For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;

but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised.

He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,

[and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.

He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand.

(however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),

He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

(for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.

And more a great deal believed on account of his word;

for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked [him] that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
