upon which his mother bid the servants do whatever he should order.

if you don't believe when I tell you what is plain, how should you believe, if I tell you of things more sublime?

that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

for every one that doth evil, hateth the light, and shunneth the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I am come in my father's name, and you receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him you will receive.

but if you don't believe what he has writ, how should you believe what I say?

and the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this,

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

but this is the bread which came down from heaven, that he who eats thereof should not die.

what if you should see the son of man ascend up where he was before?

but there are some of you who do not believe. (for Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who should betray him.)

(but this he meant of the spirit, which they that believed on him, should receive: for the spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

now Moses has ordain'd in the law, that such criminals should be stoned: but what is your opinion?

yet ye have not known him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a lyar like you: but I know him, and observe his commands.

his parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had agreed in this, that if any man did own him for the Messias, he should be excommunicated.

the man replied, that's very strange that he should make me see, and you should not know who sent him.

Jesus said to her, did I not tell you, that if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?

you little consider it is our interest, that one man should die for the people, to prevent the destruction of the whole nation.

now this he did not say from his own motion: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation:

now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had publish'd an order, that if any man knew where he was, he should give information in order to have him seized.

(this he said to signify what death he should die.)

and hardned their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."

nevertheless there were many even among the chief rulers, who believed on him; but they did not own it publickly for fear the Pharisees should excommunicate them.

for I have not spoken for my self; but the father who sent me, he commission'd me, what I should teach, and what I should speak.

now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God.

but Jesus who knew every thing that should happen to him, advanc'd, and said to them, who do you look for?

the same Caiaphas, who in council told the Jews, "it was expedient that one man should die for the people."

Then they led Jesus early in the morning from Caiaphas, to the Pretorium: but the Jews themselves did not enter into the Pretorium, lest they should be defiled: and so not be in a condition to eat the passover.

so that what Jesus had said, to signify the death he should die, was actually accomplished.

Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, I should have had my guards to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews: whereas my kingdom is of another nature.

Now for fear the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, for it was then the eve of the pascal-sabbath, a day of high solemnity, the Jews desired Pilate that their legs might be broke, and that they might be taken away.

for these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "a bone of him shall not be broken."

this he said to signify to Peter by what death he should glorify God. and when he had spoken this, he said to him, follow me.

which occasion'd a flying rumour among the brethren, that John should not die: tho' Jesus had not said, he shall not die: but, if I will have him stay till I come, what have you to do with that?

the other transactions of Jesus are so numerous, that if these were to be particularly descried, I imagine the world would be overwhelm'd with the books that should be written.
