John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.

And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.

Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?

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

And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?

And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.

Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?

And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted [in Greek], is Petros, a Rock.

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

Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

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

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.

And he said unto them, Draw out now, and carry to the president of the table. So they carried it.

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

The Jews then addressed him, and said to him, What miracle shewest thou, seeing thou actest thus?

Jesus answered and said to them, Pull down this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again.

Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days?

this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him.

John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven.

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him.

And Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e'en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.

Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one who drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:

And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?

Then the woman left her pitcher, and went into the city, and said to the men,

But he said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

Then said his disciples to each other, Hath any person brought him ought to eat?

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.

Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe.

The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead.

Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.

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

He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.

Then Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat down with his disciple.

Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?

And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do.

Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose.

When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world.

So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the sea-side,

The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone;

And when they found him on the other side the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

Jesus replied to them and said, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

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

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.

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

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

Then the Jews murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came down from heaven?

Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it?

Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you?

And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.

Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away?

Then said his disciples to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest.

The Jews then sought for him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people.

Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who is seeking to kill thee?

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have performed one work, and ye all marvel.

Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

But many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater miracles than those which this man doth?

Then said Jesus unto them, A little while longer I am with you, and I am going to him that sent me.

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Grecians, and teach the Greeks?

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from his belly shall rivers flow of living water.

Many then of the multitude, when they heard this declaration, said, This man is certainly a prophet.

Others said, He is the Messiah. But others said, No: for cometh the Messiah out of Galilee?

Doth not the scripture say, That the Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from the town of Bethlehem, whence David originally was?

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisee; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?

They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up.

But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground.

Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.

Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

The Pharisees said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going.

Then said they to him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.

The Jews said therefore, Will he kill himself? because he said, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

And he said to them, Ye are from those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Assuredly the same as I am telling you.

Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.

Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;

They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free?

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.
