11 I [1473] indeed [3303] baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] water [5204] unto [1519] repentance [3341]: but [1161] he that cometh [2064] after [3694] me [3450] is [2076] mightier than [2478] I [3450], whose [3739] shoes [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to bear [941]: he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] with fire [4442]:
26 But [1161] if [1437] we shall say [2036], Of [1537] men [444]; we fear [5399] the people [3793]; for [1063] all [3956] hold [2192] John [2491] as [5613] a prophet [4396].
31 And I [2504] knew [1492] him [846] not [3756]: but [235] that [2443] he should be made manifest [5319] to Israel [2474], therefore [1223] [5124] am [2064] I [1473] come [2064] baptizing [907] with [1722] water [5204].
4 Then [1161] said [2036] Paul [3972], John [2491] verily [3303] baptized [907] with the baptism [908] of repentance [3341], saying [3004] unto the people [2992], that [2443] they should believe [4100] on [1519] him which should come [2064] after [3326] him [846], that is [5123], on [1519] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
1 Arise [06965], shine [0215]; for thy light [0216] is come [0935], and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] is risen [02224] upon thee.
31 And I [2504] knew [1492] him [846] not [3756]: but [235] that [2443] he should be made manifest [5319] to Israel [2474], therefore [1223] [5124] am [2064] I [1473] come [2064] baptizing [907] with [1722] water [5204].
6 And he said [0559], It is a light thing [07043] that thou shouldest be my servant [05650] to raise up [06965] the tribes [07626] of Jacob [03290], and to restore [07725] the preserved [05341] [05336] of Israel [03478]: I will also give [05414] thee for a light [0216] to the Gentiles [01471], that thou mayest be my salvation [03444] unto the end [07097] of the earth [0776].
6 This [3778] is [2076] he that came [2064] by [1223] water [5204] and [2532] blood [129], even Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; not [3756] by [1722] water [5204] only [3440], but [235] by [1722] water [5204] and [2532] blood [129]. And [2532] it is [2076] the Spirit [4151] that beareth witness [3140], because [3754] the Spirit [4151] is [2076] truth [225].
14 He [1565] shall glorify [1392] me [1691]: for [3754] he shall receive [2983] of [1537] mine [1699], and [2532] shall shew [312] it unto you [5213].
13 Howbeit [1161] when [3752] he [1565], the Spirit [4151] of truth [225], is come [2064], he will guide [3594] you [5209] into [1519] all [3956] truth [225]: for [1063] he shall [2980] not [3756] speak [2980] of [575] himself [1438]; but [235] whatsoever [3745] [302] he shall hear [191], that shall he speak [2980]: and [2532] he will shew [312] you [5213] things to come [2064].
26 But [1161] when [3752] the Comforter [3875] is come [2064], whom [3739] I [1473] will send [3992] unto you [5213] from [3844] the Father [3962], even the Spirit [4151] of truth [225], which [3739] proceedeth [1607] from [3844] the Father [3962], he [1565] shall testify [3140] of [4012] me [1700]:
14 And [2532] we [2249] have seen [2300] and [2532] do testify [3140] that [3754] the Father [3962] sent [649] the Son [5207] to be the Saviour [4990] of the world [2889].
2 (For [2532] the life [2222] was manifested [5319], and [2532] we have seen [3708] it, and [2532] bear witness [3140], and [2532] shew [518] unto you [5213] that eternal [166] life [2222], which [3748] was [2258] with [4314] the Father [3962], and [2532] was manifested [5319] unto us [2254];)
24 This [3778] is [2076] the disciple [3101] which [3588] testifieth [3140] of [4012] these things [5130], and [2532] wrote [1125] these things [5023]: and [2532] we know [1492] that [3754] his [846] testimony [3141] is [2076] true [227].
35 And [2532] he that saw [3708] it bare record [3140], and [2532] his [846] record [3141] is [2076] true [228]: and he [2548] knoweth [1492] that [3754] he saith [3004] true [227], that [2443] ye [5210] might believe [4100].
27 And [1161] ye [5210] also [2532] shall bear witness [3140], because [3754] ye have been [2075] with [3326] me [1700] from [575] the beginning [746].
35 He [1565] was [2258] a burning [2545] and [2532] a shining [5316] light [3088]: and [1161] ye [5210] were willing [2309] for [4314] a season [5610] to rejoice [21] in [1722] his [846] light [5457].
33 Ye [5210] sent [649] unto [4314] John [2491], and [2532] he bare witness [3140] unto the truth [225].
7 The same [3778] came [2064] for [1519] a witness [3141], to [2443] bear witness [3140] of [4012] the Light [5457], that [2443] all [3956] men through [1223] him [846] might believe [4100].
46 And [2532] Nathanael [3482] said [2036] unto him [846], Can [1410] there any [5100] good thing [18] come [1511] out of [1537] Nazareth [3478]? Philip [5376] saith [3004] unto him [846], Come [2064] and [2532] see [1492].
46 For [1063] [1487] had ye believed [4100] Moses [3475], ye would have believed [4100] [302] me [1698]: for [1063] he [1565] wrote [1125] of [4012] me [1700].
