Inthe beginningwastheWord, andtheWordwaswithGod, andtheWordwasGod. The samewasinthe beginningwithGod. All thingswere madebyhim; andwithouthimwas notany thingmadethatwas made. Inhimwaslife; andthelifewasthelightof men. Andthelightshinethindarkness; andthedarknesscomprehendeditnot. There wasa mansentfromGod, whosename was John. The samecamefora witness, tobear witnessoftheLight, thatall men throughhimmight believe. Hewasnotthat Light, but was sent tobear witnessofthat Light. That wasthetrueLight, whichlightetheverymanthat comethintotheworld. He wasintheworld, andtheworldwas madebyhim, andtheworldknewhimnot. He cameuntohis own, andhis ownreceivedhimnot. Butas many asreceivedhim, to themgavehe powerto becomethe sonsof God, even to them that believeonhisname: Whichwere born, notofblood, norofthe willof the flesh, norofthe willof man, butofGod. AndtheWordwas madeflesh, anddweltamongus, ( andwe beheldhisglory, the gloryasof the only begottenofthe Father,) fullof graceandtruth. Johnbare witnessofhim, andcried, saying, Thiswashe of whomI spake, He that comethaftermeis preferredbeforeme: for hewasbeforeme. Andofhisfullnesshave allwereceived, andgraceforgrace. Forthelawwas givenbyMoses, but graceandtruthcamebyJesusChrist. No manhath seenGodat any time; theonly begottenSon, which isinthebosomof theFather, hehath declared him. Andthisistherecordof John, whentheJewssentpriestsandLevitesfromJerusalemtoaskhim, Whoartthou? Andhe confessed, anddeniednot; butconfessed, IamnottheChrist. Andthey askedhim, Whatthen? ArtthouElijah? Andhe saith, I amnot. Artthouthat Prophet? Andhe answered, No. Thensaidthey unto him, Whoartthou? thatwe may givean answerto them that sentus. Whatsayestthou ofthyself? He said, I am the voiceof one cryinginthewilderness, Make straightthewayof the Lord, assaidtheprophetIsaiah. Andthey which were sentwereofthePharisees. Andthey askedhim, andsaidunto him, Whybaptizestthou then, ifthoubenotthat Christ, norElijah, neitherthat prophet? Johnansweredthem, saying, Ibaptizewithwater: butthere standethone amongyou, whomyeknownot; Heit is, who comingaftermeis preferredbeforeme, whoseshoe's latchetIamnotworthytounloose. These thingswere doneinBethabarabeyondJordan, whereJohnwasbaptizing. Thenext dayJohnseethJesuscominguntohim, andsaith, BeholdtheLambof God, which taketh awaythesinof theworld. Thisishe ofwhomIsaid, Aftermecometha manwhichis preferredbeforeme: forhe wasbeforeme. And Iknewhimnot: butthathe should be made manifestto Israel, therefoream Icomebaptizingwithwater. AndJohnbare record, saying, I sawtheSpiritdescendingfromheavenlikea dove, andit abodeuponhim. And Iknewhimnot: buthe that sentmeto baptizewithwater, the samesaidunto me, Uponwhomthou shalt seetheSpiritdescending, andremainingonhim, the sameishe which baptizethwiththe HolyGhost. And Isaw, andbare recordthatthisistheSonof God. Againthenext day afterJohnstood, andtwoofhisdisciples; Andlooking uponJesusas he walked, he saith, BeholdtheLambof God! Andthetwodisciplesheardhimspeak, andthey followedJesus. ThenJesusturned, andsawthemfollowing, and saithunto them, Whatseekye? They saidunto him, Rabbi, ( whichis to say, being interpreted, Master,) wheredwellestthou? He saithunto them, Comeandsee. They cameandsawwherehe dwelt, andabodewithhimthatday: forit wasaboutthe tenthhour. Oneofthetwowhich heardJohn speak, andfollowedhim, wasAndrew, SimonPeter's brother. Hefirstfindethhis ownbrotherSimon, andsaithunto him, We have foundtheMessiah, which is, being interpreted, theChrist. Andhe broughthimtoJesus. Andwhen Jesusbeheldhim, he said, ThouartSimontheson of Jona: thou shalt be calledCephas, whichis by interpretation, A stone. Theday followingJesuswouldgo forthintoGalilee, andfindethPhilip, andsaithunto him, Followme. NowPhilipwasofBethsaida, thecityof AndrewandPeter. PhilipfindethNathanael, andsaithunto him, We have foundhim, of whomMosesinthelaw, andtheprophets, did write, JesusofNazareth, thesonof Joseph. AndNathanaelsaidunto him, Canthere anygood thingcomeout ofNazareth? Philipsaithunto him, Comeandsee. JesussawNathanaelcomingtohim, andsaithofhim, Behold an Israeliteindeed, inwhomisnoguile! Nathanaelsaithunto him, Whenceknowestthou me? Jesusansweredandsaidunto him, Before that Philipcalledthee, when thou wastunderthe fig tree, I sawthee. Nathanaelansweredandsaithunto him, Rabbi, thouarttheSonof God; thouarttheKingof Israel. Jesusansweredandsaidunto him, Because I said unto thee, I sawtheeunderthe fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. Andhe saithunto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall seeheavenopen, andtheangels of GodascendinganddescendingupontheSon of man.
