John 1

English Standard Version



1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (Ge 1:1; Joh 17:5; Php 2:6; Col 1:17; Heb 4:12; 1Jo 1:1; 1Jo 1:2; Re 1:4; Re 1:8; Re 1:17; Re 3:14; Re 19:13; Re 21:6; Re 22:13) 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (Ps 33:6; Joh 1:10; 1Co 8:6; Col 1:16; Heb 1:2) 4 In him was life,[1] and the life was the light of men. (Joh 5:26; Joh 8:12; Joh 9:5; Joh 11:25; Joh 12:46; 1Jo 1:2; 1Jo 5:11) 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (Joh 3:19) 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. (Mal 3:1; Mt 3:1; Mr 1:4; Lu 3:2; Joh 1:33; Joh 3:28) 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. (Joh 3:26; Joh 5:33; Ac 19:4) 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. (Joh 1:20) 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. (Isa 49:6; 1Jo 2:8) 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. (Joh 16:3; 1Jo 3:1) 11 He came to his own,[2] and his own people[3] did not receive him. (Mt 21:38; Joh 3:11; Joh 3:32; Joh 5:43; Joh 13:1) 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, (Mt 5:45; Joh 11:52; Ga 3:26; 1Jo 3:1; 1Jo 5:1; 1Jo 5:13) 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (Joh 3:3; Joh 3:6; Jas 1:18; 1Pe 1:3; 1Pe 1:23) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[4] from the Father, full of grace and truth. (Lu 9:32; Joh 1:1; Joh 1:7; Joh 2:11; Joh 6:51; Joh 14:6; Ro 1:3; Ro 8:3; Ga 4:4; Php 2:7; Col 1:22; 1Ti 3:16; Heb 2:14; 2Pe 1:16; 1Jo 1:1; 1Jo 4:2; 1Jo 4:14; 2Jo 1:7; Re 7:15; Re 21:3) 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) (Mt 3:11; Joh 1:7; Joh 1:27; Joh 1:30) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.[5] (Mt 25:29; Eph 1:23; Eph 3:19; Eph 4:13; Col 1:19; Col 2:9) 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (Ex 20:1; Joh 1:14; Joh 7:19; Ro 5:21) 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God,[6] who is at the Father’s side,[7] he has made him known. (Ex 33:20; Mt 11:27; Joh 1:14; Joh 3:16; Joh 3:32; Joh 5:37; Joh 6:46; Joh 12:45; Col 1:15; 1Ti 6:16; 1Jo 4:12; 1Jo 4:20) 



19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” (Joh 3:26; Joh 8:25) 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” (Lu 3:15; Joh 1:8; Joh 3:28; Ac 13:25) 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” (De 18:15; De 18:18; Mt 11:14; Mt 16:14) 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight[8] the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” (Isa 40:3; Mt 3:3) 24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” (Mt 3:6; Mr 1:4; Lu 3:3; Lu 3:7) 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, (Mt 3:11; Mr 1:7; Lu 3:16; Ac 1:5; Ac 13:25) 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” (Joh 1:15; Joh 1:30) 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. 



29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (Ge 22:8; Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7; Joh 1:36; Joh 3:16; Joh 4:42; Joh 12:47; Ac 8:32; Heb 10:4; Heb 10:11; 1Pe 1:19; 1Jo 2:2; 1Jo 3:5; 1Jo 4:14; Re 5:6) 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ (Joh 1:15; Joh 1:27) 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” (Lu 1:17; Lu 1:76) 32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. (Isa 11:2; Mt 3:16; Mr 1:10; Lu 3:22; Joh 1:7; Ac 10:38) 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ (Mt 3:11; Mr 1:8; Lu 3:2; Lu 3:16; Joh 1:6; Joh 3:5; Ac 1:5) 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[9] of God.” 