40 And [2532] ye will [2309] not [3756] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], that [2443] ye might have [2192] life [2222].
39 Search [2045] the scriptures [1124]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] ye [5210] think [1380] ye have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]: and [2532] they [1565] are they [1526] which testify [3140] of [4012] me [1700].
24 If [1508] I had [4160] not [1508] done [4160] among [1722] them [846] the works [2041] which [3739] none [3762] other man [243] did [4160], they had [2192] not [3756] had [2192] sin [266]: but [1161] now [3568] have they [3708] both [2532] seen [3708] and [2532] hated [3404] both [2532] me [1691] and [2532] my [3450] Father [3962].
11 Believe [4100] me [3427] that [3754] I [1473] am in [1722] the Father [3962], and [2532] the Father [3962] in [1722] me [1698]: or else [1490] believe [4100] me [3427] for [1223] the very [846] works [2041]' sake [846].
25 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], I told [2036] you [5213], and [2532] ye believed [4100] not [3756]: the works [2041] that [3739] I [1473] do [4160] in [1722] my [3450] Father's [3962] name [3686], they [5023] bear witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700].
36 But [1161] I [1473] have [2192] greater [3187] witness [3141] than that of John [2491]: for [1063] the works [2041] which [3739] the Father [3962] hath given [1325] me [3427] to [2443] finish [5048] [846], the same [846] works [2041] that [3739] I [1473] do [4160], bear witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700], that [3754] the Father [3962] hath sent [649] me [3165].
17 But [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], My [3450] Father [3962] worketh [2038] hitherto [2193] [737], and I [2504] work [2038].
37 Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] said [2036] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] a king [935] then [3766]? Jesus [2424] answered [611], Thou [4771] sayest [3004] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] a king [935]. To [1519] this [5124] end was [1080] I [1473] born [1080], and [2532] for [1519] this [5124] cause came I [2064] into [1519] the world [2889], that [2443] I should bear witness [3140] unto the truth [225]. Every one [3956] that is [5607] of [1537] the truth [225] heareth [191] my [3450] voice [5456].
14 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Though [2579] I [1473] bear record [3140] of [4012] myself [1683], yet my [3450] record [3141] is [2076] true [227]: for [3754] I know [1492] whence [4159] I came [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] I go [5217]; but [1161] ye [5210] cannot [3756] tell [1492] whence [4159] I come [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] I go [5217].
37 And [2532] the Father [3962] himself [846], which hath sent [3992] me [3165], hath borne witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700]. Ye have [191] neither [3777] heard [191] his [846] voice [5456] at any time [4455], nor [3777] seen [3708] his [846] shape [1491].
34 But [1161] I [1473] receive [2983] not [3756] testimony [3141] from [3844] man [444]: but [235] these things [5023] I say [3004], that [2443] ye [5210] might be saved [4982].
31 If [1437] I [1473] bear witness [3140] of [4012] myself [1683], my [3450] witness [3141] is [2076] not [3756] true [227].
1 The elders [4245] which are among [1722] you [5213] I exhort [3870], who [3588] am also an elder [4850], and [2532] a witness [3144] of the sufferings [3804] of Christ [5547], and also [2532] a partaker [2844] of the glory [1391] that shall [3195] be revealed [601]:
22 Beginning [756] from [575] the baptism [908] of John [2491], unto [2193] that same day [2250] that [3739] he was taken up [353] from [575] us [2257], must [1163] one [1520] be ordained [1096] to be a witness [3144] with [4862] us [2254] of his [846] resurrection [386].
8 But [235] ye shall receive [2983] power [1411], after that the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] is come [1904] upon [1909] you [5209]: and [2532] ye shall be [2071] witnesses [3144] unto me [3427] both [5037] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] Judaea [2449], and [2532] in Samaria [4540], and [2532] unto [2193] the uttermost part [2078] of the earth [1093].
8 He was [2258] not [3756] that [1565] Light [5457], but [235] was sent to [2443] bear witness [3140] of [4012] that Light [5457].
2 The same [3778] was [2258] in [1722] the beginning [746] with [4314] God [2316].
32 And [2532] John [2491] bare record [3140], saying [3004], [3754] I saw [2300] the Spirit [4151] descending [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] it abode [3306] upon [1909] him [846].
33 And I [2504] knew [1492] him [846] not [3756]: but [235] he that sent [3992] me [3165] to baptize [907] with [1722] water [5204], the same [1565] said [2036] unto me [3427], Upon [1909] whom [3739] [302] thou shalt see [1492] the Spirit [4151] descending [2597], and [2532] remaining [3306] on [1909] him [846], the same [3778] is [2076] he which baptizeth [907] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
34 And I [2504] saw [3708], and [2532] bare record [3140] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] the Son [5207] of God [2316].
29 The next day [1887] John [2491] seeth [991] Jesus [2424] coming [2064] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004], Behold [2396] the Lamb [286] of God [2316], which [3588] taketh away [142] the sin [266] of the world [2889].
