That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.

He was in the world,
and the world was created through Him,
yet the world did not recognize Him.

He came to His own,
and His own people did not receive Him.

But to all who did receive Him,
He gave them the right to be children of God,
to those who believe in His name,

He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “I am not the Messiah.”

I didn’t know Him, but I came baptizing with water so He might be revealed to Israel.”

I didn’t know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!”

Then He said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the chief servant.” And they did.

When the chief servant tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom

and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man.

For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are You? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”

I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

When they entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem during the festival. For they also had gone to the festival.

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the real bread from heaven.

Jesus replied to them, “Didn’t I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is the Devil!”

After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.

Didn’t Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill Me?”

“I did one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.

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

“Our father is Abraham!” they replied.

“If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

Then the Jews said, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death—ever!’

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

Then they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

“I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in My Father’s name testify about Me.

Many came to Him and said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what He did believed in Him.

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

Even though He had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in Him.

Nevertheless, many did believe in Him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be banned from the synagogue.

If anyone hears My words and doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

But I have told you these things so that when their time comes you may remember I told them to you. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

One of the high priest’s slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”

Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill the Scripture that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing. And this is what the soldiers did.

Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.

When they came to Jesus, they did not break His legs since they saw that He was already dead.

Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not go in.

For they still did not understand the Scripture that He must rise from the dead.

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.

So this report spread to the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
