this man came for witness, that he might testify concerning the light, that through him all might believe.

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 of his fulness have we all received, even grace for grace.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ:

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

For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,

for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.

who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even 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 might 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 by Him.

For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least 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 the Spirit to Him not by measure.

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

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

And when He was come into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.

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.

In these lay a great number of people that were infirm, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under.

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.

but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.

And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for whatsoever He doth, these also the Son doth in like manner.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things, which He Himself doth: and He will shew Him greater than these, that ye may wonder.

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

For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgement to the Son;

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

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

He was indeed a burning and shining light, and for a while ye willingly rejoiced in his light.

But I have a testimony greater than John's: for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the very works which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

Ye search the scriptures; for ye think that in them ye have eternal life:

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote concerning me:

(and this He said to try him, for He knew what He was going to do:)

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

Labour not so much for the meat that perisheth, but rather for that food which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.

For the bread of God is that which descendeth 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.

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.

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

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.

But there are some of you that believe not: (for Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that believed not, and who would betray Him:

Now He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was about to betray Him, though he was one of the twelve apostles.

After these things Jesus resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

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.

For neither did his brethren believe in Him.

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.

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

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man; others said, No: He deceiveth the people.

No one however spake openly in favor 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 that believe on Him should receive; for the holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I go.

though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that sent me.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one laid hands on Him, for his hour was not yet come.

Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, ye shall die in your sins.

And He that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.

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

They answered Him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye shall be made free?

If therefore the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.

Ye are of your father the devil, and are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.

but how it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can speak for himself.

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.

Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.

but as for this man, we know not whence He is.

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

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

Even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

For this doth the Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I may take it again.

But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,

Many good works have I shewn you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself God.

But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble; for he seeth the light of this world:

and I am glad for your sakes, I was not there, that ye may believe: but let us go to him.

And when Jesus came, He found that he had been four days in the grave.

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee.

For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him.

Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he is offensive; for it is the fourth day.

Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh many miracles.

nor do ye consider, that it is better for us that one man should die for the people, than that the whole nation should perish.

This however he spake not of himself, but being high-priest at that time he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation:

and not for the Jewish nation only, but that he might also gather together the children of God that are dispersed.

So they sought for Jesus, and said to one another in the temple, What think ye? that He will not come to the feast?

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

He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.

Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.

For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always.

as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on an ass's colt."
