and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.

and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, 'Who art thou?'

And they questioned him, 'What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, 'I am not.' -- 'The prophet art thou?' and he answered, 'No.'

They said then to him, 'Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'

John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,

And John testified, saying -- 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;

And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, 'What seek ye?' and they said to them, 'Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?'

and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'

Jesus saith to her, 'What -- to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.'

and he saith to them, 'Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;' and they bare.

And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.'

and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

And his disciples remembered that it is written, 'The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

the Jews then answered and said to him, 'What sign dost thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'

The Jews, therefore, said, 'Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'

when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

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

'Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;

Verily, verily, I say to thee -- What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive;

and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,

for John was not yet cast into the prison --

John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;

'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;

'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;

and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 'Give me to drink;'

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

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'

ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;

but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'

And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'

They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat;'

and he said to them, 'I have food to eat that ye have not known.'

The disciples then said one to another, 'Did any one bring him anything to eat?'

do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him -- 'Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;'

then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee.

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'

The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

'And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, 'Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' --

and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?'

And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

Jesus answered them and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

They said therefore to him, 'What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

'And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

and they said, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?'

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

Ye -- go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'

And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- 'The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'

others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?'

did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'
