Das Wort ward Fleisch

Im Anfang war das Wort, und das Wort war bei Gott, und das Wort war Gott. Dieses war im Anfang bei Gott.

Alles ist durch dasselbe entstanden; und ohne dasselbe ist auch nicht eines entstanden, was entstanden ist. In ihm war Leben, und das Leben war das Licht der Menschen. Und das Licht leuchtet in der Finsternis, und die Finsternis hat es nicht begriffen.

Es wurde ein Mensch von Gott gesandt, der hieß Johannes. Dieser kam zum Zeugnis, um zu zeugen von dem Licht, damit alle durch ihn glaubten. Nicht er war das Licht, sondern er sollte zeugen von dem Licht. Das wahrhaftige Licht, welches jeden Menschen erleuchtet, sollte in die Welt kommen.

10 Es war in der Welt, und die Welt ist durch ihn[a] geworden, aber die Welt erkannte ihn nicht.

11 Er kam in sein Eigentum, und die Seinen nahmen ihn nicht auf. 12 Allen denen aber, die ihn aufnahmen, gab er Vollmacht, Gottes Kinder zu werden, denen, die an seinen Namen glauben; 13 welche nicht aus dem Geblüt, noch aus dem Willen des Fleisches, noch aus dem Willen des Mannes, sondern aus Gott geboren sind.

14 Und das Wort ward Fleisch und wohnte unter uns; und wir sahen seine Herrlichkeit, eine Herrlichkeit als des Eingeborenen[b] vom Vater, voller Gnade und Wahrheit.

Das Zeugnis Johannes des Täufers

15 Johannes zeugte von ihm, rief und sprach: Dieser war es, von dem ich sagte: Der nach mir kommt, ist vor mir gewesen, denn er war eher als ich. 16 Und aus seiner Fülle haben wir alle empfangen Gnade um Gnade. 17 Denn das Gesetz wurde durch Mose gegeben; die Gnade und die Wahrheit ist durch Jesus Christus geworden. 18 Niemand hat Gott je gesehen; der eingeborene Sohn, der im Schoße des Vaters ist, der hat uns Aufschluß über ihn gegeben.

19 Und dies ist das Zeugnis des Johannes, als die Juden von Jerusalem Priester und Leviten sandten, um ihn zu fragen: Wer bist du? 20 Und er bekannte und leugnete nicht; und er bekannte: Ich bin nicht der Christus!

21 Und sie fragten ihn: Was denn? Bist du Elia? Er sprach: Ich bin's nicht! Bist du der Prophet? Er antwortete: Nein! 22 Nun sprachen sie zu ihm: Wer bist du denn? damit wir denen Antwort geben, die uns gesandt haben. Was sagst du über dich selbst? 23 Er sprach: Ich bin

„eine Stimme, die da ruft in der Wüste: Ebnet den Weg des Herrn!“

wie der Prophet Jesaja gesagt hat. 24 Sie waren aber von den Pharisäern abgesandt. 25 Und sie fragten ihn und sprachen zu ihm: Warum taufst du denn, wenn du nicht der Christus bist, noch Elia, noch der Prophet?

26 Johannes antwortete ihnen und sprach: Ich taufe mit Wasser[c]; aber mitten unter euch steht Einer, den ihr nicht kennt, 27 welcher nach mir kommt, der doch vor mir gewesen ist, für den ich nicht würdig bin, ihm den Schuhriemen zu lösen.

28 Dieses geschah zu Bethabara[d], jenseits des Jordan, wo Johannes taufte.

Jesus das Lamm Gottes

29 Am folgenden Tage sieht Johannes Jesus auf sich zukommen und spricht: Siehe, das Lamm Gottes, welches die Sünde der Welt hinwegnimmt! 30 Das ist der, von welchem ich sagte: Nach mir kommt ein Mann, der vor mir gewesen ist; denn er war eher als ich. 31 Und ich kannte ihn nicht; aber damit er Israel offenbar würde, darum kam ich, mit Wasser zu taufen.

