< John 1 >

1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ
2 The same, was originally, with God.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
3 All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϫⲛⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ
4 in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
ⲇ̅ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ
5 And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ϥⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
ⲋ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥⲉⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲉⲉ ⲉⲧⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
10 In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲓ ϣⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ
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:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
13 Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓ ⲙⲉ
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.)
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲡⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧⲁϩⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲡⲉ
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
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].
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲕⲟⲩⲛϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
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?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ
20 and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡ︦ϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
21 and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
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?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲕ
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.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲁⲓⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲛⲛⲉⲩ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ
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?
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲕⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.

28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁ ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
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.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
30 This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.

31 And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.

32 And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon 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.

34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.

35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;

36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!

37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.

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?
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲕⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲧⲱⲛ
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.

40 One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

41 The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.

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.

43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city 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!

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, 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.

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!
