< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
He was in [the] beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
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 was life, and the life was the light of men.
In Him life was, and the life was the light of men,
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
And the Light in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not grasped [it].
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Was the Light true who enlightens every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received.
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:
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 were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born.
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 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 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.’”
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 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
(For *N+KO) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
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 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
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 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am the 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? 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? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
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 said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
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 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
And (those *k) sent were out from the Pharisees
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 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 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
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 is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
(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 were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
These things in (Bethany *N+kO) took place across the Jordan where was John baptizing.
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!
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 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
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 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
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 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
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 I didn’t 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 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 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK+O) of God.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God!
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking and they followed Jesus.
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?”
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 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 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 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
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 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 *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 was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from the city 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.”
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 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
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 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is.
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.”
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 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself King are 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!”
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 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 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.
