One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, "We have found the Anointed One!" (which is translated "Messiah").

Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas (which is translated Peter).”

[Then] on the next day He [i.e., Jesus, but some think it refers to Peter or Andrew] decided to travel into Galilee, [and there] He found Philip. Jesus said to Philip, "Become my follower."

Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, be cause I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Jesus performed this, the first of His wonder-works, at Cana in Galilee. By it He showed His glorious power, and so His disciples believed in Him.

Then the Jews said, "This temple has been under construction forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?"

Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people, because they saw the wonder-works which He was performing, trusted in Him as the Christ.

He came to Jesus one night and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that you have come from God, for no one can perform the wonder-works that you are doing, unless God is with him."

Jesus said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, a person cannot see the kingdom of God [i.e., enter it. See verse 5], unless he is born from above [Note: The words "from above" are also used in verse 31, but in this place they could also mean "again," or "anew" and refer to the source of a person's second birth].

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority.

He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

I sent you [disciples] to harvest [a crop] that you did not work on; other people have done the work and you have reaped the results of their work." [Note: This is probably an allusion to the preliminary work of preaching done by John, the Immerser, with results occurring under the preaching of the apostles].

This is the second wonder-work that Jesus performed after He had come back from Judea to Galilee.

and under these a large number of sick people were lying blind, lame, or paralyzed waiting for the movement of the water.

For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.

But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

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."

For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the person who hears My word [the one who heeds My message], and believes and trusts in Him who sent Me, has (possesses now) eternal life [that is, eternal life actually begins—the believer is transformed], and does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed [over] from death into life.

Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

And a vast crowd continued to follow Him, for they pressed on to view the wonder-works which He performed for the sick people.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

When the people, therefore, saw the wonder-works that He performed, they began to say, "This is surely the prophet who was to come into the world."

and the sea was getting up under a strong wind.

when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

Jesus answered them, "I most solemnly say to you, you are looking for me, not because of the wonder-works you saw, but because you ate the loaves and had plenty.

So they asked Him, "What wonder-work then are you going to perform for us to see and so believe in you? What work are you going to do?

The crowd answered, "You are certainly under the power of a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"

Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

But many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, He will not perform greater wonder-works than He did, will He?"

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things [under their breath] about Him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent guards to arrest Him.

But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.

Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, and you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins.”

They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right when we say You are a Samaritan and [that You] have a demon [and are under its power]?”

Jesus answered: "I am not under the power of a demon; on the other hand, I am honoring my Father, but you are dishonoring me.

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon [and are under its power]. Abraham died, and also the prophets; yet You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never, ever taste of death.’

Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a sinful man perform such wonder- works?" So there was a difference of opinion among them.

The man answered and said to them, "Why, in this is the wonder, that ye do not know whence He is, and He opened my eyes.

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place [on the stone wall], that one is a thief and a robber.

So, Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep [i.e., to enter the corral].

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

the hireling flies, because he is an hireling, and is under no concern for the sheep.

I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring those also, and they will listen to My voice and pay attention to My call, and they will become one flock with one Shepherd.

Many of them said, "He is under the power of a demon and is going crazy. Why are you listening to Him?"

Others said, "These are not the words of a man who is under the power of a demon. A demon cannot make the eyes of the blind see, can he?"

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.

And many people came to Him and kept on saying, "John did not perform any wonder-works, but everything he ever said about this man was true."

So the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and began to say, "What are we to do? For this man is certainly performing many wonder-works.

This is why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this wonder-work.

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

Although He had performed so many wonder-works right before their eyes, they did not believe in Him,

So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet as well.

of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.

I did come from the Father and enter the world. Now I am leaving the world again and going back to the Father."

Having said these things, Jesus left with His disciples and went across the ravine of the Kidron. There was a garden there, which He and His disciples entered.

Then the band, and the chiliarch, and under-officers of the Jews together seized Jesus and bound Him.

Simon Peter followed along with another disciple. [Note: Some think this refers to the apostle John himself, but there is no strong evidence in favor of that conclusion]. Now that disciple was [well-] known to the head priest, so was able to enter his courtyard with Jesus

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

Then when the chief priests and under-officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in him.

"But we," replied the Jews, "have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God."

Stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings [neatly] lying there; but he did not go in.

Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped and looked in,

Now there are many other wonder-works which Jesus performed in the disciples' presence which are not recorded in this book.

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his outer garment, for he had on nothing but his under one, and threw himself into the lake.
