These men had been sent from the Pharisees;

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Nathanael said to Jesus, “How do You know [these things about] me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were still under the fig tree, I saw you.”

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

Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, be cause I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Jesus said to them, "Fill these jars with water."

There in the Temple [area] He found people selling oxen, sheep and pigeons. [i.e., for use as sacrifices]. Also cashiers were sitting there. [Note: These people exchanged foreign coins so visitors to Jerusalem could make purchases and pay taxes].

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

But Jesus would not trust Himself to them [i.e., to the care of these Jewish leaders] because He knew all men,

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

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

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

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

John [the Immerser] was also immersing people in Aenon, near Salem [Note: These locations are thought to have been in northeastern Judea, near the Jordan River], because there was a lot of water there; so people were coming to be immersed.

These disciples went to John and said to him, "Rabbi, look, that man who was with you on the east side of the Jordan River [i.e., Jesus], whom you testified about, is immersing people and everyone is going to him." [Note: Actually, it was Jesus' disciples who did the immersing. See 4:2].

But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.

Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.

And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

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

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

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

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.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

"But I have a testimony greater than John's, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them--the very works which I am doing--[these] testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

Philip responded to Him, The loaves of two hundred denaria are not sufficient for these, that each one may receive a little.

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

Jesus answered, "Have these people recline [on the ground]." Now there was a lot of grass in that place. So, the men, numbering about five thousand, reclined [on the grass].

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly I tell you, it is not because you saw Signs that you are in quest of me, but because you ate these loaves and had your fill.

These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things, said, "This is a difficult saying! Who can understand it?"

From this, many of his disciples went back at these things, and walked no more with him.

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.

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.

When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

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?

"Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

As he spake these words, many believed on him.

Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying - This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, howeverwere saying - How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.

But these Jews [i.e., Pharisees] did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight back until they called his parents

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.

No one takes it away from Me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I am authorized and have power to lay it down and to give it up, and I am authorized and have power to take it back. This command I have received from My Father.”

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

Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.

And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

When Jesus saw her and her Jewish friends, who had come with her, crying, He felt distressed in His spirit and [visibly] troubled [Note: This last word means to shake with emotion, and seems to have been caused by His deep sympathy for these grieving people],

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

Now there were certain Greeks among those going up to Jerusalem to worship [God] at the [Passover] Festival [Note: These people were God-fearing Gentiles like Cornelius. See Acts 10].

By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.

The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words--

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
