Jn Chapter 1 Verses 1-51
1:1
|  | 
From
|  | 
the
|  | 
first
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
the
|  | 
Word,
|  | 
and
|  | 
the
|  | 
Word
|  | 
was
|  | 
in
|  | 
relation
|  | 
with
|  | 
God
|  | 
and
|  | 
was
|  | 
God.
1:2
|  | 
This
|  | 
Word
|  | 
was
|  | 
from
|  | 
the
|  | 
first
|  | 
in
|  | 
relation
|  | 
with
|  | 
God.
1:3
|  | 
All
|  | 
things
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
into
|  | 
existence
|  | 
through
|  | 
him,
|  | 
and
|  | 
without
|  | 
him
|  | 
nothing
|  | 
was.
1:4
|  | 
What
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
into
|  | 
existence
|  | 
in
|  | 
him
|  | 
was
|  | 
life,
|  | 
and
|  | 
the
|  | 
life
|  | 
was
|  | 
the light
|  | 
of
|  | 
men.
1:5
|  | 
And
|  | 
the light
|  | 
goes
|  | 
on
|  | 
shining
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
dark;
|  | 
it
|  | 
is
|  | 
not
|  | 
overcome
|  | 
by
|  | 
the
|  | 
dark.
1:6
|  | 
There
|  | 
was
|  | 
a
|  | 
man
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
from
|  | 
God,
|  | 
whose
|  | 
name
|  | 
was
|  | 
John.
1:7
|  | 
He
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
for
|  | 
witness,
to
|  | 
give
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
the light,
|  | 
so
|  | 
that
|  | 
all
|  | 
men
|  | 
might
|  | 
have
|  | 
faith
|  | 
through
|  | 
him.
1:8
|  | 
He
|  | 
himself
|  | 
was
|  | 
not
|  | 
the light:
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
sent
to
|  | 
give
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
the light.
1:9
|  | 
The
|  | 
true
|  | 
light,
|  | 
which
|  | 
gives
|  | 
light
|  | 
to
|  | 
every
|  | 
man,
|  | 
was
|  | 
then
|  | 
coming
|  | 
into
|  | 
the
|  | 
world.
|  | 
1:10
|  | 
He
|  | 
was
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
world,
|  | 
the
|  | 
world
|  | 
which
| 
 | 
came
into
|  | 
being
|  | 
through
|  | 
him,
|  | 
but
|  | 
the
|  | 
world
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
no
|  | 
knowledge
|  | 
of
|  | 
him.
1:11
|  | 
He
|  | 
came to
|  | 
the
|  | 
things
|  | 
which
|  | 
were
|  | 
his
|  | 
and
|  | 
his
|  | 
people
|  | 
did not
|  | 
take
|  | 
him
|  | 
to
|  | 
their
|  | 
hearts.
1:12
|  | 
To
|  | 
all
|  | 
those
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
did
|  | 
so
|  | 
take
|  | 
him,
|  | 
however,
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
gave
|  | 
the
|  | 
right
|  | 
of
|  | 
becoming
|  | 
children
|  | 
of
|  |  | 
God–that
|  | 
is,
|  | 
to
|  | 
those
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
faith
|  | 
in
|  | 
his
|  | 
name:
1:13
|  | 
Whose
|  | 
birth
|  | 
was
|  | 
from
|  | 
God
|  | 
and
|  | 
not
|  | 
from
|  | 
blood,
|  | 
or
|  | 
from
|  | 
an
impulse
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
flesh
|  | 
and
|  | 
man’s
|  | 
desire.
1:14
|  | 
And
|  | 
so
|  | 
the
|  | 
Word
| 
 | 
became
|  | 
flesh
|  | 
and
| 
 | 
took
|  | 
a
|  | 
place
|  | 
among
|  | 
us
|  | 
for
|  | 
a
|  | 
time;
|  | 
and
|  | 
we
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
his
|  |  | 
glory–such
|  | 
glory
|  | 
as
|  | 
is
|  | 
given
|  | 
to
|  | 
an
|  | 
only
|  | 
son
|  | 
by
|  | 
his
|  | 
 | 
father–saw
|  | 
it
to
|  | 
be
|  | 
true
|  | 
and
|  | 
full
|  | 
of
|  | 
grace.
|  | 
1:15
|  | 
John
| 
 | 
gave
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
him,
|  | 
crying,
|  | 
This
|  | 
is
|  | 
he
|  | 
of
whom
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
He
|  | 
who
|  | 
is
|  | 
coming
|  | 
after
|  | 
me
|  | 
is
|  | 
put
|  | 
over
|  | 
me
|  | 
because
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
in
|  | 
existence
|  | 
before
|  | 
me.
