Das Wort

1 Im Anfang war das Wort, und das Wort war bei Gott, und Gott war das Wort.^[1] (1Mo 1,1; Joh 17,5; 1Joh 1,1; Offb 19,13)

1Mo 1,1Joh 17,51Joh 1,1Offb 19,13

2 Dasselbe war im Anfang bei Gott. 3 Alle Dinge sind durch dasselbe gemacht, und ohne dasselbe ist nichts gemacht, was gemacht ist.^[2] (1Kor 8,6; Kol 1,16; Hebr 1,2) 4 In ihm war das Leben, und das Leben war das Licht der Menschen. (Joh 8,12) 5 Und das Licht scheint in der Finsternis, und die Finsternis hat’s nicht ergriffen. (Joh 3,19) 6 Es war ein Mensch, von Gott gesandt, der hieß Johannes. (Mt 3,1) 7 Der kam zum Zeugnis, damit er von dem Licht zeuge, auf dass alle durch ihn glaubten. (Apg 19,4) 8 Er war nicht das Licht, sondern er sollte zeugen von dem Licht. 9 Das war das wahre Licht, das alle Menschen erleuchtet, die in diese Welt kommen^[3]. 10 Es war in der Welt, und die Welt ist durch dasselbe gemacht; und die Welt erkannte es nicht. 11 Er kam in sein Eigentum; und die Seinen nahmen ihn nicht auf. (Ps 24,1) 12 Wie viele ihn aber aufnahmen, denen gab er Macht, Gottes Kinder zu werden: denen, die an seinen Namen glauben, (Gal 3,26) 13 die nicht aus menschlichem Geblüt noch aus dem Willen des Fleisches noch aus dem Willen eines Mannes, sondern aus Gott geboren sind. (Joh 3,5; Weis 7,2) 14 Und das Wort ward Fleisch^[4] und wohnte unter uns, und wir sahen seine Herrlichkeit, eine Herrlichkeit als des eingeborenen Sohnes vom Vater, voller Gnade und Wahrheit. (2Mo 33,18; Jes 60,1; 1Tim 3,16; 2Petr 1,16)

2Mo 33,18Jes 60,11Tim 3,162Petr 1,16

15 Johannes zeugt von ihm und ruft: Dieser war es, von dem ich gesagt habe: Nach mir wird kommen, der vor mir gewesen ist; denn er war eher als ich. 16 Von seiner Fülle haben wir alle genommen Gnade um Gnade. (Joh 3,34; Kol 1,19) 17 Denn das Gesetz ist durch Mose gegeben; die Gnade und Wahrheit ist durch Jesus Christus geworden. (Röm 10,4) 18 Niemand hat Gott je gesehen; der Eingeborene, der Gott ist und in des Vaters Schoß ist, der hat es verkündigt. (Mt 11,27; Joh 6,46)

