| 1:1 |
 n 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. |
