John [Yah is gracious] 1:2-41

²The same was in the beginning with God.

³All things came to be through him and without him nothing made had being.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Ha D'var ·The Word· became flesh, and tabernacled among us. We saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, such shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· as of the one and only Son of the Abba ·Father·, full of grace and truth.

¹⁵John Yah is gracious 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.’”

¹⁶From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

¹⁷For the Torah ·Teaching· was given through Moses Drawn out; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah Salvation Anointed one.

¹⁸No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, he has declared him.

¹⁹This is John Yah is gracious’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites Descendants of United with from Jerusalem City of peace to ask him, “Who are you?”

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

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

²²They 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?”

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

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

²⁵They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah Anointed one, nor Elijah My God Yah, nor the prophet?”

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

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

²⁸These things were done in Bethany House of affliction beyond the Jordan Descender, where John Yah is gracious was baptizing.

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

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

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

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

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

³⁴I have seen, and have testified that this is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”

³⁵Again, the next day, John Yah is gracious was standing with two of his disciples,

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

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

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

³⁹He said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

⁴⁰One of the two who heard John Yah is gracious, and followed him, was Andrew Manly, Simeon Peter Hearing Rock’s brother.

⁴¹He first found his own brother, Simeon Hearing, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah Anointed one!” (which is, being interpreted, Moshiach ·Anointed one·).
