For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.

And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?

Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.
