in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:

God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

And they questioned him, 'What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, 'I am not.' -- 'The prophet art thou?' and he answered, 'No.'

and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.

and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

Nathanael saith to him, 'Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Before Philip's calling thee -- thou being under the fig-tree -- I saw thee.'

and he saith to them, 'Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;' and they bare.

And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.'

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

and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'Thou art the teacher of Israel -- and these things thou dost not know!

and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized --

When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, 'How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.

for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'

but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

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?'

and said to the woman -- 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'

and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying -- 'Thy child doth live;'

then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'

And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

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

and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles --

for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things -- manifest thyself to the world;'

and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

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

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

'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'

And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those -- thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'

and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'

These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free?'

'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

Jesus said to them, 'If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine,

according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'

according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

and many came unto him, and said -- 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'

the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say -- Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came to this hour;

now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

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

Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'

for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you?

and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'

Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;
