John 1

1In the beginning wasG1510 the WordG3056, and the WordG3056 wasG1510 with GodG2316, and the WordG3056 wasG1510 GodG2316. 2The same wasG1510 in the beginning with GodG2316. 3All thingsG3956 were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 4In him wasG1510 lifeG2222; and the lifeG2222 wasG1510 the lightG5457 of menG444. 5And the lightG5457 shineth in the darknessG4653; and the darknessG4653 apprehended it not. 6There cameG1096 a manG444, sentG649 from GodG2316, whose nameG3686 was JohnG2491. 7The sameG846 cameG2064 for witnessG3140, that he might bearG3140 witnessG3140 of the lightG5457, that all might believeG4100 through him. 8He wasG1510 not the lightG5457, but came that he might bearG3140 witnessG3140 of the lightG5457. 9There wasG1510 the trueG228 lightG5457, even the lightG5457 which lighteth every manG444, comingG2064 into the worldG2889. 10He wasG1510 in the worldG2889, and the worldG2889 wasG1510 made through him, and the worldG2889 knewG1097 him not. 11He cameG2064 unto his ownG2398, and they that were his ownG2398 receivedG3880 him not. 12But as manyG3745 as receivedG2983 him, to them gaveG1325 he the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 childrenG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 on his nameG3686: 13who were bornG1080, not of bloodG129, nor of the will of the fleshG4561, nor of the will of manG435, but of GodG2316. 14And the WordG3056 becameG1096 fleshG4561, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his gloryG1391, gloryG1391 as of the onlyG3439 begottenG3439 from the FatherG3962), fullG4134 of graceG5485 and truthG225. 15JohnG2491 beareth witnessG3140 of him, and crieth, sayingG3004, This wasG1510 he of whom I saidG3004, He that cometh after me isG1510 becomeG1096 before me: for he wasG1510 before me. 16For of his fulness we all receivedG2983, and graceG5485 for graceG5485. 17For the lawG3551 was givenG1325 through MosesG3475; graceG5485 and truthG225 cameG1096 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 18No man hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207, who isG1510 in the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, he hath declared him.

19And this isG1510 the witnessG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 the JewsG2453 sentG649 unto him from JerusalemG2414 priestsG2409 and Levites to askG2065 him, Who art thou? 20And he confessedG3670, and deniedG720 not; and he confessedG3670, I amG1510 not the ChristG5547. 21And they askedG2065 him, What then? Art thou ElijahG2243? And he saith, I amG1510 not. Art thou the prophetG4396? And he answeredG611, No. 22They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto him, Who art thou? that we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to them that sentG3992 us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23He saidG3004, I am the voiceG5456 of oneG3588 cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048, Make straight the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, as saidG3004 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396. 24And they had beenG1510 sentG649 from the PhariseesG5330. 25And they askedG2065 him, and saidG3004 unto him, WhyG5101 then baptizest thou, if thou art not the ChristG5547, neither ElijahG2243, neither the prophetG4396? 26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them, sayingG3004, I baptizeG907 in waterG5204: in the midstG3319 of you standeth oneG3739 whom ye know not, 27even he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I amG1510 not worthyG514 to unloose. 28These thingsG3778 wereG1510 done in BethanyG963 beyond the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptizingG907.

29On the morrow he seeth JesusG2424 comingG2064 unto him, and saith, BeholdG2396, the LambG286 of GodG2316, that taketh awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889! 30This isG1510 he of whom I saidG3004, After me cometh a manG435 who isG1510 becomeG1096 before me: for he wasG1510 before me. 31And I knew him not; but that he should be madeG5319 manifestG5319 to IsraelG2474, for this cause cameG2064 I baptizingG907 in waterG5204. 32And JohnG2491 bare witnessG3140, sayingG3004, I have beheld the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058 out of heavenG3772; and it abode upon him. 33And I knew him not: but he that sentG3992 me to baptizeG907 in waterG5204, he saidG3004 unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt seeG3708 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, and abidingG3306 upon him, the sameG846 isG1510 he that baptizeth in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 34And I have seenG3708, and have borne witnessG3140 that this isG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.

35AgainG3825 on the morrow JohnG2491 was standingG2476, and twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101; 36and he looked upon JesusG2424 as he walkedG4043, and saith, BeholdG2396, the LambG286 of GodG2316! 37And the twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 him speakG2980, and they followedG190 JesusG2424. 38And JesusG2424 turnedG4762, and beheld them followingG190, and saith unto them, What seekG2212 ye? And they saidG3004 unto him, RabbiG4461 (which is to sayG3004, being interpreted, TeacherG1320), whereG4226 abidest thou? 39He saith unto them, ComeG2064, and ye shall seeG3708. They cameG2064 thereforeG3767 and sawG3708 whereG4226 he abode; and they abode with him that dayG2250: it wasG1510 about the tenthG1182 hourG5610. 40OneG1520 of the twoG1417 that heardG191 JohnG2491 speakG3004, and followedG190 him, wasG1510 AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter’s brotherG80. 41He findeth firstG4413 his ownG2398 brotherG80 SimonG4613, and saith unto him, We have foundG2147 the Messiah (which isG1510, beingG1510 interpreted, ChristG5547). 42He broughtG71 him unto JesusG2424. JesusG2424 lookedG1689 upon him, and saidG3004, Thou art SimonG4613 the sonG5207 of JohnG2491G2495: thou shalt beG1510 calledG2564 CephasG2786 (which isG1510 by interpretation, PeterG4074).

43On the morrow he wasG1510 minded to goG1831 forthG1831 into GalileeG1056, and he findeth PhilipG5376: and JesusG2424 saith unto him, FollowG190 me. 44NowG1161 PhilipG5376 wasG1510 from BethsaidaG966, of the cityG4172 of AndrewG406 and PeterG4074. 45PhilipG5376 findeth NathanaelG3482, and saith unto him, We have foundG2147 him, of whom MosesG3475 in the lawG3551, and the prophetsG4396, wroteG1125, JesusG2424 of NazarethG3478, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501. 46And NathanaelG3482 saidG3004 unto him, Can any goodG18 thingG18 comeG2064 out of NazarethG3478? PhilipG5376 saith unto him, ComeG2064 and seeG3708. 47JesusG2424 sawG3708 NathanaelG3482 comingG2064 to him, and saith of him, BeholdG2396, an IsraeliteG2475 indeed, in whom isG1510 no guile! 48NathanaelG3482 saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Before PhilipG5376 called thee, when thou wast under the figG4808 treeG4808, I sawG3708 thee. 49NathanaelG3482 answeredG611 him, RabbiG4461, thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316; thou art KingG935 of IsraelG2474. 50JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Because I saidG3004 unto thee, I sawG3708 thee underneath the figG4808 treeG4808, believest thou? thou shalt seeG3708 greaterG3173 things than these. 51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, Ye shall seeG3708 the heavenG3772 openedG455, and the angelsG32 of GodG2316 ascendingG305 and descendingG2597 upon the SonG5207 of manG444.