1:16
|  | 
From
|  | 
his
|  | 
full
|  | 
measure
|  | 
we
|  | 
have
|  | 
all
| 
 | 
been
|  | 
given
|  | 
grace
|  | 
on
|  | 
grace.
1:17
|  | 
For
|  | 
the
|  | 
law
|  | 
was
|  | 
given
|  | 
through
|  | 
Moses;
|  | 
grace
|  | 
and
|  | 
the
|  | 
true
|  | 
way
|  | 
of
|  | 
life
|  | 
are
|  | 
ours
|  | 
through
|  | 
Jesus Christ.
1:18
|  | 
No
|  | 
man
|  | 
has seen
|  | 
God
|  | 
at
|  | 
any time;
|  | 
the
|  | 
only
|  | 
Son,
|  | 
who
|  | 
is
|  | 
on
|  | 
the
breast
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father,
|  | 
he
|  | 
has
|  | 
made
|  | 
clear
|  | 
what
|  | 
God
|  | 
is.
1:19
|  | 
And
|  | 
this
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
|  | 
witness
|  | 
of
|  | 
John
|  | 
when
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jews
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
priests
|  | 
and
Levites
|  | 
from
|  | 
Jerusalem
|  | 
to
|  | 
him
|  | 
with
|  | 
the
|  | 
question,
|  | 
Who
|  | 
are you?
|  | 
1:20
|  | 
He
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
quite
openly
|  | 
and
straightforwardly,
|  | 
I
|  | 
am not
|  | 
the
|  | 
Christ.
1:21
|  | 
And
|  | 
they
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
What
|  | 
then?
|  | 
Are you
|  | 
Elijah?
|  | 
And
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
I
|  | 
am not.
|  | 
Are you
|  | 
the
prophet?
|  | 
And
|  | 
his
|  | 
answer
|  | 
was,
|  | 
I
|  | 
am not.
1:22
|  | 
So
|  | 
they
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Who
|  | 
are you
|  | 
then?
|  | 
We
|  | 
have to
|  | 
give
|  | 
some
|  | 
answer
|  | 
to
|  | 
those
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
us.
|  | 
What
|  | 
have
|  | 
you
to
|  | 
say
|  | 
about
|  | 
yourself?
1:23
|  | 
He
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
I
|  | 
am
|  | 
the
|  | 
voice
|  | 
of
|  | 
one
|  | 
crying
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
waste
|  | 
land,
|  | 
Make
|  | 
straight
|  | 
the
|  | 
way
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
Lord,
|  | 
as
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
Isaiah
|  | 
the
prophet.
1:24
|  | 
Those
|  | 
who
|  | 
had been
|  | 
sent
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
from
|  | 
the
Pharisees.
|  | 
1:25
|  | 
And
|  | 
they
| 
 | 
put
|  | 
this
|  | 
question
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
saying,
|  | 
Why
|  | 
then
|  | 
are you
|  | 
giving
|  | 
baptism
|  | 
if
|  | 
you
|  | 
are not
|  | 
the
|  | 
Christ,
|  | 
or
|  | 
Elijah,
|  | 
or
|  | 
the
prophet?
1:26
|  | 
John’s
|  | 
answer
|  | 
was:
|  | 
I
|  | 
give
|  | 
baptism
|  | 
with
|  | 
water;
|  | 
but
|  | 
there
|  | 
is
|  | 
one
|  | 
among
|  | 
you
|  | 
of
whom
|  | 
you
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
knowledge;
1:27
|  | 
It
|  | 
is
|  | 
he
|  | 
who
|  | 
is
|  | 
coming
|  | 
after
|  | 
me;
|  | 
I
|  | 
am not
|  | 
good
|  | 
enough
to
undo
|  | 
his
|  | 
shoes.
