He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.

John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

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

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?

He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and 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 sought out Nathaniel and said to him, "We have found the One about whom Moses wrote in the law and the One about whom the prophets wrote; it is Jesus, the son of Joseph, who comes from Nazareth."

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.”

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

and needed no testimony from anyone about them, for He well knew what was in human nature.

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

I most solemnly say to you, we know what we are talking about and we have seen what we are testifying to, yet you are all rejecting our testimony.

If you do not believe the earthly things I tell you, how can you believe the heavenly things, if I tell you about them?

Then a discussion came up between John's disciples and a Jew about purification.

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

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

And Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e'en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.

It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water.

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

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

Hearing that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and desired him to come down and cure his son, for he was about to die.

So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one o'clock, 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 answered him, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool. But in the meantime, while I am about to come, another steppeth down before me."

"Stand up," said Jesus, "take up your mat, and walk about."

The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began to walk about.

"The man who cured me," he answered, "said to me 'Take up your mat and walk about.'"

"Who was it," they asked, "that said to you 'Take up your mat and walk about'?"

If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives 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 himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.

But this he said to try him; for he knew 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].

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

And Jesus knowing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, went up to the mountain himself alone.

Then having gone about twenty-five or thirty stadiums [3 or

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 then murmured about Him; because He said, I am the bread that came down from heaven.

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

But Jesus knowing in Himself, that his disciples were murmuring about it, said unto them, Does this offend you?

From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.

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

But he spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to betray him, being one of the twelve.

AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought 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 discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now about the middle 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.

"The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him.

Did not Moses give you a law? And yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?"

The people answered and said, "Thou hast the devil. Who goeth about to kill thee?"

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, "Is not this he whom they go about 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 murmuring these [things] about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order {to take him into custody }.

Then the Jews said one to another, Where is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

So there was a division among the people about Him.

But this mob, which knows nothing about the law, is bound to be accursed!"

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

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, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

They did not see that his words were 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.

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

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 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!

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.

because he is a hired hand and {he is not concerned} about the sheep.
