Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as {you see that I have}."

And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

And He said to them, "These are My words which I spake to you, while being yet with you: that all things must be fulfilled, that have been written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms, concerning Me."

And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

But to all who have received him -- those who believe in his name -- he has given the right to become God's children

who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

and of his Plenitude have we all received, even abundant grace.

For while the law was given through Moses, spiritual blessing and truth have come through Jesus Christ.

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.

And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

Then He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So, they went and saw where He was staying and they stayed with Him that day. It was about ten o'clock in the morning. [Note: Hour designations in this book are being calculated by Roman time, but this would have been

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

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

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.

now when the wine was out, the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine.

And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

and said to him, 'tis usual to present the best wine first, and afterwards the worse, when the guests have drank pretty freely: but you have reserved the best wine to the last.

And said unto them that sold doves, "Have these things hence, and make not my father's house a house of merchandise."

Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

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

He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

I declare unto thee, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?

that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

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

But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

John [the Immerser] was also immersing people in Aenon, near Salem [Note: These locations are thought to have been in northeastern Judea, near the Jordan River], because there was a lot of water there; so people were coming to be immersed.

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him.

but John made them this answer, a man can have no authority, but what he derives from heaven.

You can bear testimony to me yourselves that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent as His announcer.'

It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend, who stands by and listens to him, is filled with joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. This joy I have felt to the full.

Jacob's [spring-fed] well was there so Jesus, tired from His [long] journey, sat down beside the well just as He was [i.e., before doing anything else]. It was about six o'clock in the morning [Note: This would have been

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her, if you knew the dispensation of God, and who it is that says to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

sir, said the woman, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then can you get that living water?

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

the woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, you were in the right to say you have no husband:

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

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

see a man who told me all that ever I have done: is not this the Christ?

Meanwhile Jesus' disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, [have something to] eat."

but he answered them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of:

The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”

You have a saying, have you not, 'Four months yet, then harvest'? Look round, I tell you; see, the fields are white for harvesting!

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.

Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I have done."

And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

now it is not for what you have said, that we believe: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the saviour of the world, the Christ.

for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.

Then he asked them what the [exact] time was when his son began to get better. They said to him, "[It was] yesterday at seven o'clock in the morning that the fever left him." [Note: This would have been

Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "This is the sabbath, you have no right to be carrying your mat."

After these [things] Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you."

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

for as the father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the son, to have life in himself;

let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good,

shall rise to the possession of life; and they that have done evil, shall rise to their condemnation.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

He was a burning, and a shining light; and ye would for a season have rejoiced in his light.

but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me.

and the father who sent me, hath himself born witness of me. his voice you have never heard, nor ever seen his appearance,

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

You search the scriptures, for you think by their means to have eternal life, and they are the very writings which do testify of me.

yet you will not come to me, that ye may have life.

I receive not honour from men, But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!

How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

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

If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?

Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little portion.

Then Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves that remained over from those who have eaten.

But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

Then would they have received him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the land whither they went.

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.

"How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?"

Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?
