15 must the Son of man be lifted up, that every one who 16 believes in him may have life everlasting. For God so

loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, in order that every one who believes in him might not perish, but 17 have life everlasting. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world might be 18 saved through him. He that believes on him is not judged he that believes not has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only 19 begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness 20 rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. For every one that does bad things hates the light, and comes 21 not to the light, lest his deeds should be convicted. But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested, that they are wrought in God.

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea: and there he was tarrying with them and 23 baptizing. And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to

Salim, because there was much water there: and they came 24 to him and were baptized; for John was not yet cast into the 25 prison. Then arose a discussion on the part of John's 26 disciples with a Jew about purification. And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same is baptizing, and all are coming to him. 27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except 28 it have been given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear

me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am 29 sent before him. He that has the bride is bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. 30 This my joy therefore has been fulfilled. He must increase, 31 but I decrease. He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the 32 earth. He that comes from heaven bears witness to what he has seen and heard; and no one receives his witness. 33 He that received his witness set his seal that God is true.

For he whom God sent speaks the words of God; for he 34 gives not the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the 35 Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that 36 believes on the Son has life everlasting: he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

WHEN therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, (though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his 2 disciples,) he left Judaea, and went away again into Galilee. 3 And he must needs go through Samaria. He comes 4, therefore into a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the enclosure that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And Jacob's 6 well was there. Jesus therefore, wearied with the journey, was sitting thus by the well: it was about the sixth hour. There comes a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus 7 says unto her, Give me to drink. For his disciples had s gone away unto the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman 9 says unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? Jesus an- 10 swered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman says unto him, Lord, thou hast 11 nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence hast thou the living water? Art thou greater than our father 12 Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said 13 unto her, Every one that drinks of this water will thirst again but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall 14 give him will never thirst; but the water that I shall give him will become in him a well of water springing up into life everlasting. The woman says unto him, Lord, give me 15 this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. He says unto her, Go, call thy husband 16 and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have 17 no husband. Jesus says unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband for thou hadst five husbands; and he whom 18

5

thou now hast is not thy husband. This thou hast spoken 19 truly. The woman says unto him, Lord, I behold that thou 20 art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;

and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men 21 ought to worship. Jesus says unto her, Believe me, woman, an hour is coming, when ye shall neither in this 22 mountain nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which 23 we know, for salvation is of the Jews. But an hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father also 24 seeks them who worship him to be such. God is spirit; and 25 they that worship must worship in spirit and truth. The

woman says unto him, I know that Messiah comes, who is called Christ: when he shall come, he will tell us all 26 things. Jesus says unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he

was talking with a woman: yet no one said, What seekest 28 thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says 29 to the men, Come, see a man, who told me all that 30 I did; is this the Christ? They went out of the city, 31 and were coming to him. In the meanwhile the disciples 32 were asking him, saying, Rabbi, eat. But he said unto 33 them, I have food to eat that ye know not of. Therefore

the disciples were saying one to another, Did any one bring 34 him aught to eat? Jesus says unto them, My food is that I may do the will of him that sent me and complete 35 his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and the harvest comes? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the fields, that they are white unto 36 harvest. Already does he that reaps receive hire, and gather fruit unto life everlasting; in order that both he 37 that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. For herein is the saying real, One is the sower, and another 38 the reaper. I have sent you to reap that whereon ye have

not laboured: others have laboured, and ye have entered 39 into their labour. And many of the Samaritans of that

city believed on him because of the saying of the woman bearing witness, He told me all that I did. When therefore 40 the Samaritans came unto him, they asked him to abide with them; and he abode there two days. And many 41 more believed because of his word, and said unto the 42 woman, No longer do we believe because of thy story: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a truth the Saviour of the world.

Now after the two days he went forth thence into 43 Galilee. For Jesus himself bare witness, that a prophet has 44 no honour in his own country. When therefore he came 45 into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went unto the feast. So he came again into the Cana of 46 Galilee, where he made the water wine.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, in Capernaum; the same having heard that Jesus was come 47 out of Judaea into Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him to come down and cure his son; for he was about to die. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and 48 wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman says unto 49 him, Lord, come down ere my child die. Jesus says unto 50 him, Go, thy son lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and went. But as he was now 51 going down, the servants met him, and told that his son lived. He inquired of them therefore the hour in which 52 he began to amend; so they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. The father knew 53 therefore that it was in that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son lives: and he believed, himself and his whole house. This again is a second sign which Jesus 54 did when he came out of Judaea into Galilee.

AFTER these things there was the feast of the Jews, and V. Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem 2 by the sheep-gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches. In these were lying a 3 multitude of the infirm, blind, halt, withered. And 5 a certain man was there, who had been in his infirmity

6 thirty and eight years: when Jesus saw this man lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, 7 he says unto him, Desirest thou to become whole? The infirm one answered him, Lord, I have no man, when the water has been troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another is going down before me. 8 Jesus says unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And the man became whole, and took up his bed, and 10 walked and on that day was the sabbath. The Jews

therefore said unto him that was healed, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed. 11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same 12 said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up, 13 and walk? But the infirm one knew not who it was; for Jesus conveyed himself away, there being a multitude in 14 the place. After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art become whole: 15 sin no more, lest something worse befall thee. The man

went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who 16 made him whole. And for this the Jews persecuted 17 Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. But

he answered them, My Father works until now, and I 18 work. For this the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily,

I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing: for what things soever 20 he does, these also does the Son in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shews him all things that himself does; and greater works than these will he shew 21 him, so that ye marvel. For as the Father raises the

dead and quickens them; so the Son also quickens whom 22 he will. For neither does the Father judge any one, 23 but has given all the judgment unto the Son; that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honours not the Son honours not the Father who sent
