Notas sobre este texto (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).

WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Εν αρχή ήτο ο Λόγος, και ο Λόγος ήτο παρά τω Θεώ, και Θεός ήτο ο Λόγος.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ούτος ήτο εν αρχή παρά τω Θεώ.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Πάντα δι' αυτού έγειναν, και χωρίς αυτού δεν έγεινεν ουδέ εν, το οποίον έγεινεν.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
4 Εν αυτώ ήτο ζωή, και η ζωή ήτο το φως των ανθρώπων.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Και το φως εν τη σκοτία φέγγει και η σκοτία δεν κατέλαβεν αυτό.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
6 Υπήρξεν άνθρωπος απεσταλμένος παρά Θεού, ονομαζόμενος Ιωάννης·
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 ούτος ήλθεν εις μαρτυρίαν, διά να μαρτυρήση περί του φωτός, διά να πιστεύσωσι πάντες δι' αυτού.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Δεν ήτο εκείνος το φως, αλλά διά να μαρτυρήση περί του φωτός.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Ήτο το φως το αληθινόν, το οποίον φωτίζει πάντα άνθρωπον ερχόμενον εις τον κόσμον.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Ήτο εν τω κόσμω, και ο κόσμος έγεινε δι' αυτού, και ο κόσμος δεν εγνώρισεν αυτόν.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
11 Εις τα ίδια ήλθε, και οι ίδιοι δεν εδέχθησαν αυτόν.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
12 Όσοι δε εδέχθησαν αυτόν, εις αυτούς έδωκεν εξουσίαν να γείνωσι τέκνα Θεού, εις τους πιστεύοντας εις το όνομα αυτού·
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:
13 οίτινες ουχί εξ αιμάτων ουδέ εκ θελήματος σαρκός ουδέ εκ θελήματος ανδρός, αλλ' εκ Θεού εγεννήθησαν.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Και ο Λόγος έγεινε σαρξ και κατώκησε μεταξύ ημών, και είδομεν την δόξαν αυτού, δόξαν ως μονογενούς παρά του Πατρός, πλήρης χάριτος και αληθείας.
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.
15 Ο Ιωάννης μαρτυρεί περί αυτού και εφώναξε, λέγων· Ούτος ήτο περί ου είπον, Ο οπίσω μου ερχόμενος είναι ανώτερος μου, διότι ήτο πρότερός μου.
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.’”
16 Και πάντες ημείς ελάβομεν εκ του πληρώματος αυτού και χάριν αντί χάριτος·
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17 διότι και ο νόμος εδόθη διά του Μωϋσέως· η δε χάρις και αλήθεια έγεινε διά Ιησού Χριστού.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
18◆ Ουδείς είδε ποτέ τον Θεόν· ο μονογενής Υιός, ο ων εις τον κόλπον του Πατρός, εκείνος εφανέρωσεν αυτόν.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
19 Και αύτη είναι η μαρτυρία του Ιωάννου, ότε απέστειλαν οι Ιουδαίοι εξ Ιεροσολύμων ιερείς και Λευΐτας διά να ερωτήσωσιν αυτόν· Συ τις είσαι;
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Και ώμολόγησε και δεν ηρνήθη· και ώμολόγησεν ότι δεν είμαι εγώ ο Χριστός.
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Και ηρώτησαν αυτόν· Τι λοιπόν; Ηλίας είσαι συ; και λέγει, δεν είμαι. Ο προφήτης είσαι συ; και απεκρίθη, Ουχί.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Είπον λοιπόν προς αυτόν· Τις είσαι; διά να δώσωμεν απόκρισιν εις τους αποστείλαντας ημάς· τι λέγεις περί σεαυτού;
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?”
23 Απεκρίθη· Εγώ είμαι φωνή βοώντος εν τη ερήμω, ευθύνατε την οδόν του Κυρίου, καθώς είπεν Ησαΐας ο προφήτης.
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.”
24 Οι δε απεσταλμένοι ήσαν εκ των Φαρισαίων·
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 και ηρώτησαν αυτόν και είπον προς αυτόν· Διά τι λοιπόν βαπτίζεις, εάν συ δεν είσαι ο Χριστός ούτε ο Ηλίας ούτε ο προφήτης;
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
26 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιωάννης λέγων· Εγώ βαπτίζω εν ύδατι· εν μέσω δε υμών ίσταται εκείνος, τον οποίον σεις δεν γνωρίζετε·
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
27 αυτός είναι ο οπίσω μου ερχόμενος, όστις είναι ανώτερός μου, του οποίου εγώ δεν είμαι άξιος να λύσω το λωρίον του υποδήματος αυτού.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
28 Ταύτα έγειναν εν Βηθαβαρά πέραν του Ιορδάνου, όπου ήτο ο Ιωάννης βαπτίζων.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Τη επαύριον βλέπει ο Ιωάννης τον Ιησούν ερχόμενον προς αυτόν και λέγει· Ιδού, ο Αμνός του Θεού ο αίρων την αμαρτίαν του κόσμου.
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!
30 Ούτος είναι περί ου εγώ είπον· Οπίσω μου έρχεται ανήρ, όστις είναι ανώτερός μου, διότι ήτο πρότερός μου.
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
31 Και εγώ δεν εγνώριζον αυτόν, αλλά διά να φανερωθή εις τον Ισραήλ, διά τούτο ήλθον εγώ βαπτίζων εν τω ύδατι.
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
32 Και εμαρτύρησεν ο Ιωάννης, λέγων ότι Είδον το Πνεύμα καταβαίνον ως περιστεράν εξ ουρανού και έμεινεν επ' αυτόν.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 Και εγώ δεν εγνώριζον αυτόν· αλλ' ο πέμψας με διά να βαπτίζω εν ύδατι εκείνος μοι είπεν· εις όντινα ίδης το Πνεύμα καταβαίνον και μένον επ' αυτόν, ούτος είναι ο βαπτίζων εν Πνεύματι Αγίω.
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.’
34 Και εγώ είδον και εμαρτύρησα, ότι ούτος είναι ο Υιός του Θεού.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Τη επαύριον πάλιν ίστατο ο Ιωάννης και δύο εκ των μαθητών αυτού,
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 και εμβλέψας εις τον Ιησούν περιπατούντα, λέγει· Ιδού, ο Αμνός του Θεού.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
37 Και ήκουσαν αυτόν οι δύο μαθηταί λαλούντα και ηκολούθησαν τον Ιησούν.
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Στραφείς δε ο Ιησούς και ιδών αυτούς ακολουθούντας, λέγει προς αυτούς· Τι ζητείτε; Οι δε είπον προς αυτόν, Ραββί, το οποίον ερμηνευόμενον λέγεται, Διδάσκαλε, που μένεις;
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?”
39 Λέγει προς αυτούς· Έλθετε και ίδετε, ήλθον και είδον που μένει, και έμειναν παρ' αυτώ την ημέραν εκείνην· η δε ώρα ήτο ως δεκάτη.
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.
40 Ήτο Ανδρέας ο αδελφός του Σίμωνος Πέτρου εις εκ των δύο, οίτινες ήκουσαν περί αυτού παρά του Ιωάννου και ηκολούθησαν αυτόν.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Ούτος πρώτος ευρίσκει τον εαυτού αδελφόν Σίμωνα και λέγει προς αυτόν· Ευρήκαμεν τον Μεσσίαν, το οποίον μεθερμηνευόμενον είναι ο Χριστός.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 Και έφερεν αυτόν προς τον Ιησούν. Εμβλέψας δε εις αυτόν ο Ιησούς είπε· Συ είσαι Σίμων, ο υιός του Ιωνά· συ θέλεις ονομασθή Κηφάς, το οποίον ερμηνεύεται Πέτρος.
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).
43 Τη επαύριον ηθέλησεν ο Ιησούς να εξέλθη εις την Γαλιλαίαν· και ευρίσκει τον Φίλιππον και λέγει προς αυτόν· Ακολούθει μοι.
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Ήτο δε ο Φίλιππος από Βηθσαϊδά, εκ της πόλεως Ανδρέου και Πέτρου.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Ευρίσκει Φίλιππος τον Ναθαναήλ και λέγει προς αυτόν· Εκείνον τον οποίον έγραψεν ο Μωϋσής εν τω νόμω και οι προφήται ευρήκαμεν, Ιησούν τον υιόν του Ιωσήφ τον από Ναζαρέτ.
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.”
46 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Ναθαναήλ· Εκ Ναζαρέτ δύναται να προέλθη τι αγαθόν; Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Φίλιππος, Έρχου και ίδε.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Είδεν ο Ιησούς τον Ναθαναήλ ερχόμενον προς αυτόν και λέγει περί αυτού· Ιδού, αληθώς Ισραηλίτης, εις τον οποίον δόλος δεν υπάρχει.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
48 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ναθαναήλ· Πόθεν με γινώσκεις; Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτόν· Πριν ο Φίλιππος σε φωνάξη, όντα υποκάτω της συκής, είδόν σε.
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.”
49 Απεκρίθη ο Ναθαναήλ και λέγει προς αυτόν· Ραββί, συ είσαι ο Υιός του Θεού, συ είσαι ο βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
50 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτόν· Επειδή σοι είπον· είδόν σε υποκάτω της συκής, πιστεύεις; μεγαλήτερα τούτων θέλεις ιδεί.
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!”
51 Και λέγει προς αυτόν· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω· από του νυν θέλετε ιδεί τον ουρανόν ανεωγμένον και τους αγγέλους του Θεού αναβαίνοντας και καταβαίνοντας επί τον Υιόν του ανθρώπου.
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.”

