John 1 (WEBP)

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[3] All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
[4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
[5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome§ it.
[6] There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7] The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
[8] He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
[9] The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
[10] He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
[11] He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
[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:
[13] who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14] The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born§ Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
[15] John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’ ”
[16] From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
[17] For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.°
[18] No one has seen God at any time. The only born§ Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
[19] This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
[20] He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
[21] They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
[22] They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
[23] He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
[24] The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
[25] They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
[26] John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
[27] He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
[28] These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
[29] The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold,§ the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
[30] This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
[31] I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
[32] John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
[33] I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
[34] I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
[35] Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
[36] and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
[37] The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
[38] Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
[39] He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.°
[40] One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
[41] He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ°).
[42] He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).°
[43] On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
[44] Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
[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.”
[46] Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
[47] Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
[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.”
[49] Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
[50] Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
[51] He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

John 1:5 The word translated “overcome” (κατέλαβεν) can also be translated “comprehended.” It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him.
John 1:14 The phrase “only born” is from the Greek word “μονογενους”, which is sometimes translated “only begotten” or “one and only”.
John 1:17 “Christ” means “Anointed One”.
John 1:18a The phrase “only born” is from the Greek word “μονογενη”, which is sometimes translated “only begotten” or “one and only”.
John 1:18b NU reads “God”
John 1:23 Isaiah 40:3
John 1:29 “Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.
John 1:39 4:00 p.m.
John 1:41 “Messiah” (Hebrew) and “Christ” (Greek) both mean “Anointed One”.
John 1:42 “Cephas” (Aramaic) and “Peter” (Greek) both mean “Rock”.

John 1 (KJVS)

