¹Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

KJVWhen^G5613 therefore^G3767 the Lord^G2962 knew^G1097^(G5627) how^G3754 the Pharisees^G5330 had heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 made^G4160^(G5719) and^G2532 baptized^G907^(G5719) more^G4119 disciples^G3101 than^G2228 John^G2491,

² (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

KJV(Though^G2544 Jesus^G2424 himself^G846 baptized^G907^(G5707) not^G3756, but^G235 his^G846 disciples^G3101,)

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

KJVHe left^G863^(G5656) Judaea^G2449, and^G2532 departed^G565^(G5627) again^G3825 into^G1519 Galilee^G1056.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

KJVAnd^G1161 he must needs^G1163^(G5713) go^G1330^(G5738) through^G1223 Samaria^G4540.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

KJVThen^G3767 cometh he^G2064^(G5736) to^G1519 a city^G4172 of Samaria^G4540, which is called^G3004^(G5746) Sychar^G4965, near^G4139 to the parcel of ground^G5564 that^G3739 Jacob^G2384 gave^G1325^(G5656) to his^G846 son^G5207 Joseph^G2501.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

KJVNow^G1161 Jacob's^G2384 well^G4077 was^G2258^(G5713) there^G1563. Jesus^G2424 therefore^G3767, being wearied^G2872^(G5761) with^G1537 his journey^G3597, sat^G2516^(G5711) thus^G3779 on^G1909 the well^G4077: and it was^G2258^(G5713) about^G5616 the sixth^G1623 hour^G5610.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

KJVThere cometh^G2064^(G5736) a woman^G1135 of^G1537 Samaria^G4540 to draw^G501^(G5658) water^G5204: Jesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Give^G1325^(G5628) me^G3427 to drink^G4095^(G5629).

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

KJV(For^G1063 his^G846 disciples^G3101 were gone away^G565^(G5715) unto^G1519 the city^G4172 to^G2443 buy^G59^(G5661) meat^G5160.)

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

KJVThen^G3767 saith^G3004^(G5719) the woman^G1135 of Samaria^G4542 unto him^G846, How is it that^G4459 thou^G4771, being^G5607^(G5752) a Jew^G2453, askest^G154^(G5719) drink^G4095^(G5629) of^G3844 me^G1700, which am^G5607^(G5752) a woman^G1135 of Samaria^G4542? for^G1063 the Jews^G2453 have^G4798 no^G3756 dealings^G4798^(G5736) with the Samaritans^G4541.

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, If^G1487 thou knewest^G1492^(G5715) the gift^G1431 of God^G2316, and^G2532 who^G5101 it is^G2076^(G5748) that saith^G3004^(G5723) to thee^G4671, Give^G1325^(G5628) me^G3427 to drink^G4095^(G5629); thou^G4771 wouldest^G302 have asked^G154^(G5656) of him^G846, and^G2532 he would^G302 have given^G1325^(G5656) thee^G4671 living^G2198^(G5723) water^G5204.

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

KJVThe woman^G1135 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Sir^G2962, thou hast^G2192^(G5719) nothing^G3777 to draw with^G502, and^G2532 the well^G5421 is^G2076^(G5748) deep^G901: from whence^G4159 then^G3767 hast thou^G2192^(G5719) that living^G2198^(G5723) water^G5204?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

KJV^G3361 Art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 greater^G3187 than our^G2257 father^G3962 Jacob^G2384, which^G3739 gave^G1325^(G5656) us^G2254 the well^G5421, and^G2532 drank^G4095^(G5627) thereof^G1537^G846 himself^G846, and^G2532 his^G846 children^G5207, and^G2532 his^G846 cattle^G2353?

