John 1

The Deity of Jesus Christ

1

 aIn the beginningg746 was  bthe Wordg3056, and the Wordg3056 was  cwith Godg2316, and  dthe Wordg3056 was Godg2316.

2

 1He was in the beginningg746 with Godg2316.

3

 aAllg3956 thingsg3956 cameg1096 into beingg1096 throughg1223 Him, and apartg5565 from Him nothingg3761g1520 cameg1096 into beingg1096 that has comeg1096 into beingg1096.

4

 aIn Him was lifeg2222, and the lifeg2222 was  bthe Lightg5457 of meng444.

5

 aThe Lightg5457 shinesg5316 in the darknessg4653, and the darknessg4653 did not  1comprehendg2638 it.

The Witness John

6

There  1cameg1096 a mang444 sentg649 from Godg2316, whoseg846 nameg3686 was  aJohng2491.

7

 1He cameg2064  2 aas a witnessg3141, to testifyg3140 aboutg4012 the Lightg5457,  bsog2443 that allg3956 might believeg4100 throughg1223 him.

8

 1 aHe was not the Lightg5457, but he came to testifyg3140 aboutg4012 the Lightg5457.

9

There was  athe trueg228 Lightg5457  1whichg3739, comingg2064 into the worldg2889, enlightensg5461 everyg3956 mang444.

10

He was in the worldg2889, and  athe worldg2889 was madeg1096 throughg1223 Him, and the worldg2889 did not knowg1097 Him.

11

He cameg2064 to His  1owng2398, and thoseg3588 who were His owng2398 did not receiveg3880 Him.

12

But as manyg3745 as receivedg2983 Him, to them He gaveg1325 the rightg1849 to becomeg1096  achildreng5043 of Godg2316, even  bto thoseg3588 who believeg4100 in His nameg3686,

13

 awhog3739 were  1borng1080, not of  2bloodg129 norg3761 of the willg2307 of the fleshg4561 norg3761 of the willg2307 of mang435, but of Godg2316.

The Word Made Flesh

14

And  athe Wordg3056  bbecameg1096 fleshg4561, and  1 cdweltg4637 amongg1722 us, and  dwe sawg2300 His gloryg1391, gloryg1391 as of  2the onlyg3439 begotteng3439 from the Fatherg3962, fullg4134 of  egraceg5485 and  ftruthg225.

15

Johng2491atestifiedg3140 aboutg4012 Him and criedg2896 out, sayingg3004, "Thisg3778 was He of whomg3739 I saidg3004, ` bHe who comesg2064 afterg3694 me  1hasg1096 a higherg1715 rankg1715 than I,  cfor He existedg1510 beforeg4413 me.' "

16

For of His  afullnessg4138  1we have allg3956 receivedg2983, and  2graceg5485 upon graceg5485.

17

For  athe Lawg3551 was giveng1325 throughg1223 Mosesg3475;  bgraceg5485 and  ctruthg225  1were realizedg1096 throughg1223 Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

18

 aNog3762 oneg3762 has seeng3708 Godg2316 at anyg4455 timeg4455;  bthe onlyg3439 begotteng3439 Godg2316 who is  cin the bosomg2859 of the Fatherg3962,  dHe has explainedg1834 Him.

The Testimony of John

19

Thisg3778 is  athe testimonyg3141 of Johng2491, wheng3753  bthe Jewsg2453 sentg649 to him priestsg2409 and Levitesg3019  cfrom Jerusalemg2414 to askg2065 him, "Whog5101 are you?"

20

And he confessedg3670 and did not denyg720, but confessedg3670, " aI amg1510 not  1the Christg5547."

21

They askedg2065 him, "Whatg5101 theng3767? Are you  aElijahg2243?" And he *saidg3004, "I amg1510 not." "Are you  bthe Prophetg4396?" And he answeredg611, "Nog3756."

22

Theng3767 they saidg3004 to him, "Whog5101 are you, sog2443 that we may giveg1325 an answerg612 to thoseg3588 who sentg3992 us? Whatg5101 do you sayg3004 aboutg4012 yourselfg4572?"

23

He saidg5346, "I am  aA VOICEg5456 OF ONE CRYINGg994 IN THE WILDERNESSg2048, `MAKEg2116 STRAIGHTg2116 THE WAYg3598 OF THE LORDg2962,' as Isaiahg2268 the prophetg4396 saidg3004."

24

Nowg2532 they had beeng1510 sentg649 from the Phariseesg5330.

25

They askedg2065 him, and saidg3004 to him, "Whyg5101 theng3767 are you baptizingg907, ifg1487 you are not the  1Christg5547, norg3761 Elijahg2243, norg3761  athe Prophetg4396?"

26

Johng2491 answeredg611 them sayingg3004, " aI baptizeg907  1in waterg5204, but amongg3319 you standsg4739 One whomg3739 you do not knowg3609a.

27

"It is  aHe who comesg2064 afterg3694 me, the  bthongg2438 of whoseg3739 sandalg5266 I amg1510 not worthyg514 to untieg3089."

28

Theseg3778 thingsg3778 tookg1096 placeg1096 in Bethanyg963  abeyondg4008 the Jordang2446, whereg3699 Johng2491 was baptizingg907.

