The Word became Flesh

The Eternal Word incarnate in BEN ELOHIM

1:1 בְּרֵאשִׁית הָיָה הַדָּבָר וְהַדָּבָר הָיָה אֵת הָאֱלֹהִים וֵאלֹהִים הָיָה הַדָּבָר׃

Bereshit hayah hadavar vehadavar hayah et ha'Elohim vElohim hayah hadavar.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim (אלהים), and the Word was Elohim (אֱלֹהִים; θεός ).

1:2 הוּא הָיָה בְרֵאשִׁית אֵת הָאֱלֹהִים׃

Hu hayah vereshit et ha'Elohim.

The same was in the beginning with Elohim (אלהים).

The Preincarnate work

(Kolosae 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:2)

1:3 הַכֹּל נִהְיָה עַל־יָדוֹ וּמִבַּלְעָדָיו לֹא נִהְיָה כָּל־אֲשֶׁר נִהְיָה׃

Hakkol nihyah al-yado umibbal'adav lo nihyah kol-'asher nihyah.

Every thing was by His hand; and without Him, was not any thing whatever that existed.

1:4 בּוֹ הָיוּ חַיִּים וְהַחַיִּים הָיוּ אוֹר לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם׃

Bo hayu chayim vehachayim hayu or livnei ha'adam.

In Him was life ; and the life was the light of man.

1:5 וְהָאוֹר הֵאִיר בַּחשֶׁךְ וְהַחשֶׁךְ לֹא הִשִּׂיגוֹ׃

Veha'or he'ir bachoshech vehachoshech lo hissigo.

And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehended it.

1:6 וַיְהִי אִישׁ שָׁלוּחַ מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים וּשְׁמוֹ יוֹחָנָן׃

Vayhi ish shaluach me'et ha'Elohim ushemo Yochanan.

There was a man sent from Elohim (אלהים), whose name was Yochanan (יוֹחָנָן).

1:7  הוּא בָא לְעֵדוּת לְהָעִיד עַל־הָאוֹר לְמַעַן יַאֲמִינוּ כֻלָּם עַל־יָדוֹ׃

Hu va le'edut leha'id al-ha'or lema'an ya'aminu chullam al-yado

This one came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him.

1:8 הוּא לֹא־הָיָה הָאוֹר כִּי אִם־לְהָעִיד עַל־הָאוֹר׃

Hu lo-hayah ha'or ki im-leha'id al-ha'or.

He was not himself the light, but came to bear witness concerning the light.

1:9  הָאוֹר הָאֲמִתִּי הַמֵּאִיר לְכָל־אָדָם אֲשֶׁר בָא אֶל־הָעוֹלָם׃

Ha'or ha'amitti hame'ir lechol-'adam asher va el-ha'olam.

He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world.

1:10 בָּעוֹלָם הָיָה וְעַל־יָדוֹ נִהְיָה הָעוֹלָם וְהָעוֹלָם לֹא יְדָעוֹ׃

Ba'olam hayah ve'al-yado nihyah ha'olam veha'olam lo yeda'o.

He was in the world; and the world was by His hand; and the world did not know Him.

1:11 הוּא בָא בְּשֶׁלּוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר־הֵמָּה לוֹ לֹא קִבְּלֻהוּ׃

Hu va beshello va'asher-hemah lo lo kibbeluhu.

He came to His own, and His own did not received Him.

1:12  וְהַמְקַבְּלִים אֹתוֹ הַמַּאֲמִינִים בִּשְׁמוֹ נָתַן־עֹז לָמוֹ לִהְיוֹת בָּנִים לֵאלֹהִים׃

Vehamkabelim oto hama'aminim bishmo natan-'oz lamo lihyot banim lElohim.

But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become sons of Elohim,

1:13  אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִדָּם וְלֹא מֵחֵפֶץ הַבָּשָׂר אַף לֹא־מֵחֵפֶץ גֶּבֶר נוֹלָדוּ כִּי אִם־מֵאֱלֹהִים׃

Asher lo middam velo mechefetz habbasar af lo-mechefetz gever noladu ki im-me'elohim.

Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Elohim (אלהים).

1:14 וְהַדָּבָר נִהְיָה בָשָׂר וַיִּשְׁכֹּן בְּתוֹכֵנוּ וַנֶּחֱזֶה כְבוֹדוֹ כִּכְבוֹד בֵּן יָחִיד לְאָבִיו רַב־חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת׃

Vehadavar nihyah vasar vayishkon betochenu vanechezeh chevodo kichvod Ben yachid le'Aviv rav-chesed ve'emet

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

1:15 Yochanan testified concerning Him and has cried out saying:

This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me: for He was before me.' "

1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and Chesed (grace) upon Chesed.

