John

道成肉身

1太初有道，道与 神同在，道就是 神。

2这道太初与 神同在。

3万物是借着他造的；凡被造的，没有一样不是借着他造的。

4生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。

5光照在黑暗里，黑暗却不接受光。

6有一个人，是从 神那里差来的，名叫约翰。

7这人来，为要作见证，就是为光作见证，叫众人因他可以信。

8他不是那光，乃是要为光作见证。

9那光是真光，照亮一切生在世上的人。

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，自己的人倒不接待他。

12凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄作 神的儿女。

13这等人不是从血气生的，不是从情欲生的，也不是从人意生的，乃是从 神生的。

14道成了肉身，住在我们中间，充充满满地有恩典有真理。我们也见过他的荣光，正是父独生子的荣光。

15约翰为他作见证，喊着说：「这就是我曾说：『那在我以后来的，反成了在我以前的，因他本来在我以前。』」

16从他丰满的恩典里，我们都领受了，而且恩上加恩。

17律法本是借着摩西传的；恩典和真理都是由耶稣基督来的。

18从来没有人看见 神，只有在父怀里的独生子将他表明出来。

施洗约翰的见证

19约翰所作的见证记在下面：犹太人从耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到约翰那里，问他说：「你是谁？」

20他就明说，并不隐瞒，明说：「我不是基督。」

21他们又问他说：「这样，你是谁呢？是以利亚吗？」他说：「我不是。」「是那先知吗？」他回答说：「不是。」

22于是他们说：「你到底是谁，叫我们好回复差我们来的人。你自己说，你是谁？」

23他说：「我就是那在旷野有人声喊着说：『修直主的道路』，正如先知以赛亚所说的。」

24那些人是法利赛人差来的；

25他们就问他说：「你既不是基督，不是以利亚，也不是那先知，为什么施洗呢？」

26约翰回答说：「我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你们中间，是你们不认识的，

27就是那在我以后来的，我给他解鞋带也不配。」

28这是在约旦河外伯大尼，约翰施洗的地方作的见证。

神的羔羊

29次日，约翰看见耶稣来到他那里，就说：「看哪， 神的羔羊，除去世人罪孽的！

30这就是我曾说：『有一位在我以后来、反成了在我以前的，因他本来在我以前。』

31我先前不认识他，如今我来用水施洗，为要叫他显明给以色列人。」

32约翰又作见证说：「我曾看见圣灵，仿佛鸽子从天降下，住在他的身上。

33我先前不认识他，只是那差我来用水施洗的、对我说：『你看见圣灵降下来，住在谁的身上，谁就是用圣灵施洗的。』

34我看见了，就证明这是 神的儿子。」

初次选召门徒

35再次日，约翰同两个门徒站在那里。

36他见耶稣行走，就说：「看哪，这是 神的羔羊！」

37两个门徒听见他的话，就跟从了耶稣。

38耶稣转过身来，看见他们跟着，就问他们说：「你们要什么？」他们说：「拉比，在哪里住？」（拉比翻出来就是夫子。）

39耶稣说：「你们来看。」他们就去看他在哪里住，这一天便与他同住；那时约有申正了。

40听见约翰的话跟从耶稣的那两个人，一个是西门·彼得的兄弟安得烈。

41他先找着自己的哥哥西门，对他说：「我们遇见弥赛亚了。」（弥赛亚翻出来就是基督。）

42于是领他去见耶稣。耶稣看着他，说：「你是约翰的儿子西门，你要称为矶法。」（矶法翻出来就是彼得。）

呼召腓力和拿但业

43又次日，耶稣想要往加利利去，遇见腓力，就对他说：「来跟从我吧。」

44这腓力是伯赛大人，和安得烈、彼得同城。

45腓力找着拿但业，对他说：「摩西在律法上所写的和众先知所记的那一位，我们遇见了，就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣。」

46拿但业对他说：「拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗？」腓力说：「你来看！」

47耶稣看见拿但业来，就指着他说：「看哪，这是个真以色列人，他心里是没有诡诈的。」

48拿但业对耶稣说：「你从哪里知道我呢？」耶稣回答说：「腓力还没有招呼你，你在无花果树底下，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耶稣对他说：「因为我说『在无花果树底下看见你』，你就信吗？你将要看见比这更大的事」；

51又说：「我实实在在地告诉你们，你们将要看见天开了， 神的使者上去下来在人子身上。」

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God.

3All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.

4In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.

8He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.

9That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.

13Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.

16And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.

17For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

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

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

20And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.

21And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.

22They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?

23He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.

24And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.

25And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?

26John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.

27The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.

28These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.

30This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.

31And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.

33And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.

35The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.

36And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.

37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

38And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

39He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.

40And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.

41He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

42And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.

43On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.

44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.

46And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.

47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.

48Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

49Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

50Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.

51And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
