and the Light shineth in darkness, but the darkness did not receive it.

he was not that Light, but was sent to testify of that light.

he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

but to as many as received him, and believed on him, he granted the privilege of being the sons of God.

a birth which they had not from circumcision, nor from the constitution of the body, nor the institution of man, but from God.

the law indeed was delivered by Moses, but grace and truth was the dispensation of Jesus Christ.

he own'd it, and did not deny it; but made this protestation, I am not the Christ.

John answered them, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not; he it is who coming after me,

I knew him not: but therefore am I come baptizing with water, that he might be manifest to Israel.

I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit."

but Nathanael said to him, can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? come and see, said Philip.

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

and said to him, 'tis usual to present the best wine first, and afterwards the worse, when the guests have drank pretty freely: but you have reserved the best wine to the last.

After this he went down to Capernaum, in company with his mother, his brethren, and his disciples: but they stay'd there only a few days.

but by the temple he meant his body.

but Jesus did not trust his person with them, because he knew them all.

the cleansing of the body is only external, but the purification of the spirit is spiritual.

the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes, or whither it goes: such is the change in every one that is renewed by the spirit.

I declare unto thee, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

for no man hath penetrated into the secrets of heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, who is in heaven.

but as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up:

that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in 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 believeth on him, shall not be condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the only begotten son of God.

but he that doth right, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, because they are agreeable to the will of God.

but John made them this answer, a man can have no authority, but what he derives from heaven.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

but I must decline. he that cometh from above, is above all: he that is from the earth, is earthly, and his language is likewise earthly: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

and what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; but his testimony doth no man receive.

for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction.

he that believeth on the son, hath a right to everlasting life: and he that disobeys the son, shall not enjoy life; but be expos'd to divine wrath.

(though Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples) he left Judea,

but being obliged to pass through Samaria,

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst: for the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a fountain springing up to everlasting life.

but the time is coming, nay, is very nigh, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth: for they are the worshippers which he requires.

but he answered them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of:

but Jesus said to him, except you see signs and miracles, you will not believe.

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

But Jesus answered them, my father works without intermission, and so do I.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

besides, the father judgeth no man; but hath committed the full power of judging unto the son:

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Of my self I can do nothing: according to my instructions I judge: and my judgment is just; because I do not consult my own will, but the will of the father who hath sent me.

not that I need the testimony of men: but this I tell you, for your own security.

but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me.

but if you don't believe what he has writ, how should you believe what I say?

there is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

but Jesus said, make the men sit down. and as there was much grass in the place, they sat down to the number of about five thousand.

but Jesus perceiving they designed to come and take him by force to make him a king, retired again upon a mountain all alone.

but the sea ran high, by reason of the wind that blew hard.

but he said to them, it is I, be not afraid.

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however,

Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled.

work not for the food which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, and which the son of man shall give unto you, for to him it is that the father, that is God, has given his credentials.

but said they, what miracle then will you let us see to make us believe you? what strange work will you perform?

Jesus answer'd, I assure you, Moses did not give you the celestial bread; but my father gives you the true celestial bread.

but I have already told you, that tho' you have seen me, 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 the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this,

but this is the bread which came down from heaven, that he who eats thereof should not die.

but Jesus answer'd, I assure you, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye will have no life in you.

this is that bread which came down from heaven: very different from that manna, which your fathers did eat but died nevertheless: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever.

but there are some of you who do not believe. (for Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who should betray him.)

but Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.

but Jesus said to them, my time is not yet come: but any time is equally proper for you.

the world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I plainly show, that their works are evil.

but when his brethren were gone, he went likewise to the feast, not openly, but in secret.

and the people were much divided about him: for some said, he is a good man: others said, not at all; but he seduces the people.

but about the middle of the feast, Jesus went publickly into the temple, and taught.

Jesus answered them, the doctrine I deliver is not my own, but his that sent me.

he that speaks from himself, has a view to his own glory: but he that has a view to his glory that sent him, deserves credit, and is a stranger to all imposture.

Moses enjoin'd you circumcision (or rather not Moses, but the patriarchs) accordingly you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day.

judge not according to appearances, but judge according to equity.

however, we know from what quarter this man comes: but when Christ comes it will be unknown whence he came.

Jesus then pursuing his discourse in the temple, rais'd his voice, and said, you know both who I am, and whence I am: however, I am not come of my self, but he that sent me is worthy of belief, him you are unacquainted with.

but I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

then they design'd to seize him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me.

ye shall seek me, but shall not find me: and where I shall go, thither ye cannot come.

(but this he meant of the spirit, which they that believed on him, should receive: for the spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

some said, this is the Messias. but said others, shall the Messias come out of Galilee?

and some of them had a mind to seize him; but nobody laid hands on him.

but the populace, who are ignorant of the law, are such wretches.

but early in the morning he return'd to the temple, where all the people came to him; and being sat down, he instructed them.

now Moses has ordain'd in the law, that such criminals should be stoned: but what is your opinion?

they said this only to ensnare him, that they might have some accusation against him. but Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

but they who heard that, being convicted by their own conscience, they all went old and young one after another, so that Jesus was left alone with the woman, who still kept her place.

then Jesus raising himself, and seeing none but the woman there, he said to her, woman, where are your accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Jesus then having reassumed his discourse, said to them, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Jesus answered them, though I give testimony of my self, yet my testimony is valid: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but you do not know whence I came, nor whither I go.

and yet if I did judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with the father who has sent me.

I indeed do bear testimony of my self, but the father, who has sent me, beareth witness of me likewise.

I have many things to say against you: but I only say He that sent me is worthy of belief; and what I have heard of Him, that only I publish to the world.

but they did not perceive that he meant the father.

Jesus said therefore to them, when ye have lift up the son of man, then shall ye know what I am, and that I do nothing of my self, but speak as my father hath instructed me.

a slave has no right to be in the house for life: but the son is settled there.

I know you are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my doctrine doth not penetrate into you.
