The Word of Life

1In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.G1722G746G2258G3056G2532G3056G2258G4314G2316G2532G3056G2258G2316
2From the very beginning the Word was with God.G3778G2258G1722G746G4314G2316
3Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.G3956G1096G1223G846G2532G5565G846G1096G3761G1520G1096G3739G1096
4The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people.G1722G846G2258G2222G2532G2222G2258G5457G444
5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.G2532G5457G5316G1722G4653G2532G4653G2638G846G3756
6God sent his messenger, a man named John,G1096G444G649G3844G2316G846G3686G2491
7who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe.G3778G2064G1519G3141G2443G3140G4012G5457G2443G3956G1223G846G4100
8He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light.G2258G3756G1565G5457G235G2443G3140G4012G5457
9This was the real light - -the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.G2258G228G5457G3739G5461G3956G444G2064G1519G2889
10The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him.G2258G1722G2889G2532G2889G1096G1223G846G2532G2889G1097G846G3756
11He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him.G2064G1519G2398G2532G2398G3880G846G3756
12Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children.G1161G3745G2983G846G846G1325G1849G1096G5043G2316G4100G1519G846G3686
13They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father.G3739G1080G3756G1537G129G3761G1537G2307G4561G3761G1537G2307G435G235G1537G2316
14The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.G2532G3056G1096G4561G2532G4637G1722G2254G2532G2300G846G1391G1391G5613G3439G3844G3962G4134G5485G2532G225
15John spoke about him. He cried out, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'He comes after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before I was born.' "G2491G3140G4012G846G2532G2896G3004G3778G2258G3739G2036G2064G3694G3450G1096G1715G3450G3754G2258G4413G3450
16Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another.G2532G1537G846G4138G2983G3956G2249G2983G2532G5485G473G5485
17God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.G3754G3551G1325G1223G3475G5485G2532G225G1096G1223G2424G5547
18No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.G3762G3708G2316G4455G3439G5207G3588G5607G1519G2859G3962G1565G1834

John the Baptist’s Message

19The Jewish authorities in Jerusalem sent some priests and Levites to John to ask him, "Who are you?"G2532G3778G2076G3141G2491G3753G2453G649G2409G2532G3019G1537G2414G2443G2065G846G5101G1488G4771
20John did not refuse to answer, but spoke out openly and clearly, saying: "I am not the Messiah."G2532G3670G2532G720G3756G2532G3670G3754G1473G1510G3756G5547
21"Who are you, then?" they asked. "Are you Elijah?" "No, I am not," John answered. "Are you the Prophet?" they asked. "No," he replied.G2532G2065G846G5101G3767G1488G4771G2243G2532G3004G1510G3756G1488G4771G4396G2532G611G3756
22"Then tell us who you are," they said. "We have to take an answer back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself ?"G3767G2036G846G5101G1488G2443G1325G612G3992G2248G5101G3004G4012G4572
23John answered by quoting the prophet Isaiah: "I am 'the voice of someone shouting in the desert: Make a straight path for the Lord to travel!' "G5346G1473G5456G994G1722G2048G2116G3598G2962G2531G2036G4396G2268
24The messengers, who had been sent by the Pharisees,G2532G3588G649G2258G1537G5330
25then asked John, "If you are not the Messiah nor Elijah nor the Prophet, why do you baptize?"G2532G2065G846G2532G2036G846G5101G907G3767G1487G4771G1488G3756G5547G3777G2243G3777G4396
26John answered, "I baptize with water, but among you stands the one you do not know.G2491G611G846G3004G1473G907G1722G5204G1161G2476G3319G5216G3739G5210G1492G3756
27He is coming after me, but I am not good enough even to untie his sandals."G846G2076G3739G2064G3694G3450G1096G1715G3450G3739G846G5266G2438G1473G1510G3756G514G2443G3089
28All this happened in Bethany on the east side of the Jordan River, where John was baptizing.G5023G1096G1722G962G4008G2446G3699G2491G2258G907

