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

A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John.

HE was the true Light who came into the world, to enlighten every man.

He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

But as many as received him--to those who believe in his name--he gave to them authority to become children of God,

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.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."

no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is intimate with the father, hath made him known.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

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!"

said they to him, who then art thou? that we may give an answer to those that sent us: what sayst thou of thy self?

He replied, "I am the voice of a man who is calling out in the desert, [urging people to] 'Make the road for the Lord straight,' as Isaiah the prophet said, [Isa. 40:3]."

Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

John answered them, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not; he it is who coming after me,

the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy {to untie} the strap of his sandal!"

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."

this is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man, who was before me: for he did indeed exist before me.

I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit."

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

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 meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

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 seeing Nathanael coming, said of him, there's a true Israelite, in whom is no guile. how do you know me?

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!

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

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

And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.

Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him.

The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone 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.

for no man hath penetrated into the secrets of heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, who is in heaven.

so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat.

The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.

The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true.

for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains 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).

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her, if you knew the dispensation of God, and who it is that says to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

are you wiser than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, as well as his children, and cattle?

Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.

but anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will become a spring of water within him, bubbling up for eternal life."

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have, is not your husband: in that you said true.

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] spirit, and the ones who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.

Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee 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:

see a man who told me all that ever I have done: is not this the Christ?

Jesus said to them, "My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his work.

The one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, in order that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

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

And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.

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.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

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

For a heavenly agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had.

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty 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 were saying to the one who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!"

But he answered them, "The one who made me well--that one said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk!'"

then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk?

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

for as the father raiseth up the dead, and restores them to life: even so the son gives life to whom he will.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed 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.

Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

and they will come out--those who have done good [things] to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil [things] to a resurrection of judgment.

Of my self I can do nothing: according to my instructions I judge: and my judgment is just; because I do not consult my own will, but the will of the father who hath sent me.

there is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he gives 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, hath himself born witness of me. his voice you have never heard, nor ever seen his appearance,

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

how can you believe, who are catching at honour one from another, regardless of that glory that comes from God only?

don't imagine that I shall accuse you to my father: even Moses himself in whom you confide, will be your accuser.

And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, Here is a lad, who hath five barley-loaves and two small fishes:

there is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

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

Then Jesus took the bread, and [after he] had given thanks, he distributed [it] to those who were reclining--likewise also of the fish, as much as they wanted.

So they gathered [them], and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

The people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, cry'd out, this is of a truth that prophet who was to come into the world.

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, the work which God requires is to believe on him whom he hath sent.
