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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:

for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in this thou hast spoken true.

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

The woman saith, I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ): when he cometh, he will inform us of all things.

Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?

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.

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 a complaint of thirty years standing.

Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.

The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.

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.

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 beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.

And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.

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

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

Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.

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

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

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 them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten.

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 unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.

Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the prophets, And "they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore who heareth from the Father, and learneth, cometh to me.

Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it?

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

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast the words of eternal life.

The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who is seeking to kill thee?

Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

(Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Nicodemus saith unto them, (the same person who came to him by night, being one of their body,)

Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.

But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.

They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Assuredly the same as I am telling you.

Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?

They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.

Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.

And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.

And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we blind also?

My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand.

If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God?

(It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this?

She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there.

When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:

But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died?

Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him.
