There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace.

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

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who came from heaven the Son of Man.

John answered, "A man can receive only what is given to him from heaven.

"He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all.

Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his cattle?"

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

Many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

"I do not receive glory from men.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

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

Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

The Jews then began to murmur about him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

Not that any one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

This is the bread which comes down from heaven, 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 will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."

This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever."

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 would betray him.

From this time many of his disciples went back and no longer walked with him.

If anyone is willing to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own authority.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."

Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

But I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me."

Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come from Galilee?

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?"

They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee."

Jesus answered, "Even if I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your Father."

but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we do not know where he comes from."

The man answered, "Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from my Father."

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped from their hands.

But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"

So from that day on they plotted to put him to death.

Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he stayed with his disciples.

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

Now a great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.

Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

"Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I came to this hour.

Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."

The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

rose from supper, laid aside his garments, took a towel and girded himself.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on you know him and have seen him."

But I do as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

"But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me.

And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God."

Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

For I have given them the words which you have given me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.

I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.

So Judas, having received a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingship is not from here."

and he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Anyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."
