He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.

He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him.

I didn't recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel."

I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, "The person on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, "We have found the Anointed One!" (which is translated "Messiah").

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.

Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

Jesus, however, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people

and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like, because he himself knew what was in every person.

although it was not Jesus who did the baptizing but his disciples

Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.

But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away from the crowd in that place.

When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

Jesus answered them, "I chose you, the Twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil."

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, because he didn't want to travel in Judea, since the Jewish leaders there were trying to kill him.

Moses gave you the Law, didn't he? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

Then the officers returned to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

They didn't realize that he was talking to them about the Father.

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

Then the Jewish leaders told him, "Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, "If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

So they asked him, "How, then, did you gain your eyesight?"

The Jewish leaders did not believe that the man had been blind and had gained sight until they summoned his parents

Then they asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he heal your eyes?"

He answered them, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?"

Jesus used this illustration with them, but they didn't understand what he was saying to them.

All who came before me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

Jesus told her, "I told you that if you believed you would see God's glory, didn't I?"

Many of the Jews who had come with Mary and who had observed what Jesus did believed in him.

Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

At first, his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

Although he had performed numerous signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,

Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.

If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I don't condemn him, because I didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

If I hadn't done among them the actions that no one else did, they wouldn't have any sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

But I've told you this, so that when the time comes you'll remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you this in the beginning, because I was still with you."

This was to fulfill what he had said, "I did not lose a single one of those you gave me."

Then one of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "I saw you in the garden with Jesus, didn't I?"

Then Jesus was led from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters early in the morning. The Jews did not go into the headquarters, to avoid becoming unclean and unable to eat the Passover meal.

Jesus replied, "Are you asking this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about me?"

Returning to his headquarters, he asked Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus did not answer him.

So they told each other, "Let's not tear it. Instead, let's throw dice to see who gets it." This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they threw dice." So that is what the soldiers did.

Since it was the Preparation Day, the Jewish leaders did not want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath, because that was a particularly important Sabbath. So they asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

Bending over to look inside, he noticed the linen cloths lying there, but didn't go in.

For they did not yet understand the Scripture that said that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

Simon Peter told them, "I'm going fishing." They all told him, "We'll go with you, too." So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.

Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.

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

So the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to Peter that he wasn't going to die, but, "If it's my will for him to remain until I come back, how does that concern you?"

Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down, the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.
