13 Which were born, not o f blood, nor o f the will o f the flesh, nor o f the will o f man, but o f God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as o f the only begotten o f the Father,) full o f grace and truths 15 John bare witness o f him, and cried, saying, This was he o f whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for he was before me. 16 And o f his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 N o man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom o f the Father, he hath declared him. 19 And this is the record o f John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 20 And he confessed, and denied not; but con fessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No. 22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou o f thyself? 23 He said, I am the voice o f one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way o f the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 24 And they which were sent were o f the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 28 These things were done in Bethabara be yond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb o f God, which taketh away the sin o f the world! 3 0 This is he o f whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me; for he was before me. 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be
made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 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 bap- tizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son o f God. 3 5 Again the next day after, John stood, and two o f his disciples; 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb o f God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them follow ing, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 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. 40 One o f the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son o f Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. 43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. 44 N ow Philip was o f Bethsaida, the city o f Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, o f whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus o f Nazar eth, the son o f Joseph. 46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out o f Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith o f him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence know-
