All things received being through him, and without him not one thing received being which has received being.

That which came into being in him was Life; and the Life was the Light of Man;

A man came into being, sent from God, whose name was John.

He was not the Light; it was to bear testimony concerning the Light that he came into being.

He was in the world, and the world had its being through him, and the world knew him not.

On those who have accepted him, however, he has conferred the right of being children of God, that is, on those who believe in his Name,

[Eventually] this Word became a human being and lived among us [Note: The word "lived" here refers to pitching a temporary tent]. (And we saw His splendor; such splendor as belongs to the Father's only Son), full of God's favor and truth.

No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, the one being in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared him.

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

Then He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So, they went and saw where He was staying and they stayed with Him that day. It was about ten o'clock in the morning. [Note: Hour designations in this book are being calculated by Roman time, but this would have been

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

Nathanael saith to him, 'Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Before Philip's calling thee -- thou being under the fig-tree -- I saw thee.'

And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

for the Jews passover being nigh, Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Then the Jews said, Forty and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born?

Whoever is born from human parents is a human being; and whoever is born from the Holy Spirit is a spiritual being.

And none has ascended to heaven, except he having descended from heaven, the Son of man, he being in heaven.

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.

But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.

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

The One who comes from above [i.e., Jesus] ranks over all [others]; but the one who is out of the earth [i.e., of human origin] is [merely] an earthly [being] and he speaks in earthly [ways]. [But] the One who comes from heaven [i.e., Jesus] ranks over all [others].

the one being of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. The one coming from heaven witnesses what He has seen and heard, and no one receives His testimony.

but being obliged to pass through Samaria,

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

where a woman of Samaria being come to draw water, Jesus said to her, give me to drink.

Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

The woman told him, "I know that the Anointed One is coming, who is being called "the Messiah'. When that person comes, he will explain everything."

Already the person who is harvesting [the crop] is being paid for his work, and is gathering a crop for never ending life, so that the one planting and the one harvesting [the crop] may rejoice together.

This second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Some time after this the feast of the Jews being come, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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

He being sick answered him, Lord, I have no man, that, when the water was troubled, he might cast me into the pool: and in which I am coming, another steps down before me.

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

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

This made the Jews more determined than ever to kill Him, for not only was He breaking the Sabbath [from their viewpoint], but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

"Truly, truly, I tell you, the person who listens to my message and believes [in] the One who sent me [i.e., God] has never ending life [i.e., as a hope. See Titus 1:2; 3:7]. He will not be judged [and condemned], but has [already] passed from being [spiritually] dead to being [spiritually] alive.

Stop being surprised at this, for the time is coming when all that are in the graves will listen to His voice,

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

Then having gone about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and being near the ship; and were terrified.

But Jesus said to them, “It is I (I Am); do not be afraid.”

Not that any one has seen the Father, except he being from God, he has seen the Father.

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

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

And the Jews marveled, saying, How does this man know letters, not being taught?

When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?

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

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.

He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”

The Pharisees replied, "Are you being led astray, too?

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?

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.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

The one being of God hears the words of God: on account of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.

Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind before, now I see.

And those of the Pharisees being with Him heard, and said to Him, Whether are we also blind?

and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

During the winter, when the Festival of Dedication was being held in Jerusalem [Note: This was the Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Temple in BC after its pagan desecration by Greeks. It is still observed today by Jews as "Hanukkah."],

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

Then Thomas, which means, "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, so we can die with Him." [i.e., by being stoned to death with Jesus. See 11:8].

Then when Jesus came, He found him already being held in the tomb four days.

Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;

Then the Jews being with her in the house, and comforting her, seeing Mary, that she arose up quickly and went out, followed her, thinking that she goes to the tomb in order that she may weep there.

Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon.

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.'

upon this the chief priests and the Pharisees being assembled in council, said, what shall we do? for this man performs many miracles.

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

"You know nothing about it. You do not realize that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people, instead of the whole nation being destroyed."

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

now the passover of the Jews being nigh: the people of that country went in great numbers to Jerusalem before the passover, in order to purify themselves.

Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, of Simon, being about to deliver him up,

The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.

"Let her alone," said Jesus, "that she may keep it till the day when my body is being prepared for burial.

"Stop being afraid, people of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting upon a donkey's colt!"

Then the multitude being with Him witnessed that He called Lazarus out of the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead.

Now judgment is upon this world [the sentence is being passed]. Now the ruler of this world (Satan) will be cast out.

Now He said this to indicate the kind of death He was about to experience [i.e., of being lifted up on a cross].

However, even many [Jewish] leaders believed in Him, but did not admit it, for fear of being expelled from the synagogue.

For they loved the praise of human beings more than the praise of God.

And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

So if I, then, being your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you should wash one another's feet also.

The disciples began to look one at another, being at a loss concerning whom he was speaking.

Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus' shoulder, and asked him: "Who is it, Master?"

For some of them thought, since Judas was in charge of the [money] bag, that Jesus was telling him, "Buy whatever we need for the [Passover] meal," or that he was [being told] to give [money] to poor people [from it].

Then after Judas left, Jesus said, "Now the Son of man is [being] glorified [Note: Being "glorified" involved Jesus' crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. The first step of this had now begun]. And God is [being] glorified through the Son's life.

These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.

By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.

“I have told you these things so that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away.

And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

A woman, when she is in labor, has pain because her time [to give birth] has come; but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of her joy that a child has come into the world.