[1] In G1722 the beginning G746 was G2258 (ImpfInd) the Word G3056, and G2532 the Word G3056 was G2258 (ImpfInd) with G4314 God G2316, and G2532 the Word G3056 was G2258 (ImpfInd) God G2316.
[2] The same G3778 was G2258 (ImpfInd) in G1722 the beginning G746 with G4314 God G2316.
[3] All things G3956 were made G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) by G1223 him G846; and G2532 without G5565 him G846 was G1096 not G3761 any thing G1520 made G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) that G3739 was made G1096 (Perf2ActInd).
[4] In G1722 him G846 was G2258 (ImpfInd) life G2222; and G2532 the life G2222 was G2258 (ImpfInd) the light G5457 of men G444.
[5] And G2532 the light G5457 shineth G5316 (PresActInd) in G1722 darkness G4653; and G2532 the darkness G4653 comprehended G2638 (Aor2ActInd) it G846 not G3756.
[6] There was G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) a man G444 sent G649 (PerfPasPtc) from G3844 God G2316, whose G846 name G3686 [was] John G2491.
[7] The same G3778 came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) for G1519 a witness G3141, to G2443 bear witness G3140 (AorActSubj) of G4012 the Light G5457, that G2443 all G3956 [men] through G1223 him G846 might believe G4100 (AorActSubj).
[8] He was G2258 (ImpfInd) not G3756 that G1565 Light G5457, but G235 [was sent] to G2443 bear witness G3140 (AorActSubj) of G4012 that Light G5457.
[9] [That] was G2258 (ImpfInd) the true G228 Light G5457, which G3739 lighteth G5461 (PresActInd) every man G3956 G444 that cometh G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) into G1519 the world G2889.
[10] He was G2258 (ImpfInd) in G1722 the world G2889, and G2532 the world G2889 was made G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) by G1223 him G846, and G2532 the world G2889 knew G1097 (Aor2ActInd) him G846 not G3756.
[11] He came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) unto G1519 his own G2398, and G2532 his own G2398 received G3880 (Aor2ActInd) him G846 not G3756.
[12] But G1161 as many as G3745 received G2983 (Aor2ActInd) him G846, to them G846 gave he G1325 (AorActInd) power G1849 to become G1096 (Aor2MidDepInf) the sons G5043 of God G2316, [even] to them that believe G4100 (PresActPtc) on G1519 his G846 name G3686:
[13] Which G3739 were born G1080 (AorPasInd), not G3756 of G1537 blood G129, nor G3761 of G1537 the will G2307 of the flesh G4561, nor G3761 of G1537 the will G2307 of man G435, but G235 of G1537 God G2316.
[14] And G2532 the Word G3056 was made G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) flesh G4561, and G2532 dwelt G4637 (AorActInd) among G1722 us G2254, (and G2532 we beheld G2300 (AorMidDepInd) his G846 glory G1391, the glory G1391 as G5613 of the only begotten G3439 of G3844 the Father G3962,) full G4134 of grace G5485 and G2532 truth G225.
[15] John G2491 bare witness G3140 (PresActInd) of G4012 him G846, and G2532 cried G2896 (Perf2ActInd), saying G3004 (PresActPtc), This G3778 was he G2258 (ImpfInd) of whom G3739 I spake G2036 (Aor2ActInd), He that cometh G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) after G3694 me G3450 is preferred G1096 (Perf2ActInd) before G1715 me G3450: for G3754 he was G2258 (ImpfInd) before G4413 me G3450.
[16] And G2532 of G1537 his G846 fulness G4138 have G2983 all G3956 we G2249 received G2983 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 grace G5485 for G473 grace G5485.
[17] For G3754 the law G3551 was given G1325 (AorPasInd) by G1223 Moses G3475, [but] grace G5485 and G2532 truth G225 came G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) by G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547.
[18] No man G3762 hath seen G3708 (PerfActInd) God G2316 at any time G4455; the only begotten G3439 Son G5207, which G3588 is G5607 (PresPtc) in G1519 the bosom G2859 of the Father G3962, he G1565 hath declared G1834 (AorMidDepInd) [him].
[19] And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the record G3141 of John G2491, when G3753 the Jews G2453 sent G649 (AorActInd) priests G2409 and G2532 Levites G3019 from G1537 Jerusalem G2414 to G2443 ask G2065 (AorActSubj) him G846, Who G5101 art G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771?
[20] And G2532 he confessed G3670 (AorActInd), and G2532 denied G720 (AorMidDepInd) not G3756; but G2532 confessed G3670 (AorActInd), G3754 I G1473 am G1510 (PresInd) not G3756 the Christ G5547.
[21] And G2532 they asked G2065 (AorActInd) him G846, What G5101 then G3767? Art G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771 Elias G2243? And G2532 he saith G3004 (PresActInd), I am G1510 (PresInd) not G3756. Art G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771 that prophet G4396? And G2532 he answered G611 (AorMidDepInd), No G3756.
[22] Then G3767 said they G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Who G5101 art thou G1488 (PresInd)? that G2443 we may give G1325 (Aor2ActSubj) an answer G612 to them that sent G3992 (AorActPtc) us G2248. What G5101 sayest thou G3004 (PresActInd) of G4012 thyself G4572?
[23] He said G5346 (ImpfInd), I G1473 [am] the voice G5456 of one crying G994 (PresActPtc) in G1722 the wilderness G2048, Make straight G2116 (AorActImpr) the way G3598 of the Lord G2962, as G2531 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) the prophet G4396 Esaias G2268.
[24] And G2532 they which G3588 were sent G649 (PerfPasPtc) were G2258 (ImpfInd) of G1537 the Pharisees G5330.
[25] And G2532 they asked G2065 (AorActInd) him G846, and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Why G5101 baptizest thou G907 (PresActInd) then G3767, if G1487 thou G4771 be G1488 (PresInd) not G3756 that Christ G5547, nor G3777 Elias G2243, neither G3777 that prophet G4396?
[26] John G2491 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) them G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), I G1473 baptize G907 (PresActInd) with G1722 water G5204: but G1161 there standeth one G2476 (ImpfActInd) (PerfActInd) among G3319 you G5216, whom G3739 ye G5210 know G1492 (PerfActInd) not G3756;
[27] He G846 it is G2076 (PresInd), who G3739 coming G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) after G3694 me G3450 is preferred G1096 (Perf2ActInd) before G1715 me G3450, whose G3739 G846 shoe’s G5266 latchet G2438 I G1473 am G1510 (PresInd) not G3756 worthy G514 to G2443 unloose G3089 (AorActSubj).
[28] These things G5023 were done G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) in G1722 Bethabara G962 beyond G4008 Jordan G2446, where G3699 John G2491 was G2258 (ImpfInd) baptizing G907 (PresActPtc).
[29] The next day G1887 John G2491 seeth G991 (PresActInd) Jesus G2424 coming G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) unto G4314 him G846, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd), Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God G2316, which G3588 taketh away G142 (PresActPtc) the sin G266 of the world G2889.
