约翰福音 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
道成肉身
1 太初有道，道与 神同在，道就是 神。 2 这道太初与 神同在。 3 万有是借着他造的；凡被造的，没有一样不是借着他造的。 4 在他里面有生命，（有些抄本第3、4节或译：“万有是借着他造的，没有一样不是借着他造的；凡被造的，都在他里面有生命……”）这生命就是人的光。 5 光照在黑暗中，黑暗不能胜过光。
6 有一个人，名叫约翰，是 神所差来的。 7 他来是要作见证，就是为光作见证，使众人借着他可以相信。 8 他不是那光，而是要为那光作见证。 9 那光来到世界，是普照世人的真光。 10 他在世界，世界也是借着他造的，世界却不认识他。 11 他到自己的地方来，自己的人却不接受他。 12 凡接受他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐给他们权利，成为 神的儿女。 13 他们不是从血统生的，不是从肉身的意思生的，也不是从人意生的，而是从 神生的。
14 道成了肉身，住在我们中间，满有恩典和真理。我们见过他的荣光，正是从父而来的独生子的荣光。
15 约翰为他作见证，大声说：“这一位就是我所说的：‘那在我以后来的，位分比我高，因为他本来是在我以前的。’” 16 从他的丰盛里我们都领受了，而且恩上加恩。 17 律法是借着摩西颁布的，恩典和真理却是借着耶稣基督而来的。 18 从来没有人见过 神，只有在父怀里的独生子把他彰显出来。
施洗约翰的见证(A)
19 以下是约翰的见证：犹太人从耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人到约翰那里，问他：“你是谁？” 20 约翰并不否认，坦白地承认说：“我不是基督。” 21 他们又问：“那么你是谁？是以利亚吗？”他说：“我不是。”“是那位先知吗？”他回答：“不是。” 22 于是他们再问：“你是谁？好让我们回复派我们来的人。你说你自己是谁？” 23 他说：“我就是在旷野呼喊者的声音：‘修直主的路！’正如以赛亚先知所说的。” 24 这些人是法利赛人派来的。 25 他们问约翰：“你既然不是基督，不是以利亚，也不是那位先知，那么你为甚么施洗呢？” 26 约翰回答：“我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你们中间，是你们不认识的； 27 他是在我以后来的，我就是给他解鞋带也不配。” 28 这些事发生在约旦河东的伯大尼，约翰施洗的地方。
神的羊羔
29 第二天，约翰见耶稣迎面而来，就说：“看哪， 神的羊羔，是除去世人的罪孽的！ 30 这一位就是我所说的：‘有一个人，是在我以后来的，位分比我高，因为他本来是在我以前的。’ 31 我本来不认识他，但为了要把他显明给以色列人，因此我来用水施洗。” 32 约翰又作见证说：“我曾看见圣灵，好象鸽子从天上降下来，停留在他的身上。 33 我本来不认识他，但那差我来用水施洗的对我说：‘你看见圣灵降下来，停留在谁身上，谁就是用圣灵施洗的。’ 34 我看见了，就作见证说：‘这就是 神的儿子。’”
呼召第一批门徒(B)
35 过了一天，约翰和他的两个门徒又站在那里。 36 约翰看见耶稣走过的时候，就说：“看哪， 神的羊羔！” 37 那两个门徒听见他的话，就跟从了耶稣。 38 耶稣转过身来，看见他们跟着，就问：“你们要甚么？”他们说：“拉比，你在哪里住？”（“拉比”的意思就是“老师”。） 39 他说：“你们来看吧！”于是他们就去看他所住的地方。那一天他们就和耶稣住在一起；那时大约是下午四点钟。 40 听了约翰的话而跟从耶稣的那两个人，一个是西门．彼得的弟弟安得烈。 41 他先找到自己的哥哥西门，告诉他：“我们遇见弥赛亚了！”（“弥赛亚”的意思就是“基督”。） 42 安得烈就带他到耶稣那里。耶稣定睛看着他，说：“你是约翰的儿子西门，你要称为矶法。”（“矶法”翻译出来就是“彼得”。）
呼召腓力和拿但业
43 再过一天，耶稣决定往加利利去；他遇见腓力，就对他说：“来跟从我！” 44 腓力是伯赛大人，与安得烈和彼得同乡。 45 腓力找到拿但业，告诉他：“摩西在律法书上所写的，和众先知所记的那位，我们已经遇见了，他就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣。” 46 拿但业说：“拿撒勒还能出甚么好的吗？”腓力说：“你来看！” 47 耶稣看见拿但业向他走过来，就论到他说：“看哪，这的确是个以色列人，他心里没有诡诈。” 48 拿但业问他：“你怎么认识我呢？”耶稣回答：“腓力还没有招呼你，你在无花果树下的时候，我就看见你了。” 49 拿但业说：“拉比，你是 神的儿子，你是以色列的王！” 50 耶稣说：“因为我告诉你‘我看见你在无花果树下’，你就信了吗？你还要看见比这些更大的事。” 51 又对他说：“我实实在在告诉你们，你们要看见天开了， 神的众使者在人子的身上，上去下来。”

キリストこそほんとうの光
1 1-2 まだこの世界に何もない時から、キリストは神と共におられました。キリストは、いつの時代にも生きておられます。キリストは神だからです。 3 このキリストが、すべてのものをお造りになりました。そうでないものは一つもありません。 4 キリストには永遠のいのちがあります。全人類に光を与えるいのちです。 5 そのいのちは暗闇の中でさんぜんと輝いていて、どんな暗闇もこの光を消すことはできません。
6-7 イエス・キリストこそほんとうの光です。このことを証言させるために、神はバプテスマのヨハネをお遣わしになりました。 8 ヨハネ自身は光ではなく、ただその光を指し示す証人にすぎません。 9 後に、ほんとうの光である方が来て、全世界の人々を照らしてくださったのです。
