Jóhannesarguðspjall 1
Icelandic Bible
1 Í upphafi var Orðið, og Orðið var hjá Guði, og Orðið var Guð.
2 Hann var í upphafi hjá Guði.
3 Allir hlutir urðu fyrir hann, án hans varð ekki neitt, sem til er.
4 Í honum var líf, og lífið var ljós mannanna.
5 Ljósið skín í myrkrinu, og myrkrið tók ekki á móti því.
6 Maður kom fram, sendur af Guði. Hann hét Jóhannes.
7 Hann kom til vitnisburðar, til að vitna um ljósið, svo að allir skyldu trúa fyrir hann.
8 Ekki var hann ljósið, hann kom til að vitna um ljósið.
9 Hið sanna ljós, sem upplýsir hvern mann, kom nú í heiminn.
10 Hann var í heiminum, og heimurinn var orðinn til fyrir hann, en heimurinn þekkti hann ekki.
11 Hann kom til eignar sinnar, en hans eigin menn tóku ekki við honum.
12 En öllum þeim, sem tóku við honum, gaf hann rétt til að verða Guðs börn, þeim, er trúa á nafn hans.
13 Þeir eru ekki af blóði bornir, ekki að holds vild né manns vilja, heldur af Guði fæddir.
14 Og Orðið varð hold, hann bjó með oss, fullur náðar og sannleika, og vér sáum dýrð hans, dýrð, sem sonurinn eini á frá föðurnum.
15 Jóhannes vitnar um hann og hrópar: "Þetta er sá sem ég átti við, þegar ég sagði: Sá sem kemur eftir mig, var á undan mér, enda fyrri en ég."
16 Af gnægð hans höfum vér allir þegið, náð á náð ofan.
17 Lögmálið var gefið fyrir Móse, en náðin og sannleikurinn kom fyrir Jesú Krist.
18 Enginn hefur nokkurn tíma séð Guð. Sonurinn eini, Guð, sem er í faðmi föðurins, hann hefur birt hann.
19 Þessi er vitnisburður Jóhannesar, þegar Gyðingar sendu til hans presta og levíta frá Jerúsalem að spyrja hann: "Hver ert þú?"
20 Hann svaraði ótvírætt og játaði: "Ekki er ég Kristur."
21 Þeir spurðu hann: "Hvað þá? Ertu Elía?" Hann svarar: "Ekki er ég hann." "Ertu spámaðurinn?" Hann kvað nei við.
22 Þá sögðu þeir við hann: "Hver ertu? Vér verðum að svara þeim, er sendu oss. Hvað segir þú um sjálfan þig?"
23 Hann sagði: "Ég er rödd hrópanda í eyðimörk: Gjörið beinan veg Drottins, eins og Jesaja spámaður segir."
24 Sendir voru menn af flokki farísea.
25 Þeir spurðu hann: "Hvers vegna skírir þú, fyrst þú ert hvorki Kristur, Elía né spámaðurinn?"
26 Jóhannes svaraði: "Ég skíri með vatni. Mitt á meðal yðar stendur sá, sem þér þekkið ekki,
27 hann, sem kemur eftir mig, og skóþveng hans er ég ekki verður að leysa."
28 Þetta bar við í Betaníu, handan Jórdanar, þar sem Jóhannes var að skíra.
29 Daginn eftir sér hann Jesú koma til sín og segir: "Sjá, Guðs lamb, sem ber synd heimsins.
30 Þar er sá er ég sagði um: ,Eftir mig kemur maður, sem var á undan mér, því hann er fyrri en ég.`
31 Sjálfur þekkti ég hann ekki. En til þess kom ég og skíri með vatni, að hann opinberist Ísrael."
32 Og Jóhannes vitnaði: "Ég sá andann koma af himni ofan eins og dúfu, og hann nam staðar yfir honum.
33 Sjálfur þekkti ég hann ekki, en sá er sendi mig að skíra með vatni, sagði mér: ,Sá sem þú sérð andann koma yfir og nema staðar á, hann er sá sem skírir með heilögum anda.`
34 Þetta sá ég, og ég vitna, að hann er sonur Guðs."
35 Daginn eftir var Jóhannes þar aftur staddur og tveir lærisveinar hans.
36 Hann sér Jesú á gangi og segir: "Sjá, Guðs lamb."
37 Lærisveinar hans tveir heyrðu orð hans og fóru á eftir Jesú.
38 Jesús sneri sér við, sá þá koma á eftir sér og sagði við þá: "Hvers leitið þið?" Þeir svara: "Rabbí (það þýðir meistari), hvar dvelst þú?"
