John 1
1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
B'resheet ·In the beginning of the beginning· was ha D'var ·the Word·, and ha D'var ·the Word· was with God, and ha D'var ·the Word· was God.
2 The same, was originally, with God.
The 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 came to be through him and without him nothing made had being.
4 in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John [Yah is gracious].
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might trust through him.
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming 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 world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
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 received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who trust 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.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will 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.
Ha D'var ·The Word· became flesh, and tabernacled among us. We saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, such shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· as of the one and only Son of the Abba ·Father·, full of grace and truth.
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.)
John [Yah is gracious] testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
For the Torah ·Teaching· was given through Moses [Drawn out]; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah [Salvation Anointed one].
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 one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, he has 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?
This is John [Yah is gracious]’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites [Descendants of United with] from Jerusalem [City of peace] to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Messiah [Anointed one].”
21 and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah [My God Yah]?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet (promised Messiah)?” 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?
They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
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 voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of MarYah [Master Yahweh],’ as Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet said.”
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees [Separated].
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?
They asked him, “Why then do you mikvah ·baptise·, if you are not the Messiah [Anointed one], nor Elijah [My God Yah], nor the prophet (promised Messiah)?”
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
John [Yah is gracious] answered them, “I mikvah ·baptise· in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
These things were done in Bethany [House of affliction] beyond the Jordan [Descender], where John [Yah is gracious] was baptizing.
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, he saw Yeshua [Salvation] coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the abstract sin ·miss the mark· 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 said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
31 And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel [God prevails].”
32 And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
John [Yah is gracious] testified, saying, “I have seen haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on 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.
I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to mikvah ·baptise· in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who does mikvah ·baptise· in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness].’
34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
I have seen, and have testified that this is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
Again, the next day, John [Yah is gracious] was standing with two of his disciples,
36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
and he looked at Yeshua [Salvation] as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua [Salvation].
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?
Yeshua [Salvation] turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi!” (Which is to say, being interpreted, ·Teacher·). “Where are you staying?”
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 said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
40 One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
One of the two who heard John [Yah is gracious], and followed him, was Andrew [Manly], Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock]’s brother.
41 The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
He first found his own brother, Simeon [Hearing], and said to him, “We have found the Messiah [Anointed one]!” (which is, being interpreted, Moshiach ·Anointed one·).
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.
He brought him to Yeshua [Salvation]. Yeshua [Salvation] looked at him, and said, “You are Simeon [Hearing] the son of Jonah [Dove]. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter [Rock]).
43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee [District, Circuit], and he found Philip [Loves horses]. Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Now Philip [Loves horses] was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew [Manly] and Peter [Rock].
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!
Philip [Loves horses] found Nathanael [Given by God], and said to him, “We have found the one that Moses [Drawn out] wrote about in the Torah ·Teaching·, and the Prophets— it is Yeshua [Salvation] son of Joseph [May he add] from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
46 And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]?” Philip [Loves horses] said 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] saw Nathanael [Given by God] coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
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 [Given by God] said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Before Philip [Loves horses] called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
Nathanael [Given by God] answered him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·! You are Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails]!”
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!
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you trust? You will see greater things than 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.
He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
