YLT
Young's Literal Translation
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God .
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ;
He
was with
God
in the beginning .
this
one
was in the beginning with
God;
Through
Him
all things were
made
, and without Him nothing
was
made
that has
been
made
.
all things through
him
did
happen
, and without him happened
not
even
one
thing
that hath
happened
.
In Him was life, and that
life was the light of men .
In him was life, and the
life was the light of men ,
The Light shines
in the darkness, and the darkness has
not overcome
it.
and
the light in the darkness did
shine
, and the darkness did
not perceive
it.
There came a man who
was
sent from God .
His
name was
John .
There came a man --
having
been
sent from God --
whose
name `is'
John ,
He
came as
a
witness
to
testify about the Light, so
that through
him
everyone
might believe .
this
one
came for
testimony,
that
he
might
testify about the Light, that all
might believe through
him;
He
himself
was not the Light, but he came
to
testify about the Light.
that
one
was not the Light, but --
that
he might
testify about the Light.
The true Light who
gives
light
to
every man was
coming into
the world .
He
was
the true Light ,
which
doth
enlighten
every man ,
coming to
the world ;
He
was
in the world, and though
the world was
made
through Him, the world did not recognize
Him .
in the world he
was
, and the world through him was
made
, and
the world did not know
him :
He
came
to His own, and His own did not receive Him .
to his own things
he
came
, and his own people
did not receive him ;
But to
all
who
did receive Him ,
to those
who
believed
in
His
name,
He gave the
right
to become children
of God —
but as
many
as
did receive him to them
he gave authority
to become sons
of God --
to
those
believing
in
his
name,
children
born
not of blood, nor of the
desire
or
will of man ,
but born
of God.
who
--
not of blood nor
of
a
will
of
flesh
, nor of a
will of man but --
of God were
begotten
.
The Word became flesh and made
His
dwelling
among us .
We have
seen
His glory, the
glory of the
one
and
only Son
from
the
Father, full of grace and truth.
And
the Word became flesh ,
and did
tabernacle
among us ,
and
we beheld
his glory, glory as
of an
only begotten
of
a
father, full of grace and truth.
John testified
concerning Him .
He
cried out
, saying, “
This is
He of whom I said, ‘
He who comes
after me has
surpassed
me because
He was before me .’”
John doth
testify
concerning him ,
and
hath
cried, saying, `
This was
he of whom I said, He who after me is
coming,
hath
come
before
me ,
for
he was before me ;'
From
His fullness
we have
all received
grace upon
grace .
and
out
of
his fulness
did
we all receive,
and
grace over-against
grace ;
For the law was
given
through Moses ;
grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ .
for the law through Moses was
given,
the
grace and the
truth through Jesus Christ did
come;
No one has
ever seen God,
but
the one
and
only Son, who is Himself
God
and
is
at
the Father’s
side,
has
made
Him
known
.
God
no one hath
ever seen ;
the only begotten
Son, who is on
the bosom
of
the
Father
--
he
did
declare
.
And this was
John’s
testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent
priests and Levites to
ask
him, “
Who are
you
? ”
And this is
the
testimony of
John,
when the Jews sent
out
of Jerusalem priests and Levites ,
that
they
might
question
him, `
Who art
thou
? '
He did not refuse
to
confess,
but
openly
declared
, “
I am not the Christ. ”
and
he confessed
and
did not deny
, and
confessed
--
`
I am not the Christ. '
“
Then who
are
you
? ”
they
inquired.
“Are
you
Elijah? ”
He said
, “
I am not. ”
“Are
you
the Prophet? ”
He answered, “
No. ”
And
they
questioned
him,
`What
then? Elijah art
thou
? '
and
he saith
, `
I am not. '
--
`
The prophet art
thou
? '
and
he answered, `
No. '
So
they said to him, “
Who are
you?
We need
an answer for
those who
sent
us .
What do
you
say about
yourself
? ”
They said then
to him, `
Who art
thou,
that
we may
give
an answer to
those sending
us ?
what dost
thou
say concerning
thyself
? '
John
replied
in
the
words
of
Isaiah
the
prophet:
“
I am a voice of one calling
in the wilderness ,
‘
Make straight the way for
the Lord. ’”
He
said,
`
I `
am '
a voice of one crying
in the wilderness :
Make straight the way of
the Lord ,
as
said
Isaiah
the
prophet
. '
Then
the Pharisees who
had
been
sent
And
those
sent
were
of
the Pharisees ,
asked
him, “
Why then do
you
baptize, if you
are
not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet? ”
and
they
questioned
him and
said
to
him
, `
Why ,
then ,
dost
thou
baptize, if thou
art
not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? '
“
I baptize with water, ”
John
replied,
“
but among
you
stands
One
you do
not know.
John
answered
them,
saying,
`
I baptize with water, but in
midst
of
you he
hath
stood
whom
ye
have
not known,
this
one
it
is
who
is
coming
after
me,
who
hath
been
before
me,
He
is
the
One
who
comes
after
me,
the
straps
of whose
sandals
I am not worthy to
untie
. ”
of whom
I am not worthy that
I
may
loose
the
cord
of
his
sandal
. '
All
this
happened
at
Bethany
beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing .
These
things
came
to
pass
in
Bethabara,
beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing ,
The next
day
John saw
Jesus coming toward
him and said
, “Look
, the Lamb of God, who takes
away the sin of the world !
on
the morrow
John seeth
Jesus coming unto
him ,
and saith
, `Lo
, the Lamb of God, who is
taking
away the sin of the world ;
This is He of
whom I said, ‘
A man who comes
after
me
has
surpassed
me because He was before me .’
this is he concerning
whom I said, After
me
doth
come
a man ,
who hath
come
before
me ,
because he was before me :
I myself
did
not
know
Him, but the
reason
I
came
baptizing
with
water
was
that He might be revealed
to Israel. ”
and
I knew
him not
, but ,
that he might be manifested
to Israel ,
because
of
this
I
came
with
the
water
baptizing
.
