And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

The Jews ’  request to break Jesus ’  legs was a custom at the time to check whether the condemned were ...

   The one who testifies about that light   John 1:4-5  『 In him was life(en auto zoe en), and this life(he zoe) was the light(en to phos) of men(ton andropos). And the light(to phos) shines(painei) in the darkness(en te scotia), but the darkness(he scotia) did not understand(auto u katelraven) 』 ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.

Then Jesus came to me and told me to drink water (the Holy Spirit). Jesus described the water as a river of living water.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 』 Tote ( Τ ό τε ) is a relative pronoun that connects the previous sentence, not when, but the meaning of then, which means after.

You shall purge the evil from Israel. If a virgin woman is betrothed to a man, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, you shall take them both out to the gate of your city and stone them to death. The virgin, because she did not cry out while she was in the city, and the man, because he humbled his neighbor's wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst." Based on this co...
