< 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 God was the Word.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
He was in [the] beginning with God.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
All things through Him came into being, and without Him came into being not even one [thing] that has come into being.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
In Him life was, 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 in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not grasped [it].
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Was the Light true who enlightens 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.
In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received.
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.
As many as however received Him, He gave to them authority children of God to be, to those believing in the name of Him,
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born.
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 flesh became and He dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory of Him, a glory as of an 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 witnesses concerning Him and he has cried out saying; This was He (of whom I was saying; *NK(o)*) The [One] after me coming precedence over me has, because before me He was.’
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
(For *N(K)O*) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came.
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.
God no [one] has seen ever yet; (the *ko*) only begotten (God *N(K)O*) who is being in the bosom of the Father, He has made [Him] known.
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 testimony of John when sent (to him *no*) the Jews from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they may ask him; You yourself who are?
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am 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? You yourself Elijah are And he says; Not I am. The prophet are you yourself? 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 to him; Who are you? That an answer we may give to those having sent us; what say you about yourself?
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 was saying; I myself [am] a voice crying in the wilderness; do make straight the way of [the] Lord; even as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
And (those *k*) sent were out 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 they said to him; Why then baptize you if you yourself not are the Christ (nor *N(k)O*) Elijah (nor *N(k)O*) the prophet?
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Answered them John saying; I myself baptize with water; [in the] midst (now *k*) of you (he has stood *NK(o)*) whom you yourselves not know,
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
(he himself is *k*) the [One] after me coming, (who before me has been; *K*) of whom not am I myself worthy that I may untie of Him the strap of the sandal.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
These things in (Bethany *N(k)O*) took place across the Jordan where was (*no*) John 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 next day he sees (John *k*) Jesus coming to him and says; Behold the Lamb of God, who is taking 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.
He it is (concerning *N(k)O*) whom I myself said; After me comes a man who precedence over me has because before me He was.
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
And I myself And I myself not knew Him, but that He may be revealed to Israel, because of this came I myself with (*k*) water baptizing.
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
And bore witness John saying that I have beheld the Spirit descending (as *N(k)O*) a dove out of heaven, and it remained 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 myself And I myself not knew Him, but the [One] having sent me to baptize with water, He to me said; Upon whom maybe you may see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, He is the [One] baptizing with [the] Spirit Holy.
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK(O)*) of God.
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two.
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking 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?
Having turned then Jesus and having beheld them following He says to them; What seek you? And they said to Him; Rabbi which is to say (meaning *N(k)O*) Teacher — where are You staying?
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 says to them; do come and (you will behold. *N(k)O*) They went (therefore *NO*) and saw where He abides, and with Him they stayed the day that; [The] hour (now *k*) was about [the] tenth.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Finds he (first *N(k)O*) the brother [his] own Simon and he says to him; We have found the Messiah, which is being translated (*k*) 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.
(and *k*) He led him to Jesus. Having looked at (now *k*) him Jesus said; You yourself are Simon the son (of John; *N(K)O*) You yourself will be called Cephas which means Peter.
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me.
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from 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.
Finds Philip Nathanael and says to him; [Him] whom wrote of Moses in the Law also the prophets, we have found, Jesus (*ko*) son of Joseph of Nazareth.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
And said to him Nathanael; Out of Nazareth is able any good thing to be? Says to him (*no*) Philip; do come and do see.
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is.
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.
Says to Him Nathanael; From where me know You? Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; Before you Philip calling being under the fig tree I saw you.
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k*) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself (*k*) King are 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.
Answered Jesus and said to him; Because I said to you (that *no*) I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? Greater things than these You will see.
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 says to him; Amen Amen I say to all of you (from now *K*) you will behold the heaven having opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
