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.’” |
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. |
