| 1:1 | In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
| 1:2 | The same was in the beginning with God. |
| 1:3 | All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
| 1:4 | In him was life, and the life was the light of men. |
| 1:5 | And the light shineth in darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not. |
| 1:6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn. |
| 1:7 | The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the light, that all men through him might beleeue. |
| 1:8 | Hee was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light. |
| 1:9 | That was the true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world. |
| 1:10 | Hee was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. |
| 1:11 | Hee came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not. |
| 1:12 | But as many as receiued him, to them gaue hee power to become the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue on his Name: |
| 1:13 | Which were borne, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
| 1:14 | And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs (& we beheld his glory, the glory as of the onely begotten of the Father) full of grace and trueth. |
| 1:15 | Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that commeth after me, is preferred before me, for he was before me. |
| 1:16 | And of his fulnesse haue all wee receiued, and grace for grace. |
| 1:17 | For the Law was giuen by Moses, but grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ. |
| 1:18 | No man hath seene God at any time: the onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him. |
| 1:19 | And this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priests and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou? |
| 1:20 | And he confessed, and denied not: but confessed, I am not the Christ. |
| 1:21 | And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And hee answered, No. |
| 1:22 | Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe? |
| 1:23 | He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wildernesse: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias. |
| 1:24 | And they which were sent, were of the Pharises. |
| 1:25 | And they asked him, and said vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet? |
| 1:26 | Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not, |
| 1:27 | He it is, who comming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose. |
| 1:28 | These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordane, where Iohn was baptizing. |
| 1:29 | The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Behold the Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world. |
| 1:30 | This is he of whom I said, After me commeth a man, which is preferred before me: for he was before me. |
| 1:31 | And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therfore am I come baptizing with water. |
| 1:32 | And Iohn bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heauen, like a Doue, and it abode vpon him. |
| 1:33 | And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said vnto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, & remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost. |
| 1:34 | And I saw, and bare record, that this is the sonne of God. |
| 1:35 | Againe the next day after, Iohn stood, and two of his disciples. |
| 1:36 | And looking vpon Iesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lambe of God. |
| 1:37 | And the two disciples heard him speake, and they followed Iesus. |
| 1:38 | Then Iesus turned, and saw them following, and saith vnto them, What seeke ye? They said vnto him, Rabbi, (which is to say being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou? |
| 1:39 | He saith vnto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre. |
| 1:40 | One of the two which heard Iohn speake, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peters brother. |
| 1:41 | He first findeth his owne brother Simon, and saith vnto him, We haue found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. |
| 1:42 | And he brought him to Iesus. And when Iesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone. |
| 1:43 | The day following, Iesus would goe foorth into Galilee, & findeth Philip, & saith vnto him, Follow me. |
| 1:44 | Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter. |
| 1:45 | Philip findeth Nathaneel, and saith vnto him, We haue found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets did write, Iesus of Nazareth the sonne of Ioseph. |
| 1:46 | And Nathaneel said vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith vnto him, Come and see. |
| 1:47 | Iesus saw Nathaneel comming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile. |
| 1:48 | Nathaneel sayeth vnto him, Whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I saw thee. |
| 1:49 | Nathaneel answered, and saith vnto him, Rabbi, thou art the Sonne of God, thou art the king of Israel. |
| 1:50 | Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Because I said vnto thee, I saw thee vnder the figge tree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these. |
| 1:51 | And hee saith vnto him, Uerily, verily I say vnto you, heereafter yee shall see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon the sonne of man. |
| 1:1 | In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. |
| 1:2 | This same was in the beginning with God. |
| 1:3 | All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. |
| 1:4 | In it was life, and that life was the light of men. |
| 1:5 | And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not. |
| 1:6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn. |
| 1:7 | This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue. |
| 1:8 | He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light. |
| 1:9 | This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world. |
| 1:10 | He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not. |
| 1:11 | He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not. |
| 1:12 | But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name. |
| 1:13 | Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God. |
| 1:14 | And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth. |
| 1:15 | Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I. |
| 1:16 | And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace. |
| 1:17 | For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ. |
| 1:18 | No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him. |
| 1:19 | Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou? |
| 1:20 | And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ. |