10 ところが、世界を造った方が来られたというのに、だれもこの方に気づきませんでした。 11-12 ご自分の国に来ながら、ご自分の民に受け入れられなかったのです。この方を心から喜び迎えたのは、ほんのわずかな人たちだけでしたが、受け入れた人はみな、この方から神の子どもとなる特権をいただきました。それにはただ、この方が救ってくださると信じればよかったのです。 13 信じる人はだれでも、新しく生まれ変わります。それは、人間の熱意や計画によるものではありません。神がそう望まれたからです。
14 キリストは人間となり、この地上で私たちと共に生活なさいました。彼は恵みと真実のお方でした。私たちは、この方の栄光を目のあたりにしました。それは天の父である神の、ひとり子としての栄光でした。 15 バプテスマのヨハネは、人々にキリストを紹介しました。「私が今まで、『まもなく来られる方は、私よりはるかに偉大な方だ。私が生まれるずっと前からおられたからだ』と言ってきたのは、まさにこの方のことです。」 16 この方の恵みは尽きることがありません。私たちはみな、次から次へと、あふれるばかりに恵みをいただきました。 17 モーセはきびしい命令と戒めとを与えましたが、イエス・キリストはその上に、愛に満ちた赦しの道を備えてくださったのです。 18 いまだかつて、実際に神を見た人はいません。しかし、神のひとり子だけは別です。御子は父なる神といつもいっしょですから、神について知っていることを教えてくださいました。
バプテスマのヨハネの証言
19 ユダヤ人の指導者たちは、エルサレムから、祭司とその助手たちとをバプテスマのヨハネのもとへ派遣し、「あなたはキリスト（ギリシャ語で、救い主）なのか」と問いたださせました。 20 ヨハネは、「私はキリストではない」と、きっぱり否定しました。 21 「では、いったいだれか。エリヤか。」「いや、違う。」「すると、あの預言者か。」「いや。」 22 「では、いったい何者か。はっきりしてくれ。私たちは帰って報告しなければならないのだ。あなたはだれなのか。」 23 「私は、イザヤが預言した、あの荒野から聞こえる叫び声です。『主を迎える準備をせよ』（イザヤ40・3）と叫ぶ声、それが私です。」 24-25 パリサイ人（特に律法を守ることに熱心なユダヤ教の一派）から派遣された人たちは、なおもヨハネに問いました。「キリストでも、エリヤでも、あの預言者でもないのなら、いったいどんな資格でバプテスマ（洗礼）を授けているのか。」 26 ヨハネは答えました。「私はただ、水でバプテスマを授けているだけです。しかし、ここにいる人々の中には、あなたがたのまだ知らない方がおられます。 27 まもなく、あなたがたの間で働きを始められるでしょう。私にはその方のしもべとなる資格もないのです。」 28 このことがあったのは、ヨハネがバプテスマを授けていたヨルダン川の東岸にある、ベタニヤ村でのことです。
29 その翌日、ヨハネはイエスが来られるのを見て、言いました。「ごらんなさい。この方こそ、世の人々の罪を取り除く神の小羊です。 30 私が、『まもなく、私よりはるかに偉大な方がおいでになる。私よりずっと前からおられる方だ』と話していたのは、この方のことだったのです。 31 最初、私もこの方がキリストであるとはわかりませんでした。しかし、私がここで水のバプテスマを授けているのは、まさにこの方を、イスラエルの人々に紹介するためだったのです。」 32 ヨハネはさらに続けました。「確かに、聖霊が鳩のように天から下り、この方の上にとどまられるのを見ました。 33 それまでは私も、この方がキリストだとはわかりませんでした。しかし、バプテスマを授けさせるために私を遣わす時、神がこう言われたのです。『もし、聖霊がだれかに下り、その上にとどまるのを見たら、その方こそ、あなたの捜し求めている方、聖霊のバプテスマをお授けになる方である。』 34 そのとおりのことが、この方に起こりました。しっかりこの目で見たのです。この方は神の子にまちがいありません。」
イエス、弟子を集める
35 その翌日、ヨハネは二人の弟子といっしょに立っていました。 36 目を上げると、イエスが歩いておられるではありませんか。その姿をじっと見つめながら、ヨハネは、「ごらんなさい。神の小羊です」と言いました。 37 これを聞いた弟子は二人とも、急いでイエスのあとを追いかけました。 38 その足音にイエスはふり向き、二人を見てお尋ねになりました。「何かご用ですか。」「先生。今、どちらにお泊まりですか。」 39 「いっしょに来なさい。すぐにわかります。」こう言われて二人は、イエスの泊まっておられる所までついて行きました。午後四時ごろのことでした。その日二人は、それからずっとイエスといっしょにいました。 40 二人のうち一人は、シモン・ペテロの兄弟アンデレでした。 41 それからアンデレはシモンを捜し出し、「とうとうメシヤ（ヘブル語で、救い主）にお会いしたよ」と言いました。 42 そして、彼をイエスのところへ連れて行きました。イエスはシモンをじっと見つめ、「あなたはヨハネの子シモンですね。これからは、ペテロ（岩）と呼びましょう」と言われました。
43 その翌日、イエスはガリラヤへ出発されました。途中、ピリポを見つけ、「さあ、ついて来なさい」と言われました。 44 ピリポはアンデレやペテロと同郷で、ベツサイダの出身でした。 45 ピリポはナタナエルを捜しに行き、会うなり言いました。「私たちはメシヤにお会いした。モーセや預言者たちが言った、あのお方のことだよ。ナザレ出身のイエスという方で、ヨセフという人の息子さんだそうだ。」 46 「ナザレだって！」ナタナエルはびっくりしました。「あんな所から、すぐれた人物など出るはずがない。」しかしピリポは、「とにかく来て、自分の目で確かめたらいいだろう」と言いました。 47 ナタナエルも行ってみる気になりました。イエスは歩いて来るナタナエルの姿に目をとめておっしゃいました。「この人こそ生粋のイスラエル人です。正直で、うそがありません。」 48 「どうして、おわかりなのですか。」ナタナエルは聞き返しました。「わたしは、ピリポがあなたに会う前に、あなたがいちじくの木の下にいるのを見ましたよ。」 49 「先生。あなたは神の子、イスラエルの王です。」 50 「そう信じるのは、あなたがいちじくの木の下にいるのを見たと、わたしが言ったからですか。それよりもはるかにすばらしい証拠があります。 51 天が開けて、天使たちがメシヤのわたしの上を行き来するのを、やがて、あなたがたは見るのです。」

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.”

The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word,(A) and the Word was with God,(B) and the Word was God.(C) 2 He was with God in the beginning.(D) 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.(E) 4 In him was life,(F) and that life was the light(G) of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness,(H) and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.(I)
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.(J) 7 He came as a witness to testify(K) concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.(L) 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light(M) that gives light to everyone(N) was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,(O) the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.(P) 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed(Q) in his name,(R) he gave the right to become children of God(S)— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.(T)
14 The Word became flesh(U) and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,(V) the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace(W) and truth.(X)
15 (John testified(Y) concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)(Z) 16 Out of his fullness(AA) we have all received grace(AB) in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses;(AC) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.(AD) 18 No one has ever seen God,(AE) but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b](AF) is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John the Baptist Denies Being the Messiah
19 Now this was John’s(AG) testimony when the Jewish leaders[c](AH) in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”(AI)
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”(AJ)
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”(AK)
He answered, “No.”
22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness,(AL) ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”[d](AM)
24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 “I baptize with[e] water,”(AN) John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me,(AO) the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”(AP)
28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan,(AQ) where John was baptizing.
