Then they said to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.

I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it.

And he said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of merchandise!"

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did.

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and testify to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purifying.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now full.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

So he came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

"Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?"

Do you not say, 'There are yet four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are already white for harvest.

And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

Many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was sick.

Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe."

So he inquired of them the hour when his son got better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his household.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you."

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were diseased.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing.

So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

So they said to him, "What sign will you perform then, that we may see it and believe you? What work will you do?

Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has everlasting life.

So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me.

What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before?

So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

Here he is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is the Christ?

So there was a division among the people because of him.

Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say?"

I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak just what the Father taught me.

They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free'?"

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the things Abraham did,

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you are not able to hear my word.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he will never see death."

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?"

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad."

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."

So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the saliva, and anointed the man's eyes with the clay.

And he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

He answered and said, "A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight."

Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

So they again said to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
