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.

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

the nobleman said to him, sir, pray come down before my child be dead.

go thy way, said Jesus: thy son is well. and the man believed what Jesus had said to him, and went his way.

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

then he enquired of them the hour when he began to mend: and they answered, yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

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.

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

rise, said Jesus to him, take up thy bed, and go your way.

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

then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk?

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

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

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

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.

for the father loveth the son, and sheweth him all that he himself doth: and he will shew him greater works than these, so that you will be surprized.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the son of man.

nor will his Logos abide among you: for tho' he hath sent him, you do not believe him.

I am come in my father's name, and you receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him you will receive.

where a great multitude followed him, invited by the miraculous cures which they saw him perform.

Jesus then lifting up his eyes, and seeing a great company coming to him, said to Philip, where can we buy bread to feed this people?

Philip answered him, two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient to furnish every one of them a little.

one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

but Jesus perceiving they designed to come and take him by force to make him a king, retired again upon a mountain all alone.

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

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

work not for the food which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, and which the son of man shall give unto you, for to him it is that the father, that is God, has given his credentials.

then said they to him, what shall we do, that our works may he agreeable to God?

Jesus answered them, the work which God requires is to believe on him whom he hath sent.

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

and the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this,

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Jews then murmured against him, for having said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

no man can come to me, except the father who hath sent me, conduct him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

it is written in the prophets, "they shall be all taught of God." every man therefore that hath heard the father, and been instructed by him, cometh unto me.

not that any man hath seen the father, except him who is come from God, he hath seen the father.

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

he that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

when many of his disciples, who heard him, said, this is strange doctrine, who can hear it?

but there are some of you who do not believe. (for Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who should betray him.)

and he said, therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my father.

From that time many of his disciples withdrew, and associated no longer with him.

meaning Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that would betray him, altho' he was one of the twelve.

After this Jesus resided in Galilee: for he would not be in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. now the

his relations said to him, retire hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples there may also see the works that you do.

for even his brethren did not believe in him.

during the feast the Jews were in search of him, and said, where can he be?

and the people were much divided about him: for some said, he is a good man: others said, not at all; but he seduces the people.

However, no body talk'd openly in favour of him, for fear of the Jews.

he that speaks from himself, has a view to his own glory: but he that has a view to his glory that sent him, deserves credit, and is a stranger to all imposture.

Jesus then pursuing his discourse in the temple, rais'd his voice, and said, you know both who I am, and whence I am: however, I am not come of my self, but he that sent me is worthy of belief, him you are unacquainted with.

but I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

then they design'd to seize him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

besides many of the people believed on him, and said, when Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?

(the Pharisees being inform'd what the people rumour'd concerning him, they and the chief priests sent their officers to seize him.)

then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me.

upon which the Jews said among themselves, whither will he go, that we cannot find him? will he go to the dispersed Jews among the Greeks, and instruct the Greeks?

In the last day, the most solemn day of the feast, Jesus being there, raised his voice, and said, if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

(but this he meant of the spirit, which they that believed on him, should receive: for the spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

so that the people were divided in their opinions about him.

and some of them had a mind to seize him; but nobody laid hands on him.

when the officers return'd to the chief priests and Pharisees, they asked them, why have ye not brought him?

have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?

they answered him, are you also of Galilee? search the scriptures, and you will not find that a prophet did ever arise out of Galilee.

but early in the morning he return'd to the temple, where all the people came to him; and being sat down, he instructed them.

they said to him, master, this woman was actually taken in adultery.

they said this only to ensnare him, that they might have some accusation against him. but Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

and as they pressed him to answer, he rais'd himself, and said to them, he that is without sin among you, let him be the first that throws a stone at her.

the Pharisees therefore said to him, you give a testimony of your self, your testimony is not valid.

then said they to him, where is thy father: Jesus answered, ye neither know me, nor my father: if ye knew me, ye would have known my father also.

Jesus delivered this discourse in the treasury, when he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.

then said they to him, what art thou? and Jesus answered them, I am what I just now told you.

I have many things to say against you: but I only say He that sent me is worthy of belief; and what I have heard of Him, that only I publish to the world.

he that sent me, is with me: the father hath not left me alone, for I always do what is agreeable to him.

upon this discourse many believed on him.

Jesus said therefore to those Jews who believed on him, if you adhere to my doctrine, then will you be my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth,

they answered him, we are Abraham's offspring, and were never slaves to any man: why then do you say, "ye shall be made free?"

they answered him, Abraham is our father. if you were Abraham's children, said Jesus, you would act like Abraham.

The Jews answered, and said to him, are we not in the right to say, that you are a Samaritan, and are really mad?

upon this said the Jews to him, now we plainly perceive you are mad. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and yet you say, if a man observes your doctrine, he shall never die.

yet ye have not known him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a lyar like you: but I know him, and observe his commands.

then said the Jews to him, you are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus was conceal'd by the crowd which he pass'd thro', and so got out of the temple.

and his disciples propos'd to him this question, master, was it for his own sins, or for the sins of his parents, that he was born blind?

it was not for any sin of his, said Jesus, or of his parents: but that the works of God might be displayed thro' him.

I must perform the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.

and said to him, go wash in the pool of Siloam (a word which signifies sent.) so he went and washed, and came seeing.

the neighbours therefore, and they who before had seen him begging, said, is not this he that used to sit begging?

this is he, said some; he is like him, said others: but he said, I am the man.

thereupon they said to him, how did you come to your sight?

then said they to him, where is he? I don't know, said he.

now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight.

the Pharisees therefore ask'd him likewise, how he had received his sight. he told them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and now see.

but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself.

his parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had agreed in this, that if any man did own him for the Messias, he should be excommunicated.

it was this made his parents say, "he is of age, ask him."

They therefore again call'd the man that had been blind, and said to him, in the name of God tell the truth: for we know that this man is an impostor.
