John 1
Revised Standard Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God; 3 all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.
9 The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. 11 He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. 12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; 13 who 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 became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. 15 (John bore witness to him, and cried, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.’”) 16 And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only Son,[b] who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.
The Testimony of John the Baptist
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Eli′jah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 They said to him then, “Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Eli′jah, nor the prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28 This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The Lamb of God
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John bore witness, “I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.”
The First Disciples of Jesus
35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, 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, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter[c]).
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Beth-sa′ida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathan′a-el, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathan′a-el said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathan′a-el coming to him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” 48 Nathan′a-el said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathan′a-el answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
Juan 1
Ang Biblia (1978)
1 (A)Nang pasimula siya ang (B)Verbo, at ang Verbo ay (C)sumasa Dios, at ang Verbo (D)ay Dios.
2 Ito rin nang pasimula'y sumasa Dios.
3 Ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ginawa (E)sa pamamagitan niya; at alin man sa lahat ng ginawa ay hindi ginawa kung wala siya.
4 (F)Nasa kaniya ang buhay; at ang buhay ay siyang ilaw ng mga tao.
5 At ang ilaw ay lumiliwanag (G)sa kadiliman; at ito'y hindi napagunawa ng kadiliman.
6 Naparito ang isang tao, na (H)sugong mula sa Dios, na ang kaniyang pangalan ay Juan.
7 Ito'y naparitong saksi, upang kaniyang patotohanan ang ilaw, upang sa pamamagitan niya'y magsisampalataya ang lahat.
8 Hindi siya ang ilaw, kundi pumarito upang kaniyang patotohanan ang ilaw.
9 Nagkaroon ng tunay na ilaw, sa makatuwid baga'y ang ilaw na lumiliwanag sa bawa't tao, na pumaparito sa sanglibutan.
10 Siya'y nasa sanglibutan, at (I)ang sanglibuta'y ginawa sa pamamagitan niya, at hindi siya nakilala ng sanglibutan.
11 Siya'y naparito sa (J)sariling kaniya, at siya'y hindi tinanggap ng mga sariling kaniya.
12 Datapuwa't (K)ang lahat ng sa kaniya'y nagsitanggap, ay pinagkalooban niya sila ng karapatang maging mga anak ng Dios, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga nagsisisampalataya sa kaniyang pangalan:
13 Na mga ipinanganak na (L)hindi sa dugo, ni sa kalooban ng laman, ni sa kalooban ng tao, kundi ng Dios.
14 At (M)nagkatawang-tao (N)ang Verbo, at tumahan sa gitna natin (at nakita namin ang (O)kaniyang kaluwalhatian, kaluwalhatian gaya ng sa bugtong ng Ama), na puspos ng biyaya at katotohanan.
15 Pinatotohanan siya ni Juan, at sumigaw, na nagsasabi, Ito yaong aking sinasabi, (P)Ang pumaparitong nasa hulihan ko ay magiging una sa akin: (Q)sapagka't siya'y (R)una sa akin.
16 Sapagka't sa kaniyang (S)kapuspusan ay nagsitanggap tayong lahat, at biyaya sa biyaya.
17 Sapagka't ibinigay sa pamamagitan ni Moises ang kautusan; (T)ang biyaya at ang katotohanan ay nagsidating (U)sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-cristo.
18 (V)Walang taong nakakita kailan man sa Dios; (W)ang bugtong na Anak, na nasa (X)sinapupunan ng Ama, siya ang nagpakilala sa kanya.
19 At ito ang patotoo ni Juan, nang suguin sa kaniya ng mga Judio mula sa Jerusalem ang mga saserdote at mga Levita upang sa kaniya'y itanong, Sino ka baga?
20 At kaniyang ipinahayag, at hindi ikinaila; at kaniyang ipinahayag, Hindi ako ang Cristo.
21 At sa kaniya'y kanilang itinanong, Kung gayo'y ano nga? Ikaw baga'y si (Y)Elias? At sinabi niya, Hindi ako. Ikaw baga (Z)ang propeta? At siya'y sumagot, Hindi.
22 Sinabi nga nila sa kaniya, Sino ka baga? upang ibigay namin ang kasagutan sa nangagsugo sa amin. Ano ang sinasabi mo tungkol sa iyong sarili?
23 Sinabi niya, (AA)Ako ang tinig ng isang humihiyaw sa ilang, Tuwirin ninyo ang daan ng Panginoon, gaya ng sinabi ng propeta Isaias.
24 At sila'y sinugo buhat sa mga Fariseo.
25 At sa kaniya'y kanilang itinanong, at sinabi sa kaniya, Bakit nga bumabautismo ka, kung hindi ikaw ang Cristo, ni si Elias, ni ang propeta?
