1 In {the} beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 *He* was in the beginning with God.

3 All things received being through him, and without him not one {thing} received being which has received being.

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

5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.

7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.

8 *He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.

9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.

10 He was in the world, and the world had {its} being through him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;

12 but as many as received him, to them gave he {the} right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;

13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared {him}.

19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?

20 And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I {am} {the} voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of {the} Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.

24 And they were sent from among the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?

26 John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,

27 he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.

29 On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

30 He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he *was* before me;

31 and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.

32 And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with {the} Holy Spirit.

34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

35 Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.

36 And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.

38 But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And *they* said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?

39 He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard {this} from John and followed him.

41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

42 And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

43 On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.

44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

46 And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold {one} truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.

48 Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.

51 And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.

1 I te timatanga te Kupu, i te Atua te Kupu, ko te Atua ano te Kupu.

2 I te Atua ano tenei Kupu i te timatanga.

3 Nana nga mea katoa i hanga; kahore hoki tetahi mea i kore te hanga e ia o nga mea i hanga.

4 I a ia te ora; ko te ora te marama mo nga tangata.

5 I roto i te pouri te marama e whiti ana; heoi kihai i mau i te pouri.

6 I tonoa mai he tangata e te Atua, ko Hoani tona ingoa.

7 I haere mai ia hei kaiwhakaatu, hei whakaatu mo te marama, kia meinga ai e ia nga tangata katoa kia whakapono.

8 Ehara ia i te marama, engari i haere mai hei kaiwhakaatu mo te marama.

9 Ko te marama pono tera, ara ko te marama e marama ai nga tangata katoa e haere mai ana ki te ao.

10 I te ao ia, i hanga ano e ia te ao, a kihai te ao i mohio ki a ia.

11 I haere mai ia ki ona, a kihai ona i manako ki a ia.

12 Tena ko te hunga i manako ki a ia i tukua e ia ki a ratou nga tikanga e meinga ai ratou hei tamariki ma te Atua, ara ki te hunga e whakapono ana ki tona ingoa:

13 Ki te hunga ehara nei i te toto, ehara i ta te kikokiko i pai ai, ehara i ta te tangata i pai ai, engari na te Atua i whanau ai.

14 I whakakikokikoa te Kupu, a noho ana i a matou, i kite ano matou i tona kororia he kororia e rite ana ki to te Tama kotahi a te Matua, ki tonu i te aroha noa, i te pono.

15 I korerotia ia e Hoani; i karanga tera, i mea, Ko ia tenei i korerotia ra e ahau, Ko ia e haere mai ana i muri i ahau e meinga ana ki mua i ahau: no mua hoki ia i ahau.

16 Kua riro hoki i a tatou katoa tetahi wahi o tona raneatanga, te aroha noa hono iho ki te aroha noa.

17 Na Mohi hoki i homai te ture; ko te aroha noa me te pono i ahu mai i a Ihu Karaiti.

18 Kahore ano he tangata i kite noa i te Atua; ko te Tama kotahi, kei te uma nei o te Matua, nana ia i whakapuaki.

19 Na ko te korero tenei a Hoani, i te tononga mai a nga Hurai i Hiruharama i nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Riwaiti hei ui ki a ia, Ko wai koe?

20 Na ka whakina e ia, kihai i whakakahore, i whaki hoki, Ehara ahau i a te Karaiti.

21 A ka ui ratou ki a ia, Tena, pehea? Ko Iraia koe? Ka mea ia, Kahore. Ko te poropiti oti koe? Ka whakahokia e ia, Kahore.

22 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko wai koia koe? Hei kupu whakahoki ma matou ki te hunga i tonoa mai ai matou. E pehea ano koe ki a koe?

23 Ka mea ia, he reo ahau no tetahi e karanga ana i te koraha, Whakatikaia te huarahi o te Ariki; he pera me ta Ihaia poropiti i mea ai.