32 Und Johannes zeugte und sprach: Ich sah den Geist wie eine Taube vom Himmel herabsteigen und auf ihm bleiben. 33 Und ich kannte ihn nicht; aber der mich sandte, mit Wasser zu taufen, der sprach zu mir: Auf welchen du den Geist herabsteigen und auf ihm bleiben siehst, der ist's, der im heiligen Geiste tauft. 34 Und ich habe es gesehen und bezeuge, daß dieser der Sohn Gottes ist.

35 Am folgenden Tage stand Johannes wiederum da und zwei seiner Jünger. 36 Und indem er auf Jesus blickte, der vorüberwandelte, sprach er: Siehe, das Lamm Gottes! 37 Und die beiden Jünger hörten ihn reden und folgten Jesus nach.

38 Da aber Jesus sich umwandte und sie nachfolgen sah, sprach er zu ihnen: Was sucht ihr? Sie sprachen zu ihm: Rabbi (das heißt übersetzt: Lehrer), wo wohnst du? 39 Er spricht zu ihnen: Kommt und seht! Sie kamen und sahen, wo er wohnte, und blieben jenen Tag bei ihm. Es war aber um die zehnte Stunde[e].

Die ersten Jünger

40 Andreas, der Bruder des Simon Petrus, war einer von den zweien, die es von Johannes gehört hatten und ihm nachgefolgt waren. 41 Dieser findet zuerst seinen Bruder Simon und spricht zu ihm: Wir haben den Messias[f] gefunden (das heißt übersetzt: den Gesalbten ). 42 Und er führte ihn zu Jesus. Jesus aber sah ihn an und sprach: Du bist Simon, Jonas Sohn, du sollst Kephas heißen (das wird übersetzt: Fels[g] ).

43 Am folgenden Tage wollte Jesus nach Galiläa reisen; und er findet Philippus und spricht zu ihm: Folge mir nach! 44 Philippus aber war von Bethsaida, aus der Stadt des Andreas und Petrus.

45 Philippus findet den Nathanael und spricht zu ihm: Wir haben den gefunden, von welchem Mose im Gesetz und die Propheten geschrieben haben, Jesus, den Sohn Josephs, von Nazareth. 46 Und Nathanael sprach zu ihm: Kann aus Nazareth etwas Gutes kommen? Philippus spricht zu ihm: Komm und sieh! 47 Jesus sah den Nathanael auf sich zukommen und spricht von ihm: Siehe, wahrhaftig ein Israelit, in welchem keine Falschheit ist! 48 Nathanael spricht zu ihm: Woher kennst du mich? Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Ehe dich Philippus rief, als du unter dem Feigenbaum warst, sah ich dich!

49 Nathanael antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Rabbi, du bist der Sohn Gottes, du bist der König von Israel! 50 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Du glaubst, weil ich dir sagte, daß ich dich unter dem Feigenbaum sah! Du wirst Größeres sehen als das! 51 Und er spricht zu ihm: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch, von nun an werdet ihr den Himmel offen sehen und die Engel Gottes auf- und niedersteigen auf des Menschen Sohn!

施洗约翰为真光作见证

太初有道,道与神同在,道就是神。 这道太初与神同在。 万物是借着他造的;凡被造的,没有一样不是借着他造的。 生命在他里头,这生命就是人的光。 光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。 有一个人,是从神那里差来的,名叫约翰 这人来,为要作见证,就是为光作见证,叫众人因他可以信。 他不是那光,乃是要为光作见证。 那光是真光,照亮一切生在世上的人。 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,自己的人倒不接待他。 12 凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就赐他们权柄做神的儿女。 13 这等人不是从血气生的,不是从情欲生的,也不是从人意生的,乃是从神生的。 14 道成了肉身,住在我们中间,充充满满地有恩典有真理。我们也见过他的荣光,正是父独生子的荣光。

