There appeared a man named John, sent from God.

John answered them, "I am baptizing only in water. There is standing among you One with whom you are not acquainted.

This is the One about whom I said, 'After me there is coming a man who has already been put before me, because He existed before me.'

Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.

Now in accordance with the custom of purification practiced by the Jews, six stone water jars were standing there, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

After this Jesus went home to Capernaum, with His mother and brothers and disciples, and stayed there for a few days.

Now there was a man named Nicodemus, who belonged to the party of the Pharisees and was a leader among the Jews.

After this, Jesus and His disciples went into Judea, and for some time He stayed there with them and kept baptizing people.

But John too was baptizing people at Aenon, near Salim, for there was plenty of water there, and so the people were coming and being baptized.

and Jacob's spring was there. So Jesus, tired from His journey, was sitting by the spring just as He was. It was about noon.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they kept on urging Him to stay with them; so He did stay there two days.

After the two days were over, Jesus left there and went on to Galilee,

So He came back to Cana in Galilee where He had turned the water into wine. Now there was at Capernaum an officer of the king's court whose son was sick.

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

Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-gate there is a pool called in Hebrew Bethzatha, which has five porticoes,

and in these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people, blind, crippled, paralyzed.

And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

Jesus saw him lying there, and when He found out that he had been in that condition for a long time, He asked him, "Do you want to get well?"

The man who had been cured did not know who He was, for since there was a crowd at the place, Jesus had slipped away.

There is someone else who testifies to me, and I know that the testimony which He gives to me is of force.

And so Jesus went up on the hill and was sitting there with His disciples.

"There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what are they among so many?"

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot; so the men, about five thousand, threw themselves down.

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there was only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away by themselves.

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into boats themselves and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

But there are some of you who do not trust in me." For Jesus knew from the start who they were that did not trust in Him, and who it was that was going to betray Him.

And there was a great deal of grumbling about Him among the crowds, some saying that He was a good man, and others that He was not, but was misleading the masses.

Whoever utters merely his own ideas is seeking his own honor, but whoever seeks the honor of him who sent him is sincere, and there is no dishonesty in him.

Even if I should judge, my decision is fair, because I am not alone, but there are two of us, I and the Father who has sent me.

I know that you are Abraham's descendants, and yet you are trying to kill me, because there is no room in you for my teaching.

You sprang from the devil, your real father, and you want to practice your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the very start, and he does not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks out of his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

However, I am not seeking honor for myself; there is One who is seeking it for me, and He is judge.

Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a sinful man perform such wonder- works?" So there was a difference of opinion among them.

The man answered them, "Well, there is something strange about this! You do not know where He comes from! And yet He has made my eyes to see!

He again crossed the Jordan at the place where John at first used to baptize, and there He stayed.

The disciples said to Him, "Teacher, the Jews just now were trying to stone you, and are you going back there again?"

He said this, and after that He added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

and I am glad for your sake that I was not there so that you may come to have real faith in me. But let us go to him."

When Jesus reached there, He found that Lazarus had been buried for four days.

So the Jews who were with her in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw Mary jump up and go out, followed her, because they supposed that she was going to the grave to pour out her grief there.

It was for this reason that Jesus no more appeared in public among the Jews, but He left that part of the country and went to the district near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with His disciples.

So they gave a dinner there in honor of Jesus, and Martha was waiting on them, but Lazarus was one of the guests with Jesus.

A goodly number of the Jews learned that He was at Bethany, and so they came there, not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

There were some Greeks among those who were coming up to worship at the feast,

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; if there were not, I would have told you, for I am going away to make ready a place for you.

So now, Father, glorify me up there in your presence just as you did before the world existed.

On saying these things He went out with His disciples across the Ravine of Cedars to a place where there was a garden, and He went into it with His disciples.

Now Judas, too, who betrayed Him, knew the spot, because Jesus had often met with His disciples there.

So Judas got together the Roman garrison and some attendants from the high priests and Pharisees, and went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about noon. Then Pilate said to the Jews, "There is your king!"

There they crucified Him, with two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.

So Jesus, on seeing His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, "There is your son."

Then He said to His disciple, "There is your mother." And from that very hour His disciple took her to his own home.

A bowl full of sour wine was sitting there. So they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a stick and put it to His lips.

There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

So, because it was the Jewish Preparation day and because the tomb was near by, they laid Him there.

and saw seated there two angels in white robes, one at the head, one at the feet, where Jesus' body had lain.

On saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Now there are many other wonder-works which Jesus performed in the disciples' presence which are not recorded in this book.

So Simon Peter got into the boat, and pulled the net ashore, full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

There are many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were all written down in detail, I do not suppose that the world itself could hold the books that would have to be written.
