d this is the judgment, that light has
come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light;
for their deeds were evil. (20)For every one that does evil hates the
light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
(21)But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may
be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

(22)After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of
Judaea; and there he remained with them, and immersed. (23)And John
also was immersing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much
water there; and they came, and were immersed. (24)For John was not
yet cast into prison.

(25)There arose therefore a question, on the part of John's disciples
with a Jew, about purification. (26)And they came to John and said to
him: Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast
borne witness, behold, he immerses, and all come to him.

(27)John answered and said: A man can receive nothing, except it be
given him from heaven. (28)Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said,
I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him. (29)He that 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.
This my joy therefore is made full. (30)He must increase, but I must
decrease. (31)He that comes from above is above all; he that is from
the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth; he that comes from
heaven is above all. (32)And what he has seen and heard, that he
testifies; and his testimony no one receives. (33)He that received his
testimony has set his seal, That God is true. (34)For he whom God sent
forth speaks the words of God; for he gives not[3:34] the Spirit by
measure. (35)The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into
his hand. (36)He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he
that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God
abides on him.

WHEN therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard, that Jesus made
and immersed more disciples than John (2)(though Jesus himself
immersed not, but his disciples), (3)he left Judaea, and departed
again into Galilee. (4)And he must go through Samaria. (5)He comes
therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar[4:5], near to the parcel
of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. (6)And Jacob's well was
there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with the journey, sat
