He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.

The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.

And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.

And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.

Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

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

The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.

It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,

Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:

Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.

And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.
