The Birth of Our YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC And The TESTIMONY.
YOCHANAN (JHN) 1
1In the beginning was The WORD,
and The WORD was with HA’YHWH,
and The WORD is YHWH.
2HE was with The GREAT RUACH HAKODESH in the beginning.
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 Cannot comprehend HIM.
6There was a man sent from The MOST HIGH – HA’RUACH HA’ELOHIM, whose name was Yochanan The Baptist. 7He came to be a testimony, so as to bear witness concerning The LIGHT; so that through Him, everyone might put his trust in HA’YHWH and be faithful to HIM-The GREAT HA’RUACH HAKODESH. 8Yochanan, The Baptist himself was not that LIGHT. NO, he came to bear witness concerning The LIGHT.
9This was THE TRUE LIGHT,
which gives Light to everyone that enters into The World.
10HE was in The World — The World came to be through HIM;
yet The World did not know HIM.
11HE came to HIS Own Homeland,
yet HIS Own People did not receive HIM.
12. But to as many as did receive HIM, to those who put their trust in HIS NAME, POWER and GLORY; HE gave The Right to become Children of The GREAT YHWH, 13not through bloodline, physical impulse or couple’s intention, but by The GRACE Of The GREAT HA’ RUACH HAKODESH.
14The WORD became MAN and lived amongst men,
and we saw HIS SH’KHINAH-GLORY,
The SH’KHINAH Of The GREAT RUACH HAKODESH, ABBA’S only SON,
full of GRACE And TRUTH.
15Yochanan The Baptist witnessed concerning HIM when he cried out, “This is The MAN I was talking about when I said, ‘The ONE coming after Me is not my equal , because HE existed before me.’”
16We have all received from HIS Fullness,
yes, Grace upon Grace.
17For The Torah (Law) was given through Moshe;
GRACE And TRUTH Came through YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC.
18No one has ever seen Our HASHEM, BLESSED BE HIM; but The Only Begotten SON, WHO Is in The BOSOM Of The HASHEM-, BLESSED BE HIM and is at The GREAT RUACH HAKODESH SIDE — HE has Made HIM, The HASHEM – BLESSED BE HIM,known.
19Here is Yochanan’s The Baptist’s Testimony. When The Yehuda Sect of The Ib’rim People (Hebrew in English) sent The Cohanim (Priests) And L’vi’im (Levites) from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to ask him, “Who are you?” 20He was very straightforward and stated clearly, “I am not The HAMASCHIAC” (The Anointed). 21“Then who are you?” they asked him. “Are you Eliyahu.” “No, I am not,” he said. “Are you ‘The prophet,’ the one we’re expecting?” “No,” he replied. 22. So they said to him, “Who are you? — so that we can give an answer to the people who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?” 23He answered in The WORD Of The GREAT RUACH HAKODESH Via Yesha‘yahu, The Cohanim-prophet, “I am
The voice of someone crying out:
‘In the desert, saying; make the way of HA’RUACH HAKODESH Straight!’”
24Some of those who had been sent were P’rushim(Pharisees -English). 25They asked HIM, “If you are neither The HAMASCHIAC nor Eliyahu nor ‘The Cohanim,’ then why are you immersing/baptizing The People?” 26To Them Yochanan The Immerser replied, “I am immersing people in water, but among you is standing someone whom you do not know. 27HE Is The ONE coming after me — I’m not good enough even to untie HIS SANDAL!” 28All this took place in Beit-Anyah, east of Yarden, where Yochanan The Immerser was immersing.
29The next day, Yochanan The Immerser saw YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC coming toward him and said, “Look there! The lamb of THE GREAT HASHEM, BLESSED BE HIM- THE MOST HIGH ! The ONE WHO Is to take away the sin of The World! 30This is The MAN I was talking about when I said, ‘After me is coming SOMEONE, WHO Is MIGHTIER than i, because HE existed before me.’ 31I myself did not know WHO HE was, but the reason I came immersing with water was so that HE might be made known to Yisra’el.” 32Then Yochanan The Baptist gave THIS TESTIMONY: “I SAW THE GREAT HASHEM IN THE PERSON Of THE GREAT RUACH HAKODESH DESCEND LIKE THE ANGEL OF HIS MERCY ( NOT A DOVE BUT FAR UP THERE, LIKE THE GREAT RUACH HAKODESH’S SON, COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN NOT LIKE A DOVE, BECAUSE I, CAN NEVER BE LIKENED TO A DOVE). AND RESTING ON HIM, YHWH HAMASCHIAC.33I MYSELF DID NOT KNOW WHO HE WAS, BUT THE ONE WHO SENT ME TO IMMERSE IN WATER SAID TO ME, ‘THE ONE ON WHOM YOU SEE THE GREAT HASHEM, BLESSED BE HIM, NOT THE GREAT RUACH HAKODESH ALIGHTING, THIS IS THE ONE WHO WILL BAPTIZE IN THE RUACH KODESH.’34And I have seen and borne witness THAT THIS IS THE SON OF THE GREAT HASHEM, BLESSED BE HIM.”
35The next day, Yochanan The Immerser,was again standing with two of his talmidim. 36On seeing YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC walking by, he said, “Look There!
HA’YHWH’S SACRIFICIAL LAMB!” 37His two talmidim heard him speaking, and they followed YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC. 38 YHWH YESHUA turned and saw them following HIM, and HE asked Them, “What are you looking for?” They said to HIM, “RABBI!” (which means “Teacher!”) “Where are you staying?” 39YHWH YESHUA Answered and said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where HE was staying, and remained with HIM, the rest of the day — it was about four o’clock in the afternoon. 40.One of the two who had heard Yochanan The Baptizer and had followed YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC, was Andrew the brother of Shim‘on Kefa.
41The first thing he did was to find his brother Shim‘on and tell him, “We’ve found HAMASCHIAC -THE ANOINTED!” 42.He took him, Shim’on to YHWH HAMASCHIAC . When YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC Said, “You are Shim‘on Bar-Yochanan (You are Simon, Son of Yochanan; you will be known as Kefa.” (The name means “rock.”).
43The next day, having decided to leave for the Galil (Galilee), YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC found Philip and said, “Follow me!” 44Philip was from Beit-Tzaidah, the town where Andrew and Kefa lived. 45Philip found Natan’el and told him, “We’ve found The ONE that Moshe wrote about in The Torah, also The Prophets — it’s YESHUA BEN-YOSEF from Natzeret!” (Son of Man). 46Natan’el answered him, “Natzeret? Can anything good come from there?” “Come and see,” Philip said to him.47YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC saw Natan’el coming towards HIM and remarked about him, “Here’s a true son of Yisra’el — nothing false in him!” 48Natan’el said to HIM-YHWH, “How do you know me?” YHWH answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”49.Natan’el said, “Rabbi, you are the SON Of THE GREAT HASHEM (THE MOST HIGH), BLESSED BE HIM! You are the KING OF YISREA’EL!” 50YHWH YESHUA HAMASCHIAC answered him, “you believe all this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this!” 51Then HE said to him, “Yes indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven opened and the angels of THE GREAT HASHEM(THE MOST HIGH ), BLESSED BE HIM, going up and coming down on the Son Of Man!”
