And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."

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

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

They asked him, "Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

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.

When the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."

Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

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

After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

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

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified behold, he is baptizing, and all are going to him."

Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

They went out of the city and came to him.

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.

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

They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man is indeed the Savior of the world."

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

They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk'?"

that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

You search the Scriptures, because in them you think that you have eternal life; and these are they that testify of me.

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

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

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.

And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

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."

Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

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.

Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

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?"

Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"

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

Then they said to him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

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'?"

It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life.

But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray him.

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?

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

Then they sought to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

And many of the people believed in him, and they said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

When they heard these words, some of the people said, "Surely this is the prophet."

They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee."

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

They said this to test him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

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'?"

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

You do the deeds of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father God."

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

They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"

They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

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."

The Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight.

And they asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory; we know that this man is a sinner."

Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

Then they reviled him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me;

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped from their hands.

And many came to him and they said, "John performed no sign, but all that John said about this man was true."

Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

The Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."

So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing by, that they may believe that you sent me."

So from that day on they plotted to put him to death.

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

Now a great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

They took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!"

His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

For this reason the people went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him;
