This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

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

Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

They asked him, and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?”

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.”

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

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.”

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’

You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?”

The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,

and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

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.

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

Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

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?

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

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

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”

And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

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

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God.”

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.

He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out.

Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “We are not blind too, are we?”

All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

Others were saying, “These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?”

The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.

I and the Father are one.”

Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”

Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

The disciples *said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”

Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.”

Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.”

Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”

For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”

Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?”

You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

You are My friends if you do what I command you.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?

His disciples *said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.

I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;

and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

Then the slave-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.”

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”

So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death,”

Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”

Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

and he entered into the Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar.”

And they *said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She *said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

Jesus *said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing Him to be the gardener, she *said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

Jesus *said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.
