John 1:9-30

Rotherham(i) 9 It, was––The real light that enlighteneth every man––Coming into the world. 10 In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not. 11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home. 12 But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become,––unto them who were believing on his name: 13 Who––not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but––of God, were born. 14 And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory,––a glory, as an Only–begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
15 (John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying––the same, was he that said––He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.) 16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour. 17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence. 18 No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
19 And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites,––that they might question him––Who art, thou? 20 and he confessed, and did not deny,––and he confessed––I, am not, the Christ; 21 and they questioned him––What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith––I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered––No! 22 So they said unto him––Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us,––What sayest thou, concerning thyself? 23 He said––I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; ––In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet. 24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees; 25 and they questioned him, and said unto him––Why, then, dost thou immerse,––if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet? 26 John answered them, saying––I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; –– 27 after me, coming:––Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal. 28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
29 On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith––See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This, is he, of whom, I, said––After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
