But as many as received him, to them gave he power to be the sons of God: in that they believed on his name:

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God: and the word was God.

And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten son of the father, which word was full of grace, and verity.

That was a true light, which lighteneth all men that come into the world.

The next day, John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, "Behold, the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

All things were made by it, and without it was made no thing, that was made.

The same came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all men through him might believe.

And the light shineth in the darkness, but the darkness comprehended it not.

He was not that light: but to bear witness of the light.

No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten son, which is in the father's bosom, hath declared him.

In it was life; And the life was the light of men;

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

He came among his own, and his own received him not.

The same was in the beginning with God.

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

And he confessed, and denied not, and said plainly, "I am not Christ."

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

which were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor yet of the will of man: but of God.

And this is the record of John: When the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, "What art thou?"

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

Then said they unto him, "What art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thy self?"

And they asked him, and said unto him, "Why baptisest thou then, if thou be not Christ, nor Elijah, neither a prophet?"

John answered them, saying, "I baptise with water: but one is come among you, whom ye know not.

And they which were sent, were of the Pharisees.

and I knew him not: but that he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptising with water.'"

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John did baptise.

And of his fullness have all we received, even grace for grace.

The day following, Jesus would go into Galilee, and found Philip, and said unto him, "Follow me."

But he that sent me to baptise in water, the same said unto me, 'Upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descend, and tarry still on him, the same is he which baptiseth with the holy ghost.'

He it is that cometh after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose."

And Philip found Nathaniel, and said unto him, "We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets, did write: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth."

This is he of whom I said, 'After me cometh a man, which went before me. For he was before me,

And brought him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him and said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

And John bare record, saying, "I saw the spirit descend from heaven, like unto a dove, and abide upon him, and I knew him not:

The same found his brother Simon first, and said unto him, "We have found Messiah," which is by interpretation, Anointed.

And Jesus turned about, and saw them follow, and said unto them, "What seek ye?" They said unto him, "Rabbi," which is to say, by interpretation, "Master: where dwellest thou?"

and he beheld Jesus as he walked by, and said, "Behold the lamb of God."

He said 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.

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

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

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

Nathanael said unto him, "From where knowest thou me?" Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee."

And he said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending, and descending over the son of man."

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

Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, thou art the son of God; Thou art the King of Israel."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, "Behold a right Israelite, in whom is no guile."

One of the two, which heard John speak, and followed Jesus, was Andrew; Simon Peter's brother.

And they asked him, "What then? Art thou Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." Art thou that prophet? And he answered, "No."

He said, "I am the voice of a crier in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah."

John bare witness of him and cried, saying, "This was he of whom I spake, which though he came after me, went before me: for he was before me."

And I saw it, and bare record, that this is the son of God."
