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
King James Version
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.

New International Version
John 1

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)