1:28
|  | 
These
|  | 
things
|  | 
took place
|  | 
at
|  | 
Bethany
|  | 
on
|  | 
the
|  | 
other side
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jordan,
|  | 
where
|  | 
John
|  | 
was
|  | 
giving
|  | 
baptism.
1:29
|  | 
The
|  | 
day
|  | 
after,
|  | 
John
|  | 
sees
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
coming
|  | 
to
|  | 
him
|  | 
and
|  | 
says,
|  | 
See,
|  | 
here
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
|  | 
Lamb
|  | 
of
|  | 
God
|  | 
who
|  | 
takes away
|  | 
the
sin
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
world!
|  | 
1:30
|  | 
This
|  | 
is
|  | 
he
|  | 
of
whom
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
One
|  | 
is
|  | 
coming
|  | 
after
|  | 
me
|  | 
who
|  | 
is
|  | 
put
|  | 
over
|  | 
me
|  | 
because
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
in
|  | 
existence
|  | 
before
|  | 
me.
1:31
|  | 
I
|  | 
myself
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
no
|  | 
knowledge
|  | 
of
|  | 
him,
|  | 
but
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
giving
|  | 
baptism
|  | 
with
|  | 
water
|  | 
so
|  | 
that
|  | 
he
|  | 
might
|  | 
be
|  | 
seen
openly
|  | 
by
|  | 
Israel.
1:32
|  | 
And
|  | 
John
| 
 | 
gave
|  | 
this
|  | 
witness,
|  | 
saying,
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
the
|  | 
Spirit
|  | 
coming
|  | 
down
|  | 
from
|  | 
heaven
|  | 
like
|  | 
a
|  | 
dove
|  | 
and
|  | 
resting
|  | 
on
|  | 
him.
1:33
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
no
|  | 
knowledge
|  | 
who
|  | 
he
|  | 
was,
|  | 
but
|  | 
he
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
me
to
|  | 
give
|  | 
baptism
|  | 
with
|  | 
water
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
me,
|  | 
The one
|  | 
on
whom
|  | 
you
|  | 
see
|  | 
the
|  | 
Spirit
|  | 
coming
|  | 
down
|  | 
and
|  | 
resting,
|  | 
it
|  | 
is
|  | 
he
|  | 
who
|  | 
gives
|  | 
baptism
|  | 
with
|  | 
the
|  | 
Holy Spirit.
1:34
|  | 
This
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
myself
|  | 
and
|  | 
my
|  | 
witness
|  | 
is
|  | 
that
|  | 
he
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
of
|  | 
God.
|  | 
1:35
|  | 
The
|  | 
day
|  | 
after,
|  | 
John
|  | 
was
|  | 
there
|  | 
again
|  | 
with
|  | 
two
|  | 
of
|  | 
his
|  | 
disciples;
1:36
|  | 
And
|  | 
looking at
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
while
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
walking
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
See,
|  | 
there
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
|  | 
Lamb
|  | 
of
|  | 
God!
1:37
|  | 
Hearing
|  | 
what
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
the
|  | 
two
|  | 
disciples
| 
 | 
went
|  | 
after
|  | 
Jesus.
1:38
|  | 
And
|  | 
Jesus,
|  | 
turning round,
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
them
|  | 
coming
|  | 
after
|  | 
him
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
them,
|  | 
What
|  | 
are you
|  | 
looking
|  | 
for?
|  | 
They
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Rabbi
|  | 
(which
|  | 
is
to
|  | 
say,
|  | 
Master),
|  | 
where
|  | 
are you
|  | 
living?
1:39
|  | 
He
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
them,
|  | 
Come
|  | 
and
|  | 
see.
|  | 
They
| 
 | 
went
|  | 
with
|  | 
him
|  | 
then
|  | 
and
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
where
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
living;
|  | 
and
|  | 
they
|  | 
were
|  | 
with
|  | 
him
|  | 
all
|  | 
that
|  | 
day:
|  | 
it
|  | 
was
|  | 
then
|  | 
about
|  | 
the
|  | 
tenth
|  | 
hour
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
day.
|  | 
1:40
|  | 
Andrew,
|  | 
Simon
|  | 
Peter’s
|  | 
brother,
|  | 
was
|  | 
one
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
two
|  | 
men
|  | 
who,
|  | 
hearing
|  | 
what
|  | 
John
| 
 | 
said,
| 
 | 
went
|  | 
after
|  | 
Jesus.
