John 1
NASB
John 1:1
&
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:3
&
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
John 1:4
&
In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
John 1:5
&
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not (Or {overpower}) comprehend it.
John 1:6
&
There (Or {came into being}) came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7
&
He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
John 1:8
&
He was not the Light, but {he came} to testify about the Light.
John 1:9
&
There was the true Light (Or {which enlightens every person coming into the world}) which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
John 1:10
&
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
John 1:11
&
He came to His (Or {own things, possessions, domain}) own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
John 1:12
&
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, {even} to those who believe in His name,
John 1:13
&
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14
&
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:15
&
John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, `He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me."'
John 1:16
&
For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
John 1:17
&
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
John 1:18
&
No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained {Him.}
John 1:19
&
This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
John 1:20
&
And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."
John 1:21
&
They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he *said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
John 1:22
&
Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"
John 1:23
&
He said, "I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, `MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
John 1:24
&
Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.
John 1:25
&
They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
John 1:26
&
John answered them saying, "I baptize (The Gr here can be translated {in, with} or {by}) in water, {but} among you stands One whom you do not know.
John 1:27
&
~"{It is} He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
John 1:29
&
The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:30
&
~"This is He on behalf of whom I said, `After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'
John 1:31
&
~"I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing (The Gr here can be translated {in, with} or {by}) in water."
John 1:32
&
John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.
John 1:33
&
~"I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize (The Gr here can be translated {in}, {with} or {by}) in water said to me, `He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
John 1:34
&
~"I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
John 1:35
&
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
John 1:36
&
and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
John 1:37
&
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
John 1:38
&
And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?"
John 1:39
&
He *said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the (Perhaps 10 a.m. (Roman time)) tenth hour.
John 1:40
&
One of the two who heard John {speak} and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
John 1:41
&
He *found first his own brother Simon and *said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).
John 1:42
&
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
John 1:43
&
The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He *found Philip. And Jesus *said to him, "Follow Me."
John 1:45
&
Philip *found Nathanael and *said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and {also} the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
John 1:46
&
Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip *said to him, "Come and see."
John 1:47
&
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"
John 1:48
&
Nathanael *said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
John 1:50
&
Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
