He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.

But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, - unto them who were believing on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

And this is the testimony John [the Immerser] gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" [Note: Levites were men who assisted the priests in the Temple service].

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

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

He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

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.”

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:

And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

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

And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, - though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom,

After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.

And the passover of the Jews were nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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.

He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

But his words were about that holy building which was his body.

and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like, because he himself knew what was in every person.

This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that [you are] a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him."

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

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

Therefore, when the Lord [Jesus] knew that the Pharisees were aware of Him making and immersing more disciples than John,

(though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

noon if Jewish time were meant].

The woman said to Him, "I do not have a husband." Jesus said to her, "You were right when you said, 'I do not have a husband,'

Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain [i.e., Mt. Gerizim, which was visible from where they were sitting]; but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people should worship [God]."

And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'

They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat;'

So the disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?”

Many from that town came to believe in Jesus--Samaritans though they were--on account of the woman's statement--'He has told me everything that I have done.'

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

And they were saying to the woman, "No longer because of {what you said} do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!"

When the two days were over, he left for Galilee

In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!"

Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

1-2 miles], they saw Jesus walking on the lake and coming near the ship, and they were afraid.

And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

Then the people, seeing the miracle which Jesus did, were saying, that, This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world.

Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.

and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going.

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;

So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they boarded the small boats themselves and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about it, asked them, “Does this cause you to stumble and take offense?

Then what if you were to observe the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

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.

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

Nevertheless, no one would speak openly about him because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.

and the Jews were wondering, saying, 'How hath this one known letters -- not having learned?'

Jesus answered them, "I performed one [miraculous] deed and you were all amazed by it [i.e., the healing of the crippled man on the Sabbath day. See 5:1-9].

placed after 5:47] The Jews were amazed, saying, "How can this uneducated fellow manage to read?"

Some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Isn’t this the man they want to kill?

They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, [will he]?"

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things [under their breath] about Him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent guards to arrest Him.

The Jews [i.e., the authorities] were saying among themselves, "Where will this man go that we will not be able to find him? Will he go where the Jewish people are scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying - This, is, in truth, the prophet.

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

But some were saying, "The Messiah doesn't come from Galilee, does he? Doesn't the Scripture say that the Messiah is from David's family and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"

So the people were divided over him;

And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

So, [when] the Temple guards [See verse 32] returned to the leading priests and Pharisees, they were asked, "Why did you not bring Jesus here?"

They answered him, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search [the Scriptures], and you will see that no prophet will come from Galilee." [Note: They were probably referring to "the prophet" predicted to come by Moses. Deut. 18:15]. {{Most ancient manuscripts do not contain the section from 7:53 through 8:11, or else place it elsewhere in the book.

and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.
