John 1:15

( John bore witness about him , and cried out, This was he of whom I said , He who comes after me ranks before me , because he was before me . )

(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.`”)

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me : for he was before me.
