The Gospel of Luke | Next
Chapter |
|
|
|
1 |
In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
|
|
|
2 |
The same was in the
beginning with God. |
|
3 |
All things were made
by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
|
|
4 |
In him was life; and
the life was the light of men. |
|
5 |
And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
|
|
6 |
There was a man sent
from God, whose name was John. |
|
7 |
The same came for a
witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might
believe.
|
|
8 |
He was not that
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. |
|
9 |
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.
|
|
19 |
And this is the
record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask
him, Who art thou?
|
|
20 |
And he confessed,
and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
|
|
21 |
And they asked him,
What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that
prophet? And he answered, No.
|
|
22 |
Then said they unto
him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What
sayest thou of thyself?
|
|
23 |
He said, I am the
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as
said the prophet Esaias.
|
|
24 |
And they which were
sent were of the Pharisees. |
|
25 |
And they asked him,
and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor
Elias, neither that prophet?
|
|
26 |
John answered them,
saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know
not;
|
|
27 |
He it is, who coming
after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to
unloose.
|
|
28 |
These things were
done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
|
|
29 |
The next day John
seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world.
|
|
30 |
This is he of whom I
said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before
me.
|
|
31 |
And I knew him not:
but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing
with water.
|
|
32 |
And John bare
record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it
abode upon him.
|
|
33 |
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.
|
|
34 |
And I saw, and bare
record that this is the Son of God. |
|
35 |
Again the next day
after John stood, and two of his disciples; |
|
36 |
And looking upon
Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
|
|
37 |
And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. |
|
38 |
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?
|
|
39 |
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.
|
|
40 |
One of the two which
heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
|
|
41 |
He first findeth his
own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is,
being interpreted, the Christ.
|
|
42 |
And he brought him
to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said,
Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is
by interpretation, A stone.
|
|
43 |
The day following
Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him,
Follow me.
|
|
44 |
Now Philip was of
Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. |
|
45 |
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.
|
|
46 |
And Nathanael said
unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto
him, Come and see.
|
|
47 |
Jesus saw Nathanael
coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
|
|
48 |
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.
|
|
49 |
Nathanael answered
and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of
Israel.
|
|
50 |
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.
|
|
51 |
And he saith unto
him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter
ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending
upon the Son of man.
