he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

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.

I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit."

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

and when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that expression of his: and they believed the scripture, and what Jesus had said.

Jesus therefore knowing the Pharisees had heard that he made more disciples, and baptized more than John,

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have, is not your husband: in that you said true.

(tho' Jesus himself had declared, that a prophet is not honoured in his own country.)

when he was come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the feast: for they likewise went to the feast.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

go thy way, said Jesus: thy son is well. and the man believed what Jesus had said to him, and went his way.

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

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

for had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: since he has spoke of me in his writings.

(this he said to prove Philip: for he himself knew what he had to do.)

then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were sate down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

they gathered them therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained after they all had been eating.

The people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, cry'd out, this is of a truth that prophet who was to come into the world.

so when they had rowed about five and twenty, or thirty furlongs, seeing Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, they were frightned.

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however,

there came other barks from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks.)

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

Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled.

and some of them had a mind to seize him; but nobody laid hands on him.

then the Scribes and Pharisees brought a woman surprized in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle of the assembly,

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

the neighbours therefore, and they who before had seen him begging, said, is not this he that used to sit begging?

This very man that had been blind, was at length brought to the Pharisees.

the Pharisees therefore ask'd him likewise, how he had received his sight. he told them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and now see.

his parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had agreed in this, that if any man did own him for the Messias, he should be excommunicated.

They therefore again call'd the man that had been blind, and said to him, in the name of God tell the truth: for we know that this man is an impostor.

if this man had not his mission from God, he could do nothing.

Jesus having heard that they had excommunicated him; and meeting with the man, he said to him, do you believe on the son of God?

however, he stay'd in the place where he was, even two days after he had heard that Lazarus was sick.

When Jesus was arriv'd, he found that Lazarus had been then four days in the grave.

Lord, said Martha to Jesus, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

When she had said this, she went privately to call Mary her sister, saying, the master is come, and calls for you.

Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

when he had spoke this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

many therefore of the Jews who came to see Mary, and had seen what Jesus had done, believed on him.

But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.

now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had publish'd an order, that if any man knew where he was, he should give information in order to have him seized.

Six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and raised to life again.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

for the chief priests had resolved to put even Lazarus to death;

this passage his disciples did not understand at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, they remembred how they had mounted him, and perceiv'd that those words related to him.

But though he had done so many miracles in their presence, yet they did not believe on him:

though he knew that the father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and was going to God,

after he had washed their feet, he took his garment, and setting down again, he said to them, do you comprehend what I have been doing?

Jesus answered, he it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have made it. and when he had made the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

and after he had taken the sop, Satan entred into him. then said Jesus to him, what you do, do quickly.

for as Judas had the purse, some of them thought, that Jesus had ordered him to buy what was necessary against the feast: or give something to the poor.

a new commandment I give unto you, "that ye love one another; that you would have the same love for one another as I have had for you."

if you had known me, you would likewise have known my father: and from henceforth you shall know him, nay, you have seen him.

if I had not appear'd, and inform'd them, they would have been innocent: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father.

now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?"

for the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I had my mission from God.

and now, O father, glorify me in heaven, with the glory which I had before the creation of the world.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he pass'd with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entred with them.

now Judas, who was to betray him, knew the place: for Jesus and his disciples had frequently assembled there.

now the servants and officers that were there, had made a coal-fire, for it was cold, to warm themselves: and Peter stood warming himself among them.

why do you question me? ask those who heard me, what discourse I had with them: they know very well what I said.

now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

so that what Jesus had said, to signify the death he should die, was actually accomplished.

Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, I should have had my guards to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews: whereas my kingdom is of another nature.

The soldiers, after they had crucified Jesus, took his garments (and made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

when Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished: and bowing his head, he expir'd.

now near the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no body had ever yet been laid.

as for the napkin that had been put about his head, it was not in the same place as the linen clothes, but lay folded up by it self.

then the other disciple, who arriv'd first, went into the cave likewise, and he saw, and believed what Mary had said.

and saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, the one at the head, the other at the feet.

so Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

and when he had so said, he show'd them his hands and his side. the disciples were therefore extremely glad when they saw it was the Lord.

and when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "receive ye the holy spirit.

So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me more than these do? yes, Lord, said he, you know that I love you. Jesus reply'd, feed my lambs.

I tell you for certain, tho' when you was a youth you girded your self, and rambled where you had a mind: yet when you are old, your hands shall be stretch'd out, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee where you will be unwilling to go.

this he said to signify to Peter by what death he should glorify God. and when he had spoken this, he said to him, follow me.

which occasion'd a flying rumour among the brethren, that John should not die: tho' Jesus had not said, he shall not die: but, if I will have him stay till I come, what have you to do with that?
