caused

to exist.
He
is
the

who
created

everything [LIT].
\VS{4}He
is
the

who
{\ADD{
caused

He,
who
caused

{\ADD{
revealed

\par }{\PP \VS{6}A

was
sent
by

\VS{7}He
came
to
tell
people
{\ADD{
about
the

was
like}} [MET]
a

He
came
to
show
that
everything
that
the
{\ADD{
one
who

said
was
true,
in
order
that
he
could
enable
all

to
believe
{\ADD{
in
the

who
was
like
a
light}}.
\VS{8}John
himself
was
not
the
{\ADD{
one
who
was
like
a}}
light [MET].
Instead,
he
came
to
tell
others
about
that
{\ADD{
one
who
was
like
a}}
light.
\VS{9}{\ADD{
While John
was
doing
that}},
the
one
who
was
truly
{\ADD{
like}}
a
light
was
about
to
show
himself
to
the
world.
He
was
the
one
who enables
all
people
{\ADD{
to
know
about
God,
as}}
a
light [MET] enables
{\ADD{
people
to
know

\par }{\PP \VS{10}Although
the
one
{\ADD{

was
{\ADD{
here}}
on
the
earth,
and
although
he
was
the
one
whom
{\ADD{
God}}
caused
to
create
everything,
{\ADD{
most}}
people [MTY, HYP]
did
not

who
he
{\ADD{
was}}. (OR,
although
he
was
the
one
whom

God}}
caused

him.)
\VS{11}Although
he
came
to
the
land
that
belonged
to
him
{\ADD{
because
he
created
it,
most
of}}
his
own
people,
{\ADD{
the

rejected
him (OR,
did
not
accept
him).
\VS{12}But
those
{\ADD{
of

authorized
{\ADD{
that
we
would
have

with}}
him [MET]
{\ADD{

We
were
people
who
believed
{\ADD{
that
what
he
said}}
about
himself [MTY]
{\ADD{
was
true}}.
\VS{13}We
became
{\ADD{
like
God’s
children}},
not
because
our
ancestors
{\ADD{
belonged
to
God}},
or
because
of
someone’s
sexual
desires,
nor
because
some
man
desired
to
have
children
like
himself.
Instead,
we
were
caused
by
God $\{$God
caused

to
become
{\ADD{
like}}
his
children.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}The
one
who expresses [MET] ◄{\ADD{
God’s
character/what
God
is
like}}►
became
a
human
being,
and
he
lived
among
us
{\ADD{
for
a
while}}.
As
a
result,
we
saw
how
wonderful
he
is.
He
came
from
{\ADD{
God}}
his
father,
and
there
was
no
other
person
as
wonderful
as
he.
He
was
wonderful
because
he
always
acted ◄kindly
toward
us/in
ways
we
did
not
deserve►,
and
he
always
{\ADD{
spoke}}
truthfully
to
us
{\ADD{
about
God}}.
\par }{\PP \VS{15}{\ADD{
One
day}}
when
John
was
telling
people
about
him,
{\ADD{
he
saw
Jesus}}.
Then
he
shouted
to
them, “I
told
you
{\ADD{
previously}}
that

will
come
later

is
more
important
than
I
am,

I
was
talking
about}}!”
\VS{16}We
have
all
benefited
very
much
from
what
he
has
done.
Again
and
again,
he
has
acted
in
kind
way
toward
us
in
ways
we
did
not
deserve.
\VS{17}Moses
proclaimed
{\ADD{
God’s}}
laws
{\ADD{
to
our
ancestors}}.
But
what
Jesus
Christ
did
for
us
{\ADD{
was
much
better}}.
He
acted
in
kindness
toward
us
in
ways
we
did
not
deserve
and
told
us
the
truth
{\ADD{
about
God}}.
\VS{18}No
one
has
ever
seen
God.
But
God’s
only
Son,
{\ADD{
Jesus}},
who
has
always
had
a
very
close relationship
with
God,
has
told
us
about
God.
\par }{\SH When religious
authorities
asked John
about
his identity,
he
said
he
was
preparing
people
for
the
coming
of
the
Messiah,
who
was
much
more
important
than
himself.
\par }{\SR John 1:19-28
\par }{\PP \VS{19}The
Jewish
{\ADD{
leaders}} [SYN]
in
Jerusalem
{\ADD{
city}}
sent
some
{\ADD{
Jewish}}
priests
and ◄Levites/men
who
worked
in
the
temple►
to
where
John
was,
to
ask
him
some
questions.
They
said
to
him, “What
do
you
{\ADD{
claim
about}}
yourself?”
\VS{20}So
John
told
them
the
truth,
and
he
told
them
clearly [DOU].
He
said, “{\ADD{
I}}
am
not ◄the
Messiah/God’s
chosen
king►!”
\VS{21}Then
they
asked
him, “Then
what
{\ADD{
do
you
say
about

