In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. JH 1:1 The same was in the beginning with God. JH 1:2 All things were made by [through] him; and without him [there WU] was not any thing made that was made. JH 1:3 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. JH 1:4 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. JH 1:5

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. JH 1:6 The same came for [as] a witness, to bear witness [testify about] of the Light, that all men through him might believe. JH 1:7 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. JH 1:8 That was the true Light, which lighteth [gives light to WU] every man[, WU] that cometh [was coming] into the world. JH 1:9 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew [recognized] him not. JH 1:10 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. JH 1:11 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on [in] his name: JH 1:12 Which were born, not of blood [natural descent WU], nor of the will of the flesh [human desire WU], nor of the will of man [a husband WU], but of God. JH 1:13 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten [the one and only Son WU] of the Father,) full of grace and truth. JH 1:14 John bare witness of him, and cried [out], saying, This was he of whom I spake [said], He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. JH 1:15 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace [one gracious gift after another WU]. JH 1:16 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. JH 1:17 No man hath seen God at any time, [but WU] the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom [at the side WU] of the Father, he hath declared him [made him known WU]. JH 1:18 JESUS Is God

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? JH 1:19 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. JH 1:20 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias [Elijah]? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet [the Prophet]? And he answered, No. JH 1:21 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? JH 1:22 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of [for WU] the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias [Isaiah]. JH 1:23 REPENT

And they which were sent were of [from] the Pharisees. JH 1:24 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias [Elijah], neither that prophet [the Prophet]? JH 1:25 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; JH 1:26 He it is, who [is WU] coming after me [and WU] is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. JH 1:27 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. JH 1:28

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. JH 1:29 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. JH 1:30 And I knew [recognized WU] him not: but [so WU] that he should be made manifest [revealed] to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. JH 1:31 And John bare record [testified], saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode [remained] upon him. JH 1:32 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 [Spirit]. JH 1:33 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. JH 1:34

Again the next day after[,] John stood, and [with] two of his disciples; JH 1:35 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! JH 1:36 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. JH 1:37 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 [Teacher],) where dwellest thou [are you staying]? JH 1:38 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode [stayed] with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. JH 1:39 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. JH 1:40

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias [Messiah WU], which is, being interpreted, the Christ. JH 1:41 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 [translation WU], A stone [Peter]. JH 1:42
