John the Baptist Sent as a Witness

John 1:6-13

There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.

This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.

He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.

This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.

He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.

He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.

But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.

Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
