Juan 1
Dios Habla Hoy
1 En el principio ya existía la Palabra; y aquel que es la Palabra estaba con Dios y era Dios. 2 Él estaba en el principio con Dios. 3 Por medio de él, Dios hizo todas las cosas; nada de lo que existe fue hecho sin él. 4 En él estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de la humanidad. 5 Esta luz brilla en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no han podido apagarla.
6 Hubo un hombre llamado Juan, a quien Dios envió 7 como testigo, para que diera testimonio de la luz y para que todos creyeran por lo que él decía. 8 Juan no era la luz, sino uno enviado a dar testimonio de la luz. 9 La luz verdadera que alumbra a toda la humanidad venía a este mundo.
10 Aquel que es la Palabra estaba en el mundo; y, aunque Dios hizo el mundo por medio de él, los que son del mundo no lo reconocieron. 11 Vino a su propio mundo, pero los suyos no lo recibieron. 12 Pero a quienes lo recibieron y creyeron en él, les concedió el privilegio de llegar a ser hijos de Dios. 13 Y son hijos de Dios, no por la naturaleza ni los deseos humanos, sino porque Dios los ha engendrado.
14 Aquel que es la Palabra se hizo hombre y vivió entre nosotros. Y hemos visto su gloria, la gloria que recibió del Padre, por ser su Hijo único, abundante en amor y verdad. 15 Juan dio testimonio de él, diciendo: «Éste es aquel a quien yo me refería cuando dije que el que viene después de mí es más importante que yo, porque existía antes que yo.»
16 De su abundancia todos hemos recibido un don en vez de otro; 17 porque la ley fue dada por medio de Moisés, pero el amor y la verdad se han hecho realidad por medio de Jesucristo. 18 Nadie ha visto jamás a Dios; el Hijo único, que es Dios y que vive en íntima comunión con el Padre, es quien nos lo ha dado a conocer.
Juan el Bautista da testimonio de Jesucristo(A)
19 Éste es el testimonio de Juan, cuando las autoridades judías enviaron desde Jerusalén sacerdotes y levitas a preguntarle a Juan quién era él. 20 Y él confesó claramente:
—Yo no soy el Mesías.
21 Le volvieron a preguntar:
—¿Quién eres, pues? ¿El profeta Elías?
Juan dijo:
—No lo soy.
Ellos insistieron:
—Entonces, ¿eres el profeta que ha de venir?
Contestó:
—No.
22 Le dijeron:
—¿Quién eres, pues? Tenemos que llevar una respuesta a los que nos enviaron. ¿Qué nos puedes decir de ti mismo?
23 Juan les contestó:
—Yo soy una voz que grita en el desierto: “Abran un camino derecho para el Señor”, tal como dijo el profeta Isaías.
24 Los que fueron enviados por los fariseos a hablar con Juan, 25 le preguntaron:
—Pues si no eres el Mesías, ni Elías ni el profeta, ¿por qué bautizas?
26 Juan les contestó:
—Yo bautizo con agua; pero entre ustedes hay uno que no conocen 27 y que viene después de mí. Yo ni siquiera merezco desatarle la correa de sus sandalias.
28 Todo esto sucedió en el lugar llamado Betania, al otro lado del río Jordán, donde Juan estaba bautizando.
Jesús, el Cordero de Dios
29 Al día siguiente, Juan vio a Jesús, que se acercaba a él, y dijo: «¡Miren, ése es el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo! 30 A él me refería yo cuando dije: “Después de mí viene uno que es más importante que yo, porque existía antes que yo.” 31 Yo mismo no sabía quién era; pero he venido bautizando con agua precisamente para que el pueblo de Israel lo conozca.»
32 Juan también declaró: «He visto al Espíritu Santo bajar del cielo como una paloma, y reposar sobre él. 33 Yo todavía no sabía quién era; pero el que me envió a bautizar con agua, me dijo: “Aquel sobre quien veas que el Espíritu baja y reposa, es el que bautiza con Espíritu Santo.” 34 Yo ya lo he visto, y soy testigo de que es el Hijo de Dios.»
Los primeros discípulos de Jesús
35 Al día siguiente, Juan estaba allí otra vez con dos de sus seguidores. 36 Cuando vio pasar a Jesús, Juan dijo:
—¡Miren, ése es el Cordero de Dios!
37 Los dos seguidores de Juan lo oyeron decir esto, y siguieron a Jesús. 38 Jesús se volvió, y al ver que lo seguían les preguntó:
—¿Qué están buscando?
Ellos dijeron:
—Maestro, ¿dónde vives?
39 Jesús les contestó:
—Vengan a verlo.
Fueron, pues, y vieron dónde vivía, y pasaron con él el resto del día, porque ya eran como las cuatro de la tarde.
