←Prev   John 1 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


1:1  In the origin The Word had been existing and That Word had been existing with God and That Word was himself God.
1:2  This One himself was at the origin with God.
1:3  Everything was in his hand, and without him not even one thing existed of the things that existed.
1:4  In him was The Life and The Life is The Light of men.
1:5  And The Light is shining in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.
1:6  There was a man sent from God; his name was Yohannan.
1:7  He came for a witness, to testify about The Light, that everyone by him would believe.
1:8  He was not The Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
1:9  For That One was The Light of Truth, which enlightens every person that comes into the world.
1:10  He was in the world, and the world existed by his hand, and the world knew him not.
1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
1:12  But those that received him, to them he gave authority to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his Name,
1:13  Those who had not been born of blood, nor of the desire of the flesh, nor of the desire of a man, but of God.
1:14  And The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of The Only Begotten of The Father, full of grace and truth.
1:15  Yohannan bore witness of him and cried, saying, “This was he of whom I spoke: 'He that comes after me is preferred in honor before me, for he had priority over me.'
1:16  And of his fulness we have all received, and grace for grace.
1:17  For The Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Yeshua The Messiah.
1:18  No man has seen God at any time; The Only Begotten God Who is in the bosom of The Father, he has declared him.”
1:19  And this is the testimony of Yohannan when the Judaeans sent Levites and priests to him from Jerusalem in order to ask him: “Who are you?”
1:20  And he confessed and did not deny and confessed: “I am not The Messiah.”
1:21  And they asked him again, “What, therefore? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “No.” “Are you a Prophet”, and he said “No.”
1:22  And they said to him, “And who are you? Tell us that we may give a statement to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
1:23  He said: “I am the voice that cries in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of THE LORD JEHOVAH', just as that which Isaiah the Prophet said.”
1:24  And they that were sent were of the Pharisees.
1:25  And they asked him and said to him, “Why therefore are you baptizing, if you are not The Messiah, nor Elijah, nor The Prophet?”
1:26  Yohannan answered and said to them, “I am baptizing in water; but he is standing in your midst whom you do not know.”
1:27  “This is he who comes after me and he was preferred in honor before me; he whose sandal strap I am unworthy to loose.”
1:28  These were in Bethany at the crossing of the Jordan where Yohannan was baptizing.
1:29  And the day after, Yohannan saw Yeshua Who came to him and Yohannan said: “Behold, The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!”
1:30  “This is The One of whom I said: 'After me a man is coming and he was himself before me because he had priority over me.'”
1:31  “And I did not know him, but so that he should be made known to Israel, therefore I have come to baptize in water.”
1:32  And Yohannan testified and said: “I saw The Spirit who was descending from Heaven like a dove and remaining upon him.”
1:33  “And I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me: “The One on whom you see The Spirit descending and remaining, This is The One who baptizes in The Spirit of Holiness.”
1:34  “And I have seen and have testified that This One is The Son of God.”
1:35  And another day Yohannan was standing and two of his disciples;
1:36  And he gazed upon Yeshua as he was walking and said: “Behold: The Lamb of God.”
1:37  And the two of his disciples heard as he spoke and they went after Yeshua.
1:38  And Yeshua turned and he saw them coming after him and he said: “What are you seeking?”, and they said, “Our Master, where are you staying?”
1:39  He said to them: “Come and see.” And they came and saw where he lived and stayed with him that day, and it was about the tenth hour.
1:40  One of those who heard Yohannan and followed Yeshua himself was Andrew, Shimeon's brother.
1:41  This one first saw Shimeon his brother and he said to him: “We have found The Messiah.”
1:42  And he brought him to Yeshua and Yeshua gazed at him and he said: “You are Shimeon, son of Yona; you shall be called Kaypha.”
1:43  And the next day Yeshua wanted to depart to Galilee and he met Phillipus and he said to him: “Follow me.”
1:44  Phillipus himself was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Shimeon.
1:45  Phillipus found Nathaniel and said to him: “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in The Written Law and in The Prophets; he is Yeshua Bar Yoseph from Nazareth.”
1:46  Nathaniel said to him: “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”Phillipus said to him, “come and see”.
1:47  Yeshua saw Nathaniel when he came to him and said about him: “Behold, truly a son of Israel in whom is no deceit.”
1:48  Nathaniel said to him: “From where do you know me?” Yeshua said to him: “Before Phillipus called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
1:49  Nathaniel answered and said to him: “Rabbi, you are The Son of God; you are The King of Israel.”
1:50  Yeshua said to him: “Do you believe because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree? You shall see greater things than these.”
1:51  He said to him: “Timeless truth I speak to you all: From this hour you shall see Heaven being opened and the Angels of God as they ascend and descend unto The Son of Man.”
