But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there; and people were coming and were being baptized—

John's answer was--"A man can gain nothing but what is given him from Heaven.

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

The One who comes from above [i.e., Jesus] ranks over all [others]; but the one who is out of the earth [i.e., of human origin] is [merely] an earthly [being] and he speaks in earthly [ways]. [But] the One who comes from heaven [i.e., Jesus] ranks over all [others].

What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaiming the Father’s own message]; for God gives the [gift of the] Spirit without measure [generously and boundlessly]!

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

but his disciples) He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

But he had to pass through Samaria.

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one ought to worship is in Jerusalem [at the temple].”

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.

But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.

I have sent you to reap a harvest which you have not labored to make. Other men have labored, but you have reaped the results of their labors."

But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

But far more came to believe in him on account of what he said himself,

And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee,

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

But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought him word saying, Thy child lives.

But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked.

Now that day was the Sabbath.

But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

and they will come out--those who have done good [things] to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil [things] to a resurrection of judgment.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

[But] there is Someone else [i.e., God] who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony He gives about me is true.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

The Father who sent me has also borne testimony to me himself; but his voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,

You search the scriptures, imagining you possess eternal life in their pages ??and they do testify to me ??40 but you refuse to come to me for life.

and still you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

"I am not receiving honor from men, but I know you,

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [because your minds are closed]; but if another comes in his own name and with no authority or power except his own, you will receive him and give your approval to an imposter.

How can you believe [in me] when you [offer and] accept honors from one another, but do not try to obtain the honor that comes from the only God?

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.

but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

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

But Jesus said: Make die men recline. Now, there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, in number about five thousand.

But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him King, retired again up the hill, quite alone.

But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.

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

But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

(but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)

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.

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

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

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

Not that any one has seen the Father, but he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died;

This is the Bread that comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

But the Jews kept on wrangling with one another and saying, "How can He give us His flesh to eat?"

but Jesus answer'd, I assure you, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye will have no life in you.

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 Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

But Simon Peter answered: "Master, to whom shall we go? Immortal Life is in your teaching;

But he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for it was he who was about to betray Him, being one of the Twelve.

But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching.

So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.

For no man doth any thing in secret, but desireth to be publickly known: if thou dost these things, shew thyself to the world.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

You men go [on] up to the festival, but I am not going up yet [Note: Although "yet" appears in only a few manuscripts, it seems to be the proper idea here], because my time has not yet come. [See verse 6].

After saying this, he remained in Galilee; but after his brothers had gone up to feast,

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

Yet no one was speaking out openly and freely about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

But if a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
