John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."

They were Pharisees who had been sent.

This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'

Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.

The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit."

But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been done in God.

"A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to him from Heaven.

When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.

And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"

That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."

But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.

they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.

Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything of books," they said, "although he has never been at any of the schools?"

He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

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.

"Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.

"We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, 'You shall become free'?"

As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

They brought him to the Pharisees--the man who had been blind.

The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him--that he had been blind and had obtained his sight--until they called his parents and asked them,

A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner."

Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.

"Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"

On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.

So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.

Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.

The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.

The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."

in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"

"Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, 'Cause us to see the Father'?

But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled which stands written in their Law, 'They have hated me without any reason.'

And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the first.

I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.

"You would have had no power whatever over me," replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more guilty than you are."

Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.

There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.

On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it.

and the towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself.

Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced.

and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been.

But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, you may have Life through His name.

This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.
