The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.

He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

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

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

John answered them, "I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.

It is he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."

I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

And he said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of merchandise!"

But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,

and he had no need for anyone to bear witness of man, for he knew what was in man.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."

Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and testify to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

For John had not yet been put in prison.

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but I have been sent before him.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

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.

I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

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.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice

"I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

"If I bear witness of myself, my testimony is not true.

Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

"I do not receive glory from men.

But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"

Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each one of them to have a little."

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

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.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."

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

But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

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'?"

Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

Not that any one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever."

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.

Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

For even his brothers did not believe in him.

Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come."

But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but in secret.

Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?"

Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

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

Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

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

You will seek me, and you will not find me; where I am you cannot come."

The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

What does he mean when he said, 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"

Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?"

The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness of yourself; your testimony is not true."

Jesus answered, "Even if I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Therefore I told to you that you would die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

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

And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."

And a slave does not continue in the house forever, but a son continues forever.

but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
