John Chapter 1

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Joh 1:7 The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the light, that all men through him might beleeue.
Joh 1:8 Hee was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Joh 1:9 That was the true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Joh 1:10 Hee was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 Hee came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as receiued him, to them gaue hee power to become the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue on his Name:
Joh 1:13 Which were borne, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And 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.
Joh 1:15 Iohn 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.
Joh 1:16 And of his fulnesse haue all wee receiued, and grace for grace.
Joh 1:17 For the Law was giuen by Moses, but grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seene God at any time: the onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
Joh 1:19 And this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priests and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Joh 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not: but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Joh 1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And hee answered, No.
Joh 1:22 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
Joh 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wildernesse: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
Joh 1:24 And they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Joh 1:25 And they asked him, and said vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet?
Joh 1:26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not,
Joh 1:27 He it is, who comming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose.
Joh 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordane, where Iohn was baptizing.
Joh 1:29 The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Behold the Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
Joh 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me commeth a man, which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Joh 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therfore am I come baptizing with water.
Joh 1:32 And Iohn bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heauen, like a Doue, and it abode vpon him.
Joh 1:33 And 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.
Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record, that this is the sonne of God.
Joh 1:35 Againe the next day after, Iohn stood, and two of his disciples.
Joh 1:36 And looking vpon Iesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lambe of God.
Joh 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and they followed Iesus.
Joh 1:38 Then 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?
Joh 1:39 He 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.
Joh 1:40 One of the two which heard Iohn speake, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peters brother.
Joh 1:41 He first findeth his owne brother Simon, and saith vnto him, We haue found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Joh 1:42 And 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.
Joh 1:43 The day following, Iesus would goe foorth into Galilee, & findeth Philip, & saith vnto him, Follow me.
Joh 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Joh 1:45 Philip 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.
Joh 1:46 And Nathaneel said vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith vnto him, Come and see.
Joh 1:47 Iesus saw Nathaneel comming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile.
Joh 1:48 Nathaneel 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.
Joh 1:49 Nathaneel answered, and saith vnto him, Rabbi, thou art the Sonne of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Joh 1:50 Iesus 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.
Joh 1:51 And 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.
