Gospel
of John Chapter One (King
James Version)
01 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
02 The same was in the beginning with God.
03 All things were made by him; and without him
was not any thing made that was made.
04 In him was life; and the life was the light
of men.
05 And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
06 There was a man sent from God, whose name
was John.
07 The same came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
08 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light.
09 That was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made
by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received
him not.
12 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:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 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.
15 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.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and
grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ.
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.
