John 1
English: American Standard Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
8 He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
16 For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
24 And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, 27 [even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.
34 And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples; 36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
40 One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
