who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

"How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Now there were six stone water-jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.

There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.

and said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father's house a house of trade!

"Most solemnly I tell you we are speaking of what we know, and it is about that of which we were eyewitnesses that we give testimony. Yet all of you reject our testimony.

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

John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there were many streams there, and people kept coming to receive baptism.

Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.)

Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

"That man was the Lamp-burning and shining??nd you were willing for a time rejoice in his light.

A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,

and when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves??he broken pieces that were left after they had eaten.

After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;

Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.

So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,

when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled.

Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.

"Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before?

"Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him.

then he went too??ot openly, but as it were a secret.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?

Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?

"You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."

Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

"You are not acquainted with him; I know him. Were I to say, 'I do not know him,' I should be like you, a liar. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.

So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.

They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"

"If you were blind," Jesus answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, 'We see'; so your sin remains.

The Jews were again divided over these words.

Others were saying. "These are not the words of one demon-possessed. Can a demoniac open the eyes of the blind?"

"Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

because it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them, and beginning to believe on Jesus.

Now there were certain Greeks among those who had come up to worship during the Passover feast;

So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?

Now just before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come when he should leave this world to go to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, showed forth his love to the end.

(For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)

for some were thinking, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus meant to tell him, "Buy the things that we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

In my Father's house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?

"I have made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.

Now the slaves and the attendants were standing and warming themselves about a charcoal fire, which they had made because it was cold; and Peter also stood with them, and was warming himself.

Jesus answered him. "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants have fought hard that I should not be handed the Jews; but in reality my kingdom is not of such origins."

As he said this he showed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciple glad, when they saw the Lord.

A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood there among and said: "Peace to you!"

There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book;

There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

The rest of the disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore??nly about a hundred yards??ragging in the net full of fish.

When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

"Feed my sheep," said Jesus. "In solemn truth I tell you that when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands for some one to gird you, and carry you where you do not wish to go."

But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
