In the beginning
was
the Word
, and
the Word
was
with
God
, and
the Word
was
God
.
The same was
in
the beginning
with
God
.
All things were made
by
him
; and
without
him
was
not
any thing
made
that
was made
.
In him
was
life
; and
the life
was
the light
of men
.
And the light
shineth
in
darkness
; and
the darkness
comprehended
it
not
.
There was a man
sent
from
God
, whose
name
was John
.
The same came
for
a witness
, to
bear witness
of
the Light
, that
all
men through
him
might believe
.
He was not
that
Light
, but
was sent to
bear witness
of
that Light
.
That was the true
Light
, which
lighteth
every man
that cometh
into
the world
.
He was in
the world
, and
the world
was made
by
him
, and
the world
knew
him
not
.
He came unto
his own
, and
his own
received
him
not
.
But as many as
received
him
, to them
gave he
power
to become
the sons
of God
, even to them that believe
on
his
name
:
Which were born
, not
of
blood
, nor
of
the will
of the flesh
, nor
of
the will
of man
, but
of
God
.
And the Word
was made
flesh
, and
dwelt
among
us
, (and
we beheld
his
glory
, the glory
as
of the only begotten
of
the Father
,) full
of grace
and
truth
.
John bare witness
of
him
, and
cried
, saying
, This
was he
of whom
I spake
, He that cometh
after
me
is preferred
before
me
: for
he was
before
me
.
And of
his
fulness
have
all
we
received
, and
grace
for
grace
.
For the law
was given
by
Moses
, but grace
and
truth
came
by
Jesus
Christ
.
No man hath seen
God
at any time
; the only begotten
Son
, which
is
in
the bosom
of the Father
, he
hath declared
him .
And this
is
the record
of John
, when
the Jews
sent
priests
and
Levites
from
Jerusalem
to
ask
him
, Who
art
thou
?
And he confessed
, and
denied
not
; but
confessed
,
I
am
not
the Christ
.
And they asked
him
, What
then
? Art
thou
Elias
? And
he saith
, I am
not
. Art
thou
that prophet
? And
he answered
, No
.
Then said they
unto him
, Who
art thou
? that
we may give
an answer
to them that sent
us
. What
sayest thou
of
thyself
?
He said, I
am the voice
of one crying
in
the wilderness
, Make straight
the way
of the Lord
, as
said
the prophet
Esaias
.
And they which
were sent
were
of
the Pharisees
.
And they asked
him
, and
said
unto him
, Why
baptizest thou
then
, if
thou
be
not
that Christ
, nor
Elias
, neither
that prophet
?
John answered
them
, saying
, I
baptize
with
water
: but
there standeth one
among
you
, whom
ye
know
not
;
He it is
, who
coming
after
me
is preferred
before
me
, whose
shoe's
latchet
I
am
not
worthy
to
unloose
.
These things were done
in
Bethabara
beyond
Jordan
, where
John
was
baptizing
.
The next day John
seeth
Jesus
coming
unto
him
, and
saith
, Behold
the Lamb
of God
, which
taketh away
the sin
of the world
.
This is he
of
whom
I
said
, After
me
cometh
a man
which
is preferred
before
me
: for
he was
before
me
.
And I knew
him
not
: but
that
he should be made manifest
to Israel
, therefore
am
I
come
baptizing
with
water
.
And John
bare record
, saying
,
I saw
the Spirit
descending
from
heaven
like
a dove
, and
it abode
upon
him
.
And I knew
him
not
: but
he that sent
me
to baptize
with
water
, the same
said
unto me
, Upon
whom
thou shalt see
the Spirit
descending
, and
remaining
on
him
, the same
is
he which baptizeth
with
the Holy
Ghost
.
And I saw
, and
bare record
that
this
is
the Son
of God
.
Again the next day after
John
stood
, and
two
of
his
disciples
;
And looking upon
Jesus
as he walked
, he saith
, Behold
the Lamb
of God
!
And the two
disciples
heard
him
speak
, and
they followed
Jesus
.
Then Jesus
turned
, and
saw
them
following
, and saith
unto them
, What
seek ye
?
They said
unto him
, Rabbi
, (which
is to say
, being interpreted
, Master
,) where
dwellest thou
?
He saith unto them
, Come
and
see
. They came
and
saw
where
he dwelt
, and
abode
with
him
that
day
: for
it was
about
the tenth
hour
.
One of
the two
which
heard
John
speak , and
followed
him
, was
Andrew
, Simon
Peter's
brother
.
He first
findeth
his own
brother
Simon
, and
saith
unto him
, We have found
the Messias
, which
is
, being interpreted
, the Christ
.
And he brought
him
to
Jesus
. And
when Jesus
beheld
him
, he said
, Thou
art
Simon
the son
of Jona
: thou
shalt be called
Cephas
, which
is by interpretation
, A stone
.
The day following Jesus
would
go forth
into
Galilee
, and
findeth
Philip
, and
saith
unto him
, Follow
me
.
Now Philip
was
of
Bethsaida
, the city
of
Andrew
and
Peter
.
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
.
And Nathanael
said
unto him
, Can
there any
good thing
come
out of
Nazareth
? Philip
saith
unto him
, Come
and
see
.
Jesus saw
Nathanael
coming
to
him
, and
saith
of
him
, Behold
an Israelite
indeed
, in
whom
is
no
guile
!
Nathanael saith
unto him
, Whence
knowest thou
me
? Jesus
answered
and
said
unto him
, Before
that Philip
called
thee
, when thou wast
under
the fig tree
, I saw
thee
.
Nathanael answered
and
saith
unto him
, Rabbi
, thou
art
the Son
of God
; thou
art
the King
of Israel
.
Jesus answered
and
said
unto him
, Because
I said
unto thee
, I saw
thee
under
the fig tree
, believest thou
? thou shalt see
greater things
than these
.
And he saith
unto him
, Verily
, verily
, I say
unto you
, Hereafter
ye shall see
heaven
open
, and
the angels
of God
ascending
and
descending
upon
the Son
of man
.
