John - Chapter: 1
1:1 | In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
1:2 | The same was in the beginning with God. |
1:3 | All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
1:4 | In him was life; and the life was the light of men. |
1:5 | And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. |
1:6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. |
1:7 | The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. |
1:8 | He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. |
1:9 | That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. |
1:10 | He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. |
1:11 | He came unto his own, and his own received him not. |
1:12 | But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: |
1:13 | Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
1:14 | And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. |
1:15 | John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. |
1:16 | And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. |
1:17 | For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. |
1:18 | No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. |
1:19 | And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? |
1:20 | And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. |
1:21 | And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. |
1:22 | Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? |
1:23 | He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. |
1:24 | And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. |
1:25 | And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? |
1:26 | John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; |
1:27 | He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. |
1:28 | These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
1:29 | The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. |
1:30 | This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. |
1:31 | And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. |
1:32 | And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. |
1:33 | And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. |
1:34 | And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. |
1:35 | Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; |
1:36 | And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! |
1:37 | And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. |
1:38 | Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? |
1:39 | He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. |
1:40 | One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. |
1:41 | He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. |
1:42 | And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. |
1:43 | The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. |
1:44 | Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. |
1:45 | Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. |
1:46 | And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. |
1:47 | Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! |
1:48 | Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. |
1:49 | Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. |
1:50 | Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. |
1:51 | And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. |
1:1 | In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. |
1:2 | This same was in the beginning with God. |
1:3 | All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. |
1:4 | In it was life, and that life was the light of men. |
1:5 | And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not. |
1:6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn. |
1:7 | This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue. |
1:8 | He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light. |
1:9 | This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world. |
1:10 | He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not. |
1:11 | He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not. |
1:12 | But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name. |
1:13 | Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God. |
1:14 | And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth. |
1:15 | Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I. |
1:16 | And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace. |
1:17 | For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ. |
1:18 | No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him. |
1:19 | Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou? |
1:20 | And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ. |
1:21 | And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No. |
1:22 | Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe? |
1:23 | He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias. |
1:24 | Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises. |
1:25 | And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet? |
1:26 | Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not. |
1:27 | He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose. |
1:28 | These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize. |
1:29 | The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of god, which taketh away the sinne of the world. |
1:30 | This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I. |
1:31 | And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water. |
1:32 | So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him, |
1:33 | And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost. |
1:34 | And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God. |
1:35 | The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples. |
1:36 | And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God. |
1:37 | And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus. |
1:38 | Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou? |
1:39 | He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre. |
1:40 | Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him. |
1:41 | The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ. |
1:42 | And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone. |
1:43 | The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me. |
1:44 | Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter. |
1:45 | Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth. |
1:46 | Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see. |
1:47 | Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile. |
1:48 | Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee. |
1:49 | Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel. |
1:50 | Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these. |
1:51 | And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man. |
1:1 | In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God. |
1:2 | The same was in the beginnynge with God. |
1:3 | All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made. |
1:4 | In it was lyfe and the lyfe was ye lyght of men |
1:5 | and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not. |
1:6 | There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn. |
1:7 | The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve. |
1:8 | He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght. |
1:9 | That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde. |
1:10 | He was in ye worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not. |
1:11 | He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not. |
1:12 | But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in yt they beleved on his name: |
1:13 | which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God. |
1:14 | And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs and we sawe the glory of it as the glory of the only begotten sonne of ye father which worde was full of grace and verite. |
1:15 | Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake he that cometh after me was before me because he was yer then I. |
1:16 | And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace. |
1:17 | For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ. |
1:18 | No ma hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in ye bosome of ye father he hath declared him. |
1:19 | And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou? |
1:20 | And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ. |
1:21 | And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no. |
1:22 | Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe? |
1:23 | He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias. |
1:24 | And they which were sent were of the pharises. |
1:25 | And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet? |
1:26 | Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not |
1:27 | he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. |
1:28 | These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse. |
1:29 | The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. |
1:30 | This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I |
1:31 | and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water. |
1:32 | And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him |
1:33 | and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost. |
1:34 | And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God. |
1:35 | The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples. |
1:36 | And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God. |
1:37 | And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus. |
1:38 | And Iesus turned about and sawe them folowe and sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion Master) where dwellest thou? |
1:39 | He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: and abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre. |
1:40 | One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother. |
1:41 | The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted: |
1:42 | and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone. |
1:43 | The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me. |
1:44 | Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter. |
1:45 | And Philip founde Nathanael and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe and the prophetes dyd wryte. Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. |
1:46 | And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se. |
1:47 | Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle. |
1:48 | Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder ye fygge tree I sawe the. |
1:49 | Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel. |
1:50 | Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the I sawe the vnder the fygge tree thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these. |
1:51 | And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man. |
