1⁰¹²³B'resheet ·In the beginning of the beginning· was ha D'var ·the Word·, and ha D'var ·the Word· was with God, and ha D'var ·the Word· was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God.

3All things came to be through him and without him nothing made had being.

4⁴In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John [Yah is gracious].

7The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might trust through him.

8He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

9⁵The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.

11⁶⁷He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

12But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who trust in his name:

13who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14^89101112Ha D'var ·The Word· became flesh, and tabernacled among us. We saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, such shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· as of the one and only Son of the Abba ·Father·, full of grace and truth.

15John [Yah is gracious] testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”

16¹³From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

17For the Torah ·Teaching· was given through Moses [Drawn out]; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah [Salvation Anointed one].

18No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, he has declared him.

19This is John [Yah is gracious]’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites [Descendants of United with] from Jerusalem [City of peace] to ask him, “Who are you?”

20He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Messiah [Anointed one].”

21They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah [My God Yah]?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet (promised Messiah)?” He answered, “No.”

22¹⁴They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

23He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of MarYah [Master Yahweh],’ ¹⁵as Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet said.”

24The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees [Separated].

25They asked him, “Why then do you mikvah ·baptise·, if you are not the Messiah [Anointed one], nor Elijah [My God Yah], nor the prophet (promised Messiah)?”

26¹⁶John [Yah is gracious] answered them, “I mikvah ·baptise· in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

27He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

28These things were done in Bethany [House of affliction] beyond the Jordan [Descender], where John [Yah is gracious] was baptizing.

29The next day, he saw Yeshua [Salvation] coming to him, and said, ¹⁷¹⁸“Behold, the Lamb of God, ¹⁹who takes away the abstract sin ·miss the mark· of the world!

30This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

31I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel [God prevails].”

32²⁰²¹²²John [Yah is gracious] testified, saying, “I have seen haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

33I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to mikvah ·baptise· in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who does mikvah ·baptise· in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness].’

34²³I have seen, and have testified that this is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”

35Again, the next day, John [Yah is gracious] was standing with two of his disciples,

36and he looked at Yeshua [Salvation] as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

37The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua [Salvation].

38Yeshua [Salvation] turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi!” (Which is to say, being interpreted, ·Teacher·). “Where are you staying?”

39He said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

40One of the two who heard John [Yah is gracious], and followed him, was Andrew [Manly], Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock]’s brother.

41He first found his own brother, Simeon [Hearing], and said to him, “We have found the Messiah [Anointed one]!” (which is, being interpreted, Moshiach ·Anointed one·).

42He brought him to Yeshua [Salvation]. Yeshua [Salvation] looked at him, and said, “You are Simeon [Hearing] the son of Jonah [Dove]. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter [Rock]).

43On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee [District, Circuit], and he found Philip [Loves horses]. Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Follow me.”

44Now Philip [Loves horses] was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew [Manly] and Peter [Rock].

45Philip [Loves horses] found Nathanael [Given by God], and said to him, “We have found the one that Moses [Drawn out] wrote about in the Torah ·Teaching·, and the Prophets— it is Yeshua [Salvation] son of Joseph [May he add] from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”

46Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]?” Philip [Loves horses] said to him, “Come and see.”

47²⁴Yeshua [Salvation] saw Nathanael [Given by God] coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

48²⁵Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Before Philip [Loves horses] called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49Nathanael [Given by God] answered him, “ Rabbi ·Teacher·, you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·! You are Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails]!”

50Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you trust? You will see greater things than these!”

51He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending ²⁶on the Son of Man.”
