6
There was a man sent from God, whose name
was
John.
7
The same came for a witness, to
bear witness of the Light, that all
men
through him might believe.
8
He was not that Light, but
was
sent
to bear witness of that Light.
9
That
was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
into the world.
10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him
not.
11
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12
But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even
to them that believe on his name:
13
Which
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14
And the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh
after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16
And of his fulness have all we received,
and grace for grace.
17
For the law was given by Moses,
but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father,
he hath declared
him.
19
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask
him, Who art thou?
20
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21
And
they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he
answered, No.
22
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that
sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23
He said, I
am
the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24
And they which were sent were
of the Pharisees.
25
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not
that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water:
but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27
He it is, who coming after me is preferred
before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28
These things were done in Bethabara
beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world.
30
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.
31
And I knew him not: but that he should be made
manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32
And John bare record, saying, I
saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33
And I knew him not:
but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the
Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36
And looking upon Jesus as
he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they
followed Jesus.
38
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them,
What seek ye?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39
He
saith unto them,
Come and see.
They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day:
