and the Light shineth in darkness, but the darkness did not receive it.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."

he own'd it, and did not deny it; but made this protestation, I am not the Christ.

this is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man, who was before me: for he did indeed exist before me.

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

now fill out, said he, and carry it to the steward of the feast, which accordingly they did.

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

and when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that expression of his: and they believed the scripture, and what Jesus had said.

Now whilst he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the passover, many believed in him when they saw the miracles which he did.

but Jesus did not trust his person with them, because he knew them all.

and he did not want any information concerning man: for he knew of himself the secret of their hearts.

(though Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples) he left Judea,

Upon this his disciples came, and were surpriz'd at his conversing with the woman: yet none of them said, what did you ask her? or, why do you talk with her?

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, for that testimony which the woman gave him, "he told me all that ever I did."

when he was come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the feast: for they likewise went to the feast.

the nobleman said to him, sir, pray come down before my child be dead.

Jesus did this second miracle when he return'd from Judea to Galilee.

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.

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

for as the father raiseth up the dead, and restores them to life: even so the son gives life to whom he will.

I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.

The people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, cry'd out, this is of a truth that prophet who was to come into the world.

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,

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "he gave them bread from heaven to eat."

Jesus answer'd, I assure you, Moses did not give you the celestial bread; but my father gives you the true celestial bread.

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

this is that bread which came down from heaven: very different from that manna, which your fathers did eat but died nevertheless: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever.

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.)

for even his brethren did not believe in him.

the officers answered, never did man speak like this man.

they answered him, are you also of Galilee? search the scriptures, and you will not find that a prophet did ever arise out of Galilee.

and yet if I did judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with the father who has sent me.

but they did not perceive that he meant the father.

but now ye seek to kill me, the man who has told you the truth, such as I have learnt it of God: Abraham did not act thus.

Jesus said to them, if God were your father, ye would love me: for I was commissioned by God to come; I did not come of my self, but he sent me.

upon this said the Jews to him, now we plainly perceive you are mad. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and yet you say, if a man observes your doctrine, he shall never die.

are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? the prophets likewise are dead: pray, what do you then pretend to be?

thereupon they said to him, how did you come to your sight?

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.

they still urg'd the same question, what did he do to thee? how did he make you see?

I have already told you that, said he, and did you not hear it? why would ye hear it over again? have you likewise a mind to be his disciples?

Jesus talk'd to them in this figurative way: but they did not understand the meaning of his discourse.

they who have personated me, are all thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not follow them.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe me: the works that I do in my father's name, they testify of me.

and many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but every thing that he said concerning this man, was true.

then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

Lord, said Martha to Jesus, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me shall live even though he were dead:

Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

Jesus said, take away the stone. Martha, sister to the deceas'd, said to him, Lord, by this time he is offensive: for he hath been dead four days.

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

and he that was dead came forth, his body wrapt in a winding sheet: and his face bound about with a napkin. loose him, said Jesus, and let him go.

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:

For which reason he did not afterwards appear publickly among the Jews; but retir'd into the country near the desart, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

Six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and raised to life again.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

this passage his disciples did not understand at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, they remembred how they had mounted him, and perceiv'd that those words related to him.

the people that were present testified, that he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead.

But though he had done so many miracles in their presence, yet they did not believe on him:

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.

but the company at table did not know what he meant by saying so.

if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father.

but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you.

one of the servants of the high priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter struck off, said, did not I see thee in the garden with him?

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.

Jesus answered him, is it your opinion that I am, or did others give it you as theirs?

they said therefore among themselves, let us not rent it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: so that the scripture was fulfilled, which said, "they parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots." this was what the soldiers actually did.

then they came to Jesus, and finding that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

where stooping down he saw the linen clothes lying; but did not go in.

for as yet they did not understand from the scripture, that he was to rise again from the dead.

as soon as it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

Simon Peter therefore went aboard, and drew the net to land loaded with an hundred and fifty three great fish: and notwithstanding the number, the net did not break.

this was the third time that Jesus appear'd to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.