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, Whosoever^G3956 drinketh^G4095^(G5723) of^G1537 this^G5127 water^G5204 shall thirst^G1372^(G5692) again^G3825:

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

KJVBut^G1161 whosoever^G3739^G302 drinketh^G4095^(G5632) of^G1537 the water^G5204 that^G3739 I^G1473 shall give^G1325^(G5692) him^G846 shall^G1372 never^G1519^G165^G3364 thirst^G1372^(G5661); but^G235 the water^G5204 that^G3739 I shall give^G1325^(G5692) him^G846 shall be^G1096^(G5695) in^G1722 him^G846 a well^G4077 of water^G5204 springing up^G242^(G5740) into^G1519 everlasting^G166 life^G2222.

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

KJVThe woman^G1135 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto^G4314 him^G846, Sir^G2962, give^G1325^(G5628) me^G3427 this^G5124 water^G5204, that^G3363 I thirst^G1372^(G5725) not^G3363, neither^G3366 come^G2064^(G5741) hither^G1759 to draw^G501^(G5721).

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Go^G5217^(G5720), call^G5455^(G5657) thy^G4675 husband^G435, and^G2532 come^G2064^(G5628) hither^G1759.

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

KJVThe woman^G1135 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), I have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 husband^G435. Jesus^G2424 said^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Thou hast^G2036 well^G2573 said^G2036^(G5627),^G3754 I have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 husband^G435:

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

KJVFor^G1063 thou hast had^G2192^(G5627) five^G4002 husbands^G435; and^G2532 he whom^G3739 thou^G2192 now^G3568 hast^G2192^(G5719) is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 thy^G4675 husband^G435: in that^G5124 saidst thou^G2046^(G5758) truly^G227.

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

KJVThe woman^G1135 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Sir^G2962, I perceive^G2334^(G5719) that^G3754 thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) a prophet^G4396.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

KJVOur^G2257 fathers^G3962 worshipped^G4352^(G5656) in^G1722 this^G5129 mountain^G3735; and^G2532 ye^G5210 say^G3004^(G5719), that^G3754 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414 is^G2076^(G5748) the place^G5117 where^G3699 men ought^G1163^(G5748) to worship^G4352^(G5721).

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Woman^G1135, believe^G4100^(G5657) me^G3427, the hour^G5610 cometh^G3754^G2064^(G5736), when^G3753 ye shall^G4352 neither^G3777 in^G1722 this^G5129 mountain^G3735, nor yet^G3777 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414, worship^G4352^(G5692) the Father^G3962.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

KJVYe^G5210 worship^G4352^(G5719) ye know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 what^G3739: we know^G1492^(G5758) what^G3739 we^G2249 worship^G4352^(G5719): for^G3754 salvation^G4991 is^G2076^(G5748) of^G1537 the Jews^G2453.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

KJVBut^G235 the hour^G5610 cometh^G2064^(G5736), and^G2532 now^G3568 is^G2076^(G5748), when^G3753 the true^G228 worshippers^G4353 shall worship^G4352^(G5692) the Father^G3962 in^G1722 spirit^G4151 and^G2532 in truth^G225: for^G2532^G1063 the Father^G3962 seeketh^G2212^(G5719) such^G5108 to worship^G4352^(G5723) him^G846.

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

KJVGod^G2316 is a Spirit^G4151: and^G2532 they that worship^G4352^(G5723) him^G846 must^G1163^(G5748) worship^G4352^(G5721) him in^G1722 spirit^G4151 and^G2532 in truth^G225.

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

KJVThe woman^G1135 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, I know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 Messias^G3323 cometh^G2064^(G5736), which^G3588 is called^G3004^(G5746) Christ^G5547: when^G3752 he^G1565 is come^G2064^(G5632), he will tell^G312^(G5692) us^G2254 all things^G3956.

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, I^G1473 that speak^G2980^(G5723) unto thee^G4671 am^G1510^(G5748) he.

