Now those men had been sent from the Pharisees.

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.

Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from two to three measures.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.

and told him, "Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!"

Now there was a man from the Pharisees, a leader of the Jews, whose name was Nicodemus.

It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom's friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom's voice. That's why this joy of mine is now complete.

Now when Jesus realized that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John

Now it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

Jesus told her, "You are quite right in saying, "I don't have a husband,' because you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."

Yet the time is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Indeed, the Father is looking for people like that to worship him.

You say, don't you, "In four more months the harvest will begin?' Look, I tell you, open your eyes and observe that the fields are ready for harvesting now!

Now many of the Samaritans of that town believed in Jesus because the woman had testified, "He told me everything I've ever done."

They kept telling the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."

Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.

The man immediately became well, and he picked up his mat and started walking. Now that day was a Sabbath.

But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I, too, am working."

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the time approaches, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass in that area, so they sat down, numbering about 5,000 men.

Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, because this man was going to betray him, even though he was one of the Twelve.

Now the Jewish Festival of Tents was approaching.

Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who were believing in him were to receive, because the Spirit was not yet present and Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. What do you say?"

"No one, sir," she replied. Then Jesus said, "I don't condemn you, either. Go home, and from now on don't sin anymore."

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

Then the Jewish leaders told him, "Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, "If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and healed his eyes.

So the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had gained his sight. He told them, "He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see."

and asked them, "Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How does he now see?"

But we don't know how it is that he now sees, and we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age and can speak for himself."

But he responded, "I don't know whether he is a sinner or not. The one thing I do know is that I used to be blind and now I can see!"

Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, "We see,' your sin still exists."

Now Hanukkah was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter,

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?"

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away,

But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, he will give it to you."

Now Jesus had not yet arrived at the village but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, "Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days."

Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

Now the Jewish Passover was approaching, and before the Passover many people from the countryside went up to Jerusalem to purify themselves.

Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that whoever knew where he was should tell them so that they could arrest him.

Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.

"Now my soul is in turmoil, and what should I say "Father, save me from this hour'? No! It was for this very reason that I came to this hour.

Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin. Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.

Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus answered him, "You don't realize now what I'm doing, but later on you'll understand."

I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that I AM.

Now no one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him.

After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

Little children, I'm with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but what I told the Jewish leaders I now tell you, "Where I'm going, you cannot come.'

Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "I'm going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow me later on."

"Lord, why can't I follow you now?" Peter asked him. "I would lay down my life for you!"

If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him and have seen him."

I've told you this now, before I leave, so that when I do leave, you will believe.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have any sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I hadn't done among them the actions that no one else did, they wouldn't have any sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

"But now I am going to the one who sent me. Yet none of you asks me, "Where are you going?'

"I still have a lot to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.

Now you are having pain. But I'll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

I left the Father and came into the world. Now I'm leaving the world and going back to the Father."

Jesus' disciples said, "Well, now you're speaking plainly and not using figurative language.

Now we know that you know everything and don't need to have anyone ask you any questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God."

Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

"So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.

Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you,

"And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But for now my kingdom is not from here."

At this, they shouted out again, "Not this fellow, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about noon. He told the Jewish leaders, "Here is your king!"

After this, when Jesus realized that everything was now completed, he said (in order to fulfill the Scripture), "I'm thirsty."

Then Jesus told them, "Come, have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?", because they knew it was the Lord.

This was now the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.

Now he said this to show by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, Jesus told him, "Keep following me."
