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

Jesus saw Nathanael approaching and said of him, "Here is a genuine Israelite! There is no guile in him."

The wind blows where it wills; you can hear its sound, but you never know where it has come from or where it goes: it is the same with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

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!"

and a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink"

Jesus said to her, "Go and call your husband, then come back here."

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

At this point his disciples came up; they were surprised that he was talking to a woman, but none of them said, "What is it?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

Then the woman left her water-pot, and going off to the town told the people,

"Come here, look at a man who has told me everything I ever did! Can he be the Christ?"

That proverb, 'One sows and another reaps,' holds true here:

So he asked them at what hour he had begun to improve; they told him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

The reply of Jesus was, "As my Father has continued working to this hour, so I work too."

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!

"There is a servant here, with five barley-cakes and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

Yet here he is, opening his lips in public, and they say nothing to him! Can the authorities have really discovered that he is the Christ?

The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of committing adultery, and making her stand forward

but as they persisted with their question, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent among you throw the first stone at her";

Looking up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

Said Jesus, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came here from God; I did not come of my own accord, I was sent by him.

He retorted, "I have told you that already, and you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it over again? Do you want to be disciples of his?"

Now there was a man ill, Lazarus of Bethany ??the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill was the Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair.)

[Relocated to follow vs 2] Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus;

Said Martha to Jesus, "Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died.

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

Jesus said to her, "I am myself resurrection and life: he who believes in me will live, even if he dies,

"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."

and when the Jews who were condoling with her inside the house noticed her rise hurriedly and go out, they followed her, as they imagined she was going to wail at the tomb.

But when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she dropped at his feet, crying, "Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died."

Now when Jesus saw her wailing and saw the Jews who accompanied her wailing, he chafed in spirit and was disquieted.

Then Mary, taking a pound of expensive perfume, real nard, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair, till the house was filled with the scent of the perfume.

Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, let her keep what she has for the day of my burial.

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

And Jesus answered, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

My soul is now disquieted. What am I to say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? Nay, it is something else that has brought me to this hour:

He who does not love me does not obey my word; and what you hear me say is not my word but the word of the Father who sent me.

When a woman is in labour she is sorry, for her time has come; but when the child is born she remembers her anguish no longer, for joy that a human being has been born into the world:

So out came Jesus, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said, "Here the man is!"

Then he said to the disciple, "And, there is your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his home.

"Woman," they said to her, "why are you sobbing?" She said, "Because they have taken away my master, and I do not know where they have put him!"

Away went Mary of Magdala to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord!" ??telling them what he had said to her.

Then he said to Thomas, "Look at my hands, put your finger here; and put your hand here into my side; cease your unbelief and believe."
