Chapter 1 Chapter 2

CHAPTER 1

1
In
the beginning
was
the
Word,
and
the
Word
was
with
God,
and
the
Word
was
divine.
2
He
was
with
God
in
the beginning.
3
Through
Him
all things
were made,
and
without
Him
nothing
was made
that
has been made.
4
In
Him
was
life,
and
that
life
was
the
light
of men.
5
The
Light
shines
in
the
darkness,
and
the
darkness
has not
overcome
it.
6
There came
a man
who was sent
from
God.
His
name
was John.
7
He
came
as
a witness
to
testify
about
the
Light,
so that
through
him
everyone
might believe.
8
He himself
was
not
the
Light,
but
he came to testify
about
the
Light.
9
The
TRUE
Light
who
gives light to
every
man
was
coming
into
the
world.
10
He was
in
the
world,
and though
the
world
was made
through
Him,
the
world
did not
recognize
Him.
11
He came
to
His
own,
and
His
own
did not
receive
Him.
12
But
to
all who
did receive
Him,
to those
who believed
in
His
name,
He gave
the right
to become
children
of God—
13
children
born
not
of
blood,
nor
of
the desire
or
will
of man,
but born
of
God.
14
The
Word
became
flesh
and
made His dwelling
among
us.
We have seen
His
glory,
the glory
of
the one and only Son
from
the Father,
full
of grace
and
truth.
15
John
testified
concerning
Him.
He cried out,
saying,
“This
is He
of whom
I said,
‘He who
comes
after
me
has
surpassed
me
because
He was
before
me.'"
16
From
His
fullness
we
have all
received
grace
upon
grace.
17
For
the
Law
was given
through
Moses;
grace
and
truth
came
through
Jesus
Christ.
18
No one
has ever seen
God,
but the one and only Son,
who is Himself God
and
is
at
the
Father’s
side,
has made Him known.
19
And
this
was
John’s
testimony
when
the
Jews
of
Jerusalem
sent
priests
and
Levites
to
ask
him,
“Who
are
you?”
20
He did not refuse to confess,
but
openly declared,
“I
am
not
the
Christ.”
21
“Then
who are you?”
they inquired.
“Are
you
Elijah?”
He said,
“I am
not.”
“Are
you
the
Prophet?”
He answered,
“No.”
22
So
they said
to him,
“Who
are you?
We need
an answer
for those
who sent
us.
What
do you say
about
yourself?”
23
John replied
in
the words of
Isaiah
the
prophet:
“I am
the voice
of one calling
in
the
wilderness,
‘Make straight
the
way
for the Lord.’”
24
Then
the
Pharisees
who had been sent
25
asked
him,
“Why
then
do you baptize,
if
you
are
not
the
Christ,
nor
Elijah,
nor
the
Prophet?”
26
“I
baptize
with
water,”
John
replied,
“but among
you
stands
One
you
do not
know.
27
He is the One who
comes
after
me,
the
straps
of whose
sandals
I
am
not
worthy
to
untie.”
28
All this
happened
at
Bethany
beyond
the
Jordan,
where
John
was
baptizing.
29
The
next day
John saw
Jesus
coming
toward
him
and
said,
“Look,
the
Lamb
of God,
who
takes away
the
sin
of the
world!
30
This is
He
of
whom
I
said,
‘A man
who comes
after
me
has
surpassed
me
because
He was
before
me.’
31
I myself
did not
know
Him,
but
the reason
I
came
baptizing
with
water
was that
He might be revealed
to Israel.”
32
Then
John
testified,
“I saw
the
Spirit
descending
from
heaven
like
a dove
and
resting
on
Him.
33
I myself
did not
know
Him,
but
the One who
sent
me
to baptize
with
water
told
me,
‘The man on
whom
you see
the
Spirit
descend
and
rest
is
He
who will baptize
with
the Holy
Spirit.'
34
I
have seen
and
testified
that
this
is
the
Son
of God.”
35
The
next day
John
was there
again
with
two
of
his
disciples.
36
When
he saw
Jesus
walking by,
he said,
“Look,
the
Lamb
of God!”
37
And when
the
two
disciples
heard
him
say this,
they followed
Jesus.
38
Jesus
turned
and
saw
them
following.
“What
do you want?”
He asked.
They said
to Him,
“Rabbi”
(which
means
Teacher),
“where
are You staying?”
39
“Come
and
see,”
He replied.
So
they went
and
saw
where
He was staying,
and
spent
that
day
with
Him.
It was
about
the tenth
hour.
40
Andrew,
Simon
Peter’s
brother,
was
one
of
the
two
who
heard
John’s testimony
and
followed
Jesus.
41
He
first
found
his
brother
Simon
and
told
him,
“We have found
the
Messiah”
(which
is
translated as
Christ).
42
Andrew brought
him
to
Jesus,
who
looked at
him
and said,
“You
are
Simon
son
of John.
You
will be called
Cephas”
(which
is translated as
Peter).
43
The
next day
Jesus decided
to set out
for
Galilee.
Finding
Philip,
He
told
him,
“Follow
Me.”
44
Now
Philip
was
from
Bethsaida,
the
same town
as Andrew
and
Peter.
45
Philip
found
Nathanael
and
told
him,
“We have found
the One
Moses
wrote about
in
the
Law,
the One
the
prophets foretold—
Jesus
of
Nazareth,
the son
of Joseph."
46
“Can
anything good
come
from
Nazareth?”
Nathanael
asked.
“Come
and
see,”
said
Philip.
47
When Jesus
saw
Nathanael
approaching,
He said
of
him,
“Here
is a true
Israelite,
in
whom
there is
no
deceit.”
48
“How
do You know
me?”
Nathanael
asked.
Jesus
replied,
“Before
Philip
called
you,
I saw
you
under
the
fig tree.”
49
“Rabbi,”
Nathanael
answered,
“You
are
the
Son
of God!
You
are
the King
of Israel!”
50
Jesus
said
to him,
“Do you believe
just because
I told
you
I saw
you
under
the
fig tree?
You will see
greater things
than these.”
51
Then
He declared,
“Truly,
truly,
I tell
you,
you will see
heaven
open
and
the
angels
of God
ascending
and
descending
on
the
Son
of Man.”