²⁷ Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

KJVAnd^G2532 upon^G1909 this^G5129 came^G2064^(G5627) his^G846 disciples^G3101, and^G2532 marvelled^G2296^(G5656) that^G3754 he talked^G2980^(G5707) with^G3326 the woman^G1135: yet^G3305 no man^G3762 said^G2036^(G5627), What^G5101 seekest thou^G2212^(G5719)? or^G2228, Why^G5101 talkest thou^G2980^(G5719) with^G3326 her^G846?

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,

KJVThe woman^G1135 then^G3767 left^G863^(G5656) her^G846 waterpot^G5201, and^G2532 went her way^G565^(G5627) into^G1519 the city^G4172, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) to the men^G444,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”

KJVCome^G1205^(G5773), see^G1492^(G5628) a man^G444, which^G3739 told^G2036^(G5627) me^G3427 all things^G3956 that ever^G3745 I did^G4160^(G5656): is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3385 this^G3778 the Christ^G5547?

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

KJVThen^G3767 they went^G1831^(G5627) out of^G1537 the city^G4172, and^G2532 came^G2064^(G5711) unto^G4314 him^G846.

³¹ In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

KJV^G1161 In^G1722 the mean^G3342 while his disciples^G3101 prayed^G2065^(G5707) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G4461, eat^G5315^(G5628).

³² But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

KJVBut^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, I^G1473 have^G2192^(G5719) meat^G1035 to eat^G5315^(G5629) that^G3739 ye^G5210 know^G1492 not^G3756 of^G1492^(G5758).

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”

KJVTherefore^G3767 said^G3004^(G5707) the disciples^G3101 one to another^G4314^G240, Hath^G5342 any man^G3387 brought^G5342^(G5656) him^G846 ought to eat^G5315^(G5629)?

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, My^G1699 meat^G1033 is^G2076^(G5748) to^G2443 do^G4160^(G5725) the will^G2307 of him that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165, and^G2532 to finish^G5048^(G5661) his^G846 work^G2041.

³⁵ Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

KJVSay^G3004^(G5719) not^G3756 ye^G5210, There^G3754 are^G2076^(G5748) yet^G2089 four months^G5072, and^G2532 then cometh^G2064^(G5736) harvest^G2326? behold^G2400^(G5628), I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Lift up^G1869^(G5657) your^G5216 eyes^G3788, and^G2532 look on^G2300^(G5663) the fields^G5561; for^G3754 they are^G1526^(G5748) white^G3022 already^G2235 to^G4314 harvest^G2326.

³⁶ He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

KJVAnd^G2532 he that reapeth^G2325^(G5723) receiveth^G2983^(G5719) wages^G3408, and^G2532 gathereth^G4863^(G5719) fruit^G2590 unto^G1519 life^G2222 eternal^G166: that^G2443 both^G2532 he that soweth^G4687^(G5723) and^G2532 he that reapeth^G2325^(G5723) may rejoice^G5463^(G5725) together^G3674.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

KJVAnd^G1063 herein^G1722^G5129 is^G2076^(G5748) that saying^G3056 true^G228,^G3754 One^G243 soweth^G2076^(G5748)^G4687^(G5723), and^G2532 another^G243 reapeth^G2325^(G5723).

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

KJVI^G1473 sent^G649^(G5656) you^G5209 to reap^G2325^(G5721) that whereon^G3739 ye^G5210 bestowed^G2872 no^G3756 labour^G2872^(G5758): other men^G243 laboured^G2872^(G5758), and^G2532 ye^G5210 are entered^G1525^(G5754) into^G1519 their^G846 labours^G2873.

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

KJVAnd^G1161 many^G4183 of the Samaritans^G4541 of^G1537 that^G1565 city^G4172 believed^G4100^(G5656) on^G1519 him^G846 for^G1223 the saying^G3056 of the woman^G1135, which testified^G3140^(G5723),^G3754 He told^G2036^(G5627) me^G3427 all^G3956 that ever^G3745 I did^G4160^(G5656).

