And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?

And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.

Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?

And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?

And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.

And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.

And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.

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.

Jesus saith unto her, What is that to me and thee, woman? my hour is not yet come.

and saith to him, Every man at first produces the good wine; and after men have drunk plentifully, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept back the good wine until now.

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.

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

this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony.

Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven.

that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction.

But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.

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.

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

He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony.

He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true.

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

AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.

The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?

The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may no more thirst, nor come hither to draw.

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:

The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye affirm, That the place where we ought to worship is at Jerusalem.

Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem.

The woman saith, I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ): when he cometh, he will inform us of all things.

Jesus saith unto her, I that am speaking to thee am he.

And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?

Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?

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

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Do ye not say, That yet there are four months, and then the harvest cometh? behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields; for they are now white for harvest.

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

For herein is the saying true, That one soweth and another reapeth.

I have sent you to reap that on which ye have bestowed no labour: others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labour.

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

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.

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

Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?

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.

He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

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.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.

in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

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

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

There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.

But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.

But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

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

Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.

AFTER these things Jesus went beyond the sea of Galilee, that is of Tiberias.

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?

Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel.

And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted.

When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world.

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

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.

Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God.

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God.

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

But I have told you, That though ye have seen me, yet ye have not believed.

Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.

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

Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came down from heaven?

Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he that is with God, he hath seen the Father.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die.

I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.

As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me.

This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity.

Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you?
