Ин 1
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Слово становится Человеком
1 В начале было Слово[a],
и Слово было со Всевышним,
и Слово было Всевышним.
2 Оно было в начале у Всевышнего.
3 Всё, что существует,
было сотворено через Него,
и без Него ничего из того, что есть,
не начало существовать.
4 В Нём заключена жизнь,
и эта жизнь – Свет человечеству.
5 Свет светит во тьме,
и тьма не поглотила его.
6 Всевышним был послан человек по имени Яхьё. 7 Он пришёл как свидетель, свидетельствовать о Свете, чтобы благодаря ему все поверили в Этот Свет. 8 Сам он не был Светом, но пришёл, чтобы свидетельствовать о Свете.
9 Был истинный Свет,
Который просвещает каждого человека,
приходящего в мир.[b]
10 Он был в мире, который через Него был создан,
но мир не узнал Его.
11 Он пришёл к Своему народу,
но народ не принял Его.
12 Но всем тем, кто Его принял
и кто поверил в Него[c],
Он дал власть стать детьми Всевышнего –
13 детьми, рождёнными не от крови,
не от желаний или намерений человека,
а рождёнными от Всевышнего[d].
14 Слово стало Человеком
и жило среди нас.
Мы видели Его славу,
славу, которой наделён лишь Он –
единственный Сын Небесного Отца[e],
полный благодати и истины.
15 Яхьё свидетельствовал о Нём, провозглашая:
– Это Тот, о Ком я говорил: «Идущий за мной – выше меня, потому что Он существовал ещё до меня».
16 По Его безграничной благодати
мы все получили одно благословение за другим.
17 Ведь через пророка Мусо был дан Закон, а благодать и истина пришли через Исо, обещанного Масеха[f]. 18 Всевышнего никто никогда не видел,[g] Его явил нам единственный Сын Его, Который всегда пребывает с Отцом и Который Сам – Всевышний.
Цель служения пророка Яхьё(A)
19 И вот свидетельство Яхьё. Когда предводители иудеев послали к Яхьё священнослужителей и левитов[h], чтобы спросить его, кто он такой, 20 он сказал им прямо, не скрывая:
– Я не Масех.
21 Они спросили его:
– Тогда кто же ты? Пророк Ильёс?[i]
Он ответил:
– Нет.
– Так ты Пророк, предсказанный Мусо?[j]
– Нет, – отвечал Яхьё.
22 – Кто же ты? – спросили они тогда. – Скажи, чтобы мы смогли передать твой ответ тем, кто нас послал. Что ты сам скажешь о себе?
23 Яхьё ответил им словами пророка Исаии:
– «Я голос, который раздаётся в пустыне: выпрямите путь для Вечного[k]»[l].
24 А посланные были блюстителями Закона[m]. 25 Они допытывались:[n]
– Если ты не Масех, не Ильёс и не Пророк, то почему ты совершаешь над народом обряд погружения в воду[o]?
26 Яхьё ответил им:
– Я только совершаю обряд, погружая в воду. Но среди вас стоит Тот, Кого вы не знаете. 27 Он Тот, Кто придёт после меня, и я даже не достоин развязать ремни Его сандалий.
28 Это происходило в Вифании[p], на восточном берегу реки Иордана, там, где Яхьё совершал над народом обряд погружения в воду.
Исо Масех – Жертвенный Ягнёнок Всевышнего
29 На следующий день Яхьё увидел идущего к нему Исо и сказал:
– Вот Жертвенный Ягнёнок Всевышнего, Который заберёт грех мира! 30 Это о Нём я говорил: «Тот, Кто идёт за мной, – выше меня, потому что Он существовал ещё до меня». 31 Я сам не знал, кто Он, но я совершаю обряд погружения в воду для того, чтобы Он был явлен Исроилу.
32 И Яхьё подтвердил свои слова:
– Я видел, как Дух спускался на Него с небес в образе голубя и как Он остался на Нём. 33 Я бы не узнал Его, если бы Пославший меня совершать обряд погружения в воду не сказал мне: «На Кого опустится и на Ком останется Дух, Тот и будет погружать людей в Святого Духа[q]». 34 Я видел это и свидетельствую, что Он – Сын Всевышнего (Масех)[r]!
