He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.

He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.

But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;

For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"

When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples recollected that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them.

In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject our testimony.

For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations."

Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages."

"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."

For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.

"If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.

There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.

And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.

For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."

"Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."

Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.

And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.

I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world."

This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"

It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.

It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil.

Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"

I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me."

The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."

A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner."

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.

I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand.

What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.

And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.

"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"

"It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.

Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.

A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I have loved you, you also may love one another.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth.

Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.

Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I have given you.

It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.

A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child being born into the world.

You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name He will give you.

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages.

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

"I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

"Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."

Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"

"So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."

That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, and has written this history; and we know that his testimony is true.
