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*，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*。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*為梯上上下下。」

The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2He was in the beginning with God.3All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.4In him was life,* and the life was the light of men.5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.7He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.8He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.9The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.11He came to his own,* and his own people* did not receive him.12But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son* from the Father, full of grace and truth.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.’”)16For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.*17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.18No one has ever seen God; the only God,* who is at the Father’s side,* he has made him known.
The Testimony of John the Baptist
19And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”20He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”21And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”23He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight* the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”24(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)25They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”26John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know,27even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”28These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Behold, the Lamb of God
29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!30This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’31I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.”32And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.33I 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.’34And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son* of God.”
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
35The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples,36and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.38Jesus 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?”39He 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.*40One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus* was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.41He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).42He 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*).
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.45Philip 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.”46Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”47Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”48Nathanael 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.”49Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”50Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”51And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,* you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
