There was a man sent from God, whose name was John:

But as many as received Him, to them granted He the privilege to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name;

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, being full of grace and truth: and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father.

Of Him did John bare witness, and publicly declared, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me.

and though no one hath ever seen God, or can see Him: yet the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, hath made Him known.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?

Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self?

that cometh after me, but is preferred before me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me.

And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.

And I saw it, and therefore testified that this is the Son of God.

and looking upon Jesus as He was walking, he saith, "Behold the lamb of God."

And Jesus turning, and seeing them following Him, saith unto them, What do ye seek? They said unto Him, Rabbi (that is to say, Master,) where is thine abode?

He first meeteth with his own brother Simon, and telleth him, "We have found the Messiah, which is to say, the Christ."

And Andrew brought him to Jesus: and Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas; which is interpreted a stone.

And when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards Him, He saith concerning him, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile."

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my time is not yet come.

and saith unto him, Every man sets out good wine at first, and when they have drank plentifully, then that which is worse; but thou hast keep the good wine till now.

And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him, What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?

Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews:

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

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

As the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not whence it cometh, or whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

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

He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.

He, that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is earthly, and talketh like one of the earth:

but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.

He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true:

And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar,

But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water.

The woman saith unto 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 children, and his cattle?

for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true.

Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews.

But the time is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father requireth such worshippers of Him.

God is a spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit and truth.

Then saith the woman unto Him, I know that the Messiah, that is to say the Christ, is coming; and when He comes, He will tell us all things.

and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ?

Jesus saith unto them, My food is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Do not ye say, it is yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, they are already white for harvest.

for herein the saying is verified, that one soweth, and another reapeth,

in as much as I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labors.

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what thou hast spoken; for we ourselves have heard Him, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

Jesus saith unto him, Go, thy son is well. And the man believed what Jesus said unto him, and went his way.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Thy son is well.

So the father knew that it was in that same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is well. And he and his whole family believed.

This is the second miracle that Jesus wrought, upon coming out of Judea into Galilee.

Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticos about it.

The infirm man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is moved, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.

Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: even so the Son maketh alive whom He pleaseth.

that all men may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father: he, that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent Him.

Verily, verily I say unto you, he, that heareth my word, and believeth in Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death to life.

Verily, verily I tell you, that the time is coming, and even now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.

For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given also to the Son to have life in Himself.

And hath given Him authority also to execute judgement, because He is the Son of man.

Wonder not at this; for the time is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

I can do nothing of my self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father that hath sent me.

If I alone bear witness of my self, my testimony is not true in law:

but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.

How can ye believe, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?

Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

Philip answered Him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

saith unto Him, There is a lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?

And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down; and of the fishes likewise, as much as they would take.

Therefore the people when they had seen the miracle that Jesus wrought, said, this is certainly the Prophet who was to come into the world.

But He saith unto them, It is I: be not afraid.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him, whom He hath sent.

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

For the bread of God is that which descendeth from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

Therefore said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that He hath given me, I should lose none, but should raise them up at the last day.

And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one who looketh attentively at the Son, and so believeth on Him, may have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said to one another, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we knew? How then does He say, I came down from heaven?

It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore that hath heard and learned from the Father, cometh unto me.

Not that any one hath seen the Father, but He who is from God.

but this is the bread which cometh down from heaven,

I am the living bread, which came down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever. And the bread, that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give up for the life of the world.

The Jews therefore cavilled amongst themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink: he that feedeth on my flesh and drinketh my blood,

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that feedeth on me he also shall live by me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat, and yet are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard Him, said, This discourse is hard to be understood, who can take it in?

The spirit is the principle of life, the flesh availeth nothing: now the words that I speak unto you are spirit, and therefore life.

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

For no man doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known to the world.

Then saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you:

Go ye up to this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come.

But when his brethren were gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not in a public manner but as it were in private.

The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
