Modern Greek (1453-): 
Ἐv ἀρχῇ ἦv ὁ λόγος,
καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν,
καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.
οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν.
πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ
χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν.
ὃ γέγονεν ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν,
καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·
καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει,
καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.
Ἐγένετο ἄνθρωπος,

English: 
In the beginning was the Word,
and the word was with God,
and God was the Word.
He was in the beginning with God.
All through him was coming about, and
without him was coming about nothing.
[That] which was coming about in him Life was.
And the Life was the light of men.
and the light in the darkness shines.
and the darkness it hasn't overcome.
There became a man,

English: 
sent by God,
the name to him John;
he came for witnessing
that he might witness about the Light,
that all [people] might believe through him.
Not was he the light,
but that he might witness about the light.
It was the light, the true [light]
which illumines every man,
coming into the world.
In the world he was,
and the world thru him was coming about,
and the world him didn't know.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἀπεσταλμένος παρὰ θεοῦ,
ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰωάννης·
οὗτος ἦλθεν εἰς μαρτυρίαν
ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός,
ἵνα πάντες πιστεύσωσιν δι’ αὐτοῦ.
οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖνος τὸ φῶς,
ἀλλ’ ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός.
Ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινόν,
ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον,
ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἦν,
καὶ ὁ κόσμος δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο,
καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτὸν οὐκ ἔγνω.
