He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?

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

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal.

But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

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 this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

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.

If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man whole on the sabbath-day?

(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.)

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

But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

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.

Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.

So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.

Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.

But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died?

nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed.

And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed.

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.

Then Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

And this he said, signifying by what death he should die.

"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."

However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues:

I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come, that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end.

And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him;)

For I have given you an example, that just as I have done to you, ye should do also.

Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake.

For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye should bring forth much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any person should ask thee: by this we believe that thou hast come forth from God.

even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life:

and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.

Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.

Jesus replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.

But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one person at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

Then delivered he him therefore unto them, that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

Though not even yet had they known the scripture, that he should rise from the dead.

Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I should see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I shall never believe it.

This he told him, to intimate by what kind of death he should glorify God. And having thus spoken, he said to him, Follow me.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if every particular was written, I am of opinion that the world itself would not be capable of retaining the books which should be written. Amen.