26 Sila'y sinagot ni Juan, na nagsasabi, (AB)Ako'y bumabautismo sa tubig: datapuwa't sa gitna ninyo'y may isang nakatayo na hindi ninyo nakikilala,
27 Siya nga ang pumaparitong sumusunod sa akin, na sa kaniya'y hindi ako karapatdapat magkalag ng panali ng kaniyang pangyapak.
28 Ang mga bagay na ito'y ginawa sa Betania, sa dako pa roon ng Jordan, na pinagbabautismuhan ni Juan.
29 Nang kinabukasan ay nakita ni Juan si Jesus na lumalapit sa kaniya, at sinabi, Narito, (AC)ang Cordero ng Dios, na nagaalis ng kasalanan ng sanglibutan!
30 (AD)Ito yaong aking sinasabi, Sa hulihan ko'y dumarating ang isang lalake na magiging una sa akin: sapagka't siya'y una sa akin.
31 At siya'y hindi ko nakilala; datapuwa't upang siya'y mahayag sa Israel, (AE)dahil dito'y naparito ako na bumabautismo sa tubig.
32 At nagpatotoo si Juan, na nagsasabi, (AF)Nakita ko ang Espiritu na bumababang tulad sa isang kalapati na buhat sa langit; at dumapo sa kaniya.
33 At siya'y hindi ko nakilala; datapuwa't ang nagsugo sa akin upang bumautismo sa tubig, ay siyang nagsabi sa akin, Ang makita mong babaan ng Espiritu, at manahan sa kaniya, ay (AG)siya nga ang bumabautismo sa Espiritu Santo.
34 At aking nakita, at pinatotohanan kong ito (AH)ang Anak ng Dios.
35 Nang kinabukasan ay muling nakatayo si Juan, at ang dalawa sa kaniyang mga alagad;
36 At kaniyang tiningnan si Jesus samantalang siya'y naglalakad, at sinabi, (AI)Narito, ang Cordero ng Dios!
37 At narinig siyang nagsalita ng dalawang alagad, at sila'y nagsisunod kay Jesus.
38 At lumingon si Jesus, at nakita silang nagsisisunod, at sinabi sa kanila, Ano ang inyong hinahanap? At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Rabi (na kung liliwanagin, ay Guro), saan ka tumitira?
39 Sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparito kayo, at inyong makikita. Nagsiparoon nga sila at nakita kung saan siya tumitira; at sila'y nagsitirang kasama niya nang araw na yaon: noo'y magiikasangpu na ang oras.
40 Ang isa sa dalawang nakarinig ng pagsasalita ni Juan, at sumunod sa kaniya, ay si (AJ)Andres na kapatid ni Simon Pedro.
41 Una niyang nasumpungan ang kaniyang sariling kapatid na si Simon, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Nasumpungan namin ang (AK)Mesias (na kung liliwanagin, ay ang (AL)Cristo).
42 Siya'y kaniyang dinala kay Jesus. Siya'y tiningnan ni Jesus, at sinabi, (AM)Ikaw ay si Simon na anak ni Juan: tatawagin kang (AN)Cefas (na kung liliwanagin, ay (AO)Pedro).
43 Nang kinabukasan ay pinasiyahan niyang pumaroon sa Galilea, at kaniyang nasumpungan si Felipe: at sa kaniya'y sinabi ni Jesus, Sumunod ka sa akin.
44 Si (AP)Felipe nga ay taga Betsaida, sa bayan ni Andres at ni Pedro.
45 Nasumpungan ni Felipe si (AQ)Natanael, at sinabi sa kaniya, Nasumpungan namin yaong isinulat ni (AR)Moises sa kautusan, at gayon din ng mga propeta, si Jesus na (AS)taga Nazaret, (AT)ang anak ni Jose.
46 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Natanael, (AU)Mangyayari bagang lumitaw ang anomang magaling na bagay sa Nazaret? Sinabi sa kaniya ni Felipe, Pumarito ka at tingnan mo.
47 Nakita ni Jesus si Natanael na lumalapit sa kaniya, at sinabi ang tungkol sa kaniya, Narito, ang isang tunay na Israelita, na sa kaniya'y walang daya!
48 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Natanael, Saan mo ako nakilala? Si Jesus ay sumagot at sinabi sa kaniya, Bago ka tinawag ni Felipe, nang ikaw ay nasa ilalim ng puno ng igos, ay nakita kita.
49 Sumagot si Natanael sa kaniya, Rabi, (AV)ikaw ang Anak ng Dios; ikaw (AW)ang Hari ng Israel.
50 Si Jesus ay sumagot at sinabi sa kaniya, Dahil baga sa sinabi ko sa iyo, Kita'y nakita sa ilalim ng puno ng igos, kaya ka sumasampalataya? makikita mo ang mga bagay na lalong dakila kay sa rito.
51 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, (AX)Makikita ninyong bukas ang langit, at ang mga anghel ng Dios na nagmamanhik-manaog sa ulunan (AY)ng Anak ng tao.
