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

Of Him did John bare witness, and publicly declared, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me.

and though no one hath ever seen God, or can see Him: yet the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, hath made Him known.

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

Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self?

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

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

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

Philip meeting Nathaniel, saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and of whom the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Jeseph.

And when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards Him, He saith concerning him, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile."

who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.

for He, whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure.

But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst 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 of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?

for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true.

Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He.

and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ?

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

And there was a man who had been under illness thirty eight years.

Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.

And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: even so the Son maketh alive whom He pleaseth.

but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.

And the Father who sent me, hath Himself borne witness of me: and yet ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

And ye have not his word abiding in you; because ye believe not Him, whom He hath sent.

How can ye believe, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?

Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

Therefore the people when they had seen the miracle that Jesus wrought, said, this is certainly the Prophet who was to come into the world.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him, whom He hath sent.

And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that He hath given me, I should lose none, but should raise them up at the last day.

And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one who looketh attentively at the Son, and so believeth on Him, may have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

No one can come to me, unless the Father, who hath sent me, draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Not that any one hath seen the Father, but He who is from God.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard Him, said, This discourse is hard to be understood, who can take it in?

But there are some of you that believe not: (for Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that believed not, and who would betray Him:

Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go?

For no man doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known to the world.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?

The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, ye say, and ye know whence I am: now I am not come of myself, but He that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.

Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)

Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.

Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.

but now ye seek to kill me, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say that He is your God.

And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was born blind.

He answered and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?

but how it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can speak for himself.

He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.

He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?

And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.

And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?

My Father who gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand.

And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void,)

do ye say of Him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

His sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

Dost thou believe this? She saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

but some of them said, Could not He, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that this man should not have died?

But Caiaphas who was one of them, being high-priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all;

Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He raised from the dead.

Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,

And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.

and went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.

that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.

Now before the feast of the passover, (Jesus knowing that his hour was come, when He should pass out of this world unto the Father, as He had loved his own, who were yet in the world, He loved them unto the end:)

who knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that He came from God, and was going to God,

He cometh therefore to Simon Peter among the rest, who saith unto Him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, Ye are not all clean.

I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen: but have done it that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me.

Verily, verily I say unto you, He that receiveth him, whom I shall send, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me.

The disciples therefore looked on one another, doubting of whom He spake.

Now there was one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, sitting next Him.

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him to ask, who it was concerning whom He spake.

And he, reclining on the breast of Jesus, saith unto Him, Lord, who is it?

Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it: and He dipped in a sop and gave it to Judas the Iscariot the son of Simon.

Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? as to the words which I speak to you, I speak them not of my self; and the Father who abideth in me, doth the works.

even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, because He abideth with you, and shall be in you.

He that doth not love me, doth not observe my words: and yet the word that ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who hath sent me.

But the comforter, that is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said unto you.

But when the comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, (even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father,) He shall testify of me.

and this is life eternal, to know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

I have manifested thy name to the men, whom Thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom Thou hast given me, for they are thine.

And as I am to be no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to Thee, Holy Father, keep by thy name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; I have preserved those whom Thou gavest me, and none of them is lost; except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