Das Zeugnis des Täufers

19 Und dies ist das Zeugnis des Johannes, als die Juden zu ihm sandten aus Jerusalem Priester und Leviten, dass sie ihn fragten: Wer bist du? (Mt 3,1; Mk 1,1; Lk 3,1) 20 Und er bekannte und leugnete nicht, und er bekannte: Ich bin nicht der Christus. 21 Und sie fragten ihn: Was dann? Bist du Elia? Er sprach: Ich bin’s nicht. Bist du der Prophet? Und er antwortete: Nein. (5Mo 18,15; Mal 3,23; Mt 17,10) 22 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Wer bist du dann?, dass wir Antwort geben denen, die uns gesandt haben. Was sagst du von dir selbst? 23 Er sprach: »Ich bin die Stimme eines Predigers^[5] in der Wüste: Ebnet den Weg des Herrn!«, wie der Prophet Jesaja gesagt hat. 24 Und sie waren abgesandt von den Pharisäern, 25 und sie fragten ihn und sprachen zu ihm: Warum taufst du denn, wenn du nicht der Christus bist noch Elia noch der Prophet? 26 Johannes antwortete ihnen und sprach: Ich taufe mit Wasser; aber er ist mitten unter euch getreten, den ihr nicht kennt. (Lk 17,21) 27 Der wird nach mir kommen, und ich bin nicht wert, dass ich seine Schuhriemen löse. 28 Dies geschah in Betanien jenseits des Jordans, wo Johannes taufte. 29 Am nächsten Tag sieht Johannes, dass Jesus zu ihm kommt, und spricht: Siehe, das ist Gottes Lamm, das der Welt Sünde trägt! (Jes 53,7) 30 Dieser ist’s, von dem ich gesagt habe: Nach mir kommt ein Mann, der vor mir gewesen ist, denn er war eher als ich. 31 Und ich kannte ihn nicht. Aber damit er offenbar werde für Israel, darum bin ich gekommen zu taufen mit Wasser. 32 Und Johannes bezeugte es und sprach: Ich sah, dass der Geist herabfuhr wie eine Taube vom Himmel und blieb auf ihm. 33 Und ich kannte ihn nicht. Aber der mich gesandt hat zu taufen mit Wasser, der sprach zu mir: Auf welchen du siehst den Geist herabfahren und auf ihm bleiben, der ist’s, der mit dem Heiligen Geist tauft. 34 Und ich habe es gesehen und bezeugt: Dieser ist Gottes Sohn.

Die ersten Jünger

35 Am nächsten Tag stand Johannes abermals da und zwei seiner Jünger; 36 und als er Jesus vorübergehen sah, sprach er: Siehe, das ist Gottes Lamm! 37 Und die zwei Jünger hörten ihn reden und folgten Jesus nach. 38 Jesus aber wandte sich um und sah sie nachfolgen und sprach zu ihnen: Was sucht ihr? Sie aber sprachen zu ihm: Rabbi – das heißt übersetzt: Meister^[6] –, wo wirst du bleiben? 39 Er sprach zu ihnen: Kommt und seht! Sie kamen und sahen’s und blieben diesen Tag bei ihm. Es war aber um die zehnte Stunde. 40 Einer von den zweien, die Johannes gehört hatten und Jesus nachgefolgt waren, war Andreas, der Bruder des Simon Petrus. (Mt 4,18; Mk 1,16) 41 Der findet zuerst seinen Bruder Simon und spricht zu ihm: Wir haben den Messias gefunden, das heißt übersetzt: der Gesalbte. 42 Und er führte ihn zu Jesus. Als Jesus ihn sah, sprach er: Du bist Simon, der Sohn des Johannes; du sollst Kephas heißen, das heißt übersetzt: Fels. (Mt 16,18) 43 Am nächsten Tag wollte Jesus nach Galiläa ziehen und findet Philippus und spricht zu ihm: Folge mir nach! 44 Philippus aber war aus Betsaida, der Stadt des Andreas und des Petrus. 45 Philippus findet Nathanael und spricht zu ihm: Wir haben den gefunden, von dem Mose im Gesetz und die Propheten geschrieben haben, Jesus, Josefs Sohn, aus Nazareth. (5Mo 18,18; Jes 53,2; Jer 23,5; Hes 34,23)

5Mo 18,18Jes 53,2Jer 23,5Hes 34,23

46 Und Nathanael sprach zu ihm: Was kann aus Nazareth Gutes kommen! Philippus spricht zu ihm: Komm und sieh! (Joh 7,41) 47 Jesus sah Nathanael kommen und sagt von ihm: Siehe, ein rechter Israelit, in dem kein Falsch ist. 48 Nathanael spricht zu ihm: Woher kennst du mich? Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Bevor Philippus dich rief, als du unter dem Feigenbaum warst, habe ich dich gesehen. 49 Nathanael antwortete ihm: Rabbi, du bist Gottes Sohn, du bist der König von Israel! (Ps 2,7; Jer 23,5; Mt 14,33; Mt 16,16; Joh 6,69)

Ps 2,7Jer 23,5Mt 14,33Mt 16,16Joh 6,69

50 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Du glaubst, weil ich dir gesagt habe, dass ich dich gesehen habe unter dem Feigenbaum. Du wirst noch Größeres sehen als das. 51 Und er spricht zu ihm: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Ihr werdet den Himmel offen sehen und die Engel Gottes hinauf- und herabfahren über dem Menschensohn. (1Mo 28,12; Mt 4,11)

The Word Became Flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (1Mo 1,1; Joh 17,5; Phil 2,6; Kol 1,17; Hebr 4,12; 1Joh 1,1; 1Joh 1,2; Offb 1,4; Offb 1,8; Offb 1,17; Offb 3,14; Offb 19,13; Offb 21,6; Offb 22,13)

2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (Ps 33,6; Joh 1,10; 1Kor 8,6; Kol 1,16; Hebr 1,2)

Ps 33,6Joh 1,101Kor 8,6Kol 1,16Hebr 1,2

4 In him was life,^[1] and the life was the light of men. (Joh 5,26; Joh 8,12; Joh 9,5; Joh 11,25; Joh 12,46; 1Joh 1,2; 1Joh 5,11)

Joh 5,26Joh 8,12Joh 9,5Joh 11,25Joh 12,461Joh 1,21Joh 5,11

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (Joh 3,19) 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. (Mal 3,1; Mt 3,1; Mk 1,4; Lk 3,2; Joh 1,33; Joh 3,28)

Mal 3,1Mt 3,1Mk 1,4Lk 3,2Joh 1,33Joh 3,28

7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. (Joh 3,26; Joh 5,33; Apg 19,4) 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. (Joh 1,20) 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. (Jes 49,6; 1Joh 2,8) 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. (Joh 16,3; 1Joh 3,1) 11 He came to his own,^[2] and his own people^[3] did not receive him. (Mt 21,38; Joh 3,11; Joh 3,32; Joh 5,43; Joh 13,1)

Mt 21,38Joh 3,11Joh 3,32Joh 5,43Joh 13,1

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, (Mt 5,45; Joh 11,52; Gal 3,26; 1Joh 3,1; 1Joh 5,1; 1Joh 5,13)

Mt 5,45Joh 11,52Gal 3,261Joh 3,11Joh 5,11Joh 5,13

13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (Joh 3,3; Joh 3,6; Jak 1,18; 1Petr 1,3; 1Petr 1,23)

Joh 3,3Joh 3,6Jak 1,181Petr 1,31Petr 1,23

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son^[4] from the Father, full of grace and truth. (Lk 9,32; Joh 1,1; Joh 1,7; Joh 2,11; Joh 6,51; Joh 14,6; Röm 1,3; Röm 8,3; Gal 4,4; Phil 2,7; Kol 1,22; 1Tim 3,16; Hebr 2,14; 2Petr 1,16; 1Joh 1,1; 1Joh 4,2; 1Joh 4,14; 2Joh 1,7; Offb 7,15; Offb 21,3)

Lk 9,32Joh 1,1Joh 1,7Joh 2,11Joh 6,51Joh 14,6Röm 1,3Röm 8,3Gal 4,4Phil 2,7Kol 1,221Tim 3,16Hebr 2,142Petr 1,161Joh 1,11Joh 4,21Joh 4,142Joh 1,7Offb 7,15Offb 21,3

15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) (Mt 3,11; Joh 1,7; Joh 1,27; Joh 1,30)

Mt 3,11Joh 1,7Joh 1,27Joh 1,30

16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.^[5] (Mt 25,29; Eph 1,23; Eph 3,19; Eph 4,13; Kol 1,19; Kol 2,9)

Mt 25,29Eph 1,23Eph 3,19Eph 4,13Kol 1,19Kol 2,9

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (2Mo 20,1; Joh 1,14; Joh 7,19; Röm 5,21)

2Mo 20,1Joh 1,14Joh 7,19Röm 5,21

18 No one has ever seen God; the only God,^[6] who is at the Father’s side,^[7] he has made him known. (2Mo 33,20; Mt 11,27; Joh 1,14; Joh 3,16; Joh 3,32; Joh 5,37; Joh 6,46; Joh 12,45; Kol 1,15; 1Tim 6,16; 1Joh 4,12; 1Joh 4,20)

The Testimony of John the Baptist

19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” (Joh 3,26; Joh 8,25) 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” (Lk 3,15; Joh 1,8; Joh 3,28; Apg 13,25)

Lk 3,15Joh 1,8Joh 3,28Apg 13,25

21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” (5Mo 18,15; 5Mo 18,18; Mt 11,14; Mt 16,14)

5Mo 18,155Mo 18,18Mt 11,14Mt 16,14

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 the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight^[8] the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” (Jes 40,3; Mt 3,3) 24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” (Mt 3,6; Mk 1,4; Lk 3,3; Lk 3,7)

Mt 3,6Mk 1,4Lk 3,3Lk 3,7

26 John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, (Mt 3,11; Mk 1,7; Lk 3,16; Apg 1,5; Apg 13,25)

Mt 3,11Mk 1,7Lk 3,16Apg 1,5Apg 13,25

27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” (Joh 1,15; Joh 1,30) 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, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (1Mo 22,8; 2Mo 12,3; Jes 53,7; Joh 1,36; Joh 3,16; Joh 4,42; Joh 12,47; Apg 8,32; Hebr 10,4; Hebr 10,11; 1Petr 1,19; 1Joh 2,2; 1Joh 3,5; 1Joh 4,14; Offb 5,6)

1Mo 22,82Mo 12,3Jes 53,7Joh 1,36Joh 3,16Joh 4,42Joh 12,47Apg 8,32Hebr 10,4Hebr 10,111Petr 1,191Joh 2,21Joh 3,51Joh 4,14Offb 5,6

30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ (Joh 1,15; Joh 1,27) 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” (Lk 1,17; Lk 1,76) 32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. (Jes 11,2; Mt 3,16; Mk 1,10; Lk 3,22; Joh 1,7; Apg 10,38)

Jes 11,2Mt 3,16Mk 1,10Lk 3,22Joh 1,7Apg 10,38

33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ (Mt 3,11; Mk 1,8; Lk 3,2; Lk 3,16; Joh 1,6; Joh 3,5; Apg 1,5)

Mt 3,11Mk 1,8Lk 3,2Lk 3,16Joh 1,6Joh 3,5Apg 1,5

34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son^[9] 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, the Lamb of God!” (Joh 1,29) 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (Mk 10,51; Joh 1,49; Joh 3,2; Joh 3,26; Joh 6,25; Joh 18,4; Joh 18,7; Joh 20,15; Joh 20,16)

Mk 10,51Joh 1,49Joh 3,2Joh 3,26Joh 6,25Joh 18,4Joh 18,7Joh 20,15Joh 20,16

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.^[10] 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus^[11] was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. (Mt 4,18; Mk 1,16; Lk 5,2) 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). (Joh 4,25) 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter^[12]). (Mt 16,18; Joh 21,15; 1Kor 1,12; 1Kor 3,22)

Mt 16,18Joh 21,151Kor 1,121Kor 3,22

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” (Joh 1,28; Joh 1,35; Joh 2,1) 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. (Joh 12,21) 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” (Mt 2,23; Lk 3,23; Lk 16,16; Lk 24,27; Joh 6,42; Joh 21,2)

Mt 2,23Lk 3,23Lk 16,16Lk 24,27Joh 6,42Joh 21,2

46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” (Joh 7,41; Joh 7,52) 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” (Ps 32,2; Ps 73,1; Zef 3,13; Röm 9,4; Röm 9,6; Offb 14,5)

Ps 32,2Ps 73,1Zef 3,13Röm 9,4Röm 9,6Offb 14,5

48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” (Joh 2,24) 49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” (Zef 3,15; Sach 9,9; Mt 27,11; Mt 27,42; Joh 1,38; Joh 6,69; Joh 11,27; Joh 12,13; Joh 20,28)

Zef 3,15Sach 9,9Mt 27,11Mt 27,42Joh 1,38Joh 6,69Joh 11,27Joh 12,13Joh 20,28

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,^[13] you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” (1Mo 28,12; Hes 1,1; Dan 7,13; Mt 3,16; Lk 3,21)

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.
