who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us; and we [actually] saw His glory, glory as belongs to the [One and] only begotten Son of the Father, [the Son who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, who is] full of grace and truth (absolutely free of deception).

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

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

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher which art come from God. For no man could do such miracles as thou doest, except God were with him."

the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes, or whither it goes: such is the change in every one that is renewed by the spirit.

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

And at this [point] his disciples came, and they were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you seek?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.

Jesus, [when he] saw this one lying [there] and knew that he had [been sick] a long time already, said to him, "Do you want to become well?"

The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

And the sick man did not know who He is: for Jesus went out, the crowd being in the place.

So the Jewish leaders began persecuting Jesus, because he kept doing such things on the Sabbath.

For this reason the Jews continued to seek the more eagerly to put him to death, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was actually speaking of God as his own Father, thus making himself of God's equal.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

I do not by this seek your applause.

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.

There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

So, when the people saw the [miraculous] sign that Jesus had performed [i.e., the feeding of the large crowd with such a small amount of food], they said, "Truly, this is the prophet who was to come into the world." [Note: This was probably a reference to the promise made in Deut. 18:15-19].

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven--not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever."

When many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can [be expected to] listen to it?”

For no one does things secretly if he wants to become known publicly. Since you are doing such things, show yourself to the world."

Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee.

And the Jews marveled, saying, "How did this man get such learning, having never studied?"

'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

The multitude answered and said, 'Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

As the Scripture has recorded [Note: The following is not an exact quotation from the OT, but echoes Isa. 58:11 and Zech. 14:8], 'Streams of life-giving water will flow from the person's heart who believes in me.'"

The officers answered, Never did man before speak in such a manner as this man.

but the populace, who are ignorant of the law, are such wretches.

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

Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

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

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Ye are of your father the devil, and are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

"If I do honor to myself," answered Jesus, "such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honor--and you say that he is your God;

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.

"We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, to such he listens.

From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth.

All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them.

The Jews answered him saying, "For thy good works' sake we stone thee not: but for thy blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. So after he had heard that he was sick,

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sake I was not there, that ye may believe:

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

the Jews then who were with Mary in the house to comfort her, when they saw that she rose in such haste, and went out, followed her, saying, she is going to the grave to weep there.

And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said [it], so that they may believe that you sent me."

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

because that for his sake many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written [Zech. 9:9],

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but after Jesus received splendor [in heaven], then they remembered that these things had been written about Him [in Scripture] and that people had done such things to Him.

Therefore met him the people, because they heard that he had done such a miracle.

"Now my heart is distressed; and what shall I say [i.e., to God]? 'Father, bring me safely through this time.' But, this is the reason I came [to earth]; to [go through] such a time.

Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.

But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--

Such things said Isaiah when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

You call me 'The Rabbi' and 'The Master,' and rightly so, for such I am.

Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

I tell you, whoever believes in me will do such things as I do, and things greater yet, because I am going to the Father.

but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.

And such things will they do unto you, because they have not known the father, neither yet me.

But I have told you these things so that, when the time comes [for people to do such things], you will remember that I had warned you. I did not tell you them at the beginning [of my ministry] because I was with you [i.e., to protect you from persecution].

But because I have said such things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow.

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had with You before the world existed.

And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

For their sake I sanctify Myself [to do Your will], so that they also may be sanctified [set apart, dedicated, made holy] in [Your] truth.

“I do not pray for these alone [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for [all] those who [will ever] believe and trust in Me through their message,

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?
