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

Now the messengers were of the sect of the Pharisees, and they asked him,

these things were transacted at Bethabara, near Jordan, where John used to baptize.

as likewise Jesus and his disciples, who were all invited to the feast.

now there were six cisterns of stone plac'd there for the use of the Jews in their purifications, containing two or three firkins a-piece.

where he found in the temple those that sold oxen, sheep, and doves, besides the changers of money, who were sitting there.

and this is the subject of their condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

for his disciples were gone away to the city to buy provisions.

the woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, you were in the right to say you have no husband:

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?

so that when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired him to stay with them: and he stay'd there two days.

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

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.

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

then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were sate down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

when they were filled, he said to his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

so when they had rowed about five and twenty, or thirty furlongs, seeing Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, they were frightned.

then they readily received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they were bound.

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,

Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled.

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.)

and he said, therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my father.

but when his brethren were gone, he went likewise to the feast, not openly, but in secret.

during the feast the Jews were in search of him, and said, where can he be?

and the people were much divided about him: for some said, he is a good man: others said, not at all; but he seduces the people.

at which the Jews were surprized, saying, how came be acquainted with the scriptures, a man of no education?

so that the people were divided in their opinions about him.

they answered him, we are Abraham's offspring, and were never slaves to any man: why then do you say, "ye shall be made free?"

they answered him, Abraham is our father. if you were Abraham's children, said Jesus, you would act like Abraham.

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.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

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 answered, you were a vicious fellow from your very birth, and do you pretend to preach to us? and then they excommunicated him.

some of the Pharisees who were then present hearing this, said to him, are we likewise blind?

Jesus said to them, if you were blind, you would be excusable; but since you own that you see, you stand convicted.

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

for Jesus was not yet arrived in the town, but staid at the place were Martha met him.

the Jews then who were with Mary in the house to comfort her, when they saw that she rose in such haste, and went out, followed her, saying, she is going to the grave to weep there.

when they were in the temple, they enquired for Jesus, and said to one another, do you think he will not be at the feast?

The next day, a crowd of people that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,

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

there were certain Greeks, who address'd themselves to Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, saying, sir, we would fain see Jesus.

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.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus perceiving that his hour was come, when he was to pass out of this world, and go to the father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

while they were at supper, (the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) Jesus,

if you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you.

now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God.

I have displayed thy name among those whom you have chosen out of the world for me: thine they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept thy word.

now the servants and officers that were there, had made a coal-fire, for it was cold, to warm themselves: and Peter stood warming himself among them.

they answered him, if he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him to you.

Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, I should have had my guards to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews: whereas my kingdom is of another nature.

In the mean time the mother of Jesus, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene, were standing by the cross.

after this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

for these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "a bone of him shall not be broken."

The same day at evening, being the first day of the week, the doors of the house where the disciples were, being shut, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, peace be with you.

and when he had so said, he show'd them his hands and his side. the disciples were therefore extremely glad when they saw it was the Lord.

Eight days after, when his disciples were again in private, and Thomas with them: Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, peace be with you.

Simon Peter, Thomas, otherwise Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus were all together.

they answered him, no. and he said to them, cast the net on the right side of the vessel, and ye shall find. so they cast it, and it was so full of fish they were not able to draw it.

as for the other disciples, they came in the bark dragging the net full of fish, for they were but about two hundred cubits distant from land.

assoon as they were come to land, they saw fish frying upon a fire of coals there, and bread.

the other transactions of Jesus are so numerous, that if these were to be particularly descried, I imagine the world would be overwhelm'd with the books that should be written.
