John 1: 1-51
 
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word as with
 
God, and the Word was God.
 
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
 
3 All things were made by him; and without him was
 
not any thing made that was made.
 
4 In him was life;and the life was the light of men.
 
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
 
comprehended it not.
 
6 There was  a man sent from God, whose name was
 
John.
 
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the
 
Light, that all men through him might believe.
 
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
 
that Light.
 
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
 
that cometh into the world.
 
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by
 
him, and the world knew him not.
 
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him
 
not.
 
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power
 
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
 
on his name:
 
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the ill of the
 
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
 
14 And the Word was mad 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.
 
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This
 
was he of whom I spake, He cometh after me is
 
preferred before me: for he was before me.
 
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace
 
for grace.
 
17 For the law was given by Moses,but grace and truth
 
came by Jesus Christ.
 
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only
 
begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he
 
hath declared him.
 
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent
 
priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art
 
thou?
 
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I
 
am not the Christ.
 
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias?
 
And he saith, I am not.  Art thou that prophet? And he
 
answered, No.
 
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we
 
may give an answer to them that sent us.  What sayest
 
thou of thyself?
 
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the
 
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said
 
the prophet Esaias.
 
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
 
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
 
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias,
 
neither that prophet?
 
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water:
 
but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
 
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me,
 
whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
 
28 These things were don in Bethabara beyond Jordan,
 
where John was baptizing.
 
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and
 
saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh way the
 
sin of the world.
 
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man
 
which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
 
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made
 
manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with
 
water.
 
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
 
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon
 
him.
 
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize
 
with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou
 
salt see the Spirit descending,and remaining on him,the
 
same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
 
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of
 
God.
 
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of him
 
disciples;
 
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith,
 
Behold the Lamb of God!
 
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they
 
followed Jesus.
 
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and
 
saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him,
 
Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,)
 
where dwelest thou?
 
39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and
 
saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for
 
it was about the tenth hour.
 
40 One of the two which heard John speak, and
 
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
 
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith
 
unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being
 
interpreted, the Christ.
 
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus
 
beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona:
 
thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation,
 
A stone.
 
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee,
 
and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
 
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew
 
and Peter.
 
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We
 
have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the
 
prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
 
Joseph.
 
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good
 
thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him,
 
come and see.
 
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of
 
him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
 
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou
 
me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that
 
Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I
 
saw thee.
 
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi,
 
thou art the the Son of GOd; thou art the King o Israel.
 
50 Jesus answered, and said unto him, Because I said
 
unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou?
 
thou shalt see greater things than these.
 
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
 
Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of
 
God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