The Lamb of God

29The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!G1887G2491G991G2424G2064G4314G846G2532G3004G2396G286G2316G3588G142G266G2889
30This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'A man is coming after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before I was born.'G3778G2076G4012G3739G1473G2036G3694G3450G2064G435G3739G1096G1715G3450G3754G2258G4413G3450
31I did not know who he would be, but I came baptizing with water in order to make him known to the people of Israel."G2504G1492G846G3756G235G2443G5319G2474G1223G5124G2064G1473G2064G907G1722G5204
32And John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and stay on him.G2532G2491G3140G3004G3754G2300G4151G2597G1537G3772G5616G4058G2532G3306G1909G846
33I still did not know that he was the one, but God, who sent me to baptize with water, had said to me, 'You will see the Spirit come down and stay on a man; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'G2504G1492G846G3756G235G3992G3165G907G1722G5204G1565G2036G3427G1909G3739G302G1492G4151G2597G2532G3306G1909G846G3778G2076G907G1722G40G4151
34I have seen it," said John, "and I tell you that he is the Son of God."G2504G3708G2532G3140G3754G3778G2076G5207G2316

The First Disciples of Jesus

35The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples,G3825G1887G2491G2476G2532G1417G1537G846G3101
36when he saw Jesus walking by. "There is the Lamb of God!" he said.G2532G1689G2424G4043G3004G2396G286G2316
37The two disciples heard him say this and went with Jesus.G2532G1417G3101G191G846G2980G2532G190G2424
38Jesus turned, saw them following him, and asked, "What are you looking for?" They answered, "Where do you live, Rabbi?" (This word means "Teacher.")G1161G2424G4762G2532G2300G846G190G3004G846G5101G2212G1161G2036G846G4461G3739G3004G2059G1320G4226G3306
39"Come and see," he answered. (It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon.) So they went with him and saw where he lived, and spent the rest of that day with him.G3004G846G2064G2532G1492G2064G2532G1492G4226G3306G2532G3306G3844G846G1565G2250G1161G2258G5613G1182G5610
40One of them was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.G1520G1537G1417G3588G191G3844G2491G2532G190G846G2258G406G4613G4074G80
41At once he found his brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah." (This word means "Christ.")G3778G4413G2147G2398G80G4613G2532G3004G846G2147G3323G3739G2076G3177G5547
42Then he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "Your name is Simon son of John, but you will be called Cephas." (This is the same as Peter and means "a rock.")G2532G71G846G4314G2424G1161G2424G1689G846G2036G4771G1488G4613G5207G2495G4771G2564G2786G3739G2059G4074

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Come with me!"G1887G2424G2309G1831G1519G1056G2532G2147G5376G2532G3004G846G190G3427
44(Philip was from Bethsaida, the town where Andrew and Peter lived.)G1161G5376G2258G575G966G4172G1537G406G2532G4074
45Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth."G5376G2147G3482G2532G3004G846G2147G3739G3475G1722G3551G2532G4396G1125G2424G575G3478G5207G2501
46"Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," answered Philip.G2532G3482G2036G846G1410G5100G18G1511G1537G3478G5376G3004G846G2064G2532G1492
47When Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, he said about him, "Here is a real Israelite; there is nothing false in him!"G2424G1492G3482G2064G4314G846G2532G3004G4012G846G2396G2475G230G1722G3739G2076G3756G1388
48Nathanael asked him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered, "I saw you when you were under the fig tree before Philip called you."G3482G3004G846G4159G1097G3165G2424G611G2532G2036G846G4253G5376G5455G4571G5607G5259G4808G1492G4571
49"Teacher," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"G3482G611G2532G3004G846G4461G4771G1488G5207G2316G4771G1488G935G2474
50Jesus said, "Do you believe just because I told you I saw you when you were under the fig tree? You will see much greater things than this!"G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3754G2036G4671G1492G4571G5270G4808G4100G3700G3187G5130
51And he said to them, "I am telling you the truth: you will see heaven open and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man."G2532G3004G846G281G281G3004G5213G737G575G3700G3772G455G2532G32G2316G305G2532G2597G1909G5207G444
