this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.

John testified [repeatedly] about Him and has cried out [testifying officially for the record, with validity and relevance], “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I and has priority over me, for He existed before me.’”

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

This one is [the one] about whom I said, 'After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

and looking upon Jesus walking about, says, Behold, the Lamb of God.

And Jesus turned about, and saw them follow, and said unto them, "What seek ye?" They said unto him, "Rabbi," which is to say, by interpretation, "Master: where dwellest thou?"

He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote about—Jesus from Nazareth, the son of Joseph [according to public record].”

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, "Look! {A true Israelite} in whom is no deceit!"

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.”

So, Jesus said to her, "[My dear] woman, what do you want me to do [about it]? My time [i.e., to be revealed to people as the Messiah] has not yet come."

And there were six waterpots of stone sitting there according to the purification of the Jews, containing about two or three firkins. Jesus says to them,

upon which he made a whip of small cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with their sheep, and oxen; and threw about the changers money, and over-set the tables; and said to the dove-sellers,

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts—in the very core of their being].

Nicodemus answered, and said unto him - How, can these things, come about?

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.

If I have told you about things that happen on earth and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about things of heaven?

Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified--look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!"

You yourselves testify about me that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.'

The one who has the bride is the groom; but the best man, who stands up with him and listens to him [take his vows], is very happy when he hears him speak. So, [now] my joy is complete [i.e. over hearing about Jesus' ministry].

The one who comes from above is superior to everything. The one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to everything.

He testifies about what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony.

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

[About then] a Samaritan woman came [to the well] to draw water. Jesus said to her, "[Please] give me a drink."

You worship something you know nothing about; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

Just then His disciples came, and they were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. However, no one said, “What are You asking about?” or, “Why are You talking to her?”

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

Then Jesus returned again to Cana, in Galilee, where He had turned water into wine. There was a government official there whose son was sick at Capernaum [Note: Capernaum was about

He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

So he asked them at what time he began to get better. They said, “Yesterday during the seventh hour the fever left him.”

Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticos about it.

When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but [just] when I am about to enter [it] someone else goes down [into the water] before me."

And Jesus says to him, Arise, take thy bed, and walk about.

And the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and continued to walk about. And it was the Sabbath on that day.

He responded to them, the one having made me whole, He said to me, Take thy bed, and walk about.

They asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take thy bed, and walk about?

"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

"You people have sent to John [the Immerser, for information. See 1:19] and he has given true testimony [about me].

But I do not rely on the testimony of men about me; therefore I tell you these things so you will be saved [i.e., from condemning judgment. See verse 29].

"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.

And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me;

For if you believed and relied on [the Scriptures written by] Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me [personally].

and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

Philip answered Him, "Not even two hundred coins' worth of bread would be enough to feed them if everyone ate only a little bit." [Note: The amount here indicated was two hundred days of a farm laborer's pay, or about $14,000 in 1994].

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

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.

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.

Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

Jesus replied, "Do not complain about me to one another.

And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?

After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.

Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, who [else] could we go to? You have the message about never ending life.

And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

And after these [things] Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.

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.

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.

Whoever speaks simply for himself is looking for honor for himself, but whoever looks for honor for the person who has sent him shows his sincerity; there is no dishonesty about him.

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

Some of the people of Jerusalem said [about Jesus], "Is not this person the one they are trying to kill?

And look, he is speaking openly and they are not saying anything to him [about it]. Can it be that the [Jewish] authorities know that he really is the Messiah [i.e., the Christ, God's specially chosen one]?

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 therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

So was there dissension among the people about him.

But this rabble who understand nothing about the Law are accursed!"

Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"

But when they continued asking Him [about the woman], He stood up and said to them, "That person among you who has never sinned should be the first one to throw a stone at her."

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

I am One [of the Two] who testifies about Myself, and My Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

I have many things to say and judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I say to the world [only] the things that I have heard from Him.”

They did not realize [or have the spiritual insight to understand] that He was speaking to them about the Father.

I am telling [you] about what I have seen in my Father's presence; but you [should] do what you have heard from your father."

But now ye go about to kill me, a man that have told you the truth, which I have heard of God: This did not Abraham.

Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, [about] whom you say, 'He is our God.'

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God’s works might be displayed in him.

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

Accordingly they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “[It must be that] He is a prophet!”

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

But how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him--he is old enough- -he will tell you about himself."

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

We know [for certain] that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this Man, we do not know where He is from.”

The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see!

Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what He was talking about.

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

just like the Father knows me [intimately] and I know the Father [that way]. And I [am about to] give up my life for the sheep.
