The Law and the Gospel (Lucas Cranach the Elder, 1529, Národní galerie, Sternberg Palace, Prague)
Jn 1:15-18

John testified to him and cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'" From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him.
