Christ Comes to the World

¹Before the world began, the Worda was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was there with God in the beginning. ³Everything was made through him, and nothing was made without him. ⁴In him there was life, and that life was a light for the people of the world. ⁵The lightb shines in the darknessc, and the darkness has not defeatedd it.
⁶There was a man named Johne, who was sent by God. ⁷He came to tell people about the light. Through him all people could hear about the light and believe. ⁸John was not the light. But he came to tell people about the light. ⁹The true light was coming into the world. This is the true light that gives light to all people.
¹⁰The Word was already in the world. The world was made through him, but the world did not know him. ¹¹He came to the world that was his own. And his own people did not accept him. ¹²But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God. ¹³They became God's children, but not in the way babies are usually born. It was not because of any human desire or plan. They were born from God himself.
¹⁴The Word became a man and lived among us. We saw his divine greatnessf - the greatness that belongs to the only Son of the Father. The Word was full of graceg and truth. ¹⁵John told people about him. He said loudly, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'The one who is coming after me is greater than I am, because he was living before I was even born.'"
¹⁶Yes, the Word was full of grace and truth, and from him we all received one blessing after anotherh. ¹⁷That is, the law was given to us through Mosesi, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸No one has ever seen God. The only Son is the one who has shown us what God is like. He is himself God and is very close to the Father.j

John Tells About the Messiah(Mt. 3:1-12; Mk. 1:1-8; Lk. 3:1-9, 15-17) ¹⁹The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent some priests and Levitesk to Johne to ask him, "Who are you?" He told them the truth. ²⁰Without any hesitation he said openly and plainly, "I am not the Messiahl."
²¹They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijahm?"
He answered, "No, I am not Elijah."
They asked, "Are you the Prophetn?"
He answered, "No, I am not the Prophet."
²²Then they said, "Who are you? Tell us about yourself. Give us an answer to tell the people who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
²³John told them the words of the prophetn Isaiah:

"I am the voice of someone shouting in the desert: 'Make a straight road ready for the Lord.'"o

²⁴These Jews were sent from the Phariseesp. ²⁵They said to John, "You say you are not the Messiah. You say you are not Elijah or the Prophet. Then why do you baptizeq people?"
²⁶John answered, "I baptize people with water. But there is someone here with you that you don't know. ²⁷He is the one who is coming later. I am not good enough to be the slave who unties the strings on his sandals."
²⁸These things all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan River. This is where John was baptizing people.

Jesus, the Lamb of God ²⁹The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lambr of God. He takes away the sins of the world! ³⁰This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'There is a man coming after me who is greater than I am, because he was living even before I was born.' ³¹I did not know who he was. But I came baptizing people with water so that Israels could know that he is the Messiaht." ^32-³³Then John said, "I also did not know who the Messiah was. But the one who sent me to baptizeq with water told me, 'You will see the Spiritu come down and rest on a man. He is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' I have seen this happen. I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on this man. ³⁴So this is what I tell people: 'He is the Son of God.'"

The First Followers of Jesus ³⁵The next day John was there again and had two of his followers with him. ³⁶He saw Jesus walking by and said, "Look, the Lambr of God!"
³⁷The two followers heard him say this, so they followed Jesus. ³⁸Jesus turned and saw the two men following him. He asked, "What do you want?"
They said, "Rabbi, where are you staying?" ("Rabbi" means "Teacher.")
³⁹He answered, "Come with me and you will see." So the two men went with him. They saw the place where he was staying, and they stayed there with him that day. It was about four o'clock.
⁴⁰These men followed Jesus after they had heard about him from John. One of them was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. ⁴¹The first thing Andrew did was to go and find his brother Simon. Andrew said to him, "We have found the Messiahl." ("Messiah" means "Christ."v)
⁴²Then Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas." ("Cephas" means "Peter."w)
⁴³The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He met Philip and said to him, "Follow me." ⁴⁴Philip was from the town of Bethsaida, the same as Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the man that Mosesi wrote about in the law. The prophetsn wrote about him too. He is Jesus, the son of Joseph. He is from Nazareth."
⁴⁶But Nathanael said to Philip, "Nazareth! Can anything good come from Nazareth?"
Philip answered, "Come and see." ⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said, "This man coming is a true Israelitex, one you can trusty." ⁴⁸Nathanael asked, "How do you know me?"
Jesus answered, "I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip told you about me." ⁴⁹Then Nathanael said, "Teacher, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israels." ⁵⁰Jesus said to him, "Do you believe this just because I said I saw you under the fig tree? You will see much greater things than that!" ⁵¹Then he said, "Believe me when I say that you will all see heaven open. You will see 'angels of God going up and coming down'z on the Son of Manaa."

^j1:18 The only Son … Father Or more literally, “The only God, who is very close to the Father, has shown us what he is like.” Some other Greek copies say, “The only Son is very close to the Father and has shown us what he is like.”
^kLevite Any of the men from the tribe of Levi, who helped the Israelite priests in the Holy Tent (Tabernacle) and Temple. In later periods some Levites worked for the civil government.
^lMessiah A Hebrew word that has the same meaning as the Greek word Christ (see “Christ”). It was a title for the kings of God’s people in the Old Testament and for the special king God promised to send as a “savior” to defeat evil and establish the reign of God. Many prophets made it clear that this new kingdom would be eternal; that is, not only would the promised Messiah bring about a time of justice and right living among God’s people here on earth, but also his kingdom would extend beyond this world to life forever with God. However, most Jews of the first century expected the Messiah to be a political ruler here on earth who would defeat the other nations and return the nation of Israel to a position of great glory and power. But God intended his Messiah to establish a new “Israel,” an eternal kingdom that would bless all the nations.
^mElijah A very important Israelite leader and prophet who spoke for God during a 25-year period ending about 850 b.c. In the time of Jesus, the Jews were expecting Elijah to come again before the Messiah. See Mal. 4:5-6.

^sIsrael Another name for Jacob (see Gen. 32:24-28) and for the nation God chose to accomplish his plan of blessing the world through the Messiah (see “Messiah”). The people of Israel were the descendants of Jacob’s twelve sons. In the New Testament this name is sometimes used in a broader sense to mean all of God’s people.
^t1:31 so that … the Messiah Literally, “so that he might be revealed as the Messiah to Israel.” See “Messiah” in the Word List.
^uSpirit See “Holy Spirit.”
^vChrist Literally, “Anointed,” a title that comes from the Old Testament ceremony in which perfumed oil was poured or rubbed on someone being appointed to a high office, especially that of prophet, priest, or king, to show that this person was chosen by God for that role. The Hebrew word is “Messiah,” a title used for Old Testament kings and for the one God would send as prophet, priest, and king to bring people back to a good relationship with him.
^w1:42 Peter The Greek name “Peter,” like the Aramaic name “Cephas,” means “rock.”
^xIsraelite Belonging to the nation of Israel (see “Israel”).
^y1:47 one you can trust Literally, “in whom is no deceit.” In the Old Testament, Israel’s other name, Jacob, is explained with words that mean “deceit” or “trickery,” for which he was well known. See Gen. 27:35, 36.
^z1:51 Quote from Gen. 28:12.
^aaSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means “human being” or “mankind,” but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people.
