[Eventually] this Word became a human being and lived among us [Note: The word "lived" here refers to pitching a temporary tent]. (And we saw His splendor; such splendor as belongs to the Father's only Son), full of God's favor and truth.

Now here is John's testimony. When the Jews of Jerusalem despatched priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

Jesus answer'd her, woman, leave that affair to me, is not that my concern?

And to the ones selling the doves he said, "Take these [things] away from here! Do not make my Father's house {a marketplace}!"

If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?

and they came and told John, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the opposite side of the Jordan, the man to whom you bore testimony ??here he is, baptizing, and everybody goes to him!"

where a woman of Samaria being come to draw water, Jesus said to her, give me to drink.

Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.)

Jesus answered her, if you knew the dispensation of God, and who it is that says to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

Jesus answered her, they that drink of this water, will be thirsty again:

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw [water]!"

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

Jesus told her, "You are quite right in saying, "I don't have a husband,' because you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."

Jesus said to her, woman, believe me, the time is coming when it shall be neither on this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem that ye shall worship the father.

But an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such [people] [to be] his worshipers.

Jesus said to her, I that am talking with you am he.

Upon this his disciples came, and were surpriz'd at his conversing with the woman: yet none of them said, what did you ask her? or, why do you talk with her?

the woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people, come,

"Come, here is a man who has told me everything I ever did! Do you suppose he is the Christ?"

For here the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.'

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not receive honor in his own country. [Note: Jesus' reference here to his "own country" means Judea, while in Matt., Mark and Luke it refers to Nazareth].

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

here am I, come in the name of my Father, and you will not accept me: let someone else come in his own name, and you will accept him!

Philip answered Him, "Not even two hundred coins' worth of bread would be enough to feed them if everyone ate only a little bit." [Note: The amount here indicated was two hundred days of a farm laborer's pay, or about $14,000 in 1994].

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, Here is a lad, who hath five barley-loaves and two small fishes:

there is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

And He says to them, I am here; fear not.

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

But here is the bread that comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat it and never die.

It is the Holy Spirit who [Note: The Greek word here is "that" instead of "who"] gives life [i.e., understanding the spiritual nature of Jesus' teaching can produce spiritual life]; the flesh is of no value [i.e., understanding Jesus' teaching only in a physical sense makes it worthless]. The words I have spoken to you are [from the] Holy Spirit and [they give] life.

So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.

Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.

You men go [on] up to the festival, but I am not going up yet [Note: Although "yet" appears in only a few manuscripts, it seems to be the proper idea here], because my time has not yet come. [See verse 6].

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

I do know him, because I come from him, and he has sent me here."

But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

So, [when] the Temple guards [See verse 32] returned to the leading priests and Pharisees, they were asked, "Why did you not bring Jesus here?"

And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

but they who heard that, being convicted by their own conscience, they all went old and young one after another, so that Jesus was left alone with the woman, who still kept her place.

And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

Lord, said she, no man. and Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Here I am testifying to myself, and the Father who has sent me testifies to me."

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, who was of Bethany, the town of Mary, and of Martha her sister.

(it was that Mary who perfum'd the Lord with ointment, after having wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

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

Jesus said to her, your brother shall rise again.

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me shall live even though he were dead:

"Yes, Lord," she said, "I do believe you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world" ??28 and with these words she went off to call her sister Mary, telling her secretly, "The Teacher is here, and he is calling for you."

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

the Jews then who were with Mary in the house to comfort her, when they saw that she rose in such haste, and went out, followed her, saying, she is going to the grave to weep there.

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 Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he sighed from his heart, and was troubled,

Jesus said to her, did I not tell you, that if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?

I know that thou hearest me always: but I say this, because of the people here present, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

And saying these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, Here! Outside!

When many of Mary's Jewish friends, who had come to console her, saw what Jesus had done, they believed in Him.

but Mary taking a pound of the oil of spikenard which was very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair: so that the house was filled with the odour of the perfume.

"Why was this perfume not sold for a large sum of money [Note: The amount here was equivalent to three hundred days of a farm laborer's pay, or over $20,000 in 1994] and [then] the money given to poor people?"

then said Jesus, let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.

Fear not, daughter of Sion; here is your king coming, seated on an ass's colt.

The one who loves his life [eventually] loses it [through death], but the one who hates his life in this world [and is concerned with pleasing God] will keep it for life eternal.

The crowd answered Him, "We have learned from the law that the Christ is to remain here forever, and so how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Jesus answered and said to him: What I am doing you know not now, but you will know here after.

But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!

Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

Just as you gave Him authority over all mankind, He will give never ending life to all those people [Note: The Greek word here is neuter gender, "all those things"] you have given Him.

I have glorified you down here upon the earth by completing the work which you have given me to do.

now that I am coming to thee, while I am here, I make these requests for them, that their joy in me may be compleat.

whilst Peter stood without at the door. but that other disciple, who was known to the high priest went out, and spoke to her that kept the door, who let Peter in.

Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."

“My kingdom is not of this world,” said Jesus. “If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here.”

Now Pilate went outside again and said to the Jewish authorities, "Look, I am bringing him out here to you, so you can know that I do not find him guilty of any crime."

Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

noon] on the Day of Preparation for the Passover Festival. [Note: This would be the day before the Passover Festival]. And Pilate said to the Jews, "Look, [here is] your king!"

It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning. Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”

In the mean time the mother of Jesus, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene, were standing by the cross.

When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.

And they say to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep?' she saith to them, 'Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;'

Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, 'Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;'

Jesus saith to her, 'Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, 'Rabbouni;' that is to say, 'Teacher.'

Jesus saith to her, 'Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that these things he said to her.

Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.”

After these things happened Jesus showed Himself to His disciples again at Lake Tiberias. [Note: This was another name for Lake Galilee]. Here is the way He did it.

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord what shall he here do?"

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?
