And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.

John testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

No one has seen God at any time. The only God, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

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 John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."

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).

On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."

And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

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

His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."

He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.

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,

And he made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables.

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

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

The Jewish leaders therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"

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

The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, after seeing his signs which he did.

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

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."

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man.

For John was not yet thrown into prison.

John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given to him from heaven.

What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Jesus answered 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."

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

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.

In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

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

The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

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.

After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

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.

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him."

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.

This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

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

Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"

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

The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Jesus therefore answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

"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,

and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

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

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?"

This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

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

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."

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.

They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"

They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

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

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.

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

This is the will of him who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

This is the will of my Father who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

The Jewish people therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

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?'"

It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

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

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

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

The Jews therefore argued with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

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.

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

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."

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?"

But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

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.

He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by the Father."

At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

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.

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.

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

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
