Thank You!
First off, I am using:
Online Greek Bible
greekbible.com
Ancient Greek (biblical / classical) material including: Online texts (accented Greek New Testament), Shopping for printed materials, and Resources for learning and studying Ancient Greek.
It guarantees authentic Greek from when these manuscripts were written.
Then it breaks each verse down from the Greek to any language (English)
And then I am verifying the translation to other greek translators.
So, it breaks down like this:

Which is broken down to:

Translation
At the beginning was the word, and the word was to God, and God was the word.
