26114 | JHN 1:1 | In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
26115 | JHN 1:2 | He was in the beginning with God. |
26116 | JHN 1:3 | Everything was made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. |
26117 | JHN 1:4 | In Him was life, and that life was the light of mankind. |
26118 | JHN 1:5 | The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness hasn’t overcome it. |
26119 | JHN 1:6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. |
26120 | JHN 1:7 | This man came as a witness, to testify about the light, that all through him might believe. |
26121 | JHN 1:8 | He wasn’t that light, but was sent as a witness of that light. |
26122 | JHN 1:9 | The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. |
26123 | JHN 1:10 | The Word was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world didn’t recognize Him. |
26124 | JHN 1:11 | He came to His own, and those who were His own didn’t receive Him. |
26125 | JHN 1:12 | But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in His name: |
26126 | JHN 1:13 | who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
26127 | JHN 1:14 | The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. |
26128 | JHN 1:15 | John testified about Him. He cried out, saying, “This was He who I told you about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’” |
26129 | JHN 1:16 | From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. |
26130 | JHN 1:17 | The Law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
26131 | JHN 1:18 | No one has ever seen God, but God’s only born Son, who is near to the heart of His Father, has made Him known. |
26132 | JHN 1:19 | Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” |
26133 | JHN 1:20 | He confessed, and didn’t deny, but confessed, “I’m not the Christ.” |
26134 | JHN 1:21 | They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” |
26135 | JHN 1:22 | Then they asked him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” |
26136 | JHN 1:23 | John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’” |
26137 | JHN 1:24 | Now those who were sent were Pharisees. |
26138 | JHN 1:25 | They asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” |
26139 | JHN 1:26 | John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water, but One stands among you that you don’t know. |
26140 | JHN 1:27 | It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to untie.” |
26141 | JHN 1:28 | This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
26142 | JHN 1:29 | The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Look! God’s Lamb who takes away the sin of the world! |
26143 | JHN 1:30 | This is the One I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me is preferred before me because He existed before me.’ |
26144 | JHN 1:31 | I didn’t know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.” |
26145 | JHN 1:32 | John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. |
26146 | JHN 1:33 | I wouldn’t have known Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘Whoever you see the Spirit descending upon, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ |
26147 | JHN 1:34 | I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Son.” |
26148 | JHN 1:35 | The next day, John again stood with two of His disciples. |
26149 | JHN 1:36 | When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, God’s Lamb!” |
26150 | JHN 1:37 | The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. |
26151 | JHN 1:38 | Jesus turned, and seeing them following, asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which, when translated, means Teacher), “Where are You staying?” |
26152 | JHN 1:39 | He told them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour. |
26153 | JHN 1:40 | Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. |
26154 | JHN 1:41 | The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother, Simon, and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, translated, the Christ). |
26155 | JHN 1:42 | Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter). |
26156 | JHN 1:43 | The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he told him, “Follow me.” |
26157 | JHN 1:44 | Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. |
26158 | JHN 1:45 | Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found Him who Moses in the Law, and also the prophets, wrote about — Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” |
26159 | JHN 1:46 | Nathanael asked Philip, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip told Nathanael, “Come and see.” |
26160 | JHN 1:47 | Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of Nathanael, “Look! An Israelite indeed, who has no deceit in him!” |
26161 | JHN 1:48 | Nathanael asked Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” |
26162 | JHN 1:49 | Nathanael answered, “Rabbi, You are God’s Son. You are the King of Israel.” |
26163 | JHN 1:50 | Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” |
26164 | JHN 1:51 | And He told him, “Most assuredly, I tell you, you will see Heaven opened, and God’s angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” |
26165 | JHN 2:1 | On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there. |
26166 | JHN 2:2 | Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. |
26167 | JHN 2:3 | When they ran out of wine, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They have no wine.” |
26168 | JHN 2:4 | Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My time has not yet come.” |
26169 | JHN 2:5 | His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” |
26170 | JHN 2:6 | Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding two to three metretes. |
26171 | JHN 2:7 | Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water,” so they filled them to the brim. |
26172 | JHN 2:8 | Then He told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, |
26173 | JHN 2:9 | and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He didn’t realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside |
26174 | JHN 2:10 | and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests have drunk freely, but you have saved the best till now!” |
26175 | JHN 2:11 | Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee. He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him. |
26176 | JHN 2:12 | After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days. |
26177 | JHN 2:13 | The time for the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
26178 | JHN 2:14 | He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. |
26179 | JHN 2:15 | When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. |
26180 | JHN 2:16 | He told those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father’s house a market place!” |
26181 | JHN 2:17 | Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.” |
26182 | JHN 2:18 | So the Jews answered and asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?” |
26183 | JHN 2:19 | Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” |
26184 | JHN 2:20 | Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” |
26185 | JHN 2:21 | But the temple He had spoken of was His body. |
26186 | JHN 2:22 | After He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled what He had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken. |
26187 | JHN 2:23 | Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs He was doing and believed in His name. |
26188 | JHN 2:24 | But Jesus didn’t commit Himself to them, because He knew all people, |
26189 | JHN 2:25 | and had no need for anyone to testify about people, for He knew what was in people. |
26190 | JHN 3:1 | There was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. |
26191 | JHN 3:2 | This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” |
26192 | JHN 3:3 | Jesus answered and told him, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born again, that person can’t see the kingdom of God.” |
26193 | JHN 3:4 | Nicodemus asked Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He can’t go back into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” |
26194 | JHN 3:5 | Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, that one can’t enter the Kingdom of God. |
26195 | JHN 3:6 | That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. |
26196 | JHN 3:7 | Don’t marvel that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’ |
26197 | JHN 3:8 | The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but can’t tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” |
26198 | JHN 3:9 | Nicodemus asked Him, “How can these things be?” |
26199 | JHN 3:10 | “Are you Israel’s teacher,” asked Jesus, “and yet you don’t understand these things? |
26200 | JHN 3:11 | Most assuredly, I tell you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness. |
26201 | JHN 3:12 | If I have told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? |
26202 | JHN 3:13 | No one has ever gone up into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven — the Son of Man. |
26203 | JHN 3:14 | Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, |
26204 | JHN 3:15 | that everyone who believes in Him should not die, but have eternal life. |
26205 | JHN 3:16 | For God so sincerely loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. |
26206 | JHN 3:17 | For God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. |
26207 | JHN 3:18 | Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever doesn’t believe is condemned already because that person has not believed in the name of God’s only Son. |
26208 | JHN 3:19 | This is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, but people sincerely loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. |
26209 | JHN 3:20 | Everyone who practices evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that their deeds will be exposed. |
26210 | JHN 3:21 | Whoever practices the truth comes to the light to show clearly that their deeds have been done with God.” |
26211 | JHN 3:22 | After this, Jesus and His disciples went out into the countryside of Judea, where He remained with them, and baptized. |
26212 | JHN 3:23 | John was also baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there, and people kept coming to be baptized. |
26213 | JHN 3:24 | John had not yet been thrown into prison. |
