He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.

To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

a birth which they had not from circumcision, nor from the constitution of the body, nor the institution of man, but from God.

The Logos became incarnate, and had his tabernacle among us, being full of grace and truth; and we contemplated his glory, such glory as the Monogenes derived from the father.

For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].

And they had been sent from the Pharisees.

I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

Nathaniel replied to him, "Can anything worthwhile come from Nazareth?" [Note: Nazareth had a bad reputation and Jewish writings made no prediction of a prophet coming from that area. See John 7:52]. Philip answered him, "Come and see."

Jesus answered, "You believe because I told you I had seen you under that fig tree? You shall see more than that."

and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

Now, according to the Jewish custom of purifying, six water-pots of stone had been set there, containing each two or three baths.

And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added: "Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the Feast." The servants did so.

And when the president of the table had tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it came: (but the waiters knew, who drew the water;) the president of the table called the bridegroom,

And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.

And when he had made a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also, and the oxen, and he poured out the money of the money-changers, and overthrew their tables;

His disciples remembered that it had been written, "Zeal for Thy house will eat Me up,"

Now he had spoken with reference to the temple of his own body.

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

(For John had not yet been put in prison.)

AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John

And He had to go through Samaria.

Now he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

For His disciples had gone into the town to buy some food.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."

At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”

Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?

I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

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

When therefore he was come into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things which he did at the feast: for they also had gone to the feast.

Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

Hearing that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and desired him to come down and cure his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home.

So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's.

For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.

And there was a certain man there who had been sick thirty-eight years.

Jesus seeing him lying, and knowing that he had now been sick a long time, said to him, Do you wish to become well?

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

And the sick man knew not who it was; for Jesus had gone away, a multitude being in that place.

Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and said to him, "Look, you have been made well; stop sinning or else something worse [i.e., than the handicap you had] will happen to you."

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well;

and on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.

and they will come out [i.e., in the general resurrection on the last day]. Those who had done what was good will be raised [from the dead] to [never ending] life; and those who had done what was evil will be raised [from the dead] to judgment [i.e., to be condemned].

nor had his word dwelling within you, because you do not believe him whom he sent.

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

and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.

But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.

This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

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.

And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted.

Then they collected, and filled twelve traveling-baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over to those who had eaten.

Then the men, seeing what a miracle Jesus had performed, said, This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world.

And when evening had come, his disciples went down to the sea,

and entering into the ship were crossing the lake to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was blowing.

When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid.

They were willing, therefore, to receive him into the boat; and, straightway, the boat was at land, whither they had been slowly going.

ON the next day, the multitude standing on the other side of the lake seeing that there was no other boat there except one, and that Jesus entered not into the ship with his disciples but his disciples had gone away alone,??23 but other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord gave thanks,??24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went into the ships and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

(but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)

after the Lord had given thanks) When they saw, that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also went aboard the vessels, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

So the Jews, [who were assembled in the synagogue. See verse 59] began complaining about Jesus because He had said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; Who can abide the hearing of it?"

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

For even his brothers had no belief in him.

And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.

But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, "How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?"

Then Moses gave you the rite of circumcision -- not that it had its origin with Moses but with your earlier forefathers -- and you circumcise a male child even on the Sabbath.

Then they sought to take him by force; but no man laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?”

Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

At dawn, however, he came back to the Temple, where the people came to him in crowds. He had taken his seat and was teaching them,

Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

And when they heard [what He had said], they [all] left, one at a time, beginning with the oldest men. So, Jesus was left alone with the woman [still standing] there where she was.

When Jesus had lifted up himself again, and saw no man, but the woman; He said unto her, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?"

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You have neither known me nor my Father; if you had known me you would also have known my Father.
