John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
This same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
20 He declared, and did not deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
22 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen.”
He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
