1John 1

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.Select John 1:1

2The same was in the beginning with God.Select John 1:2

3All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.Select John 1:3

4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.Select John 1:4

5And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.Select John 1:5

6There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.Select John 1:6

7The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.Select John 1:7

8He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light.Select John 1:8

9There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world.Select John 1:9

10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.Select John 1:10

11He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.Select John 1:11

12But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:Select John 1:12

13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.Select John 1:13

14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.Select John 1:14

15John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.Select John 1:15

16For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.Select John 1:16

17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.Select John 1:17

18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.Select John 1:18

19And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?Select John 1:19

20And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.Select John 1:20

21And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.Select John 1:21

22They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?Select John 1:22

23He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.Select John 1:23

24And they had been sent from the Pharisees.Select John 1:24

25And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?Select John 1:25

26John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,Select John 1:26

27even he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.Select John 1:27

28These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.Select John 1:28

29On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!Select John 1:29

30This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.Select John 1:30

31And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.Select John 1:31

32And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.Select John 1:32

33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.Select John 1:33

34And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.Select John 1:34

35Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;Select John 1:35

36and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!Select John 1:36

37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.Select John 1:37

38And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou?Select John 1:38

39He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.Select John 1:39

40One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.Select John 1:40

41He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).Select John 1:41

42He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).Select John 1:42

43On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.Select John 1:43

44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.Select John 1:44

45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.Select John 1:45

46And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.Select John 1:46

47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!Select John 1:47

48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.Select John 1:48

49Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.Select John 1:49

50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.Select John 1:50

51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.Select John 1:51
