There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world.

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

It was of him that I spoke when I said 'After me there is coming a man who is now before me, for he was ever First.'

Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.

and he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”

[Then] on the next day He [i.e., Jesus, but some think it refers to Peter or Andrew] decided to travel into Galilee, [and there] He found Philip. Jesus said to Philip, "Become my follower."

And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold one truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.

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

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage was exhausted. Then the mother of Jesus says to Him, There is no wine.

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

And in the temple [enclosure] He found the people who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables.

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

No one has gone up into heaven, but there is One who came down from heaven, the Son of Man [Himself—whose home is in heaven].

Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

John replied, “A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing at all] unless it has been granted to him from heaven [for there is no other source than the sovereign will of God].

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

So, the woman left her water jar and went back into town and told the people [there],

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.

So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

And he abode there two days. And many more believed,

After the two days He went on from there into Galilee.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps down ahead of me."

But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

but I know there is no love to God in you;

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

So, [when] Jesus knew that the people were about to come and forcibly take Him and make Him [their] king, He left there again and went to the high plateau [to be] alone [i.e., to pray. See Mark 6:46].

There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and there they died.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, because he didn't want to travel in Judea, since the Jewish leaders there were trying to kill him.

So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do.

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

He who speaks on his own accord seeks glory and honor for himself. But He who seeks the glory and the honor of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness or deception in Him.

"There was one thing I did," replied Jesus, "at which you are all still wondering.

yet there he is talking publickly without any opposition: are not the rulers convinc'd that he is the Messiah?

Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come.

What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come?

In the last day, the most solemn day of the feast, Jesus being there, raised his voice, and said, if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

Now, this, spake he concerning the Spirit which they who believed on him were about to receive; for, not yet, was there Spirit, because, Jesus, not yet, was glorified!

So there was a division among the people because of him.

At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

then Jesus raising himself, and seeing none but the woman there, he said to her, woman, where are your accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true and My decision is right; for I am not alone [in making it], but I and the Father who sent Me [make the same judgment].

a slave has no right to be in the house for life: but the son is settled there.

I know that you are descended from Abraham, yet you want to kill me, because there is no room in your hearts for my teaching.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"

We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work.

Then the neighbors, who had seen the man begging previously, said, "Is not this the man who [used to] sit there and beg?"

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? --for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied.

The man answered and said to them: Why, there is some thing wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.

Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

And there was the festival of inauguration among the Jerusalemites, and it was winter..

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

And many believed on him there.
