Jew , concerning purification [ probably baptism ] . Whereupon they came to John and said unto him , ' Rabbi , [ teacher , ] he who was with thee beyond [ or beside ] the Jordan , to whom thou barest witness , behold , he baptizeth , and ail men come unto him . ' John answered and said _ , Aman can receive nothing unless it be given JblmTr ^ nTlTeave n .

bride is the bridegroom , but the friend of the bridegroom , who standeth and heareth him , rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom ' s voice . This my joy therefore is fulfilled . He must increase but I must decrease . ' [ Here most probably the Baptist ends , and the Evangelist continues , ] He who cometh from above is above ail . He who is of the earth , is of the earth , and speaketh of the earth ; he w ho cometh from heaven is above all . And what he hath seen and heard , that he testifieth , but no one receiveth his testimony . He who hath received his testimony , hath sealed

Jesus , therefore , being wearied with the journey , sat accordingly on the well ; it was about the sixth hour . There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water . Jesus saith unto her , ' Give me to drink .
