John chapter 1.
2
There came a man who was sent from God.
3
His name was John.
4
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
5
He himself was not the light.
6
He came only as a witness to the light, the true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
7
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
8
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
9
Yet, to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
10
Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
11
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
12
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
13
John testifies concerning him.
14
He cries out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me has surpassed me, because he was before me.
15
From the fullness of his grace, we have all received one blessing after another.
16
For the law was given through Moses.
17
Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18
No one has ever seen God, but God, the one and only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19
Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.
20
He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely.
21
I am not the Christ.
22
They asked him, Then who are you?
23
Are you Elijah?
24
He said, I am not.
25
Are you the prophet?
26
He answered, No. Finally they said, Who are you? give us an answer to take back to those who sent us.
27
What do you say about yourself?
28
John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, I am the voice of one calling in the desert.
29
Make straight the way for the Lord.
30
Now some Pharisees who had been sent questioned him.
31
Why then do you baptize if you were not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
32
I baptize with water.
33
John replied, But among you stands one you do not know.
34
He is the one who comes after me the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.
35
This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan where John was baptizing.
36
The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
37
This is the one I meant when I said, A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.
38
I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.
39
Then John gave this testimony.
40
I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove.
41
and remain on him.
42
I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,
43
The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.
44
I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."
45
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
46
When he saw Jesus passing He said, Look, the Lamb of God.
47
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
48
Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, What do you want?
49
They said, Rabbi, which means teacher.
50
Where are you staying?
51
Come, he replied, and you will see.
52
So they went and saw where he was staying and spent that day with him.
53
It was about the tenth hour.
54
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.
55
The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, We have found the Messiah, that is, the Christ.
56
And he brought him to Jesus.
57
Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon, son of John.
58
You will be called Cephas.
59
Which, when translated, is Peter.
60
The next day, Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.
61
Finding Philip, he said to him, Follow me.
62
Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
63
Philip found Nathaniel and told him, We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law and about whom the prophets also wrote,
64
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
65
Nazareth?
66
Can anything good come from there?
67
Nathanael asked.
68
Come and see, said Philip.
69
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, Here is a true Israelite in whom there is nothing false.
70
How do you know me?
71
Nathanael asked.
72
Jesus answered, I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.
73
Then Nathanael declared, Rabbi, you are the Son of God.
74
You are the King of Israel.
75
Jesus said, You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree.
76
You shall see greater things than that.
77
He then added, I tell you the truth.
78
You shall see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
79
Thank you.

  • 「There came a man who was sent from God.」:「There came...」は倒置法で、物語的な雰囲気を出します。日常会話では少ないですが、英語のリズムを感じるのに良い例です。
  • 「He came as a witness to testify concerning that light.」:「concerning」は「about」の代わりに使われ、フォーマルな文体でよく見られます。「testify concerning」のコロケーションを覚えると、語彙力がアップします。
  • 「The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.」:「made his dwelling」は「住んでいた」のような意味ですが、より文学的な表現です。単語の組み合わせを覚えることで、表現の幅が広がります。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
