The real light, which sheds light upon everyone, was just coming into the world.

Now this is the testimony which John gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem, to ask him, "Who are you?"

Now Jesus turned, and as He saw them following Him, He said, "What are you looking for?" They said to Him, "Rabbi," (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He first found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means, the Christ).

Then he took him to Jesus. Jesus looked him over and said, "You are Simon, son of John. From now on your name shall be Cephas" (which means Peter, or Rock).

Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people, because they saw the wonder-works which He was performing, trusted in Him as the Christ.

So He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the field which Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

I have sent you to reap a harvest which you have not labored to make. Other men have labored, but you have reaped the results of their labors."

Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-gate there is a pool called in Hebrew Bethzatha, which has five porticoes,

There is someone else who testifies to me, and I know that the testimony which He gives to me is of force.

But I have testimony that is higher than John's, for the works which my Father has committed to me to finish, the very works that I am doing, testify to me that the Father has sent me;

And a vast crowd continued to follow Him, for they pressed on to view the wonder-works which He performed for the sick people.

So they picked them up and filled twelve baskets with the pieces that were left from the five barley loaves, which were more than the eaters wanted.

Stop toiling for the food that perishes, but toil for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has given Him authority to do so."

But this mob, which knows nothing about the law, is bound to be accursed!"

and said, "Go and wash them in the pool of Siloam" (which means One who has been sent). So he went and washed them and went home seeing.

He answered, "The man called Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So when I had gone and washed them I could see."

Jesus answered them, "I have already told you so, but you do not believe me. The works which I am doing on my Father's authority are my credentials,

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of them are you going to stone me?"

Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel which was around His waist.

Thus He came to Simon Peter. Peter said to Him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Peter said to Him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered, "Unless I do wash you, you can have no share with me."

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, do not stop with my feet, then, but wash my hands and face too!"

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you too ought to wash one another's feet.

The disciples kept looking at one another, but were at a loss to know which one He meant.

So Simon Peter nodded to him to ask Him which one it was that He meant.

Whoever does not really love me does not observe my teaching; and yet the teaching which you are listening to is not mine but comes from the Father who has sent me.

"I have told you these things, that the joy which I have had may remain in you and that your joy may be complete.

I have glorified you down here upon the earth by completing the work which you have given me to do.

And now I am no longer to be in the world, but they are to stay on in the world, while I am going to be with you. Holy Father, keep them by the power which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.

As long as I was with them, I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who is now doomed to be lost, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

And now I am going to be with you, and I am saying these things while still in the world, that the joy which I experience may be fully experienced in their own souls.

I have given them the glory which you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are,

Father, I want to have those whom you have given me right where I am, in order that they may see the glory which you have given me, because you loved me before the creation of the world.

and I made known to them your very self, and I will make you known still further, so that the love which you have shown to me may be felt in them, and I in union with them."

Then Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into the sheath. Must I not drink the cup which the Father has handed me?"

This made it possible for the word of Jesus to be fulfilled which He spoke to indicate what sort of death He was to die.

Now you have a custom to have me set one man free at your Passover time. So do you wish me to set the king of the Jews free?"

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, except the coat, which was without a seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom,

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.

There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

but the handkerchief which had been over His face was not lying with the bandages, but was folded up by itself in another place.

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

Jesus said to her, "Mary!" At once she turned and said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" which means Teacher.

Now there are many other wonder-works which Jesus performed in the disciples' presence which are not recorded in this book.

He said this to point out the sort of death by which Peter was to glorify God. So after He had said this, He said to Peter, "Keep on following me!"

Jesus answered him, "If I wish him to wait until I come, what is that to you? You must keep on following me."

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.
