Juan 1
Magandang Balita Biblia
Ang Salita ng Buhay
1 Nang pasimula ay naroon na ang Salita; ang Salita ay kasama ng Diyos, at ang Salita ay Diyos. 2 Sa pasimula ay kasama na ng Diyos ang Salita. 3 Nilikha ang lahat ng bagay sa pamamagitan niya, at walang anumang nalikha nang hindi sa pamamagitan niya. 4 Nasa kanya ang buhay,[a] at ang buhay ay siyang ilaw ng sangkatauhan. 5 Nagliliwanag sa kadiliman ang ilaw, at hindi ito nagapi kailanman ng kadiliman.
6 Sinugo(A) ng Diyos ang isang tao na nagngangalang Juan. 7 Naparito siya upang magpatotoo tungkol sa ilaw at upang ang lahat ay sumampalataya sa pamamagitan niya. 8 Hindi siya ang ilaw subalit naparito siya upang magpatotoo tungkol sa ilaw. 9 Ito ang tunay na ilaw: dumarating ito sa sanlibutan upang magbigay liwanag sa lahat ng tao.[b]
10 Dumating ang Salita sa sanlibutan ngunit hindi siya kinilala ng sanlibutang ito na nilikha sa pamamagitan niya. 11 Pumunta siya sa kanyang bayan ngunit hindi siya tinanggap ng sarili niyang kababayan. 12 Subalit ang lahat ng tumanggap at sumampalataya sa kanya ay binigyan niya ng karapatang maging mga anak ng Diyos. 13 Sila ay naging mga anak ng Diyos, hindi dahil sa isinilang sila ayon sa kalikasan o sa kagustuhan o sa kagagawan ng tao, kundi ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos.
14 Naging tao ang Salita at nanirahan sa piling namin. Nakita namin ang kaluwalhatiang tunay na kanya bilang kaisa-isang Anak ng Ama. Siya ay puspos ng kagandahang-loob at ng katotohanan.
15 Nagpatotoo si Juan tungkol sa kanya, na isinisigaw, “Siya ang tinutukoy ko nang aking sabihin, ‘Ang dumarating na kasunod ko'y higit kaysa sa akin, sapagkat siya ay naroon na bago pa man ako ipanganak.’”
16 Mula sa kapuspusan ng kanyang kagandahang-loob, tumanggap tayong lahat ng abut-abot na kagandahang-loob. 17 Ibinigay ang Kautusan sa pamamagitan ni Moises; ngunit dumating ang kagandahang-loob at katotohanan sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo. 18 Kailanma'y wala pang taong nakakita sa Diyos, ngunit ang natatanging Diyos[c] na pinakamamahal ng Ama, ang nagpakilala sa Ama.
Ang Patotoo ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(B)
19 Ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio sa Jerusalem ay nagsugo ng mga pari at Levita upang itanong kay Juan kung sino nga ba siya. 20 Hindi nagkaila si Juan; sa halip ay maliwanag niyang sinabi, “Hindi ako ang Cristo.”
21 “Sino(C) ka kung gayon?” tanong nila. “Ikaw ba si Elias?”
“Hindi ako si Elias,” tugon niya.
“Ikaw ba ang Propeta?”
Sumagot siya, “Hindi rin.”
22 “Sino ka kung gayon? Sabihin mo kung sino ka upang may masabi kami sa mga nagsugo sa amin. Ano ang masasabi mo tungkol sa iyong sarili?” tanong nilang muli.
23 Sumagot(D) si Juan ayon sa nasusulat sa aklat ni Propeta Isaias,
“Ako ang tinig ng isang taong sumisigaw sa ilang,
‘Tuwirin ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon.’”
24 Ang mga nagtanong ay sugo ng mga Pariseo. 25 Muli nilang tinanong si Juan, “Bakit ka nagbabautismo, gayong hindi naman pala ikaw ang Cristo, o si Elias, o ang Propeta?”
26 Sumagot si Juan, “Ako'y nagbabautismo sa tubig, ngunit nasa inyong kalagitnaan ang isang hindi ninyo nakikilala. 27 Dumarating siyang kasunod ko subalit hindi man lamang ako karapat-dapat na magkalag ng tali ng kanyang sandalyas.”
