He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”

And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ).

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’

“Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Could This Be the Christ?

Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill?

But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”

And many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”

Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee?

Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

The people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’ ? Who is this Son of Man?”

but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
