John 1:15
Douay-Rheims
John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
George Leo Haydock
Is preferred before me. [4] Literally, is made before me. The sense, says St. Chrysostom is, that he is greater in dignity, deserves greater honour, &c. though born after me, he was from eternity. (Witham)