Первые ученики Исо Масеха
35 На следующий день Яхьё опять стоял с двумя своими учениками. 36 Увидев идущего Исо, он сказал:
– Вот Жертвенный Ягнёнок Всевышнего!
37 Оба ученика, услышав эти слова, последовали за Исо. 38 Исо обернулся и увидел, что они идут за Ним.
– Что вы хотите? – спросил Он.
– Рабби (что значит «учитель»), скажи, где Ты живёшь? – спросили они.
39 – Идите за Мной, и вы сами увидите, – сказал Исо.
Было около четырёх часов пополудни. Они пошли, увидели, где Он живёт, и пробыли у Него до вечера того дня.
40 Одним из двух, слышавших слова Яхьё об Исо и пошедших за Ним, был брат Шимона Петруса, Андер. 41 Он разыскал своего брата Шимона и сказал:
– Мы нашли Масеха (что означает «Помазанник»[s])!
42 И привёл его к Исо. Исо посмотрел на Шимона и сказал:
– Шимон, сын Ионы[t], тебя будут звать Кифа (что значит «камень», то есть Петрус)[u].
Исо Масех призывает Филиппа и Нафанаила
43 На следующий день Исо решил идти в Галилею. Он нашёл Филиппа и сказал ему:
– Следуй за Мной!
44 Филипп был из Вифсаиды, из того же города, что и Андер с Петрусом. 45 Он нашёл Нафанаила и сказал ему:
– Мы встретили Того, о Ком писал в Тавроте Мусо и о Ком писали другие пророки. Это Исо, сын Юсуфа[v] из Назарета.
46 Нафанаил ответил:
– Разве из Назарета может быть что-нибудь доброе?
– Пойди и посмотри, – сказал Филипп.
47 Когда Исо увидел идущего к Нему Нафанаила, Он сказал:
– Вот истинный исроильтянин, в котором нет ни тени притворства.
48 – Откуда Ты меня знаешь? – удивился Нафанаил. Исо ответил:
– Ещё до того, как Филипп позвал тебя, Я видел тебя под инжиром.
49 Тогда Нафанаил сказал:
– Учитель, Ты действительно Сын Всевышнего – Царь Исроила!
50 Исо сказал:
– Ты говоришь это потому, что Я сказал, что видел тебя под инжиром. Ты увидишь чудеса ещё больше этого.
51 И добавил:
– Говорю вам истину: вы увидите открытые небеса и ангелов Всевышнего, спускающихся и поднимающихся к Ниспосланному как Человек[w].
Footnotes
- Ин 1:1 Слово – одно из имён Исо Масеха (см. 1:14; Отк. 19:13).
- Ин 1:9 Или: «Был истинный Свет, приходящий в мир, Который просвещает каждого человека».
- Ин 1:12 Букв.: «в имя Его». Верить в чьё-либо имя значит верить в самого носителя этого имени, в данном случае верить в Исо Масеха. Также в 2:23.
- Ин 1:13 Имеется в виду духовное рождение через веру в Исо Масеха (см. 1:12; 1 Ин. 5:1).
- Ин 1:14 Сын Небесного Отца – этот термин не означает, что у Всевышнего есть сын, который был зачат обычным путём. В древности у иудеев титул «сын Всевышнего» применялся к царям Исроила (см. 2 Цар. 7:14; Заб. 2:6-7), но также указывал на ожидаемого Масеха, Спасителя и праведного Царя от Всевышнего, т. е. Исо (см. 1:49; 11:27; 20:31). В Инджиле через этот термин постепенно раскрывается идея вечных взаимоотношений Всевышнего и Масеха, указывающая на сходство характеров и единство природы Этих Личностей, на понятном нам примере – близких взаимоотношениях отца и сына (см. 1 Ин. 2:23).
- Ин 1:17 Масех (переводится как «Помазанник») – праведный Царь и Освободитель, Спаситель, обещанный Всевышним ещё в Тавроте, Забуре и Книге Пророков.
