That which came into being in him was Life; and the Life was the Light of Man;

That was the True Light which enlightens every man coming into the world.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: "We have found the Messiah!" (a word which means 'Christ,' or 'Consecrated'.)

Then he brought him to Jesus. Fixing his eyes on him, Jesus said: "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Kephas" (which means 'Peter,' or 'Rock').

And, when the Master of the Feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from--although the servants who had taken out the water knew--

Afterwards, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of Scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.

"I have food to eat," he answered, "of which you know nothing."

I have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labor; others have labored, and you have entered upon the results of their labor."

When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.

This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.

It is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man; I am saying this for your Salvation.

But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John's; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out-- the work that I am doing--is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his Messenger.

How can you believe in me, when you receive honor from one another and do not desire the honor which comes from the only God?

The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.

When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said: "This is certainly 'the Prophet who was to come' into the world."

And after this they were glad to take him into the boat; and the boat at once arrived off the shore, for which they had been making.

"In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "it is not on account of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.

Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father--God himself--has set the seal of his approval."

"What sign, then," they asked, "are you giving, which we may see, and so believe you? What is the work that you are doing?

For the Bread that God gives is that which comes down from Heaven, and gives Life to the world."

Upon this the Jews began murmuring against Jesus for saying-- 'I am the Bread which came down from Heaven.'

I am the Living Bread that has come down from Heaven. If any one eats of this Bread, he will live for ever; and the Bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the Life of the world."

That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven--not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever."

"There was one thing I did," replied Jesus, "at which you are all still wondering.

On which Jesus said: "I shall be with you but a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.

(By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)

Is not it said in Scripture that it is of the race of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?"

"I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him."

Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then do not you believe me, if I am speaking truth?

"Go," he said, "and wash your eyes in the Bath of Siloam" (a word which means 'Messenger'). So the man went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.

I have other sheep besides, which do not belong to this fold; I must lead them also, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under 'one Shepherd.'

No one took it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This is the command which I received from my Father."

And seeing this, Jesus said: "I have done before your eyes many good actions, inspired by the Father; for which of them would you stone me?"

Then Jesus again crossed the Jordan to the place where John used to baptize at first, and stayed there some time, during which many people came to see him.

There a supper was given in honor at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.

Father, honor thine own name." At this there came a voice from Heaven, which said: "I have already honored it, and I will honor it again."

He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already--the very Message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last Day.

He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied round him.

He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.

I have honored thee on earth by completing the work which thou has given me to do;

And now do thou honor me, Father, at thy own side, with the honor which I had at thy side before the world began.

For I have given them the teaching which thou gavest me, and they received it, and clearly understood that I came from thee, and they believed that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.

Now I am to be in this world no longer, but they are still to be in the world, and I am to come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by that revelation of thy Name which thou has given me, that they may be one, as we are.

I have given them the honor which thou has given me, that they may be one as we are one--

Father, my desire for all those whom thou has given me is that they may be with me where I am, so that they may see the honor which thou has given me; for thou didst love me before the beginning of the world.

When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples and crossed the brook Kedron to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples went.

But Jesus said to Peter: "Sheathe your sword. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

The servants and police-officers were standing round a char- coal fire (which they had made because it was cold), and were warming themselves. Peter, too, was with them, standing and warming himself.

"What is Truth?" exclaimed Pilate. After saying this, he went out to the Jews again, and said: "For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.

Pilate again came outside, and said to the people: "Look! I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find nothing with which he can be charged."

When the Chief Priests and the police-officers saw him, they shouted: "Crucify him! Crucify him!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate. "For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged."

"But we," replied the Jews, "have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God."

And he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a scull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.

And there is another passage which says--'They will look upon him whom they pierced.'

At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly-made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

And the cloth which had been upon Jesus' head, not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up on one side, separately.

For they did not then understand the passage of Scripture which says that Jesus must rise again from the dead.

In the evening of the same day--the first day of the week-- after the doors of the room, in which the disciples were, had been shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said: "Peace be with you";

After which he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Master.

There were many other signs of his mission that Jesus gave in presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book;

"Bring some of the fish which you have just caught," said Jesus.

Jesus said this to show the death by which Peter was to honor God, and then he added: "Follow me."

There are many other things which Jesus did; but, if every one of them were to be recorded in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not hold the books that would be written.
