51;
51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you
will see ‘Heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’
the Son of Man.” (6)
369
43 The
next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, He said to him, “Follow Me.”
(7)
44 Philip, like Andrew
and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
45 Philip found
Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about
in the Law, and about whom
the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph.”
369
34 I
have seen and I testify that this is
God’s Chosen One.” (7)
John’s Disciples
Follow Jesus
35 The next day John
was there again with two of his disciples.
36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
369
25 questioned
him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the
Prophet?” (7)
26 “I baptize with
water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
27 He is the One who comes after
me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
369
16 Out
of His fullness we have
all received Grace in place of Grace already given. (7)
17 For the law was
given through Moses; Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever
seen God, but the One and only Son, who is Himself
God and is
in closest relationship with the Father, Has made Him known.
369
7 He
came as a witness to testify concerning that Light, so that through him all
might believe. (7)
8 He himself was not
the light; he came only as a witness to the Light.
9 The True Light that gives Light to everyone was
coming into the world.
369
49 Then
Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.” (4)
50 Jesus said, “You believe because
I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”
258
40 Andrew,
Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who
had followed Jesus. (4)
41 The first thing
Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).
42 And he brought him
to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and
said, “You
are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when
translated, is Peter).
369
31 I
myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to
Israel.” (4)
32 Then John gave this
testimony: “I saw the Spirit come
down from heaven as a dove and remain on Him.
33 And 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 come down and remain is the One who will baptize
with the Holy Spirit.’
369
22 Finally
they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us.
What do you say about yourself?”
(4)
23 John replied in the
words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the
wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
(Isaiah 40: 3)
24 Now the Pharisees
who had been sent
369
13 children
born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born
of God. (4)
14 The Word became flesh and made His
dwelling among us. We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and only Son, who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth.
15 (John testified
concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This
is the One I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me
has surpassed me because He was before me.’”)
369
4 In
Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of all mankind.
(4) (Love, Life,
Light)
5 The Light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (3 x L)
6 There was a man
sent from God whose name was John.
(God
Father, God
Son, Holy Spirit)
369
46 “Nazareth!
Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said
Philip. (1)
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching,
He said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in
whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do You know
me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still
under the fig tree before
Philip called you.”
138
37 When
the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
(1)
38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and
asked, “What
do you want?” They
said, “Rabbi” (which means
“Teacher”), “where are You
staying?”
39 “Come,” He replied, “and you will see.” So they went and
saw where He was staying, and
they spent that day with Him.
It was about four in the afternoon.
138
28 This
all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was
baptizing. (1)
John Testifies
About Jesus
29 The next day John
saw Jesus coming toward him
and said, “Look, the Lamb
of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is the One I meant when I
said, ‘A Man who
comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
138
John the Baptist
Denies Being the Messiah
19 Now
this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent
priests and Levites to ask him who he was. (1)
20 He did not fail to
confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 They asked him,
“Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”
He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
138
10 Jesus was in the world, and though
the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. (1)
11 Jesus came to that which
was His own, but His own did not receive Him.
12 Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who
believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
138
The Word Became
Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (1)
2 Jesus was with God in the beginning.
3 Through Jesus all things were made; without Jesus nothing
was made that Has been made.
