He is the One who was face to face with God in the beginning.

There was a man named John
who was sent from God.

The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world.

He came to His own possessions, and those who were His own received Him not.

But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name:

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

So the Word became human and lived a little while among us, and we actually saw His glory, the glory of One who is an only Son from His Father, and He was full of spiritual blessing and truth.

John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?

Who art thou? and he confessed and denied not, and confessed that, I am not the Christ.

And they asked him, "Then who [are] you? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"

Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?

He said, "I am a voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as said the prophet Isaiah."

And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.

John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known;

it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world,

This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed.

And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.

One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

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

Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile!

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.

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

His mother saith unto them who are ministering - Whatsoever he may say to you, do!

And when the president of the table had tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it came: (but the waiters knew, who drew the water;) the president of the table called the bridegroom,

And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers seated:

and said to those who sold doves, Take these hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

Now there was a man named Nicodemus, who belonged to the party of the Pharisees and was a leader among the Jews.

who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not from whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth: just so is every one who is born of the Spirit.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

And yet no one has gone up into heaven except the Son of Man who came down out of heaven.

that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal.

The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

For anyone who is in the habit of doing wrong hates the light, and to keep his actions from being reproved, he does not come out into the daylight.

But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him.

It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all.

He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.

He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

(Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

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

The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one who drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

but anyone who drinks the water I shall give him will never thirst any more; the water I shall give him will turn into a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.

You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.

But an hour comes, and now is, when the TRUE worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.

God is a Spirit: and they who worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to Him, "I know that the Messiah is coming, the One who is called the Christ. When He comes, He will tell us everything."

Jesus said to her, "I, the very one who is talking to you, am He!"

The woman then left her water-pot, and went to the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did:

"Come, see a man who has told me everything I ever did. He is not the Christ, is He?"

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work.

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

For in this [instance] the saying is true, 'It is one who sows and another who reaps.'

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

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.

When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

In these were lying a large number of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed.

For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.

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

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."

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.

They asked him, Who is the man that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

And the sick man knew not who it was; for Jesus had gone away, a multitude being in that place.

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well;

For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,

and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.

I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

There is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true.

but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me.

and the Father who sent me, he has testified of me. You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form;

and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.

And a vast multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on those who were diseased.

One of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, told him,

There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for so many?

"Make the people sit down," said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the men, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,

And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose.

Then they collected, and filled twelve traveling-baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over to those who had eaten.

Then the men, seeing what a miracle Jesus had performed, said, This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world.

The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone;

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God; to believe on him whom he has sent.
