There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a testimony,

John testified of him and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me.

And out of his fulness have we all received, even grace upon grace. For the law was given by Moses,

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

He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt and abode with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

For the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple them that fold oxen,

because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man; for he knew what was in man.

The same came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know, that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, except God be with him.

For no one hath gone up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life.

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

For every one that doth evil, hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God giveth not him the Spirit by measure.

(For his disciples were gone to the city to buy meat.)

Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in this thou saidst truly.

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

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such worshipers.

Say ye not, There are yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and survey the fields, for they are white already to harvest.

And many of the Samaritans out of that city believed on him, for the saying of the woman testifying, He told me all that ever I did.

because of his word, And said to the woman, We no longer believe, because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they also had come to the feast.

When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him, to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

In these lay a great multitude of diseased, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

For an angel went down at certain times into the bath, and the water was troubled: and whosoever went in first, after the troubling of the water, was made whole, whatsoever disease he had.

Then said the Jews to him that was healed, It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.

And he that was healed knew not who he was; for Jesus had retired, a multitude being in the place.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doth: and he will shew him greater works than these, so that ye will marvel.

For as the Father raiseth and quickeneth the dead, so the Son also quickeneth whom he will.

For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given all judgment to the Son:

For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself,

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

He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to fulfil, the very works which I do, testify of me, that the Father hath sent me.

And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, ye believe not.

For I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not:

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

(But this he said, trying him; for he himself knew what he intended to do.)

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

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give you; for him hath God the Father sealed.

For the bread of God is he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

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

If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever, and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate manna, and died: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever.

But there are some of you who believe not. (For Jesus had known from the beginning, who they were that believed not, and who would betray him.)

He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he it was that would betray him, being one of the twelve.

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

For no man doth any thing in secret, but desireth to be publickly known: if thou dost these things, shew thyself to the world.

(For neither did his brethren believe on him.) Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come: your time is always ready.

And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him: for some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay; but he seduceth the people.

However, no man spake openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

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

This he spake of the Spirit, which they who believed on him were to receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus answered and said to them, Tho' I testify of myself, yet my testimony is valid: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye know not whence I came, or whither I go.

Ye judge after the flesh: I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone:

These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. And no man seized him; for his hour was not yet come.

Therefore I said, Ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not, that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that please him.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never inslaved to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free.

And the slave abideth not in the house for ever; but the Son abideth ever.

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham's offspring:

Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for I proceeded forth, and come from God. I am come not of myself, but He hath sent me.

Ye are of your father the devil, and your will is, to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth; for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And there was a division among them. They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, for that he hath opened thine eyes?

He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself. His parents said this, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, That if any man should own him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

And he worshiped him. Jesus said, For judgment am I come into the world, that they who see not, may see, and that they who see, may become blind.

And when he hath led forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

They will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

(As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father) and I lay down my life for the sheep.

for which of those works do ye stone me?

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

Jesus hearing it, said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sake I was not there, that ye may believe:

When Jesus came, he found he had been now four days in the tomb.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall not die for ever.

Having said this, she went and privately called Mary her sister, saying, The master is come, and calleth for thee.

Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith to him, Lord, by this time he stinketh; for he hath been buried four days.

For this man doth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him, and the Romans will come and subvert both our place and nation.

said to them, Ye know nothing, Nor consider, it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

He spake not this of himself, but being high-priest that year, he prophesied, that Jesus should die for the nation:

And not for that nation only, but that he might also gather into one all the children of God that were scattered abroad.

Then sought they for Jesus, and said one to another, What think ye?

faith, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

This he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and bare what was put therein.

Now much people of the Jews knew that he was there, and came not only for the sake of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

rode thereon, as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold thy king cometh, sitting on an asses colt.

For this cause also the multitude went to meet him, because they heard, he had done this miracle.

But for this cause I came, for this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then a voice came from heaven, I have both glorified, and I will glorify it again.

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

We have heard out of the law, that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up?

Who is this Son of man? Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness overtake you, for he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

If any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I am not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

For I have not spoken of myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and how I should speak.

For he knew who would betray him: therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.
