this man came for witness, that he might testify concerning the light, that through him all might believe.

He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of the light.

He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and yet the world knew Him not:

yea, He came to his own peculiar right, and even his own people received Him not.

But as many as received Him, to them granted He the privilege to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name;

Of Him did John bare witness, and publicly declared, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me.

he confessed, and denied not; but declared openly, I am not the Christ.

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

and he said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," according to Esaias the prophet.

This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me.

And I knew Him not: but therefore came I baptizing with water, that He might be made known to Israel.

And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.

and looking upon Jesus as He was walking, he saith, "Behold the lamb of God."

And when the two disciples heard what he said, they followed Jesus.

He saith unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.

He first meeteth with his own brother Simon, and telleth him, "We have found the Messiah, which is to say, the Christ."

And when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards Him, He saith concerning him, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile."

And He saith unto him, Verily verily I say unto you, Ye shall hereafter see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

His mother saith to the servants, Whatsoever he ordereth you to do, do it.

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and carry it to the master of the feast. And they carried it to him.

And when the manager of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants, that drew the water, knew,) he called the bride-groom,

After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.

For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,

and having made a whip of small cords He drove them all, out of the temple; with the sheep and the oxen: and He poured out the changers money, and threw down the tables.

Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body.

Therefore when he was risen from the dead,

his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast-day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.

for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily verily I tell thee, Unless 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?

Jesus answered, I tell thee of a truth, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

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

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

For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life:

He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds should be reproved.

But he that acts according to truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea: and He stayed with them there, and baptized.

And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

He, that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is earthly, and talketh like one of the earth:

but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.

He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true:

for He, whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure.

wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar,

But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water.

but he that drinketh of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst: but the water, which I shall give him, will be in him a fountain of water springing up unto eternal life.

for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true.

Then saith the woman unto Him, I know that the Messiah, that is to say the Christ, is coming; and when He comes, He will tell us all things.

Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He.

And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?)

But He said unto them, I have food to eat, which ye know not of.

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth the fruit together unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together;

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him, because of what the woman said, testifying, He told me all that ever I did.

Therefore when the Samaritans came to Him, they desired Him to stay with them: and He staid there two days.

And after two days he departed thence, and went into Cana of Galilee.

And when He was come into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.

Therefore Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Thy son is well.

He inquired therefore of them the hour in which he grew better: and they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

So the father knew that it was in that same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is well. And he and his whole family believed.

For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under.

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been now a long time ill, saith unto him, Dost thou desire to be cured?

And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked.

He answered them, He, that made me well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.

but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.

And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for whatsoever He doth, these also the Son doth in like manner.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things, which He Himself doth: and He will shew Him greater than these, that ye may wonder.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: even so the Son maketh alive whom He pleaseth.

that all men may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father: he, that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent Him.

Verily, verily I say unto you, he, that heareth my word, and believeth in Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death to life.

For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given also to the Son to have life in Himself.

And hath given Him authority also to execute judgement, because He is the Son of man.

but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.

Ye your selves sent unto John, and he bore witness to the truth:

He was indeed a burning and shining light, and for a while ye willingly rejoiced in his light.

And ye have not his word abiding in you; because ye believe not Him, whom He hath sent.

How can ye believe, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote concerning me:

but if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw his miracles which He performed on them that were diseased.

So Jesus went up to a mountain, and there He sat down with his disciples.

(and this He said to try him, for He knew what He was going to do:)

And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down; and of the fishes likewise, as much as they would take.

And when they were filled, He saith to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that are left, that nothing may be lost.

And the sea rose high by reason of a violent wind.

But He saith unto them, It is I: be not afraid.

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

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Then Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that He hath given me, I should lose none, but should raise them up at the last day.
