John 5:33–35

¹⁵¶ 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.

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

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

¹⁸No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath 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?

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

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

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

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

²⁴And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

²⁶John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

²⁷He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

¹⁵¶ Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that commeth after me, is preferred before me, for he was before me.

¹⁶And of his ^*fulnesse haue all wee receiued, and grace for grace.

¹⁷For the Law was giuen by Moses, but grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ.

^18*No man hath seene God at any time: the onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.

¹⁹¶ And this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priests and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?

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

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

²²Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?

^23*He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wildernesse: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.

²⁴And they which were sent, were of the Pharises.

²⁵And they asked him, and said vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet?

²⁶Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not,

^27*He it is, who comming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose.

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

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

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

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

³³And 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.

³⁴And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

²⁹¶ The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Behold the Lambe of God, which ^‖taketh away the sinne of the world.

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

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

^32*And Iohn bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heauen, like a Doue, and it abode vpon him.

³³And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said vnto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, & remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.

³⁴And I saw, and bare record, that this is the sonne of God.

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

⁷The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

⁸He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

⁶¶ ^*There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.

⁷The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the light, that all men through him might beleeue.

⁸Hee was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.

²⁶And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

²⁷John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

²⁸Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁹He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

³⁰He must increase, but I must decrease.

³¹He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

³²And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

³³He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

³⁴For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

³⁵The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

³⁶He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

²⁶And they came vnto Iohn, and said vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iordane, ^*to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

²⁷Iohn answered, and said, ^*A man can ^‖receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.

²⁸Ye your selues beare me witnesse, that I said, ^*I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁹He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome, which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of the bridegromes voice: This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.

³⁰Hee must increase, but I must decrease.

³¹Hee that commeth from aboue, is aboue all: hee that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: hee that cōmeth from heauen is aboue all:

³²And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth, and no man receiueth his testimony:

³³He that hath receiued his testimonie, ^*hath set to his seale, that God is true.

³⁴For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: For God giueth not the Spirit by measure vnto him.

^35*The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen al things into his hand.

^36*He that beleeueth on the Sonne, hath euerlasting life: and he that beleeueth not the Sonne, shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

⁹If we receiue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the witnesse of God, which hee hath testified of his Sonne.

¹⁶Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

¹⁶Take heed vnto thy selfe, and vnto the doctrine: continue in them: for in doing this, thou shalt both saue thy selfe, and them that heare thee.

³¹But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

³¹But these are written, that yee might beleeue that Iesus is the Christ the Sonne of God, and that beleeuing ye might haue life through his Name.

⁴¹¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

⁴²Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

⁴¹¶ And when he was come neere, he beheld the city and wept ouer it,

⁴²Saying, If thou hadst knowen, euen thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong vnto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

²²To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

²²To the weake became I as weake, that I might gaine the weake: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all meanes saue some.

³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

⁴Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,

⁴Who will haue all men to bee saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.

⁴¹I receive not honour from men.

⁴¹I receiue not honour from men.

¹BRETHREN, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

¹¶ Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.

⁵⁴Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

⁵⁴Iesus answered, If I honour myselfe, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:

⁴⁷And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷And that repentance and remission of sinnes should be preached in his Name, among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem.

³⁴O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

^34*O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent vnto thee; how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as a henne doeth gather her brood vnder her wings, & ye would not?

¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

^10*For the sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.

²¹But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

²¹But to Israel he sayth, ^*All day long I haue stretched foorth my hands vnto a disobedient and gainesaying people.

²¹Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

²¹Be not ouercome of euill, but ouercome euill with good.

³For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

³For what if some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?

²⁰But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

²¹Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

²⁰But he that receiued the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, & anon with ioy receiueth it:
