Gospel of John_Chapter 1

In the beginning, there was the Way, and the Way was with God. The Way is God.

This Dao was originally with God.

All things are created through him. Everything that is made is not made through him.

Life is within him. This life is the light of humanity.

Light shines in darkness, but darkness does not accept light.

There is a man named John who was sent from God.

This man came to bear witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone may believe in him.

He is not the light, but to bear witness to it.

That light is true light, illuminating all those born in this world.

He is in the world, and the world was also created through him, but the world does not recognize him.

He came to his own place, but his own people did not receive him.

He gives authority to those who receive him, who believe in his name, to be children of God.

These people are not born from blood, not from desire, nor from human desire, but from God.

The Tao has become a physical body that resides among us, filled with grace and truth. We have also seen his glory, which is the glory of a father’s only child.

John testified for him and shouted, ‘This is what I said,’ What came after me has become before me. ‘. Because he was originally before me.

We have all received from his abundant grace, and grace is added to grace.

The law was preached through Moses, and grace and truth came from Jesus Christ.

No one has ever seen God. Only the only son in the father’s arms revealed him.

John’s testimony is recorded below. The Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to John and asked him, “Who are you?”.

He openly stated it without concealing it. To be honest, I am not Christ.

They asked him again, “Who are you like this?”? Is it Elijah? He said, I’m not. Is that the prophet? He replied, no.

So they said, Who the hell are you? Tell us to reply to the person who sent us. Tell yourself who you are.

He said, I am the one whose voice is shouting in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.’.

Those people were sent by the Pharisees. (Or that the one sent was a Pharisee)

They asked him, “Why are you baptizing, since you are not Christ, not Elijah, or the prophet?”?

John replied, “I baptized with water, but there is one standing among you who you do not know.”,

Even if he comes after me, I don’t deserve to untie his shoelaces.

This is a testimony made outside the Jordan River, at Bethany, where John was baptized.

The next day, when John saw Jesus coming to him, he said, “See, the Lamb of God, who has taken away the sins of men.”.

This is what I once said, there was someone who came after me, but instead became someone who was before me. Because he was originally before me.

I did not know him before, but now I have come to baptize him with water to make him known to the Israelites.

John also testified, saying, I have seen the Holy Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, dwelling on him.

I didn’t know him before. But the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Whoever sees the Holy Spirit come down and dwell on, he is baptized with the Holy Spirit.’.

I saw it and it proves that this is the son of God.

On the next day, John stood there with two disciples.

When he saw Jesus walking, he said, “Look, this is the Lamb of God.”.

When the two disciples heard his words, they followed Jesus.

Jesus turned around and saw them following him. He asked them, “What do you want?”? They said, Rabbi, where do you live? (Rabbi flipped it out, it’s Master)

Jesus said, Come and see. They went to see where he lived, and on that day they lived with him, about Shen Zheng.

The two people who heard John’s words and followed Jesus were Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.”

So he took him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John, (John Matthew 16:17 called Jonah) You must be called Cephas.”. (Jifa flipped it out, it’s Peter)

The next day, Jesus wanted to go to Galilee and met Philip. He said to him, “Follow me.”.

This Philip was from Bethsaida, who lived in the same city as Andrew and Peter.

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one Moses wrote in the law and the one written by the prophets, which is Jesus the Nazarene, son of Joseph.”.

Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said, Come and see.

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming, he said of him, Look, this is a true Israelite, and there is no deceit in his heart.

Nathanael said to Jesus, “Where do you know me?”? Jesus answered and said, Before Philip could call you, I saw you under the fig tree.

Nathanael said, Rabbi, you are the son of God, you are the king of Israel.

Jesus said to him, Because I said I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see something bigger than this.

And he said, Truly, I tell you the truth, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God will go up and down on the Son of Man.
