37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handie me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which ighteth 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 sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, For of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

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

18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which in the bosom of the Father, he bath declared him.

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

21 And they which were sent wer of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said | Can there any good thing come out of anto him, Why baptizest thou then, Naxareth? Philip saith unto him, Come if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, and see. neither that prophet?

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 1 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

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

31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with

water.

32 And John bare record, saying, 1 saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not; but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.) 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

35 Again the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples;

36 And looking upon Jesus as be walked, he saith, Beheid the Lamb of

God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

39 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?

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

48 Nathanael saith unto him, whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip calle thee, when thou wast under the figtree, I saw thee.

49 Nathanael answered and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater dungs than these.

51 And he saith unto him, Ver verily, I say unto you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. CHAP. II.
