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

him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hears my 24 word, and believes him that sent me, has life everlasting, and comes not into judgment but has passed out of death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, an 25 hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that heard shall live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he gave the 26 Son also to have life in himself. And he gave him authority 27 to do judgment, because he is Son of man. Marvel not 28 at this, that an hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and they that did good 29 will come forth unto a resurrection of life; and they that wrought bad, unto a resurrection of judgment. I can 30 of myself do nothing; even as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. If I bear witness con- 31 cerning myself, my witness is not true; there is another 32 that bears witness concerning me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesses concerning me is true. Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness unto 33 the truth; but the witness I receive is not from man; but 34 these things I say, that ye may be saved. He was the 35 lamp that burns and shines; and ye desired for a season to exult in his light. But the witness I have is greater 36 than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to complete them, the very works that I do bear witness concerning me, that the Father has sent me. the Father who sent me, he has borne witness of me; ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form; and ye have not his word abiding in you, 38 for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Ye search the 39 scriptures, because in them ye think ye have life everlasting; and these are they which bear witness concerning me. And ye desire not to come to me, that ye may have 40 life. I receive not glory from men; but I know you, that 41, 42 ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my 43 Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye 44

And 37

believe, while ye receive glory from one another, and seek not 45 the glory that is from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses 46 you, Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he 47 wrote concerning me. But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?

CH. VI.

AFTER these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of 2 Galilee, of Tiberias; and a great multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on the infirm. 3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and sat there with his 4 disciples. And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw that a great multitude was coming unto him, he says unto Philip, Whence 6 are we to buy loaves, that these may eat? But this he said trying him: for he himself knew what he was about 7 to do. Philip answers him, Two hundred denarii-worth of loaves is not enough for them, that each one may take a 8 little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, 9 says unto him, There is a lad here, who has five barley. loaves and two small fishes; but what are these among so 10 many? Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in 11 number about five thousand. Jesus then took the loaves, and gave thanks, and gave to them that were set down; and in like manner of the fishes as much as they desired. 12 And when they were filled, he says unto his disciples, Gather together the fragments that remain over, that 13 nothing be lost. So they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

14

The men therefore, seeing the sign that he did, said, This is of a truth the prophet that was to come into the 15 world. Jesus therefore knowing that they are about to come and take him by force, to make him a king, flees again into the mountain himself alone.

16

But when evening came, his disciples went down unto 17 the sea, and entered into a ship, and were going to the

opposite shore of the sea, to Capernaum. And darkness overtook them, and Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea was rising by reason of a strong wind 18 blowing. When then they had rowed about five and 19 twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship, and were afraid. But he says unto them, It is I, be not afraid. They were 20, 21 willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land whither they were going.

The next day, the multitude standing on the opposite 22 shore of the sea saw that there was none other boat there save one, and that Jesus did not enter with his disciples into the ship, but his disciples went away alone; (yet there 23 came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord gave thanks). When therefore 24 the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves entered into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus. And when they found him 25 on the opposite shore of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when art thou come hither? Jesus answered them and said, 26 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were satisfied. Work not for the food which perishes, but for the 27 food which abides unto life everlasting, which the Son of man gives unto you: for him the Father sealed, even God. Then said they unto him, What must we do, that we may 28 work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto 29 them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him. whom he sent. Then said they unto him, What sign 30 doest thou then, that we may see and believe thee, what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat the manna in the wilder- 31 ness, even as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I say 32 unto you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from 33 heaven and gives life unto the world. Then said they 34