24 No nga Parihi hoki te hunga i tonoa mai ra.

25 Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha oti koe i iriiri ai, ki te mea ehara koe i a te Karaiti, ehara i a Iraia, ehara i te poropiti?

26 Na ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, He iriiri taku ki te wai: otiia tena te tu na i waenganui i a koutou tetahi kahore e mohiotia e koutou:

27 Ko ia tenei e haere mai ana i muri i ahau kahore hoki ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o tona hu.

28 I meatia enei mea ki Petapara, kia tawahi atu o Horano, ki te wahi e iriiri ana a Hoani.

29 I te aonga ake ka kite ia i a Ihu e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua, hei waha atu i te hara o te ao!

30 Ko ia tenei i korero ai ahau, Kei te haere mai i muri i ahau tetahi tangata kua meinga ki mua i ahua; no mua hoki ia i ahau.

31 A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia; heoi hei whakakite i a ia ki a Iharaira, i haere mai ai ahau me taku iriiri ki te wai.

32 Na ka whakaatu a Hoani, ka mea, I kite ahau i te Wairua e heke iho ana i te rangi, ano he kukupa, a noho ana i runga i a ia.

33 A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia: engari i ki mai ki ahau te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia tena te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.

34 A kua kite ahau, kua whakaatu nei hoki, ko te Tama tenei a te Atua.

35 I te aonga ake i te tu ano a Hoani me ana akonga tokorua;

36 Na ka titiro ia ki a Ihu e haere ana, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua!

37 A ka rongo nga akonga tokorua ki a ia e korero ana, a aru ana raua i a Ihu.

38 A ka tahuri a Ihu, ka kite i a raua e aru ana, ka mea ia ki a raua, E rapu ana korua i te aha? Na ko ta raua meatanga ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, E te Kaiwhaako, kei hea tou kainga?

39 Ka mea ia ki a raua, haere mai kia kite. Haere ana raua, a ka kite i tona wahi i noho ai, a noho ana i a ia i taua ra: ko te tekau hoki ia o nga haora.

40 Ko Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita tetahi o taua tokorua i rongo nei ki a Hoani e korero ana, a aru ana i a ia.

41 Ko ia kua kite wawe i tona tuakana ake, i a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e maua te Mihaia, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Karaiti.

42 Na ka arahina mai ia e ia ki a Ihu. A ka titiro a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Ko Haimona koe, ko te tama a Hona: me hua koe ko Kipa: tona whakamaoritanga ko Pita, ara ko Kohatu.

43 I te aonga ake ka mea a Ihu kia haere ki Kariri, a ka kite i a Piripi: a ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E aru i ahau.

44 Na ko Piripi no Petahaira, no te pa o Anaru raua ko Pita.

45 Ka kite a Piripi i a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou a ia, mona nei te tuhituhi a Mohi i roto i te ture, ta nga poropiti hoki, a Ihu o Nahareta te tama a Hohepa.

46 Na ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, E puta koia tetahi mea pai i Nahareta? ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, haere mai kia kite.

47 Ka kite a Ihu i a Natanahira e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka puaki tana kupu mona, Na he tino tangata no Iharaira, kahore ona tinihanga.

48 Ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, No hea koe i matau ai ki ahau? Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, I te mea kiano koe i karangatia e Piripi, i a koe ano i raro i te piki, i kite ahau i a koe.

49 Na ka whakahoki a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te Tama koe a te Atua, ko te Kingi koe o Iharaira.

50 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, No taku meatanga ki a koe, I kite ahau i a koe i raro i te piki, i whakapono ai koe? rahi atu i enei nga mea e kitea e koe.

51 I mea ano ia ki a ia, He pono, he pono tenei kupu aku ki a koutou, Tera koutou e kite i te rangi e tuwhera ana, i nga anahera a te Atua e piki ake ana, e heke iho ana ki te Tama a te tangata.