[30] This G3778 is he G2076 (PresInd) of G4012 whom G3739 I G1473 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), After G3694 me G3450 cometh G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) a man G435 which G3739 is preferred G1096 (Perf2ActInd) before G1715 me G3450: for G3754 he was G2258 (ImpfInd) before G4413 me G3450.
[31] And I G2504 knew G1492 (PlupfActInd) him G846 not G3756: but G235 that G2443 he should be made manifest G5319 (AorPasSubj) to Israel G2474, therefore G1223 G5124 am G2064 I G1473 come G2064 (Aor2ActInd) baptizing G907 (PresActPtc) with G1722 water G5204.
[32] And G2532 John G2491 bare record G3140 (AorActInd), saying G3004 (PresActPtc), G3754 I saw G2300 (PerfMidPasDepInd) the Spirit G4151 descending G2597 (PresActPtc) from G1537 heaven G3772 like G5616 a dove G4058, and G2532 it abode G3306 (AorActInd) upon G1909 him G846.
[33] And I G2504 knew G1492 (PlupfActInd) him G846 not G3756: but G235 he that sent G3992 (AorActPtc) me G3165 to baptize G907 (PresActInf) with G1722 water G5204, the same G1565 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto me G3427, Upon G1909 whom G3739 G302 thou shalt see G1492 (Aor2ActSubj) the Spirit G4151 descending G2597 (PresActPtc), and G2532 remaining G3306 (PresActPtc) on G1909 him G846, the same G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) he which baptizeth G907 (PresActPtc) with G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151.
[34] And I G2504 saw G3708 (PerfActInd), and G2532 bare record G3140 (PerfActInd) that G3754 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the Son G5207 of God G2316.
[35] Again G3825 the next day after G1887 John G2491 stood G2476 (PlupfActInd), and G2532 two G1417 of G1537 his G846 disciples G3101;
[36] And G2532 looking upon G1689 (AorActPtc) Jesus G2424 as he walked G4043 (PresActPtc), he saith G3004 (PresActInd), Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God G2316!
[37] And G2532 the two G1417 disciples G3101 heard G191 (AorActInd) him G846 speak G2980 (PresActPtc), and G2532 they followed G190 (AorActInd) Jesus G2424.
[38] Then G1161 Jesus G2424 turned G4762 (Aor2PasPtc), and G2532 saw G2300 (AorMidDepPtc) them G846 following G190 (PresActPtc), and saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, What G5101 seek ye G2212 (PresActInd)? G1161 They said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Rabbi G4461, (which G3739 is to say G3004 (PresPasInd), being interpreted G2059 (PresPasPtc), Master G1320,) where G4226 dwellest thou G3306 (PresActInd)?
[39] He saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, Come G2064 (PresMidPasDepImpr) and G2532 see G1492 (Aor2ActImpr). They came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) and G2532 saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) where G4226 he dwelt G3306 (PresActInd), and G2532 abode G3306 (AorActInd) with G3844 him G846 that G1565 day G2250: for G1161 it was G2258 (ImpfInd) about G5613 the tenth G1182 hour G5610.
[40] One G1520 of G1537 the two G1417 which G3588 heard G191 (AorActPtc) G3844 John G2491 [speak], and G2532 followed G190 (AorActPtc) him G846, was G2258 (ImpfInd) Andrew G406, Simon G4613 Peter’s G4074 brother G80.
[41] He G3778 first G4413 findeth G2147 (PresActInd) his own G2398 brother G80 Simon G4613, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, We have found G2147 (PerfActInd) the Messias G3323, which G3739 is G2076 (PresInd), being interpreted G3177 (PresPasPtc), the Christ G5547.
[42] And G2532 he brought G71 (Aor2ActInd) him G846 to G4314 Jesus G2424. And G1161 when Jesus G2424 beheld G1689 (AorActPtc) him G846, he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) Simon G4613 the son G5207 of Jona G2495: thou G4771 shalt be called G2564 (FutPasInd) Cephas G2786, which G3739 is by interpretation G2059 (PresPasInd), A stone G4074.
[43] The day following G1887 Jesus G2424 would G2309 (AorActInd) go forth G1831 (Aor2ActInf) into G1519 Galilee G1056, and G2532 findeth G2147 (PresActInd) Philip G5376, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Follow G190 (PresActImpr) me G3427.
[44] Now G1161 Philip G5376 was G2258 (ImpfInd) of G575 Bethsaida G966, the city G4172 of G1537 Andrew G406 and G2532 Peter G4074.
[45] Philip G5376 findeth G2147 (PresActInd) Nathanael G3482, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, We have found G2147 (PerfActInd) him, of whom G3739 Moses G3475 in G1722 the law G3551, and G2532 the prophets G4396, did write G1125 (AorActInd), Jesus G2424 of G575 Nazareth G3478, the son G5207 of Joseph G2501.
[46] And G2532 Nathanael G3482 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Can G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) there any G5100 good thing G18 come G1511 (PresInf) out of G1537 Nazareth G3478? Philip G5376 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Come G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) and G2532 see G1492 (AorActImpr).
[47] Jesus G2424 saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) Nathanael G3482 coming G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) to G4314 him G846, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) of G4012 him G846, Behold G2396 an Israelite G2475 indeed G230, in G1722 whom G3739 is G2076 (PresInd) no G3756 guile G1388!
[48] Nathanael G3482 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Whence G4159 knowest thou G1097 (PresActInd) me G3165? Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Before G4253 that Philip G5376 called G5455 (AorActInf) thee G4571, when thou wast G5607 (PresPtc) under G5259 the fig tree G4808, I saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) thee G4571.
[49] Nathanael G3482 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Rabbi G4461, thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) the Son G5207 of God G2316; thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) the King G935 of Israel G2474.
[50] Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Because G3754 I said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto thee G4671, I saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) thee G4571 under G5270 the fig tree G4808, believest thou G4100 (PresActInd)? thou shalt see G3700 (FutMidDepInd) greater things G3187 than these G5130.
[51] And G2532 he saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Verily G281, verily G281, I say G3004 (PresActInd) unto you G5213, Hereafter G737 G575 ye shall see G3700 (FutMidDepInd) heaven G3772 open G455 (Perf2PasPtc), and G2532 the angels G32 of God G2316 ascending G305 (PresActPtc) and G2532 descending G2597 (PresActPtc) upon G1909 the Son G5207 of man G444.

