All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.

who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?

And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.

They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?

And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;

and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.

What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher,) where abidest thou?

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the marriage.

Now, according to the Jewish custom of purifying, six water-pots of stone had been set there, containing each two or three baths.

And he found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sit ting.

The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit.

Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?

Verily, verily, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and testify to that which we have seen; and you receive not our testimony.

And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

But he that does the truth, comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are done in God.

And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed;

And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come hither.

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.

And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest.

Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.

Jesus said to him: Go, your child lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and departed.

And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives.

Then his father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself, and all his house, believed.

Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.

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

He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk.

Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.

You search the scriptures, because in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify concerning me:

There is a lad here that has five barley loaves, and two little fishes; but what are these among so many?

And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the broken pieces which remain, that nothing be lost.

Therefore, Jesus perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew into the mountain himself alone.

Then, having rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the ship; and they were afraid.

Then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.

(but there came other boats from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks;)

when, therefore, the multitude saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they also entered the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Jesus answered them, and said: Verily, verily I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among your selves;

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever.

Then, what if you should see the Son of man go up where he was before?

It is the spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak to you are spirit and life.

But there are some among you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.

Then his brothers said to him: Depart hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples may see your works which you do;

Then Jesus said to them: My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.

The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

Then the Jews sought for him at the feast, and said: Where is he?

And the Jews were astonished, and said: How has this man a knowledge of letters, having never been taught?

If any one will do his will, he shall know with respect to the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself.

Jesus answered and said to them: I have done one work, and you are all astonished on account of this.

If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I have restored the entire man to health on the sabbath-day?

You will seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you can not come.

Then the Jews said among themselves: Whither is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to those who are dispersed among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?

What means this saying which he uttered, You will seek me, and will not find me; and, Where I am you can not come?

But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe on him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

Then the Pharisees answered them: Are you also deceived?

Has any one of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?

But this multitude that know not the law are cursed.

Does our law condemn a man unless it first hear from him, and know what he does?

They answered and said to him: Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee arises no prophet.

And when Jesus stood up, and saw no one but the woman, he said to her: Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?

Then the Pharisees said to him: You testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not worthy of credit.

It is also written in your law, The testimony of two is worthy of credit.

Then they said to him: Where is your Father? Jesus answered: You know neither me, nor my Father. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.

Then spoke Jesus to them again; I go away, and you will seek me, and in your sin you shall die; whither I go, you can not come.

And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

Therefore said I to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am, He, you shall die in your sins.

Then they said to him: Who are you? And Jesus said to them: The same that I said to you at the beginning.

Then said Jesus to those Jews that believed on him: If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed,

They answered him: We are the posterity of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How say you, You shall be made free?

I know that you are the posterity of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

I speak what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.

They answered and said to him: Abra ham is our father. Jesus said to them: If you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham.

You do the works of your father. They said to him: We were not born of lewdness; we have one father, God.

Jesus said to them: If God were your father, you would love me; for I came forth from God and have come hither; nor, indeed, did I come of myself, but he sent me.

You are of your father, the devil; and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the be ginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks that which is false, he speaks from what is his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

He that is of God, hears God's words. For this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.

The Jews answered, and said to him: Do we not well say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself?

Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is nothing; it is my Father that honors me, of whom you say, that he is your God.

Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he could see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

Then the Jews said to him: You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Then they said to him: How were your eyes opened?

Then they said to him: "Where is he? He said: I know not.

Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.
