In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

This Word was from the first in relation with God.

Everything came into being through this Word, and apart from Him not a single thing came into being.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask 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, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?

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

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

you have had five husbands, and he whom you have now espoused is not your husband. That was a true word."

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?

For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.

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.

And many more believed because of his own word;

because of his word, And said to the woman, We no longer believe, because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought him word saying, Thy child lives.

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

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

And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

They said, therefore, unto him - What, then, art, thou, doing, by way of sign, that we may see, and believe in thee: what art thou working?

Many therefore of his disciples having heard it said, This word is hard; who can hear it?

It is the Holy Spirit who [Note: The Greek word here is "that" instead of "who"] gives life [i.e., understanding the spiritual nature of Jesus' teaching can produce spiritual life]; the flesh is of no value [i.e., understanding Jesus' teaching only in a physical sense makes it worthless]. The words I have spoken to you are [from the] Holy Spirit and [they give] life.

And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose [all] twelve of you, and one of you is a devil?" [Note: The word "devil" means "adversary" or "opponent"].

His brethren, therefore, said unto him - Remove hence, and withdraw into Judaea, that, thy disciples also, may view thy works which thou art doing.

For, no one, anything in secret, doeth, and yet is seeking, himself, to be well-known. If, these things, thou art doing, manifest thyself unto the world.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

"If any one wills to do God's will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth."

The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

Just look! He is talking in public, and yet they do not say a word to Him! It cannot be that the authorities have really learned that He is the Christ, can it?

What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?

Some out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

Then the Pharisees said to Him, Thou art testifying concerning thyself; Thy testimony is not true. And Jesus responded and said to them,

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

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

and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

"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.

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

They answered and said unto him - In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.

Truly, truly, I say to you, He not coming in through the door into the court-yard of the sheep, but coming up from another place, he is a thief and robber.

And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd.

The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

If thou art the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus responded, I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.

The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.

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

So the sisters sent [word] to him, saying, "Lord, behold, [the one] whom you love is sick."

His disciples said to him: Rabbi, the Jews just now sought to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?

She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou wert here, my brother had not died.

When Jesus saw her and her Jewish friends, who had come with her, crying, He felt distressed in His spirit and [visibly] troubled [Note: This last word means to shake with emotion, and seems to have been caused by His deep sympathy for these grieving people],

"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

[So], they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting, "Hosanna [Note: See Matt. 21:9 for the meaning of this word], may He, the King of Israel, be praised, for He comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord!"

Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.

Now for all the Signs he had performed before them, they did not believe in him ??38 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what they heard from us, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

And, after the morsel, then, entered, Satan, into that man. Jesus, therefore, saith unto him - What thou art doing, do quickly!

Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you.

Thomas says to Him, "Lord, we know not whither Thou art going; how do we know the way?"

Jesus saith unto him - So long a time as this, have I been, with you, - and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us the Father?

In that clay you shall know that I am in my Father, arid you in me, and I in you.

Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him - Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

But now I am going away to Him that sent me, and yet none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? but because I have said these things to you,

His disciples say - See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.

Just as you gave Him authority over all mankind, He will give never ending life to all those people [Note: The Greek word here is neuter gender, "all those things"] you have given Him.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
