1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God.
|
1. In G1722 the beginning G746 was G2258 the G3588 Word G3056 , and G2532 the G3588 Word G3056 was G2258 with G4314 God G2316 , and G2532 the G3588 Word G3056 was G2258 God G2316 .
|
|
2. The Word was with God in the beginning.
|
2. The same G3778 was G2258 in G1722 the beginning G746 with G4314 God G2316 .
|
|
3. All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.
|
3. All things G3956 were made G1096 by G1223 him G846 ; and G2532 without G5565 him G846 was not G3761 any thing G1520 made G1096 that G3739 was made G1096 .
|
|
4. In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.
|
4. In G1722 him G846 was G2258 life G2222 ; and G2532 the G3588 life G2222 was G2258 the G3588 light G5457 of men G444 .
|
|
5. And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.
|
5. And G2532 the G3588 light G5457 shineth G5316 in G1722 darkness G4653 ; and G2532 the G3588 darkness G4653 comprehended G2638 it G846 not G3756 .
|
|
6. A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.
|
6. There was G1096 a man G444 sent G649 from G3844 God G2316 , whose G846 name G3686 was John G2491 .
|
|
7. He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him.
|
7. The same G3778 came G2064 for G1519 a witness G3141 , to G2443 bear witness G3140 of G4012 the G3588 Light G5457 , that G2443 all G3956 men through G1223 him G846 might believe G4100 .
|
|
8. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
|
8. He G1565 was G2258 not G3756 that Light G5457 , but G235 was sent to G2443 bear witness G3140 of G4012 that Light G5457 .
|
|
9. The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
|
9. That was G2258 the G3588 true G228 Light G5457 , which G3739 lighteth G5461 every G3956 man G444 that cometh G2064 into G1519 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
10. He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but the world did not recognize him.
|
10. He was G2258 in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 , and G2532 the G3588 world G2889 was made G1096 by G1223 him G846 , and G2532 the G3588 world G2889 knew G1097 him G846 not G3756 .
|
|
11. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.
|
11. He came G2064 unto G1519 his own G2398 , and G2532 his own G2398 received G3880 him G846 not G3756 .
|
|
12. But to all who have received him� those who believe in his name� he has given the right to become God's children
|
12. But G1161 as many as G3745 received G2983 him G846 , to them G846 gave G1325 he power G1849 to become G1096 the sons G5043 of God G2316 , even to them that believe G4100 on G1519 his G846 name G3686 :
|
|
13. � children not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband's decision, but by God.
|
13. Which G3739 were born G1080 , not G3756 of G1537 blood G129 , nor G3761 of G1537 the will G2307 of the flesh G4561 , nor G3761 of G1537 the will G2307 of man G435 , but G235 of G1537 God G2316 .
|
|
14. Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory� the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.
|
14. And G2532 the G3588 Word G3056 was made G1096 flesh G4561 , and G2532 dwelt G4637 among G1722 us G2254 , ( and G2532 we beheld G2300 his G846 glory G1391 , the glory G1391 as G5613 of the only begotten G3439 of G3844 the Father G3962 ,) full G4134 of grace G5485 and G2532 truth G225 .
|
|
15. John testified about him and shouted out, "This one was the one about whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'"
|
15. John G2491 bare witness G3140 of G4012 him G846 , and G2532 cried G2896 , saying G3004 , This G3778 was G2258 he of whom G3739 I spake G2036 , He that cometh G2064 after G3694 me G3450 is preferred G1096 before G1715 me G3450 : for he G3754 was G2258 before G4413 me G3450 .
|
|
16. For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.
|
16. And G2532 of G1537 his G846 fullness G4138 have all G3956 we G2249 received G2983 , and G2532 grace G5485 for G473 grace G5485 .
|
|
17. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
|
17. For G3754 the G3588 law G3551 was given G1325 by G1223 Moses G3475 , but grace G5485 and G2532 truth G225 came G1096 by G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
18. No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.
|
18. No man G3762 hath seen G3708 God G2316 at any time G4455 ; the G3588 only begotten G3439 Son G5207 , which is G5607 in G1519 the G3588 bosom G2859 of the G3588 Father G3962 , he G1565 hath declared G1834 him.
|
|
19. Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
|
19. And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 record G3141 of John G2491 , when G3753 the G3588 Jews G2453 sent G649 priests G2409 and G2532 Levites G3019 from G1537 Jerusalem G2414 to G2443 ask G2065 him G846 , Who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 ?
