He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

On those who have accepted him, however, he has conferred the right of being children of God, that is, on those who believe in his Name,

who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with [his] grace.

For while the law was given through Moses, spiritual blessing and truth have come through Jesus Christ.

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us, so that we can have an answer to give to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known;

And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason have I come baptizing with water.

And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.

Then He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So, they went and saw where He was staying and they stayed with Him that day. It was about ten o'clock in the morning. [Note: Hour designations in this book are being calculated by Roman time, but this would have been

He first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ).

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;)

Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.

And the wine being exhausted, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no more wine.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have you to do with me? My time to act has not yet come."

And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

and saith to him, Every man at first produces the good wine; and after men have drunk plentifully, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept back the good wine until now.

And said unto them that sold doves, "Have these things hence, and make not my father's house a house of merchandise."

Then the Jews addressed Him and asked, "What sign can you show us that you have authority to act in this way?"

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

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

He came to Jesus one night and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that you have come from God, for no one can perform the wonder-works that you are doing, unless God is with him."

Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony.

If I have told you of earthly things, and ye believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

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

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

And the ground for the sentence is this, that the light has come into the world, and yet, because their actions were evil, men have loved darkness more than the light.

But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

John [the Immerser] was also immersing people in Aenon, near Salem [Note: These locations are thought to have been in northeastern Judea, near the Jordan River], because there was a lot of water there; so people were coming to be immersed.

"Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him."

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.

You can bear testimony to me yourselves that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent as His announcer.'

It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend, who stands by and listens to him, is filled with joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. This joy I have felt to the full.

Jacob's [spring-fed] well was there so Jesus, tired from His [long] journey, sat down beside the well just as He was [i.e., before doing anything else]. It was about six o'clock in the morning [Note: This would have been

So the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that a Jew like you asks a Samaritan woman like me for a drink?" For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.

The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?

The woman said to Him, "Give me this water at once, sir, so I may never get thirsty again, nor have to come so far to draw water."

The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You were right in saying, 'I have no husband,'

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

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

Come and see a man who has told me all things which I have done; is this the Christ?

Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, have something to eat."

But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

So the disciples began to say to one another, "Can any one have brought him something to eat?"

You have a saying, have you not, 'Four months yet, then harvest'? Look round, I tell you; see, the fields are white for harvesting!

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

I have sent you to reap a harvest which you have not labored to make. Other men have labored, but you have reaped the results of their labors."

And many of the Samaritans in that city believed on him, on account of the word of the woman, testifying, He told me all things which I have done.

And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

and they were saying to the woman, "It is not merely because of what you said that we now believe, for we have heard Him ourselves, and we know that He is really the Saviour of the world."

for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.

Then he asked them what the [exact] time was when his son began to get better. They said to him, "[It was] yesterday at seven o'clock in the morning that the fever left him." [Note: This would have been

Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"

The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming another goes down before me.

So the Jews kept saying to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to pick up your pallet [because it is unlawful].”

Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you have become well; sin no more, lest a worse thing happen to you.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

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

let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good,

and shall come forth; those that have done good to a resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to a resurrection of judgment.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

I have Another to bear testimony to me, and I know the evidence he bears for me is valid.

Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

He was a burning, and a shining light; and ye would for a season have rejoiced in his light.

But I have greater testimony than John's; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father has sent me;

and the Father who sent me, he has testified of me. You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form;

and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

You search the Scriptures, because you think by them to have eternal life; and they testify of me;

and you will not come to me that you may have life.

I receive not honour from men, But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

but I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not; if another comes in his own name, him will you receive.

How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

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

If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?

Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel.

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves that remained over from those who have eaten.

But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

Then would they have received him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the land whither they went.

Jesus replied to them and said, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

"How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?"

Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

But I said to you, that you have seen me and believe not.

All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, -

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
