And if I asked you [who I am] you would not answer.

And they began to accuse him: "This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is 'Christ, a King.'"

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

and said to them, “You brought this man before me as one who corrupts and incites the people to rebellion. After examining Him before you, I have found no guilt in this Man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

But they cried out again with all the multitude, saying, "Away with Him! and release to us Barabbas!"??19 one who, indeed, because of a certain insurrection made in the city, and of murder, was cast into prison.

(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in [to the city] from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

For a time is coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'

Two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be executed with Him.

while the people who stood looking on, and the senators themselves contemptuously said, he sav'd others; if he be Christ, the elect of God, let him save himself.

the soldiers too, who came to bring him vinegar, insulted him,

One of the criminals who were hanged there hurled insults at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home.

And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating their breasts.

And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

and as the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you looking for the living One among the dead?

saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men [who are] sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?"

Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.

But they were [miraculously ?] prevented from recognizing who He was.

The one named Cleopas answered Him, “Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”

And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

They answered him, "The events involving Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in what he said and did before God and all the people, and how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and had him crucified.

But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,

and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women had said, but they did not see Him.”

Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.

They got up that very hour and went back to Jerusalem, and found the eleven [apostles] gathered together and those who were with them,

saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon [Peter]!”

Thereupon the two disciples related what had hapned on the road, and how they first discover'd who Jesus was at his breaking of bread.

He is the One who was face to face with God in the beginning.

There was a man named John
who was sent from God.

The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world.

He came to that which was His own [that which belonged to Him—His world, His creation, His possession], and those who were His own [people—the Jewish nation] did not receive and welcome Him.

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—

who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, who is full of grace and truth.

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him .

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

Who art thou? and he confessed and denied not, and confessed that, I am not the Christ.

And they asked him, "Then who [are] you? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

He replied, "I am the voice of a man who is calling out in the desert, [urging people to] 'Make the road for the Lord straight,' as Isaiah the prophet said, [Isa. 40:3]."

The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed him.

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.

as likewise Jesus and his disciples, who were all invited to the feast.

His mother saith unto them who are ministering - Whatsoever he may say to you, do!

But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,

And in the temple [enclosure] He found the people who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables.

then to those who sold the doves He said, “Take these things away! Stop making My Father’s house a place of commerce!”

Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), we know [without any doubt] that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs [these wonders, these attesting miracles] that You do unless God is with him.”

the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.

that every one who believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;

but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'

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

He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled.

He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks as of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,

he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

(Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

He left Judea and returned to Galilee. (Although it was actually His disciples who did the immersing and not Jesus Himself).

The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;

but anyone who drinks the water I shall give him will never thirst any more; the water I shall give him will turn into a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes 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.

God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.

The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.

Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am he.

The woman then left her water-pot, and went to the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did:
