13. And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15. That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
16. For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
17. For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
18. He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19. And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
20. For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
21. But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
22. After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
23. And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
24. For John was not yet cast into prison.
25. And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
26. And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27. John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
28. You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
