John 1:1-12 in Latin, Marked and Translated
The following is the Latin text of John 1:1-12, as used by the Latin 2B class at Sayers Classical Academy (SCA) in Louisville, KY. The text is not identical to the Vulgate. (I’m not sure where it came from originally; it looks a bit simplified.) I did add the Vulgate for the second half of verse 7, which was not present in the file I received (because students in Latin 2B at SCA do not know subjunctive forms). I’d appreciate comments on the text from other Latin teachers.