Are
you
{\ADD{
the

Elijah
{\ADD{
that
was
prophesied
to

{\ADD{

{\ADD{
before

He
replied, “No,
{\ADD{
I}}
am
not.”
Then
they
asked
him, “Are
you
the
prophet
{\ADD{
like
Moses
that}} ◄{\ADD{
we
are
waiting
for/God
promised
to
send}}►?”
He
replied, “No.”
\VS{22}So
they
asked
him, “Then
who
do
you
{\ADD{
claim
to
be}}?
{\ADD{
Tell
us}}
so
that
we
can
{\ADD{
go
back
and}}
report
to
those
who
sent
us.
What
do
you
say
about
yourself?”
\VS{23}John
replied, “{\ADD{
I}}
am
the
one
{\ADD{
the
prophet
Isaiah
said}}
would
proclaim
{\ADD{
this

loudly
{\ADD{

were
ones
who
had
been
sent
by
the
Pharisee
{\ADD{religious
group}} $\{$whom
the
Pharisee
{\ADD{religious
group}}
had
sent$\}$.
\VS{25}They
asked
John, “Since

say}}
you
are
not
the
Messiah,
nor
{\ADD{
the
prophet}}
Elijah,
nor
the
prophet
{\ADD{
like
Moses}},
{\ADD{
what
authority}}
do
you
have?
{\ADD{
Furthermore}},
why
are
you baptizing
{\ADD{
Jews, treating
them
as
though
they
were non-Jews

wanted
to
become
Jews}}?”
\VS{26}John
replied, “I
am
{\ADD{
just}} baptizing
people
with
water
{\ADD{
to
prepare
them
to
welcome
the
Messiah}}.
But
{\ADD{
right
now}}
someone
is
among

do
not
know.
\VS{27}He
{\ADD{
will
preach
to
you}}
after

I

not
worthy
to
{\ADD{
serve
him
as

slave}} [MET]
{\ADD{
by}}
untying
his

things
happened
at

on
the

east}}
side
of

where
John
was baptizing
people.
\par }{\SH John
the Baptizer
announced
that
Jesus
was
the
one
who
would
become
a
sacrifice
to
remove
guilt
for
sin,

God
had
confirmed
that
Jesus
was
the
Son
of
God.
\par }{\SR John 1:29-34
\par }{\PP \VS{29}The
next
day
John
saw
Jesus
coming
toward
him.
He
said
to
the
people, “Look!
Here
is
the
{\ADD{
man
whom}}
God
{\ADD{
has
appointed
to
be
a
sacrifice}} [MET],
{\ADD{
like}}
the
lambs
{\ADD{
that

he
will
{\ADD{
make
it possible
for
everyone
in}}
the

to
be
no
longer
{\ADD{
guilty
for
having}}
sinned.
\VS{30}He
is
the

about

to
enable

Israel

recognize

\par }{\PP \VS{32}John
spoke
clearly
{\ADD{
what
God
had
shown
him
about
Jesus}}.
He
said, “I
saw
{\ADD{
God’s}}
Spirit
as
he
was
descending
from
heaven
in
the
form
of

dove.
The

remained
on

did

{\ADD{

that

{\ADD{
was
the

However,
{\ADD{

sent
me
to baptize
people
with
water,
{\ADD{
people
who
said
they
wanted
to
turn
from
their
sinful
ways.

