John 1

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God-Theos, and the Word was God-Theos.

2The same was in the beginning with God-Theos.

3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6There was a man sent from God-Theos, whose name [was] Yochanan [Yehovah has graced].

7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.

8He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear witness of that Light.

9 [That] was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God-Theos, [even] to them that believe on his name:

13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God-Theos.

14And 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.

15Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] bore witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17For the law was given through Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], [but] grace and tcame by Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].

18No man has seen God-Theos at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared [him].

19And this is the record of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], when the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] sent priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to ask him, Who are youi?

20And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Moshiach [Messiah].

21And they asked him, What then? Are youi Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]? And he says, I am not. Are youi that prophet? And he answered, No.

22Then said they unto him, Who are youi? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say youi of yourself?

23He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord - Kurios, as said the prophet Yesha’yahu [Yah is salvation].

24And they which were sent were of the P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists].

25And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptize youi then, if youi be not that Moshiach [Messiah], nor Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], neither that prophet?

26Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom you2f know not;

27He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s sandal lace I am not worthy to unloose.

28These things were done in Bet-Abara [house of the ford] beyond Yarden [descender], where Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] was baptizing.

29The next day Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] sees Yeshua [God is Salvation] coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God-Theos, which takes away the sin of the world.

30This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

31And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], therefore am I come baptizing in water.

32And Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] bore record, saying, I saw the Spirit [Ruach] descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, the same said unto me, Upon whom youi shall see the Spirit [Ruach] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh].

34And I saw, and bore record that this is the Son of God-Theos.

35Again the next day after Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] stood, and two of his disciples;

36And looking upon Yeshua [God is Salvation] as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God-Theos!

37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua [God is Salvation].

38Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] turned, and saw them following, and says unto them, What seek you2f? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwell youi?

39He says unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

40One of the two which heard Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] [speak], and followed him, was Andrew [of a man], Shim’on [he has heard] Kefa [pebble]’s brother.

41He first finds his own brother Shim’on [he has heard], and says unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Moshiach [Messiah].

42And he brought him to Yeshua [God is Salvation]. And when Yeshua [God is Salvation] beheld him, he said, youi are Shim’on [he has heard] the son of Yona [peaceable]: youi shall be called Kefa, which is by interpretation, A pebble.

43The day following Yeshua [God is Salvation] would go forth into Galil [circuit, district], and finds Philip [friend of horses], and says unto him, Follow me.

44Now Philip [friend of horses] was of Beit-Tzaidah [house of fish], the city of Andrew [of a man] and Kefa [pebble].

45Philip [friend of horses] finds Nathanael, and says unto him, We have found him, of whom Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] in the law, and the prophets, did write, Yeshua [God is Salvation] of Natzeret [one separated], the son of Yosef [God will add].

46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Natzeret [one separated]? Philip [friend of horses] says unto him, Come and see.

47Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold an Israeli indeed, in whom is no deceit!

48Nathanael says unto him, Whence know youi me? Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said unto him, Before that Philip [friend of horses] called youi, when youi were under the fig tree, I saw youi.

49Nathanael answered and says unto him, Rabbi, youi are the Son of God-The Father; youi are the King of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God].

50Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said unto him, Because I said unto youi, I saw youi under the fig tree, believe youi? youi shall see greater things than these.

51And he says unto him, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Hereafter you2f shall see heaven open, and the angels of God-The Father ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.

John 1

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14And 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.

John the Baptist's Testimony

15John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 20And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. 21And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 22Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 25And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 26John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 27he it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 28These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Behold the Lamb of God

29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 31And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

His First Disciples

35Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

43The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. 44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
