² Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

KJVAnd^G1161 both^G2532 Jesus^G2424 was called^G2564^(G5681), and^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101, to^G1519 the marriage^G1062.

³ When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when they wanted^G5302^(G5660) wine^G3631, the mother^G3384 of Jesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto^G4314 him^G846, They have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 wine^G3631.

⁴ Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Woman^G1135, what^G5101 have I^G1698 to do with^G2532 thee^G4671? mine^G3450 hour^G5610 is^G2240 not yet^G3768 come^G2240^(G5719).

⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

KJVHis^G846 mother^G3384 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto the servants^G1249, Whatsoever^G3748^G302 he saith^G3004^(G5725) unto you^G5213, do^G4160^(G5657) it.

⁶ Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.

KJVAnd^G1161 there were^G2258^(G5713) set^G2749^(G5740) there^G1563 six^G1803 waterpots^G5201 of stone^G3035, after^G2596 the manner of the purifying^G2512 of the Jews^G2453, containing^G5562^(G5723) two^G1417 or^G2228 three^G5140 firkins^G3355 apiece^G303.

⁷ Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Fill^G1072^(G5657) the waterpots^G5201 with water^G5204. And^G2532 they filled^G1072 them^G846 up^G1072^(G5656) to^G2193 the brim^G507.

⁸ He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.

KJVAnd^G2532 he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Draw out^G501^(G5657) now^G3568, and^G2532 bear^G5342^(G5720) unto the governor of the feast^G755. And^G2532 they bare^G5342^(G5656) it.

⁹ When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom

KJV^G1161 When^G5613 the ruler of the feast^G755 had tasted^G1089^(G5662) the water^G5204 that was made^G1096^(G5772) wine^G3631, and^G2532 knew^G1492^(G5715) not^G3756 whence^G4159 it was^G2076^(G5748):(but^G1161 the servants^G1249 which^G3588 drew^G501^(G5761) the water^G5204 knew^G1492^(G5715);) the governor of the feast^G755 called^G5455^(G5719) the bridegroom^G3566,

¹⁰ and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”

KJVAnd^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Every^G3956 man^G444 at the beginning^G4412 doth set forth^G5087^(G5719) good^G2570 wine^G3631; and^G2532 when^G3752 men have well drunk^G3184^(G5686), then^G5119 that which is worse^G1640: but thou^G4771 hast kept^G5083^(G5758) the good^G2570 wine^G3631 until^G2193 now^G737.

¹¹ This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

KJVThis^G5026 beginning^G746 of miracles^G4592 did^G4160^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 in^G1722 Cana^G2580 of Galilee^G1056, and^G2532 manifested forth^G5319^(G5656) his^G846 glory^G1391; and^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 believed^G4100^(G5656) on^G1519 him^G846.

¹² After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

KJVAfter^G3326 this^G5124 he went down^G2597^(G5627) to^G1519 Capernaum^G2584, he^G846, and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384, and^G2532 his^G846 brethren^G80, and^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101: and^G2532 they continued^G3306^(G5656) there^G1563 not^G3756 many^G4183 days^G2250.

¹³ The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G2532 the Jews^G2453' passover^G3957 was^G2258^(G5713) at hand^G1451, and^G2532 Jesus^G2424 went up^G305^(G5627) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414,

¹⁴ He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

KJVAnd^G2532 found^G2147^(G5627) in^G1722 the temple^G2411 those that sold^G4453^(G5723) oxen^G1016 and^G2532 sheep^G4263 and^G2532 doves^G4058, and^G2532 the changers of money^G2773 sitting^G2521^(G5740):

¹⁵ He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had made^G4160^(G5660) a scourge^G5416 of^G1537 small cords^G4979, he drove^G1544^(G5627) them all^G3956 out of^G1537 the temple^G2411, and^G5037 the sheep^G4263, and^G2532 the oxen^G1016; and^G2532 poured out^G1632^(G5656) the changers^G2855' money^G2772, and^G2532 overthrew^G390^(G5656) the tables^G5132;

¹⁶ To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them that sold^G4453^(G5723) doves^G4058, Take^G142^(G5657) these things^G5023 hence^G1782; make^G4160^(G5720) not^G3361 my^G3450 Father's^G3962 house^G3624 an house^G3624 of merchandise^G1712.

¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”

KJVAnd^G1161 his^G846 disciples^G3101 remembered^G3415^(G5681) that^G3754 it was^G2076^(G5748) written^G1125^(G5772), The zeal^G2205 of thine^G4675 house^G3624 hath eaten^G2719 me^G3165 up^G2719^(G5627).

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

KJVThen^G3767 answered^G611^(G5662) the Jews^G2453 and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, What^G5101 sign^G4592 shewest thou^G1166^(G5719) unto us^G2254, seeing that^G3754 thou doest^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023?

¹⁹ Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Destroy^G3089^(G5657) this^G5126 temple^G3485, and^G2532 in^G1722 three^G5140 days^G2250 I will raise^G1453 it^G846 up^G1453^(G5692).

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) the Jews^G2453, Forty^G5062 and^G2532 six^G1803 years^G2094 was^G3618 this^G3778 temple^G3485 in building^G3618^(G5681), and^G2532 wilt^G1453 thou^G4771 rear^G1453 it^G846 up^G1453^(G5692) in^G1722 three^G5140 days^G2250?

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

KJVBut^G1161 he^G1565 spake^G3004^(G5707) of^G4012 the temple^G3485 of his^G846 body^G4983.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

KJVWhen^G3753 therefore^G3767 he was risen^G1453^(G5681) from^G1537 the dead^G3498, his^G846 disciples^G3101 remembered^G3415^(G5681) that^G3754 he had said^G3004^(G5707) this^G5124 unto them^G846; and^G2532 they believed^G4100^(G5656) the scripture^G1124, and^G2532 the word^G3056 which^G3739 Jesus^G2424 had said^G2036^(G5627).

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

KJVNow^G1161 when^G5613 he was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414 at^G1722 the passover^G3957, in^G1722 the feast^G1859 day, many^G4183 believed^G4100^(G5656) in^G1519 his^G846 name^G3686, when they saw^G2334^(G5723) the miracles^G846^G4592 which^G3739 he did^G4160^(G5707).

²⁴ But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424^G846 did^G4100 not^G3756 commit^G4100^(G5707) himself^G1438 unto them^G846, because^G1223 he^G846 knew^G1097^(G5721) all^G3956 men,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

KJVAnd^G2532^G3754 needed^G5532^G2192^(G5707) not^G3756 that^G2443 any^G5100 should testify^G3140^(G5661) of^G4012 man^G444: for^G1063 he^G846 knew^G1097^(G5707) what^G5101 was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 man^G444.

WEB·John 1

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

KJVIn^G1722 the beginning^G746 was^G2258^(G5713) the Word^G3056, and^G2532 the Word^G3056 was^G2258^(G5713) with^G4314 God^G2316, and^G2532 the Word^G3056 was^G2258^(G5713) God^G2316.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

KJVThe same^G3778 was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the beginning^G746 with^G4314 God^G2316.

³ All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

KJVAll things^G3956 were made^G1096^(G5633) by^G1223 him^G846; and^G2532 without^G5565 him^G846 was^G1096 not^G3761 any thing^G1520 made^G1096^(G5633) that^G3739 was made^G1096^(G5754).

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

KJVIn^G1722 him^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) life^G2222; and^G2532 the life^G2222 was^G2258^(G5713) the light^G5457 of men^G444.

⁵ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

KJVAnd^G2532 the light^G5457 shineth^G5316^(G5719) in^G1722 darkness^G4653; and^G2532 the darkness^G4653 comprehended^G2638^(G5627) it^G846 not^G3756.

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

KJVThere was^G1096^(G5633) a man^G444 sent^G649^(G5772) from^G3844 God^G2316, whose^G846 name^G3686 was John^G2491.

⁷ The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

KJVThe same^G3778 came^G2064^(G5627) for^G1519 a witness^G3141, to^G2443 bear witness^G3140^(G5661) of^G4012 the Light^G5457, that^G2443 all^G3956 men through^G1223 him^G846 might believe^G4100^(G5661).

⁸ He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

KJVHe was^G2258^(G5713) not^G3756 that^G1565 Light^G5457, but^G235 was sent to^G2443 bear witness^G3140^(G5661) of^G4012 that Light^G5457.

