“And there were set there, six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins a piece. And Jesus said vnto them [servants], ‘Fill the waterpots with water.’ Then they filled them vp to the brim. Then he said vnto them, ‘Draw out now and bear [show] vnto the gouernor of the […]

“His [Jesus’] mother said vnto the seruants, ‘Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, do it’” (John 2:5 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, help us do the same. Whatever Your Son says in Scripture, we must do. Please help us to glorify You through Christ. In His holy name we ask. Thank you~

“Nathanael answered, and said vnto him [Jesus], ‘Rabbi, thou art that Son of God: thou art that King of Israel.’ Jesus answered, and said vnto him,  ‘Because I said vnto thee, I saw thee vnder the fig tree, believestt thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.’ And he [Jesus] said vnto him, ‘Verly, verly I say vnto you, hereafter […]

“Then Jesus turned about, and saw them [John’s two disciples] follow, and said vnto them, ‘What seek ye?’ And they said vnto him, ‘Rabbi’ (which is to say by interpretation, Master) ‘where dwellest thou?’ He said vnto them, ‘Come, and see.’ They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about […]

“So John bare record, saying, ‘I beheld that Spirit come down from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him [Christ], And I knew him not: but he [Father God] that sent me to baptize with water, he said vnto me, ‘Upon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come down, and tarry still on him, that is he […]

“This is he [Lamb of God] of whom I [John the Baptist] said, ‘After me cometh a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.’ And I knew him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water” (John 1:30, 31 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, please help us to remember […]

The next day John, seeth Jesus coming vnto him, and saith, ‘Behold that Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world’” (John 1:29 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we are grateful Your Son conquered sin. In Christ’s holy name we are joyful. Hallelujah~

“He [Christ] it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John did baptize” (John 1:27, 28 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, help us be as humble as John the Baptist that we may be pleasing in Your sight.

“And they [priests and Levites] asked him [John the Baptist], ‘What then?