I
was
doing

God
told
me, ‘The

put

that
he
is ◄the

\par }{\SH After
John
declared
again
that
Jesus
would
be
a
sacrifice
to
remove
guilt
for
sin,
four
men
decided
to
become Jesus’
disciples.

turned
around

he
asked
us/them, “What

you

where
can
you
get

\VS{12}Our

left

this

there

enough

so
that
his

his

drank
from

are
greater
than
Jacob,
{\ADD{

\VS{13}Jesus
replied
to

who
drinks
water
from

become
thirsty
again.
\VS{14}But
those

drink
the

On

the

that

give
them
will
become
in

\VS{15}The

{\ADD{

Our

worshipped
God
here
on
{\ADD{
Gerizim
Mountain}},
but
you
{\ADD{
Jews}}
say
that
Jerusalem
is
the
place
where
we
must
worship
{\ADD{
God.
So
who
is
right}}?”
\VS{21}Jesus
said
to

believe
me
{\ADD{
when
I

that}}
there

be
a

you

{\ADD{

somewhere
else}}.
\VS{22}You
{\ADD{

from
Samaria}}
do
not
know
the
one
you
are
worshipping.
But
we
{\ADD{(exc)
Jews}}
know
whom
we
worship,
because
it
is
from
{\ADD{
us}}
Jews
that
{\ADD{
God
has
sent
the
one
who}}
will
save
people
{\ADD{
from
the
guilt
of
their
sins}}.
\VS{23}However,
there
will
be
a
time
when
those
who genuinely
worship
God
will
worship
him
as
{\ADD{
God’s}}
Spirit
{\ADD{
directs}}
and
according
to
{\ADD{
God’s}}
truth.
In
fact,
that
time
is
now.
Those
are
the
kind
of
worshipers
my
Father
seeks.
\VS{24}God
is
a
spiritual
being.
So
it
is
necessary
that
those
who
worship
him
must
worship
him
as
his
Spirit
{\ADD{
directs}}
and
{\ADD{
according
to
God’s}}
truth.”
\VS{25}The

said
to
him, “I
know
that
the
Messiah
is
coming.
When
he
comes,
he
will
tell
us
everything
{\ADD{
we
need
to
know}}.” (‘Messiah’

{\ADD{

we

He
said
to

put
mud
on

rather
than
that
{\ADD{

\VS{51}He
said
that,
not
because
he
thought
of
it
himself.

since
he
was
the
high
priest
that

he
was
prophesying
that
Jesus
would
die
for
the
whole

he
was
also
prophesying
that
Jesus
would
die,

for

for
all
the

living
in
other
lands
who
{\ADD{
would

to

in

he
would
unite
{\ADD{

traveled
around

Instead,
he
left
{\ADD{
Jerusalem,
along}}
with

and
went
to
a
village
called
Ephraim,
in
an

near

\VS{56-57}The

issued
an

that
if
anyone
found
out
where Jesus
was,
that
person
should
report
it
to
them,
in
order
that
they
could
seize
him.
{\ADD{
So
the
people
thought
that Jesus
would}} probably
{\ADD{
not
dare
to
come
to
the
celebration}}.
But
they
kept
looking
for
him,

as
they
were

they

was

\par }{\PP \VS{4}But
one
of

was
the

enabled Jesus’

\VS{6}He
said
that,

cared
about
the

he
often
stole
some

eating

{\ADD{

he
got
up
from

he
was
eating.
He
took
off
his
{\ADD{

cloak
and
wrapped
a
{\ADD{
long}}
towel
around
his
waist,
{\ADD{
as

\VS{5}Then
he
poured
some

in

dry
them
with

had
wrapped
around

came
to

Peter
said
to

{\ADD{

yourself

\VS{7}Jesus
replied
to
him, “Now

\VS{8}Peter
said, “I

to

you
cannot
continue ◄to

said
to
him, “Lord,
{\ADD{

do
not

my
feet.

