The Gospel According to Saint John / Evangeliet ifølge Sankt Johannes (The Bible / Bibelen)

1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1:1 I begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.

1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

1:2 Det samme var i begyndelsen hos Gud.

1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

1:3 Alt er blevet til ved ham, og uden ham er intet blevet til, som er blevet til.

1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

1:4 I ham var liv, og livet var menneskenes lys.

1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

1:5 Og lyset skinner i m rket, og m rket overvandt det ikke.

1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

1:6 Der var en mand udsendt fra Gud, hvis navn var Johannes.

1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

1:7 Han kom til et vidnesbyrd for at vidne om Lyset, for at alle mennesker skulle tro ved ham.

1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

1:8 Han var ikke Lyset, men blev sendt for at vidne om Lyset.