|
|
20. He confessed� he did not deny but confessed� "I am not the Christ!"
|
20. And G2532 he confessed G3670 , and G2532 denied G720 not G3756 ; but G2532 confessed G3670 , I G1473 am G1510 not G3756 the G3588 Christ G5547 .
|
|
21. So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No!"
|
21. And G2532 they asked G2065 him G846 , What G5101 then G3767 ? Art G1488 thou G4771 Elijah G2243 ? And G2532 he saith G3004 , I am G1510 not G3756 . Art G1488 thou G4771 that Prophet G4396 ? And G2532 he answered G611 , No G3756 .
|
|
22. Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us so that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
|
22. Then G3767 said G2036 they unto him G846 , Who G5101 art G1488 thou? that G2443 we may give G1325 an answer G612 to them that sent G3992 us G2248 . What G5101 sayest G3004 thou of G4012 thyself G4572 ?
|
|
23. John said, "I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
|
23. He said G5346 , I G1473 am the voice G5456 of one crying G994 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 , Make straight G2116 the G3588 way G3598 of the Lord G2962 , as G2531 said G2036 the G3588 prophet G4396 Isaiah G2268 .
|
|
24. (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
|
24. And G2532 they which were sent G649 were G2258 of G1537 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 .
|
|
25. So they asked John, "Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
|
25. And G2532 they asked G2065 him G846 , and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Why G5101 baptizest G907 thou then G3767 , if G1487 thou G4771 be G1488 not G3756 that Christ G5547 , nor G3777 Elijah G2243 , neither G3777 that prophet G4396 ?
|
|
26. John answered them, "I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,
|
26. John G2491 answered G611 them G846 , saying G3004 , I G1473 baptize G907 with G1722 water G5204 : but G1161 there standeth G2476 one among G3319 you G5216 , whom G3739 ye G5210 know G1492 not G3756 ;
|
|
27. who is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!"
|
27. He G846 it is G2076 , who coming G2064 after G3694 me G3450 is preferred G1096 before G1715 me G3450 , whose G3739 shoe G5266 's latchet G2438 I G1473 am G1510 not G3756 worthy G514 to G2443 unloose G3089 G846 .
|
|
28. These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing.
|
28. These things G5023 were done G1096 in G1722 Bethabara G962 beyond G4008 Jordan G2446 , where G3699 John G2491 was G2258 baptizing G907 .
|
|
29. On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
|
29. The G3588 next day G1887 John G2491 seeth G991 Jesus G2424 coming G2064 unto G4314 him G846 , and G2532 saith G3004 , Behold G2396 the G3588 Lamb G286 of God G2316 , which taketh away G142 the G3588 sin G266 of the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
30. This is the one about whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'
|
30. This G3778 is G2076 he of G4012 whom G3739 I G1473 said G2036 , After G3694 me G3450 cometh G2064 a man G435 which G3739 is preferred G1096 before G1715 me G3450 : for G3754 he was G2258 before G4413 me G3450 .
|
|
31. I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel."
|
31. And I G2504 knew G1492 him G846 not G3756 : but G235 that G2443 he should be made manifest G5319 to Israel G2474 , therefore G1223 G5124 am I G1473 come G2064 baptizing G907 with G1722 water G5204 .
|
|
32. Then John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.
|
32. And G2532 John G2491 bare record G3140 , saying G3004 , I saw G2300 the G3588 Spirit G4151 descending G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 like G5616 a dove G4058 , and G2532 it abode G3306 upon G1909 him G846 .
|
|
33. And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining� this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'
|
33. And I G2504 knew G1492 him G846 not G3756 : but G235 he that sent G3992 me G3165 to baptize G907 with G1722 water G5204 , the same G1565 said G2036 unto me G3427 , Upon G1909 whom G3739 G302 thou shalt see G1492 the G3588 Spirit G4151 descending G2597 , and G2532 remaining G3306 on G1909 him G846 , the same G3778 is G2076 he which baptizeth G907 with G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .
|
|
34. I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God."
|
34. And I G2504 saw G3708 , and G2532 bare record G3140 that G3754 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 .
|
|
35. Again the next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
|
35. Again G3825 the G3588 next day after G1887 John G2491 stood G2476 , and G2532 two G1417 of G1537 his G846 disciples G3101 ;
|
|
36. Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
|
36. And G2532 looking upon G1689 Jesus G2424 as he walked G4043 , he saith G3004 , Behold G2396 the G3588 Lamb G286 of God G2316 !