⁹ The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

KJVThat was^G2258^(G5713) the true^G228 Light^G5457, which^G3739 lighteth^G5461^(G5719) every man^G3956^G444 that cometh^G2064^(G5740) into^G1519 the world^G2889.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.

KJVHe was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the world^G2889, and^G2532 the world^G2889 was made^G1096^(G5633) by^G1223 him^G846, and^G2532 the world^G2889 knew^G1097^(G5627) him^G846 not^G3756.

¹¹ He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

KJVHe came^G2064^(G5627) unto^G1519 his own^G2398, and^G2532 his own^G2398 received^G3880^(G5627) him^G846 not^G3756.

¹² But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

KJVBut^G1161 as many as^G3745 received^G2983^(G5627) him^G846, to them^G846 gave he^G1325^(G5656) power^G1849 to become^G1096^(G5635) the sons^G5043 of God^G2316, even to them that believe^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 his^G846 name^G3686:

¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

KJVWhich^G3739 were born^G1080^(G5681), not^G3756 of^G1537 blood^G129, nor^G3761 of^G1537 the will^G2307 of the flesh^G4561, nor^G3761 of^G1537 the will^G2307 of man^G435, but^G235 of^G1537 God^G2316.

¹⁴ The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

KJVAnd^G2532 the Word^G3056 was made^G1096^(G5633) flesh^G4561, and^G2532 dwelt^G4637^(G5656) among^G1722 us^G2254,(and^G2532 we beheld^G2300^(G5662) his^G846 glory^G1391, the glory^G1391 as^G5613 of the only begotten^G3439 of^G3844 the Father^G3962,) full^G4134 of grace^G5485 and^G2532 truth^G225.

¹⁵ John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”

KJVJohn^G2491 bare witness^G3140^(G5719) of^G4012 him^G846, and^G2532 cried^G2896^(G5754), saying^G3004^(G5723), This^G3778 was he^G2258^(G5713) of whom^G3739 I spake^G2036^(G5627), He that cometh^G2064^(G5740) after^G3694 me^G3450 is preferred^G1096^(G5754) before^G1715 me^G3450: for^G3754 he was^G2258^(G5713) before^G4413 me^G3450.

¹⁶ From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

KJVAnd^G2532 of^G1537 his^G846 fulness^G4138 have^G2983 all^G3956 we^G2249 received^G2983^(G5627), and^G2532 grace^G5485 for^G473 grace^G5485.

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G3754 the law^G3551 was given^G1325^(G5681) by^G1223 Moses^G3475, but grace^G5485 and^G2532 truth^G225 came^G1096^(G5633) by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹⁸ No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

KJVNo man^G3762 hath seen^G3708^(G5758) God^G2316 at any time^G4455; the only begotten^G3439 Son^G5207, which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752) in^G1519 the bosom^G2859 of the Father^G3962, he^G1565 hath declared^G1834^(G5662) him.

¹⁹ This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the record^G3141 of John^G2491, when^G3753 the Jews^G2453 sent^G649^(G5656) priests^G2409 and^G2532 Levites^G3019 from^G1537 Jerusalem^G2414 to^G2443 ask^G2065^(G5661) him^G846, Who^G5101 art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771?

²⁰ He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he confessed^G3670^(G5656), and^G2532 denied^G720^(G5662) not^G3756; but^G2532 confessed^G3670^(G5656),^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 the Christ^G5547.

²¹ They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”

KJVAnd^G2532 they asked^G2065^(G5656) him^G846, What^G5101 then^G3767? Art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 Elias^G2243? And^G2532 he saith^G3004^(G5719), I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756. Art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 that prophet^G4396? And^G2532 he answered^G611^(G5662), No^G3756.

²² They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

KJVThen^G3767 said they^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Who^G5101 art thou^G1488^(G5748)? that^G2443 we may give^G1325^(G5632) an answer^G612 to them that sent^G3992^(G5660) us^G2248. What^G5101 sayest thou^G3004^(G5719) of^G4012 thyself^G4572?

²³ He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

KJVHe said^G5346^(G5713), I^G1473 am the voice^G5456 of one crying^G994^(G5723) in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048, Make straight^G2116^(G5657) the way^G3598 of the Lord^G2962, as^G2531 said^G2036^(G5627) the prophet^G4396 Esaias^G2268.

