This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'

"Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.

Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."

As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification,

Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.

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

For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

"Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.

Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.

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 find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.

But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,

After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking an opportunity to kill Him.

Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: he is imposing on the people."

Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him.

If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me.

The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent some officers to apprehend Him.

The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

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

"You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."

"Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me."

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.

Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true."

But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.

Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.

The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.

Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.

Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, "Is this what you are questioning one another about--my saying, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me'?

"All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.

Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.

So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.

"Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.

It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!"

Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night--came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about seventy or eighty pounds.

But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they were not far from land--only about a hundred yards off)

On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
