34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 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 4dwellest thou?

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day for it was about the 5 tenth hour.

40 One of the two which heard

John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

43 T The day following, Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Water turned into wine. him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heavenr open, and the angelss of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. CHAPTER IL

1 Christ turneth water into wine: 12 he departeth into Capernaum, etc.

AND the third day there was a marriage in Cana a of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.b

3 And when c they wanted wine. the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoeverd he saith unto you, do it.

6 And there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Drawe out now, and bear unto the governorf of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When the ruler of the feast ha! tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants g which drew the water knew:) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth goo wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse but thou hast kept the good wine A until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manfested i forth his glory; and his disciples believed k on him.

12 T After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother. and his brethren, and hus disciples and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' passover & was at hand, and Jesusm went up to Jerusalem.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting

15 And when he had made a Scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured

Christ purgeth the temple. out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, o The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign p showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy 9 this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

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

21 But he spake of the temple r of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he s had said this unto them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feastday, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because het knew all men.

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what

was in man.

HERE was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a a ruler of the Jews:

13 And k no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14 ¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever m believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 T For God n so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,

17 For God o sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18

Hep that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light q is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neitherr cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be 2 reproved.

21 But he that doeths truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

22 T After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.u

23 And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salim, v because there was much water there and

they w came, and were baptized.

24 For John z was not yet cast into prison.

27 John answered and said, A man a can 3 receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said,b I am not the Christ, but that Ic am sent before him.

29 He that hath the bride d is the bridegroom: but the friend e of the bridegroom which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above fis above all he g that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man h receiveth his testimony.

Christ revealeth himself. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings d with the Samaritans.

THEN therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized a more disciples than John. 2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

3 He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

4 And he must needs b go through Samaria.

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave c to his son Joseph.

6 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.

c Ge.33. 19.

48.22. Jos.24.32.

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever g drinketh of the water that I shall give h him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in himi a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, 1 have no husband:

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

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive k that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem m is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye n shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship o ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation p is of the Jews

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true whorshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God r is a Spirit: and they that

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not y Mi.6.15. this the Christ?

He departeth to Galilee.

45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seend all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: fore they also went unto the feast.

46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he madeƒ the water wine. And there was a certain 1 nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs g and wonders, ye will not believe.

49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Goh thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: forb we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

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

53 So the father knew that it was at the same i hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth and himself believed, k and his whole house.

54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. CHAPTER V. 1 Jesus on the sabbath-day cureth him that was diseased eight and thirty years: 10 the Jews cavil, and persecute him for it.

AFTER this there was a feast a

of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market, a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever

parted thence, and went into Galilee.

44 For Jesus himself testified, that c a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

the water stepped in, was made whole c of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity d thirty and eight years.

The Jews persecute Jesus.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and e knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole ?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I haveƒ no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, g take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked and on h the same day was the sabbath.

10 T The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath-day: i it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

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