[1]In the begynnyng was the worde, & the worde was with God: and that worde was God
[2]The same was in the begynnyng with God
[3]All thynges were made by it: and without it, was made nothyng that was made
[4]In it was lyfe, and the lyfe was the lyght of men
[5]And the lyght shyneth in darkenesse: and the darknesse comprehended it not
[6]There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn
[7]The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the lyght, that all men through hym myght beleue
[8]He was not that lyght: but was sent to beare witnesse of the lyght
[9]That [lyght] was the true lyght, which lyghteth euery man that commeth into the worlde
[10]He was in the worlde, and the worlde was made by hym, and the worlde knewe hym not
[11]He came among his owne, and his owne receaued hym not
[12]But as many as receaued hym, to them gaue he power to be the sonnes of God, euen them that beleued on his name
[13]Which were borne, not of blood, nor of the wyll of the fleshe, nor yet of the wyll of man, but of God
[14]And the same word became fleshe, and dwelt among vs ( and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten sonne of the father) full of grace and trueth
[15]Iohn beareth witnesse of hym, and cryeth, saying: This was he of whom I spake, he that commeth after me, is preferred before me, for he was before me
[16]And of his fulnesse haue all we receaued, and grace for grace
[17]For the lawe was geuen by Moyses: but grace and trueth came by Iesus Christe
[18]No man hath seene God at any tyme: The onely begotten sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym
[19]And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent priestes and leuites from Hierusalem, to aske hym: What art thou
[20]And he confessed and denyed not, and sayde playnely, I am not that Christe
[21]And they asked hym: What then? art thou Elias? And he sayth, I am not. Art thou that prophete? And he aunswered, no
[22]Then sayde they vnto hym: What art thou? that we may geue an aunswere to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe
[23]He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryer in the wildernesse, make strayght the way of the Lorde, as sayde the prophete Esaias
[24]And they which were sent, were of the pharisees
[25]And they asked hym, and sayde vnto hym: Why baptizest thou then, yf thou be not Christe, nor Elias, neither that prophete
[26]Iohn aunswered them, saying: I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you, whom ye knowe not
[27]He it is, which though he came after me, was before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose
[28]These thynges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordane, where Iohn dyd baptize
[29]The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto hym, and saith, beholde the lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the worlde
[30]This is he of whom I sayde, After me commeth a man, which is preferred before me, for he was before me
[31]And I knewe hym not: but that he shoulde be declared to Israel, therfore am I come, baptizing with water
[32]And Iohn bare recorde, saying: I sawe the spirite descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, and abode vpon hym
[33]And knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptize with water, the same saide vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt see the spirite descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy ghost
[34]And I sawe, and bare recorde, that he is the sonne of God
[35]The next day after, Iohn stoode agayne, and two of his disciples
[36]And he behelde Iesus as he walked by, & sayth: beholde the lambe of God
[37]And the two disciples hearde hym speake, and they folowed Iesus
[38]And Iesus turned about, and sawe them folowe hym, & sayth vnto them: What seeke ye? They sayde vnto hym: Rabbi (which is to say yf one interprete it, Maister) where dwellest thou
[39]He sayeth vnto them: come and see. They came, and sawe where he dwelt, and abode with hym that day: For it was about the tenth houre
[40]One of the two which hearde Iohn speake, & folowed hym, was Andrewe, Simon Peters brother
[41]The same founde his brother Simon first, and sayth vnto hym: We haue founde Messias, which is by interpretation, the annoynted
[42]And brought hym to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone
[43]The day folowyng, Iesus woulde go into Galilee, & founde Philip, and sayth vnto hym, folowe me
[44]Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrewe and Peter
[45]Philip founde Nathanael, and sayth vnto hym: We haue founde hym, of whom Moyses in the lawe, and the prophetes, dyd write: Iesus of Nazareth, the sonne of Ioseph
[46]And Nathanael sayde vnto hym: Can there any good thyng come out of Nazareth? Philip sayth vnto him: come and see
[47]Iesus sawe Nathanael commyng to hym, & sayeth of hym: Beholde a ryght Israelite, in whom is no guile
[48]Nathanael sayth vnto hym: Whence knewest thou me? Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the fygge tree, I sawe thee
[49]Nathanael aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, thou art euen the [very] sonne of God, thou art ye kyng of Israel
[50]Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: Because I sayde vnto thee, I saw thee vnder the fygge tree, thou beleuest: Thou shalt see greater thynges then these
[51]And he sayth vnto hym: Ueryly, veryly I say vnto you, hereafter shall ye see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascendyng & descendyng vpon the sonne of man