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

KJVSo^G3767 when^G5613 the Samaritans^G4541 were come^G2064^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, they besought^G2065^(G5707) him^G846 that he would tarry^G3306^(G5658) with^G3844 them^G846: and^G2532 he abode^G3306^(G5656) there^G1563 two^G1417 days^G2250.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

KJVAnd^G2532 many^G4183 more^G4119 believed^G4100^(G5656) because^G1223 of his own^G846 word^G3056;

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

KJVAnd^G5037 said^G3004^(G5707) unto the woman^G1135,^G3754 Now^G3765 we believe^G4100^(G5719), not^G3754 because^G1223 of thy^G4674 saying^G2981: for^G1063 we have heard^G191^(G5754) him ourselves^G846, and^G2532 know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) indeed^G230 the Christ^G5547, the Saviour^G4990 of the world^G2889.

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

KJVNow^G1161 after^G3326 two^G1417 days^G2250 he departed^G565^(G5627)^G1831^(G5627) thence^G1564, and^G2532 went into^G1519 Galilee^G1056.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

KJVFor^G1063 Jesus^G2424 himself^G846 testified^G3140^(G5656), that^G3754 a prophet^G4396 hath^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 honour^G5092 in^G1722 his own^G2398 country^G3968.

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

KJVThen^G3767 when^G3753 he was come^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, the Galilaeans^G1057 received^G1209^(G5662) him^G846, having seen^G3708^(G5761) all the things^G3956 that^G3739 he did^G4160^(G5656) at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414 at^G1722 the feast^G1859: for^G1063 they^G846 also^G2532 went^G2064^(G5627) unto^G1519 the feast^G1859.

⁴⁶ Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

KJVSo^G3767 Jesus^G2424 came^G2064^(G5627) again^G3825 into^G1519 Cana^G2580 of Galilee^G1056, where^G3699 he made^G4160^(G5656) the water^G5204 wine^G3631. And^G2532 there was^G2258^(G5713) a certain^G5100 nobleman^G937, whose^G3739 son^G5207 was sick^G770^(G5707) at^G1722 Capernaum^G2584.

⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

KJVWhen he^G3778 heard^G191^(G5660) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 was come^G2240^(G5719) out of^G1537 Judaea^G2449 into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, he went^G565^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, and^G2532 besought^G2065^(G5707) him^G846 that^G2443 he would come down^G2597^(G5632), and^G2532 heal^G2390^(G5667) his^G846 son^G5207: for^G1063 he was at the point^G3195^(G5707) of death^G599^(G5721).

⁴⁸ Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto^G4314 him^G846, Except^G3362 ye see^G1492^(G5632) signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059, ye will^G4100 not^G3364 believe^G4100^(G5661).

⁴⁹ The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

KJVThe nobleman^G937 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto^G4314 him^G846, Sir^G2962, come down^G2597^(G5628) ere^G4250 my^G3450 child^G3813 die^G599^(G5629).

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Go thy way^G4198^(G5737); thy^G4675 son^G5207 liveth^G2198^(G5719). And^G2532 the man^G444 believed^G4100^(G5656) the word^G3056 that^G3739 Jesus^G2424 had spoken^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, and^G2532 he went his way^G4198^(G5711).

⁵¹ As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”

KJVAnd^G1161 as he^G846 was now^G2235 going down^G2597^(G5723), his^G846 servants^G1401 met^G528^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 told^G518^(G5656) him, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 Thy^G4675 son^G3816 liveth^G2198^(G5719).

⁵² So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”

KJVThen^G3767 enquired he^G4441^(G5633) of^G3844 them^G846 the hour^G5610 when^G1722^G3739 he began^G2192^(G5627) to amend^G2866. And^G2532 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846,^G3754 Yesterday^G5504 at the seventh^G1442 hour^G5610 the fever^G4446 left^G863^(G5656) him^G846.

⁵³ So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.

