Juan 1

Johannes zeuget von ihm, ruft und spricht: Dieser war es, von dem ich gesagt habe: nach mir wird kommen, der vor mir gewesen ist; denn er war eher denn ich.

Juan dió testimonio de él, y clamó diciendo: Este es del que yo decía: El que viene tras mí, es antes de mí: porque es primero que yo.

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.

John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
