Juan 1
Nueva Versión Internacional

El Verbo se hizo hombre

1 En el principio ya existía el Verbo,
    y el Verbo estaba con Dios,
    y el Verbo era Dios.
2 Él estaba con Dios en el principio.
3 Por medio de él todas las cosas fueron creadas;
    sin él, nada de lo creado llegó a existir.
4 En él estaba la vida
    y la vida era la luz de la humanidad.
5 Esta luz resplandece en la oscuridad
    y la oscuridad no ha podido apagarla.[a]

6 Vino un hombre llamado Juan. Dios lo envió 7 como testigo para dar testimonio de la luz, a fin de que por medio de él todos creyeran. 8 Juan no era la luz, sino que vino para dar testimonio de la luz. 9 Esa luz verdadera, la que alumbra a todo ser humano, venía a este mundo.[b]

10 El que era la luz ya estaba en el mundo y el mundo fue creado por medio de él, pero el mundo no lo reconoció. 11 Vino a lo que era suyo, pero los suyos no lo recibieron. 12 Mas a cuantos lo recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio el derecho de ser hechos hijos de Dios. 13 Estos no nacen de la sangre, ni por deseos naturales, ni por voluntad humana, sino que nacen de Dios.

14 Y el Verbo se hizo hombre y habitó[c] entre nosotros. Y contemplamos su gloria, la gloria que corresponde al Hijo único del Padre, lleno de gracia y de verdad.

15 Juan dio testimonio de él y a voz en cuello proclamó: «Este es aquel de quien yo decía: “El que viene después de mí es superior a mí, porque existía antes que yo”». 16 De su plenitud todos recibimos gracia sobre gracia, 17 pues la Ley fue dada por medio de Moisés, mientras que la gracia y la verdad nos han llegado por medio de Jesucristo. 18 A Dios nadie lo ha visto nunca; el Hijo único, que es Dios[d] y que vive en unión íntima con el Padre, nos lo ha dado a conocer.

Juan el Bautista niega ser el Cristo

19 Este es el testimonio de Juan cuando los judíos de Jerusalén enviaron sacerdotes y levitas a preguntarle quién era. 20 No se negó a declararlo, sino que confesó con franqueza:

—Yo no soy el Cristo.

21 —¿Quién eres entonces? —le preguntaron—. ¿Acaso eres Elías?

—No lo soy.

—¿Eres el profeta?

—No lo soy.

22 —Entonces, ¿quién eres? Tenemos que llevar una respuesta a los que nos enviaron. ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?

23 Juan respondió con las palabras del profeta Isaías:

—“Yo soy la voz de uno que grita en el desierto: ‘Enderecen el camino para el Señor’ ”.[e]

24 Los que habían sido enviados eran de los fariseos. 25 Ellos preguntaron:

—Pues, si no eres el Cristo ni Elías ni el profeta, ¿por qué bautizas?

26 Juan respondió:

—Yo bautizo con[f] agua, pero entre ustedes hay alguien a quien no conocen 27 y que viene después de mí, al cual yo no soy digno ni siquiera de desatarle la correa de las sandalias.

28 Todo esto sucedió en 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: «¡Aquí tienen al Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo! 30 De este hablaba yo cuando dije: “Después de mí viene un hombre que es superior a mí, porque existía antes que yo”. 31 Yo ni siquiera lo conocía, pero para que él se revelara al pueblo de Israel, vine bautizando con agua».

32 Juan declaró: «Vi al Espíritu descender del cielo como una paloma y permanecer sobre él. 33 Yo mismo no lo conocía, pero el que me envió a bautizar con agua me dijo: “Aquel sobre quien veas que el Espíritu desciende y permanece es el que bautiza con el Espíritu Santo”. 34 Yo lo he visto y por eso testifico que este es el Hijo de Dios».

Los primeros discípulos de Jesús(A)

35 Al día siguiente, Juan estaba de nuevo allí con dos de sus discípulos. 36 Al ver a Jesús que pasaba por ahí, dijo:

—¡Aquí tienen al Cordero de Dios!

