'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;

These disciples went to John and said to him, "Rabbi, look, that man who was with you on the east side of the Jordan River [i.e., Jesus], whom you testified about, is immersing people and everyone is going to him." [Note: Actually, it was Jesus' disciples who did the immersing. See 4:2].

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

(however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),

He left Judea and returned to Galilee. (Although it was actually His disciples who did the immersing and not Jesus Himself).

"You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep," she said; "where did you get that 'living water?'

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus saith to her, "Well did you say, 'I have no husband;'

our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'

Upon this his disciples came, and were surpriz'd at his conversing with the woman: yet none of them said, what did you ask her? or, why do you talk 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:

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

The disciples then said one to another, 'Did any one bring him anything to eat?'

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 what you did not work for; others have worked, and you have entered into their work."

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked Him to remain with them; and He stayed there two days.

and many more did believe because of his word,

Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

The royal official pleaded with Him, “Sir, do come down [at once] before my child dies!”

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

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.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

"Truly, truly, I tell you, the person who listens to my message and believes [in] the One who sent me [i.e., God] has never ending life [i.e., as a hope. See Titus 1:2; 3:7]. He will not be judged [and condemned], but has [already] passed from being [spiritually] dead to being [spiritually] alive.

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

For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.

Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

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.

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

For if you believed Moses' [writings], you would [also] believe in me, for he wrote about me. [See Deut. 18:15-19].

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

Then Jesus went up to a high plateau [Note: This place, northeast of Lake Galilee, is called "The Golan Heights," today] and sat down there with His disciples.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to those who were seated; the same also with the fish, as much as they wanted.

The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.

Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

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.'

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

And they said to Him, "What kind of a [miraculous] sign will you perform so that we can see it and [then] believe [in] you? What [kind of] deed will you perform?

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

And this is what God, who sent me, wants: That I should not lose any of those persons whom He has given me, but should raise them up [from the dead] on the last day [i.e., the judgment day].

For this is My Father’s will and purpose, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him [as Savior] will have eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.”

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him [giving him the desire to come to Me]; and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.

I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead:

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it], and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would deliver him up.

After this many of his disciples quit following him and did not accompany him any longer.

Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

For neither did his brethren believe in him.

But [afterward], when His brothers had gone up to the feast, He went up too, not publicly [with a caravan], but quietly [because He did not want to be noticed].

And the Jews marveled, saying, "How did this man get such learning, having never studied?"

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof.

For this reason Moses has given you [God’s law regarding] circumcision (not that it originated with Moses, but with the patriarchs) and you circumcise a man [even] on the Sabbath.

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'

and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- 'The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'

What did he mean by saying, 'You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?'

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?

The officers answered, Never did any man speak as does this Man.

did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

"Does our law pass judgment on a man before first hearing from him and learning what he did?"

They answered him, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search [the Scriptures], and you will see that no prophet will come from Galilee." [Note: They were probably referring to "the prophet" predicted to come by Moses. Deut. 18:15]. {{Most ancient manuscripts do not contain the section from 7:53 through 8:11, or else place it elsewhere in the book.

"Master, this woman was taken in adultery, even as the deed was a doing.

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'

And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

She replied, "No sir, no one did." Then Jesus said, "[Well], I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on, do not sin anymore."}}

and yet if I did judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with the father who has sent me.

Even in your law it is written [Deut. 19:15] that the testimony of two people is true.

So, the Jewish authorities said to Him, "Where is your father?" Jesus answered, "You people do not know me or my Father. If you [did] know me, you would know my Father also."

They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou -- who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

They did not realize [or have the spiritual insight to understand] that He was speaking to them about the Father.

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

They answered, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are [truly] Abraham’s children, then do the works of Abraham and follow his example.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Abraham did not thus. Ye do the deeds of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father [but He is not], you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God [out of His very presence] and have arrived here. For I have not even come on My own initiative [as self-appointed], but He [is the One who] sent Me.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

So they asked him, "How, then, did you gain your eyesight?"

"Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know.