KJVSo^G3767 the father^G3962 knew^G1097^(G5627) that^G3754 it was at^G1722 the same^G1565 hour^G5610, in^G1722 the which^G3739 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846,^G3754 Thy^G4675 son^G5207 liveth^G2198^(G5719): and^G2532 himself^G846 believed^G4100^(G5656), and^G2532 his^G846 whole^G3650 house^G3614.

⁵⁴ This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

KJVThis^G5124 is again^G3825 the second^G1208 miracle^G4592 that Jesus^G2424 did^G4160^(G5656), when he was come out^G2064^(G5631) of^G1537 Judaea^G2449 into^G1519 Galilee^G1056.

WEB·John 3

¹Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

KJV^G1161 There was^G2258^(G5713) a man^G444 of^G1537 the Pharisees^G5330, named^G3686^G846 Nicodemus^G3530, a ruler^G758 of the Jews^G2453:

² He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

KJVThe same^G3778 came^G2064^(G5627) to^G4314 Jesus^G2424 by night^G3571, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Rabbi^G4461, we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 thou art^G2064 a teacher^G1320 come^G2064^(G5754) from^G575 God^G2316: for^G1063 no man^G3762 can^G1410^(G5736) do^G4160^(G5721) these^G5023 miracles^G4592 that^G3739 thou^G4771 doest^G4160^(G5719), except^G3362 God^G2316 be^G5600^(G5753) with^G3326 him^G846.

³ Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Verily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, Except^G3362 a man^G5100 be born^G1080^(G5686) again^G509, he cannot^G1410^(G5736)^G3756 see^G1492^(G5629) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

⁴ Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

KJVNicodemus^G3530 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto^G4314 him^G846, How^G4459 can^G1410^(G5736) a man^G444 be born^G1080^(G5683) when he is^G5607^(G5752) old^G1088? can^G3361^G1410^(G5736) he enter^G1525^(G5629) the second time^G1208 into^G1519 his^G846 mother's^G3384 womb^G2836, and^G2532 be born^G1080^(G5683)?

⁵ Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662), Verily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, Except^G3362 a man^G5100 be born^G1080^(G5686) of^G1537 water^G5204 and^G2532 of the Spirit^G4151, he cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

KJVThat which is born^G1080^(G5772) of^G1537 the flesh^G4561 is^G2076^(G5748) flesh^G4561; and^G2532 that which is born^G1080^(G5772) of^G1537 the Spirit^G4151 is^G2076^(G5748) spirit^G4151.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’

KJVMarvel^G2296^(G5661) not^G3361 that^G3754 I said^G2036^(G5627) unto thee^G4671, Ye^G5209 must^G1163^(G5748) be born^G1080^(G5683) again^G509.

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

KJVThe wind^G4151 bloweth^G4154^(G5719) where^G3699 it listeth^G2309^(G5719), and^G2532 thou hearest^G191^(G5719) the sound^G5456 thereof^G846, but^G235 canst^G1492 not^G3756 tell^G1492^(G5758) whence^G4159 it cometh^G2064^(G5736), and^G2532 whither^G4226 it goeth^G5217^(G5719): so^G3779 is^G2076^(G5748) every one^G3956 that is born^G1080^(G5772) of^G1537 the Spirit^G4151.

⁹ Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

KJVNicodemus^G3530 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, How^G4459 can^G1410^(G5736) these things^G5023 be^G1096^(G5635)?