40 Uno de los dos que oyeron a Juan y siguieron a Jesús, era Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro. 41 Al primero que Andrés se encontró fue a su hermano Simón, y le dijo:
—Hemos encontrado al Mesías (que significa: Cristo).
42 Luego Andrés llevó a Simón a donde estaba Jesús; cuando Jesús lo vio, le dijo:
—Tú eres Simón, hijo de Juan, pero tu nombre será Cefas (que significa: Pedro).
Jesús llama a Felipe y a Natanael
43 Al día siguiente, Jesús decidió ir a la región de Galilea. Encontró a Felipe, y le dijo:
—Sígueme.
44 Este Felipe era del pueblo de Betsaida, de donde eran también Andrés y Pedro. 45 Felipe fue a buscar a Natanael, y le dijo:
—Hemos encontrado a aquel de quien escribió Moisés en los libros de la ley, y de quien también escribieron los profetas. Es Jesús, el hijo de José, el de Nazaret.
46 Dijo Natanael:
—¿Acaso de Nazaret puede salir algo bueno?
Felipe le contestó:
—Ven y compruébalo.
47 Cuando Jesús vio acercarse a Natanael, dijo:
—Aquí viene un verdadero israelita, en quien no hay engaño.
48 Natanael le preguntó:
—¿Cómo es que me conoces?
Jesús le respondió:
—Te vi antes que Felipe te llamara, cuando estabas debajo de la higuera.
49 Natanael le dijo:
—Maestro, ¡tú eres el Hijo de Dios, tú eres el Rey de Israel!
50 Jesús le contestó:
—¿Me crees solamente porque te he dicho que te vi debajo de la higuera? Pues vas a ver cosas más grandes que éstas.
51 También dijo Jesús:
—Les aseguro que ustedes verán el cielo abierto, y a los ángeles de Dios subir y bajar sobre el Hijo del hombre.
John 1
Common English Bible
Story of the Word
1 In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
2 The Word was with God in the beginning.
3 Everything came into being through the Word,
and without the Word
nothing came into being.
What came into being
4 through the Word was life,[a]
and the life was the light for all people.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness doesn’t extinguish the light.
6 A man named John was sent from God. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning the light, so that through him everyone would believe in the light. 8 He himself wasn’t the light, but his mission was to testify concerning the light.
9 The true light that shines on all people
was coming into the world.
10 The light was in the world,
and the world came into being through the light,
but the world didn’t recognize the light.
11 The light came to his own people,
and his own people didn’t welcome him.
12 But those who did welcome him,
those who believed in his name,
he authorized to become God’s children,
13 born not from blood
nor from human desire or passion,
but born from God.
14 The Word became flesh
and made his home among us.
We have seen his glory,
glory like that of a father’s only son,
full of grace and truth.
15 John testified about him, crying out, “This is the one of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than me because he existed before me.’”
16 From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace;
17 as the Law was given through Moses,
so grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God.
God the only Son,
who is at the Father’s side,
has made God known.
John’s witness
19 This is John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 John confessed (he didn’t deny but confessed), “I’m not the Christ.”
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”
John said, “I’m not.”
“Are you the prophet?”
John answered, “No.”
22 They asked, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John replied,
“I am a voice crying out in the wilderness,
Make the Lord’s path straight,[b]
just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Those sent by the Pharisees 25 asked, “Why do you baptize if you aren’t the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
26 John answered, “I baptize with water. Someone greater stands among you, whom you don’t recognize. 27 He comes after me, but I’m not worthy to untie his sandal straps.” 28 This encounter took place across the Jordan in Bethany where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one about whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is really greater than me because he existed before me.’ 31 Even I didn’t recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be made known to Israel.” 32 John testified, “I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it rested on him. 33 Even I didn’t recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen and testified that this one is God’s Son.”
Jesus calls disciples
35 The next day John was standing again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus walking along he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard what he said, and they followed Jesus.
38 When Jesus turned and saw them following, he asked, “What are you looking for?”
They said, “Rabbi (which is translated Teacher), where are you staying?”
39 He replied, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.
40 One of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Christ[c] ). 42 He led him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
43 The next day Jesus wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, Joseph’s son, from Nazareth.”
46 Nathanael responded, “Can anything from Nazareth be good?”
Philip said, “Come and see.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Here is a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
49 Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are God’s Son. You are the king of Israel.”
