THE THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT JOHN. 23 He faid, I am the voice of one crying in the wildernets, Make Itraight the way of the Lord, as faid the prophet Efaias. 24 And they which were fent were of the Pharifees. 25 And they afked him, and faid unto him, Why baptizeft thou then, if thou be not that Chrift, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 26 John anfwered them, faying, I baptize with water: but there flandeth one among you, whom ye know not; 27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before ine, whofe hoe's latchet am not worthy to unloofe. 28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29 The next day John feeth Jefus com toring unto him, and faith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the fin of the world! 7 The fame came for a witnefs, bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was fent to bear witnefs of that Light. 80 This is he of whom I faid, After me cometh a man which is preferred be9 That was the true light, which light-fore me: for he was before me. eth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the fons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, hor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witnefs of him, and cried, faying, This was he of whom I fpake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me : for he was before me. 16 And of his fulnefs have all we received, and grace for grace. 31 And I knew him not: but that he fhould be made manifeft to Ifrael, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32 And John bare record, faying, I faw the Spirit defcending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. $s And I knew him not: but he that fent me to baptize with water, the fame faid unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit defcending and remaining on him, the fame is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghoft.

Art thou Elias? And he faith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he anfwered, No. 22 Then faid they unto him, Who art thou that we may give an anfwer to them that fent us. What fayeft thou of thy felf? 89 He faith unto them, Come and fee. They came and faw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day for it was bout the tenth hour. 40 One of the two which heard John Speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He firft findeth his own brother Simon, and faith unto him, We have found the Meffias, which is, being interpreted, the Chrift. 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jefus beheld him, he faid, Thou art Simon the fon of Jona: thou shalt be call ed Cephas, which is by interpretation, A ftone. 43 The day following, Jefus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and faith unto him, Follow me. 44 Now Philip was of Bethfaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. The temple parged. 10 And faith unto him, Every man æð the beginning doth fet forth good wine: and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jefus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his difciples believed on him. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and faith unto him, We have found him of whom Mofes in the law, and the prophets, did 12 ¶ After this he went down to Cawrite, Jefus of Nazareth, the fon of Jofeph. pernaum, he, and his mother, and his 46 And Nathanael faid unto him, Can brethren, and his difciples: and they there any good thing come out of Naza-continued there not many days. reth?

Jefus anfwered and faid unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou waft under the fig tree, I faw thee. 49 Nathanael anfwered and faid unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Ifrael. 50 Jefus anfwered and faid unto him, Because I faid unto thee, I faw thee under the fig tree, Believeft thou? Thou shalt fee greater things than thefe. 51 And he faith unto him, Verily, verily, I fay unto you, Hereafter ye fhall fee heaven open, and the angels of God afcending and defcending upon the Son of Man. CHAP., H. 1 Chrift surneth water into wine, 12 de- 2 And both Jefus was called, and his difciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jefus faith unto him, They have no wine.

Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot fee the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus faith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the fecond time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jefus anfwered, Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, except a man be born of wa ter and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is Aeth; and that which is born of the Epirit is fpirit. 7 Marvel not that I faid unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it lifteth, and thou heareft the found thereof, but cant not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: fo is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus anfwered and faid unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jefus anfwered and faid unto him, Art thou a master of Ifrael, and knoweft not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, We Speak that we do know, and teftify that we have feen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, How fhall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 18 And no man hath afcended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven. 14 And as Mofes lifted up the ferpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: 15 That whofoever believeth in him fhould not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God fo loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whofoever believeth in him thould not perish, but have everlasting life. 23 And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim, because there was much water there and they came, and were baptized. 24 For John was not yet caft into prifon. 25 Then there arofe a queftion between fome of John's difciples and the Jews about purifying. 26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witnefs, behold, the fame baptizeth, and all men come to him. 27 John anfwered and faid, A man caa receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I faid, I am not the Chrift, but that I am fent before him. 29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which ftandeth 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 is above all he that is of the earth is earthly, and fpeaketh of the earth; he that cometh from heaven is above all. : 32 And what he hath feen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his teftimony. 35 He that hath received his teftimony hath fet to his feal that God is true. 34 For he whom God hath fent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto bim. 17 For God fent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through kim might be faved.1 18 He 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 be. gotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light 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, neither cometh to the light, left his deeds should be reproved. 85 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the Son fhall not fee life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Jefus answered, and faid unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that faith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldeft have afked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman faith unto him, Sir, thou haft nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: From whence then halt thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereor himfelf, and his children, and his cattle ? 18 Jefus answered, and faid unto her, Whofoever drinketh of this water fhalf thirst again: Many Samaritans believe.
