this man came for witness, that he might testify concerning the light, that through him all might believe.

Of Him did John bare witness, and publicly declared, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?

This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me.

And I saw it, and therefore testified that this is the Son of God.

This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.

After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,

Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body.

his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.

He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true:

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst again;

The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true.

Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?)

and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ?

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what thou hast spoken; for we ourselves have heard Him, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

This is the second miracle that Jesus wrought, upon coming out of Judea into Galilee.

Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Wonder not at this; for the time is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

(and this He said to try him, for He knew what He was going to do:)

Therefore the people when they had seen the miracle that Jesus wrought, said, this is certainly the Prophet who was to come into the world.

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

Therefore said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that He hath given me, I should lose none, but should raise them up at the last day.

And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one who looketh attentively at the Son, and so believeth on Him, may have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said to one another, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we knew? How then does He say, I came down from heaven?

but this is the bread which cometh down from heaven,

I am the living bread, which came down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever. And the bread, that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give up for the life of the world.

The Jews therefore cavilled amongst themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat, and yet are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard Him, said, This discourse is hard to be understood, who can take it in?

But Jesus knowing in Himself, that his disciples were murmuring about it, said unto them, Does this offend you?

From this time many of his disciples went away, and walked no more with Him.

Go ye up to this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?

Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?

and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?

But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.

And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?

What is the meaning of this speech, that He said, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come?"

(This He spake of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive; for the holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this discourse, said, This is in truth a prophet.

Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of Galilee?

Never man spake like this man.

Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)

and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.

This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground.

And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from above: ye are of this world, I am not of this world.

And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was born blind.

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be manifested in him.

And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?

Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.

Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?

His parents answered them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.

but as for this man, we know not whence He is.

The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.

And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.

And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.

This parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to them.

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

For this doth the Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I may take it again.

None taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.

And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.

But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble; for he seeth the light of this world:

Dost thou believe this? She saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee.

but some of them said, Could not He, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that this man should not have died?

Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he is offensive; for it is the fourth day.

I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.

Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh many miracles.

This however he spake not of himself, but being high-priest at that time he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation:

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?

He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.

Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.

and for this reason the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle.

So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto life eternal.

Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour.

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

This He said, signifying what death He should die.

The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

Now before the feast of the passover, (Jesus knowing that his hour was come, when He should pass out of this world unto the Father, as He had loved his own, who were yet in the world, He loved them unto the end:)

But none of those that sat at table knew wherefore He said this to him.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; ---as I have loved you, that ye also love one another: for by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,

I shall not have much more conversation with you: for the prince of this world is coming; not that he hath any thing in me,

This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love hath no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends:

and of judgement, because the prince of this world is judged.

Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is the meaning of this that He saith to us, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me, and---because I am going to the Father?

they said therefore, What is this little while that He speaks of? we do not understand what He means.
