All [things] came into being through him, and apart from him not one [thing] came into being that has come into being.

This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.

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

For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.

He said to them, "Come and you will see!" So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day (it was about the tenth hour).

He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is interpreted "Peter").

Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater [things] than these!"

And he said to him, "Truly, truly I say to all of you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

And he made a whip of cords [and] drove [them] all out of the temple [courts], both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

His disciples remembered that it is written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."

Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up!"

Then the Jews said, "This temple has been under construction forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?"

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name [because they] saw his signs which he was doing.

But Jesus himself did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all [people],

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

so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified--look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!"

The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.

The Father loves the Son and has given all [things] into his hand.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains on him.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

You are not greater than our father Jacob, [are you], who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?"

Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.

But whoever drinks of this water which I will give to him will never be thirsty for eternity, but the water which I will give to him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw [water]!"

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

But an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such [people] [to be] his worshipers.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (the one called Christ); "whenever that one comes, he will proclaim all [things] to us."

Jesus said to them, "My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his work.

So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, [because they] had seen all [the things] he had done in Jerusalem at the feast (for they themselves had also come to the feast).

So Jesus said to him, "Unless you [people] see signs and wonders, you will never believe!"

Jesus said to him, "Go, your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he departed.

So the father knew that [it was] that same hour at which Jesus said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

Jesus, [when he] saw this one lying [there] and knew that he had [been sick] a long time already, said to him, "Do you want to become well?"

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)

But he answered them, "The one who made me well--that one said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk!'"

But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn [while] a crowd was in the place.

After these [things] Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you."

The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished.

For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

in order that all [people] will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

"Do not be astonished [at] this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice

and they will come out--those who have done good [things] to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil [things] to a resurrection of judgment.

I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my [own] will, but the will of the one who sent me.

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!

But if you do not believe that one's writings, how will you believe my words?"

Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one."

So they said to him, "Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see [it] and believe you? What will you do?

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty again.

Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose [any] of them, but raise them up on the last day.

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

It is written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, [so] also the one who eats me--that one will live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

He said these [things] [while] teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.

Jesus answered and said to them, "I performed one work, and you are all astonished.

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

But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, [will he]?"

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

So the Jews said to one another, "Where [is] this one going to go, that we will not find him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, [is he]?

What is this saying that he said, 'You will seek me and will not find [me], and where I am, you cannot come'?"

the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, 'Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.'"

Now early in the morning he came again to the temple [courts]. And all the people were coming, and he sat down [and] began to teach them.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

He spoke these words by the treasury [while] teaching in the temple [courts], and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

Then the Jews began to say, "Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am [he], you will die in your sins."

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

[While] he was saying these [things], many believed in him.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

They replied to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, 'You will become free'?"

So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.

Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death {forever}."

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

It is necessary [for] us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

But how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him! {He is a mature adult}; he will speak for himself!"

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one.

Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them.

I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.

And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock--one shepherd.

So the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him, "{How long will you keep us in suspense}? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!"

And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish {forever}, and no one will seize them out of my hand.

My Father, who has given [them] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize [them] from the Father's hand.

(Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

So the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."
