He that received seed on the rocky places is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy read more. but has no root in himself, but is only a temporary [disciple]; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he is immediately offended. And he that received seed among thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But he that received the seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, who also bears fruit, and produces some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty-fold.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become sons of God, to them that believe on his name, who are born not of superior blood, nor of a will of the flesh, nor of a will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and tabernacled with us and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only child with a father, full of grace and truth. John testified of him, and cried, saying, This is the one of whom I said, He that comes after me existed before me, for he was before me. For we all have received of his fullness, and grace for grace; for the law was given by Moses, the grace and truth were by Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he declared [him].

And no one has ascended into heaven but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up; read more. that every one believing in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every one believing in him may not perish but have eternal life. For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment; that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved; but he that does good comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, for they are wrought in God.

Then Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. read more. For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink. He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood continues in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me and I live by the Father, so he that eats me shall live by me. This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers eat and died, he that eats this bread shall live forever.

Then Jesus cried, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not; I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.

THEN Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.

Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify of myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I came and whither I go; but you know not whence I come or whither I go.

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

My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand.

And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him that sent me; and he that beholds me beholds him that sent me. read more. I have come a light into the world, that no one who believes in me should continue in darkness. And if any one hears my words and keeps them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world but to save the world. He that rejects me and receives not my words, has one that judges him; the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him at the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me gave me commandment what to say and what to speak; and I know that his commandment is eternal life. What things I speak, therefore, I so speak as the Father has told me.

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. If you had known me you would have known my Father; and from this time you know him and have seen him. read more. Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you I speak not of myself, but the Father continuing in me, he does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe on account of the works themselves.

And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.

Father, what thou hast given me, I will that they should be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world;

but these are recorded that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

and many of the brothers having been made confident by my bonds in the Lord have more abundant courage to speak the word without fear.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God thought it not a robbery to be equal with God; read more. but he abased himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man, and being found in form like a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient even till death, and the death of the cross. Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of beings in heaven and in the earth and under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

All things were created through him and for him, and he is before all things, and in him all things consist, and he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that he might himself be preeminent in all things, for in him [God] was well pleased that all fullness should dwell, and through him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, through him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens.

for in him dwells all the fullness of the Deity bodily

THAT which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld and our hands felt, concerning the Word of life,??2 and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us,??3 that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us.
