Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 1

1. in principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum

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

2. hoc erat in principio apud Deum

2. The same was in the beginning with God.

3. omnia per ipsum facta sunt et sine ipso factum est nihil quod factum est

3. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.

4. in ipso vita erat et vita erat lux hominum

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

5. et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebræ eam non conprehenderunt

5. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

6. fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Johannes

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

7. hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine ut omnes crederent per illum

7. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.

8. non erat ille lux sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine

8. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.

9. erat lux vera quæ inluminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum

9. That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.

10. in mundo erat et mundus per ipsum factus est et mundus eum non cognovit

10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11. in propria venit et sui eum non receperunt

11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12. quotquot autem receperunt eum dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri his qui credunt in nomine ejus

12. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.

13. qui non ex sanguinibus neque ex voluntate carnis neque ex voluntate viri sed ex Deo nati sunt

13. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14. et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis et vidimus gloriam ejus gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiæ et veritatis

14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15. Johannes testimonium perhibet de ipso et clamat dicens hic erat quem dixi vobis qui post me venturus est ante me factus est quia prior me erat

15. John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.

16. et de plenitudine ejus nos omnes accepimus et gratiam pro gratia

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

17. quia lex per Mosen data est gratia et veritas per Jesum Christum facta est

17. For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18. Deum nemo vidit umquam unigenitus Filius qui est in sinu Patris ipse enarravit

18. No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19. et hoc est testimonium Johannis quando miserunt Judæi ab Hierosolymis sacerdotes et Levitas ad eum ut interrogarent eum tu quis es

19. And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?

20. et confessus est et non negavit et confessus est quia non sum ego Christus

20. And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.

21. et interrogaverunt eum quid ergo Helias es tu et dicit non sum propheta es tu et respondit non

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

22. dixerunt ergo ei quis es ut responsum demus his qui miserunt nos quid dicis de te ipso

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

23. ait ego vox clamantis in deserto dirigite viam Domini sicut dixit Esajas propheta

23. He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.

24. et qui missi fuerant erant ex Pharisæis

24. And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.

25. et interrogaverunt eum et dixerunt ei quid ergo baptizas si tu non es Christus neque Helias neque propheta

25. And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?

26. respondit eis Johannes dicens ego baptizo in aqua medius autem vestrum stetit quem vos non scitis

26. John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.

27. ipse est qui post me venturus est qui ante me factus est cujus ego non sum dignus ut solvam ejus corrigiam calciamenti

27. The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.

28. hæc in Bethania facta sunt trans Jordanen ubi erat Johannes baptizans

28. These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29. altera die videt Johannes Jesum venientem ad se et ait ecce agnus Dei qui tollit peccatum mundi

29. The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.

30. hic est de quo dixi post me venit vir qui ante me factus est quia prior me erat

30. This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.

31. et ego nesciebam eum sed ut manifestaretur Israël propterea veni ego in aqua baptizans

31. And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32. et testimonium perhibuit Johannes dicens quia vidi Spiritum descendentem quasi columbam de cælo et mansit super eum

32. And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.

33. et ego nesciebam eum sed qui misit me baptizare in aqua ille mihi dixit super quem videris Spiritum descendentem et manentem super eum hic est qui baptizat in Spiritu Sancto

33. And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34. et ego vidi et testimonium perhibui quia hic est Filius Dei

34. And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.

35. altera die iterum stabat Johannes et ex discipulis ejus duo

35. The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.

36. et respiciens Jesum ambulantem dicit ecce agnus Dei

36. And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.

37. et audierunt eum duo discipuli loquentem et secuti sunt Jesum

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

38. conversus autem Jesus et videns eos sequentes dicit eis quid quæritis qui dixerunt ei rabbi quod dicitur interpretatum magister ubi habitas

38. And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

39. dicit eis venite et videte venerunt et viderunt ubi maneret et apud eum manserunt die illo hora autem erat quasi decima

39. He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.

40. erat autem Andreas frater Simonis Petri unus ex duobus qui audierant ab Johanne et secuti fuerant eum

40. And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.

41. invenit hic primum fratrem suum Simonem et dicit ei invenimus Messiam quod est interpretatum Christus

41. He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

42. et adduxit eum ad Jesum intuitus autem eum Jesus dixit tu es Simon filius Johanna tu vocaberis Cephas quod interpretatur Petrus

42. And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.

43. in crastinum voluit exire in Galilæam et invenit Philippum et dicit ei Jesus sequere me

43. On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.

44. erat autem Philippus a Bethsaida civitate Andreæ et Petri

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

45. invenit Philippus Nathanaël et dicit ei quem scripsit Moses in lege et prophetæ invenimus Jesum filium Joseph a Nazareth

45. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.

46. et dixit ei Nathanaël a Nazareth potest aliquid boni esse dicit ei Philippus veni et vide

46. And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.

47. vidit Jesus Nathanaël venientem ad se et dicit de eo ecce vere Israhelita in quo dolus non est

47. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.

48. dicit ei Nathanaël unde me nosti respondit Jesus et dixit ei priusquam te Philippus vocaret cum esses sub ficu vidi te

48. Nathanael saith 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. respondit ei Nathanaël et ait rabbi tu es Filius Dei tu es rex Israël

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

50. respondit Jesus et dixit ei quia dixi tibi vidi te sub ficu credis majus his videbis

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

51. et dicit ei amen amen dico vobis videbitis cælum apertum et angelos Dei ascendentes et descendentes supra Filium hominis

51. And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
