John 1

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.SelectedJohn 1:1CopyShareAsk

²The same was in the beginning with God.SelectedJohn 1:2CopyShareAsk

³All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.SelectedJohn 1:3CopyShareAsk

⁴In him was life; and the life was the light of men.SelectedJohn 1:4CopyShareAsk

⁵And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.SelectedJohn 1:5CopyShareAsk

⁶There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.SelectedJohn 1:6CopyShareAsk

⁷The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.SelectedJohn 1:7CopyShareAsk

⁸He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.SelectedJohn 1:8CopyShareAsk

⁹That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.SelectedJohn 1:9CopyShareAsk

¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.SelectedJohn 1:10CopyShareAsk

¹¹He came unto his own, and his own received him not.SelectedJohn 1:11CopyShareAsk

¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:SelectedJohn 1:12CopyShareAsk

¹³Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.SelectedJohn 1:13CopyShareAsk

¹⁴And 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.SelectedJohn 1:14CopyShareAsk

¹⁵John 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.SelectedJohn 1:15CopyShareAsk

¹⁶And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.SelectedJohn 1:16CopyShareAsk

¹⁷For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.SelectedJohn 1:17CopyShareAsk

¹⁸No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.SelectedJohn 1:18CopyShareAsk

¹⁹And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?SelectedJohn 1:19CopyShareAsk

²⁰And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.SelectedJohn 1:20CopyShareAsk

²¹And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.SelectedJohn 1:21CopyShareAsk

²²Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?SelectedJohn 1:22CopyShareAsk

²³He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.SelectedJohn 1:23CopyShareAsk

²⁴And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.SelectedJohn 1:24CopyShareAsk

²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?SelectedJohn 1:25CopyShareAsk

²⁶John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;SelectedJohn 1:26CopyShareAsk

²⁷He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.SelectedJohn 1:27CopyShareAsk

²⁸These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.SelectedJohn 1:28CopyShareAsk

²⁹The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.SelectedJohn 1:29CopyShareAsk

³⁰This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.SelectedJohn 1:30CopyShareAsk

³¹And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.SelectedJohn 1:31CopyShareAsk

³²And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.SelectedJohn 1:32CopyShareAsk

³³And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.SelectedJohn 1:33CopyShareAsk

³⁴And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.SelectedJohn 1:34CopyShareAsk

³⁵Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;SelectedJohn 1:35CopyShareAsk

³⁶And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!SelectedJohn 1:36CopyShareAsk

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.SelectedJohn 1:37CopyShareAsk

³⁸Then 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 dwellest thou?SelectedJohn 1:38CopyShareAsk

³⁹He 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.SelectedJohn 1:39CopyShareAsk

⁴⁰One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.SelectedJohn 1:40CopyShareAsk

⁴¹He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.SelectedJohn 1:41CopyShareAsk

⁴²And 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.SelectedJohn 1:42CopyShareAsk

⁴³The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.SelectedJohn 1:43CopyShareAsk

⁴⁴Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.SelectedJohn 1:44CopyShareAsk

⁴⁵Philip 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.SelectedJohn 1:45CopyShareAsk

⁴⁶And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.SelectedJohn 1:46CopyShareAsk

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!SelectedJohn 1:47CopyShareAsk

⁴⁸Nathanael 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.SelectedJohn 1:48CopyShareAsk

⁴⁹Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.SelectedJohn 1:49CopyShareAsk

⁵⁰Jesus 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.SelectedJohn 1:50CopyShareAsk

⁵¹And 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.SelectedJohn 1:51CopyShareAsk
