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. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognise him. 11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. 12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in 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 The Word became flesh and lived amongst us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’" 16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realised through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, "I am not the Christ."

21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?"

He said, "I am not."

"Are you the prophet?"

He answered, "No."

22 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said."

24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, "Why then do you baptise if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

26 John answered them, "I baptise in water, but amongst you stands one whom you don’t know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen." 28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptising.

29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, 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 who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’ 31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptising in water, that he would be revealed to Israel." 32 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. 33 I didn’t recognise him, but he who sent me to baptise in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptises in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."

35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?"

They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"

39 He said to them, "Come and see."

They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter).

43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me." 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

46 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?"

Philip said to him, "Come and see."

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?"

Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!"

50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!" 51 He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.2 This was in the beginning with Aloha.3 Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.4 In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;5 and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.6 There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.7 He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.8 He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.9 For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.10 In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.12 But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.13 These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.14 And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.15 Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.16 And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.17 For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.18 ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.19 And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.21 And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.22 And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?23 He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.24 But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.25 And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?26 Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:27 he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.28 These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.29 AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!30 This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.31 And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.32 And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.33 And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:34 and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha35 And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;36 and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!37 And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.38 And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?39 He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.40 Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.41 This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;42 and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.43 AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.44 Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.45 Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.46 Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.47 And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.50 Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.51 He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
