All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him.

But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name:

John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?

And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.

Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?

And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?

The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world,

And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.

And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon him.

And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?

He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.

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

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

And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted [in Greek], is Petros, a Rock.

The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.

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.

And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile!

Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.

And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

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

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.

This beginning of miracles Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and displayed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

The Jews then addressed him, and said to him, What miracle shewest thou, seeing thou actest thus?

this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these 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.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him.

John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven.

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him.

It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.

He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse 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?

but whosoever shall drink of the water which I shall give him, he shall no more thirst to eternity; but the water which I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up to life eternal.

The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may no more thirst, nor come hither to draw.

The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

But the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshippers of him.

God is a Spirit: and they who worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

In the mean time his disciples invited him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

Then said his disciples to each other, Hath any person brought him ought to eat?

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

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.

So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.

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.

This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death.

Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe.

The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead.

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

And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered!

Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him.

Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?

The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.

Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.

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.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.

in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life.

and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

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

And a vast multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on those who were diseased.

Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?

And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do.

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.

One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,)

Then Jesus, knowing their intention to come and to seize him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the mountain by himself alone.

Then they desired to take him into the vessel: and instantly the vessel was at the land whither they were going.

And when they found him on the other side the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God.

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.

For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
