In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was face to face with God, and the Word was God.

He was face to face with God in the Beginning.

A man came into being, sent from God, whose name was John.

But to all who receive him, to them he has given the right to become children of God, even to those who trust in his name;

who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

No man has ever seen God; God, only begotten, who is in the bosom of the Father??e has interpreted him.

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said: "Behold, that is God's Lamb, who takes and bears away the sin of the world.

This I have seen, and I am become a witness to the fact that he is the Son of God."

After gazing intently on Jesus as he walked about, he said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"

And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

"Rabbi," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel."

You shall see greater things than that! Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

"Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

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

"In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

"I tell you solemnly," Jesus answered, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

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

He who trusts in him is not condemned, but he who does not trust has already been condemned, because he has not put his trust in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

but he who does what is true, comes to the light, in order that his actions may be shown to have been wrought in God."

Then some of John's disciples got into a controversy with a Jew in regard to purification; so they came to John and said to him.

Whoever does receive it has set his seal that God is true.

For he whom God sent utters the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit sparingly.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him."

"If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water."

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep-gate, called in the Hebrew, Bethesda.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to get well?"

For this reason the Jews continued to seek the more eagerly to put him to death, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was actually speaking of God as his own Father, thus making himself of God's equal.

"Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.

"those who have done good into a resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil to a resurrection of condemnation.

"that you have not the love of God in yourselves.

"How can you believe when you receive glory from, one another, and have no desire for the glory which comes from the only God?

There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,

So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,

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

"What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"

"This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."

"for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."

"It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me.

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

"and we have learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."

and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

"If any one wills to do God's will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth."

"But now you are seeking to kill me?? man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.

"You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."

Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

"He who is from God listens to God's words. For this reason you do not listen, because you are not from God."

"If I glorify myself." said Jesus, "my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, and you say, 'He is our God.'

"Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

"Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."

"We know that God spoke to Moses. But this fellow! We do not know where he comes from."

"We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, to such he listens.

"If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.

"I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me;

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

"We are not going to stone you for a good deed," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God."

"If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),

do you mean to tell me, whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."

"Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.

but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."

"Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"

and not in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.

For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he was come from God,

and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself.

So when he was gone, Jesus said: "Now has the Son of man been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and straightway will he glorify him.

"Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.

"They will excommunicate you from their synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will suppose that he is doing God's service.

"Yet?? am telling you the truth??y going is for your good. For unless I go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart I will send him unto you.

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

Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for any one to question you; by this we believe that you came forth from God."

And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and striking at the high priest's slave, cut off his right ear.

One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did not I myself see you with him in the garden."

The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be God's Son,"

"Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I am not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, "'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They answered him, "And we are going with you." So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout the night they caught nothing.

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter girt his fisher's coat about him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the water.

When they got to the shore they beheld a charcoal fire ready laid, with fish on it, and some bread.

This he said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God. After speaking thus, he said to him, "Follow me."