¿Por qué mi Biblia dice algo distinto?
- Juan 1:18: ¿«el unigénito Hijo» o «el unigénito Dios»?
El Texto Patriarcal, la Reina-Valera y la mayoría de los manuscritos dicen «el unigénito Hijo, que está en el seno del Padre». Los papiros más antiguos y los grandes códices dicen «el unigénito Dios». Ambas lecturas vienen de los primeros siglos, y ambas confiesan al mismo Cristo. Ninguna de ellas favorece una visión inferior del Hijo.
Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
The section of the Gospel which has been read, most dearly beloved brethren, looketh for the pure eye of the heart. For from John's Gospel we have understood our Lord Jesus Christ according to His Divinity for the creating of the whole creation, and according to His Humanity for the recovery of the creature fallen.

It is fitting, brethren, that as far as possible we should treat of the text of Holy Scripture, and especially of the Holy Gospel, without omitting any portion, that both we ourselves may derive nourishment according to our capacity, and may minister to you from that source from which we have been nourished.

Were John about to converse with us, and to say to us words of his own, we needs must describe his family, his country, and his education. But since it is not he, but God by him, that speaks to mankind, it seems to me superfluous and distracting to enquire into these matters.

And he expresses himself thus: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; the same was in the beginning with God." Having first of all distinguished these three--God, the Beginning, and the Word --he again unites them, that he may exhibit the production of each of them, that is, of the …
