- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- The same was in the beginning with God.
- All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
- In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
- And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
|
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- He was in the beginning with God.
- All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
- In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
- The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
|
- There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
- The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
- He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
- That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
- He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
|
- There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
- He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
- He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
- There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
- He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
|
- He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
- 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:
- Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
- And the Word was made 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.
- John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
|
- He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
- But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
- who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
- And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
- John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"
|
- And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
- For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
- No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
- And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
- And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
|
- For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
- For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
- No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
- This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
- And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."
|
- And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
- Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
- He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
- And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
- And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
|
- They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not " "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
- Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"
- He said, "I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
- Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.
- They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
|
- John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
- He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
- These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
|
- John answered them saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
- "It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
- These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
