In him was life, and the life was the light of men,

that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;

he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst -- to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

'And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

Jesus saith to him, 'Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying -- 'Thy child doth live;'

then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

I am the bread of the life;

I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep it;

and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'

'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

'If ye love me, my commands keep,

yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;

he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.

According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

'This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

'These things I command you, that ye love one another;

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give to them life age-during;

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Feed my lambs.'

He saith to him again, a second time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Tend my sheep.'

He saith to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, 'Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, 'Feed my sheep;