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 a master^G1320 of Israel^G2474, and^G2532 knowest^G1097^(G5719) not^G3756 these things^G5023?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

KJVVerily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, We speak^G2980^(G5719) that^G3754^G3739 we do know^G1492^(G5758), and^G2532 testify^G3140^(G5719) that^G3739 we have seen^G3708^(G5758); and^G2532 ye receive^G2983^(G5719) not^G3756 our^G2257 witness^G3141.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

KJVIf^G1487 I have told^G2036^(G5627) you^G5213 earthly things^G1919, and^G2532 ye believe^G4100^(G5719) not^G3756, how^G4459 shall ye believe^G4100^(G5692), if^G1437 I tell^G2036^(G5632) you^G5213 of heavenly things^G2032?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

KJVAnd^G2532 no man^G3762 hath ascended up^G305^(G5758) to^G1519 heaven^G3772, but^G1508 he that came down^G2597^(G5631) from^G1537 heaven^G3772, even the Son^G5207 of man^G444 which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752) in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

KJVAnd^G2532 as^G2531 Moses^G3475 lifted up^G5312^(G5656) the serpent^G3789 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048, even so^G3779 must^G1163^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of man^G444 be lifted up^G5312^(G5683):

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

KJVThat^G3363 whosoever^G3956 believeth^G4100^(G5723) in^G1519 him^G846 should^G622 not^G3363 perish^G622^(G5643), but^G235 have^G2192^(G5725) eternal^G166 life^G2222.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

KJVFor^G1063 God^G2316 so^G3779 loved^G25^(G5656) the world^G2889, that^G5620 he gave^G1325^(G5656) his^G846 only begotten^G3439 Son^G5207, that^G2443 whosoever^G3956 believeth^G4100^(G5723) in^G1519 him^G846 should^G622 not^G3361 perish^G622^(G5643), but^G235 have^G2192^(G5725) everlasting^G166 life^G2222.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

KJVFor^G1063 God^G2316 sent^G649^(G5656) not^G3756 his^G846 Son^G5207 into^G1519 the world^G2889 to^G2443 condemn^G2919^(G5725) the world^G2889; but^G235 that^G2443 the world^G2889 through^G1223 him^G846 might be saved^G4982^(G5686).

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

KJVHe that believeth^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 him^G846 is^G2919 not^G3756 condemned^G2919^(G5743): but^G1161 he that believeth^G4100^(G5723) not^G3361 is condemned^G2919^(G5769) already^G2235, because^G3754 he hath^G4100 not^G3361 believed^G4100^(G5758) in^G1519 the name^G3686 of the only begotten^G3439 Son^G5207 of God^G2316.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the condemnation^G2920, that^G3754 light^G5457 is come^G2064^(G5754) into^G1519 the world^G2889, and^G2532 men^G444 loved^G25^(G5656) darkness^G4655 rather^G3123 than^G2228 light^G5457, because^G1063 their^G846 deeds^G2041 were^G2258^(G5713) evil^G4190.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

KJVFor^G1063 every one^G3956 that doeth^G4238^(G5723) evil^G5337 hateth^G3404^(G5719) the light^G5457, neither^G2532^G3756 cometh^G2064^(G5736) to^G4314 the light^G5457, lest^G3363 his^G846 deeds^G2041 should be reproved^G1651^(G5686).

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

KJVBut^G1161 he that doeth^G4160^(G5723) truth^G225 cometh^G2064^(G5736) to^G4314 the light^G5457, that^G2443 his^G846 deeds^G2041 may be made manifest^G5319^(G5686), that^G3754 they are^G2076^(G5748) wrought^G2038^(G5772) in^G1722 God^G2316.

²² After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.

KJVAfter^G3326 these things^G5023 came^G2064^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 and^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 into^G1519 the land^G1093 of Judaea^G2449; and^G2532 there^G1563 he tarried^G1304^(G5707) with^G3326 them^G846, and^G2532 baptized^G907^(G5707).

²³ John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;

KJVAnd^G1161 John^G2491 also^G2532 was^G2258^(G5713) baptizing^G907^(G5723) in^G1722 Aenon^G137 near^G1451 to Salim^G4530, because^G3754 there was^G2258^(G5713) much^G4183 water^G5204 there^G1563: and^G2532 they came^G3854^(G5708), and^G2532 were baptized^G907^(G5712).

²⁴ for John was not yet thrown into prison.

