but was fent to bear witness
of that Light.

I Word, and the Word was

with God, and the Word was God.

2 The fame was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light fhineth in darknefs; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man fent from God, whofe name was John.

7 The fame came for a witnef, to bear witness of

9 That was the true Light which lighteth 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, nor of the will of

14 And the word was made flefh, 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 witness 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 fulness have all we received, and grace

for grace.

17 For the law was given by Mofes, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 No man hath feen God at any time: the only begotten Son, which is in the bofom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews fent priefts and Levites from Jerufalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 And he confeffed and denied not but confeffed I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? 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

that fent us. What fayeft thou of thyself?

23 He faid, I am the voice of one crying in the wilder nefs, Make ftraight the way of the Lord, as faid the prophet Efaias.

24 And they which were fent were of the Pharisees.

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 ftandeth one among you, whom ye know

not;

27 He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whofe hoe's, latchet I 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 coming unto him, and faith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the fin of the world.

30 This is he of whom I faid, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me : for he was before me.

2 It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was fick.

4 When Jefus heard that, he faid, This fickness is not unto death, but for the glory

of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

5. Now Jefus loved Martha, and her fifter, and La

zarus.

6 When he had heard therefore that he was fick, he abode two days ftill in the fame place where he was.

7 Then after that faith he to his difciples, Let us go into Judea again.

8 His difciples fay unto him, Mafter, the Jews of late fought to ftone thee; and goest thou thither again?

9 Jefus anfwered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he ftumbleth not, because he feeth the light of this world..

10 But if a man. walk in the night he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.,

11. These things faid he and after that he faith unto them, Our friend Lazarus fleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of fleep.

12 Then faid his difciples, Lord, if he fleep, he shall do well.

13 Howbeit Jefus fpake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of reft in fleep.

14 Then faid Jefus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
