And if I asked you [who I am] you would not answer.

And they began to accuse him: "This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is 'Christ, a King.'"

And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

[and] said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, [when I] examined [him] before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which {you are making} against him

a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.

one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain [man] of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, [and] placed the cross on him, to carry [it] behind Jesus.

And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

while the people who stood looking on, and the senators themselves contemptuously said, he sav'd others; if he be Christ, the elect of God, let him save himself.

the soldiers too, who came to bring him vinegar, insulted him,

One of the criminals who were hanged there hurled insults at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

And one of the criminals who were hanged there reviled him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself--and us!"

When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home.

And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating their breasts.

And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these [things], stood at a distance.

And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

Because the women were so frightened and were turning their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking among the dead for Him who is alive?

saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men [who are] sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?"

Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.

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

Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

and of his being deliver'd up by our chief priests and magistrates to be condemn'd to die, whom they actually crucified:

But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,

and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.

And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, - and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,

who told them that the Lord had really risen and had been seen by Simon.

Thereupon the two disciples related what had hapned on the road, and how they first discover'd who Jesus was at his breaking of bread.

He is the One who was face to face with God in the beginning.

A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John.

HE was the true Light who came into the world, to enlighten every man.

He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

But as many as received him--to those who believe in his name--he gave to them authority to become children of God,

who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

So the Word became human and lived a little while among us, and we actually saw His glory, the glory of One who is an only Son from His Father, and He was full of spiritual blessing and truth.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."

no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is intimate with the father, hath made him known.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

Who art thou? and he confessed and denied not, and confessed that, I am not the Christ.

And they asked him, "Then who [are] you? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"

said they to him, who then art thou? that we may give an answer to those that sent us: what sayst thou of thy self?

He replied, "I am the voice of a man who is calling out in the desert, [urging people to] 'Make the road for the Lord straight,' as Isaiah the prophet said, [Isa. 40:3]."

Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

John answered them, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not; he it is who coming after me,

the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy {to untie} the strap of his sandal!"

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

this is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man, who was before me: for he did indeed exist before me.

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."

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.

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

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

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.

as likewise Jesus and his disciples, who were all invited to the feast.

His mother saith unto them who are ministering - Whatsoever he may say to you, do!

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

where he found in the temple those that sold oxen, sheep, and doves, besides the changers of money, who were sitting there.

And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.

Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him.

The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

for no man hath penetrated into the secrets of heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, who is in heaven.

so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat.

The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.

The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true.

for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains 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, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

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

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.)

Jesus answered her, if you knew the dispensation of God, and who it is that says to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

are you wiser than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, as well as his children, and cattle?

Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.

but anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will become a spring of water within him, bubbling up for eternal life."

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have, is not your husband: in that you said true.

You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.

But an hour comes, and now is, when the TRUE worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.

God [is] spirit, and the ones who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.

Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am he.

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:
