This one came as a witness, to bear witness concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him.

But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name,

And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.

No one has seen God at any time; the Only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?

Then they said to him, Who are you so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say of yourself?

He said, I am "the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord," as the prophet Isaiah said.

He it is who, coming after me, who has been before me; of whom I am not worthy to loosen the thong of His sandal.

This is He of whom I said, After me comes a Man who has been before me, for He preceded me.

And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, that One said to me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon Him, He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

And I saw and bore record that this is the Son of God.

And looking upon Jesus as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!

Then Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, What do you seek? They said to Him, Rabbi (which is called, being translated, Teacher), where do you live?

He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ).

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus saw him, He said, You are Simon the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which translated is, A stone).

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile!

And he said to him, Every man at the beginning sets forth good wine, and when men have drunk well, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now.

Then the Jews answered and said to Him, What sign do you show us, since you do these things?

And as He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, at the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the miracles which He did.

He came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles which you do unless God is with him.

Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?

Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.

But even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.

And John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from Heaven.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom who stands and hears him rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Then my joy is fulfilled.

He who comes from above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly and speaks from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all,

He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water.

The woman said to Him, Sir, you have no vessel, and the well is deep. From where then do you have that living water?

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children and his cattle?

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In that you spoke truly.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither worship the Father in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem.

You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him.

God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things.

Come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Is this One not the Christ?

Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

Do you not say, It is yet four months, and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white to harvest already.

And in this is the saying true, One sows and another reaps.

Then as the Samaritans had come to Him, they begged Him that He would stay with them. And He stayed there two days.

And they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying, for we have heard Him ourselves and know that this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.

Then Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Your son lives.

This is the second miracle Jesus did, when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.

Now there is a pool at the Sheep Gate at Jerusalem, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.

The infirm man answered Him, Sir, when the water is troubled, I have no one to put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another steps down before me.

Therefore the Jews said to him who had been healed, It is the sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up the bed.

Then they asked him, Who is the man who said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

For as the Father raises the dead and makes alive, even so the Son of Man makes alive whomever He wills.

so that all should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they who hear shall live.

For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life within Himself,

and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves shall hear His voice,

I can do nothing of My own self. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who has sent Me.

If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.

There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.

There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are these among so many?

And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who had reclined; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

And when they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing is lost.

Then seeing the miracle that Jesus did, those men said, This is truly the Prophet, the One coming into the world.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He has sent.

Our fathers ate the manna in the desert, as it is written, "He gave them bread from Heaven to eat."

For the bread of God is He who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world.

Then they said to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes on Him should have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said, Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How now does this One say, I have come down from Heaven?

It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all be taught of God." Therefore everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to Me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God, He has seen the Father.

This is the Bread which comes down from Heaven, so that a man may eat of it and not die.

I am the Living Bread which came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he shall live forever. And truly the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Then the Jews argued with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

As the living Father has sent Me, and I live through the Father, so he who partakes of Me, even he shall live by Me.

This is the Bread which came down from Heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he who partakes of this Bread shall live forever.

He said these things in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

Then when they had heard, many of His disciples said, This is a hard saying, who can hear it?

It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.

But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who is the one betraying Him.

Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And one of you is a devil?

Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

You go up to this feast; I am not yet going up to this feast; for My time is not yet fulfilled.

But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.

Then the Jews sought Him at the feast and said, Where is He?

And there was much murmuring among the crowd concerning Him, for some said, He is a good man; others said, No, but he deceives the crowd.

Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

If anyone desires to do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God, or I speak from Myself.

He who speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

Because of this Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you circumcise a man on the sabbath day.

Then some of those from Jerusalem said, Is this not the one they seek to kill?
