He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.

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

And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.

And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.

Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile!

Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

And the wine being exhausted, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no more wine.

Now there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each.

And he said unto them, Draw out now, and carry to the president of the table. So they carried it.

And when the president of the table had tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it came: (but the waiters knew, who drew the water;) the president of the table called the bridegroom,

and saith to him, Every man at first produces the good wine; and after men have drunk plentifully, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept back the good wine until now.

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now he had spoken with reference to the temple of his own body.

Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.

But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all,

and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony.

Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven.

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

Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony.

AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John

Now he must necessarily pass through Samaria.

The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?

but whosoever shall drink of the water which I shall give him, he shall no more thirst to eternity; but the water which I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up to life eternal.

The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may no more thirst, nor come hither to draw.

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:

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

Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews.

But the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshippers of him.

The woman saith, I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ): when he cometh, he will inform us of all things.

And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?

But he said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

Do ye not say, That yet there are four months, and then the harvest cometh? behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields; for they are now white for harvest.

I have sent you to reap that on which ye have bestowed no labour: others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labour.

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered!

Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.

Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos.

The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.

Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.

After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do.

So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the sea-side,

and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone;

(but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)

Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came down from heaven?

No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him.

And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.

From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.

Now he spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this man was ready to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

And a feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles.

For no man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit thyself to the world.

And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people.

Yet no person spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

But now at the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

If any man will do his will, he shall know respecting the doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

And, lo! he speaketh openly, and they say not a word to him. Do the rulers certainly know that this man is really the Messiah?

But we know this man whence he is: but when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

Then they sought to apprehend him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and spake aloud, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

(Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Others said, He is the Messiah. But others said, No: for cometh the Messiah out of Galilee?

Now some of them were desirous to apprehend him; but no one laid hands upon him.

Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou?

Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.

Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

Now even in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.

Then said they to him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come.

They knew not that he spake to them of the Father.

Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.

Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?

Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity.

yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.

They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not.

(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)
