John 1:1-2,14-17 and other verses relating to the truth

John 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God.
The Word was with God in the beginning.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory—the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.
John testified about him and shouted out, “This one was the one about whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’ “
For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

Then Pilate said, “So you are a king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. “For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world—to testify to the truth.” Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

v17 “the Spirit of truth”, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him.
But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
v26 When the Comforter comes, whom I will send you from the Father—
“the Spirit of truth” who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me,
v13 But when he, “the Spirit of truth”, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come.

And the person who saw it has testified (and his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth), so that you also may believe.
