KJV · ← Prev Next →

1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. InG1722 beginningG746 wasG2258 WordG3056 andG2532 WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316 andG2532 WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316

2 The same was in the beginning with God. sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. thingsG3956 madeG1096 byG1223 himG846 andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 madeG1096

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. InG1722 himG846 wasG2258 lifeG2222 andG2532 lifeG2222 wasG2258 lightG5457 menG444

5 ¶ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. AndG2532 lightG5457 shinethG5316 inG1722 darknessG4653 andG2532 darknessG4653 comprehendedG2638 itG846 notG3756

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. wasG1096 manG444 sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316 whoseG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 witnessG3141 toG2443 witnessG3140 ofG4012 LightG5457 thatG2443 allG3956 throughG1223 himG846 believeG4100

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. wasG2258 notG3756 thatG1565 LightG5457 butG235 toG2443 witnessG3140 ofG4012 LightG5457

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. wasG2258 trueG228 LightG5457 whichG3739 lightethG5461 manG3956 manG444 comethG2064 intoG1519 worldG2889

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. wasG2258 inG1722 worldG2889 andG2532 worldG2889 madeG1096 byG1223 himG846 andG2532 worldG2889 knewG1097 himG846 notG3756

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. cameG2064 untoG1519 ownG2398 andG2532 ownG2398 receivedG3880 himG846 notG3756

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: ButG1161 asG3745 receivedG2983 himG846 themG846 heG1325 powerG1849 becomeG1096 sonsG5043 GodG2316 believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3686

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. WhichG3739 bornG1080 notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129 norG3761 ofG1537 willG2307 fleshG4561 norG3761 ofG1537 willG2307 manG435 butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316

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. AndG2532 WordG3056 madeG1096 fleshG4561 andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254 andG2532 beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391 gloryG1391 asG5613 begottenG3439 ofG3844 FatherG3962 fullG4134 graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225

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. JohnG2491 witnessG3140 ofG4012 himG846 andG2532 criedG2896 sayingG3004 ThisG3778 heG2258 whomG3739 spakeG2036 comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450 forG3754 wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983 andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. ForG3754 lawG3551 givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475 graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547

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. manG3762 seenG3708 GodG2316 timeG4455 begottenG3439 SonG5207 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 bosomG2859 FatherG3962 heG1565 declaredG1834

19 ¶ And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 recordG3141 JohnG2491 whenG3753 JewsG2453 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 fromG1537 JerusalemG2414 toG2443 askG2065 himG846 WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771

20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. AndG2532 confessedG3670 andG2532 deniedG720 notG3756 butG2532 confessedG3670 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 ChristG5547

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. AndG2532 askedG2065 himG846 WhatG5101 thenG3767 ArtG1488 thouG4771 EliasG2243 AndG2532 saithG3004 amG1510 notG3756 ArtG1488 thouG4771 prophetG4396 AndG2532 answeredG611 NoG3756

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? ThenG3767 theyG2036 himG846 WhoG5101 thouG1488 thatG2443 giveG1325 answerG612 sentG3992 usG2248 WhatG5101 thouG3004 ofG4012 thyselfG4572

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. saidG5346 IG1473 voiceG5456 cryingG994 inG1722 wildernessG2048 straightG2116 wayG3598 LordG2962 asG2531 saidG2036 prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. AndG2532 whichG3588 sentG649 wereG2258 ofG1537 PhariseesG5330

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? AndG2532 askedG2065 himG846 andG2532 saidG2036 himG846 WhyG5101 thouG907 thenG3767 ifG1487 thouG4771 beG1488 notG3756 ChristG5547 norG3777 EliasG2243 neitherG3777 prophetG4396

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; JohnG2491 answeredG611 themG846 sayingG3004 IG1473 baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204 butG1161 oneG2476 amongG3319 youG5216 whomG3739 yeG5210 knowG1492 notG3756

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. HeG846 isG2076 whoG3739 comingG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450 whoseG3739 whoseG846 shoe'sG5266 latchetG2438 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 unlooseG3089

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. thingsG5023 doneG1096 inG1722 BethabaraG962 beyondG4008 JordanG2446 whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG2258 baptizingG907

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. dayG1887 JohnG2491 seethG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 untoG4314 himG846 andG2532 saithG3004 BeholdG2396 LambG286 GodG2316 whichG3588 awayG142 sinG266 worldG2889

30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. ThisG3778 heG2076 ofG4012 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG2036 AfterG3694 meG3450 comethG2064 manG435 whichG3739 preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450 forG3754 wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450

31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756 butG235 thatG2443 manifestG5319 IsraelG2474 thereforeG1223 thereforeG5124 amG2064 IG1473 comeG2064 baptizingG907 withG1722 waterG5204

