Transcript
- 0:00John chapter one in the beginning was the Word, and the
- 0:04Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- 0:06He was in the beginning with God.
- 0:08All things came into being through Him and apart from Him
- 0:11nothing came into being that has come into being.
- 0:14In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
- 0:18The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did
- 0:20not comprehend it. There came a man sent from God
- 0:23whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify
- 0:26about the light, so that all might believe through Him.
- 0:29He was not the light, but He came to testify about the light.
- 0:33There was the true light, which coming into the world,
- 0:35enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the
- 0:38world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
- 0:41He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive
- 0:44him, but as many as received Him to them.
- 0:47He gave the right to become children of God, even to those
- 0:50who believe in His name, who were born not of blood, nor of
- 0:54the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
- 0:58And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His
- 1:02glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full
- 1:05of grace and truth. John testified about him and
- 1:08cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes
- 1:11after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.
- 1:16For of His fullness we have all received.
- 1:18And grace upon grace. For the law was given through
- 1:21Moses. Grace and truth were realized
- 1:23through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time.
- 1:27The only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has
- 1:30explained him. This is the testimony of John,
- 1:33when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from
- 1:36Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
- 1:38And he confessed, and did not deny, but confessed I am not the
- 1:42Christ. They asked him, What then are
- 1:45you, Elijah? And he said, I am not.
- 1:47Are you the prophet? And he answered no.
- 1:51Then they said to him, Who are you?
- 1:52So that we may give an answer to those who sent us, What do you
- 1:56say about yourself? He said, I am a voice of one
- 1:59crying in the wilderness. Make straight the way of the
- 2:02Lord, as Isaiah the prophet said.
- 2:05Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.
- 2:08They asked him and said to him, Why then are you baptizing if
- 2:11you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
- 2:14John answered them, saying, I baptize in water, but among you
- 2:18stands one whom you do not know. It is he who comes after me, the
- 2:23thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.
- 2:26These things took place in Bethany, beyond the Jordan,
- 2:29where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming
- 2:32to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the
- 2:36sin of the world. This is He on behalf of whom I
- 2:39said, After me comes a man who has a higher rank than I, for he
- 2:43existed before me. I did not recognize him, but so
- 2:46that he might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in
- 2:49water. John testified, saying, I have
- 2:52seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and he
- 2:55remained upon him. I did not recognize him, but he
- 2:59who sent me to baptize in water said to me, He upon whom you see
- 3:02the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the
- 3:05one who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.
- 3:08I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son
- 3:11of God. Again the next day John was
- 3:14standing with two of his disciples and he looked at Jesus
- 3:17as he walked and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
- 3:20The two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus
- 3:24and Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, What
- 3:27do you seek? They said to him, Rabbi, which
- 3:30translated means Teacher, where are you staying?
- 3:33He said to them, come and you will see.
- 3:35So they came and saw where he was staying and they stayed with
- 3:38him that day for it was about the 10th hour.
- 3:41One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was
- 3:44Andrew Simon, Peters brother. He found first his own brother
- 3:47Simon and said to him, We have found the Messiah, which
- 3:50translated means Christ. He brought him to Jesus.
- 3:54Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon the son of John.
- 3:58You shall be called Cephas, which is translated Peter.
- 4:02The next day he purposed to go into Galilee, and he found
- 4:04Philip, and Jesus said to him, Follow me.
- 4:08Now Philip was from Bethsaida of the city of Andrew and Peter.
- 4:11Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, We have found him of
- 4:14whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote Jesus of
- 4:17Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nathaniel said to him, Can any
- 4:21good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and
- 4:24see. Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to
- 4:27him and said to him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there
- 4:30is no deceit. Nathaniel said to him, How do
- 4:33you know me? Jesus answered and said to him,
- 4:36Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I
- 4:40saw you. Nathaniel answered him, Rabbi,
- 4:43you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.
- 4:46Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to you that I saw
- 4:49you under the fig tree, do you believe you will see greater
- 4:52things than these? And he said to him, truly,
- 4:55truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, the
- 4:57angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
