Joh_01_01 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh_01_02 The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh_01_03 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh_01_04 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Joh_01_05 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Joh_01_06 There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.

Joh_01_07 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.

Joh_01_08 He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear witness of that Light.

Joh_01_09 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Joh_01_10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Joh_01_11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Joh_01_12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

Joh_01_13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Joh_01_14 And 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.

Joh_01_15 John 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.

Joh_01_16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Joh_01_17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Joh_01_18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

Joh_01_19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

Joh_01_20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

Joh_01_21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

Joh_01_22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

Joh_01_23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

Joh_01_24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

Joh_01_25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

Joh_01_26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

Joh_01_27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

Joh_01_28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Joh_01_29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Joh_01_30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

Joh_01_31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

Joh_01_32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

Joh_01_33 And 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.

Joh_01_34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

Joh_01_35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

Joh_01_36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

Joh_01_37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

Joh_01_38 Then 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?

Joh_01_39 He 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.

Joh_01_40 One of the two which heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Joh_01_41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

Joh_01_42 And 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.

Joh_01_43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

Joh_01_44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Joh_01_45 Philip 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.

Joh_01_46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Joh_01_47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Joh_01_48 Nathanael 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.

Joh_01_49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Joh_01_50 Jesus 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.

Joh_01_51 And 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.
