All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.

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.

For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

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

They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

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

These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come, and you will see." 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. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."

Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jewish manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.

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,

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

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."

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.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?

Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"

Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

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

The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"

They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

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.

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."

Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.

In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.

Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."

He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

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

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

"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.

A great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were sick.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

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.

When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

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.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak 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 who would betray him.

We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."

His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

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

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

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

The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

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

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?

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

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.

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

The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you cannot 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.

Hasn't the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

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

Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

"Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

They, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."

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.

It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.

They said therefore 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."

Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."

The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"

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

I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"

I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."

They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."

Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