| 1:21 | And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No. |
| 1:22 | Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe? |
| 1:23 | He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias. |
| 1:24 | Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises. |
| 1:25 | And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet? |
| 1:26 | Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not. |
| 1:27 | He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose. |
| 1:28 | These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize. |
| 1:29 | The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of god, which taketh away the sinne of the world. |
| 1:30 | This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I. |
| 1:31 | And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water. |
| 1:32 | So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him, |
| 1:33 | And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost. |
| 1:34 | And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God. |
| 1:35 | The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples. |
| 1:36 | And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God. |
| 1:37 | And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus. |
| 1:38 | Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou? |
| 1:39 | He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre. |
| 1:40 | Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him. |
| 1:41 | The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ. |
| 1:42 | And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone. |
| 1:43 | The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me. |
| 1:44 | Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter. |
| 1:45 | Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth. |
| 1:46 | Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see. |
| 1:47 | Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile. |
| 1:48 | Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee. |
| 1:49 | Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel. |
| 1:50 | Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these. |
| 1:51 | And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man. |
| 1:1 | In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was wyth God: and God was the worde. |
| 1:2 | The same was in the begynnyng wyth God. |
| 1:3 | All thinges were made by it, & wythout it, was made nothynge that was made. |
| 1:4 | In it was lyfe, and the lyfe was the lyght of men, |
| 1:5 | and the lyght shyneth in darcknes, and the darcknes comprehended it not. |
| 1:6 | There was sent from God a man, whose name was Iohn. |
| 1:7 | The same cam as a wytnes to beare wytnes of the lyght, that all men through hym myght beleue. |
| 1:8 | He was not the lyght: but was sent to beare wytnes of the lyght. |
| 1:9 | That lyght was the true lyght, whych lyghteth euery man that cometh into the worlde. |
| 1:10 | He was in the worlde, and the worlde was made by hym: and the worlde knewe hym not. |
| 1:11 | He cam amonge hys awne, and hys awne receaued him not. |
| 1:12 | But as many as receaued hym to them gaue he power to be the sonnes of God: euen them that beleued on hys name: |
| 1:13 | whych were borne, not of bloude nor of the wyll of the flesshe, nor yet of the wyll of man: but of God. |
| 1:14 | And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth. |
| 1:15 | Iohn beareth wytnes of hym, and cryeth sayinge: Thys was he of whom I spake: which though he came after me, went before me, for he was before me. |
| 1:16 | And of hys fulnes haue all we receaued, euen grace for grace. |
| 1:17 | For the lawe was geuen by Moses, but grace & trueth came by Iesus Christ. |
| 1:18 | No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotten sonne, whych is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym. |
| 1:19 | And thys is the recorde of Iohn: when the Iewes sent Prestes and Leuites from Ierusalem, to aske hym, what art thou? |
| 1:20 | And he confessed & denyed not, & sayde playnly. I am not Chryst. |
| 1:21 | And they asked him: what then? art thou Helyas? And he sayeth: I am not. Arte thou that Prophete? And he answered no. |
| 1:22 | Then sayde they vnto hym: what art thou, that we maye geue an answer to them that sent vs. What sayest thou of thy selfe? |
| 1:23 | He sayde I am the voyce of a criar in the wildernes, make strayght the waye of the Lorde, as sayde the Prophete Esaias. |
| 1:24 | And they whych were sent, were of the Pharyses: |
| 1:25 | And they asked him, & sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then, yf thou be not Christ, nor Helias, nether that Prophet? |
| 1:26 | Iohn answered them sayinge I baptise with water: but there stondeth one amonge you, whom ye knowe not, |
| 1:27 | he it is which though he came after me, was before me, whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. |
| 1:28 | These thynges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptise. |
| 1:29 | The nexte daye, Iohn seeth Iesus comminge vnto hym, and sayeth beholde the lambe of God, whych taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. |
| 1:30 | Thys is he of whom I sayd: After me cometh a man, whych went before me, for he was before me, |
| 1:31 | and I knewe him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell, therfore am I come baptysinge with water. |
| 1:32 | And Iohn bare recorde, sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, & abode vpon him, |
| 1:33 | and I knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptise in water, the same sayde vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he whych baptiseth wyth the holy goost. |
| 1:34 | And I sawe, and bare recorde, that he is the sonne of God. |
| 1:35 | The nexte daye after, Iohn stode agayne, & two of his disciples, |
| 1:36 | and he behelde Iesus as he walked by, & sayeth: beholde the lambe of God. |
| 1:37 | And the two disciples hearde hym speake, and they folowed Iesus. |
| 1:38 | And Iesus turned about, and sawe them folowe hym, & sayeth vnto them: what seke ye? They sayd vnto hym: Rabbi (whych is to saye yf one interprete it Master) where dwellest thou? |
| 1:39 | He sayeth vnto them: come & se. They came, & sawe where he dwelt: & abode with hym that daye. For it was about the tenth houre. |
| 1:40 | One of the two which hearde Iohn speake, and folowed him, was Andrew Simon Peters brother. |
| 1:41 | The same founde hys brother Simon fyrst, and sayeth vnto him: we haue founde Messias (whych is by interpretacion, annoynted) |
| 1:42 | and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: thou art Simon the sonne of Ionas, thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone. |
