In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
2
|
He was in the beginning with God; |
3
|
all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. |
4
|
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. |
5
|
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. |
6
|
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. |
7
|
He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. |
8
|
He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. |
9
|
The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. |
10
|
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. |
11
|
He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. |
12
|
But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; |
13
|
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. |
14
|
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. |
15
|
(John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'") |
16
|
And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. |
17
|
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
18
|
No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known. |
19
|
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" |
20
|
He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." |
21
|
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No." |
22
|
They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" |
23
|
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, `Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said." |
24
|
Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. |
25
|
They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" |
26
|
John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know, |
27
|
even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." |
28
|
This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
29
|
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! |
30
|
This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.' |
31
|
I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel." |
32
|
And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. |
33
|
I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' |
34
|
And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God." |
35
|
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; |
36
|
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" |
37
|
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. |
38
|
Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?" |
39
|
He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. |
40
|
One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. |
41
|
He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). |
42
|
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter). |
43
|
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." |
44
|
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. |
45
|
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." |
46
|
Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." |
47
|
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" |
48
|
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." |
49
|
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" |
50
|
Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these." |
51
|
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." |