37 Cuando los dos discípulos lo oyeron decir esto, siguieron a Jesús. 38 Jesús se volvió y al ver que lo seguían, les preguntó:

—¿Qué buscan?

—Rabí, ¿dónde te hospedas? (Rabí significa “Maestro”.)

39 —Vengan a ver —contestó Jesús.

Ellos fueron, pues, y vieron dónde se hospedaba. Ese mismo día se quedaron con él. Eran como las cuatro de la tarde.

40 Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro, era uno de los dos que, al oír a Juan, había seguido a Jesús. 41 Andrés encontró primero a su hermano Simón y le dijo:

—Hemos encontrado al Mesías —es decir, el Cristo.

42 Luego lo llevó a Jesús, quien lo miró y dijo:

—Tú eres Simón, hijo de Juan. Serás llamado Cefas —es decir, Pedro.[g]

Jesús llama a Felipe y a Natanael

43 Al día siguiente, Jesús decidió salir hacia Galilea. Se encontró con Felipe y lo llamó:

«Sígueme».

44 Felipe era del pueblo de Betsaida, lo mismo que Andrés y Pedro. 45 Felipe buscó a Natanael y le dijo:

—Hemos encontrado a Jesús de Nazaret, el hijo de José, aquel de quien escribió Moisés en la Ley y de quien escribieron los profetas.

46 —¡De Nazaret! —respondió Natanael—. ¿Acaso de allí puede salir algo bueno?

—Ven a ver —contestó Felipe.

47 Cuando Jesús vio que Natanael se acercaba, comentó:

—Aquí tienen a un verdadero israelita en quien no hay falsedad.

48 —¿De dónde me conoces? —preguntó Natanael.

Jesús respondió:

—Antes de que Felipe te llamara, cuando aún estabas bajo la higuera, ya te había visto.

49 —Rabí, ¡tú eres el Hijo de Dios! ¡Tú eres el Rey de Israel! —declaró Natanael.

50 Jesús le dijo:

—¿Lo crees porque te dije que te vi cuando estabas debajo de la higuera? ¡Vas a ver aún cosas más grandes que estas!

51 Y añadió con firmeza:

—Les aseguro que ustedes verán abrirse el cielo, y a los ángeles de Dios subir y bajar sobre el Hijo del hombre.

John 1
Lexham English Bible

The Prologue to John’s Gospel

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 This one was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that[a] has come into being. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.[b] 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome[c] it.

6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was[d] John. 7 This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him. 8 That one was not the light, but came[e] in order that he could testify about the light. 9 The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, and the world did not recognize[f] him. 11 He came to his own things, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But as many as received him—to those who believe in his name—he gave to them authority to become children of God, 13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a husband, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This one was he about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’” 16 For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father—that one has made him[g] known.

John the Baptist Testifies to Jesus

19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent[h] priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed—and he did not deny, and confessed—“I am not the Christ!” 21 And they asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not!” “Are you the Prophet?”[i] And he answered, “No!” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

23 He said,

“I am ‘the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
    “Make straight the way of the Lord,”’[j]

just as Isaiah the prophet said.” 24 (And they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 And they asked him and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. In your midst stands one whom you do not know— 27 the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie[k] the strap of his sandal!” 28 These things took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This one is the one about whom I said, ‘After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ 31 And I did not know him, but in order that he could be revealed to Israel, because of this I came baptizing with water.”

32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him. 33 And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, ‘The one upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him—this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One[l] of God.

Two of John’s Disciples Follow Jesus

35 On the next day again John was standing there,[m] and two of his disciples, 36 and looking at Jesus as he[n] was walking by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” 37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him,[o] said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means when[p] translated “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 (it was about the tenth hour).

Andrew Declares Jesus to be the Messiah

40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed him. 41 This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is translated “Christ”). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is interpreted “Peter”).

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 On the next day he wanted to depart for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me!” 44 (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.) 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets wrote about—Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!” 46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see!”

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Look! A true Israelite[q] in whom is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you[r] were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the king of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that 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 all of you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
