Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

But as many as received him--to those who believe in his name--he gave to them authority to become children of God,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God."

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you {forever}--

God [is] spirit, and the ones who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.

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

and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

But when he--the Spirit of truth--comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.

All [things] came into being through him, and apart from him not one [thing] came into being that has come into being.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name--that one will teach you all [things], and will remind you of everything that I said to you.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own [nature], because he is a liar and the father {of lies}.

This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.

"I am the vine; you [are] the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him--this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

And he made a whip of cords [and] drove [them] all out of the temple [courts], both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

Sanctify them in the truth--your word is truth.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live,

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples,

The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that [you are] a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him."

I have said these [things] to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world."

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

That one was not the light, but [came] in order that he could testify about the light.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains on him.

But an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such [people] [to be] his worshipers.

You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.

"Do not be astonished [at] this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice

Now [when it] was evening on that day--the first [day] of the week--and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace to you."

No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

After these [things] [there] was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, thus it is necessary [that] the Son of Man be lifted up,

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born [when he] is an old man? He is not able to enter into his mother's womb for the second time and be born, [can he]?"

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you--not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let [them] be afraid.

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

But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.

Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,

Now on the first [day] of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, [while it] was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

Philip replied to him, "Two hundred denarii [worth of] bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little."

So Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these [things] also the Son does likewise.

"And I do not ask on behalf of these only, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word,

Now on the last day of the feast--the great [day]--Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink,

Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God and who it is who says to you, 'Give me [water] to drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

After these [things] Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you."

Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, [and] having loved [his] own in the world, loved them to the end.

So the Jews answered and said to him, "What sign do you show to us, because you are doing these [things]?"

But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn [while] a crowd was in the place.

So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you."

So some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he is saying to us, 'A little [while] and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

But he answered them, "The one who made me well--that one said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk!'"

And it was necessary [for] him to go through Samaria.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here."

The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

Jesus said to him, "Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jesus replied, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here."

He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, and the world did not recognize him.

I still have many [things] to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now.

Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

Jesus said to her, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.'"

After these [things] Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias).

And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these [things] on the Sabbath.

I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my [own] will, but the will of the one who sent me.

No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life.

On the next day again John was standing [there], and two of his disciples,

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

Now there are also many other [things] that Jesus did, which--if they were written down one after the other--I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

and carrying for himself the cross, he went out to the [place] called The Place of a Skull (which is called Golgotha in Aramaic),

I have glorified you on earth [by] completing the work that you have given me {to do}.

and they will come out--those who have done good [things] to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil [things] to a resurrection of judgment.

So then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has {no power} {over} me.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this [reason] the world hates you.

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

The woman answered and said to him, "I do not have a husband." Jesus said to her, "You have said rightly, 'I do not have a husband,'

So they said to him, "What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?"

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain [the sins] of any, they are retained."

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

And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, '[The one] upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him--this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

{They will expel you from the synagogue}, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.

the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy {to untie} the strap of his sandal!"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

I am the bread of life.

Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from--but the servants who had drawn the water knew--the head steward summoned the bridegroom

And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, in order that they may be one, just as we [are] one--

I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

"I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, 'The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but, 'He said, I am king of the Jews.'"

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.

[When he] had said these [things], Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, "Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me."

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's residence. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the governor's residence so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.

and because he did not {need} anyone {to testify} about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

Remember the word that I said to you: 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing and made four shares--for each soldier a share--and the tunic. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top {in a single piece}.)

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Every branch that does not bear fruit in me, he removes it, and every [branch] that bears fruit, he prunes it in order that it may bear more fruit.

If then I--[your] Lord and Teacher--wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!"

"Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? But for this [reason] I have come to this hour!

The Jews answered him, "We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, [although you] are a man, make yourself [to be] God!"

Thus many of his disciples, [when they] heard [it], said, "This saying is hard! Who can understand it?"

in order that all [people] will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

And after these [things], Joseph [who was] from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but a secret one for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed [it], so he came and took away his body.

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found [the one] whom Moses wrote [about] in the law, and the prophets wrote [about]--Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!"

This one is [the one] about whom I said, 'After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

Then Pilate entered again into the governor's residence and summoned Jesus and said to him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

For this [reason] many of his disciples {drew back} and were not walking with him any longer.

He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is interpreted "Peter").

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

And John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him.

Just as you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

If you understand these [things], you are blessed if you do them.

And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. [Although] the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said, "Peace to you."

But Jesus himself did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all [people],

Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in [their] midst,

When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded [them], and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

And he said to them, "Now draw [some] out and take [it] to the head steward. So they took [it].

And he found in the temple [courts] those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated.

Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask him, and he said to them, "Are you deliberating with one another about this--that I said, 'A little [while], and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me'?

This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is translated "Christ").

It is written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.

So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw [water]!"

Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world preserves it for eternal life.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!

You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you is asking me, 'Where are you going?'

Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!"

So the Pharisees said to him, "You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true."

So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but [is] from the one who sent me.

If you ask me anything in my name, I will do [it].

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

He will glorify me, because he will take from what [is] mine and will proclaim [it] to you.

Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is] in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)

Then Jesus, [because he] knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make [him] king, withdrew again up the mountain [by] himself alone.

So Jesus found a young donkey [and] sat on it, just as it is written,

So [when he] arrived, Jesus found he had already [been] four days in the tomb.

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and dries up, and they gather them and throw [them] into the fire, and they are burned.

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

He said to him a third [time], "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed because he said to him a third [time], "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep!

And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, "He is a good [man]," but others were saying, "No, but he deceives the crowd."

So they gathered [them], and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.

On that day you will know that I [am] in my Father, and you [are] in me, and I [am] in you.

And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

And if anyone hears my words and does not observe [them], I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, {why} do you not believe me?

And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

And they said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone.

The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well.

They brought him--the one formerly blind--to the Pharisees.

Pilate replied, "What I have written, I have written."

So this saying went out to the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but "If I want him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you?"

Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these [people] know what I said."

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him."

But they will do all these [things] to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus has died,

However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

(Now Jesus had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about {real sleep}.)

Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these [men] have come to know that you sent me.

(His disciples did not understand these [things] at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these [things] had been written about him and they did these [things] to him.)

Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.

I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me."

(Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.)

So the crowd who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify.

And Jesus, turning around and seeing them following [him], said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means [when] translated "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"

and I am glad {for your sake} that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

"Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion! Behold, your king is coming, seated on the foal of a donkey!"

The one who hates me hates my Father also.
