| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He was with God in the beginning. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’ ” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?” |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.” |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ ” |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then the Pharisees who had been sent |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’ |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.” |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?” |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ). |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter). |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.” |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.” |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.” |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” |
