John 1
1 In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
ⲁ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ.
2 In the beginning he was with God.
ⲃ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
3 Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.

4 In him was life, the life that was the light of everyone.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ.
6 God sent a man named John.
ⲋ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
7 He came as a witness to explain about the light so that everyone might believe through him.
ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ.
8 He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ.
9 The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲁϥϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲙⲏⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ.
11 He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
12 But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϯⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
13 These are the children born not in the usual way, not as the result of human desire or a father's decision, but born of God.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲁⲥⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
14 The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
15 John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲓϫⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ.
16 We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲁⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧϣⲉⲃⲓⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
17 The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲓⲙⲟⲛⲟⲅⲉⲛⲏ ⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲕⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ.
19 This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲗⲉⲩⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ.
20 John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”
ⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21 “So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
22 “Well, who are you, then?” they asked. “We have to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϫⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲕ.
23 “I am a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make the Lord's way straight!’” he said, using the words of the prophet Isaiah.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ.
24 The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees

25 asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲕϯⲱⲙⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
26 John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
27 He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”

28 This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

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

32 John gave his evidence about him, saying, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him.

33 I wouldn't have known him except he who sent me to baptize with water had told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descend to and rest upon, he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

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

36 He saw Jesus passing by, and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God!”

37 When the two disciples heard what he said they went and followed Jesus.

38 Jesus turned round and saw them following him. “What are you looking for?” he asked them. “Rabbi (which means ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” they asked in reply.

39 “Come and see,” he told them. So they went with him and saw where he was staying. It was about four p.m., and they spent the rest of the day with him.

40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of these two disciples who had heard what John said and followed Jesus.

41 He went at once to find his brother Simon and told him, “We've found the Messiah!” (which means “Christ”).

42 He took him to Jesus. Looking directly at Simon, Jesus said, “You are Simon, son of John. But now you will be called Cephas,” (which means “Peter”).

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Jesus found Philip there, and told him, “Follow me.”

44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town that Andrew and Peter came from.

45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We've found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and that the prophets did too—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

46 “From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael wondered. “Just come and see,” Philip replied.

47 As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, “Look, here's a true Israelite! There's nothing false about him.”