28 Ang mga ito'y nangyari sa Bethania, sa silangan ng Ilog Jordan na pinagbabautismuhan ni Juan.
Ang Kordero ng Diyos
29 Kinabukasan, nakita ni Juan si Jesus na lumalapit sa kanya. Sinabi niya, “Tingnan ninyo, siya ang Kordero ng Diyos na nag-aalis ng kasalanan ng sanlibutan. 30 Siya ang tinutukoy ko nang sabihin kong ang dumarating na kasunod ko ay higit sa akin, sapagkat siya'y naroon na bago pa man ako ipanganak. 31 Hindi ko rin siya kilala noon subalit ako'y naparitong nagbabautismo sa tubig upang ipakilala siya sa Israel.”
32 Ganito ang patotoo ni Juan: “Nakita ko ang Espiritu na bumababa na parang isang kalapati na buhat sa langit at nanatili sa kanya. 33 Hindi ko nga siya kilala noon. Ngunit ang nagsugo sa akin upang magbautismo sa tubig ang siyang nagsabi sa akin, ‘Kung kanino mo makitang bumabâ at manatili ang Espiritu, siya ang magbabautismo sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo.’ 34 Ngayon ay nakita ko siya, at pinapatotohanan kong siya ang Anak ng Diyos.”
Ang Unang Apat na Alagad ni Jesus
35 Kinabukasan, naroon muli si Juan kasama ang dalawa sa kanyang mga alagad. 36 Nang makita niya si Jesus na nagdaraan ay kanyang sinabi, “Tingnan ninyo, siya ang Kordero ng Diyos!”
37 Narinig ng dalawang alagad ang sinabi niya, kaya't sumunod sila kay Jesus. 38 Lumingon si Jesus, at nang makita niyang sumusunod sa kanya ang mga ito, sila'y tinanong niya, “Ano ang kailangan ninyo?”
Sumagot sila, “Saan po kayo nakatira, Rabi?” Ang kahulugan ng salitang ito'y Guro.
39 “Halikayo at tingnan ninyo,” sabi ni Jesus.
Sumama sila kay Jesus at nakita nila ang kanyang tinitirhan; at tumuloy sila roon nang araw na iyon. Noo'y mag-aalas kuwatro na ng hapon.
40 Ang isa sa dalawang alagad na nakarinig kay Juan at sumunod kay Jesus ay si Andres na kapatid ni Simon Pedro. 41 Unang hinanap ni Andres ang kanyang kapatid na si Simon. Sinabi niya rito, “Nakita na namin ang Mesiyas!” Ang kahulugan ng salitang ito'y Cristo. 42 At isinama ni Andres si Simon kay Jesus.
Tiningnan ni Jesus si Simon at sinabi sa kanya, “Ikaw ay si Simon na anak ni Juan. Ikaw ay tatawaging Cefas”[d] (na ang katumbas ay Pedro[e]).
Ang Pagkatawag kina Felipe at Nathanael
43 Kinabukasan, minabuti ni Jesus na pumunta sa Galilea. Nakita niya roon si Felipe at sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” 44 Si Felipe ay taga-Bethsaida, tulad nina Andres at Pedro.
45 Nakita ni Felipe si Nathanael at sinabi niya dito, “Natagpuan na namin ang tinutukoy ni Moises sa kanyang isinulat sa aklat ng Kautusan at gayundin ng mga propeta. Siya'y si Jesus na taga-Nazaret, na anak ni Jose.”
46 “May mabuti bang maaaring magmula sa Nazaret?” tanong ni Nathanael.
Sumagot si Felipe, “Halika't tingnan mo.”
47 Nang malapit na si Nathanael ay sinabi ni Jesus, “Masdan ninyo ang isang tunay na Israelita. Wala siyang anumang pagkukunwari.”
48 Tinanong siya ni Nathanael, “Paano ninyo ako nakilala?”
Sumagot si Jesus, “Bago ka pa tawagin ni Felipe, nakita na kita nang ikaw ay nasa ilalim ng puno ng igos.”
49 Sumagot si Nathanael, “Rabi, kayo nga po ang Anak ng Diyos! Kayo ang Hari ng Israel!”
50 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Sumampalataya ka ba dahil sa sinabi ko sa iyong nakita kita sa ilalim ng puno ng igos? Higit pa riyan ang masasaksihan mo.” 51 At(E) sinabi niya sa kanya, “Pakatandaan mo: makikita ninyong bukás ang langit, at ang mga anghel ng Diyos ay manhik-manaog sa kinaroroonan ng Anak ng Tao!”

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.”

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.
