for John was not yet cast into prison.

There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification.

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.

And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples),

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

And it was necessary [for] him to go through Samaria.

So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

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.

It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water.

You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain [i.e., Mt. Gerizim, which was visible from where they were sitting]; but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people should worship [God]."

And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

[So], the people went out from the town and came to where Jesus was.

While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

when he was come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the feast: for they likewise went to the feast.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

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,

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

Then he asked them what the [exact] time was when his son began to get better. They said to him, "[It was] yesterday at seven o'clock in the morning that the fever left him." [Note: This would have been

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.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, after he was come out of Jewry into Galilee.

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

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

In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, - blind, lame, withered.

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

They questioned him, "Who was it that told you, 'Lift it and walk'?"

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these [things] on the Sabbath.

But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

and they will come out [i.e., in the general resurrection on the last day]. Those who had done what was good will be raised [from the dead] to [never ending] life; and those who had done what was evil will be raised [from the dead] to judgment [i.e., to be condemned].

"You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.

he was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to be entertain'd for a while with his light.

For, had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for it was of me that Moses wrote;

And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.

Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

for it was just before the passover, which is a feast of the Jews.

{Then Jesus, when he looked up} and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these [people] can eat?"

(Now he said this to test him, because he knew what he was going to do.)

Philip answered Him, "Not even two hundred coins' worth of bread would be enough to feed them if everyone ate only a little bit." [Note: The amount here indicated was two hundred days of a farm laborer's pay, or about $14,000 in 1994].

[Then] one of His disciples, named Andrew, [who was] Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

but Jesus said, make the men sit down. and as there was much grass in the place, they sat down to the number of about five thousand.

The people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, cry'd out, this is of a truth that prophet who was to come into the world.

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:

And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew.

After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

then they readily received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they were bound.

On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone

though there came other vessels from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks: when therefore the people saw that Jesus was not there,

the people likewise seeing that Jesus was not in those barks, nor his disciples, went on board them, and cross'd to Capernaum in quest of Jesus.

Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He [who was with the Father and] who is from God; He [alone] has seen the Father.

Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.

When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?

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

that was why he said 'I tell you that no one is able to come to me unless he is allowed by the Father').

Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

And after these [things] Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.

And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding in Galilee.

Now the Jews were looking for him at the festival and asking where he was,

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

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

was it not Moses who gave you the law, and yet none of you observe that law?

This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

[Now] Moses gave you [the ordinance of] circumcision and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath day. (Although it was [first] required by [your] forefathers, and not Moses).

if to avoid the violation of the Mosaic law, a man be exposed to circumcision on the sabbath-day, are ye angry at me, because I cured a man, whose whole body was indisposed on the sabbath-day?

Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

I know Him Myself because I am from Him [I came from His very presence] and it was He [personally] who sent Me.”

They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.

Now, on the last - the great - day of the feast, Jesus was standing, and he cried aloud, saying - If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink:

But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

So there was a division in the crowd because of him.

thereupon Nicodemus, he that came to Jesus by night, and was then present,

This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. [Note: This was located on a slope just east of Jerusalem].

And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.

they said to him, master, this woman was actually taken in 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, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
