Beloved, may we love one another, – ASLAN International Ministry

1 John 4:7-217 Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;8 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.9 In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son — the only begotten — hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;10 in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.11 Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;12 God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;13 in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.14 And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;16 and we — we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.17 In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we — we also are in this world;18 fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;19 we — we love him, because He — He first loved us;20 if any one may say — `I love God,’ and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God — whom he hath not seen — how is he able to love?21 and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;’

and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’

11 and she said, `No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’

12 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’

13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’

14 Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

15 `Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

16 and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

17 and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

18 I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’

19 They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’

20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

21 therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.’

22 The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?’

23 and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

24 I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.’

25 They said, therefore, to him, `Thou — who art thou?’ and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.’

27 They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

29 and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.’

30 As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

31 Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

32 and the truth shall make you free.’

33 They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?’

34 Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

35 and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

36 if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

37 `I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

38 I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.’

39 They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;’ Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

41 ye do the works of your father.’ They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;’

42 Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

43 wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

44 `Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.

45 `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

46 Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

47 he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.’

48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?’

49 Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

50 and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

51 verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.’

52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age!

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?’

54 Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

55 and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

56 Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.’

57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?’

58 Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham’s coming — I am;’

59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. – Aslan International Ministry

in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.’

Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?’

Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.’

Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;’

Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

11 believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

12 `Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do — that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

13 and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

14 if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].

15 `If ye love me, my commands keep,

16 and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you — to the age;

17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

18 `I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

19 yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;

20 in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you;

21 he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.’

22 Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?’

23 Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

24 he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

25 `These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,

26 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

27 `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

28 ye heard that I said to you — I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said — I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

29 `And now I have said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

30 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.  – Aslan International Ministry

These things having said – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?’

they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;’ Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];’ — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —

when, therefore, he said to them — `I am [he],’ they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?’ and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;’

Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;’

that the word might be fulfilled that he said — `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.’

10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear — and the name of the servant was Malchus —

11 Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?’

12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

13 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

16 and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

17 Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?’ he saith, `I am not;’

18 and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

20 Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.’

22 And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?’

23 Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?’

24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?’ he denied, and said, `I am not.’

26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?’

27 again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

29 Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?’

30 they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.’

31 Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him — ye — and according to your law judge him;’ the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;’

32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?’

34 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?’

35 Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?’

36 Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.’

37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?’ Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.’

38 Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?’ and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

39 and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?’

40 therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one — but Barabbas;’ and Barabbas was a robber.  – Aslan International Ministry

and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

3 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;’

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;’

9 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

10 And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?’

12 and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — `He is good;’ and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;’

13 no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

14 And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters — not having learned?’

16 Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

17 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.

18 `He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

19 hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?’

20 The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?’

21 Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

22 because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

23 if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

24 judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.’

25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

26 and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

27 but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.’

28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

29 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.’

30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

31 and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — `The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?’

32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

34 ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.’

35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

36 what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?’

37 And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

38 he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;’

39 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

40 Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;’

41 others said, `This is the Christ;’ and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

42 Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?’

43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

44 And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

45 the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?’

46 The officers answered, `Never so spake man — as this man.’

47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

48 did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

49 but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.’

50 Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,

51 `Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?’

52 They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;’

53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.  – Aslan International Ministry

and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?’

Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.’

These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,’ which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?’

others said — `This is he;’ and others — `He is like to him;’ he himself said, — `I am [he].’

10 They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?’

11 he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;’

12 they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?’ he saith, `I have not known.’

13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

14 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.’

16 Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;’ others said, `How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?’ and there was a division among them.

17 They said to the blind man again, `Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?’

18 and he said — `He is a prophet.’ The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

19 and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?’

20 His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

21 and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.’

22 These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

23 because of this his parents said — `He is of age, ask him.’

24 They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;’

25 he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.’

26 And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?’

27 He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?’

28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;

29 we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.’

30 The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

31 and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

32 from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

33 if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.’

34 They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!’ and they cast him forth without.

35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?’

36 he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’

37 And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;’

38 and he said, `I believe, sir,’ and bowed before him.

39 And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.’

40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?’

41 Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain. – Aslan International Ministry

(though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;’

for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

9 the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?’ for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.’

11 The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?’

13 Jesus answered and said to her, `Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

14 but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.’

15 The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.’

16 Jesus saith to her, `Go, call thy husband, and come hither;’

17 the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.’ Jesus saith to her, `Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;

18 for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.’

19 The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;

20 our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.’

21 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;

23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.’

25 The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;’

26 Jesus saith to her, `I am [he], who am speaking to thee.’

27 And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, `What seekest thou?’ or `Why speakest thou with her?’

28 The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,

29 `Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?’

30 They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

31 And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, `Rabbi, eat;’

32 and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not known.’

33 The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?’

34 Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

35 do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

36 `And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

37 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

38 I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.

39 And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — `He told me all things — as many as I did.’

40 When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;

41 and many more did believe because of his word,

42 and said to the woman — `No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.’

43 And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,

44 for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

45 when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast.

46 Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,

47 he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

48 Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.’

49 The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;’

50 Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.’ And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

51 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying — `Thy child doth live;’

52 he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him — `Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;’

53 then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him — `Thy son doth live,’ and he himself believed, and his whole house;

54 this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee. – Aslan International Ministry

And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him — into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.

He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou — dost thou wash my feet?’

Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;’

Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet — to the age.’ Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;’

Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.’

10 Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;’

11 for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.’

12 When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, `Do ye know what I have done to you?

13 ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

14 if then I did wash your feet — the Lord and the Teacher — ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 `For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

16 verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

17 if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

18 not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

19 `From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];

20 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.’

21 These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;’

22 the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

23 And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

24 Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

25 and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?’

26 Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;’ and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost — do quickly;’

28 and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

29 for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;’ or that he may give something to the poor;

30 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

32 if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

33 `Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews — Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now.

34 `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

35 in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.’

36 Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?’ Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.’

37 Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;’

38 Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.’  – Aslan International Ministry
