1:1 |
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. |
1:2 |
He was with God in the beginning. |
1:3 |
All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him. |
1:4 |
Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men. |
1:5 |
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. |
1:6 |
There was a man sent by God, whose name was John. |
1:7 |
He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him. |
1:8 |
He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light. |
1:9 |
The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world. |
1:10 |
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him. |
1:11 |
He went to his own, and his own did not accept him. |
1:12 |
Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God. |
1:13 |
These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
1:14 |
And the Word became flesh, and he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten son from the Father, full of grace and truth. |
1:15 |
John offers testimony about him, and he cries out, велејќи: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ” |
1:16 |
And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace. |
1:17 |
For the law was given though Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
1:18 |
No one ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described him. |
1:19 |
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might ask him, “Who are you?” |
1:20 |
And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ.” |
1:21 |
And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” |
1:22 |
Затоа, му рекоа: “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” |
1:23 |
He said, “I am a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.” |
1:24 |
And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees. |
1:25 |
And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not the Prophet?” |
1:26 |
John answered them by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know. |
1:27 |
The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.” |
1:28 |
These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
1:29 |
Наредниот ден, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: „Еве, Јагнето Божјо. Види, he who takes away the sin of the world. |
1:30 |
This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ |
1:31 |
And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel.” |
1:32 |
And John offered testimony, велејќи: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him. |
1:33 |
And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ |
1:34 |
And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.” |
1:35 |
The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples. |
1:36 |
And catching sight of Jesus walking, тој рече, „Еве, the Lamb of God.” |
1:37 |
And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus. |
1:38 |
Потоа Исус, turning around and seeing them following him, им рече, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, „Рабин (which means in translation, Teacher), where do you live?” |
1:39 |
Тој им рече, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour. |
1:40 |
And Andrew, братот на Симон Петар, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him. |
1:41 |
Прво, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as the Christ). |
1:42 |
And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, гледајќи во него, кажа: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter). |
1:43 |
Наредниот ден, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” |
1:44 |
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. |
1:45 |
Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Исус, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” |
1:46 |
And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” |
1:47 |
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, „Еве, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.” |
1:48 |
Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” |
1:49 |
Nathanael answered him and said: „Рабин, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.” |
1:50 |
Исус одговори и му рече: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.” |
1:51 |
И тој му рече, „Амин, амин, ти велам, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.” |
