In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was Yukhanan.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,

who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Yukhanan testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
For the Law was given through Mushe, grace and truth came through Yeshua Meshikha.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲕⲟⲩⲛϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

And this is Yukhanan's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Urishlim to ask him, "Who are you?"
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Meshikha."
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Eliya?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲁⲓⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Eshaya the prophet said."
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Meshikha, nor Eliya, nor the Prophet?"
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
Yukhanan answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
These things were done in Beth-Naiya across the Yurdinan, where Yukhanan was baptizing.
The next day, he saw Yeshua coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲓ ⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲓ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧⲁϩⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲡⲉ
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israyel."
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲉⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲣⲟⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ
And Yukhanan testified, saying, "I saw the Rukha descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉϥϭⲉⲉⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Rukha descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Rukha d'Qudsha.'
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Again, the next day, Yukhanan was standing with two of his disciples,
and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.

And Yeshua turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲉⲓⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡ ⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.

One of the two who heard Yukhanan, and followed him, was Andreus, Shimon Kipha's brother.
He first found his own brother, Shimon, and said to him, "We have found the Meshikha." (which is translated, Anointed One).
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲛⲧϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϫⲉ ⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ
He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, "You are Shimon the son of Yukhanan. You shall be called Kipha" (which is translated, rock).
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galila, and he found Philipus. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."
Now Philipus was from Beth-Sayada, of the city of Andreus and Kipha.

Philipus found Nathanayil, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Mushe in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Yeshua of Natsrath, the son of Yauseph."
And Nathanayil said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natsrath?" Philipus said to him, "Come and see."
Yeshua saw Nathanayil coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israyelite in whom there is no deceit."

Nathanayil said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered him, "Before Philipus called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
Nathanayil answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israyel."

Yeshua answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