John Testifies About Jesus
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,(AR) who takes away the sin of the world!(AS) 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’(AT) 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.(AU) 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water(AV) told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’(AW) 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”[f](AX)
John’s Disciples Follow Jesus(AY)
35 The next day John(AZ) was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”(BA)
37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”
They said, “Rabbi”(BB) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”
So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).(BC) 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called(BD) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[g]).(BE)
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(BF) he said to him, “Follow me.”(BG)
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(BH) 45 Philip found Nathanael(BI) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(BJ) and about whom the prophets also wrote(BK)—Jesus of Nazareth,(BL) the son of Joseph.”(BM)
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(BN) Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite(BO) in whom there is no deceit.”(BP)
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi,(BQ) you are the Son of God;(BR) you are the king of Israel.”(BS)
50 Jesus said, “You believe[h] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[i] you[j] will see ‘heaven open,(BT) and the angels of God ascending and descending(BU) on’[k] the Son of Man.”(BV)

1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things came to be through him,
and without him nothing made had being.
4 In him was life,
and the life was the light of mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not suppressed it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was Yochanan. 7 He came to be a testimony, to bear witness concerning the light; so that through him, everyone might put his trust in God and be faithful to him. 8 He himself was not that light; no, he came to bear witness concerning the light.
9 This was the true light,
which gives light to everyone entering the world.
10 He was in the world — the world came to be through him —
yet the world did not know him.
11 He came to his own homeland,
yet his own people did not receive him.
12 But to as many as did receive him, to those who put their trust in his person and power, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 not because of bloodline, physical impulse or human intention, but because of God.
14 The Word became a human being and lived with us,
and we saw his Sh’khinah,
the Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth.
15 Yochanan witnessed concerning him when he cried out, “This is the man I was talking about when I said, ‘The one coming after me has come to rank ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16 We have all received from his fullness,
yes, grace upon grace.
17 For the Torah was given through Moshe;
grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
18 No one has ever seen God; but the only and unique Son, who is identical with God and is at the Father’s side — he has made him known.
19 Here is Yochanan’s testimony: when the Judeans sent cohanim and L’vi’im from Yerushalayim to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 he was very straightforward and stated clearly, “I am not the Messiah.” 21 “Then who are you?” they asked him. “Are you Eliyahu?” “No, I am not,” he said. “Are you ‘the prophet,’ the one we’re expecting?” “No,” he replied. 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? — so that we can give an answer to the people who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?” 23 He answered in the words of Yesha‘yahu the prophet, “I am
The voice of someone crying out:
‘In the desert make the way of Adonai straight!’”[a]
24 Some of those who had been sent were P’rushim. 25 They asked him, “If you are neither the Messiah nor Eliyahu nor ‘the prophet,’ then why are you immersing people?” 26 To them Yochanan replied, “I am immersing people in water, but among you is standing someone whom you don’t know. 27 He is the one coming after me — I’m not good enough even to untie his sandal!” 28 All this took place in Beit-Anyah, east of the Yarden, where Yochanan was immersing.
29 The next day, Yochanan saw Yeshua coming toward him and said, “Look! God’s lamb! The one who is taking away the sin of the world! 30 This is the man I was talking about when I said, ‘After me is coming someone who has come to rank above me, because he existed before me.’ 31 I myself did not know who he was, but the reason I came immersing with water was so that he might be made known to Isra’el.” 32 Then Yochanan gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and remaining on him. 33 I myself did not know who he was, but the one who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is the one who immerses in the Ruach HaKodesh.’ 34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.”
35 The next day, Yochanan was again standing with two of his talmidim. 36 On seeing Yeshua walking by, he said, “Look! God’s lamb!” 37 His two talmidim heard him speaking, and they followed Yeshua. 38 Yeshua turned and saw them following him, and he asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi!” (which means “Teacher!”) “Where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and remained with him the rest of the day — it was about four o’clock in the afternoon. 40 One of the two who had heard Yochanan and had followed Yeshua was Andrew the brother of Shim‘on Kefa.
41 The first thing he did was to find his brother Shim‘on and tell him, “We’ve found the Mashiach!” (The word means “one who has been anointed.”) 42 He took him to Yeshua. Looking at him, Yeshua said, “You are Shim‘on Bar-Yochanan; you will be known as Kefa.” (The name means “rock.”)
43 The next day, having decided to leave for the Galil, Yeshua found Philip and said, “Follow me!” 44 Philip was from Beit-Tzaidah, the town where Andrew and Kefa lived. 45 Philip found Natan’el and told him, “We’ve found the one that Moshe wrote about in the Torah, also the Prophets — it’s Yeshua Ben-Yosef from Natzeret!” 46 Natan’el answered him, “Natzeret? Can anything good come from there?” “Come and see,” Philip said to him. 47 Yeshua saw Natan’el coming toward him and remarked about him, “Here’s a true son of Isra’el — nothing false in him!” 48 Natan’el said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Natan’el said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Isra’el!” 50 Yeshua answered him, “you believe all this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that!” 51 Then he said to him, “Yes indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down[b] on the Son of Man!”
