He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

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

He came to his own, and those who were 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, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."

They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.

He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."

I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

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

When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."

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

and because he did not need anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

The same came to him 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.'

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

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

Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you do not receive our witness.

If I 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 one and 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 judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

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

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

For John was not yet thrown into prison.

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

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

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

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

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

Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

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

They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

But he who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

"Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Do not marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.

"If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.

Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

I do not receive glory from men.

But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.

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

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

"Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

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

Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

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

On the next day, the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you 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 then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

Therefore Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

This is the bread which came down out of heaven?not as the fathers ate, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

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 it was who would betray him.

Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You do not also want to go away, do you?"

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

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.

For even his brothers did not believe in him.

Jesus therefore 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, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

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

There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."

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

Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

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

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?

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

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

The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."

Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.

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

Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

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

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

A bondservant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
