There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was John;

It was of him that I spoke when I said 'After me there is coming a man who is now before me, for he was ever First.'

He looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed: "There is the Lamb of God!"

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said: "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!"

Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.

There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of 'purification,' each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum--he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.

Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a leading man among the Jews.

After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country parts of Judea; and there he stayed with them, and baptized.

John, also, was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there were many streams there; and people were constantly coming and being baptized.

Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about mid-day.

And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the King's officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.

Sometime after this there was a Jewish Festival; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

There is in Jerusalem, near the Sheep-gate, a Bath with five colonnades round it. It is called in Hebrew 'Bethesda.'

One man who was there had been afflicted for thirty-eight years.

Jesus saw the man lying there, and, finding that he had been in this state a long time, said to him: "Do you wish to be cured?"

"I have no one, Sir," the afflicted man answered, "to put me into the Bath when there is a troubling of the water, and, while I am getting to it, some one else steps down before me."

But the man who had been restored did not know who it was; for Jesus had moved away, because there was a crowd there.

Jesus went up the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.

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

The people who remained on the further side of the Sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.

So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him.

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.

Yet there are some of you who do not believe in me." For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him;

And there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying 'He is a good man;' others: 'No! he is leading the people astray.'

The man who speaks on his own authority seeks honor for himself; but the man who seeks the honor of him that sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.

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

So there was a sharp division among the people on account of Jesus.

As for you, you are children of your Father the Devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.

Not that I am seeking honor for myself; there is one who is seeking my honor, and he decides.

So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man; "What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?"

"Are there not," replied Jesus, "these words in your Law--'I said "Ye are gods"'?

Then Jesus again crossed the Jordan to the place where John used to baptize at first, and stayed there some time, during which many people came to see him.

And many learned to believe in Jesus there.

"Rabbi," they replied, "the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?"

"Are not there twelve hours in the day?" answered Jesus. "If a man walks about in the day-time, he does not stumble, because he can see the light of the sun;

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him."

A number of the Jews had come there to condole with Martha and Mary on their brother's death.

So the Jews, who were in the house with Mary, condoling with her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts: "What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?"

There a supper was given in honor at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.

Now great numbers of the Jews found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not solely on his account, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

If a man is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant shall be also. If a man is ready to serve me, my Father will honor him.

Father, honor thine own name." At this there came a voice from Heaven, which said: "I have already honored it, and I will honor it again."

Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, on account of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, for fear that they should be expelled from their Synagogues;

In my Father's Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.

When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples and crossed the brook Kedron to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples went.

The place was well known to Judas, the betrayer, for Jesus and his disciples had often met there.

So Judas, who had obtained the soldiers of the Roman garrison, and some police-officers from the Chief Priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing there, warming himself; so they said to him: "Are not you also one of his disciples?" Peter denied it. "No, I am not," he said.

There they crucified him, and two others with him--one on each side, and Jesus between them.

When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother: "There is your son."

Then he said to that disciple: "There is your mother." And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.

There was a bowl standing there full of common wine; so they put a sponge soaked in the wine on the end of a hyssop-stalk, and held it up to his mouth.

And there is another passage which says--'They will look upon him whom they pierced.'

At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly-made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

And so, because of its being the Preparation Day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying there, but did not go in.

Presently Simon Peter came following behind him, and went into the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there,

And perceived two angels clothed in white sitting there, where the body of Jesus had been lying, one where the head and the other where the feet had been.

After saying this, she turned round, and looked at Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

There were many other signs of his mission that Jesus gave in presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book;

So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not been torn.

There are many other things which Jesus did; but, if every one of them were to be recorded in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not hold the books that would be written.
