but he that doth right, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, because they are agreeable to the will of God.

and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat.

It is necessary for that one to increase, but [for] me to decrease."

but I must decline. he that cometh from above, is above all: he that is from the earth, is earthly, and his language is likewise earthly: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

and what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; but his testimony doth no man receive.

he that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true.

he that believeth on the son, hath a right to everlasting life: and he that disobeys the son, shall not enjoy life; but be expos'd to divine wrath.

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

though that Jesus himself baptised not, but his disciples -

And it was so that he must needs go through Samaria.

he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

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

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?

are you wiser than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, as well as his children, and cattle?

Jesus answered her, they that drink of this water, will be thirsty again:

but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst: for the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a fountain springing up to everlasting life.

sir, replied the woman, give me this water, that I may never be adry, nor come hither to draw more.

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou sayest well, That I have no husband:

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

the woman said to him, sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

our fathers worshipped upon this mountain; and you say, that Jerusalem is the place where we ought to perform our worship.

Jesus said to her, woman, believe me, the time is coming when it shall be neither on this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem that ye shall worship the father.

Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

Yet the time is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Indeed, the Father is looking for people like that to worship him.

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

then said the woman to him, I know that the Messias (that is to say the Christ) is to come, and when he is come, he will tell us all things.

Jesus said to her, I that am talking with you am he.

And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

The woman then left her water-pot, and went to the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did:

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

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

So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"

Jesus said to them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

he that reapeth, receiveth wages, by gathering fruit unto life eternal: that the sower, and the reaper, may both rejoice together.

upon this occasion, that saying is verified, "one soweth, and another reapeth."

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

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, for that testimony which the woman gave him, "he told me all that ever I did."

so that when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired him to stay with them: and he stay'd there two days.

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.

And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.

(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.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

The ruler said unto him, "Sir, come away or ever that my child die."

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

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

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

so the father knew that it was at the very same hour, at which Jesus said to him, thy son is well. and he himself believed, and all his family.

This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.

After that there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

(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.)

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

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

he answered them, he that cured me said to me, take up your bed and walk.

then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk?

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.

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

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

And that was why the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because he did things of this kind on the 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.

upon which Jesus said to them, verily, verily I say unto you, the son can do nothing of himself, except he sees the father do it: for whatever he doth, that the son does likewise.

for the father loveth the son, and sheweth him all that he himself doth: and he will shew him greater works than these, so that you will be surprized.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.

And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man.

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.

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

there is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he gives of me, is true.

not that I need the testimony of men: but this I tell you, for your own security.

He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season 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 that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.

Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness 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.

for this I know of you, that you are not possess'd with any love for God.

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 can you believe, who are catching at honour one from another, regardless of that glory that comes from God only?

don't imagine that I shall accuse you to my father: even Moses himself in whom you confide, will be your accuser.

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

But if you do not believe that one's writings, how will you believe my words?"

After these [things] Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias).

And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?

Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

"There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what is that among so many?"

Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.
