[Now] the true Light, who enlightens all mankind, was [indeed] coming into the world [i.e., to earth].

[As] Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward Him, He said [this] about him, "Look, [there is] a true Israelite, a completely honest man!"

But the time will come, and is now [actually] here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [i.e., from the heart] and truth [i.e., according to God's revealed will], for these are the people whom the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

So, the saying is true that one person plants and another harvests [the crop].

If I testify about myself, my testimony is not [considered] true.

[But] there is Someone else [i.e., God] who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony He gives about me is true.

"You people have sent to John [the Immerser, for information. See 1:19] and he has given true testimony [about me].

As Jesus was teaching in the Temple, He spoke out, and said, "You people [think you] know who I am and where I come from. I have not come on my own authority, but God, who sent me, is true and you do not know Him.

The Pharisees then said to Him, "[Since] you are giving testimony about yourself, your testimony is not true."

Jesus replied to them, "Even if I do give testimony about myself, it is [still] true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you people do not know where I came from or where I am going.

And even if I do pass judgment, my judgment is true because I am not alone, for the Father who sent me is with me.

Even in your law it is written [Deut. 19:15] that the testimony of two people is true.

Many people came to Him and were saying, "It is true that John did not perform any [miraculous] signs, but everything he said about this man was true."

And this is never ending life; that people may know you [as] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One whom you have sent.

And the person who saw this happen is giving a true testimony about it. He knows it is true [and is giving it] so that you will believe [it, also].

This is the disciple who is giving testimony about these things and has written them down, and we know his testimony is true.
