| 1:1 |
In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
|
| 1:2 |
*He* was in the beginning with God.
|
| 1:3 |
All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.
|
| 1:4 |
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
|
| 1:5 |
And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.
|
| 1:6 |
There was a man sent from God, his name John.
|
| 1:7 |
He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.
|
| 1:8 |
*He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.
|
| 1:9 |
The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.
|
| 1:10 |
He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.
|
| 1:11 |
He came to his own, and his own received him not;
|
| 1:12 |
but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
|
| 1:13 |
who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
|
| 1:14 |
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;
|
| 1:15 |
(John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)
|
| 1:16 |
for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.
|
| 1:17 |
For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.
|
| 1:18 |
No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared [him].
|
| 1:19 |
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
|
| 1:20 |
And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.
|
| 1:21 |
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
|
| 1:22 |
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
|
| 1:23 |
He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.
|
| 1:24 |
And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
|
| 1:25 |
And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
|
| 1:26 |
John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
|
| 1:27 |
he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.
|
| 1:28 |
These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
|
| 1:29 |
On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
|
| 1:30 |
He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he *was* before me;
|
| 1:31 |
and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
|
| 1:32 |
And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
|
| 1:33 |
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.
|
| 1:34 |
And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
|
| 1:35 |
Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.
|
| 1:36 |
And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.
|
| 1:37 |
And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.
|
| 1:38 |
But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And *they* said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
|
| 1:39 |
He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
|
| 1:40 |
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.
|
| 1:41 |
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).
|
| 1:42 |
And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).
|
| 1:43 |
On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
|
| 1:44 |
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
|
| 1:45 |
Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
|
| 1:46 |
And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
|
| 1:47 |
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
|
| 1:48 |
Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
|
| 1:49 |
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
|
| 1:50 |
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
|
| 1:51 |
And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