恩典真理是由耶稣基督来的

15 约翰为他作见证,喊着说:“这就是我曾说,‘那在我以后来的,反成了在我以前的,因他本来在我以前。’” 16 从他丰满的恩典里,我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。 17 律法本是借着摩西传的,恩典和真理都是由耶稣基督来的。 18 从来没有人看见神,只有在父怀里的独生子将他表明出来。

约翰证明自己不是基督

19 约翰所作的见证记在下面。犹太人从耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到约翰那里,问他说:“你是谁?” 20 他就明说,并不隐瞒,明说:“我不是基督。” 21 他们又问他说:“这样,你是谁呢?是以利亚吗?”他说:“我不是。”“是那先知吗?”他回答说:“不是。” 22 于是他们说:“你到底是谁?叫我们好回复差我们来的人。你自己说你是谁?” 23 他说:“我就是那在旷野有人声喊着说:‘修直主的道路’,正如先知以赛亚所说的。” 24 那些人是法利赛人差来的。[a] 25 他们就问他说:“你既不是基督,不是以利亚,也不是那先知,为什么施洗呢?” 26 约翰回答说:“我是用水施洗,但有一位站在你们中间,是你们不认识的, 27 就是那在我以后来的,我给他解鞋带也不配。” 28 这是在约旦河外伯大尼[b]约翰施洗的地方作的见证。

神的羔羊

29 次日,约翰看见耶稣来到他那里,就说:“看哪,神的羔羊,除去[c]世人罪孽的! 30 这就是我曾说:‘有一位在我以后来、反成了在我以前的,因他本来在我以前。’ 31 我先前不认识他,如今我来用水施洗,为要叫他显明给以色列人。” 32 约翰又作见证说:“我曾看见圣灵仿佛鸽子从天降下,住在他的身上。 33 我先前不认识他,只是那差我来用水施洗的对我说:‘你看见圣灵降下来,住在谁的身上,谁就是用圣灵施洗的。’ 34 我看见了,就证明这是神的儿子。”

约翰的两个门徒跟从耶稣

35 再次日,约翰同两个门徒站在那里。 36 他见耶稣行走,就说:“看哪,这是神的羔羊!” 37 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,就问他们说:“你们要什么?”他们说:“拉比,在哪里住?”(“拉比”翻出来就是“夫子”。) 39 耶稣说:“你们来看。”他们就去看他在哪里住,这一天便与他同住。那时约有申正了。 40 听见约翰的话跟从耶稣的那两个人,一个是西门彼得的兄弟安得烈 41 他先找着自己的哥哥西门,对他说:“我们遇见弥赛亚了!”(“弥赛亚”翻出来就是“基督”。) 42 于是领他去见耶稣。耶稣看着他说:“你是约翰[d]的儿子西门,你要称为矶法。”(“矶法”翻出来就是“彼得”。)

召腓力拿但业为门徒

43 又次日,耶稣想要往加利利去,遇见腓力,就对他说:“来跟从我吧!” 44 腓力伯赛大人,和安得烈彼得同城。 45 腓力找着拿但业,对他说:“摩西在律法上所写的和众先知所记的那一位,我们遇见了,就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣。” 46 拿但业对他说:“拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗?”腓力说:“你来看!” 47 耶稣看见拿但业来,就指着他说:“看哪,这是个真以色列人,他心里是没有诡诈的!” 48 拿但业对耶稣说:“你从哪里知道我呢?”耶稣回答说:腓力还没有招呼你,你在无花果树底下,我就看见你了。”

拿但业认耶稣为神之子

49 拿但业说:“拉比,你是神的儿子,你是以色列的王!” 50 耶稣对他说:“因为我说在无花果树底下看见你,你就信吗?你将要看见比这更大的事!” 51 又说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:你们将要看见天开了,神的使者上去下来在人子身上。”

The Word Became Flesh

In the beginning was the Word,(A) and the Word was with God,(B) and the Word was God.(C) He was with God in the beginning.(D) Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.(E) In him was life,(F) and that life was the light(G) of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness,(H) and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.(I)

There was a man sent from God whose name was John.(J) He came as a witness to testify(K) concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.(L) He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

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)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

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.
