| 1:1 | In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; |
| 1:2 | this one was in the beginning with God; |
| 1:3 | all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened. |
| 1:4 | In him was life, and the life was the light of men, |
| 1:5 | and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it. |
| 1:6 | There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name `is' John, |
| 1:7 | this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him; |
| 1:8 | that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light. |
| 1:9 | He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world; |
| 1:10 | in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him: |
| 1:11 | to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him; |
| 1:12 | but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name, |
| 1:13 | who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten. |
| 1:14 | And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth. |
| 1:15 | John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;' |
| 1:16 | and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace; |
| 1:17 | for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come; |
| 1:18 | God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare. |
| 1:19 | And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, `Who art thou?' |
| 1:20 | and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- `I am not the Christ.' |
| 1:21 | And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, `I am not.' -- `The prophet art thou?' and he answered, `No.' |
| 1:22 | They said then to him, `Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?' |
| 1:23 | He said, `I `am' a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.' |
| 1:24 | And those sent were of the Pharisees, |
| 1:25 | and they questioned him and said to him, `Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?' |
| 1:26 | John answered them, saying, `I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me, |
| 1:27 | of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.' |
| 1:28 | These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing, |
| 1:29 | on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world; |
| 1:30 | this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me: |
| 1:31 | and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing. |
| 1:32 | And John testified, saying -- `I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him; |
| 1:33 | and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayst see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit; |
| 1:34 | and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.' |
| 1:35 | On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples, |
| 1:36 | and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God;' |
| 1:37 | and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. |
| 1:38 | And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, `What seek ye?' and they said to them, `Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?' |
| 1:39 | He saith to them, `Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth. |
| 1:40 | Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him; |
| 1:41 | this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, `We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,) |
| 1:42 | and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, `Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.) |
| 1:43 | On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, `Be following me.' |
| 1:44 | And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter; |
| 1:45 | Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who `is' from Nazareth;' |
| 1:46 | and Nathanael said to him, `Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, `Come and see.' |
| 1:47 | Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;' |
| 1:48 | Nathanael saith to him, `Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, `Before Philip's calling thee -- thou being under the fig-tree -- I saw thee.' |
| 1:49 | Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.' |
| 1:50 | Jesus answered and said to him, `Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;' |
| 1:51 | and he saith to him, `Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.' |
| 1:1 | In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God. |
| 1:2 | The same was in the beginnynge with God. |
| 1:3 | All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made. |
| 1:4 | In it was lyfe and the lyfe was ye lyght of men |
| 1:5 | and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not. |
| 1:6 | There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn. |
| 1:7 | The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve. |
| 1:8 | He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght. |
| 1:9 | That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde. |
| 1:10 | He was in ye worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not. |
| 1:11 | He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not. |
| 1:12 | But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in yt they beleved on his name: |
| 1:13 | which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God. |
| 1:14 | And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs and we sawe the glory of it as the glory of the only begotten sonne of ye father which worde was full of grace and verite. |
| 1:15 | Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake he that cometh after me was before me because he was yer then I. |
| 1:16 | And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace. |
| 1:17 | For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ. |
| 1:18 | No ma hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in ye bosome of ye father he hath declared him. |
| 1:19 | And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou? |
| 1:20 | And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ. |
| 1:21 | And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no. |
| 1:22 | Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe? |
| 1:23 | He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias. |
| 1:24 | And they which were sent were of the pharises. |
| 1:25 | And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet? |
| 1:26 | Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not |
| 1:27 | he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. |
| 1:28 | These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse. |
| 1:29 | The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. |
| 1:30 | This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I |
| 1:31 | and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water. |
| 1:32 | And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him |
| 1:33 | and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost. |
| 1:34 | And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God. |
| 1:35 | The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples. |
| 1:36 | And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God. |
| 1:37 | And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus. |
| 1:38 | And Iesus turned about and sawe them folowe and sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion Master) where dwellest thou? |
