John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
The same, was originally, with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
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 shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
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:
13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
14 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.
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.
15 John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
(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.)
16 And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace.
Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
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].
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
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?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
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.
24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.
And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to loose.
after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is preferred before me: for he was before me.
This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing in water.
And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he abode upon him.
And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
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.
34 And I saw, and bore witness that this is the Son of God.
I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi, ( which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
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?
39 He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
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.
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
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.
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.
On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
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!
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael saith to him, How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
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.
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
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!
51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, After this ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
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.