Young’s Literal Translation

John 1 (YLT)

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
[2] this one was in the beginning with God;
[3] all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
[4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
[5] and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
[6] There came a man-having been sent from God-whose name is John,
[7] this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
[8] that one was not the Light, but-that he might testify about the Light.
[9] He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
[10] in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
[11] to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
[12] but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God-to those believing in his name,
[13] who-not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but-of God were begotten.
[14] And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
[15] John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, ‘This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;’
[16] and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
[17] for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
[18] God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father-he did declare.
[19] And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, ‘Who art thou?’
[20] and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed-‘I am not the Christ.’
[21] And they questioned him, ‘What then? Elijah art thou?’ and he saith, ‘I am not.’-‘The prophet art thou?’ and he answered, ‘No.’
[22] They said then to him, ‘Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?’
[23] He said, ‘I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.’
[24] And those sent were of the Pharisees,
[25] and they questioned him and said to him, ‘Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?’
[26] John answered them, saying, ‘I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,
[27] of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.’
[28] These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
[29] on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, ‘Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
[30] this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
[31] and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.
[32] And John testified, saying-‘I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;
[33] and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;
[34] and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.’
[35] On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
[36] and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, ‘Lo, the Lamb of God;’
[37] and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
[38] And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, ‘What seek ye?’ and they said to them, ‘Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?’
[39] He saith to them, ‘Come and see;’ they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.
[40] Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;
[41] this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, ‘We have found the Messiah,’ (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,)
[42] and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, ‘Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,’ (which is interpreted, A rock.)
[43] On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, ‘Be following me.’
[44] And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
[45] Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, ‘Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;’
[46] and Nathanael said to him, ‘Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’
[47] Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, ‘Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;’
[48] Nathanael saith to him, ‘Whence me dost thou know?’ Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Before Philip’s calling thee-thou being under the fig-tree-I saw thee.’
[49] Nathanael answered and saith to him, ‘Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.’
[50] Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;’
[51] and he saith to him, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.’
