John 1:15, 27, 30

John tells the truth about him and cries out, saying, “This is the One I told you about: ‘The One who comes after me is greater than I am, because he was living before me.’ ”

He is the One who comes after me. I am not good enough to untie the strings of his sandals.”

This is the One I was talking about when I said, ‘A man will come after me, but he is greater than I am, because he was living before me.’