²⁴ The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

KJVAnd^G2532 they which^G3588 were sent^G649^(G5772) were^G2258^(G5713) of^G1537 the Pharisees^G5330.

²⁵ They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

KJVAnd^G2532 they asked^G2065^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Why^G5101 baptizest thou^G907^(G5719) then^G3767, if^G1487 thou^G4771 be^G1488^(G5748) not^G3756 that Christ^G5547, nor^G3777 Elias^G2243, neither^G3777 that prophet^G4396?

²⁶ John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

KJVJohn^G2491 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), I^G1473 baptize^G907^(G5719) with^G1722 water^G5204: but^G1161 there standeth one^G2476^(G5707)^(G5758) among^G3319 you^G5216, whom^G3739 ye^G5210 know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756;

²⁷ He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

KJVHe^G846 it is^G2076^(G5748), who^G3739 coming^G2064^(G5740) after^G3694 me^G3450 is preferred^G1096^(G5754) before^G1715 me^G3450, whose^G3739^G846 shoe's^G5266 latchet^G2438 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 worthy^G514 to^G2443 unloose^G3089^(G5661).

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

KJVThese things^G5023 were done^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 Bethabara^G962 beyond^G4008 Jordan^G2446, where^G3699 John^G2491 was^G2258^(G5713) baptizing^G907^(G5723).

²⁹ The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

KJVThe next day^G1887 John^G2491 seeth^G991^(G5719) Jesus^G2424 coming^G2064^(G5740) unto^G4314 him^G846, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719), Behold^G2396 the Lamb^G286 of God^G2316, which^G3588 taketh away^G142^(G5723) the sin^G266 of the world^G2889.

³⁰ This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

KJVThis^G3778 is he^G2076^(G5748) of^G4012 whom^G3739 I^G1473 said^G2036^(G5627), After^G3694 me^G3450 cometh^G2064^(G5736) a man^G435 which^G3739 is preferred^G1096^(G5754) before^G1715 me^G3450: for^G3754 he was^G2258^(G5713) before^G4413 me^G3450.

³¹ I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”

KJVAnd I^G2504 knew^G1492^(G5715) him^G846 not^G3756: but^G235 that^G2443 he should be made manifest^G5319^(G5686) to Israel^G2474, therefore^G1223^G5124 am^G2064 I^G1473 come^G2064^(G5627) baptizing^G907^(G5723) with^G1722 water^G5204.

³² John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

KJVAnd^G2532 John^G2491 bare record^G3140^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 I saw^G2300^(G5766) the Spirit^G4151 descending^G2597^(G5723) from^G1537 heaven^G3772 like^G5616 a dove^G4058, and^G2532 it abode^G3306^(G5656) upon^G1909 him^G846.

³³ I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

KJVAnd I^G2504 knew^G1492^(G5715) him^G846 not^G3756: but^G235 he that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165 to baptize^G907^(G5721) with^G1722 water^G5204, the same^G1565 said^G2036^(G5627) unto me^G3427, Upon^G1909 whom^G3739^G302 thou shalt see^G1492^(G5632) the Spirit^G4151 descending^G2597^(G5723), and^G2532 remaining^G3306^(G5723) on^G1909 him^G846, the same^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) he which baptizeth^G907^(G5723) with^G1722 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

³⁴ I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

KJVAnd I^G2504 saw^G3708^(G5758), and^G2532 bare record^G3140^(G5758) that^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316.

³⁶ and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

KJVAnd^G2532 looking upon^G1689^(G5660) Jesus^G2424 as he walked^G4043^(G5723), he saith^G3004^(G5719), Behold^G2396 the Lamb^G286 of God^G2316!

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

KJVAnd^G2532 the two^G1417 disciples^G3101 heard^G191^(G5656) him^G846 speak^G2980^(G5723), and^G2532 they followed^G190^(G5656) Jesus^G2424.

³⁸ Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”

KJVThen^G1161 Jesus^G2424 turned^G4762^(G5651), and^G2532 saw^G2300^(G5666) them^G846 following^G190^(G5723), and saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, What^G5101 seek ye^G2212^(G5719)?^G1161 They said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Rabbi^G4461,(which^G3739 is to say^G3004^(G5743), being interpreted^G2059^(G5746), Master^G1320,) where^G4226 dwellest thou^G3306^(G5719)?

