John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ
2 He was with God in the beginning.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
ⲋ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ
7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ
8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥⲉⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ
9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲉⲉ ⲉⲧⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲓ ϣⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ
12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓ ⲙⲉ
15 John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲡⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧⲁϩⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲡⲉ
16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲕⲟⲩⲛϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡ︦ϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲕ
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲁⲓⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲛⲛⲉⲩ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ
25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲕⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

39 “Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).

45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
