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

So the light continues to shine in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it.

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;

John testified to Him and cried out, for this was the one who said, "The One who is coming after me has been put before me, because He existed before me."

No one has ever seen God; the only son, Deity Himself, who lies upon His Father's breast, has made him known.

He is to become my successor, because He has been put before me, and I am not fit to untie His shoestrings."

This is the One about whom I said, 'After me there is coming a man who has already been put before me, because He existed before me.'

Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have you to do with me? My time to act has not yet come."

and saith to him, Every man at first produces the good wine; and after men have drunk plentifully, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept back the good wine until now.

And his disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house has eaten me up.

Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days?

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, I tell you most truly, unless one has been born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.

That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.

The Spirit breathes where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you know not whence it comes, nor whither it goes; so is every one that has been born of the Spirit.

And yet no one has gone up into heaven except the Son of Man who came down out of heaven.

So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life.

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

Whoever trusts in Him is never to come up for judgment, but whoever does not trust in Him has already received his sentence, because he has not trusted in the name of God's only Son.

And the ground for the sentence is this, that the light has come into the world, and yet, because their actions were evil, men have loved darkness more than the light.

And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

In reply John said: "A man cannot obtain anything unless it has been granted to him from heaven.

It is the bridegroom who has the bride, but the bridegroom's friend, who stands outside and listens to him, is very happy to hear the bridegroom's voice. So this happiness of mine is running over.

He has to become greater while I become less.

He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks as of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,

He continues to bear testimony to what He has actually seen and heard, and yet no one accepts His testimony.

Whoever does accept His testimony has certified with a seal that God is true.

For He whom God has sent continues to speak the words of God, for God continues to give Him the Spirit without measure.

The Father loves His Son and has put everything in His hands.

He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God continues on him.

Jesus answered her, "If you just knew what God has to give and who it is that said to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have been the one to ask Him, and He would have given you living water."

The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:

for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in this thou hast spoken true.

But the time is coming, it has come already, when the real worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and in reality; for these are the worshippers that the Father wants.

"I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

"Come, see a man who has told me everything I ever did. He is not the Christ, is He?"

So the disciples began to say to one another, "Nobody has brought Him anything to eat, has he?"

Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

Many of the Samaritans in that town believed in Him because of the woman's testimony, when she said, "He has told me everything I ever did."

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what thou hast spoken; for we ourselves have heard Him, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.

he having heard that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee, came away to Him, and continued to ask Him that He may come down and heal his son; for He was about to die.

"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;

Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.

Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-market there is a public bath which in Hebrew is named Beth-zatha. It has five doorways.

It has five colonnades. In these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people??lind, lame, paralyzed.

Jesus seeing him lying down, and knowing that he already has much time, says to him; Do you wish to be whole?

The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him - See! thou hast become, well: - No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.

But he answered them, "My Father has continued working until now, and I am working too."

For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

For the Father judges no man, but has given all judgment to the Son,

that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

I tell you most truly, he that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

For as the Father has life in himself, so has he also given to the Son to have life in himself;

and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he is the Son of man.

I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.

But I have greater testimony than John's; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father has sent me;

and the Father who sent me, he has testified of me. You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form;

and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

for had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: since he has spoke of me in his writings.

but if you don't believe what he has writ, how should you believe what I say?

There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for so many?

and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father sealed.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God; to believe on him whom he has sent.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it has been written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.'"

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

And this is the will of him that sent me; that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should raise it up at the last day.

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

"Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son," they asked, "whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?"

No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

It is written in the prophets, And all shall be taught of God. Every one who has heard and learned of the Father comes to me.

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

I tell you most truly, He that believes has eternal life.

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

And on that account he said, I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been given him by my Father.

Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and know that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

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

Do you go up to the feast; I go not up to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

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.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but that of him that has sent me.