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. AndG2532 JohnG2491 recordG3140 sayingG3004 sawG2300 SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 doveG4058 andG2532 abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846

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. IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756 butG235 sentG3992 meG3165 baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204 sameG1565 saidG2036 meG3427 UponG1909 whomG3739 whomG302 seeG1492 SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846 sameG3778 isG2076 baptizethG907 withG1722 HolyG40 GhostG4151

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. IG2504 sawG3708 andG2532 recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 SonG5207 GodG2316

35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; AgainG3825 afterG1887 JohnG2491 stoodG2476 andG2532 twoG1417 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101

36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! AndG2532 uponG1689 JesusG2424 walkedG4043 saithG3004 BeholdG2396 LambG286 GodG2316

37 ¶ And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. AndG2532 twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 himG846 speakG2980 andG2532 followedG190 JesusG2424

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? ThenG1161 JesusG2424 turnedG4762 andG2532 sawG2300 themG846 followingG190 saithG3004 themG846 WhatG5101 yeG2212 saidG2036 himG846 RabbiG4461 whichG3739 sayG3004 interpretedG2059 MasterG1320 whereG4226 thouG3306

39 He saith unto them, ‹Come and see.› They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. saithG3004 themG846 ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492 cameG2064 andG2532 sawG1492 whereG4226 dweltG3306 andG2532 abodeG3306 withG3844 himG846 thatG1565 dayG2250 forG1161 wasG2258 aboutG5613 tenthG1182 hourG5610

40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. OneG1520 ofG1537 twoG1417 whichG3588 heardG191 heardG3844 JohnG2491 andG2532 followedG190 himG846 wasG2258 AndrewG406 SimonG4613 Peter'sG4074 brotherG80

41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. HeG3778 firstG4413 findethG2147 ownG2398 brotherG80 SimonG4613 andG2532 saithG3004 himG846 foundG2147 MessiasG3323 whichG3739 isG2076 interpretedG3177 ChristG5547

42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, ‹Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas,› which is by interpretation, A stone. AndG2532 broughtG71 himG846 toG4314 JesusG2424 AndG1161 JesusG2424 beheldG1689 himG846 saidG2036 ThouG4771 artG1488 SimonG4613 sonG5207 JonaG2495 thouG4771 calledG2564 CephasG2786 whichG3739 interpretationG2059 stoneG4074

43 ¶ The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, ‹Follow me.› followingG1887 JesusG2424 wouldG2309 forthG1831 intoG1519 GalileeG1056 andG2532 findethG2147 PhilipG5376 andG2532 saithG3004 himG846 FollowG190 meG3427

44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. NowG1161 PhilipG5376 wasG2258 ofG575 BethsaidaG966 cityG4172 ofG1537 AndrewG406 andG2532 PeterG4074

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. PhilipG5376 findethG2147 NathanaelG3482 andG2532 saithG3004 himG846 foundG2147 whomG3739 MosesG3475 inG1722 lawG3551 andG2532 prophetsG4396 writeG1125 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 sonG5207 JosephG2501

46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. AndG2532 NathanaelG3482 saidG2036 himG846 CanG1410 anyG5100 thingG18 comeG1511 ofG1537 NazarethG3478 PhilipG5376 saithG3004 himG846 ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, ‹Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!› JesusG2424 sawG1492 NathanaelG3482 comingG2064 toG4314 himG846 andG2532 saithG3004 ofG4012 himG846 BeholdG2396 IsraeliteG2475 indeedG230 inG1722 whomG3739 isG2076 noG3756 guileG1388

48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, ‹Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.› NathanaelG3482 saithG3004 himG846 WhenceG4159 thouG1097 meG3165 JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 himG846 BeforeG4253 PhilipG5376 calledG5455 theeG4571 wastG5607 underG5259 treeG4808 sawG1492 theeG4571

49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. NathanaelG3482 answeredG611 andG2532 saithG3004 himG846 RabbiG4461 thouG4771 artG1488 SonG5207 GodG2316 thouG4771 artG1488 KingG935 IsraelG2474

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, ‹Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.› JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 himG846 BecauseG3754 saidG2036 theeG4671 sawG1492 theeG4571 underG5270 treeG4808 thouG4100 seeG3700 thingsG3187 theseG5130

51 And he saith unto him, ‹Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.› AndG2532 saithG3004 himG846 VerilyG281 verilyG281 sayG3004 youG5213 HereafterG737 HereafterG575 seeG3700 heavenG3772 openG455 andG2532 angelsG32 GodG2316 ascendingG305 andG2532 descendingG2597 uponG1909 SonG5207 manG444