- Ин 1:18 В Священном Писании мы можем прочитать о случаях, когда человек «видел» Всевышнего (см., напр., Нач. 32:30; Исх. 24:10). Но Всевышний никогда не представал перед людьми во всей полноте Своей славы, так как никто не может видеть Его и остаться в живых (см. Исх. 33:20).
- Ин 1:19 Левиты – один из двенадцати родов исроильского народа. Левитов Всевышний избрал быть помощниками священнослужителям.
- Ин 1:21 Ильёс – иудеи помнили, что пророк Ильёс был живым взят на небо (см. 4 Цар. 2:11), и верили в то, что он должен прийти перед пришествием Масеха и приготовить Ему путь (см. Мал. 4:5; Лк. 1:17). И хотя в данном случае Яхьё и говорит, что он не Ильёс, Исо всё же утверждал, что в Яхьё исполнилось древнее пророчество (см. Мат. 11:14; 17:12; Мк. 9:13), поскольку он пришёл «в духе и силе» Ильёса.
- Ин 1:21 См. Втор. 18:15, 18; Ин. 1:45; Деян. 3:18-24. По всей вероятности, некоторые ошибочно считали, что это какой-то другой пророк, но не Масех (см. 1:25; 7:40-41).
- Ин 1:23 Вечный – греческим словом «кюриос», стоящим здесь в оригинальном тексте, в Инджиле переведено еврейское «Яхве». А так как в данном издании Священного Писания «Яхве» переведено как «Вечный», то и его греческий эквивалент переведён так же. Под именем «Яхве» Всевышний открылся Мусо и народу Исроила (см. Исх. 3:13-15). См. пояснительный словарь.
- Ин 1:23 Ис. 40:3.
- Ин 1:24 Блюстители Закона (букв.: «фарисеи») – религиозная партия, которую отличало неукоснительное выполнение законов Таврота, следование обычаям предков и строгое соблюдение ритуальной чистоты.
- Ин 1:25 Или: «Тогда посланные блюстителями Закона 25 допытывались».
- Ин 1:25 Или: «обряд омовения»; также в ст. 26, 28, 31 и 33.
- Ин 1:28 Вифания – точное расположение не установлено (не следует путать с Вифанией близ Иерусалима, см., напр., 11:1).
- Ин 1:33 Или: «омывать сердца людей Святым Духом».
- Ин 1:34 См. сноску на 1:14.
- Ин 1:41 Помазанник («Машиах» (евр.), «Масех» (араб.), «Христос» (греч.)) – праведный Царь и Освободитель, Спаситель, обещанный Всевышним ещё в Тавроте, Забуре и в Книге Пророков.
- Ин 1:42 Или: «Иохана». Иохан – второе имя Ионы.
- Ин 1:42 Оба имени, Кифа (арам.) и Петрус (греч.), переводятся как «камень», «скала».
- Ин 1:45 По закону Юсуф, как муж Марьям, считался отцом Исо, хотя не был им биологически (см. Лк. 1:35; 3:23).
- Ин 1:51 Ниспосланный как Человек (букв.: «Сын Человека») – один из титулов Масеха, восходящий к книге пророка Дониёла (см. Дон. 7:13-14; ср. Мат. 26:64). Исо всегда употреблял этот титул применительно к Себе. В данном случае Исо Масех, будучи Ниспосланным как Человек, предстаёт перед нами посредником, связывающим Всевышнего и людей. Исо приводит здесь известный рассказ из Таврота, где повествуется о Якубе, увидевшем во сне лестницу между землёй и небом, по которой поднимались и спускались ангелы (см. Нач. 28:12).
John 1
King James Version
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 by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of 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 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, 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 of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of 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 beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of 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 baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, 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 of 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 of 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 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John 1
New King James Version
The Eternal Word(A)
1 In the beginning (B)was the Word, and the (C)Word was (D)with God, and the Word was (E)God. 2 (F)He was in the beginning with God. 3 (G)All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 (H)In Him was life, and (I)the life was the light of men. 5 And (J)the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [a]comprehend it.
