1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

oti o nomoV dia mwsewV edoqh h cariV kai h alhqeia dia ihsou cristou egeneto
1:17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

qeon oudeiV ewraken pwpote o monogenhV uioV o wn eiV ton kolpon tou patroV ekeinoV exhghsato
1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

kai hrwthsan auton ti oun hliaV ei su kai legei ouk eimi o profhthV ei su kai apekriqh ou
1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

kai oi apestalmenoi hsan ek twn farisaiwn
1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

kai hrwthsan auton kai eipon autw ti oun baptizeiV ei su ouk ei o cristoV oute hliaV oute o profhthV
1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

apekriqh autoiV o iwannhV legwn egw baptizw en udati mesoV de umwn esthken on umeiV ouk oidate
1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

autoV estin o opisw mou ercomenoV oV emprosqen mou gegonen ou egw ouk eimi axioV ina lusw autou ton imanta tou upodhmatoV
1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

kagw ouk hdein auton all ina fanerwqh tw israhl dia touto hlqon egw en tw udati baptizwn
1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

1:33 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.

1:38 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?

legei autoiV ercesqe kai idete hlqon kai eidon pou menei kai par autw emeinan thn hmeran ekeinhn wra de hn wV dekath
1:39 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.

hn andreaV o adelfoV simwnoV petrou eiV ek twn duo twn akousantwn para iwannou kai akolouqhsantwn autw
1:40 One of the two which heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

euriskei outoV prwtoV ton adelfon ton idion simwna kai legei autw eurhkamen ton messian o estin meqermhneuomenon o cristoV
1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

1:48 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.

1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

apekriqh ihsouV kai eipen autw oti eipon soi eidon se upokatw thV sukhV pisteueiV meizw toutwn oyei
1:50 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.

1:51 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.
