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

No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

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

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”

Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.”

Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each.

And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him.

When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom,

and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”

Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

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

No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.

What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

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

Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus *said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’;

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 an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

The woman *said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.”

At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”

But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

So the disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?”

and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and his whole household.

Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”

The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”

Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

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

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

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

They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

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 that would betray Him.

And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.”

Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was near.

For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”

Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from.”

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?

But this crowd which does not know the Law is accursed.”

They answered him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.”

Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?”

Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”

She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]

Jesus answered and said to 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 come from or where I am going.

So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’

and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the one.”

They said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”

The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
