John 1

Back-translate

1

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

uploaded

2

The same was in the beginning with God.

uploaded

3

All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

uploaded

4

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

uploaded

5

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

uploaded

6

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

uploaded

7

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

uploaded

8

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

uploaded

9

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

uploaded

10

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.

uploaded

11

He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

uploaded

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:

uploaded

13

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

uploaded

14

The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

uploaded

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.’”

uploaded

16

From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

uploaded

17

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

uploaded

18

No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

uploaded

19

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

uploaded

20

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

uploaded

21

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”

uploaded

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?”

uploaded

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.”

uploaded

24

The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

uploaded

25

They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

uploaded

26

John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

uploaded

27

He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

uploaded

28

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

uploaded

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!

uploaded

30

This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

uploaded

31

I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”

uploaded

32-33

John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

uploaded

33

I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

Translated together with verse 32 above.

34

I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

uploaded

35

Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,

uploaded

36

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

uploaded

37

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

uploaded

38

Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “\+w What|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w looking|strong="G2212"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1161"\+w*?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”

uploaded

39

He said to them, “\+w Come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w see|strong="G3708"\+w*.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

uploaded

40

One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

uploaded

41

He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

43-44

On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.”

uploaded

44

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

Translated together with verse 43 above.

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.”

uploaded

46

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
