this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'

for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;

for John was not yet cast into the prison --

for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;

for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, 'How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.

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

but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

and said to the woman -- 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'

for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast -- for they also went to the feast.

he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

'For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things -- manifest thyself to the world;'

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.'

and the truth shall make you free.'

They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free?'

if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'

'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.

according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

The Jews answered him, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'

and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'

I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'

When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, 'Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'

the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'