John’s Witness: The True Light
6 There was a (K)man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a (L)witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might (M)believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that (N)Light. 9 (O)That[b] was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and (P)the world did not know Him. 11 (Q)He came to His [c]own, and His [d]own did not receive Him. 12 But (R)as many as received Him, to them He gave the [e]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 (S)who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Becomes Flesh
14 (T)And the Word (U)became (V)flesh and dwelt among us, and (W)we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, (X)full of grace and truth.
15 (Y)John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, (Z)‘He who comes after me [f]is preferred before me, (AA)for He was before me.’ ”
16 [g]And of His (AB)fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For (AC)the law was given through Moses, but (AD)grace and (AE)truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 (AF)No one has seen God at any time. (AG)The only begotten [h]Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
A Voice in the Wilderness(AH)
19 Now this is (AI)the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 (AJ)He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you (AK)the Prophet?”
And he answered, “No.”
22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
23 He said: (AL)“I am
(AM)‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Make straight the way of the Lord,” ’
as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 John answered them, saying, (AN)“I baptize with water, (AO)but there stands One among you whom you do not know. 27 (AP)It is He who, coming after me, [i]is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 These things were done (AQ)in [j]Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The Lamb of God(AR)
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! (AS)The Lamb of God (AT)who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who [k]is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ 31 I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, (AU)therefore I came baptizing with water.”
32 (AV)And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, (AW)this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and testified that this is the (AX)Son of God.”
The First Disciples
35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, (AY)“Behold the Lamb of God!”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they (AZ)followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”
They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was (BA)Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the [l]Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of [m]Jonah. (BB)You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, [n]A Stone).
Philip and Nathanael
43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found (BC)Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” 44 Now (BD)Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found (BE)Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom (BF)Moses in the law, and also the (BG)prophets, wrote—Jesus (BH)of Nazareth, the (BI)son of Joseph.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, (BJ)“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, (BK)an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, (BL)You are the Son of God! You are (BM)the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus answered and said to 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, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (BN)hereafter[o] you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

English Standard Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 (A)In the beginning was (B)the Word, and (C)the Word was with God, and (D)the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 (E)All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 (F)In him was life,[a] and (G)the life was the light of men. 5 (H)The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man (I)sent from God, whose name was (J)John. 7 He came as a (K)witness, to bear witness about the light, (L)that all might believe through him. 8 (M)He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 (N)The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet (O)the world did not know him. 11 He came to (P)his own,[b] and (Q)his own people[c] (R)did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, (S)who believed in his name, (T)he gave the right (U)to become (V)children of God, 13 who (W)were born, (X)not of blood (Y)nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And (Z)the Word (AA)became flesh and (AB)dwelt among us, (AC)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[d] from the Father, full of (AD)grace and (AE)truth. 15 ((AF)John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, (AG)‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from (AH)his fullness we have all received, (AI)grace upon grace.[e] 17 For (AJ)the law was given through Moses; (AK)grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 (AL)No one has ever seen God; (AM)God the only Son, who[f] is at the Father's side,[g] (AN)he has made him known.
The Testimony of John the Baptist
19 And this is the (AO)testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, (AP)“Who are you?” 20 (AQ)He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? (AR)Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you (AS)the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 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 (AT)the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight[h] the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, (AU)“Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, (AV)“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even (AW)he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Behold, the Lamb of God
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, (AX)the Lamb of God, who (AY)takes away the sin (AZ)of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, (BA)‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but (BB)for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John (BC)bore witness: (BD)“I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and (BE)it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but (BF)he who sent me to baptize (BG)with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, (BH)this is he who baptizes (BI)with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[i] of God.”
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
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, (BJ)the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, (BK)“What are you seeking?” And they said to him, (BL)“Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 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.[j] 40 (BM)One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus[k] was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found (BN)the Messiah” (which means Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of (BO)John. You shall be called (BP)Cephas” (which means (BQ)Peter[l]).
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 (BR)The next day Jesus decided (BS)to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now (BT)Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found (BU)Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom (BV)Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus (BW)of Nazareth, (BX)the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said to him, (BY)“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, (BZ)an Israelite indeed, (CA)in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “How (CB)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, (CC)“Rabbi, (CD)you are the Son of God! You are the (CE)King of Israel!” 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,[m] you will see (CF)heaven opened, and (CG)the angels of God ascending and descending on (CH)the Son of Man.”
