The Gospel of John Chapter 1 — "In the beginning was the Word" | KJV Bible Reading

The Gospel of John, Chapter 1 — The Word Made Flesh
John 1:1-51 (King James Version)
The most profound opening in all of Scripture. Before creation, before time, before anything existed — the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John the Baptist bears witness to the Light. The first disciples are called. Nathanael's skepticism collapses before divine omniscience. "Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
Sovereign Logos is the only Bible reading platform that uses the Septuagint as its Old Testament base text — the same Greek translation the apostles quoted, written two centuries before Christ.
Every modern English Bible (ESV, NIV, NASB) translates the Old Testament from the Masoretic Text, a Hebrew manuscript tradition finalized centuries after the New Testament was written. The differences are not trivial. Entire passages were shortened. God's name was removed from whole books. The divine council was edited out. We show you exactly where.
Read the Bible the way the early Church read it.
