In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.

the same was in the beginning with God.

all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made.

the Life was produc'd in him, and the Life was the Light of men.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

he was not that Light, but was sent to testify of that light.

HE was the true Light who came into the world, to enlighten every man.

he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.

And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten son of the father, which word was full of grace, and verity.

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."

And out of his fulness have we all received, even grace upon grace. For the law was given by Moses,

the law indeed was delivered by Moses, but grace and truth was the dispensation of Jesus Christ.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;

And their next question was: "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor yet 'the Prophet'?"

John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

He it is that cometh after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose."

These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

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

I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

The next day after, John was again there with two of his disciples:

and looking at Jesus [as he] was walking by, he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"

come, said he, and see. so they went and saw where he lodged, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.

now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Three days after, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; where the mother of Jesus was present.

and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.

now when the wine was out, the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine.

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 said to him, "Everyone sets out the best wine first, and when people have had plenty to drink, he then sets out the poor quality [wine]. But you have kept the best wine until now." [Note: See Barnes Notes and The Gospel of John by Butler for evidence suggesting that this was not intoxicating wine].

thus was the first miracle of Jesus wrought at Cana in Galilee, by which he displayed his power; and his disciples believed on him.

And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.

"Destroy this temple," was his answer, "and I will raise it in three days."

to this said the Jews, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

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.

Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all,

and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews:

He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

After these [things] Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there.

for John was not yet cast into prison.

There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples),

He left Judea and returned to Galilee. (Although it was actually His disciples who did the immersing and not Jesus Himself).

And it was necessary [for] him to go through Samaria.

So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being about the sixth hour.

It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water.

You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain [i.e., Mt. Gerizim, which was visible from where they were sitting]; but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people should worship [God]."

And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

[So], the people went out from the town and came to where Jesus was.

While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

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.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

Jesus saith to him, 'Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

Then he asked them what the [exact] time was when his son began to get better. They said to him, "[It was] yesterday at seven o'clock in the morning that the fever left him." [Note: This would have been

so the father knew that it was at the very same hour, at which Jesus said to him, thy son is well. and he himself believed, and all his family.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, after he was come out of Jewry into Galilee.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's.

In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, - blind, lame, withered.

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

They questioned him, "Who was it that told you, 'Lift it and walk'?"

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.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these [things] on the Sabbath.

But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

and they will come out [i.e., in the general resurrection on the last day]. Those who had done what was good will be raised [from the dead] to [never ending] life; and those who had done what was evil will be raised [from the dead] to judgment [i.e., to be condemned].

"You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.

he was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to be entertain'd for a while with his light.

For, had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for it was of me that Moses wrote;

And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.
