1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
2He was with God in the beginning.

3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

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

6There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

7He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.

8He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

9The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.

10He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
11ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
11He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

12But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
13ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲁⲥⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
13children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

14The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”

16From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

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

18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

19And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
20He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
21ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
21“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”

22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
24ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ.
24Then the Pharisees who had been sent

25asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
26“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.

28All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

31I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

35The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

37And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

38Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

39“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
