The Word and Creation

1In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.G1722G746G2258G3056G2532G3056G2258G4314G2316G2532G3056G2258G2316
2He existed in the beginning with God.G3778G2258G1722G746G4314G2316
3Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.G3956G1096G1223G846G2532G5565G846G1096G3761G1520G1096G3739G1096
4In him was life, and that life brought light to humanity.G1722G846G2258G2222G2532G2222G2258G5457G444
5And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.G2532G5457G5316G1722G4653G2532G4653G2638G846G3756

John’s Witness to the Word

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.G1096G444G649G3844G2316G846G3686G2491
7He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe because of him.G3778G2064G1519G3141G2443G3140G4012G5457G2443G3956G1223G846G4100
8John was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.G2258G3756G1565G5457G235G2443G3140G4012G5457
9This was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world.G2258G228G5457G3739G5461G3956G444G2064G1519G2889
10He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.G2258G1722G2889G2532G2889G1096G1223G846G2532G2889G1097G846G3756

Responses to the Word

11He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him.G2064G1519G2398G2532G2398G3880G846G3756
12However, to all who received him, those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God's children,G1161G3745G2983G846G846G1325G1849G1096G5043G2316G4100G1519G846G3686
13who were born, not merely in a genetic sense, nor from lust, nor from man's desire, but from the will of God.G3739G1080G3756G1537G129G3761G1537G2307G4561G3761G1537G2307G435G235G1537G2316

The Word Becomes Human

14The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, who is full of grace and truth.G2532G3056G1096G4561G2532G4637G1722G2254G2532G2300G846G1391G1391G5613G3439G3844G3962G4134G5485G2532G225
15John told the truth about him when he cried out, "This is the person about whom I said, 'The one who comes after me ranks higher than me, because he existed before me.'"G2491G3140G4012G846G2532G2896G3004G3778G2258G3739G2036G2064G3694G3450G1096G1715G3450G3754G2258G4413G3450
16We have all received one gracious gift after another from his abundance,G2532G1537G846G4138G2983G3956G2249G2983G2532G5485G473G5485
17because while the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus the Messiah.G3754G3551G1325G1223G3475G5485G2532G225G1096G1223G2424G5547
18No one has ever seen God. The unique God, who is close to the Father's side, has revealed him.G3762G3708G2316G4455G3439G5207G3588G5607G1519G2859G3962G1565G1834

The Testimony of John the Baptist

19This was John's testimony when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"G2532G3778G2076G3141G2491G3753G2453G649G2409G2532G3019G1537G2414G2443G2065G846G5101G1488G4771
20He spoke openly and, remaining true to himself, admitted, "I am not the Messiah."G2532G3670G2532G720G3756G2532G3670G3754G1473G1510G3756G5547
21So they asked him, "Well then, are you Elijah?" John said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."G2532G2065G846G5101G3767G1488G4771G2243G2532G3004G1510G3756G1488G4771G4396G2532G611G3756
22"Who are you?" they asked him. "We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"G3767G2036G846G5101G1488G2443G1325G612G3992G2248G5101G3004G4012G4572
23He replied, "I am '…a voice crying out in the wilderness, "Prepare the Lord's highway,"' as the prophet Isaiah said."G5346G1473G5456G994G1722G2048G2116G3598G2962G2531G2036G4396G2268
24Now those men had been sent from the Pharisees.G2532G3588G649G2258G1537G5330
25They asked him, "Why, then, are you baptizing if you are not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?"G2532G2065G846G2532G2036G846G5101G907G3767G1487G4771G1488G3756G5547G3777G2243G3777G4396
26John answered them, "I am baptizing with water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,G2491G611G846G3004G1473G907G1722G5204G1161G2476G3319G5216G3739G5210G1492G3756
27the one who is coming after me, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie."G846G2076G3739G2064G3694G3450G1096G1715G3450G3739G846G5266G2438G1473G1510G3756G514G2443G3089
28This happened in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.G5023G1096G1722G962G4008G2446G3699G2491G2258G907
29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!G1887G2491G991G2424G2064G4314G846G2532G3004G2396G286G2316G3588G142G266G2889
30This is the one about whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks above me, because he existed before me.'G3778G2076G4012G3739G1473G2036G3694G3450G2064G435G3739G1096G1715G3450G3754G2258G4413G3450
31I didn't recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel."G2504G1492G846G3756G235G2443G5319G2474G1223G5124G2064G1473G2064G907G1722G5204
32John also testified, "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.G2532G2491G3140G3004G3754G2300G4151G2597G1537G3772G5616G4058G2532G3306G1909G846
33I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The person on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'G2504G1492G846G3756G235G3992G3165G907G1722G5204G1565G2036G3427G1909G3739G302G1492G4151G2597G2532G3306G1909G846G3778G2076G907G1722G40G4151
34I have seen this and have testified that this is the Son of God."G2504G3708G2532G3140G3754G3778G2076G5207G2316

The First Disciples

35The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples.G3825G1887G2491G2476G2532G1417G1537G846G3101
36As he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"G2532G1689G2424G4043G3004G2396G286G2316
37When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.G2532G1417G3101G191G846G2980G2532G190G2424
38But when Jesus turned around and saw them following, he asked them, "What are you looking for?" They asked him, "Rabbi," (which is translated "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"G1161G2424G4762G2532G2300G846G190G3004G846G5101G2212G1161G2036G846G4461G3739G3004G2059G1320G4226G3306
39He told them, "Come and see!" So they went and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.G3004G846G2064G2532G1492G2064G2532G1492G4226G3306G2532G3306G3844G846G1565G2250G1161G2258G5613G1182G5610
40Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.G1520G1537G1417G3588G191G3844G2491G2532G190G846G2258G406G4613G4074G80
41The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is translated "Christ").G3778G4413G2147G2398G80G4613G2532G3004G846G2147G3323G3739G2076G3177G5547
42He led Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him intently and said, "You are Simon, John's son. You will be called Cephas!" (which is translated "Peter").G2532G71G846G4314G2424G1161G2424G1689G846G2036G4771G1488G4613G5207G2495G4771G2564G2786G3739G2059G4074

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathaniel

43The next day Jesus decided to go away to Galilee, where he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."G1887G2424G2309G1831G1519G1056G2532G2147G5376G2532G3004G846G190G3427
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.1G1161G5376G2258G575G966G4172G1537G406G2532G4074
45Philip found Nathaniel and told him, "We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote - Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."G5376G2147G3482G2532G3004G846G2147G3739G3475G1722G3551G2532G4396G1125G2424G575G3478G5207G2501
46Nathaniel asked him, "Out of Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?" Philip told him, "Come and see!"G2532G3482G2036G846G1410G5100G18G1511G1537G3478G5376G3004G846G2064G2532G1492
47Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said about him, "Look, a genuine Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!"G2424G1492G3482G2064G4314G846G2532G3004G4012G846G2396G2475G230G1722G3739G2076G3756G1388
48Nathaniel asked him, "How do you know me?"Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you."G3482G3004G846G4159G1097G3165G2424G611G2532G2036G846G4253G5376G5455G4571G5607G5259G4808G1492G4571
49Nathaniel replied to him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"G3482G611G2532G3004G846G4461G4771G1488G5207G2316G4771G1488G935G2474
50Jesus said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3754G2036G4671G1492G4571G5270G4808G4100G3700G3187G5130
51Then he said to him, "Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, you will see heaven standing open and the angels of God going up and coming down to the Son of Man."G2532G3004G846G281G281G3004G5213G737G575G3700G3772G455G2532G32G2316G305G2532G2597G1909G5207G444
