IN the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD. was with God, and the WORD was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

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

He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.

He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

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

These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.

Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.

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.

One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

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

And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.

When the governor of the feast had tasted the water that had been made wine, (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants that had drawn the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him:

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

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

Then the Jews said to him: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rebuild it in three days?

"When, therefore, he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had spoken.

And while he was in Jerusalem, during the feast of passover, many believed on his name, because they saw the signs that he did.

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

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed;

And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.

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

And it was necessary that he should go through Samaria.

And Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.

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.

And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives.

Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was restored to health. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

Then his father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself, and all his house, believed.

After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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.

And a certain man was there, who had been sick thirty-eight years.

And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

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.

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health.

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.

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

And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

Then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?

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

But Jesus said: Make die men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, in number about five thousand.

Then the men, after having seen the sign which Jesus did, said: This is, in truth, the prophet that was to come into the world.

and, having entered the ship, went across the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that was blowing.

Then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.

Then, what if you should see the Son of man go up where he was before?

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.

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

Now the feast of tabernacles, a feast of the Jews, was near.

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: No; but he deceives the multitude.

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, as he was teaching, and said: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you know not.

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

So there was a division among the multitude because of him.

and said to him: Teacher, this woman was detected in adultery; in the very act.

But having heard him, and being convicted by their conscience, they went out, one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

They knew not that he was speaking to them of the Father.

While he was speaking these words, many believed on him.

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.

Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he could see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, before Abraham came into being, I was.

And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; which, translated, means Sent. He went, therefore, and washed and came seeing.

Then his neighbors, and those who had before seen him, that he was blind, said: Is not this he that sat and begged?

He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight.

And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

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?

and asked them, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see?

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

Again, therefore, there was a division among the Jews, on account of these words.

And the feast of the dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was winter:

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void,)

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

It was the Mary that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he still remained two days in the place where he was.

And I rejoice, on your account, that I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him.

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.

Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary sat still in the house.

She said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.

Then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews that came with her weeping also, he was greatly moved in spirit, and troubled;

Then Jesus, again greatly moved within himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was laid against it.

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.

And he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound around with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing,

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 the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up from the country to Jerusalem, before the passover, to purify themselves.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should inform them, that they might take him.

Then, six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.

There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.

Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.

Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to deliver him up:

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