1:17 כִּי הַתּוֹרָה נִתְּנָה בְּיַד־משֶׁה וְהַחֶסֶד וְהָאֱמֶת בָּאוּ עַל־יְדֵי יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ׃

Ki haTorah nitenah beyad-Mosheh vehachesed veha'emet ba'u al-yedei Yeshua haMashiach.

For the Torah was given by Mosheh, but grace and truth came by Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) Mashiach.

1:18 אֵת הָאֱלֹהִים לֹא־רָאָה אִישׁ מֵעוֹלָם הַבֵּן הַיָּחִיד אֲשֶׁר בְּחֵיק הָאָב הוּא הוֹדִיעַ׃

Et ha'elohim lo-ra'ah ish me'olam habben hayachid asher becheik ha'av hu hodia 

No one has seen Elohim at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

The Eidut Yochanan the Immerser:

1:19 Now this is the testimony of Yochanan, when the Yehudim sent Kohenim and Leviim from Yerushalayim to ask him "Who are you?"

1:20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Mashiach.

1:21And they asked him: What then? Are you Eliyahu?"

And he said: I am not.

Are you ha Navi?

And he answered: No.

1:22

Then said they to him:

Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?

1:23 He said:

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of the YHVH (יהוה), just as YeshaYahu haNavi said."

1:24 Now those who had been sent were from the Perushim.

1:25 And they asked him, saying:

"Why then do you immerse if you are not the Mashiach, nor Eliyahu, nor ha Navi?

1:26

Yochanan answered them, saying:

I immerse with Mayim: but there stands ONE among you, whom you do not know;

1:27

Hu HaBah (He is the One who comes)  after me, of whom  I am not worthy even to untie the strap of His sandal.

1:28 These things were done in *Beit AnYah on other side of the Yarden, where Yochanan was immersing.

1:29 The next day Yochanan sees Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) coming to him, and said:

Hinnei  Seh Elohim (אלהים), which takes away the sin of the Olam Hazeh.

1:30 This is HE of whom I said, After me comes a Man which is preferred before me: for He was before Me.

1:31 And I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Yisrael, therefore am I come immersing with Mayim.

1:32 And Yochanan testified, saying:

I have beheld the Ruach descend from heaven like a dove, and He remained on Him.

1:34 And I have seen, and testified that this is BEN Elohim (אלהים).

In Search of Talmidim

1:35 Again the next day after Yochanan stood, and two of his Talmidim;

1:36 And looking upon Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) as He walked,

He said:

Hinnei seh Elohim (אלהים)!

1:37 And the two Talmidim heard Him speak, and they followed Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע).

1:38 Then Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) turned, and saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek?

They said to him:

Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher,) where are You staying?

1:39

He said to them:

"Come and see!"

They came and saw where He was staying and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour)

1:40 One of the two which heard Yochanan [speak], and followed Him, was Andreas, Shimon Kefa's brother.

1:41 He first finds his own brother Shimon, and said to him, We have found the Mashiach, which is, being interpreted, the Mashiach.

1:42 And he brought him to Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע). And when Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) looked at him,

He said:

"You are Shimon Bar Yonah: You shall be call Kefa, (which is by interpretation, A rock).

Yeshua (יהושע) calls Philip and Natan'el

1:43 The day following Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) would go forth into Galil, and finds Philippos, and said to him, Follow Me.

1:44 Now Philippos was of Beit Zata, the city of Andreas and Kefa.

1:45

Philippos finds Natan'el, and said to him:

We have found him, of whom Mosheh in the Torah, and the Neviim, did write, Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) Natzeret, Ben Yosef.

1:46

And Natan'el said to him:

Can there any good thing come out of Natzeret?

Philippos said to him:

Come and see.

1:47 Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) saw Natan'el coming to him, and said of him, Hinnei an Yisraelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

1:48 Natan'el said to Him:

How do You know me?

Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) answered and said to him:

Before that Philippos called you, when You were under the fig tree, I saw you.

1:49

Natan'el answered and said to Him:

"Rabbi, You are BEN Elohim (אלהים); You are haMelekh Yisrael!"

1:50

Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) answered and said to him,

Because I said to you, "I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe?" You shall see greater things than these."

1:51

And Yeshua (יֵשׁוּע) said to him:

Amen, amen, I say to you,

Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the Malakim  Elohim (אלהים) ascending and descending upon BEN ha ADAM.
