then said they all, art thou then the son of God? you are in the right, answer'd he, for I am so.

then Pilate ask'd him, art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus answer'd him, 'tis as you say.

and finding that he belong'd to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was then likewise at Jerusalem.

When Herod saw Jesus he was extremely pleased; for he had long desired to see him, having heard much of him, and hoped to see him perform some miracle.

you have represented this man to me as one that was stirring up the people to a revolt: you see I have examin'd him in your presence; yet I don't find he is guilty of the crimes you have laid to his charge: no, nor even Herod;

for I referr'd you to him, and you see nothing that is capital, has been made out against him.

however he urg'd it a third time, why, what crime has he done? I don't find he has done any thing that deserves death: I will therefore order him to be whipp'd, and so dismiss him.

he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign.

the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of.

yet Peter got up, and ran to the sepulchre, where stooping down he saw nothing but the linnen lying there: upon which he went away wondring with himself at such an event.

but their eyes were affected so as not to discern who he was.

and he said to them, what is the subject of your debate in the way, and why do you look so sad?

one of them, Cleopas by name, reply'd, are you such a stranger in Jerusalem as not to know what has so lately happen'd there?

whereupon some of us went to the sepulchre, and found matters just as the women had related; but him they did not see.

but they press'd him, saying, stay with us, for it is late and begins to be dark. so he went in to tarry with them.

but they were in a consternation and fright, imagining, that they saw a spirit.

upon which he said to them, why are you in this confusion? what is it, that your minds are so perplex'd?

behold my hands, and my feet. for I am bodily present, touch me and consider me; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have:

but as they were diffident of so joyful an event, and still in amaze, he said to them, have you any thing here to eat?

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."

and John testified, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit."

this I saw, and testify'd, that he is the son of God.

then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, said, what do you seek? they answered him, rabbi, that is to say master, where do you dwell?

come, said he, and see. so they went and saw where he lodged, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

but Nathanael said to him, can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? come and see, said Philip.

Jesus seeing Nathanael coming, said of him, there's a true Israelite, in whom is no guile. how do you know me?

said Nathanael to him. before Philip called you, replied Jesus, I saw you under the fig-tree.

Jesus answered him, because thou believest what I said, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou shalt see greater things than these.

and he said to him, I declare unto you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending, and descending upon the son of man.

these Jesus order'd the waiters to fill with water. so they filled them up to the brim.

away with these things; make not my father's house a market-house.

Now whilst he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the passover, many believed in him when they saw the miracles which he did.

Jesus answered him, I declare unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

but as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up:

for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

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.

Now there happen'd to be a dispute about baptism between a Jews, and some of John's disciples:

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being about the sixth hour.

the woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, you were in the right to say you have no husband:

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

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.

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

so they went out of the city, and came to him.

is it not a common saying, "t'other four months, and then comes harvest?" lift up your eyes now, I say, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

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

but Jesus said to him, except you see signs and miracles, you will not believe.

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.

now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's.

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

But Jesus answered them, my father works without intermission, and so do I.

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.

for as the father raiseth up the dead, and restores them to life: even so the son gives life to whom he will.

for as the father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the son, to have life in himself;

I am come in my father's name, and you receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him you will receive.

but if you don't believe what he has writ, how should you believe what I say?

At length Jesus passed over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias;

where a great multitude followed him, invited by the miraculous cures which they saw him perform.

one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

there is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

When even was come, his disciples went to the sea, and going on board a ship,

they cross'd the sea to Capernaum: now when it was dark, Jesus was not come to them:

but the sea ran high, by reason of the wind that blew hard.

so when they had rowed about five and twenty, or thirty furlongs, seeing Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, they were frightned.

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however,

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled.

but said they, what miracle then will you let us see to make us believe you? what strange work will you perform?

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

is not this, said they, Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how comes he then to say, I came down from heaven?

as the father who is the source of life hath sent me, and I live by the father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

what if you should see the son of man ascend up where he was before?

his relations said to him, retire hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples there may also see the works that you do.

so that the people were divided in their opinions about him.

but they who heard that, being convicted by their own conscience, they all went old and young one after another, so that Jesus was left alone with the woman, who still kept her place.

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

I have many things to say against you: but I only say He that sent me is worthy of belief; and what I have heard of Him, that only I publish to the world.

they answered him, we are Abraham's offspring, and were never slaves to any man: why then do you say, "ye shall be made free?"

I know you are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my doctrine doth not penetrate into you.

they answered him, Abraham is our father. if you were Abraham's children, said Jesus, you would act like Abraham.

which of you can convict me of sin? if then I say the truth, why don't you believe me?

The Jews answered, and said to him, are we not in the right to say, that you are a Samaritan, and are really mad?

verily, verily, I say unto you, whoever observes my doctrine, shall never die.

upon this said the Jews to him, now we plainly perceive you are mad. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and yet you say, if a man observes your doctrine, he shall never die.

Jesus answered, if I honour'd my self, my honour would be vain: it is my father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God.

yet ye have not known him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a lyar like you: but I know him, and observe his commands.

your father Abraham long'd to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Jesus said to them, verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was I AM.

then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus was conceal'd by the crowd which he pass'd thro', and so got out of the temple.

As Jesus passed by, he saw a man that was born blind.

and said to him, go wash in the pool of Siloam (a word which signifies sent.) so he went and washed, and came seeing.

he answered, a man call'd Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: I went, and washed, and so I saw.

the Pharisees therefore ask'd him likewise, how he had received his sight. he told them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and now see.

they therefore question'd the blind man again, what do you say of the man that made you see? he is a prophet, said he.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

and ask'd them, is this your son, who you say was born blind? how came it then that he now sees?

but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself.
