There appeared a man named John, sent from God.

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

John answered them, "I am baptizing only in water. There is standing among you One with whom you are not acquainted.

Next day he observed Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, there is the lamb of God, who is to remove the sin 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 day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;

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

Next day Jesus determined to leave for Galilee; there he met Philip and told him, "Follow me."

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

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile!

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

AND on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

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 stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each.

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, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and he continued there not many days.

And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:

NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

There is no one gone up to heaven, except the One who came down from heaven??he Son of man himself.

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 Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised.

Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.

Then there was a controversy of the disciples of John with a Jew concerning purification.

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].

And Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e'en sat himself down on the well: it was 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,

Do you not say, There are yet four months, and the harvest comes? behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields; for they are white for a harvest.

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

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they kept on urging Him to stay with them; so He did stay there two days.

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

After the two days were over, Jesus left there and went on to 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.

Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had 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.

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

And there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

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.

And there was a certain man there who had been sick thirty-eight years.

Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?

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."

but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.

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 testifies 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 accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.

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 on the mountain and sat there with his disciples.

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

There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for so many?

Jesus said, Make the men sit down. And there was much grass in the place. The men, therefore, sat down in number 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].

There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,

ON the next day, the multitude standing on the other side of the lake seeing that there was no other boat there except one, and that Jesus entered not into the ship with his disciples but his disciples had gone away alone,??23 but other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord gave thanks,??24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went into the ships and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

(howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):

then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus.

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

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal 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.

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, because he didn't want to travel in Judea, since the Jewish leaders there were trying to kill him.

his brethren therefore said, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.

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.

He that speaketh from himself, seeks his own individual honour: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and iniquity in him there is none.

Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.

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.

Now, this, spake he concerning the Spirit which they who believed on him were about to receive; for, not yet, was there Spirit, because, Jesus, not yet, was 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;

And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

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?

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true and My decision is right; for I am not alone [in making it], but I and the Father who sent Me [make the same judgment].

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.

So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

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.

and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.

Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,

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?

and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,

and many did believe in him there.
