John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.

And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.

They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?

He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.

and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.

This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.

And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.

And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Be hold the Lamb of God.

And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them:

What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher,) where abidest thou?

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;)

and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).

The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, be cause I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

And the wine having failed, the mother of Jesus said to him: They have no wine.

Jesus said to her: Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour has not yet come.

His mother said to the servants: Whatever he says to you, do.

Jesus said to them: Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.

And he said to them: Draw out now, and carry it to the governor of the feast. And they carried it.

When the governor of the feast had tasted the water that had been made wine, (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants that had drawn the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him:

and said to those who sold doves: Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

Then answered the Jews and said to him: What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?

Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days.

Then the Jews said to him: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rebuild it in three days?

"When, therefore, he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had spoken.

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born?

Wonder not that I said to you, you must all be born again,

Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be?

Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?

And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.

John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it be given to him from heaven.

You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. And Jesus said to her: Give me to drink.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

The woman said to him: Sir, you have ho vessel with which you can draw, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?

Jesus answered and said to her: "Whoever drinks of this water, will thirst again;

The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come hither.

The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You have well said. I have no husband;

The woman said to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

The woman said to him: I know that Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming; when he comes, he will tell us all things.

Jesus said to her: I who speak to you am he.

And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

Then the woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and said to the men:

But he said to them: I have food to eat of which you know not.

Then the disciples said one to another: Has any one brought him food?

Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

and they said to the woman: We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is in truth the Savior of the world, the Christ.

Then said Jesus to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.

The courtier said to him: Sir, come down before my child die.

Jesus said to him: Go, your child lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and departed.

And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives.

Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was restored to health. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

Then his father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself, and all his house, believed.

When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been already a long time in that condition, he said to him: Do you wish to be restored to health?

Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk.

Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you.

For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.

Then Jesus answered and said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever things he does, these also the Son does in like manner.

Then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?

But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was about to do.

One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:

But Jesus said: Make die men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, in number about five thousand.

And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the broken pieces which remain, that nothing be lost.

Then the men, after having seen the sign which Jesus did, said: This is, in truth, the prophet that was to come into the world.

But he said to them: It is I; be not afraid.

And finding him on the opposite side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when didst thou come hither?

Jesus answered them, and said: Verily, verily I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied.

Then they said to him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?

Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.

Therefore, they said to him: "What sign do you show, then, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?

Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

Then they said to him: Lord, evermore give us this bread.

Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger; he that believes on me shall never thirst.

But I said to you, that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.

Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said, I am like bread that came down from heaven.

And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How, then, does he say, I came down from heaven?

Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among your selves;

Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

Therefore, many of his disciples, when they heard him, said: This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them: Does this offend you?

And he said: For this reason I said to you: No one can come to me unless it be given him from my Father.

Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?

Then his brothers said to him: Depart hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples may see your works which you do;

Then Jesus said to them: My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.

These things said he to them, and remained in Galilee.
