He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe because of him.

This was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and descendants of Levi to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

He replied, "I am ""a voice crying out in the wilderness, "Prepare the Lord's highway,"' as the prophet Isaiah said."

As he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables.

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "What sign can you show us as authority for doing these things?"

He came to Jesus at night and told him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

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

The Samaritan woman asked him, "How can you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" Because Jews do not have anything to do with Samaritans.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, "Please give me a drink,' you would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water."

I have sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have adopted their work as your own."

Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to those he chooses.

so that everyone may honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

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

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated. He also distributed as much fish as they wanted.

Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of me.

But there are some among you who don't believe..." - because Jesus knew from the beginning those who weren't believing, as well as the one who would betray him.

As a result, many of his disciples turned back and no longer associated with him.

But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, he went up himself, not openly but, as it were, in secret.

The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."

As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.

As long as I'm in the world, I'm the light of the world."

Then the neighbors and those who had previously seen him as a beggar said, "This is the man who used to sit and beg, isn't it?"

So the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had gained his sight. He told them, "He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see."

But we don't know how it is that he now sees, and we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age and can speak for himself."

That's why his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.

As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.

But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, he will give it to you."

As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and told him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

As a result, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness. There he remained with his disciples.

They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?"

Then Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written:

As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself."

As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

I've come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won't remain in the darkness.

And I know that what he commands brings eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."

Simon Peter told him, "Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"

I've set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to you.

So Simon Peter motioned to this man to ask Jesus about whom he was speaking.

I'm giving you a new commandment"to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it."

I will ask the Father to give you another Helper, to be with you always.

I'm leaving you at peace. I'm giving you my own peace. I'm not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid.

"Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.

"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and you'll receive it.

Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you'll abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

"This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.

"You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him a question, so he asked them, "Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again'?

On that day, you won't ask me for anything. Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whatever you ask the Father for in my name, he will give it to you.

At that time, you will make your requests in my name, so that I will have no need to ask the Father on your behalf,

Now we know that you know everything and don't need to have anyone ask you any questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God."

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your Name, the Name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

They don't belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

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

I ask not only on behalf of these men, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message,

so that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

"I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, and took his cloak as well. The cloak was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down.

Meanwhile, Mary stood crying outside the tomb. As she cried, she bent over and looked into the tomb.

Jesus told them again, "Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.

Then Jesus told them, "Come, have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?", because they knew it was the Lord.