KJVFor^G1063 John^G2491 was^G2258^(G5713) not yet^G3768 cast^G906^(G5772) into^G1519 prison^G5438.

²⁵ Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.

KJVThen^G3767 there arose^G1096^(G5633) a question^G2214 between^G3326 some of^G1537 John's^G2491 disciples^G3101 and the Jews^G2453 about^G4012 purifying^G2512.

²⁶ They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 they came^G2064^(G5627) unto^G4314 John^G2491, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Rabbi^G4461, he^G3739 that was^G2258^(G5713) with^G3326 thee^G4675 beyond^G4008 Jordan^G2446, to whom^G3739 thou^G4771 barest witness^G3140^(G5758), behold^G2396, the same^G3778 baptizeth^G907^(G5719), and^G2532 all^G3956 men come^G2064^(G5736) to^G4314 him^G846.

²⁷ John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

KJVJohn^G2491 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), A man^G444 can^G1410^(G5736)^G3756 receive^G2983^(G5721) nothing^G3762, except^G3362 it be^G5600^(G5753) given^G1325^(G5772) him^G846 from^G1537 heaven^G3772.

²⁸ You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’

KJVYe^G5210 yourselves^G846 bear^G3140 me^G3427 witness^G3140^(G5719), that^G3754 I said^G2036^(G5627), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 the Christ^G5547, but^G235 that^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) sent^G649^(G5772) before^G1715 him^G1565.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.

KJVHe that hath^G2192^(G5723) the bride^G3565 is^G2076^(G5748) the bridegroom^G3566: but^G1161 the friend^G5384 of the bridegroom^G3566, which^G3588 standeth^G2476^(G5761) and^G2532 heareth^G191^(G5723) him^G846, rejoiceth^G5463^(G5719) greatly^G5479 because^G1223 of the bridegroom's^G3566 voice^G5456: this^G3778 my^G1699 joy^G5479 therefore^G3767 is fulfilled^G4137^(G5769).

³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.

KJVHe^G1565 must^G1163^(G5748) increase^G837^(G5721), but^G1161 I^G1691 must decrease^G1642^(G5745).

³¹ “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

KJVHe that cometh^G2064^(G5740) from above^G509 is^G2076^(G5748) above^G1883 all^G3956: he that is^G5607^(G5752) of^G1537 the earth^G1093 is^G2076^(G5748) earthly^G1537^G1093, and^G2532 speaketh^G2980^(G5719) of^G1537 the earth^G1093: he that cometh^G2064^(G5740) from^G1537 heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) above^G1883 all^G3956.

³² What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

KJVAnd^G2532 what^G3739 he hath seen^G3708^(G5758) and^G2532 heard^G191^(G5656), that^G5124 he testifieth^G3140^(G5719); and^G2532 no man^G3762 receiveth^G2983^(G5719) his^G846 testimony^G3141.

³³ He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.

KJVHe that hath received^G2983^(G5631) his^G846 testimony^G3141 hath set to his seal^G4972^(G5656) that^G3754 God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G227.

³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

KJVFor^G1063 he whom^G3739 God^G2316 hath sent^G649^(G5656) speaketh^G2980^(G5719) the words^G4487 of God^G2316: for^G1063 God^G2316 giveth^G1325^(G5719) not^G3756 the Spirit^G4151 by^G1537 measure^G3358 unto him.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

KJVThe Father^G3962 loveth^G25^(G5719) the Son^G5207, and^G2532 hath given^G1325^(G5758) all things^G3956 into^G1722 his^G846 hand^G5495.

³⁶ One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

KJVHe that believeth^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 the Son^G5207 hath^G2192^(G5719) everlasting^G166 life^G2222: and^G1161 he that believeth not^G544^(G5723) the Son^G5207 shall^G3700 not^G3756 see^G3700^(G5695) life^G2222; but^G235 the wrath^G3709 of God^G2316 abideth^G3306^(G5719) on^G1909 him^G846.
