26114 | JHN 1:1 | In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
26116 | JHN 1:3 | Everything was made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. |
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. |
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.’ |
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?” |
