There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world.

John answered them, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not; he it is who coming after me,

On the next day John [the Immerser] saw Jesus approaching him and said, "Look, [there is] the Lamb of God; He [will] take away the sin of the people of the world.

This is the One about whom I said, 'After me there is coming a man who has already been put before me, because He existed before me.'

The next day after, John was again there with two of his disciples:

And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!

[Then] on the next day He [i.e., Jesus, but some think it refers to Peter or Andrew] decided to travel into Galilee, [and there] He found Philip. Jesus said to Philip, "Become my follower."

but Nathanael said to him, can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? come and see, said Philip.

Jesus seeing Nathanael coming, said of him, there's a true Israelite, in whom is no guile. how do you know me?

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.

Three days after, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; where the mother of Jesus was present.

And they had no wine, because the wine of the feast had failed. Then the mother of Jesus saith to him, There is no wine.

now there were six cisterns of stone plac'd there for the use of the Jews in their purifications, containing two or three firkins a-piece.

This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

After this he went down to Capernaum, in company with his mother, his brethren, and his disciples: but they stay'd there only a few days.

where he found in the temple those that sold oxen, sheep, and doves, besides the changers of money, who were sitting there.

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews:

There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.

Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there.

Now there happen'd to be a dispute about baptism between a Jews, and some of John's disciples:

John replied, “A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing at all] unless it has been granted to him from heaven [for there is no other source than the sovereign will of God].

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being about the sixth hour.

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

Jesus saith unto her - Believe me, woman! There cometh an hour, when, neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

But there cometh an hour, and, now, is, - when, the real worshippers, shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, even the Father, is seeking, such as these, as his worshippers.

The woman then left her water pot behind her, and went her way into the city, and said to the men there,

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.

so that when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired him to stay with them: and he stay'd there two days.

And he abode there two days. And many more believed,

And after the two days he departed from there into Galilee.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's.

In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.

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

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me."

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, shall live.

Do not be marvelling at this: because there come an hour, in which, all they in the tombs, shall hearken unto his voice,

there is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he gives of me, is true.

but I know there is no love to God in you;

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.

And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

there is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

but Jesus said, make the men sit down. and as there was much grass in the place, they sat down to the number of about five thousand.

So, [when] Jesus knew that the people were about to come and forcibly take Him and make Him [their] king, He left there again and went to the high plateau [to be] alone [i.e., to pray. See Mark 6:46].

And having entered into a ship, they came beyond the sea to Capernaum. And already was there darkness, and Jesus had not come to them.

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however,

there came other barks from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks.)

when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and there they died.

It is the Spirit that gives Life; mere flesh is of no avail. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is Life.

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

Then after these things happened, Jesus traveled in Galilee [only], for He did not want to move around in Judea because the Jews [there] were trying to kill Him.

his relations said to him, retire hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples there may also see the works that you do.

For there is no man that doeth any thing secretly, and he himself seeketh to be known. If thou do such things, show thyself to the world."

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him--this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

"There was one thing I did," replied Jesus, "at which you are all still wondering.

yet there he is talking publickly without any opposition: are not the rulers convinc'd that he is the Messiah?

Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come.

What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come?

In the last day, the most solemn day of the feast, Jesus being there, raised his voice, and said, if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

This spake he of the spirit, which they that believed on him should receive. For the holy ghost was not yet there, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

then Jesus raising himself, and seeing none but the woman there, he said to her, woman, where are your accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Even if I should judge, my decision is fair, because I am not alone, but there are two of us, I and the Father who has sent me.

a slave has no right to be in the house for life: but the son is settled there.

I know that you are Abraham's descendants, and yet you are trying to kill me, because there is no room in you for my teaching.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

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

"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"

We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.

Then the neighbors, who had seen the man begging previously, said, "Is not this the man who [used to] sit there and beg?"

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.

And there was a division among them. They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, for that he hath opened thine eyes?

The man answered them, "Well, there is something strange about this! You do not know where He comes from! And yet He has made my eyes to see!

Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep.

other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring; they will hear my voice; and so there shall be but one fold, and one pastor.

There was another schism therefore among the Jews, occasion'd by this discourse.

And there was the festival of inauguration among the Jerusalemites, and it was winter..

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

to the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

so that many people there believed on him.
