In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.

John was not the Light, but came to testify about the Light.

No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.

He spoke openly and, remaining true to himself, admitted, "I am not the Messiah."

Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.

After this He went down to Capernaum, Himself, and His mother, and brothers, and His disciples; and there they abode not many days.

Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people believed in His name [i.e., in Jesus Himself] when they saw the [miraculous] signs He was doing.

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

This man went to Jesus one night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we [i.e., speaking of himself and other Jewish leaders] know that you are a Teacher sent from God, for no one could perform these [miraculous] signs that you are doing unless God were with Him."

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].

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

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].

He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.

Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal [of approval] to this: God is true [and he knows that God cannot lie].

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

He left Judea and returned to Galilee. (Although it was actually His disciples who did the immersing and not Jesus Himself).

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.

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Many more believed in Him [with a deep, abiding trust] because of His word [His personal message to them];

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

He answered them, “The Man who healed me and gave me back my strength was the One who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

The Father himself does not judge any man, but has 'entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,'

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [because your minds are closed]; but if another comes in his own name and with no authority or power except his own, you will receive him and give your approval to an imposter.

don't imagine that I shall accuse you to my father: even Moses himself in whom you confide, will be your accuser.

For if ye had believed Moses, ye had believed me: for he himself wrote of me.

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

When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father--God himself--has set the seal of his approval."

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father himself, and has learned of him, comes to me;

[But] this is the bread that has come down from heaven [i.e., Jesus is referring to Himself], so that a person who eats of it [i.e., believes in Jesus] will not die [spiritually].

This is the bread that came down from heaven [i.e., Jesus is referring to Himself]. [It is] not like [the bread] our forefathers ate and [then] died. The person who eats this bread will live forever."

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.

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.

thus he delivered his mind, and stay'd himself in Galilee.

But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is of God or whether I speak on My own accord and by My own authority.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, being himself one of them.

Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

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

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

You are doing your father's actions." They told him, "We're not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God himself."

Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths.

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

others said -- 'This is he;' and others -- 'He is like to him;' he himself said, -- 'I am he.'

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself. His parents said this, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, That if any man should own him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself."

Jesus said to him, not only thou hast seen him, but it is he himself that is talking with thee.

"I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet.

But the One [i.e., Jesus is referring to Himself] who enters [it] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep [Note: "Sheep" in this section refers to Jesus' followers].

The person who is [only] a hired hand, and not the shepherd, [and] who does not own the sheep [himself], sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away. So, the wolf attacks the flock and scatters [the sheep].

Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.

[if that is true] then do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and set apart for Himself and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

and troubled himself, And said, Where have ye laid him?

And Jesus himself was weeping.

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor [for he had never cared about them], but because he was a thief; and since he had the money box [serving as treasurer for the twelve disciples], he used to pilfer what was put into it.

Having found a young ass, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of Scripture--

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe [them] dry with the towel {which he had tied around himself}.

Jesus saith unto him - He that hath bathed himself, hath no need save as to the feetto get washed; but is pure, as a whole. And, ye, are, pure, but not ye, all.

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and placed himself again at the table, he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you?

If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send to represent me, will teach you everything Himself, and cause you to remember everything that I have told you.

If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

“But when the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father, He will testify and bear witness about Me.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.

Simon Peter followed along with another disciple. [Note: Some think this refers to the apostle John himself, but there is no strong evidence in favor of that conclusion]. Now that disciple was [well-] known to the head priest, so was able to enter his courtyard with Jesus

And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

Upon his expressing himself thus, one of the officers there present, struck Jesus on the face, saying, answerest thou the high priest so?

And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

Then Pilate entred into the Pretorium, and addressing himself to Jesus, said to him, are not you the king of the Jews?

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.