29

The nextg1887 dayg1887 he *sawg991 Jesusg2424 comingg2064 to him and *saidg3004, "Beholdg2396,  athe Lambg286 of Godg2316 who  btakesg142 awayg142 the sing266 of the worldg2889!

30

"Thisg3778 is He on behalfg5228 of whomg3739 I saidg3004, ` aAfterg3694 me comesg2064 a Mang435 whog3739  1hasg1096 a higherg1715 rankg1715 than I,  bfor He existedg1510 beforeg4413 me.'

31

"I did not recognizeg3609a  1Him, but sog2443 that He might be manifestedg5319 to Israelg2474, I cameg2064 baptizingg907  2in waterg5204."

32

Johng2491  atestifiedg3140 sayingg3004, " bI have seeng2300 the Spiritg4151 descendingg2597 as a doveg4058 out of heaveng3772, and He remainedg3306 upon Him.

33

"I did not recognizeg3609a  1Him, but He who sentg3992 me to baptizeg907  2in waterg5204 saidg3004 to me, `He upon whomg3739 you seeg3708 the Spiritg4151 descendingg2597 and remainingg3306 upon Him,  athisg3778 is the One who baptizesg907  2in the Holyg40 Spiritg4151.'

34

"I myselfg1473 have seeng3708, and have testifiedg3140 that thisg3778 is  athe Song5207 of Godg2316."

Againg3825  athe nextg1887 dayg1887 Johng2491 was standingg2476  1with twog1417 of his disciplesg3101,

36

and he lookedg1689 at Jesusg2424 as He walkedg4043, and *saidg3004, "Beholdg2396,  athe Lambg286 of Godg2316!"

37

The twog1417 disciplesg3101 heardg191 him speakg2980, and they followedg190 Jesusg2424.

38

And Jesusg2424 turnedg4762 and sawg2300 them followingg190, and *saidg3004 to them, "Whatg5101 do you seekg2212?" They saidg3004 to Him, " aRabbig4461 (whichg3739 translatedg3177 meansg3004 Teacherg1320), whereg4226 are You stayingg3306?"

39

He *saidg3004 to them, "Comeg2064, and you will seeg3708." Sog3767 they cameg2064 and sawg3708 whereg4226 He was stayingg3306; and they stayedg3306 with Him that dayg2250, for it was aboutg5613 the  1tenthg1182 hourg5610.

40

 aOneg1520 of the twog1417 who heardg191 Johng2491 speak and followedg190 Him, was Andrewg406, Simong4613 Peter'sg4074 brotherg80.

He *foundg2147 firstg4413 his owng2398 brotherg80 Simong4613 and *saidg3004 to him, "We have foundg2147 the  aMessiahg3323" (whichg3739 translatedg3177 meansg1510  1Christg5547).

42

He broughtg71 him to Jesusg2424. Jesusg2424 lookedg1689 at him and saidg3004, "You are Simong4613 the song5207 of  1 aJohng2491; you shall be calledg2564  bCephasg2786" (whichg3739 is translatedg2059  2 cPeterg4074).

43

 aThe nextg1887 dayg1887 He purposedg2309 to gog1831 into  bGalileeg1056, and He *foundg2147  cPhilipg5376. And Jesusg2424 *saidg3004 to him, dFollowg190 Me."

44

Nowg1161  aPhilipg5376 was from  bBethsaidag966, of the cityg4172 of Andrewg406 and Peterg4074.

45

 aPhilipg5376 *foundg2147  bNathanaelg3482 and *saidg3004 to him, "We have foundg2147 Him of whomg3739  cMosesg3475 in the Lawg3551 and also  cthe Prophetsg4396 wroteg1125--Jesusg2424 of  dNazarethg3478,  ethe song5207 of Josephg2501."

46

Nathanaelg3482 saidg3004 to him, " aCang1410 anyg5100 goodg18 thingg18 comeg1510 out of Nazarethg3478?"  bPhilipg5376 *saidg3004 to him, "Comeg2064 and seeg3708."

47

Jesusg2424 sawg3708 Nathanaelg3482 comingg2064 to Him, and *saidg3004 of him, "Beholdg2396, an  aIsraeliteg2475a indeedg230, in whomg3739 thereg1510 is nog3756 deceitg1388!"

48

Nathanaelg3482 *saidg3004 to Him, "Howg4159 do You knowg1097 me?" Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to him, "Beforeg4253  aPhilipg5376 calledg5455 you, when you were underg5259 the figg4808 treeg4808, I sawg3708 you."

49

Nathanaelg3482 answeredg611 Him, " aRabbig4461, You are  bthe Song5207 of Godg2316; You are the  cKingg935 of Israelg2474."

50

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to him, "Becauseg3754 I saidg3004 to you that I sawg3708 you underg5270 the figg4808 treeg4808, do you believeg4100? You will seeg3708 greaterg3173 thingsg3173 than theseg3778."

51

And He *saidg3004 to him, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, you will seeg3708  athe heavensg3772 openedg455 and  bthe angelsg32a of Godg2316 ascendingg305 and descendingg2597 on  cthe Song5207 of Mang444."
