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."

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.

For God did not send His Son into the world to be its judge [i.e., to condemn it], but [rather] so that the people of the world could be saved [from condemnation] though Him.

For anyone who is in the habit of doing wrong hates the light, and to keep his actions from being reproved, he does not come out into the daylight.

Therefore a debate developed from John's disciples with the Jews about purification.

but John made them this answer, a man can have no authority, but what he derives from heaven.

He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all:

but I must decline. he that cometh from above, is above all: he that is from the earth, is earthly, and his language is likewise earthly: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, being a Jew, ask from me [water] to drink, [since I] am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

You are not greater than our father Jacob, [are you], who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?"

Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again.

But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever! In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life.”

"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."

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]."

ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is from the Jews.

But the time will come, and is now [actually] here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [i.e., from the heart] and truth [i.e., according to God's revealed will], for these are the people whom the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

Just about then Jesus' disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], "What are you looking for?" or "Why are you talking to her?"

They went out from the town and were coming to him.

You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”

And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.

And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

Jesus did this second miracle when he return'd from Judea to Galilee.

This verse ommitted from translation

But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away from the crowd in that place.

So Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these [things] also the Son does likewise.

that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who 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 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].

I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my [own] will, but the will of the one who sent me.

But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

"But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete -- the deeds I am now doing -- testify about me that the Father has sent me.

I receive not glory from men.

how can you believe, who are catching at honour one from another, regardless of that glory that comes from God only?

Jesus therefore having lifted up his eyes, and having seen that a great multitude comes to him, he says to Philip, From where will we buy loaves, so that these may eat?

One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him -

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

ON the next day, the multitude standing on the other side of the lake seeing that there was no other boat there except one, and that Jesus entered not into the ship with his disciples but his disciples had gone away alone,??23 but other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord gave thanks,??24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went into the ships and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

there came other barks from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks.)

our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "he gave them bread from heaven to eat."

Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!

for he who is descended from heaven, and gives life to the world, is the bread that is truely divine.

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

And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day.

And this is what [else] my Father wants: That every person who sees the Son [i.e., with the eye of faith] and believes in Him should have never ending life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day."

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

is not this, said they, Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how comes he then to say, I came down from heaven?

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.

but this is the bread which came down from heaven, that he who eats thereof should not die.

I am the living bread, that is come down from heaven: whosoever shall eat of this bread, shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

this is that bread which came down from heaven: very different from that manna, which your fathers did eat but died nevertheless: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever.

It is the Holy Spirit who [Note: The Greek word here is "that" instead of "who"] gives life [i.e., understanding the spiritual nature of Jesus' teaching can produce spiritual life]; the flesh is of no value [i.e., understanding Jesus' teaching only in a physical sense makes it worthless]. The words I have spoken to you are [from the] Holy Spirit and [they give] life.

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.

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.

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

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Jesus answered them - Did not, I, make choice, of you, the twelve? And yet, from among you, one, is, an adversary.

After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.

Nevertheless, no one spoke openly for him from fear of the Jews.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but [is] from the one who sent me.

If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

[Someone from] the crowd answered, "You have an evil spirit [in you]; who is trying to kill you?"

Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Well, if a male child undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath, to keep the law of Moses from being broken, are you angry with me for making a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

Then some of those from Jerusalem said, Is this not the one they seek to kill?

however, we know from what quarter this man comes: but when Christ comes it will be unknown whence he came.

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.

But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, [will he]?"

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

Then, [when they] heard these words, [some] from the crowd began to say, "This man is truly the Prophet!"

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

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

Certain, indeed, from among them, were wishing to seize him; but, no one, thrust upon him his hands.

Nicodemus saith unto them - he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them -

Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, [are you]? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!" [[

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.

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Therefore I said to you that you will die [condemned] in your sins. For unless you believe that I am [the Messiah, who came from above. See verse 23], you will die [condemned] in your sins."

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.
