1John 1

CHAP. I. / 1 The Diuinitie, Humanitie, and Office of Iesus Christ. 15 The testimonie of Iohn. 39 The calling of Andrew, Peter, &c.

1In the beginning was the Word, & 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 by him, and without him was not any thing made that was 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 darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not.Select John 1:5

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

7The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the light, that all men through him might beleeue.Select John 1:7

8Hee was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.Select John 1:8

9That was the true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.Select John 1:9

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

11Hee came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.Select John 1:11

12But as many as receiued him, to them gaue hee power to become the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue on his Name:Select John 1:12

13Which were borne, 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 was made flesh, and dwelt among vs (& we beheld his glory, the glory as of the onely begotten of the Father) full of grace and trueth.Select John 1:14

15Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that commeth after me, is preferred before me, for he was before me.Select John 1:15

16And of his fulnesse haue all wee receiued, and grace for grace.Select John 1:16

17For the Law was giuen by Moses, but grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ.Select John 1:17

18No man hath seene God at any time: the onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.Select John 1:18

19And this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priests and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?Select John 1:19

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

21And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And hee answered, No.Select John 1:21

22Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?Select John 1:22

23He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wildernesse: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.Select John 1:23

24And they which were sent, were of the Pharises.Select John 1:24

25And they asked him, and said vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet?Select John 1:25

26Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not,Select John 1:26

27He it is, who comming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose.Select John 1:27

28These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordane, where Iohn was baptizing.Select John 1:28

29The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Behold the Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.Select John 1:29

30This is he of whom I said, After me commeth a man, which is preferred 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, therfore am I come baptizing with water.Select John 1:31

32And Iohn bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heauen, like a Doue, and it abode vpon him.Select John 1:32

33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said vnto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, & remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.Select John 1:33

34And I saw, and bare record, that this is the sonne of God.Select John 1:34

35Againe the next day after, Iohn stood, and two of his disciples.Select John 1:35

36And looking vpon Iesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lambe of God.Select John 1:36

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

38Then Iesus turned, and saw them following, and saith vnto them, What seeke ye? They said vnto him, Rabbi, (which is to say being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou?Select John 1:38

39He saith vnto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.Select John 1:39

40One of the two which heard Iohn speake, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peters brother.Select John 1:40

41He first findeth his owne brother Simon, and saith vnto him, We haue found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.Select John 1:41

42And he brought him to Iesus. And when Iesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.Select John 1:42

43The day following, Iesus would goe foorth into Galilee, & findeth Philip, & saith vnto him, Follow me.Select John 1:43

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

45Philip findeth Nathaneel, and saith vnto him, We haue found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets did write, Iesus of Nazareth the sonne of Ioseph.Select John 1:45

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

47Iesus saw Nathaneel comming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile.Select John 1:47

48Nathaneel sayeth vnto him, Whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I saw thee.Select John 1:48

49Nathaneel answered, and saith vnto him, Rabbi, thou art the Sonne of God, thou art the king of Israel.Select John 1:49

50Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Because I said vnto thee, I saw thee vnder the figge tree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.Select John 1:50

51And hee saith vnto him, Uerily, verily I say vnto you, heereafter yee shall see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon the sonne of man.Select John 1:51