my

and
my

{\ADD{
too}}!”
\VS{10}{\ADD{
Then,

was ‘Jesus

\VS{20}Many

were
{\ADD{

in

\VS{21}So
the

went

{\ADD{

\VS{9}Before

from

that

had

alive
again
after

went
back

{\ADD{
In

{\ADD{
returned
to

\VS{11}As
she
stood
outside

crying,
she
stooped
down
to
look
inside

\VS{12}She
saw
two
angels
in
very
white
{\ADD{

sitting
at
the
place
where
Jesus’
body
had
been
laid.
One
was
where
his
head
had
been,
and
the
other
was
where
his
feet
had
been.
\VS{13}They
said
to
her, “Woman,
why
are
you
crying?”
She
said
to
them, “They
have
taken
away
{\ADD{
the
body
of}}
my
Lord,
and
I
do
not
know
where
they
have
put
it!”
\VS{14}After
she
said
that,
she
turned
around
and
saw
Jesus
standing
{\ADD{
there}},
but
she
did
not
know
that
it
was
Jesus.
\VS{15}He
said
to
her, “Woman,
why
are
you
crying?
Who
are
you
looking
for?”
Thinking
that
he
was
the
gardener,
she
said
to
him, “Sir,
if
you
have
taken
his
{\ADD{
body}}
away,
tell
me
where
you
have
put
it.
Then
I
will
get
it
{\ADD{
and
bury
it
properly}}.”
\VS{16}Jesus
said
to
her, “Mary!”
She
turned
toward
him
{\ADD{
again
and
recognized
him}}.
Then
she
exclaimed
in
Aramaic, “Rabboni!”
which
means ‘Teacher’.
\VS{17}Jesus
said
to
her, “Stop clinging
to
me,
because
I
have
not
yet
returned
to
my
Father.
Go
to
my
disciples
and
tell
them, ‘I
am
about
to
return
to
my
Father
and
your
Father,
to
the
one
who
is

\VS{18}So
Mary
went
to
where

were
and
told

that

had
seen

himself
to

when

were
at
Tiberias
Lake,
{\ADD{

is

what
happened:
\VS{2}Simon
Peter,
Thomas
who
was
called $\{$whom

called$\}$
The Twin, Nathaniel
from
Cana
{\ADD{
town}}
in
Galilee,
my
older
brother
and
I,
and
two

were
together.
\VS{3}Simon
Peter
said
to
us, “{\ADD{
I}}
am
going
to
{\ADD{
try
to}}
catch
some
fish.”
We
said, “We
will
go
with
you.”
So
we
went
down
{\ADD{
to
the lake}}
and
got
into
the
boat.
But
that
night
we
caught
nothing.
\VS{4}Early
the
next
morning,
Jesus
stood
on
the
shore,

we
did
not
know
that
it
was
Jesus.
\VS{5}He
called
out
to
us, “My
friends,
you
have
not
{\ADD{
caught}}
any
fish,
have
you?”
We
answered, “You
are
correct,
{\ADD{
we
have
not
caught

\VS{6}He
said
to
us, “Throw
your
net
out
from
the
right-hand
side
of
the
boat!
Then
you
will
find
some!”
We
did
that,

so
many
fish
{\ADD{
in

net}}
that
we
were

pull
the
net
into

I
said
to

is
the
Lord!”

had
taken
off
his
cloak
{\ADD{
while

was
working}},
but
as
soon
as
he
heard
{\ADD{
me
say}} “It
is

he
wrapped

into

{\ADD{

in

full
of

only
about 100
yards/meters.

was
a
fire
of
burning
coals
there,
with
a
{\ADD{

fish
on
the
fire,
and
{\ADD{
some}} buns.

said
to

some
of

have
just
caught!”

Peter
got
in

were 153
of

being
so
many
fish,
the
net
was
not
torn.
\VS{12}Jesus
said
to
us, “Come

some breakfast!”
None

dared
to
ask
him, “Who
are
you?”

knew
that
it
was
the
Lord.
\VS{13}Jesus
took
the buns
and

am
I
really
dear
to
you (OR,

really
love

was
grieved
because
Jesus
asked
him
this
three
times,
{\ADD{

he
changed
the
question}}.
He
said, “Lord,
you
know
everything.

know
that
you
are

to

said, “Give

\VS{18}Now
listen

this
carefully:
When

you
put
