He was in [the] beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been 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 him is life; and the life was the light of men.
In Him life was, and the life was the light of men,
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received 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 John.

13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

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 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
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 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
(For *N(K)O*) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
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 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask 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 declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the 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 Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the 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 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
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 “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
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 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
And (those *k*) sent were out from the Pharisees
25 and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the 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 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know 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 who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
(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.

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 said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
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 knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in 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 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon 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 knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
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 have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK(O)*) of God.

36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
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 saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
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 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the 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 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
(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 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is 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 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith 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 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, 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 saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw 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 him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the 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 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things than 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 saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son 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.
