-
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
-
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
-
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
-
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
-
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
-
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
-
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
-
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
-
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
-
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
-
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
-
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
-
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
-
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
-
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
-
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 son of Joseph.
-
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
-
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
-
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
-
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
-
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
-
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
-
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
-
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
-
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
