INTRODUCTION
1 In the beginning was the
WORD, and the WORD was
with God, and God was the
WORD. 2 This was in the
beginning with God. 3 Al
things were made by him: and
without him was made
nothing. That which was
made, 4 in him was life, and
the life was the light of men: 5
and the light shineth in
darkenesse, and the
darkenesse did not
comprehend it. . . . 9 It was the
true light, which lighteneth
every man that commeth into
this world. 10 He was in the
world, and the world was
made by him, and the world
knew him not. 11 He came into
his owne, and his owne
received him not. 12 But as
many as received him, he
gave them power to be made
the sonnes of God, to those
that beleeve in his name. 13
Who, not of bloud, nor of the
wil of flesh, nor of the wil of
man, but of God are borne. 14
AND THE WORD WAS
MADE FLESH, and dwelt in
us (and we saw the glorie of
him, glorie as it were of the
only-begotten of the Father)
ful of grace and veritie.
Rheims New Testament
1 In the beginning was the
Word, & the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the
beginning with God. 3 All
things were made by him, and
without him was not any thing
made that was made. 4 In him
was life, and the life was the
light of men. 5 And the light
shineth in darknesse, and the
darknesse comprehended it
not. . . . 9 That was the true
light, which lighteth every
man that commeth into the
world. 10 Hee was in the world,
and the world was made by
him, and the world knew him
not. 11 Hee came unto his
owne, and his owne received
him not. 12 But as many as
received him, to them gave
hee power to become the
sonnes of God, even to them
that beleeve on his Name: 13
Which were borne, not of
blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God. 14 And the Word
was made flesh, and dwelt
among us (& we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the
onely begotten of the Father)
full of grace and trueth.
King James Bible
1 In the beginning was the
Worde, and the Worde was
with God, and that Worde was
God. 2 The same was in the
beginning with God. 3 All
things were made by it, &
without it was made nothing
that was made. 4 In it was life,
and the life was the light of
men. 5 And the light shineth in
the darkenes, & the darkenes
comprehended it not. . . . 9
That was the true light, which
lighteth everie man that
cometh into the worlde. 10 He
was in the worlde, and the
worlde was made by him: &
the worlde knewe him not. 11
He came unto his owne, and
his owne received him not. 12
But as many as received him,
to them he gave power to be
the sonnes of God, even to
them that beleve in his
Name, 13 Which are borne not
of blood, nor of the wil of the
flesh, nor of the wil of man,
but of God. 14 And that Word
was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we sawe the
glorie thereof, as the glorie of
the onely begotten Sonne of
the Father) full of grace and
trueth.
Geneva Bible
The contentious nature of the seventeenth-century English Church remains today.
Its origins follow monarchs who lead the church in rather unexpected directions: this
Protestant church was founded by a Roman Catholic Defender of the Faith, fought over by
his children who moved it back and forth from Catholicism to Protestantism, and, when
