John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,



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

They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes.


For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them in condemning him.







Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.

Yet even of the rulers many believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put of the synagogue; for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.

Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name work many miracles? And then will I declare to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Every one therefore who shall acknowledge me before men, him will I also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me. For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. read more.
No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.

This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him. They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. read more.
He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. They said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes? He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hear; why would ye hear it again? Are ye also inclined to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him, and said, Dost thou believe in the Son of man? He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, I believe, Lord; and he prostrated himself before him.

And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture declared to him the glad tidings concerning Jesus. And as they went along the road, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch saith, See, here is water; what is there to hinder my being baptized? (...)

And when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.

Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus. And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

for if thou shalt acknowledge with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation. For the Scripture saith, "Whoever believeth in him shall not be put to shame."




But they went out, and spread abroad his fame in all that country.

The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him as a beggar, said, Is not this he that sits and begs? Some said, This is he. Others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. They said therefore to him How then were thine eyes opened? read more.
He answered, The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash. I went therefore and washed, and received sight. And they said to him, Where is that man? He saith, I do not know. They bring to the Pharisees him who had once been blind. And the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the sabbath. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and I see. Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs. And there was a division among them. They say therefore to the blind man again, What dost thou say of him for having opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see? His parents, answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not; ask him, he is of age; he will speak for himself. This his parents said, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should acknowledge him as the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him. They therefore called a second time the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

No one when he has lighted a lamp, puts it into a secret place, or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that they who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is thine eye. When thine eye is clear, thy whole body also is in the light; but when it is disordered, thy body also is in darkness. Take heed therefore, that the light which is within thee be not darkness. read more.
If then thy whole body is enlightened, having no part dark, the whole will be as fully enlightened, as when a lamp with its bright shining giveth thee light. And when he had done speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at the table. And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not bathe before dinner. But the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inside is full of rapacity and wickedness. Fools, did not he who made the outside, make the inside also? But give what they contain in alms, and lo! all is clean to you. But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone. Woe to you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets. Woe to you, for ye are as tombs which are unseen, and men walking over them know it not. And one of the lawyers answering saith to him, Teacher, in saying these things, thou revilest us also. And he said, To you lawyers also, woe! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. So then ye bear witness to and approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and ye are building [their tombs]. Therefore the wisdom of God also said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute; that the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! because ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye have not entered yourselves, and those who were entering ye have hindered. And as he came out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very spiteful, and to press him to speak off hand about many things, lying in wait to catch something out of his mouth.

They answered him, We are Abrahams offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free? Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bondservant of sin. And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever. read more.
If therefore the Son make you free, ye will be free indeed. I know that ye are Abrahams offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you. I speak what I have seen with the Father; and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father. They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham. Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God. Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I proceeded forth and am come; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word. Ye are of your father the Devil, and what your father desireth ye are ready to do. He was a murderer from the beginning; and he abideth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of it. But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I speak truth, Why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth Gods words; for this cause ye do not hear, because ye are not of God. The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? Jesus answered, I have not a demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. But I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Truly, truly do I say to you, If any one keep my word, he will never see death. The Jews said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he will never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Whom dost thou make thyself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God: yet ye know him not; but I know him. And if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his word. Your father Abraham exulted that he might see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been. They therefore took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple.

They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes. read more.
