Dual Panel1In <1722> the beginning <746> was <1510> the Word <3056>, and <2532> the Word <3056> was <1510> with <4314> God <2316>, and <2532> the Word <3056> was <1510> fully God <2316>.
2The Word <3778> was <1510> with <4314> God <2316> in <1722> the beginning <746>.
3All things <3956> were created <1096> by <1223> him <846>, and <2532> apart from <5565> him <846> not one thing <3761> was created <1096> that <3739> has been created <1096>.
4In <1722> him <846> was <1510> life <2222>, and <2532> the life <2222> was <1510> the light <5457> of mankind <444>.
5And <2532> the light <5457> shines on <5316> in <1722> the darkness <4653>, but <2532> the darkness <4653> has <2638> not <3756> mastered <2638> it <846>.
6A man <444> came <1096>, sent <649> from <3844> God <2316>, whose <846> name <3686> was John <2491>.
7He <3778> came <2064> as <1519> a witness <3141> to <2443> testify <3140> about <4012> the light <5457>, so that <2443> everyone <3956> might believe <4100> through <1223> him <846>.
8He <1510> himself <1565> was <1510> not <3756> the light <5457>, but <235> he came to <2443> testify <3140> about <4012> the light <5457>.
9The true <228> light <5457>, who <3739> gives light <5461> to everyone <444>, everyone <3956>, was coming <2064> into <1519> the world <2889>.
10He was <1510> in <1722> the world <2889>, and <2532> the world <2889> was created <1096> by <1223> him <846>, but <2532> the world <2889> did <1097> not <3756> recognize <1097> him <846>.
11He came <2064> to <1519> what was his own <2398>, but <2532> his own <2398> people did <3880> not <3756> receive <3880> him <846>.
12But <1161> to all <3745> who have received <2983> him <846>– those who believe <4100> in <1519> his <846> name <3686>– he has given <1325> the right <1849> to become <1096> God’s <2316> children <5043>
13–children not <3756> born <1080> by <1537> human parents <129> or <3761> by <1537> human <4561> desire <2307> or <3761> a husband’s <435> decision <2307>, but <235> by <1537> God <2316>.
14Now <2532> the Word <3056> became <1096> flesh <4561> and <2532> took up residence <4637> among <1722> us <2254>. We saw <2300> his <846> glory <1391>– the glory <1391> of the one and only <3439>, full <4134> of grace <5485> and <2532> truth <225>, who came from <3844> the Father <3962>.
15John <2491> testified <3140> about <4012> him <846> and <2532> shouted out <2896>, “This one <3778> was <1510> the one about whom I said <3004>, ‘He who comes <2064> after <3694> me <3450> is <1096> greater <4413> than I <3450> am, because <3754> he existed before <1715> me <3450>.’”
16For <3754> we <2249> have <2983> all <3956> received <2983> from <1537> his <846> fullness <4138> one gracious gift after another <5485> <473> <5485>.
17For <3754> the law <3551> was given <1325> through <1223> Moses <3475>, but grace <5485> and <2532> truth <225> came about <1096> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
18No one <3762> has <3708> ever <4455> seen <3708> God <2316>. The only one <3439>, himself God <2316>, who is <1510> in <1519> closest fellowship <2859> with the Father <3962>, has made <1834> God known <1834>.
19Now <2532> this <3778> was <1510> John’s <2491> testimony <3141> when <3753> the Jewish <2453> leaders sent <649> priests <2409> and <2532> Levites <3019> from <1537> Jerusalem <2414> to <2443> ask <2065> him <846>, “Who <5101> are <1510> you <4771>?”
20He <2532> confessed <3670>– he did <720> not <3756> deny <720> but <2532> confessed <3670>– “I <1473> am <1510> not <3756> the Christ <5547>!”
21So <2532> they asked <2065> him <846>, “Then <3767> who <5101> are you? Are <1510> you <4771> Elijah <2243>?” He <2532> said <3004>, “I am <1510> not <3756>!” “Are <1510> you <4771> the Prophet <4396>?” He <2532> answered <611>, “No <3756>!”
22Then <3767> they said <3004> to him <846>, “Who <5101> are you <1510>? Tell us so <2443> that we can give <1325> an answer <612> to those who sent <3992> us <2248>. What <5101> do you say <3004> about <4012> yourself <4572>?”
23John said <5346>, “I <1473> am the voice <5456> of one shouting <994> in <1722> the wilderness <2048>, ‘Make straight <2116> the way <3598> for the Lord <2962>,’ as <2531> Isaiah <2268> the prophet <4396> said <2036>.”
24(Now <2532> they had been <1510> sent <649> from <1537> the Pharisees <5330>.)
25So <2532> they asked <2065> John <846>, “Why <5101> then <3767> are you baptizing <907> if <1487> you <4771> are <1510> not <3756> the Christ <5547>, nor <3761> Elijah <2243>, nor <3761> the Prophet <4396>?”
26John <2491> answered <611> them <846>, “I <1473> baptize <907> with <1722> water <5204>. Among <3319> you <5216> stands <4739> one whom <3739> you <5210> do <1492> not <3756> recognize <1492>,
27who is coming <2064> after <3694> me <3450>. I <1473> am <1510> not <3756> worthy <514> to <2443> untie <3089> the strap <2438> of his <846> sandal <5266>!”
28These things <5023> happened <1096> in <1722> Bethany <963> across <4008> the Jordan River <2446> where <3699> John <2491> was baptizing <907>.
