And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. 30 And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the 'bread, and blessed it, and brake, and 31 gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of 32 their sight. And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the 33 scriptures? And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were 34 with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath ap35 peared to Simon. And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.

they beheld a spirit. And he 38 said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart? See my hands and 39 my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. And when he had said 40 this, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And 41 while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat? And they 42 gave him a piece of a broiled fish4. And he took it, and 43 did eat before them.

And he said unto them, 44 These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, how that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning

me.

Then opened he their 45 mind, that they might understand the scriptures; and he 46 said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance 5 and re- 47 mission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Ye are wit- 48 nesses of these things. And 49 behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you:

11

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was 2 God. The same was in the 3 beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that hath 4 been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of 5 men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it 6 not.

There came a man, sent from God, whose name 7 was John. The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through 8 him. He was not the light, but came that he might bear

7

witness of the light. 6 There 9 was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world. He was in the world, and the 10 world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and 11 they that were his own received him not. But as many 12 as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of 13 10 blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word 14 became flesh, and 11dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of 12 the

only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. 15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, 1This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was 2 before 16 me. For of his fulness we all received, and grace for 17 grace. For the law was given 3 by Moses; grace and truth 18 came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask 20 him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not 21 the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? 22 And he answered, No. They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thy23 self? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah 24 the prophet. 5 And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the

Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? John answered 26 them, saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, even he that cometh after 27 me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in 28 Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

On the morrow he seeth 29 Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world! This is he 30 of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is become before me: for he was 2 before me. And I knew him 31 not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing with water. And John bare 32 witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him. And I knew 33 him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit. And I have seen, and have 34 borne witness that this is the Son of God.

Again on the morrow John 35 was standing, and two of his disciples; and he looked upon 36 Jesus as he walked, and saith,

Behold, the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed 38 Jesus. And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, 1Master), 39 where abidest thou? He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day it was about the tenth 40 hour. One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon 41 Peter's brother. He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, 2Christ). 42 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of 3 John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter). 43 On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, 44 Follow me. Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city 45 of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the 46 son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him,

1 Or, Teacher xvi. 17, Jonah.

Come and see. Jesus saw 47 Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith 48 unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Nathanael answered 49 him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel. Jesus answered and 50 said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he 51 saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of

man.

And the third day there 1 2 was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and Jesus 2 also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. And 3 when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. And 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the 5 servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Now there 6 were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill 7 3 Gr. Joanes: called in Matt.

the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to 8 the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the 9 feast. And they bare it. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water 2 now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth 10 the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine 11 until now. This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and there they abode not many days.

13 And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and. Jesus 14 went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of 15 money sitting: and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their 16 tables; and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of 17 merchandise. His disciples

remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house shall eat me up. The Jews 18 therefore answered and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus 19 answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. The Jews therefore said, 20 Forty and six years was this 3 temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? But he spake of the temple 21 of his body. When therefore 22 he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Now when he was in Jeru- 23 salem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did. But Jesus did 24 not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, and 25 because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of 1 3 the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came unto him by 2 night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered 3 and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, 3 Or, sanctuary
