John 1
1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
2 The same, was originally, with God.
This same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
4 in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
10 In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
12 But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on his name:
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.
13 Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
14 And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
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.
15 (John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
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.
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
18 No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question him—Who art, thou?
Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
20 and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
21 and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
22 So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
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?
23 He said—I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; —In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
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.
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
25 and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
29 On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
30 This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
31 And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
32 And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
33 And, I, knew him not, —but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
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.
34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
38 But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?
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?
39 He saith unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode that day. It was about the tenth, hour.
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.
40 One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
41 The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
42 He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
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.
43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
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.
46 And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael saith unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto him—Before Philip called thee, —when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
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.
49 Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!
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.
51 And he saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
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.
