"Then who are you?" they said; "tell us, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

"Nazaret!" said Nathanael, "can anything good come out of Nazaret?" "Come and see," said Philip.

Two days later a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee; the mother of Jesus was present,

Jesus performed this, the first of his Signs, at Cana in Galilee, thereby displaying his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, no one can see God's Realm unless he is born from above."

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb over again and be born?"

The wind blows where it wills; you can hear its sound, but you never know where it has come from or where it goes: it is the same with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Nicodemus answered, "How can that be?"

John answered, "No one can receive anything except as a gift from heaven.

You can bear me out, that I said, 'I am not the Christ'; what I said was, 'I have been sent in advance of him.'

"Come here, look at a man who has told me everything I ever did! Can he be the Christ?"

So the disciples asked each other, "Can anyone have brought him something to eat?"

Once more he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a royal official, whose son was lying ill at Capernaum;

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

I can do nothing of my own accord; I pass judgment on men as I am taught by God, and my judgment is just, because my aim is not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

How can you believe, you who accept credit from one another instead of aiming at the credit which comes from the only God?

They said, "Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he claim now, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

The Jews then wrangled with one another, saying, "How can he give us his flesh to eat?"

Now many of his disciples, on hearing it, said, "This is hard to take in! Who can listen to talk like this?"

so his brothers said to him, "Leave this and go across into Judaea, to let your disciples witness what you can do;

for nobody who aims at public recognition ever keeps his actions secret. Since you can do these deeds, display yourself to the world"

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

Yet here he is, opening his lips in public, and they say nothing to him! Can the authorities have really discovered that he is the Christ?

Which of you can convict me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

While daylight lasts, we must be busy with the work of God: night comes, when no one can do any work.

So the Pharisees asked him again how he had regained his sight, and he told them, "He smeared some clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I can see."

Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath"; others said, "How can a sinner perform such Signs?" They were divided on this.

and asked them, "Is this your son, the son you declare was born blind? How is it that he can see now?"

But how he can see to-day, we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask himself; he is of age, he can speak for himself."

To which he replied, "I do not know whether he is a sinner; one thing I do know, that once I was blind and now I can see."

Others said, "These are not a madman's words. Can a madman open the eyes of the blind?"

My Father who gave me them is stronger than all, and no one can snatch anything out of the Father's hand.

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

Remain in me, as I remain in you: just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, without remaining on the vine, neither can you, unless you remain in me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in me, as I in him, bears rich fruit (because apart from me you can do nothing).

So with you. Just now you are in sorrow, but I shall see you again and your heart will rejoice ??with a joy that no one can take from you.

Simon Peter, Thomas (who was called 'the Twin'), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the two sons of Zebedaeus, and two other disciples of his, were all together.

For the third time he asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Now Peter was vexed at being asked a third time, "Do you love me?" So he replied; "Lord, you know everything, you can see I love you." Jesus said, "Then feed my sheep.
