but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,

who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.

God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'

and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'

and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'

Nathanael answered and saith to him, 'Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'

and he saith to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'

and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.'

this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'

Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'

he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;

he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'

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

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have -- God;'

Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine,

Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

The Jews answered him, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;

out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus --

and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

Jesus saith to her, 'Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

And Thomas answered and said to him, 'My Lord and my God;'

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, 'The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, 'Be following me.'

to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.

Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'

And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

'Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;

this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay;

whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it,

a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne,

'This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses;

at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father -- he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.'

for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.'

praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.

and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;

and all the people saw him walking and praising God,

they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him.

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.
