* In the beginning was the Word , (o . logos ) and the Word (o . logos ) was with God , and the Word (o . logos ) was God . * The same was in the beginning with God . * All things were made by him ; and without him was not any thing made that was made . * In him was life ; and the life was the light of men . * And the light shines in darkness ; and the darkness comprehended it not . * There was a man sent from God , whose name was John . * The same came for a witness , to bear witness of the Light , that all men through him might believe . * He was not that Light , but was sent to bear witness of that Light . * That was the true Light , which lights every man that comes into the world . * He was in the world , and the world was made by him , and the world knew him not . * He came unto his own , and his own received him not . * 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 : * Which were born , not of blood , nor of the will of the flesh , nor of the will of man , but of God . * And the Word (o . logos ) 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 . * John bare witness of him , and cried , saying , This was he of whom I spoke , He that comes after me is preferred before me : for he was before me . * And of his fullness have all we received , and grace for grace . * For the law was given by Moses , but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ . * No man has seen God at any time , the only begotten Son , which is in the bosom of the Father , he has declared him . * And this is the record of John , when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him , Who are you ? * And he confessed , and denied not ; but confessed , I am not the Christ . * And they asked him , What then ? Are you Elijah ? And he says , I am not . Are you that prophet ? And he answered , No . * Then said they unto him , Who are you ? that we may give an answer to them that sent us . What says you of yourself ? * He said , I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness , Make straight the way of the Lord , as said the prophet Isaiah . * And they which were sent were of the Pharisees . * And they asked him , and said unto him , Why baptize you then , if you be not that Christ , nor Elijah , neither that prophet ? * John answered them , saying , I baptize with water : but there stands one among you , whom all of you know not ; * He it is , who coming after me is preferred before me , whose shoe 's latchet I am not worthy to unloose . * These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan , where John was baptizing . * The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him , and says , Behold the Lamb of God , which takes away the sin of the world . * This is he of whom I said , After me comes a man which is preferred before me : for he was before me . * And I knew him not : but that he should be made manifest to Israel , therefore am I come baptizing with water . * And John bare record , saying , I saw the Spirit (o . pneuma ) descending from heaven like a dove , and it abode upon him . * And I knew him not : but he that sent me to baptize with water , the same said unto me , Upon whom you shall see the Spirit (o . pneuma ) descending , and remaining on him , the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Spirit . (o . pneuma ) * And I saw , and bare record that this is the Son of God . * Again the next day after John stood , and two of his disciples ; * And looking upon Jesus as he walked , he says , Behold the Lamb of God ! * And the two disciples heard him speak , and they followed Jesus . * Then Jesus turned , and saw them following , and says unto them , What seek all of you ? They said unto him , Rabbi , (which is to say , being interpreted , Master ,) where dwell you ? * He says 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 . * One of the two which heard John speak , and followed him , was Andrew , Simon Peter 's brother . * He first finds his own brother Simon , and says unto him , We have found the Messiah , which is , being interpreted , the Christ . * And he brought him to Jesus . And when Jesus beheld him , he said , You are Simon the son of Jona : you shall be called Cephas , which is by interpretation , A stone . * The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee , and finds Philip , and says unto him , Follow me . * Now Philip was of Bethsaida , the city of Andrew and Peter . * Philip finds Nathanael , and says unto him , We have found him , of whom Moses in the law , and the prophets , did write , Jesus of Nazareth , the son of Joseph . * And Nathanael said unto him , Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth ? Philip says unto him , Come and see . * Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him , and says of him , Behold an Israelite indeed , in whom is no guile ! * Nathanael says unto him , Whence know you me ? Jesus answered and said unto him , Before that Philip called you , when you were under the fig tree , I saw you . * Nathanael answered and says unto him , Rabbi , you are the Son of God ; you are the King of Israel . * Jesus answered and said unto him , Because I said unto you , I saw you under the fig tree , believe you ? you shall see greater things than these . * And he says unto him , Verily , verily , I say unto you , Hereafter all of you shall see heaven open , and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man .