| 1:39 | He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: and abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre. |
| 1:40 | One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother. |
| 1:41 | The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted: |
| 1:42 | and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone. |
| 1:43 | The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me. |
| 1:44 | Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter. |
| 1:45 | And Philip founde Nathanael and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe and the prophetes dyd wryte. Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. |
| 1:46 | And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se. |
| 1:47 | Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle. |
| 1:48 | Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder ye fygge tree I sawe the. |
| 1:49 | Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel. |
| 1:50 | Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the I sawe the vnder the fygge tree thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these. |
| 1:51 | And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man. |
| 1:1 | In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was with God, and God was ye worde. |
| 1:2 | The same was in the begynnynge wt God. |
| 1:3 | All thinges were made by the same, and without the same was made nothinge that was made. |
| 1:4 | In him was the life, and the life was the light of men: |
| 1:5 | and the light shyneth in the darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not. |
| 1:6 | There was sent from God a man, whose name was Ihon. |
| 1:7 | The same came for a witnesse, to beare wytnesse of ye light, that thorow him they all might beleue. |
| 1:8 | He was not that light, but that he might beare witnesse of ye light. |
| 1:9 | That was the true light, which lighteth all men, that come in to this worlde. |
| 1:10 | He was in the worlde, & the worlde was made by him, and ye worlde knewe him not. |
| 1:11 | He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not. |
| 1:12 | But as many as receaued him, to them gaue he power to be the children of God: euen soch as beleue in his name. |
| 1:13 | Which are not borne of bloude, ner of the wyl of the flesh, ner of the wyl of man, but of God. |
| 1:14 | And the worde became flesh, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe his glory, a glory as of the onely begotte sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth. |
| 1:15 | Ihon bare wytnesse of him, cryed, and sayde: It was this, of whom I spake: After me shal he come, that was before me, For he was or euer I: |
| 1:16 | and of his fulnesse haue all we receaued grace for grace. |
| 1:17 | For the lawe was geuen by Moses, grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ. |
| 1:18 | No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared the same vnto vs. |
| 1:19 | And this is the recorde of Ihon, whan the Iewes sent prestes and Leuites fro Ierusalem, to axe him: Who art thou? |
| 1:20 | And he confessed and denyed not. And he confessed, and sayde: I am not Christ. |
| 1:21 | And they axed him: What the? Art thou Elias? He sayde: I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he answered: No. |
| 1:22 | Then sayde they vnto him: What art thou the, yt we maye geue answere vnto the that sent vs? What sayest thou of yi self? |
| 1:23 | He sayde: I am ye voyce of a cryer in the wyldernesse. Make straight ye waye of the LORDE. As ye prophet Esay sayde: |
| 1:24 | And they that were sent, were of ye Pharises. |
| 1:25 | And they axed him, & sayde vnto him: Why baptysest thou then, yf thou be not Christ, ner Elias, ner a prophet? |
| 1:26 | Ihon answered them, and sayde: I baptyse with water, but there is one come in amonge you, whom ye knowe not. |
| 1:27 | It is he that cometh after me, which was before me: whose shue lachet I am not worthy to vnlowse. |
| 1:28 | This was done at Bethabara beyonde Iordane, where Ihon dyd baptyse. |
| 1:29 | The nexte daye after, Ihon sawe Iesus commynge vnto him, and sayde: Beholde the labe of God, which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. |
| 1:30 | This is he, of whom I sayde vnto you: After me commeth a man, which was before me. For he was or euer I, |
| 1:31 | and I knewe him not: but that he shulde be declared in Israel, therfore am I come to baptyse with water. |
| 1:32 | And Ihon bare recorde, & sayde: I sawe the sprete descende from heauen like vnto a doue, and abode vpon him, |
| 1:33 | & I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptyse with water, ye same sayde vnto me: Vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him, the same is he, that baptyseth with the holy goost. |
| 1:34 | And I sawe it, and bare recorde, that this is the sonne of God. |
| 1:35 | The nexte daye after, Ihon stode agayne, and two of his disciples. |
| 1:36 | And wha he sawe Iesus walkynge, he sayde: Beholde the labe of God. |
| 1:37 | And two of his disciples herde him speake, and folowed Iesus. |
| 1:38 | And Iesus turned him aboute, and sawe them folowinge, and sayde vnto the: What seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi, (which is to saye by interpretacion, Master.) Where art thou at lodginge? |
| 1:39 | He sayde vnto them: Come and se it. They came and sawe it, & abode with him the same daye. It was aboute the tenth houre. |
| 1:40 | One of the two, which herde Ihon speake, and folowed Iesus, was Andrew the brother of Symon Peter: |
| 1:41 | the same founde first his brother Symon, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde Messias (which is by interpretacion, ye Anoynted) |
| 1:42 | and brought him to Iesus. Whan Iesus behelde him, he sayde: Thou art Symon the sonne of Ionas, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretacion, a stone. |
| 1:43 | The nexte daye after, wolde Iesus go agayne in to Galile, and founde Philippe, and sayde vnto him: Folowe me. |
| 1:44 | Philippe was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter. |
| 1:45 | Philippe founde Nathanael, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde him, of who Moses in the lawe, and ye prophetes haue wrytten, euen Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. |
| 1:46 | And Nathanaell sayde vnto him: What good can come out of Nazareth? Philippe sayde vnto him: Come, and se. |
| 1:47 | Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, and sayde of him: Beholde, a righte Israelite, in whom is no gyle. |
| 1:48 | Nathanael sayde vnto him: From whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Before yt Philippe called the, whan thou wast vnder the fygge tre, I sawe the. |
| 1:49 | Nathanaell answered, and sayde vnto hi: Rabbi, thou art ye sonne of God, thou art ye kynge of Israel. |
| 1:50 | Iesus answered, & sayde vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the, that I sawe the vnder the fygge tre, thou beleuest: thou shalt se yet greater thinges the these. |
| 1:51 | And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Fro this tyme forth shal ye se the heauen open, and the angels of God goinge vp & downe ouer the sonne of man. |
