[an error occurred while processing this directive] | English Standard Version |
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 in the beginning with God. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4In him was life, and the 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 was a man sent from God, whose name was John. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16For from 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; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, |
27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” |
28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, 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, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ |
31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” |
32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ |
34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” |
35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, |
36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” |
37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. |
38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” |
39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. |
40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. |
41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). |
42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter). |
43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” |
44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. |
45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” |
46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” |
47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” |
48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” |
49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” |
50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” |
51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” |
