The same came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all men through him might believe.

He was in the world, and the world by him was made: and yet the world knew him not.

He came among his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to be the sons of God: in that they believed on his name:

John bare witness of him and cried, saying, "This was he of whom I spake, which though he came after me, went before me: for he was before me."

No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten son, which is in the father's bosom, hath declared him.

And this is the record of John: When the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, "What art thou?"

And they asked him, "What then? Art thou Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." Art thou that prophet? And he answered, "No."

Then said they unto him, "What art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thy self?"

And they asked him, and said unto him, "Why baptisest thou then, if thou be not Christ, nor Elijah, neither a prophet?"

The next day, John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, "Behold, the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

and I knew him not: but that he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptising with water.'"

And John bare record, saying, "I saw the spirit descend from heaven, like unto a dove, and abide upon him, and I knew him not:

But he that sent me to baptise in water, the same said unto me, 'Upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descend, and tarry still on him, the same is he which baptiseth with the holy ghost.'

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

And Jesus turned about, and saw them follow, and said unto them, "What seek ye?" They said unto him, "Rabbi," which is to say, by interpretation, "Master: where dwellest thou?"

He said unto them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he dwelt: and abode with him that day. For it was about the tenth hour.

The same found his brother Simon first, and said unto him, "We have found Messiah," which is by interpretation, Anointed.

And brought him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him and said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

The day following, Jesus would go into Galilee, and found Philip, and said unto him, "Follow me."

And Philip found Nathaniel, and said unto him, "We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets, did write: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth."

And Nathanael said unto him, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, "Behold a right Israelite, in whom is no guile."

Nathanael said unto him, "From where knowest thou me?" Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee."

Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, thou art the son of God; Thou art the King of Israel."

Jesus answered and said unto him, "Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest? Thou shalt see greater things than these."

And he said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending, and descending over the son of man."

And when the wine failed, Jesus' mother said unto him, "They have no wine."

and said unto him, "All men at the beginning set forth good wine; And when men be drunk, then that which is worse: But thou hast kept back the good wine until now."

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, "What token showest thou unto us, seeing that thou dost these things?"

and needed not that any man should testify of him. For he knew what was in man.

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher which art come from God. For no man could do such miracles as thou doest, except God were with him."

Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Nicodemus said unto him, "How can a man be born, when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb and be born again?"

And Nicodemus answered and said unto him, "How can these things be?"

Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

that none that believeth in him perish: but have eternal life.

For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only son, for the intent that none that believe in him should perish: But should have everlasting life.

For God sent not his son into the world, to condemn the world: But that the world, through him, might be saved.

He that believeth on him shall not be condemned. But he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he believeth not in the name of the only son of God.

And they came unto John, and said unto him, "Rabbi, behold he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold the same baptiseth, and all men come to him."

John answered, and said, "A man can receive nothing at all except it be given him from heaven.

Ye yourselves are witnesses, how that I said, 'I am not Christ: but am sent before him.'

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: But the friend of the bridegroom which standeth by and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this, my joy, is fulfilled.

He that believeth on the son, hath everlasting life. And he that believeth not the son, shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him."

Then the woman of Samaria said unto him, "How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan?" For the Jews meddle not with the Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said unto her, "If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is, that sayeth to thee, 'Give me drink': thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee water of life."

The woman said unto him, "Sir, thou hast no thing to draw it withal, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that water of life?

But whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: But the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

The woman said unto him, "Sir, give me of that water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."

The woman answered, and said to him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "Thou hast well said, 'I have no husband.'

The woman said unto him, "Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit, and in truth. For verily, such the father requireth to worship him.

God is a spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit, and truth."

The woman said unto him, "I know well Messiah shall come, which is called Christ. When he is once come, he will tell us all things."

And even at that point, came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said unto him, "What meanest thou," or "Why talkest thou with her?"

Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

And in the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, saying, "Master, eat."

Then said the disciples between themselves, "Hath any man brought him meat?"

Jesus said unto them, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me. And to finish his work.

Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, for the woman's saying: which testified, "He told me all things that ever I did."

Then, when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them. And he abode there two days.

and said unto the woman, "Now we believe not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is even indeed Christ, the saviour of the world."

Then as soon as he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, which had seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast. For they went also unto the feast day.

As soon as the same heard that Jesus was come out of Jewry, into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him, that he would descend, and heal his son: For he was even ready to die.

Then said Jesus unto him, "Except ye see signs and wonders, ye cannot believe."

The ruler said unto him, "Sir, come away or ever that my child die."

Jesus said unto him, "Go thy way, thy son liveth." And the man believed the words that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way.

And anon as he went on his way, his servants met him, and told him, saying, "Thy child liveth."

Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, "Yesterday, the seventh hour, the fever left him."

And the father knew that it was the same hour in which Jesus said unto him, "Thy son liveth." And he believed, and all his household.

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he now long time had been diseased, he said unto him, "Wilt thou be made whole?"

The sick answered him, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool. But in the meantime, while I am about to come, another steppeth down before me."

And Jesus said unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."

The Jews therefore said unto him that was made whole, "It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed."

Then asked they him, "What man is that which said unto thee, 'Take up thy bed and walk?'"

And after that, Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, "Behold, thou art made whole: see thou sin no more, lest a worse thing happen unto thee."

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.

And therefore the Jews did persecute Jesus, and sought the means to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his father and made himself equal with God.

For the father loveth the son, and showeth him all things, whatsoever he himself doeth. And he will show him greater works than these, because ye should marvel.

because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life: and shall not come into damnation, but is escaped from death unto life.

And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man.

Thereto, his words have ye not abiding in you: For whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

I am come in my father's name, and ye receive me not. If another shall come in his own name, him will ye receive.

And a great multitude followed him, because they had seen his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

Then Jesus lift up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, and said unto Philip, "Whence shall we buy bread that these might eat?"

This he said to prove him. For he himself knew what he would do.

Philip answered him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread are not sufficient for them, that every man have a little."

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

When Jesus perceived that they would come, and take him up to make him King, he departed again: into a mountain, himself alone.

Then would they have received him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the land whither they went.

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, "Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"

Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which meat the son of man shall give unto you. For him hath God the father sealed."

Then said they unto him, "What shall we do that we might work the works of God?"

Jesus answered, and said unto them, "This is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

They said unto him, "What sign showest thou, then, that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work?

Then said they unto him, "Lord, ever more give us this bread."
