There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of be coming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name;

And the "WORD became flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and of truth.

John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.

No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?

They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?

He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.

He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.

This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.

And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.

And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.

And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Be hold the Lamb of God.

What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher,) where abidest thou?

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;)

and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).

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

Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they have drunk freely, then that which is inferior; but you have kept the good wino till now.

Then answered the Jews and said to him: What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born?

That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit.

The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit.

And no man has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;

He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete.

He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all;

He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

The woman said to him: Sir, you have ho vessel with which you can draw, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

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

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.

Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

You worship you know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him.

God is spirit; and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to him: I know that Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming; when he comes, he will tell us all things.

Come, see a man who has told me all things that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?

Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

For in this is the saying true, One sows and another reaps.

and they said to the woman: We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is in truth the Savior of the world, the Christ.

Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.

And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives.

This is the second sign which Jesus did, when he came out of Judea into Galilee.

Now there is in Jerusalem, near the sheep gate, a pool, called, in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, with five porches.

The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

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

that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.

Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live.

For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself;

and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not worthy of credit.

There is another that testifies concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies concerning me is worthy of credit.

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

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

Philip answered him: Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each may take a little.

There is a lad here that has five barley loaves, and two little fishes; but what are these among so many?

And Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks, distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who had reclined; and in like manner of the fishes, as much as they wished.

Then the men, after having seen the sign which Jesus did, said: This is, in truth, the prophet that was to come into the world.

But he said to them: It is I; be not afraid.

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

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life for the world.

Then they said to him: Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all that he gives me, I shall lose nothing, but shall raise it up at the last day.

For this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How, then, does he say, I came down from heaven?

It is written in the- prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hears from the Father, and learns, comes to me.

Not that any one has seen the Father, but he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

I am the bread that lives, which came down from heaven. If any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The Jews, therefore, contended among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

for my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, even he shall live by me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever.

These things he spoke in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Therefore, many of his disciples, when they heard him, said: This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

It is the spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak to you are spirit and life.

Jesus answered them: Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Then Jesus said to them: My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.

But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

Then the Jews sought for him at the feast, and said: Where is he?

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: No; but he deceives the multitude.

Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

If any one will do his will, he shall know with respect to the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself.

He who speaks of himself, seeks his own glory; he who seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day.

Then said some of the men of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

and, lo, he is speaking boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers really learned that this is the Christ?

But we know this man, whence he is. But when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is.

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, as he was teaching, and said: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you know not.
