He was with God in the beginning.
3 Todas las cosas fueron hechas por medio de El, y sin El nada de lo que ha sido hecho, fue hecho.
3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 En El estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de los hombres.
4
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 Y la luz brilla en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no la comprendieron .

6 Vino al mundo un hombre enviado por Dios, cuyo nombre era Juan.
6
There was a man sent from God whose name was John.
7 Este vino como testigo, para testificar de la luz, a fin de que todos creyeran por medio de él.
7

10
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
11 A lo suyo vino, y los suyos no le recibieron.
11
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12 Pero a todos los que le recibieron, les dio el derecho de llegar a ser hijos de Dios, es decir, a los que creen en su nombre,
12
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13 que no nacieron de sangre, ni de la voluntad de la carne, ni de la voluntad del hombre, sino de Dios.
13
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14 Y el Verbo se hizo carne, y habitó entre nosotros, y vimos su gloria, gloria como del unigénito del Padre, lleno de gracia y de verdad.
14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Juan dio<***> testimonio de El y clamó, diciendo: Este era del que yo decía: "El que viene después de mí, es antes de mí, porque era primero que yo."
15
(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”)
16 Pues de su plenitud todos hemos recibido, y gracia sobre gracia.
16
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
17 Porque la ley fue dada por medio de Moisés; la gracia y la verdad fueron hechas realidad por medio de Jesucristo.
17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Nadie ha visto jamás a Dios; el unigénito Dios , que está en el seno del Padre, El le ha dado a conocer.
18
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
19 Este es el testimonio de Juan, cuando los judíos enviaron sacerdotes y levitas de Jerusalén a preguntarle: ¿Quién eres tú?
19
Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.
20 Y él confesó y no negó; confesó: Yo no soy el Cristo.
20
He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 Y le preguntaron: ¿Entonces, qué? ¿Eres Elías? Y él dijo<***>: No soy. ¿Eres el profeta? Y respondió: No.
21
They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Entonces le dijeron: ¿Quién eres?, para que podamos dar respuesta a los que nos enviaron. ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?
22
Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 El dijo: Yo soy LA VOZ DEL QUE CLAMA EN EL DESIERTO: "ENDEREZAD EL CAMINO DEL SEÑOR", como dijo el profeta Isaías.
23
John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ ”
24 Los que habían sido enviados eran de los fariseos.
24
Now the Pharisees who had been sent
25 Y le preguntaron, y le dijeron: Entonces, ¿por qué bautizas, si tú no eres el Cristo, ni Elías, ni el profeta?
25
questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 Juan les respondió, diciendo: Yo bautizo en agua, pero entre vosotros está Uno a quien no conocéis.
26
“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know.
27 El es el que viene después de mí, a quien yo no soy digno de desatar la correa de su sandalia.
27
He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 Estas cosas sucedieron en Betania, al otro lado del Jordán, donde Juan estaba bautizando.
