All [things] came into being through him, and apart from him not one [thing] came into being that has come into being.

A man came, sent from God, {whose name was} John.

And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.

For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, "Who are you?"

(And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)

And John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him.

(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found [the one] whom Moses wrote [about] in the law, and the prophets wrote [about]--Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!"

Nathanael said to him, "From where do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, [when you] were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from--but the servants who had drawn the water knew--the head steward summoned the bridegroom

And to the ones selling the doves he said, "Take these [things] away from here! Do not make my Father's house {a marketplace}!"

So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.

This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that [you are] a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him."

Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God."

Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'It is necessary for you to be born from above.'

The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

And no one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven--the Son of Man.

John answered and said, "A man can receive not one [thing] unless it is granted to him from heaven!

The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, being a Jew, ask from me [water] to drink, [since I] am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

You are not greater than our father Jacob, [are you], who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?"

You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

They went out from the town and were coming to him.

Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I have done."

And after the two days he departed from there into Galilee.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

Now this [is] again a second sign Jesus performed [when he] came from Judea into Galilee.

So Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these [things] also the Son does likewise.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my [own] will, but the will of the one who sent me.

(And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these [things] in order that you may be saved.)

"I do not accept glory from people,

How are you able to believe, [if you] accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory [which is] from the only God?

So they gathered [them], and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread [after] the Lord had given thanks.

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

Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!

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

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

Now the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

and they were saying, "Is this one not 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 will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God--this one has seen the Father.)

This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

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 it was who would betray him.)

So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.

So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but [is] from the one who sent me.

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.

The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him--this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes--no one knows where he is from!"

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

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

But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, [will he]?"

Then, [when they] heard these words, [some] from the crowd began to say, "This man is truly the Prophet!"

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

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

"Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, [does it]?"

They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, [are you]? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!" [[

Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

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

So they began to say to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "{What} I have been saying to you [from] the beginning.

I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

I speak [the things] that I have seen with the Father; so also you do [the things] that you have heard from the Father."

But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.

You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own [nature], because he is a liar and the father {of lies}.

The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen--because you are not of God."

And [as he] went away, he saw a man blind from birth.

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man [who is] a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

(His parents said these [things] because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him [to be] Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from."

The man answered and said to them, "For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes!

From {time immemorial} it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind.

If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!"

And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock--one shepherd.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

My Father, who has given [them] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize [them] from the Father's hand.

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

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

(Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.

So Jesus was no longer walking openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the [surrounding] country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves.

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

Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.

So the crowd who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify.

So these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and began asking him saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

"Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? But for this [reason] I have come to this hour!

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

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