1 In the beginning was the Utterance, and the Utterance was with God, and the Utterance was God. *
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into existence by Him; and there is nothing that has come into existence that came into existence without Him.
4 In Him was genuine and absolute fullness of Life; and the genuine and absolute fullness of Life was the Light of men.
5 And the Light appeared in darkness; and the darkness didn't comprehend it.
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 receive the divine belief and trust.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, Who lights every man who comes into the world.
10 He was in the orderly system, and the orderly system came into existence by Him, and the orderly system did not know Him.
11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the children of God--to those who believe into His Name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Utterance was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Unique of the Father, full of divine power for righteousness, holiness, and redemption and truth.
15 John witnessed of Him, and cried, saying, This was He of whom I spoke, He who is after me is appearing was in existence in front of me: for He was first in position before me.
16 And we have all received of His fullness, and divine power for righteousness, holiness, and redemption leading to more divine power for righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but divine power for righteousness, holiness, and redemption and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man has seen God at any time; the unique Son, which is into the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Are you Elias? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they to him, Who are you? That we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
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 who were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why do you baptize then, if you are not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands One among you, Whom you do not know;
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 done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Look at the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew Him not: but that He should be made visible to Israel, therefore have I come baptizing with water.
32 And John gave a witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him.
33 And I did not know Him: but He who sent me to baptize with water, the Same said to me, 'Upon Whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He Who baptizes with the Holy Ghost.'
34 And I saw, and gave a witness that this is the Son of God."
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking on Jesus as He walked, he says, Look at 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 says to them, What do you seek? They said to Him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where do you dwell?
39 He says to 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 finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias [Anointed One], which is, being interpreted, the Christ [Anointed One].
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus saw Him, he said, You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A small stone.
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to 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 to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says of him, See an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael said to Him, From where do you know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49 Nathanael answered and says to Him, Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.
51 And He says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son Of Man.
