He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.

For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ.

it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptising.

This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed.

On the morrow John was again standing with two of his disciples;

He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

AND on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Then the disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up."

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.

and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.

For as yet John was not cast into prison.

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him.

And Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e'en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.

When therefore he was come into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things which he did at the feast: for they also had gone to the feast.

Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death.

And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered!

Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him.

Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.

AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.

And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath.

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.

The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?

Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the sea-side,

and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

And the sea was greatly agitated by a tempestuous wind that blew.

Then they desired to take him into the vessel: and instantly the vessel was at the land whither they were going.

The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone;

then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus.

Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven.

What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly?

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 the person was that should betray him.

Now he spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this man was ready to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

And a feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles.

And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people.

Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Then they sought to apprehend him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

(Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Doth not the scripture say, That the Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from the town of Bethlehem, whence David originally was?

There was a division therefore among the multitude on account of him.

They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up.

they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come.

Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away.

And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?

he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight.

(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)

Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?

His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings.

Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's portico.

NOW there was a sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

(It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days.

And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to him.

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat in the house.

Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot where Martha had met him.

When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died!

When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:

Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it.

Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me!

Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves.

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.

JESUS then before the days of the passover came to Bethany, where the deceased Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.

Therefore they made him a supper there; and Martha waited: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with him.

Then Mary taking a pound of unadulterated balm of nard, very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was preparing to betray him,

Wherefore was not this aromatic ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?

Now he said this, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and carried the money put therein.

Then the whole multitude of the Jews knew that he was there: and they came not for the sake of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

On the morrow a great multitude who came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

Then the multitude that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore their testimony.

these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
