John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12 But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.
33 And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou?
39 He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
50 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
