Johannes 1
Svenska Folkbibeln
Ordet blev kött
1 I begynnelsen var Ordet, och Ordet var hos Gud, och Ordet var Gud. 2 Han var i begynnelsen hos Gud. 3 Genom honom har allt blivit till, och utan honom har inget blivit till, som är till. 4 I honom var liv, och livet var människornas ljus. 5 Och ljuset lyser i mörkret, och mörkret har inte övervunnit det.
6 En man trädde fram, sänd av Gud. Hans namn var Johannes. 7 Han kom som ett vittne för att vittna om ljuset, för att alla skulle komma till tro genom honom. 8 Själv var han inte ljuset, men han kom för att vittna om ljuset.
9 Det sanna ljuset, som ger ljus åt alla människor, skulle nu komma till världen. 10 Han var i världen och världen hade blivit till genom honom, och världen kände honom inte. 11 Han kom till sitt eget, och hans egna tog inte emot honom. 12 Men åt alla som tog emot honom gav han rätt att bli Guds barn, åt dem som tror på hans namn. 13 De är inte födda av blod eller av köttets vilja eller av någon mans vilja utan av Gud.
14 Och Ordet blev kött och bodde bland oss,[a] och vi såg hans härlighet, en härlighet som den Enfödde har av Fadern, och han var full av nåd och sanning. 15 Johannes vittnar om honom och ropar: "Det var om honom jag sade: Han som kommer efter mig är före mig, eftersom han var före mig." 16 Av hans fullhet har vi alla fått, nåd och åter nåd. 17 Ty lagen gavs genom Mose, nåden och sanningen kom genom Jesus Kristus. 18 Ingen har någonsin sett Gud. Den Enfödde, som själv är Gud,[b] och är hos Fadern, har gjort honom känd.
Johannes Döparens vittnesbörd
19 Detta är Johannes vittnesbörd, när judarna[c] hade sänt till honom präster och leviter från Jerusalem för att fråga honom vem han var. 20 Han bekände och förnekade inte sanningen. Han bekände: "Jag är inte Messias." 21 De frågade honom: "Vad är du då? Är du Elia?" Han sade: "Nej, det är jag inte." "Är du Profeten?"[d] Han svarade: "Nej." 22 Då sade de till honom: "Vem är du då? Vi måste ge ett svar till dem som har sänt oss. Vad säger du om dig själv?" 23 Han svarade med profeten Jesajas ord: "Jag är rösten som ropar i öknen: Gör vägen rak för Herren!" [e]
24 Några fariseer hade också sänts ut, 25 och de frågade honom: "Varför döper du, om du inte är Messias och inte heller Elia eller Profeten?" 26 Johannes svarade dem: "Jag döper i vatten. Men mitt ibland er står en som ni inte känner, 27 han som kommer efter mig. Jag är inte värd att knyta upp remmen på hans sandaler." 28 Detta hände i Betania på andra sidan Jordan, där Johannes döpte.
29 Nästa dag såg han Jesus komma, och han sade: "Se Guds lamm,[f] som tar bort världens synd. 30 Det var om honom jag sade: Efter mig kommer en man som är före mig, ty han var före mig. 31 Och jag kände honom inte. Men för att han skulle uppenbaras för Israel har jag kommit och döper i vatten."
32 Johannes vittnade och sade: "Jag såg Anden komma ner som en duva från himlen och bli kvar över honom. 33 Jag kände honom inte, men han som sände mig att döpa i vatten sade till mig: Den som du ser Anden komma ner och bli kvar över, han är den som döper i den helige Ande. 34 Och jag har sett det och har vittnat att han är Guds Son."
Jesu första lärjungar
35 Nästa dag stod Johannes där igen med två av sina lärjungar. 36 När han såg Jesus komma sade han: "Se Guds lamm!" 37 De båda lärjungarna hörde vad han sade och följde Jesus. 38 Jesus vände sig om, och när han såg att de följde honom, frågade han dem vad de ville. De svarade: "Rabbi" - det betyder lärare - "var bor du?" 39 Han sade till dem: "Kom och se!" Då gick de med honom och såg var han bodde och stannade hos honom den dagen. Det var omkring tionde timmen.
40 Andreas, Simon Petrus bror, var en av de två som hade hört vad Johannes sade och som hade följt Jesus. 41 Han fann först sin bror Simon och sade till honom: "Vi har funnit Messias" - det betyder Kristus. 42 Och han förde honom till Jesus. Jesus såg på honom och sade: "Du är Simon, Johannes son, du skall heta Kefas"[g] - det betyder Petrus.
43 Nästa dag beslöt Jesus att gå därifrån till Galileen. Han fann då Filippus och sade till honom: "Följ mig!" 44 Filippus var från Betsaida, från samma stad som Andreas och Petrus. 45 Filippus fann Natanael och sade till honom: "Den som Mose har skrivit om i lagen och som profeterna har skrivit om, honom har vi funnit, Jesus, Josefs son, från Nasaret." 46 Natanael sade till honom: "Kan något gott komma från Nasaret?" Filippus svarade: "Kom och se!" 47 När Jesus såg Natanael komma sade han om honom: "Se, han är en verklig israelit. I honom finns inget svek." 48 Natanael frågade honom: "Hur kan du känna mig?" Jesus svarade: "Innan Filippus kallade på dig, såg jag dig där du var under fikonträdet." 49 Natanael svarade: "Rabbi, du är Guds Son, du är Israels konung." 50 Jesus svarade honom: "Därför att jag sade att jag såg dig under fikonträdet, tror du. Det som är större än detta skall du få se." 51 Sedan sade han till honom: "Amen, amen[h] säger jag er: Ni kommer att få se himlen öppen och Guds änglar stiga upp och stiga ner över Människosonen."

Complete Jewish Bible
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!”
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.
