John 1
New International Version
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)

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.
