< John 1 >

1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. 2 He was in [the] beginning with God. 3 All things through Him came into being, and without Him came into being not even one [thing] that has come into being. 4 In Him life was, and the life was the light of men, 5 And the Light in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not grasped [it]. 6 There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John. 7 He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him. 8 Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light. 9 Was the Light true who enlightens every man coming into the world. 10 In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew. 11 To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received. 12 As many as however received Him, He gave to them authority children of God to be, to those believing in the name of Him, 13 who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born. 14 And the Word flesh became and He dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory of Him, a glory as of an only begotten from [the] Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John witnesses concerning Him and he has cried out saying; This was He (of whom I was saying; *NK+o) The [One] after me coming precedence over me has, because before me He was.’ 16 (For *N+KO) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace. 17 For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came. 18 God no [one] has seen ever yet; (the *ko) only begotten (God *N+KO) who is being in the bosom of the Father, He has made [Him] known. 19 And this is the testimony of John when sent (to him *no) the Jews from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they may ask him; You yourself who are? 20 And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am the Christ. 21 And they asked him; What then? You yourself Elijah are And he says; Not I am. The prophet are you yourself? And he answered; No. 22 They said therefore to him; Who are you? That an answer we may give to those having sent us; what say you about yourself? 23 He was saying; I myself [am] a voice crying in the wilderness; do make straight the way of [the] Lord; even as said Isaiah the prophet. 24 And (those *k) sent were out from the Pharisees 25 And they asked him and they said to him; Why then baptize you if you yourself not are the Christ (nor *N+kO) Elijah (nor *N+kO) the prophet? 26 Answered them John saying; I myself baptize with water; [in the] midst (now *k) of you (he has stood *NK+o) whom you yourselves not know, 27 (he himself is *k) the [One] after me coming, (who before me has been; *K) of whom not am I myself worthy that I may untie of Him the strap of the sandal. 28 These things in (Bethany *N+kO) took place across the Jordan where was John baptizing. 29 On the next day he sees (John *k) Jesus coming to him and says; Behold the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world. 30 He it is (concerning *N+kO) whom I myself said; After me comes a man who precedence over me has because before me He was. 31 And I myself And I myself not knew Him, but that He may be revealed to Israel, because of this came I myself with water baptizing. 32 And bore witness John saying that I have beheld the Spirit descending (as *N+kO) a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon Him. 33 And I myself And I myself not knew Him, but the [One] having sent me to baptize with water, He to me said; Upon whom maybe you may see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, He is the [One] baptizing with [the] Spirit Holy. 34 And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK+O) of God. 35 On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two. 36 And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God! 37 And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking and they followed Jesus. 38 Having turned then Jesus and having beheld them following He says to them; What seek you? And they said to Him; Rabbi which is to say (meaning *N+kO) Teacher — where are You staying? 39 He says to them; do come and (you will behold. *N+kO) They went (therefore *NO) and saw where He abides, and with Him they stayed the day that; [The] hour (now *k) was about [the] tenth. 40 Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him. 41 Finds he (first *N+kO) the brother [his] own Simon and he says to him; We have found the Messiah, which is being translated Christ. 42 (and *k) He led him to Jesus. Having looked at (now *k) him Jesus said; You yourself are Simon the son (of John; *N+KO) You yourself will be called Cephas which means Peter. 43 On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me. 44 Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Finds Philip Nathanael and says to him; [Him] whom wrote of Moses in the Law also the prophets, we have found, Jesus son of Joseph of Nazareth. 46 And said to him Nathanael; Out of Nazareth is able any good thing to be? Says to him Philip; do come and do see. 47 Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is. 48 Says to Him Nathanael; From where me know You? Answered Jesus and said to him; Before you Philip calling being under the fig tree I saw you. 49 Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself King are of Israel. 50 Answered Jesus and said to him; Because I said to you (that *no) I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? Greater things than these You will see. 51 And He says to him; Amen Amen I say to all of you (from now *K) you will behold the heaven having opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
