This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.

That one was not the light, but [came] in order that he could testify about the light.

John testified about him and cried out, saying, "This one was [he about] whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because 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, so that we can 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.'

he gazed at Jesus as he walked about, and said, "Look, there is the lamb of God!"

then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, said, what do you seek? they answered him, rabbi, that is to say master, where do you dwell?

come, said he, and see. so they went and saw where he lodged, 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 said to him, "We have found [the one] whom Moses wrote [about] in the law, and the prophets wrote [about]--Jesus son of Joseph 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.”

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 stone waterpots, placed according to the custom of purifying among the Jews, containing each about two or three firkins.

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 because he did not {need} anyone {to testify} about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

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

Truly, truly I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify [about] what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony!

If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

Now there happen'd to be a dispute about baptism between a Jews, and some of John's disciples:

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.

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being 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 about then Jesus' disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], "What are you looking for?" 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

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "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."

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 the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, 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].

but Jesus said, make the men sit down. and as there was much grass in the place, they sat down to the number of 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, seeing Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, they were frightned.

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.

Now the Jews began to grumble 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, [because he] knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

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.

(Now he was speaking about Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot, because this one--one of the twelve--was going to betray him.)

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 the people were much divided about him: for some said, he is a good man: others said, not at all; but he seduces the people.

However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

but about the middle of the feast, Jesus went publickly 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 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 }.

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?

Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

so that the people were divided in their opinions 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 many things to say and to judge about you, but the One who sent Me is true, and what I have heard from Him—these things I tell the world.”

They did not know 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?

“If I glorify Myself,” Jesus answered, “My glory is nothing. My Father—you say about Him, ‘He is our God’—He is the One who glorifies Me.

“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 asked the blind man, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?”

“He’s a prophet,” he said.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

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 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.

This happens because he is a hired man and doesn’t care 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.
