He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.

He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.

No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.

Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay there.

For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized.

So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.

and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

"Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."

Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.

That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."

"He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"

"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?"

and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.

They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.

"Neither he nor his parents sinned," answered Jesus, "but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be openly shown in him.

"He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and obtained sight."

Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath.

Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?"

This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew out of their power.

Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.

Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.

took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!"

This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.

in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"

"He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."

No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from the Father I have made known to you.

It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.

And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."

Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.

He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."

So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.

They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.

So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just what the soldiers did.

After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "I am thirsty."

Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity)

One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."

Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.

So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."

This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.
