John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
B'resheet ·In the beginning of the beginning· was ha D'var ·the Word·, and ha D'var ·the Word· was with God, and ha D'var ·the Word· was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Him, and without Him nothing was made, that has been made.
All things came to be through him and without him nothing made had being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of the men.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man having been sent from God, whose name was John;
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John [Yah is gracious].
7 The same came for a witness, that he might bear witness concerning the light, in order that all through him might believe.
The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness concerning the light.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 That was the true light, which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.
He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
12 But so many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become the children of God, to those believing on His name:
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
13 who were born not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 The Word was made flesh, and tented among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth.
Ha D'var ·The Word· became flesh, and tabernacled among us. We saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, such shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· as of the one and only Son of the Abba ·Father·, full of grace and truth.
15 John beareth witness concerning Him, and cried out saying; This is He of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me has been before me:
John [Yah is gracious] 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.’”
16 because He was my Creator. And of His fullness we all received grace upon grace.
From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17 Because the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
For the Torah ·Teaching· was given through Moses [Drawn out]; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah [Salvation Anointed one].
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, the one being in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared him.
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, he has declared him.
19 This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, that they might ask him,
This is John [Yah is gracious]’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites [Descendants of United with] from Jerusalem [City of peace] to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Who art thou? and he confessed and denied not, and confessed that, I am not the Christ.
He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Messiah [Anointed one].”
21 They asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Art thou that prophet?
They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah [My God Yah]?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 And he responded, No. Then they said to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those having sent us. What do you say concerning yourself?
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?”
23 I am the voice of one roaring in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord as Isaiah the prophet said.
He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of MarYah [Master Yahweh],’ as Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet said.”
24 And those having been sent were of the Pharisees.
The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees [Separated].
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor that prophet?
They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah [Anointed one], nor Elijah [My God Yah], nor the prophet?”
26 John responded to them, saying, I baptize with water: There standeth One in your midst whom you do not know,
John [Yah is gracious] answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
27 the One coming after me, of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the latchet of His sandal.
He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
These things were done in Bethany [House of affliction] beyond the Jordan [Descender], where John [Yah is gracious] was baptizing.
29 On the following day he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world.
The next day, he saw Yeshua [Salvation] coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is He concerning whom I spoke, A man cometh after me who has been before me: because he was my Creator.
This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
31 And I did not know Him, but in order that He may be made manifest to Israel, on this account I came baptizing with water.
I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel [God prevails].”
32 And John testified saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and remained on Him.
John [Yah is gracious] testified, saying, “I have seen haRuach [the Spirit] descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 And I did not know Him, but the One having sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whom you may see the Spirit descending and remaining on Him, He is the one baptizing with the Holy Ghost.
I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see haRuach [the Spirit] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness].’
34 And I have seen, and testified that He is the Son of God.
I have seen, and have testified that this is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
35 On the following day John again stood, and two of his disciples,
Again, the next day, John [Yah is gracious] was standing with two of his disciples,
36 and looking upon Jesus walking about, says, Behold, the Lamb of God.
and he looked at Yeshua [Salvation] as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speaking and followed Jesus.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua [Salvation].
38 Jesus turning and seeing them following, says to them, What are you seeking? and they said to Him, Doctor, (which is said, being interpreted, Teacher), where dwellest thou?
Yeshua [Salvation] turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
39 He says to them; Come and see. Then they came and saw where He dwelleth, and they abode with Him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
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 four o'clock in the afternoon.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two hearing from John, and follows Him;
One of the two who heard John [Yah is gracious], and followed him, was Andrew [Manly], Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock]’s brother.
41 he first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found Messiah, which is being interpreted, Christ.
He first found his own brother, Simeon [Hearing], and said to him, “We have found the Messiah [Anointed one]!” (which is, being interpreted, Moshiach ·Anointed one·).
42 He led him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said; Thou art Simon the Son of Jonah, thou shalt be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter).
He brought him to Yeshua [Salvation]. Yeshua [Salvation] looked at him, and said, “You are Simeon [Hearing] the son of Jonah [Dove]. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter [Rock]).
43 On the following day he wished to depart into Galilee, and he finds Philip. And Jesus says to him; Follow me.
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee [District, Circuit], and he found Philip [Loves horses]. Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Now Philip [Loves horses] was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew [Manly] and Peter [Rock].
45 Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, We have found Him, of whom Moses and the prophets, in the law, did write, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
Philip [Loves horses] found Nathanael [Given by God], and said to him, “We have found the one that Moses [Drawn out] wrote about in the Torah ·Teaching·, and the Prophets— it is Yeshua [Salvation] son of Joseph [May he add] from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
46 Nathanael said to him, Is any good thing able to come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]?” Philip [Loves horses] said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says concerning him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
Yeshua [Salvation] saw Nathanael [Given by God] coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
48 Nathanael says to Him, Whence do you know me? Jesus responded and said to him, Before Philip called you, I saw you, being under the fig-tree.
Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Before Philip [Loves horses] called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael responded, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel.
Nathanael [Given by God] answered him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·! You are Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails]!”
50 Jesus responded and said to him, Because I said to thee, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
51 And He says to him, Truly, truly, I say unto you, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
