He came into the world, and though the world through Him began to exist, it did not recognize Him.

He came into His own world, but His own people did not welcome Him.

But to all who did accept Him, and trust in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God,

He frankly admitted, and did not try at all to deny it; yes, he frankly admitted, "I am not the Christ."

I did not know Him myself, but I came baptizing in water, that He might be made known to Israel."

I did not know Him myself, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining, is the One who is to baptize in the Holy Spirit.'

I did see it; and my testimony is that He is the Son of God."

As soon as the manager tasted the water just turned into wine, without knowing where it came from, although the servants who had drawn the water did know, he called the bridegroom

So after He had risen from the dead, His disciples recalled that He had said this, and so believed the Scripture and the statement that He had made.

"Come, see a man who has told me everything I ever did. He is not the Christ, is He?"

Many of the Samaritans in that town believed in Him because of the woman's testimony, when she said, "He has told me everything I ever did."

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they kept on urging Him to stay with them; so He did stay there two days.

The king's officer pleaded with Him, "Sir, come down at once before my child is dead!"

The man who had been cured did not know who He was, for since there was a crowd at the place, Jesus had slipped away.

For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them live on, so the Son too makes alive any whom He chooses to.

I most solemnly say to you, a time is coming -- indeed, it is already here -- when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen to it will live.

So when they had crossed the sea and found Him, they asked Him, "Teacher, when did you get here?"

But there are some of you who do not trust in me." For Jesus knew from the start who they were that did not trust in Him, and who it was that was going to betray Him.

Jesus answered them, "Did I not myself select you as the Twelve? And yet one of you is a devil."

For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one of you is keeping that law. If so, why are you trying to kill me?"

Jesus answered them, "I have done just one deed, and yet you are all dumbfounded!

But many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, He will not perform greater wonder-works than He did, will He?"

He straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.

They answered Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, you must be practicing what Abraham did.

But right now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that He has learned from God. Abraham never did that.

Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that you are under the power of a demon. Abraham is dead; the prophets too, and yet you say, 'If anyone follows my teaching, he will never experience death.'

You are not greater than our forefather Abraham, are you? He is dead and the prophets are dead. Who do you claim to be?"

So they kept on asking him, "How in the world did you come to see?"

But the Jews did not believe that he had really been blind and that he had come to see again, until they called the parents of the man who saw again,

Again they said to him, "What did He do to you? How did He make your eyes to see again?"

Jesus told them this allegory, but they did not understand what He meant by it.

The Jews retorted, "It is not for a good deed but for blasphemy we are going to stone you; namely, because you, although a mere man, claim to be God."

And many people came to Him and kept on saying, "John did not perform any wonder-works, but everything he ever said about this man was true."

So Jesus then told them plainly: "Lazarus is dead,

Jesus said, "Slip the stone aside." The dead man's sister, Martha, said to Him, "Lord, by this time he is offensive, for he has been dead four days."

Jesus said to her, "Did I not promise you that if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?"

Then out came the dead man, his feet and hands tied with wrappings, and his face tied up with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."

Now he did not say this on his own authority, but because he was high priest that year he uttered this prophecy from God, that Jesus was to die for the nation,

Now six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus lived, whom He had raised from the dead.

A goodly number of the Jews learned that He was at Bethany, and so they came there, not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

His disciples at the time did not understand this, but after Jesus was glorified, they remembered that this had been written about Him and that they had fulfilled it in His case.

The crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead, kept on talking about it.

Jesus answered, "This voice did not come for my sake, but for yours.

Although He had performed so many wonder-works right before their eyes, they did not believe in Him,

And yet in spite of all this, even among the leading men many came to believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not own it, for fear of being turned out of the synagogue,

But I have told you these things that when the time does come, you may remember that I told you. I did not tell you these things at the start, because I was with you.

I did come from the Father and I have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

So now, Father, glorify me up there in your presence just as you did before the world existed.

for I have given them the teachings that you gave me, and they have accepted them, and they have come to know in reality that I did come from you, and so they are convinced that you did send me.

Righteous Father, although the world did not know you, I did know you, and these men have come to know that you sent me,

One of the high priest's slaves, who was a kinsman of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would have been fighting to keep me from being turned over to the Jews. But as a matter of fact, my kingdom does not come from such a source."

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it to see who gets it." This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, "They divided my clothes among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." Now this was what the soldiers did.

But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs,

And he stooped down and peered in and saw the bandages lying on the ground, but he did not go in.

For they had not previously understood the Scripture which said that He must rise from the dead.

On saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Now just as day was breaking, Jesus took His stand on the shore, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

Then He said to them, "Set your net on the right side of the boat, and you will catch them." They did so, and they could not drag it in for the big catch of fish.

This was now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead.

So the report got out among the brothers that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not tell him that he was not going to die; He said only, "If I wish him to wait until I come, what is that to you?"

There are many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were all written down in detail, I do not suppose that the world itself could hold the books that would have to be written.
