John 1
1 In the beginning 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 God was the Word.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
He was in [the] beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
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 was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
In Him life was, and the life was the light of men,
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
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.
There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John.
7 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him.
8 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light.
9 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
Was the Light true who enlightens every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew.
11 He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received.
12 But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
As many as however received Him, He gave to them authority children of God to be, to those believing in the name of Him,
13 who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born.
14 And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
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 gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put 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 He it is from whose fulness we have 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 human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has 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 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
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 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am the Christ.
21 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
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 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
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 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
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 They were Pharisees who had been sent.
And (those *k*) sent were out from the Pharisees
25 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither 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 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
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 is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
(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.
28 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
These things in (Bethany *N(k)O*) took place across the Jordan where was (*no*) John baptizing.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
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 about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because 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 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come 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 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained 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 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes 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 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He 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.
35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two.
36 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God!
37 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
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 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
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 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
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 looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or '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 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me.
44 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man 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 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
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 approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is.
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
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 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k*) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself (*k*) King are of Israel.
50 "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
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 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to 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.
