The Deity of Jesus Christ

(Gen 1:1—2:3 )
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:2 - this one was in the beginning with God;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:3 - all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:4 - In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:5 - and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.

The Witness John

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:6 - There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name is John,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:7 - this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:8 - that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:9 - He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:10 - in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:11 - to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:12 - but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:13 - who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.

The Word Made Flesh

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:14 - And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:15 - John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:16 - and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:17 - for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:18 - God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:28 - These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
(Mat 3:13–17; Mar 1:9–11; Luk 3:21, 22 )

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:30 - this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:31 - and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:32 - And John testified, saying -- 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:33 - and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayst see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:34 - and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'