35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” (Joh 1:29) 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (Mr 10:51; Joh 1:49; Joh 3:2; Joh 3:26; Joh 6:25; Joh 18:4; Joh 18:7; Joh 20:15; Joh 20:16) 39 He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.[10] 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus[11] was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. (Mt 4:18; Mr 1:16; Lu 5:2) 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). (Joh 4:25) 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter[12]). (Mt 16:18; Joh 21:15; 1Co 1:12; 1Co 3:22) 



43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” (Joh 1:28; Joh 1:35; Joh 2:1) 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. (Joh 12:21) 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” (Mt 2:23; Lu 3:23; Lu 16:16; Lu 24:27; Joh 6:42; Joh 21:2) 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” (Joh 7:41; Joh 7:52) 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” (Ps 32:2; Ps 73:1; Zep 3:13; Ro 9:4; Ro 9:6; Re 14:5) 48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” (Joh 2:24) 49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” (Zep 3:15; Zec 9:9; Mt 27:11; Mt 27:42; Joh 1:38; Joh 6:69; Joh 11:27; Joh 12:13; Joh 20:28) 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,[13] you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” (Ge 28:12; Eze 1:1; Da 7:13; Mt 3:16; Lu 3:21)

الكتاب المقدس



1 فِي الْبَدْءِ كَانَ الْكَلِمَةُ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللهِ. وَكَانَ الْكَلِمَةُ اللهُ. 2 هَذَا كَانَ فِي الْبَدْءِ عِنْدَ اللهِ. 3 بِهِ تَكَوَّنَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَبِغَيْرِهِ لَمْ يَتَكَوَّنْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا تَكَوَّنَ. 4 فِيهِ كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ. وَالْحَيَاةُ كَانَتِ نُورَ النَّاسِ. 5 وَالنُّورُ يُضِيءُ فِي الظَّلامِ، وَالظَّلامُ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ النُّورَ. 6 ظَهَرَ إِنْسَانٌ أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ، اسْمُهُ يُوحَنَّا، 7 جَاءَ يَشْهَدُ لِلنُّورِ، لِكَيْ يُؤْمِنَ الْجَمِيعُ بِوَاسِطَتِهِ. 8 لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ النُّورَ، بَلْ كَانَ شَاهِداً لِلنُّورِ، 9 فَالنُّورُ الْحَقُّ الَّذِي يُنِيرُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ آتِياً إِلَى الْعَالَمِ. 10 كَانَ فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَبِهِ تَكَوَّنَ الْعَالَمُ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ الْعَالَمُ. 11 وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلاءِ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوهُ. 12 أَمَّا الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوهُ، أَيِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاسْمِهِ، فَقَدْ مَنَحَهُمُ الْحَقَّ فِي أَنْ يَصِيرُوا أَوْلادَ اللهِ، 13 وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَيْسَ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلا مِنْ رَغْبَةِ جَسَدٍ، وَلا مِنْ رَغْبَةِ بَشَرٍ، بَلْ مِنَ اللهِ. 14 وَالْكَلِمَةُ صَارَ بَشَراً، وَخَيَّمَ بَيْنَنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَأَيْنَا مَجْدَهُ، مَجْدَ ابْنٍ وَحِيدٍ عِنْدَ الآبِ، وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِىءٌ بِالنِّعْمَةِ وَالْحَقِّ. 15 شَهِدَ لَهُ يُوحَنَّا فَهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ الآتِيَ بَعْدِي مُتَقَدِّمٌ عَلَيَّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوْجَدَ». 16 فَمِنِ امْتِلائِهِ أَخَذْنَا جَمِيعُنَا وَنِلْنَا نِعْمَةً عَلَى نِعْمَةٍ، 17 لأَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ أُعْطِيَتْ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى، أَمَّا النِّعْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ فَقَدْ تَوَاجَدَا بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. 18 مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ رَأَى اللهَ قَطُّ. وَلَكِنَّ الابْنَ الْوَحِيدَ، الَّذِي فِي حِضْنِ الآبِ، هُوَ الَّذِي خَبَّرَ عَنْهُ. 



19 وَهذِهِ شَهَادَةُ يُوحَنَّا حِينَ أَرْسَلَ الْيَهُودُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْضَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتْ؟» 20 فَاعْتَرَفَ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ، بَلْ أَكَّدَ قَائِلاً: «لَسْتُ أَنَا الْمَسِيحَ». 21 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «مَاذَا إِذَنْ؟ هَلْ أَنْتَ إِيلِيَّا؟» قَالَ: «لَسْتُ إِيَّاهُ!». «أَوَ أَنْتَ النَّبِيُّ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لا!» 22 فَقَالُوا: «فَمَنْ أَنْتَ، لِنَحْمِلَ الْجَوَابَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُونَا؟ مَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ؟» 23 فَقَالَ «أَنَا صَوْتُ مُنَادٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ: اجْعَلُوا الطَّرِيقَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ إِشَعْيَاءُ». 24 وَكَانَ هؤُلاءِ مُرْسَلِينَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، 25 فَعَادُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ، وَلا إِيلِيَّا، وَلا النَّبِيَّ، فَلِمَاذَا تُعَمِّدُ إِذَنْ؟» 26 أَجَابَ: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُ بِالْمَاءِ! وَلكِنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ، 27 وَهُوَ الآتِي بَعْدِي، وَأَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَحُلَّ رِبَاطَ حِذَائِهِ». 28 هَذَا جَرَى فِي بَيْتَ عَنْيَا، عَبْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ. 