|
|
37. When John's two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
|
37. And G2532 the G3588 two G1417 disciples G3101 heard G191 him G846 speak G2980 , and G2532 they followed G190 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
38. Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, "What do you want?" So they said to him, "Rabbi" (which is translated Teacher), "where are you staying?"
|
38. Then G1161 Jesus G2424 turned G4762 , and G2532 saw G2300 them G846 following G190 , and saith G3004 unto them G846 , What G5101 seek G2212 ye G1161 ? They said G2036 unto him G846 , Rabbi G4461 , ( which G3739 is to say G3004 , being interpreted G2059 , Master G1320 ,) where G4226 dwellest G3306 thou?
|
|
39. Jesus answered, "Come and you will see." So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
|
39. He saith G3004 unto them G846 , Come G2064 and G2532 see G1492 . They came G2064 and G2532 saw G1492 where G4226 he dwelt G3306 , and G2532 abode G3306 with G3844 him G846 that G1565 day G2250 : for G1161 it was G2258 about G5613 the tenth G1182 hour G5610 .
|
|
40. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus.
|
40. One G1520 of G1537 the G3588 two G1417 which heard G191 John G2491 speak, and G2532 followed G190 him G846 , was G2258 Andrew G406 , Simon G4613 Peter G4074 's brother G80 .
|
|
41. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is translated Christ).
|
41. He G3778 first G4413 findeth G2147 his own G2398 brother G80 Simon G4613 , and G2532 saith G3004 unto him G846 , We have found G2147 the G3588 Messiah G3323 , which is G3603 , being interpreted G3177 , the G3588 Christ G5547 .
|
|
42. Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
|
42. And G2532 he brought G71 him G846 to G4314 Jesus G2424 . And G1161 when Jesus G2424 beheld G1689 him G846 , he said G2036 , Thou G4771 art G1488 Simon G4613 the G3588 son G5207 of Jona G2495 : thou G4771 shalt be called G2564 Cephas G2786 , which G3739 is by interpretation G2059 , A stone G4074 .
|
|
43. On the next day Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
|
43. The G3588 day following G1887 Jesus G2424 would G2309 go forth G1831 into G1519 Galilee G1056 , and G2532 findeth G2147 Philip G5376 , and G2532 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Follow G190 me G3427 .
|
|
44. (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)
|
44. Now G1161 Philip G5376 was G2258 of G575 Bethsaida G966 , the G3588 city G4172 of Andrew G406 and G2532 Peter G4074 .
|
|
45. Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about� Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
|
45. Philip G5376 findeth G2147 Nathanael G3482 , and G2532 saith G3004 unto him G846 , We have found G2147 him , of whom G3739 Moses G3475 in G1722 the G3588 law G3551 , and G2532 the G3588 prophets G4396 , did write G1125 , Jesus G2424 of G575 Nazareth G3478 , the G3588 son G5207 of Joseph G2501 .
|
|
46. Nathanael replied, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip replied, "Come and see."
|
46. And G2532 Nathanael G3482 said G2036 unto him G846 , Can G1410 there any G5100 good thing G18 come G1511 out of G1537 Nazareth G3478 ? Philip G5376 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Come G2064 and G2532 see G1492 .
|
|
47. Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!"
|
47. Jesus G2424 saw G1492 Nathanael G3482 coming G2064 to G4314 him G846 , and G2532 saith G3004 of G4012 him G846 , Behold G2396 an Israelite G2475 indeed G230 , in G1722 whom G3739 is G2076 no G3756 guile G1388 !
|
|
48. Nathanael asked him, "How do you know me?" Jesus replied, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
|
48. Nathanael G3482 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Whence G4159 knowest G1097 thou me G3165 ? Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Before G4253 that Philip G5376 called G5455 thee G4571 , when thou wast G5607 under G5259 the G3588 fig tree G4808 , I saw G1492 thee G4571 .
|
|
49. Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!"
|
49. Nathanael G3482 answered G611 and G2532 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Rabbi G4461 , thou G4771 art G1488 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 ; thou G4771 art G1488 the G3588 King G935 of Israel G2474 .
|
|
50. Jesus said to him, "Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
|
50. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Because G3754 I said G2036 unto thee G4671 , I saw G1492 thee G4571 under G5270 the G3588 fig tree G4808 , believest G4100 thou? thou shalt see G3700 greater things G3187 than these G5130 .
|
|
51. He continued, "I tell all of you the solemn truth� you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
|
51. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto him G846 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Hereafter G575 G737 ye shall see G3700 heaven G3772 open G455 , and G2532 the G3588 angels G32 of God G2316 ascending G305 and G2532 descending G2597 upon G1909 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 .