50 Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these! 51 I assure you that you will see heaven open and God’s angels going up to heaven and down to earth on the Human One.”[d]
約翰福音 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
生命之道
1 太初,道已經存在,道與上帝同在,道就是上帝。 2 太初,道就與上帝同在。 3 萬物都是藉著祂造的[a],受造之物沒有一樣不是藉著祂造的。 4 祂裡面有生命,這生命是人類的光。 5 光照進黑暗裡,黑暗不能勝過[b]光。
6 有一個人名叫約翰,是上帝差來的。 7 他來是要為光做見證,叫世人可以藉著他而相信。 8 約翰不是那光,他來是為那光做見證。 9 那照亮世人的真光來到了世上。 10 祂來到自己所創造的世界,世界卻不認識祂。 11 祂來到自己的地方,自己的人卻不接納祂。 12 但所有接納祂的,就是那些信祂的人,祂就賜給他們權利成為上帝的兒女。 13 這些人既不是從人的血緣關係生的,也不是從人的情慾或意願生的,而是從上帝生的。
14 道成為肉身,住在我們中間,充滿了恩典和真理。我們見過祂的榮耀,正是父獨一兒子的榮耀。
15 約翰為祂做見證的時候,高聲喊道:「這就是我以前所說的那位,『祂在我以後來卻比我位分高,因為祂在我之前已經存在了。』」 16 從祂的豐盛裡,我們一次又一次地領受了恩典。 17 因為律法是藉著摩西頒佈的,恩典和真理是藉著耶穌基督賜下來的。 18 從來沒有人見過上帝,只有父懷中的獨一上帝[c]把祂顯明出來。
施洗者約翰的見證
19 以下是約翰的見證。猶太人從耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人來找約翰,查問他是誰。 20 約翰毫不隱瞞地說:「我不是基督。」
21 他們問:「那麼,你是誰?是以利亞嗎?」
他說:「不是。」
他們又問:「你是那位先知嗎?」
他說:「也不是。」
22 他們又追問:「你到底是誰?我們好回覆差我們來的人。你自己說你是誰?」
23 他說:「我就是在曠野大聲呼喊『修直主的路』的那個人,正如以賽亞先知所言。」
24 派來的人當中有幾個法利賽人[d],他們問他: 25 「你既然不是基督,不是以利亞,也不是那位先知,那你為什麼給人施洗呢?」
26 約翰答道:「我是用水施洗,但在你們中間有一位你們不認識的, 27 祂雖然是在我以後來的,我就是給祂解鞋帶也不配。」 28 這事發生在約旦河東岸的伯大尼,那裡是約翰給人施洗的地方。
上帝的羔羊
29 次日,約翰看見耶穌走過來,就說:「看啊!上帝的羔羊,除去世人罪惡的! 30 這就是我以前所說的那位,『有一個人在我以後來卻比我位分高,因為祂在我之前已經存在了。』 31 我以前並不認識祂,現在我用水給人施洗,是要把祂顯明給以色列人。」
32 約翰又做見證說:「我看見聖靈好像鴿子一樣從天降下,住在祂身上。 33 我本來不認識祂,但那位差我來用水給人施洗的告訴我,『你看見聖靈降下,住在誰身上,誰就是用聖靈給人施洗的。』 34 我看見了,便做見證,祂就是上帝的兒子。」
第一批門徒
35 再次日,約翰和兩個門徒站在那裡, 36 他看見耶穌經過,就說:「看啊!這是上帝的羔羊!」 37 兩個門徒聽見他的話,便跟從了耶穌。 38 耶穌轉過身來,看見他們跟著,便問:「你們想要什麼?」
他們說:「老師[e],你住在哪裡?」
39 耶穌說:「你們來看吧。」他們便跟著去看耶穌住的地方。到了那裡大約下午四點了,他們就住在耶穌那裡。 40 聽見約翰的話後跟從耶穌的兩個人中,有一個是西門·彼得的弟弟安得烈。 41 他首先去找他哥哥西門,說:「我們找到彌賽亞了!」彌賽亞的意思是基督[f]。 42 他帶著西門去見耶穌。
耶穌看著西門,對他說:「約翰的兒子西門,你要改名為磯法。」磯法的意思是彼得。
43 又過了一天,耶穌決定去加利利。祂遇見了腓力,就對他說:「跟從我!」 44 腓力是伯賽大人,與彼得、安得烈是同鄉。 45 腓力去找拿但業,對他說:「我們遇見了摩西律法書和先知書記載的那位!祂是約瑟的兒子耶穌,從拿撒勒來的。」
46 拿但業說:「拿撒勒還會出什麼好東西?」
腓力說:「你來看看吧!」
47 耶穌看見拿但業走過來,就指著他說:「看啊,這是個真正的以色列人!他心裡毫無詭詐。」
48 拿但業問耶穌:「你怎麼會認識我?」
耶穌答道:「腓力還沒有去找你之前,我就看見你在無花果樹下了。」
49 拿但業說:「老師,你是上帝的兒子!你是以色列的王!」
50 耶穌說:「我說看見你在無花果樹下,你就信我嗎?將來你還要看見比這更大的事。 51 我實實在在地告訴你們,你們會看見天門敞開,上帝的天使以人子[g]為梯上上下下。」
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)
