1 太初有道， 道与 神同在， 道就是 神。
2 这道太初与 神同在。
3 万有是借着他造的； 凡被造的， 没有一样不是借着他造的。
4 在他里面有生命， （有些抄本第3、4节或译： "万有是借着他造的， 没有一样不是借着他造的； 凡被造的， 都在他里面有生命......"）这生命就是人的光。
5 光照在黑暗中， 黑暗不能胜过光。
6 有一个人， 名叫约翰， 是 神所差来的。
7 他来是要作见证， 就是为光作见证， 使众人借着他可以相信。
8 他不是那光， 而是要为那光作见证。
9 那光来到世界， 是普照世人的真光。
10 他在世界， 世界也是借着他造的， 世界却不认识他。
11 他到自己的地方来， 自己的人却不接受他。
12 凡接受他的， 就是信他名的人， 他就赐给他们权利， 成为 神的儿女。
13 他们不是从血统生的， 不是从肉身的意思生的， 也不是从人意生的， 而是从 神生的。
14 道成了肉身， 住在我们中间， 满有恩典和真理。我们见过他的荣光， 正是从父而来的独生子的荣光。
15 约翰为他作见证， 大声说： "这一位就是我所说的： ‘那在我以后来的， 位分比我高， 因为他本来是在我以前的。’"
16 从他的丰盛里我们都领受了， 而且恩上加恩。
17 律法是借着摩西颁布的， 恩典和真理却是借着耶稣基督而来的。
18 从来没有人见过 神， 只有在父怀里的独生子把他彰显出来。
19 以下是约翰的见证： 犹太人从耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人到约翰那里， 问他： "你是谁？"
20 约翰并不否认， 坦白地承认说： "我不是基督。"
21 他们又问： "那么你是谁？是以利亚吗？"他说： "我不是。""是那位先知吗？"他回答： "不是。"
22 于是他们再问： "你是谁？好让我们回复派我们来的人。你说你自己是谁？"
23 他说： "我就是在旷野呼喊者的声音： ‘修直主的路！ ’正如以赛亚先知所说的。"
24 这些人是法利赛人派来的。
25 他们问约翰： "你既然不是基督， 不是以利亚， 也不是那位先知， 那么你为什么施洗呢？"
26 约翰回答： "我是用水施洗， 但有一位站在你们中间， 是你们不认识的；
27 他是在我以后来的， 我就是给他解鞋带也不配。"
28 这些事发生在约旦河东的伯大尼， 约翰施洗的地方。
29 第二天， 约翰见耶稣迎面而来， 就说： "看哪， 神的羊羔， 是除去世人的罪孽的！
30 这一位就是我所说的： ‘有一个人， 是在我以后来的， 位分比我高， 因为他本来是在我以前的。’
31 我本来不认识他， 但为了要把他显明给以色列人， 因此我来用水施洗。"
32 约翰又作见证说： "我曾看见圣灵， 好像鸽子从天上降下来， 停留在他的身上。
33 我本来不认识他， 但那差我来用水施洗的对我说： ‘你看见圣灵降下来， 停留在谁身上， 谁就是用圣灵施洗的。’
34 我看见了， 就作见证说： ‘这就是 神的儿子。’"
35 过了一天， 约翰和他的两个门徒又站在那里。
36 约翰看见耶稣走过的时候， 就说： "看哪， 神的羊羔！ "
37 那两个门徒听见他的话， 就跟从了耶稣。
38 耶稣转过身来， 看见他们跟着， 就问： "你们要什么？"他们说： "拉比， 你在哪里住？"（"拉比"的意思就是"老师"。）
39 他说： "你们来看吧！ "于是他们就去看他所住的地方。那一天他们就和耶稣住在一起； 那时大约是下午四点钟。
40 听了约翰的话而跟从耶稣的那两个人， 一个是西门．彼得的弟弟安得烈。
41 他先找到自己的哥哥西门， 告诉他： "我们遇见弥赛亚了！ "（"弥赛亚"的意思就是"基督"。）
42 安得烈就带他到耶稣那里。耶稣定睛看着他， 说： "你是约翰的儿子西门， 你要称为矶法。"（"矶法"翻译出来就是"彼得"。）
43 再过一天， 耶稣决定往加利利去； 他遇见腓力， 就对他说： "来跟从我！ "
44 腓力是伯赛大人， 与安得烈和彼得同乡。
45 腓力找到拿但业， 告诉他： "摩西在律法书上所写的， 和众先知所记的那位， 我们已经遇见了， 他就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣。"
46 拿但业说： "拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗？"腓力说： "你来看！ "
47 耶稣看见拿但业向他走过来， 就论到他说： "看哪， 这的确是个以色列人， 他心里没有诡诈。"
48 拿但业问他： "你怎么认识我呢？"耶稣回答： "腓力还没有招呼你， 你在无花果树下的时候， 我就看见你了。"
49 拿但业说： "拉比， 你是 神的儿子， 你是以色列的王！ "
50 耶稣说： "因为我告诉你‘我看见你在无花果树下’， 你就信了吗？你还要看见比这些更大的事。"
51 又对他说： "我实实在在告诉你们， 你们要看见天开了， 神的众使者在人子的身上， 上去下来。"
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. 6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light. 9 There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on 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 Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. 15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me. 16 For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou? 20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. 22 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet. 24 And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, 27 even he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. 28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me. 31 And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water. 32 And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples; 36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou? 39 He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). 42 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me. 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
