Now this is the testimony which John gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem, to ask him, "Who are you?"

Now the messengers belonged to the party of the Pharisees;

Now Jesus turned, and as He saw them following Him, He said, "What are you looking for?" They said to Him, "Rabbi," (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

Then he took him to Jesus. Jesus looked him over and said, "You are Simon, son of John. From now on your name shall be Cephas" (which means Peter, or Rock).

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.

Now in accordance with the custom of purification practiced by the Jews, six stone water jars were standing there, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

Then He said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the manager of the feast." So they took him some.

and said to him, "Everybody, as a rule, serves his good wine first, and his poorer wine after people have drunk freely; you have kept the good wine till now."

Now the Jewish Passover was approaching; so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people, because they saw the wonder-works which He was performing, trusted in Him as the Christ.

Now there was a man named Nicodemus, who belonged to the party of the Pharisees and was a leader among the Jews.

Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had heard that He was winning and baptizing more disciples than John --

for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."

Now the reaper is already getting pay, for he is gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

and they were saying to the woman, "It is not merely because of what you said that we now believe, for we have heard Him ourselves, and we know that He is really the Saviour of the world."

So He came back to Cana in Galilee where He had turned the water into wine. Now there was at Capernaum an officer of the king's court whose son was sick.

Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-gate there is a pool called in Hebrew Bethzatha, which has five porticoes,

And at once the man was well, and picked up his pallet, and went to walking. Now it was the Sabbath.

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple court, and said to him, "See! You are now well. Stop sinning or something worse may befall you."

Now the Passover, the Jewish feast, was approaching.

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot; so the men, about five thousand, threw themselves down.

and got into a boat and started across the sea to Capernaum. Now it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

Now the will of Him who sent me is this, that I should lose none of all that He has given me, but should raise them to life on the last day.

Now the Jewish feast of Dwelling in Tents was approaching.

Now the Jews at the feast were looking for Him and kept asking, "Where is He?"

Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach.

In our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now, what do you say?"

Now a slave does not live permanently in a household, but a son does.

But right now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that He has learned from God. Abraham never did that.

Then Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. No, indeed, I have not come on my own authority, but He has sent me.

Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that you are under the power of a demon. Abraham is dead; the prophets too, and yet you say, 'If anyone follows my teaching, he will never experience death.'

Now his neighbors and those who saw that he was formerly blind, kept saying, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

Now it was on the Sabbath when Jesus had made the clay and caused the man's eyes to see.

So the Pharisees again asked him how he had come to see. He answered them: "He put some clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and so now I can see."

and asked them, "Is this your son, and do you affirm that he was born blind? If so, how is it then that he now can see?"

But we do not know how it is that he now can see, or who it was that made his eyes to see. Ask him; he is of age; he can speak for himself."

Then he answered, "I do not know whether He is a sinner. I do know one thing, that once I was blind but now I can see."

Jesus answered him, "You have seen Him; you are talking to Him right now!"

Jesus answered them, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty, but now you keep on claiming, 'We can see'; so your sin remains."

do you now say to me whom my Father has set apart to it and sent into the world, 'You are a blasphemer,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Now a man was sick; it was Lazarus who lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

Now Jesus held in loving esteem Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

The disciples said to Him, "Teacher, the Jews just now were trying to stone you, and are you going back there again?"

Now Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem,

But even now I know that whatever you ask God for He will give you."

Now Jesus sighed again and continued to sigh as He went to the grave. It was a cave with a stone lying over the mouth of it.

Now he did not say this on his own authority, but because he was high priest that year he uttered this prophecy from God, that Jesus was to die for the nation,

Now the Jewish Passover was approaching, and many people from the country went up to Jerusalem, to purify themselves before the Passover.

Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone should learn where He was, he should let it be known so that they might arrest Him.

Now six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus lived, whom He had raised from the dead.

Now my soul is troubled; what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour of agony! And yet it was for this very purpose that I came to this hour of agony.

This world is now in process of judgment; the prince of this world is now to be expelled.

Jesus answered him, "You do not now understand what I am doing, but by-and-by you will learn."

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has taken a bath has no need of washing anything but his feet, but he is clean all over. And you are now clean, though not all of you are."

From now on I will tell you things before they take place, so that when they do take place, you may believe that I am the Christ.

When he had left, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him,

Dear children, I am to be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but, as I told the Jews, so I now tell you, you cannot just now go where I am going.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "I am going where you cannot follow me just now, but you will later follow me."

Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow you right now? I will lay down my life for you."

If you knew me, you would know my Father too. From now on you do know Him and you have seen Him."

I now leave you the blessing of peace, I give you the blessing of my own peace. I myself do not give it in the way the world gives it. Stop letting your hearts be troubled or timid.

And now I have told you this before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe in me.

I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing; I now call you friends, because I have told you everything that I have learned from my Father.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done things among them that no one else has ever done, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have seen and even hated both my Father and me.

But now I am going away to Him who has sent me, and not one of you is asking me where I am going,

Yet it is nothing but the truth I now tell you, that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go away, the Helper will not come into close fellowship with you, but if I do go away, I will send Him to be in close fellowship with you.

"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot grasp it now.

So you too are now in sorrow, but I am going to see you again, and then your hearts will be happy, and no one can rob you of your happiness.

Up to this time you have not asked for anything as bearers of my name, but now you must keep on asking, and you will receive, that your cup of joy may be full to the brim.

for the Father tenderly loves you Himself, because you now tenderly love me and now believe that I have come from the Father.

I did come from the Father and I have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

His disciples said to Him, "Now you are talking plainly and not in allegory at all.

Now we know that you know everything and do not need that anyone should ask you questions. For this reason we believe that you have come from God."

Jesus answered them, "Do you now really believe?

Now eternal life means knowing you as the only true God and knowing Jesus your messenger as Christ.

So now, Father, glorify me up there in your presence just as you did before the world existed.

"I have made your very self known to the men whom you have given me out of the world. At first they were yours, but now you have given them to me, and they have obeyed your message.

Now they have come to know that everything you have given me really comes from you;

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world now, but only for those whom you have given me, because they are yours --

And now I am no longer to be in the world, but they are to stay on in the world, while I am going to be with you. Holy Father, keep them by the power which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.

As long as I was with them, I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who is now doomed to be lost, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

And now I am going to be with you, and I am saying these things while still in the world, that the joy which I experience may be fully experienced in their own souls.

Now Judas, too, who betrayed Him, knew the spot, because Jesus had often met with His disciples there.

Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their welfare that one should die for the people.

Now you have a custom to have me set one man free at your Passover time. So do you wish me to set the king of the Jews free?"

Then they all shouted back, "No! Not Him, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it to see who gets it." This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, "They divided my clothes among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." Now this was what the soldiers did.

After this, as Jesus knew that everything was now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, "I am thirsty."

Now Nicodemus also, who had formerly come to Jesus at night, went and took a mixture of myrrh and aloes that weighed about one hundred pounds.

Jesus again said to them, "Peace be with you! Just as my Father has sent me forth, so I am now sending you."

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came in.

Now there are many other wonder-works which Jesus performed in the disciples' presence which are not recorded in this book.

Now just as day was breaking, Jesus took His stand on the shore, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

This was now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead.
