John 1
1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and 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 were made by him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
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.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, 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 by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
He came unto his own, and they that were his own received 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 received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on 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 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.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the 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 beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus 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 seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom 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?
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask 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 he confessed, I am not the 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 Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the 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?
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
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 the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
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 said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
These things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John 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.
On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin 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 cometh a man which is become 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.
And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I 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.
And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as 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.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
And the two disciples heard him speak, 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?
And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where abidest 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 saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him 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.
One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’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 findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, 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.
He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
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!
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, 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 saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 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!
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt 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.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
