'In1the beginning2was3the4Word,5and6the7Word8was9with10God,12and13the16Word17was15God.14 He1was2in3the beginning4with5God.7 All things1were made4through2him,3and5without6him7was8not9any thing10made12that11was made.12 In1him2was4life,3and5the6life7was8the9light10of men.12 The2light3shines7in4the5darkness,6and8the9darkness10has13not12overcome13it.11 There was1a man2sent3from4God,5whose7name6wasJohn.8 He1came2as3a witness,4to bear witness56about7the8light,9that10all11might believe12through13him.14 He3was2not1the4light,5but6cameto bear witness78about9the10light.11 The2true5light,3which6gives light7to everyone,89was coming10into11the12world.13 He was4in1the2world,3and5the6world7was made10through8him,9yet11the12world13did16not15know16him.14 He came4to1his own,3and5his own [people]67did10not9receive10him.8 But2toall1who did receive3him,4who believed12in13his16name,15he gave5the right7to become10children8of God,9 who1were born,16not2of3blood4nor5of6the will7of the flesh8nor9of10the will11of man,12but13of14God.15 And1the2Word3became5flesh4and6dwelt7among8us,9and10we have seen11his14glory,13glory15as16of the only Son17from18the Father,19full20of grace21and22truth.23 ( John1bore witness2about3him,4and5cried out,6This8was he9of whom10I said,11He who comes15after13me14[ranks]18before16me,17because19he was22before20me. )21 For9from2his5fullness4we6have8all7received,8grace10upon11grace.12 For1the2law3was given6through4Moses;5grace8and9truth11came15through12Jesus13Christ.14 No one2has3ever4seen3God;1theonly5God,6who is8at9the12Father’s13side,11he14has made [him] known.15 And1this2is3the4testimony5of John,7when8the12Jews13sent9priests16and17Levites18from14Jerusalem15to ask1920him,21Who23are24you?22 He confessed,2and3did5not4deny,5but6confessed,7I9am11not10the12Christ.13 And1they asked2him,3What4then?5Are8you6Elijah?7He said,10I am12not.11Are15you16the13Prophet?14And17he answered,18No.19 So2they said to1him,3Who4are you?5We need to give8an answer7to those9who sent10us.11What12doyou say13about14yourself?15 He said,1I2amthe voice3of one crying out4in5the6wilderness,7Make straight8the9way10of the Lord,11as12the15prophet16Isaiah14said.13 ( Now1they had been sent2from4the5Pharisees.)6 They asked2him,3Then8why7are you baptizing,9if10you11are13neither12the14Christ,15nor16Elijah,17nor18the19Prophet?20 John4answered1them,2I6baptize7with8water,9butamong10you11stands12one13you14donot15know,16 evenhe1who comes4after2me,3the13strap14of16whose12sandal16I8am7not6worthy9to untie.1011 These things1took place4in2Bethany3across5the6Jordan,7where8John11was9baptizing.12 The1next day2he saw3Jesus5coming6toward7him,8and9said,10Behold,11the12Lamb13of God,15who takes away17the18sin19of the20world!21 This1is he2of3whom4I5said,6After7me8comes9a man10who11[ranks]14before12me,13because15he was18before16me.17 I1myselfdid3not2know3him,4but5for10this11purpose10I13came12baptizing16with14water,15that6he might be revealed7to Israel.89 And1John3bore witness:2I saw6the7Spirit8descend9from12heaven13like10a dove,11and14it remained15on16him.17 I1myselfdid3not2know3him,4but5he6who sent7me8to baptize9with10water11said14to me,13Heon15whom16you see18the19Spirit20descend21and22remain,23this26is27he28who baptizes29with30theHoly32Spirit.31 And I1have seen2and3have borne witness4that5this6is7the8Son9of God.11 The1next day2again3John6was standing4with7two12of8his11disciples,10 and1he looked at2Jesus4as he walked by5andsaid,6Behold,7the8Lamb9of God!11 The3two4disciples5heard2him6say7this,and8they followed9Jesus.11 Jesus4turned1and5saw6them7following8andsaid9to them,10"What11are you seeking?"12And2they said15to him,16Rabbi17( which18means19Teacher ),21where22are you staying?23 He said1to them,2"Come3and4you will see."5So7they came6and8saw9where10he was staying,11and12they stayed15with13him14that18day,17forit was20about21thetenth22hour.19 One7of8the9two10who heard12John14speakand15followed16[Jesus]17was1Andrew,2Simon5Peter’s6brother.4 He2first3found1his own7brother5Simon8and9said10to him,11We have found12the13Messiah14( which15means16Christ ).18 He brought1him2to3Jesus.5Jesus9looked6at him7andsaid,10"Soyou11are12Simon13the14son15of John?16You17shall be called18Cephas"19(which20means21Peter ).22 The1next day2Jesus15decided3to go4to5Galilee.7He found9Philip10and11said12to him,13"Follow16me."17 Now2Philip4was1from5Bethsaida,6the8city9of Andrew10and11Peter.12 Philip2found1Nathanael4and5said6to him,7We have found17him of whom8Moses10in11the12Law13and also14the15prophets16wrote,9Jesus18of23Nazareth,24the son19of Joseph.2021 Nathanael4said2to him,3Can7anything8good9come10out of5Nazareth?6Philip14said11to him,12Come15and16see.17 Jesus3saw1Nathanael5coming6toward7him8and9said10of11him,12"Behold,13an Israelite15indeed,14in16whom17there is20no19deceit!"18 Nathanael3said1to him,2How4doyou know6me?5Jesus8answered7him,11"Before12Philip15called16you,14when you were17under18the19fig tree,20I saw21you."22 Nathanael3answered1him,2Rabbi,4you5are6the7Son8of God!10You11are13the14King12of Israel!15 Jesus2answered1him,5"Because6I said7to you,8'I saw10you11under12the13fig tree,'14doyou believe?15You will see18greater [things] than16these."17 And1he said2to him,3"Truly, truly,45I say6to you,7you will see8heaven10opened,11and12the13angels14of God16ascending17and18descending19on20the21Son22of Man."24