29 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي رَأَى يُوحَنَّا يَسُوعَ آتِياً نَحْوَهُ، فَهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ حَمَلُ اللهِ الَّذِي يُزِيلُ خَطِيئَةَ الْعَالَمِ. 30 هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ الآتِيَ بَعْدِي مُتَقَدِّمٌ عَلَيَّ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوْجَدَ. 31 وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ وَلَكِنِّي جِئْتُ أُعَمِّدُ بِالْمَاءِ لِكَيْ يُعْلَنَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ». 32 ثُمَّ شَهِدَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ الرُّوحَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِهَيْئَةِ حَمَامَةٍ وَيَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ. 33 وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ، وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي لأُعَمِّدَ بِالْمَاءِ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: الَّذِي تَرَى الرُّوحَ يَنْزِلُ وَيَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيُعَمِّدُ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. 34 فَإِذْ شَاهَدْتُ هَذَا، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ». 



35 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا وَاقِفاً هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً وَمَعَهُ اثْنَانِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ، 36 فَنَظَرَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَهُوَ سَائِرٌ فَقَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ حَمَلُ اللهِ». 37 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التِّلْمِيذَانِ كَلامَهُ تَبِعَا يَسُوعَ. 38 وَالْتَفَتَ يَسُوعُ فَرَآهُمَا يَتْبَعَانِهِ، فَسَأَلَهُمَا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ؟» فَقَالا: «رَابِّي، أَيْ يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَيْنَ تُقِيمُ؟» 39 أَجَابَهُمَا: «تَعَالَيَا وَانْظُرَا». فَرَافَقَاهُ وَرَأَيَا مَحَلَّ إِقَامَتِهِ، وَأَقَامَا مَعَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ؛ وَكَانَتِ السَّاعَةُ نَحْوَ الرَّابِعَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ. 40 وَكَانَ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُو سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ أَحَدَ هَذَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ تَبِعَا يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا سَمِعَا كَلامَ يُوحَنَّا، 41 فَمَا إِنْ وَجَدَ أَخَاهُ سِمْعَانَ، حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا الْمَسِيَّا» أَيِ الْمَسِيحَ. 42 وَاقْتَادَهُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ. فَنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ مَلِيًّا إِلَى سِمْعَانَ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ سِمْعَانُ بْنُ يُونَا، وَلَكِنِّي سَأَدْعُوكَ: صَفَا» أَيْ صَخْراً. 



43 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي نَوَى يَسُوعُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، فَوَجَدَ فِيلِبُّسَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اتْبَعْنِي!» 44 وَكَانَ فِيلِبُّسُ مِنْ بَيْتَ صَيْدَا، بَلْدَةِ أَنْدَرَاوُسَ وَبُطْرُسَ. 45 ثُمَّ وَجَدَ فِيلِبُّسُ نَثَنَائِيلَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا الَّذِي كَتَبَ عَنْهُ مُوسَى فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ فِي كُتُبِهِمْ وَهُوَ يَسُوعُ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ». 46 فَقَالَ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «وَهَلْ يَطْلُعُ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ؟» أَجَابَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «تَعَالَ وَانْظُرْ!» 47 وَرَأَى يَسُوعُ نَثَنَائِيلَ قَادِماً نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ عَنْهُ: «هَذَا إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ أَصِيلٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ!» 48 فَسَأَلَهُ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «وَمِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْرِفُنِي؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ التِّينَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَكَ فِيلِبُّسُ». 49 فَهَتَفَ نَثَنَائِيلُ قَائِلاً: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَنْتَ ابْنُ اللهِ! أَنْتَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ!» 50 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هَلْ آمَنْتَ لأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ التِّينَةِ؟ سَوْفَ تَرَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا!» 51 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَمَلائِكَةَ اللهِ يَصْعَدُونَ وَيَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ!»