1:41
|  | 
Early
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
morning
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
across
|  | 
his
|  | 
brother
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
We
|  | 
have
|  | 
made
|  | 
discovery!
|  | 
It
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
Messiah!
|  | 
(which
|  | 
is
to
|  | 
say,
|  | 
the
|  | 
Christ).
1:42
|  | 
And
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
took
|  | 
him
|  | 
to
|  | 
Jesus.
|  | 
Looking at
|  | 
him
fixedly
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
You
|  | 
are
|  | 
Simon,
|  | 
the
|  | 
son
|  | 
of
|  | 
John;
|  | 
your
|  | 
name
|  | 
will
|  | 
be
Cephas
|  | 
(which
|  | 
is
to
|  | 
say,
|  | 
Peter).
1:43
|  | 
The
|  | 
day
|  | 
after
|  | 
this,
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
a
|  | 
desire
|  | 
to go
|  | 
into
Galilee.
|  | 
He
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
across
|  | 
Philip
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Come
|  | 
and
|  | 
be
|  | 
my
|  | 
disciple.
1:44
|  | 
Now
|  | 
Philip’s
|  | 
town
|  | 
was
Beth-saida,
|  | 
where
|  | 
Andrew
|  | 
and
|  | 
Peter
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
from.
|  | 
1:45
|  | 
Philip
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
across
Nathanael
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
We
|  | 
have
|  | 
made
|  | 
a
|  | 
discovery!
|  | 
It
|  | 
is
|  | 
he
|  | 
of
whom
|  | 
Moses,
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
law,
|  | 
and
|  | 
the
prophets
|  | 
were
|  | 
writing,
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
of
Nazareth,
|  | 
the
|  | 
son
|  | 
of
|  | 
Joseph.
1:46
Nazareth!
| 
 | 
said
Nathanael,
|  | 
Is
|  | 
it
|  | 
possible
|  | 
for
|  | 
any
|  | 
good
to
|  | 
come out
|  | 
of
Nazareth?
|  | 
Philip
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Come
|  | 
and
|  | 
see.
1:47
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
saw
Nathanael
|  | 
coming
|  | 
to
|  | 
him
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
of
|  | 
him,
|  | 
See,
|  | 
here
|  | 
is
|  | 
a
|  | 
true
|  | 
son
|  | 
of
|  | 
Israel
|  | 
in
whom
|  | 
there
|  | 
is
|  | 
nothing
|  | 
false.
1:48
Nathanael
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Where
|  | 
did you
|  | 
get
|  | 
knowledge
|  | 
of
|  | 
me?
|  | 
In
|  | 
answer
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
Before
|  | 
Philip
|  | 
was
|  | 
talking
|  | 
with
|  | 
you,
|  | 
while
|  | 
you
|  | 
were
|  | 
still
|  | 
under
|  | 
the
|  |  | 
fig-tree,
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
you.
1:49
Nathanael
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Rabbi,
|  | 
you
|  | 
are
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
of
|  | 
God,
|  | 
you
|  | 
are
|  | 
King
|  | 
of
|  | 
Israel!
|  | 
1:50
|  | 
In
|  | 
answer
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
You
|  | 
have
|  | 
faith
|  | 
because
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
you,
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
you
|  | 
under
|  | 
the
|  |  | 
fig-tree.
|  | 
You
|  | 
will
|  | 
see
|  | 
greater
|  | 
things
|  | 
than
|  | 
these.
1:51
|  | 
And
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Truly
|  | 
I
|  | 
say
|  | 
to
|  | 
you
|  | 
all,
|  | 
You
|  | 
will
|  | 
see
|  | 
heaven
|  | 
opening
|  | 
and
|  | 
God’s
|  | 
angels
|  | 
going up
|  | 
and
|  | 
coming
|  | 
down
|  | 
on
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
of
|  | 
man.
