This came for testimony, that he might testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through him.

He was not that Light, but that he might testify for the Light.

John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me.

And of his completion we all received, and grace for grace.

For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth were by Jesus Christ.

Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we might give answer to them having sent us. What sayest thou for thyself?

This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who was before me: for he was before me.

And I knew him not: but that he might be manifested to Israel, for this I came immersing in water.

And Jesus himself trusted not himself to them, for he knew all,

For also he had no need that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man.

He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God: for none can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life.

For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him.

And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil.

For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked.

And John was also immersing in AEnon near Salim, for many waters were there: and they came near and were immersed.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

He having the bride is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy for the bridegroom's voice: therefore this my joy has been completed.

For he whom God sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure.

And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.

(For his disciples were gone into the city that they might buy food.)

Then says the Samaritan woman to him, How thou, being a Jew, askest of me to drink, being a Samaritan woman? for the Jews have no intercourse with the Samaritans.

The woman says to him, Lord, thou hest no vessel for drawing, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou the living water?

For thou hadst five husbands; and now he whom thou hast is not thy husband: this thou saidst true.

Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such worshipping him.

Say ye not, That there is yet the fourth month, and harvest comes? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the countries; for they are already white for harvest.

For in this the word is true, That one is sowing, and another reaping.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him for the woman's word testifying, That he told me all which I ever did.

And they said to the woman, That we no more believe for thy speaking: for we ourselves have heard and know, that this is truly Christ, the Saviour of the world.

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

When therefore he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all which he did in Jerusalem in the festival: for they also came to the festival.

He, having heard that Jesus was come from Judea to Galilee, went away to him, and asked him that he would go down and heal his son: for he was about to die.

For a messenger at a time went down into the pool, and troubled the water: then he having first stepped in after the troubling of the water became healthy, by whatever malady a long while since he was laid.

Then said the Jews to him healed, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to take up thy couch.

And he healed knew not who he is: for Jesus escaped, a crowd being in the place.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, for not only did he loose the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can of himself do nothing, except what he sees the Father doing: for whatever he should do, also these does the Son likewise.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all which himself does: and he will show him greater than these, that ye might wonder.

For as the Father arouses the dead, and makes alive; so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son:

For as the Father has life in himself, so also gave he to the Son to have life in himself;

Wonder not at this: for the hour comes, in which all they in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall go forth;

I can do nothing of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father having sent me.

He was a burning and manifest light: and ye wished to rejoice for a time in his light.

And I have greater testimony than of John: for the works that the Father gave me that I might finish them, the same works that I do, testify of me, that the Father has sent me.

And his word ye have not remaining in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

Search the writings; for ye think in them to have eternal life: and these are they testifying of me.

For if ye had believed Moses, ye had believed me: for he himself wrote of me.

And a great crowd followed him, for they saw his signs which he did upon the sick.

And this he said trying him: for himself knew what he was about to do.

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

Work not for food perishing, but food remaining to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you: for him God the Father sealed.

for the bread of God is he coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world.

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

I am the living bread which having come down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and also the bread which I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.

For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink.

And Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmur for this, said to them, Does this offend you?

But there are some of you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they are not believing, and who he is going to deliver him up.

And he spake of Judas Iscariot, of Simon: for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

And Jesus walked after these in Galilee: for he wished not to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

For none does any thing in secret, and seeks himself to be in freedom of speech. If thou do these, make thyself manifest to the world.

For neither believed his brethren in him.

The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil.

Go ye up to this festival: I go not yet up to the festival; for my time has not yet been completed.

And much murmuring was for him in the crowds: some truly said, That he is good: and others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.

However none spake of him with freedom of speech, for fear of the Jews.

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

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

Then sought they to seize him: and none put the hand upon him, for his hour had not yet come.

(This spake he of the Spirit which they believing in him were about to receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet; for Jesus was not yet honoured.)

They answered and said to him, And art thou not of Galilee? Search, and see: for a prophet has not risen out of Galilee.

Jesus answered and said to them. Though I testify of myself; my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and where I retire; but ye know not whence I came and where I retire.

And if I also judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father having sent me.

These words spake Jesus in the royal treasury, teaching in the temple: and no one seized him; for his hour had not yet come.

Then said the Jews, Will he not kill himself? for he says, Where I retire, ye cannot come.

I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

And he having sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always things pleasing to him.

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

They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never served any; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?

If the Son make you free, ye shall be truly free.

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

Ye do the works of your father. Then said they to him, We have not been born of fornication; for we have one Father, God.

Then said Jesus to them, If God were your Father, ye had loved me: for I went forth from God, and came; for I have not come of myself, but he sent me.

Wherefore ye know not my speech, for ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the eager desires of your father will ye do. He was slaying men from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he would speak a lie, he speaks of his own things; for he is a liar, and the father of him.

He being of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear not, for ye are not of God.

Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man do such signs? And a division was among them.

They say to the blind again, What sayest thou of him, for he opened thine eyes? He said, That he is a prophet.

But how he now sees, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: he has age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

These said his parents, for they feared the Jews: for already had the Jews agreed, that if any should acknowledge him Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

The man answered and said to them, For in this is it wonderful, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes.

And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they not seeing might see; and they seeing might be blind.

And when he would put forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger they would not follow, but they will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers.

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

The hired flees, because he is hired, and no care is to him for the sheep.

As the Father knows me, I also know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Then was a division again among the Jews for these words.

But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
