John 1
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.”

Juan 1
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 Nang pasimula siya ang Verbo, at ang Verbo ay sumasa Dios, at ang Verbo ay Dios.
2 Ito rin nang pasimula'y sumasa Dios.
3 Ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ginawa sa pamamagitan niya; at alin man sa lahat ng ginawa ay hindi ginawa kung wala siya.
4 Nasa kaniya ang buhay; at ang buhay ay siyang ilaw ng mga tao.
5 At ang ilaw ay lumiliwanag sa kadiliman; at ito'y hindi napagunawa ng kadiliman.
6 Naparito ang isang tao, na 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 ang sanglibuta'y ginawa sa pamamagitan niya, at hindi siya nakilala ng sanglibutan.
11 Siya'y naparito sa sariling kaniya, at siya'y hindi tinanggap ng mga sariling kaniya.
12 Datapuwa't 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 hindi sa dugo, ni sa kalooban ng laman, ni sa kalooban ng tao, kundi ng Dios.
14 At nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo, at tumahan sa gitna natin (at nakita namin ang 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, Ang pumaparitong nasa hulihan ko ay magiging una sa akin: sapagka't siya'y una sa akin.
16 Sapagka't sa kaniyang kapuspusan ay nagsitanggap tayong lahat, at biyaya sa biyaya.
17 Sapagka't ibinigay sa pamamagitan ni Moises ang kautusan; ang biyaya at ang katotohanan ay nagsidating sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-cristo.
18 Walang taong nakakita kailan man sa Dios; ang bugtong na Anak, na nasa 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 Elias? At sinabi niya, Hindi ako. Ikaw baga 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, 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, 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, ang Cordero ng Dios, na nagaalis ng kasalanan ng sanglibutan!
30 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, dahil dito'y naparito ako na bumabautismo sa tubig.
32 At nagpatotoo si Juan, na nagsasabi, 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 siya nga ang bumabautismo sa Espiritu Santo.
34 At aking nakita, at pinatotohanan kong ito 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, 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 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 Mesias (na kung liliwanagin, ay ang Cristo).
42 Siya'y kaniyang dinala kay Jesus. Siya'y tiningnan ni Jesus, at sinabi, Ikaw ay si Simon na anak ni Juan: tatawagin kang Cefas (na kung liliwanagin, ay 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 Felipe nga ay taga Betsaida, sa bayan ni Andres at ni Pedro.
45 Nasumpungan ni Felipe si Natanael, at sinabi sa kaniya, Nasumpungan namin yaong isinulat ni Moises sa kautusan, at gayon din ng mga propeta, si Jesus na taga Nazaret, ang anak ni Jose.
46 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Natanael, 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, ikaw ang Anak ng Dios; ikaw 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, Makikita ninyong bukas ang langit, at ang mga anghel ng Dios na nagmamanhik-manaog sa ulunan ng Anak ng tao.
