In the beginning the Word existed; and the Word was face to face with God; yea, the Word was God Himself.

John testified to Him and cried out, for this was the one who said, "The One who is coming after me has been put before me, because He existed before me."

This is the One about whom I said, 'After me there is coming a man who has already been put before me, because He existed before me.'

Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, I existed before Abraham was born."

So now, Father, glorify me up there in your presence just as you did before the world existed.
