And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

(John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?

They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of the Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.

he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;

And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.

And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with the Holy Spirit.

And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold one truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.

And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

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

The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit.

And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,

He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.

For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;

He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled.

He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks as of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,

He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;

He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.

Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.

The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.

Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?

Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.

For in this is verified the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps.

and they said to the woman, It is no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick.

But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought him word saying, Thy child lives.

Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

The Jews therefore said to the healed man, It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

They asked him therefore, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens them, thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,

and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is Son of man.

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

I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he has sent.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.

And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven?

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father himself, and has learned of him, comes to me;

not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, he also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples having heard it said, This word is hard; who can hear it?

It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.

Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.

Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.

But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.

Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but that of him that has sent me.

If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself.

He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.

Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.

Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

But as to this man we know whence he is. Now as to the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