³⁹ He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

KJVHe saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Come^G2064^(G5737) and^G2532 see^G1492^(G5628). They came^G2064^(G5627) and^G2532 saw^G1492^(G5627) where^G4226 he dwelt^G3306^(G5719), and^G2532 abode^G3306^(G5656) with^G3844 him^G846 that^G1565 day^G2250: for^G1161 it was^G2258^(G5713) about^G5613 the tenth^G1182 hour^G5610.

⁴⁰ One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

KJVOne^G1520 of^G1537 the two^G1417 which^G3588 heard^G191^(G5660)^G3844 John^G2491 speak, and^G2532 followed^G190^(G5660) him^G846, was^G2258^(G5713) Andrew^G406, Simon^G4613 Peter's^G4074 brother^G80.

⁴¹ He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

KJVHe^G3778 first^G4413 findeth^G2147^(G5719) his own^G2398 brother^G80 Simon^G4613, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, We have found^G2147^(G5758) the Messias^G3323, which^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748), being interpreted^G3177^(G5746), the Christ^G5547.

⁴² He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).

KJVAnd^G2532 he brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846 to^G4314 Jesus^G2424. And^G1161 when Jesus^G2424 beheld^G1689^(G5660) him^G846, he said^G2036^(G5627), Thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) Simon^G4613 the son^G5207 of Jona^G2495: thou^G4771 shalt be called^G2564^(G5701) Cephas^G2786, which^G3739 is by interpretation^G2059^(G5743), A stone^G4074.

⁴³ On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”

KJVThe day following^G1887 Jesus^G2424 would^G2309^(G5656) go forth^G1831^(G5629) into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, and^G2532 findeth^G2147^(G5719) Philip^G5376, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Follow^G190^(G5720) me^G3427.

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

KJVNow^G1161 Philip^G5376 was^G2258^(G5713) of^G575 Bethsaida^G966, the city^G4172 of^G1537 Andrew^G406 and^G2532 Peter^G4074.

⁴⁵ Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

KJVPhilip^G5376 findeth^G2147^(G5719) Nathanael^G3482, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, We have found^G2147^(G5758) him, of whom^G3739 Moses^G3475 in^G1722 the law^G3551, and^G2532 the prophets^G4396, did write^G1125^(G5656), Jesus^G2424 of^G575 Nazareth^G3478, the son^G5207 of Joseph^G2501.

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

KJVAnd^G2532 Nathanael^G3482 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Can^G1410^(G5736) there any^G5100 good thing^G18 come^G1511^(G5750) out of^G1537 Nazareth^G3478? Philip^G5376 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Come^G2064^(G5736) and^G2532 see^G1492^(G5657).

KJVJesus^G2424 saw^G1492^(G5627) Nathanael^G3482 coming^G2064^(G5740) to^G4314 him^G846, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) of^G4012 him^G846, Behold^G2396 an Israelite^G2475 indeed^G230, in^G1722 whom^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) no^G3756 guile^G1388!

⁴⁸ Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

KJVNathanael^G3482 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Whence^G4159 knowest thou^G1097^(G5719) me^G3165? Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Before^G4253 that Philip^G5376 called^G5455^(G5658) thee^G4571, when thou wast^G5607^(G5752) under^G5259 the fig tree^G4808, I saw^G1492^(G5627) thee^G4571.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”

KJVNathanael^G3482 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Rabbi^G4461, thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316; thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) the King^G935 of Israel^G2474.

⁵⁰ Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Because^G3754 I said^G2036^(G5627) unto thee^G4671, I saw^G1492^(G5627) thee^G4571 under^G5270 the fig tree^G4808, believest thou^G4100^(G5719)? thou shalt see^G3700^(G5695) greater things^G3187 than these^G5130.

⁵¹ He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Verily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Hereafter^G737^G575 ye shall see^G3700^(G5695) heaven^G3772 open^G455^(G5757), and^G2532 the angels^G32 of God^G2316 ascending^G305^(G5723) and^G2532 descending^G2597^(G5723) upon^G1909 the Son^G5207 of man^G444.
