for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.

And he confessed, and did not deny; and he confessed: I am not the Christ.

and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;)

You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

The woman said to him: I know that Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming; when he comes, he will tell us all things.

Come, see a man who has told me all things that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?

and they said to the woman: We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is in truth the Savior of the world, the Christ.

and we believe, and know that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

and, lo, he is speaking boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers really learned that this is the Christ?

But we know this man, whence he is. But when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is.

And many of the multitude believed on him, and said: When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this man has done?

Others said: This is the Christ. But others said: Does the Christ come out of Galilee?

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

She said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that the Christ remains forever: and how say you that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life through his name.
