In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;

this one was in the beginning with God;

In him was life, and the life was the light of men,

that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.

He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:

John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'

for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,

this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:

On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,

He saith to them, 'Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;

And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;

And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

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

The Jews, therefore, said, 'Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'

when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men,

and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,

After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;

and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized --

for John was not yet cast into the prison --

and they came unto John, and said to him, 'Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'

(though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'

Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,

he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus saith to him, 'Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

the sea also -- a great wind blowing -- was being raised,

On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles --

and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?'

and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime -- committing adultery,

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

he answered and said, 'A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

They bring him to the Pharisees who once was blind,

and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

and he said -- 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,

and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,

And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'

The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'

and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'

And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
