he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

a birth which they had not from circumcision, nor from the constitution of the body, nor the institution of man, but from God.

The Logos became incarnate, and had his tabernacle among us, being full of grace and truth; and we contemplated his glory, such glory as the Monogenes derived from the father.

For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].

And they had been sent from the Pharisees.

I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

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 day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

Nathaniel replied to him, "Can anything worthwhile come from Nazareth?" [Note: Nazareth had a bad reputation and Jewish writings made no prediction of a prophet coming from that area. See John 7:52]. Philip answered him, "Come and see."

Jesus answered, "You believe because I told you I had seen you under that fig tree? You shall see more than that."

and Jesus and His disciples had been invited to it also.

When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained 20 or 30 gallons.

And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added: "Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the Feast." The servants did so.

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,

And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

His disciples remembered that it had been written, "Zeal for Thy house will eat Me up,"

But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this;

and when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that expression of his: and they believed the scripture, and what Jesus had said.

But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

Jesus therefore knowing the Pharisees had heard that he made more disciples, and baptized more than John,

And He had to go through Samaria.

Now he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

(For his disciples had gone away into the town so that they could buy food.)

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

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

At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”

Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?

I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

(tho' Jesus himself had declared, that a prophet is not honoured in his own country.)

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.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

go thy way, said Jesus: thy son is well. and the man believed what Jesus had said to him, and went his way.

So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's.

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

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!"

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.

Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and said to him, "Look, you have been made well; stop sinning or else something worse [i.e., than the handicap you had] will happen to you."

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

And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on sabbath.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

and they will come out [i.e., in the general resurrection on the last day]. Those who had done what was good will be raised [from the dead] to [never ending] life; and those who had done what was evil will be raised [from the dead] to judgment [i.e., to be condemned].

nor had his word dwelling within you, because you do not believe him whom he sent.

for had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: since he has spoke of me in his writings.

And a great multitude followed him, because they had seen his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.

(this he said to prove Philip: for he himself knew what he had to do.)

then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were sate down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

they gathered them therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained after they all had been eating.

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.

And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea,

and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

Then the water became choppy because of a strong wind that had begun to blow.

so when they had rowed about five and twenty, or thirty furlongs, seeing Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, they were frightned.

They were willing, therefore, to receive him into the boat; and, straightway, the boat was at land, whither they had been slowly going.

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,

there came other barks from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks.)

after the Lord had given thanks) When they saw, that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also went aboard the vessels, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled.

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

So the Jews, [who were assembled in the synagogue. See verse 59] began complaining about Jesus because He had said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; Who can abide the hearing of it?"

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

For even his brothers had no belief in him.

And [when he] had said these [things], he remained in Galilee.

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

Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, "How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?"

Then Moses gave you the rite of circumcision -- not that it had its origin with Moses but with your earlier forefathers -- and you circumcise a male child even on the Sabbath.

So they were seeking to seize him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

Therefore, many of the multitude, when they had heard this word, said: This is, in truth, the prophet.

and some of them had a mind to seize him; but nobody laid hands on him.

Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?”

Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

Early the next morning, He had come into the temple again, and all the people were gathering around Him. Having sat down, He began to teach them.

then the Scribes and Pharisees brought a woman surprized in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle of the assembly,

And when they heard [what He had said], they [all] left, one at a time, beginning with the oldest men. So, Jesus was left alone with the woman [still standing] there where she was.

When Jesus had lifted up himself again, and saw no man, but the woman; He said unto her, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?"

So they were saying to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also."
