all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made.

the Life was produc'd in him, and the Life was the Light of men.

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

he came unto his own, and his own received him not.

but to as many as received him, and believed on him, he granted the privilege of being the sons of God.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."

no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is intimate with the father, hath made him known.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

said they to him, who then art thou? that we may give an answer to those that sent us: what sayst thou of thy self?

Now the messengers were of the sect of the Pharisees, and they asked him,

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."

I knew him not: but therefore am I come baptizing with water, that he might be manifest to Israel.

and John testified, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

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."

then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, said, what do you seek? they answered him, rabbi, that is to say master, where do you dwell?

come, said he, and see. so they went and saw where he lodged, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

and he brought him to Jesus. and when Jesus beheld him, he said, "thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

The day following Jesus having a mind to go into Galilee, met with Philip, and said to him, follow me.

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

but Nathanael said to him, can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? come and see, said Philip.

Jesus seeing Nathanael coming, said of him, there's a true Israelite, in whom is no guile. how do you know me?

said Nathanael to him. before Philip called you, replied Jesus, I saw you under the fig-tree.

Jesus answered him, because thou believest what I said, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou shalt see greater things than these.

and he said to him, I declare unto you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending, and descending upon the son of man.

now when the wine was out, the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine.

and said to him, 'tis usual to present the best wine first, and afterwards the worse, when the guests have drank pretty freely: but you have reserved the best wine to the last.

thus was the first miracle of Jesus wrought at Cana in Galilee, by which he displayed his power; and his disciples believed on him.

Now whilst he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the passover, many believed in him when they saw the miracles which he did.

who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him.

Jesus answered him, I declare unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jesus answered him, are you a doctor in Israel, and not know these things?

that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

he that believeth on him, shall not be condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the only begotten son of God.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat.

for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction.

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being about the sixth hour.

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

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.

but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst: for the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a fountain springing up to everlasting life.

the woman said to him, sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

God is a spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

then said the woman to him, I know that the Messias (that is to say the Christ) is to come, and when he is come, he will tell us all things.

so they went out of the city, and came to him.

In the mean while his disciples invited him, saying, pray master, eat.

upon which the disciples said one to another, hath any man brought him any thing to eat?

Jesus said to 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, for that testimony which the woman gave him, "he told me all that ever I did."

so that when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired him to stay with them: and he stay'd there two days.

and many more believed, for having heard him speak himself: and said to the woman,

now it is not for what you have said, that we believe: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the saviour of the world, the Christ.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

but Jesus said to him, except you see signs and miracles, you will not believe.

the nobleman said to him, sir, pray come down before my child be dead.

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

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

then he enquired of them the hour when he began to mend: and they answered, yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

so the father knew that it was at the very same hour, at which Jesus said to him, thy son is well. and he himself believed, and all his family.

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

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

rise, said Jesus to him, take up thy bed, and go your way.

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk?

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

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

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

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 the father loveth the son, and sheweth him all that he himself doth: and he will shew him greater works than these, so that you will be surprized.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

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

nor will his Logos abide among you: for tho' he hath sent him, you do not believe him.

I am come in my father's name, and you receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him you will receive.

where a great multitude followed him, invited by the miraculous cures which they saw him perform.

Jesus then lifting up his eyes, and seeing a great company coming to him, said to Philip, where can we buy bread to feed this people?

Philip answered him, two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient to furnish every one of them a little.

one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

but Jesus perceiving they designed to come and take him by force to make him a king, retired again upon a mountain all alone.

then they readily received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they were bound.

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

work not for the food which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, and which the son of man shall give unto you, for to him it is that the father, that is God, has given his credentials.

then said they to him, what shall we do, that our works may he agreeable to God?

Jesus answered them, the work which God requires is to believe on him whom he hath sent.

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

and the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this,

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Jews then murmured against him, for having said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

no man can come to me, except the father who hath sent me, conduct him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

it is written in the prophets, "they shall be all taught of God." every man therefore that hath heard the father, and been instructed by him, cometh unto me.

not that any man hath seen the father, except him who is come from God, he hath seen the father.

he that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

he that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

when many of his disciples, who heard him, said, this is strange doctrine, who can hear it?

but there are some of you who do not believe. (for Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who should betray him.)

and he said, therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my father.

From that time many of his disciples withdrew, and associated no longer with him.

meaning Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that would betray him, altho' he was one of the twelve.