Then
John testified, “
I saw
the Spirit descending
from
heaven
like
a dove and resting
on Him .
And
John testified, saying
--
`
I have
seen
the Spirit coming
down,
as
a dove ,
out
of
heaven,
and it
remained
on him ;
I myself
did not know Him, but the
One
who sent me to baptize with water told
me, ‘The
man
on whom
you
see the Spirit descend
and rest
is He who will
baptize
with the Holy Spirit .’
and
I did not know him, but he
who sent me to baptize with water ,
He
said
to
me, On whomsoever
thou
mayst
see the Spirit coming
down,
and remaining
on
him,
this
is he who is
baptizing
with the Holy Spirit ;
I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God. ”
and
I have seen ,
and have
testified ,
that this is the Son of God. '
The next
day
John was there
again
with
two of his disciples .
On
the morrow,
again,
John was standing,
and
two of his disciples ,
When
he
saw
Jesus walking by
, he said
, “Look
, the Lamb of God !”
and
having
looked
on
Jesus walking, he saith
, `Lo
, the Lamb of God ;'
And when
the two disciples heard him say
this
, they followed Jesus.
and the two disciples heard him speaking
, and
they followed Jesus.
Jesus turned and saw
them following .
“
What do
you
want
? ”
He
asked.
They said to Him
, “
Rabbi ”
(which means
Teacher )
, “
where are
You
staying
? ”
And
Jesus having
turned ,
and having
beheld
them following ,
saith
to
them,
`
What seek
ye
? '
and
they said to them
, `
Rabbi ,
(which is,
being
interpreted,
Teacher, )
where remainest
thou
? '
“
Come and see ,”
He
replied.
So
they went
and saw where He was
staying
, and spent
that
day
with Him .
It
was about the tenth hour
.
He
saith
to
them,
`
Come and see ;'
they came,
and saw where he doth
remain
, and with him they
remained
that
day
and
the
hour
was about the tenth.
Andrew, Simon
Peter’s
brother, was one of the two who heard John’s
testimony
and followed Jesus.
Andrew, the
brother of
Simon
Peter
, was one of the two who heard from
John,
and followed him;
He
first found
his brother Simon and told
him, “
We have found the Messiah ”
(which is translated
as
Christ
) .
this
one
doth
first find
his own
brother Simon ,
and saith
to
him, `
We have found the Messiah ,'
(which is ,
being
interpreted,
The
Anointed,
)
Andrew
brought him to
Jesus ,
who
looked at
him and
said
, “You
are
Simon son of John.
You
will
be called Cephas ”
(which is translated
as
Peter)
.
and
he
brought him unto
Jesus :
and
having
looked upon
him, Jesus
saith,
`Thou
art
Simon ,
the
son of Jonas,
thou
shalt
be called Cephas ,'
(which is interpreted,
A
rock
. )
The next
day
Jesus
decided
to set
out
for
Galilee .
Finding
Philip
, He told
him, “Follow
Me. ”
On
the morrow,
he
willed
to go
forth
to
Galilee, and
he findeth
Philip,
and
saith
to
him, `Be
following
me. '
Now
Philip was from Bethsaida, the same
town
as
Andrew and Peter .
And
Philip was from Bethsaida, of
the city
of
Andrew and Peter ;
Philip found
Nathanael and told
him, “We
have
found
the
One
Moses wrote about
in the Law, the
One
the prophets foretold—Jesus
of
Nazareth
, the son of Joseph .”
Philip findeth
Nathanael ,
and saith
to
him, `Him
of
whom
Moses wrote in the Law, and
the prophets, we
have
found,
Jesus
the son of Joseph ,
who
`is'
from
Nazareth;'
“Can
anything
good
come
from
Nazareth? ”
Nathanael
asked.
“
Come and see ,”
said
Philip
.
and
Nathanael
said
to
him,
`Out
of
Nazareth is
any
good
thing
able
to
be
? '
Philip
said
to
him,
`
Come and see. '
When
Jesus saw Nathanael approaching
, He said
of
him, “Here
is
a
true
Israelite, in whom there
is no
deceit.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming
unto
him
, and
he saith
concerning
him, `Lo,
truly
an
Israelite, in whom guile
is not;'
“How
do
You
know
me? ”
Nathanael
asked.
Jesus replied
, “
Before Philip
called
you,
I
saw
you
under the fig tree. ”
Nathanael
saith
to
him,
`Whence
me dost
thou
know
? '
Jesus answered
and
said
to
him
, `
Before Philip's
calling
thee
--
thou
being
under the fig -
tree --
I
saw
thee
. '
“Rabbi,”
Nathanael answered, “You
are
the Son of God !
You
are
the King of Israel !”
Nathanael answered and
saith
to
him
, `Rabbi,
thou
art
the Son of God ,
thou
art
the king of Israel .'
Jesus said to him, “Do
you
believe
just
because I told
you
I saw you
under the fig tree ?
You
will
see
greater things than these .”
Jesus answered
and
said to him, `
Because I said
to
thee,
I saw thee
under the fig -
tree ,
thou
dost
believe;
greater things than these thou
shalt
see;'
Then
He declared
, “Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, you
will
all
see heaven open
and the angels
of God ascending
and descending
on
the Son of Man. ”
and
he saith
to
him
, `Verily
, verily
, I say
to
you, henceforth
ye
shall
see the
heaven opened,
and the messengers
of God going
up
and coming
down
upon
the Son of Man. '
