No one has seen God [His essence, His divine nature] at any time; the [One and] only begotten God [that is, the unique Son] who is in the intimate presence of the Father, He has explained Him [and interpreted and revealed the awesome wonder of the Father].

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And Jesus saith unto her - What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Then the Jews retorted, “What sign (attesting miracle) can You show us as [proof of] your authority for doing these things?”

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God."

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!

The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it came, and where it goes: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Jesus answered him, "You're the teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this?

If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.’

The Samaritan woman asked him, "How can you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" Because Jews do not have anything to do with Samaritans.

She said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with [no bucket and rope] and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?

miles away from Cana].

Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?

So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"

The one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, in order that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

And after two days he departed thence, and went into Cana of Galilee.

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

Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.

Jesus said to him, "You can go home. Your son is going to live." The man believed what Jesus said to him and went home.

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

{Then Jesus, when he looked up} and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these [people] can eat?"

"Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."

So they said to him, "What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?"

So they said to Him, “What sign (attesting miracle) will You do that we may see it and believe You? What [supernatural] work will You do [as proof]?

Then Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one coming unto me can never hunger, and the one believing on me shall never thirst.

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

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

I am the living bread who came down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. Yes, and the bread that I will give [him] is my physical body, [so] that the world can have [never ending] life."

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

It is the Holy Spirit who [Note: The Greek word here is "that" instead of "who"] gives life [i.e., understanding the spiritual nature of Jesus' teaching can produce spiritual life]; the flesh is of no value [i.e., understanding Jesus' teaching only in a physical sense makes it worthless]. The words I have spoken to you are [from the] Holy Spirit and [they give] life.

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

So the Jews kept looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

The Jewish leaders were astonished and remarked, "How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?"

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is of God or whether I speak on My own accord and by My own authority.

If a person is circumcised on a Sabbath day so that the law of Moses can be observed [properly, then why] are you upset with me for restoring a person to complete health on a Sabbath day?

placed after 5:47] The Jews were amazed, saying, "How can this uneducated fellow manage to read?"

And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from."

But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they kept saying, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs and exhibit more proofs than this Man?”

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

What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come'?"

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: the one following me can not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of the life.

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 can't come."

The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"

“We are descendants of Abraham,” they answered Him, “and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will become free’?”

Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word.

Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me?

Jesus answered, "It was neither for his own sin nor for that of his parents, but to let what God can do be illustrated in his case.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

So they said to him, "Then how does it happen that you can see?"

So again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight.

“He put mud on my eyes,” he told them. “I washed and I can see.”

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

"Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?"

but as to how he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him [and stop asking us]; he is of age, he will speak for himself and give his own account of it.”

He answered, “Whether or not He’s a sinner, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see!”

He answered, “I already told you and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again and again? Do you want to become His disciples, too?”

He answered, "Who is he, sir? [Tell me], so I can believe in him."

And Jesus said, "I came to this world to judge [it], so that people who can not see [spiritually] will [be able to] see; and those who [think they can] see [spiritually] will become blind."

Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin, but now because you claim that you can see, your guilt remains."

The thief {comes only} so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have [it] abundantly.

The Father loves me because I [am about to] give up my life, so that I can take it back again.

no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father.

Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in a day? [i.e., hours of daylight]. If a person walks during daylight, he will not stumble because he can see [by] the sun's light.

He said these [things], and after this he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him."

Then Thomas, which means, "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, so we can die with Him." [i.e., by being stoned to death with Jesus. See 11:8].

every one living and believing on me can never die: do you believe this?

Then the chief priests and Pharisees gathered a sanhedrin, and said, What can we do? For this man does many miracles.

Then Jesus said, "Leave her alone so she can observe the day of my burial,

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

Now, is my soul troubled, - and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!

At this the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; how then can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

[So], believe in the Light [i.e., Jesus is speaking of Himself] while you [still] have the Light [with you], so that you can become enlightened people." After Jesus said these things, He left there and hid Himself from them.

I have come as light into the world, so that no one who continues to believe in me can remain in darkness.

Peter said to Him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered, "Unless I do wash you, you can have no share with me."

Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you can't come,' so now I tell you.

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards."

“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

Jesus answered him, "I am the way [to God], and the truth [to believe], and the life [to live]. No one can go to the Father, except through [believing in] me.
