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 no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

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.

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

After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

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.

So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

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

He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of 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 at this time John had not been put into prison.

Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

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

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

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.

One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

The man went away and said to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.

This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

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

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.

But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.

Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to 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?

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

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

Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:

But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.

Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.
