John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.

Because the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came to be through Jesus Christ.

This is he about whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was before me.

And I had not known him, but that he would be made known to Israel. Because of this I came immersing in water.

Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believe? Thou will see greater than these things.

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

and because he had no need that any man should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled.

Ye worship what ye do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

And many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all, as many things as I did.

And many more believed because of his word.

And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.

And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a Sabbath.

Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the Sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.

Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice,

I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this.

Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me.

And a great multitude followed him because they saw his signs, which he did on those who are infirmed.

Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye seek me not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.

Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do my will, but the will of him who sent me.

The Jews therefore murmured about him because he said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me.

And he said, Because of this I have said to you that no man is able to come to me, if it is not given to him from my Father.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.

Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.

Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.

If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a Sabbath?

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

They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.

But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

So there became a division among the multitude because of him.

But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?

And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his

And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.

He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them.

His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.

Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him.

And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

And they will, no, not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.

But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and it is no care to him about the sheep.

Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I may take it again.

Therefore again there became a division among the Jews because of these words.

Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me?

The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God.

whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, do ye say, Thou blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me.

Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? Because this man does many signs.

Now he said this, not because it was a concern to him about the poor, but because he was a thief, and he had the purse and removed things that were put in.

Therefore a great multitude of the Jews knew that he is there. And they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they might also see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

since because of him many of the Jews were going and were believing in Jesus.

Now his disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these were things written because of him, and they did these things to him.

Also because of this the multitude met him, because they heard of him doing this sign.

Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.

Because of this they could not believe. Because Isaiah said again,

Yet, nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess, so that they would not become excommunicated from the synagogue,

Because I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

For he knew the man betraying him. Because of this he said, Ye are not all clean.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me. But if not, believe me because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, that man will also do. And he will do greater than these, because I go to the Father.

the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it does not see nor know it. But ye know it, because it dwells with you, and will be in you.

Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more, but ye see me. Because I live, ye will also live.

Ye heard that I said to you, I go, and I come to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced because I said I go to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

Now ye are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

I am the grapevine, ye are the branches. He who dwells in me, and I in him, this man bears much fruit, because without me ye can do nothing.

I no longer call you bondmen, because the bondman does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I made known to you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world (instead I chose you out of the world), because of this the world hates you.

But all these things they will do to you because of my name, because they have not known him who sent me.

And ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

And they will do these things, because they have not known the Father nor me.

But I have told you these things, so that when the hour comes, ye may remember that I told you of them. But I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

About sin because they truly did not believe in me,

and about justice because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more,

and about judgment because the ruler of this world has been judged.

He will glorify me because he will receive from me, and will report to you.

All things, as many as the Father has are mine. Because of this I said that he takes from me, and will report to you.

A little while, and ye do not look at me. Again a little while, and ye will see me, because I go to the Father.

Therefore some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says to us, A little while, and ye do not look at me, and, Again a little while, and ye will see me, and, Because I go to the Father?

Therefore Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves about this, because I said, A little while, and ye do not look at me, and, Again a little while, and ye will see me?

When a woman brings forth she has pain because her hour has come. But when she has given birth to the child she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a man was born into the world.

for the Father himself loves you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

Behold, the hour comes, and now has come, that ye will be scattered, each man to his own things, and ye will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Because the sayings that thou gave to me, I gave to them. And they received them, and knew truly that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou sent me.

I pray about them. I do not pray about the world, but about whom thou have given me, because they are for thee.

I have given them thy word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Father, whom thou gave to me, I desire that where I am, they also may be with me, so that they may see my glory that thou have given me, because thou loved me before the foundation of the world.