39 Hann segir: "Komið og sjáið." Þeir komu og sáu, hvar hann dvaldist, og voru hjá honum þann dag. Þetta var síðdegis.
40 Annar þessara tveggja, sem heyrðu orð Jóhannesar og fóru á eftir Jesú, var Andrés, bróðir Símonar Péturs.
41 Hann finnur fyrst bróður sinn, Símon, og segir við hann: "Við höfum fundið Messías!" (Messías þýðir Kristur, Hinn smurði.)
42 Hann fór með hann til Jesú. Jesús horfði á hann og sagði: "Þú ert Símon Jóhannesson, þú skalt heita Kefas" (Pétur, það þýðir klettur).
43 Næsta dag hugðist Jesús fara til Galíleu. Hann hitti þá Filippus og sagði við hann: "Fylg þú mér!"
44 Filippus var frá Betsaídu, sömu borg og Andrés og Pétur.
45 Filippus fann Natanael og sagði við hann: "Vér höfum fundið þann, sem Móse skrifar um í lögmálinu og spámennirnir, Jesú frá Nasaret, son Jósefs."
46 Natanael sagði: "Getur nokkuð gott komið frá Nasaret?" Filippus svaraði: "Kom þú og sjá."
47 Jesús sá Natanael koma til sín og sagði við hann: "Hér er sannur Ísraelíti, sem engin svik eru í."
48 Natanael spyr: "Hvaðan þekkir þú mig?" Jesús svarar: "Ég sá þig undir fíkjutrénu, áður en Filippus kallaði á þig."
49 Þá segir Natanael: "Rabbí, þú ert sonur Guðs, þú ert konungur Ísraels."
50 Jesús spyr hann: "Trúir þú, af því að ég sagði við þig: ,Ég sá þig undir fíkjutrénu`? Þú munt sjá það, sem þessu er meira."
51 Og hann segir við hann: "Sannlega, sannlega segi ég yður: Þér munuð sjá himininn opinn og engla Guðs stíga upp og stíga niður yfir Mannssoninn."
John 1
New International Version
John 1
New International Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word,(A) and the Word was with God,(B) and the Word was God.(C) 2 He was with God in the beginning.(D) 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.(E) 4 In him was life,(F) and that life was the light(G) of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness,(H) and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.(I)
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.(J) 7 He came as a witness to testify(K) concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.(L) 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light(M) that gives light to everyone(N) was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,(O) the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.(P) 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed(Q) in his name,(R) he gave the right to become children of God(S)— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.(T)
14 The Word became flesh(U) and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,(V) the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace(W) and truth.(X)
15 (John testified(Y) concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)(Z) 16 Out of his fullness(AA) we have all received grace(AB) in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses;(AC) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.(AD) 18 No one has ever seen God,(AE) but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b](AF) is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John the Baptist Denies Being the Messiah
19 Now this was John’s(AG) testimony when the Jewish leaders[c](AH) in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”(AI)
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”(AJ)
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”(AK)
He answered, “No.”
22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness,(AL) ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”[d](AM)
24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 “I baptize with[e] water,”(AN) John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me,(AO) the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”(AP)
28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan,(AQ) where John was baptizing.
John Testifies About Jesus
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,(AR) who takes away the sin of the world!(AS) 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’(AT) 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.(AU) 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water(AV) told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’(AW) 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”[f](AX)
John’s Disciples Follow Jesus(AY)
35 The next day John(AZ) was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”(BA)
37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”
They said, “Rabbi”(BB) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”
So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).(BC) 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called(BD) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[g]).(BE)
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(BF) he said to him, “Follow me.”(BG)
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(BH) 45 Philip found Nathanael(BI) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(BJ) and about whom the prophets also wrote(BK)—Jesus of Nazareth,(BL) the son of Joseph.”(BM)
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(BN) Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite(BO) in whom there is no deceit.”(BP)
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi,(BQ) you are the Son of God;(BR) you are the king of Israel.”(BS)
50 Jesus said, “You believe[h] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[i] you[j] will see ‘heaven open,(BT) and the angels of God ascending and descending(BU) on’[k] the Son of Man.”(BV)
