In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

JOHN 1:1

6 of 51

The same was in the beginning with God.

JOHN 1:2

7 of 51

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

JOHN 1:3

8 of 51

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

JOHN 1:4

9 of 51

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

JOHN 1:5

10 of 51

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

JOHN 1:6

11 of 51

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

JOHN 1:7

12 of 51

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

JOHN 1:8

13 of 51

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

JOHN 1:9

14 of 51

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

JOHN 1:10

15 of 51

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

JOHN 1:11

16 of 51

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

JOHN 1:12

17 of 51

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

JOHN 1:13

18 of 51

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

JOHN 1:14

19 of 51

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

JOHN 1:15

20 of 51

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

JOHN 1:16

21 of 51

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

JOHN 1:17

22 of 51

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

JOHN 1:18

23 of 51

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

JOHN 1:19

24 of 51

And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

JOHN 1:20

25 of 51

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

JOHN 1:21

26 of 51

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

JOHN 1:22

27 of 51

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

JOHN 1:23

28 of 51

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

JOHN 1:24

29 of 51

And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

JOHN 1:25

30 of 51

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

JOHN 1:26

31 of 51

He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

JOHN 1:27

32 of 51

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

JOHN 1:28

33 of 51

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

JOHN 1:29

34 of 51

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

JOHN 1:30

35 of 51

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

JOHN 1:31

36 of 51

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

JOHN 1:32

37 of 51

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.

JOHN 1:33

38 of 51

And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

39 of 51

JOHN 1:35

40 of 51

And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

JOHN 1:36

41 of 51

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

JOHN 1:37

42 of 51

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?

JOHN 1:38

43 of 51

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.

JOHN 1:39

44 of 51

One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

JOHN 1:40

45 of 51

JOHN 1:42

JOHN 1:44

49 of 51

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

JOHN 1:45

50 of 51

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

JOHN 1:46

51 of 51

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

JOHN 1:47

52 of 51

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.

JOHN 1:48

53 of 51

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

JOHN 1:49

54 of 51

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.

JOHN 1:50

55 of 51

BIBLE CANON: 5

A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.

These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.

W Biblical_canon

1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON 140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON 170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.

John 1
TEXTUAL CRITICISM

It is impossible to think that Jesus spent his short ministry teaching in two such completely different ways, conveying such different contents, and there were simply two traditions, each going back to Jesus, one transmitting 50% of what he said and another one the other 50%, with almost no overlaps. Consequently, for the last 150 or so years scholars have had to choose.

They have almost unanimously, and I think entirely correctly, concluded that the teaching of the historical Jesus is to be sought in the synoptic gospels and that [Gospel of] John represents an advanced theological development, in which meditations on the person and work of Christ are presented in the first person, as if Jesus said them.
