In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made which hath been made.
In him was life: and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God—his name John.
The same came for witness that he might witness about the light , that all might believe through him.
He was not the light, but that he might witness about the light.
The true light was that which, coming into the world ., lighteth every man
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not;
but as many as received him, to them he gave authority to become children of God , to those that believe on his name;
who were born not of blood, nor of flesh’s will, nor of man’s will, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only-begotten from beside a father), full of grace and truth.
John witnesseth about him, and hath cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me, for he was before me,
and of his fullness all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
No one hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father—he declared [him].
And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Who art thou?
And he confessed, and denied not, and confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
They said therefore to him, Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
He said, I [am the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of Jehovah, as said Isaiah the prophet.
And they were sent from among the Pharisees;
and they asked him and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
John answered them saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth, whom ye know not,
he who cometh after me, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the thong of his sandal.
These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan where John was baptizing.
On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world!
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me, for he was before me.
And I knew him not, but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore came I baptizing with water.
And John bore witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not; but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, this is he that baptizeth with [the] Holy Spirit.
And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
Again, on the morrow, stood John and two of his disciples;
and, looking at Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
and the two disciples heard him speak, and followed Jesus.
But Jesus, having turned and beheld them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou?
He saith to them, Come and see. They went therefore and saw where he abode, and abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard [it] from John and followed him.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which interpreted is Christ),
and he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas (which is interpreted Peter).
On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus findeth Philip and saith to him, Follow me.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus from Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
And Nathanael said to him, Can there be any good thing out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Nathanael saith 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.
Nathanael answered [and saith to] him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
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.
And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you [Henceforth] ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