29On the next day <1887> John saw <991> Jesus <2424> coming <2064> toward <4314> him <846> and <2532> said <3004>, “Look <1492>, the Lamb <286> of God <2316> who takes away <142> the sin <266> of the world <2889>!
30This <3778> is <1510> the one about <5228> whom <3739> I <1473> said <2036>, ‘After <3694> me <3450> comes <2064> a man <435> who <3739> is greater <4413> than I <3450> am, because <3754> he existed <1096> before <1715> me <3450>.’
31I <2504> did <1492> not <3756> recognize <1492> him <846>, but <235> I <1473> came <2064> baptizing <907> with <1722> water <5204> so that <2443> he could be revealed <5319> to Israel <2474>.”
32Then <2532> John <2491> testified <3140>, “I saw <2300> the Spirit <4151> descending <2597> like <5613> a dove <4058> from <1537> heaven <3772>, and <2532> it remained <3306> on <1909> him <846>.
33And I <2504> did <1492> not <3756> recognize <1492> him <846>, but <235> the one who sent <3992> me <3165> to baptize <907> with <1722> water <5204> said <2036> to me <3427>, ‘The one <1565> on <1909> whom <3739> you see <1492> the Spirit <4151> descending <2597> and <2532> remaining <3306>– this <3778> is <1510> the one who baptizes <907> with <1722> the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>.’
34I <2504> have <3708> both <2504> seen <3708> and <2532> testified <3140> that <3754> this man <3778> is <1510> the Chosen One <5207> of God <2316>.”
35Again <3825> the next day <1887> John <2491> was standing <2476> there with two <1417> of <1537> his <846> disciples <3101>.
36Gazing <1689> at Jesus <2424> as <4043> he walked by <4043>, he said <3004>, “Look <1492>, the Lamb <286> of God <2316>!”
37When <2532> John’s two <1417> disciples <3101> heard <191> him <846> say <2980> this, they followed <190> Jesus <2424>.
38Jesus <2424> turned around <4762> and <2532> saw <2300> them <846> following <190> and said <3004> to them <846>, “What <5101> do you want <2212>?” So <1161> they said <3004> to him <846>, “Rabbi <4461>” (which <3739> is translated <3177> Teacher <1320>), “where <4226> are you staying <3306>?”
39Jesus answered <3004>, “Come <2064> and <2532> you will see <3708>.” So <3767> they came <2064> and <2532> saw <3708> where <4225> he was staying <3306>, and <2532> they stayed <3306> with <3844> him <846> that <1565> day <2250>. Now it was <1510> about <5613> four <1182> o’clock <5610> in the afternoon <1182>.
40Andrew <406>, the brother <80> of Simon <4613> Peter <4074>, was <1510> one <1520> of the two <1417> disciples who heard <191> what John <2491> said and <2532> followed <190> Jesus <846>.
41He <3778> first <4412> found <2147> his own <2398> brother <80> Simon <4613> and <2532> told <3004> him <846>, “We have found <2147> the Messiah <3323>!” (which <3739> is <1510> translated <3177> Christ <5547>).
42Andrew brought <71> Simon <846> to <4314> Jesus <2424>. Jesus <2424> looked at <1689> him <846> and said <2036>, “You <4771> are <1510> Simon <4613>, the son <5207> of John <2491>. You <4771> will be called <2564> Cephas <2786>” (which <3739> is translated <2059> Peter <4074>).
43On <1887> the next day <1887> Jesus <2424> wanted <2309> to set out <1831> for <1519> Galilee <1056>. He <2532> found <2147> Philip <5376> and <2532> said <3004> to him <846>, “Follow <190> me <3427>.”
44(Now <1161> Philip <5376> was <1510> from <575> Bethsaida <966>, the town <4172> of Andrew <406> and <2532> Peter <4074>.)
45Philip <5376> found <2147> Nathanael <3482> and <2532> told <3004> him <846>, “We have found <2147> the one <3739> Moses <3475> wrote <1125> about in <1722> the law <3551>, and <2532> the prophets <4396> also wrote about– Jesus <2424> of <575> Nazareth <3478>, the son <5207> of Joseph <2501>.”
46Nathanael <3482> replied <2036>, “Can <1410> anything <5101> good <18> come out <1510> of <1537> Nazareth <3478>?” Philip <5376> replied <3004>, “Come <2064> and <2532> see <1492>.”
47Jesus <2424> saw <1492> Nathanael <3482> coming <2064> toward <4314> him <846> and <2532> exclaimed <3004>, “Look <1492>, a true <230> Israelite <2475> in <1722> whom <3739> there is <1510> no <3756> deceit <1388>!”
48Nathanael <3482> asked <3004> him <846>, “How <4159> do you know <1097> me <3165>?” Jesus <2424> replied <2036>, “Before <4253> Philip <5376> called <5455> you <4571>, when you were <1510> under <5259> the fig tree <4808>, I saw <1492> you <4571>.”
49Nathanael <3482> answered <611> him <846>, “Rabbi <4461>, you <4771> are <1510> the Son <5207> of God <2316>; you <4771> are <1510> the king <935> of Israel <2474>!”
50Jesus <2424> said <2036> to him <846>, “Because <3754> I told <2036> you <4671> that <3754> I saw <1492> you <4571> under <5270> the fig tree <4808>, do you believe <4100>? You will see <3708> greater things than <3173> these <5130>.”
51He continued <3004>, “I tell <3004> all of you <5213> the solemn truth <281> <281>– you will see <3700> heaven <3772> opened <455> and <2532> the angels <32> of God <2316> ascending <305> and <2532> descending <2597> on <1909> the Son <5207> of Man <444>.”
