John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.

And from his fullness have we all received, even grace for grace;

for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.

This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.

And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

And his disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house has eaten me up.

and had no need that any one should testify of man, for he himself knew what was in man.

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.

For every one that does evil, hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

for John had not yet been thrown into prison.

You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.

For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.

You worship you know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him.

Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest.

And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for life eternal; that he that sows, and he that reaps, may rejoice together.

For in this is the saying true, One sows and another reaps.

and they said to the woman: We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is in truth the Savior of the world, the Christ.

for Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

Therefore, when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, because they had seen all things that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast; for they them selves had gone to the feast.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and restore his son to health, for he was about to die.

In these lay a great multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered, who waited for the moving of the water.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and stirred the water. Then he who entered first after the motion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

But he that had been restored to health knew not who he was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, because a multitude was in the place.

And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.

Then Jesus answered and said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever things he does, these also the Son does in like manner.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works than these, that you may be astonished.

For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son;

For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself;

Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.

But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

And his word you have not remaining in you; for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was about to do.

Philip answered him: Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each may take a little.

Labor not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to life eternal, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father at tested.

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life for the world.

For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

For this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

I am the bread that lives, which came down from heaven. If any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

for my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

But there are some among you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.

And he said: For this reason I said to you: No one can come to me unless it be given him from my Father.

He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

And after this Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

for no one does any thing in secret, while he himself seeks to be before the public. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.

For neither did his brothers believe on him.

Then the Jews sought for him at the feast, and said: Where is he?

However, no one spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe on him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Jesus answered and said to them: Though I testify concerning myself, my testimony is worthy of credit; for I know whence I came, and whither I go. But you know not whence I came, and whither I go.

Therefore said I to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am, He, you shall die in your sins.

and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

They answered him: We are the posterity of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How say you, You shall be made free?

Therefore, if the Son make you free, you shall be free indeed.

Jesus said to them: If God were your father, you would love me; for I came forth from God and have come hither; nor, indeed, did I come of myself, but he sent me.

You are of your father, the devil; and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the be ginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks that which is false, he speaks from what is his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

He that is of God, hears God's words. For this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.

Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them?

but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself.

His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him.

They said to him again: "What did he for you? How did he open your eyes?

We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind.

And when he puts his own sheep out, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.

And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.

As the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

For this reason, my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.

Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me?

The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God.

But when Jesus heard it, he said: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God may be glorified.

Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks during the day,, he does not stumble, for he sees the light of this world.

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had already been four days in the tomb.

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying: The Teacher has come, and calls for you.

Jesus said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him: Lord, the body is offensive; for he has been dead four days.

I know, in deed, that thou dost always hear me. But for the sake of the multitude who stand around me, I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

nor do you consider that it is profitable for us, that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.

But this he did not speak of himself; but being chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;

and not for the nation only, but that he should gather into one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple: What think you, that he will not come to the feast?

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

But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it.

Then Jesus said: Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of my burial.

For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king comes, sitting on the colt of an ass.

For this reason, also, the multitude met him, be cause they had heard that he had done this sign.
