Good News of John

(Oversetting by William Tyndale, shifted by Micah Schmidt)

Head 1

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

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by Him and without Him was made no thing that was made.

4 In Him was life and the life was the light of folkdom;

5 And the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness understood it not.

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

7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, so that all folks through him might believe.

8 He was not that light: but (was) to bear witness of the light.

9 That was a true light, which lightens all folks that come into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world by Him was made: and yet the world knew Him not.

11 He came among His own, and His own nam Him not.

12 But to as many as nam Him, to them gave He might to be the children of God, in that they believed on His Name,

13 who were born not by blood, nor by the will of the flesh, nor yet by the will of weres, but by God.

14 And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt (Gr. worship hutted) among us, and we saw the wulder of it, as the wulder of the only begotten Son of the Father, Who was full of truth and giveness.

15 John bore witness of him and cried, saying, "This was He of whom I spoke, Who, though He came after me, went before me: for He was before me."

16 And of his fullness have all we nam, even giveness for giveness.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but truth and giveness came by Jesus Christ.

18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, Who is in the father's bosom, has broadcast him.

19 And this is the ledger of John: When the Jews sent priests and seeds of Levi from Jerusalem, to ask him, "What are you?"

20 And he acknowledged, and naysaid not, and said plainly, "I am not Christ."

21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." Are you that soothsayer? And he answered, "No."

22 Then said they unto him, "What are you, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What say you of yourself?"

23 He said, "I am the call of a crier in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as said the soothsayer Isaiah."

24 And they who were sent, were of the Freestanders.

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, "Why do you forwash, then, if you be not Christ, nor Elijah, neither a soothsayer?"

26 John answered them, saying, "I forwash with water, but One has come among you, Whom you know not.

27 He it is that comes after me, Who was before me, whose shoe string I am not worthy to unloose."

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John forwashed.

29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, "Behold, the lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world.

30 This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man, Who went before me. For He was before me,

31 and I knew Him not, but so He could be broadcast to Israel, therefore have I come, forwashing with water.'"

32 And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the ferrow downfare from heaven, like a dove, and abide upon Him, and I knew Him not:

33 But He that sent me to forwash in water, the same said unto me, 'Upon Whom you will see the ferrow downfare, and stay still on Him, the Same is He who forwashes with the Holy Ghost.'

34 And I saw it, and bore witness, that this is the Son of God."

35 The next day after, John stood again, and two of his followers,

36 and he beheld Jesus as he walked by, and said, "Behold the lamb of God."

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

38 And Jesus wended about, and saw them follow, and said unto them, "What seek you?" They said unto him, "Rabbi," which is to say, by oversetting, "Teacher: where do You dwell?"

39 He said unto them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he dwelt: and abode with Him that day. For it was about the tenth stound.

40 One of the two, that heard John speak, and followed Jesus, was Andrew; Simon Peter's brother.

41 The same found his brother Simon first, and said unto him, "We have found Messiah," which is by oversetting, Chosen.

42 And brought him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him and said, "You are Simon, the son of Jonas, you will be called Cephas," which is by oversetting, a stone.

43 The day following, Jesus would go into Galilee, and found Philip, and said unto him, "Follow me."

44 Philip was of Bethsaida, the burrow of Andrew and Peter.

45 And Philip found Nathaniel, and said unto him, "We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the soothsayers, wrote: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth."

46 And Nathanael said unto him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, a true Israelite, in whom is no guile."

48 Nathanael said unto him, "From where do You know me?" Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

49 Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, "Because I said unto you, 'I saw thee under the fig tree,' you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

51 And He said unto him, "Truly, truly, I say unto you: hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the errand-ghosts of God upfaring, and downfaring over the Son of man."
