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 through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

The same came as a witness, that he might 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, and the world didn’t recognise him.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁϥⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ̅.
He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t 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.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓⲙⲉ.
The Word became flesh and lived amongst us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϥⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ
John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”

From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realised through Jesus Christ.

No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 ⲕ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡ̅ϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” 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?”

He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

They asked him, “Why then do you baptise if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

John answered them, “I baptise in water, but amongst you stands one whom you don’t know.

He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptising.

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

I didn’t recognise him, but he who sent me to baptise in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptises in the Holy Spirit.’

Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”

He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).

On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”

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.”
