He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but the world did not recognize him.

He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

He confessed -- he did not deny but confessed -- "I am not the Christ!"

I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel."

And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining -- this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the head steward," and they did.

Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs, in Cana of Galilee. In this way he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can't be the Messiah, can he?"

So the disciples began to say to one another, "No one brought him anything to eat, did they?"

I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified, "He told me everything I ever did."

Jesus did this as his second miraculous sign when he returned from Judea to Galilee.

But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.

When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

But there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)

After this many of his disciples quit following him and did not accompany him any longer.

Jesus replied, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?"

Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, "Whenever the Christ comes, he won't perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?"

What did he mean by saying, 'You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why didn't you bring him back with you?"

Jesus stood up straight and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

(They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)

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

Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?"

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

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?"

Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.

(Now he did not say this on his own, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,

(His disciples did not understand these things when they first happened, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him and that these things had happened to him.)

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.

But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. "I did not 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, "Did I not see you in the orchard with him?"

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor's residence. (Now it was very early morning.) They did not go into the governor's residence so they would not be ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.

So the soldiers said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it." This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice." So the soldiers did these things.

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

He bent down and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in.

(For they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.)

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so.

When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

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

So the saying circulated among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, "If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours?"

There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
