He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of be coming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name;

who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.

John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not.

And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.

And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.

When the governor of the feast had tasted the water that had been made wine, (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants that had drawn the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him:

Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they have drunk freely, then that which is inferior; but you have kept the good wino till now.

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,

The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit.

And no man has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.

that whoever believes on him may not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.

He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

But he that does the truth, comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are done in God.

You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

(though not Jesus himself, but his disciples immersed,)

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up in order to eternal life.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him.

Then the woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and said to the men:

But he said to them: I have food to eat of which you know not.

The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.

Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.

And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk.

Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

But he that had been restored to health knew not who he was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, because a multitude was in the place.

But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work.

For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.

Then Jesus answered and said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever things he does, these also the Son does in like manner.

For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son;

Verily, verily I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

But I receive not testimony from man; yet I say these things that you may be saved.

But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was about to do.

There is a lad here that has five barley loaves, and two little fishes; but what are these among so many?

But Jesus said: Make die men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, in number about five thousand.

But he said to them: It is I; be not afraid.

The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, seeing that no other boat had been there but the one which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone;

(but there came other boats from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks;)

Jesus answered them, and said: Verily, verily I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied.

Labor not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to life eternal, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father at tested.

Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

But I said to you, that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.

For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all that he gives me, I shall lose nothing, but shall raise it up at the last day.

Not that any one has seen the Father, but he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them: Does this offend you?

But there are some among you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.

Then Jesus said to them: My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.

The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

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

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: No; but he deceives the multitude.

Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

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

Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

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

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, as he was teaching, and said: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you know not.

But I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me.

But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe on him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Others said: This is the Christ. But others said: Does the Christ come out of Galilee?

And some of them desired to take him; but no one laid hands on him.

But this multitude that know not the law are cursed.

But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

Now Moses, in his law, commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what say you?

This they said to tempt him, that they might bring an accusation against him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

But as they continued to ask him, he stood up, and said to them: Let him among you who is without sin, first throw a stone at her.

But having heard him, and being convicted by their conscience, they went out, one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

And when Jesus stood up, and saw no one but the woman, he said to her: Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Jesus answered and said to them: Though I testify concerning myself, my testimony is worthy of credit; for I know whence I came, and whither I go. But you know not whence I came, and whither I go.

And yet if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

I have many things to say, and to judge with respect to you; but he that sent me is true; and what things I have heard from him, these I speak to the world.

Then said Jesus to them: When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.

The servant continues not in the house forever; but the Son continues forever.

But now you seek to kill me, a man that has spoken to you the truth, which I have heard from God; this Abraham did not.

Jesus said to them: If God were your father, you would love me; for I came forth from God and have come hither; nor, indeed, did I come of myself, but he sent me.

But because I speak the truth, you believe me not.

Jesus answered: I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

And yet you have not known him. But I know him; and if I should say that I do not know him, I should be like yourselves, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.

Then they took up stones to throw at him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them; and so passed by.

Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

Some said: It is he. Others: He is like him. But he said: I am he.

Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself.

His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; but we are the disciples of Moses.

We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears.

Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
