The light is still shining in the darkness, for the darkness has never put it out.

The Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and are you going to raise it in three days?"

This man went to Jesus one night, and said to him, "Master, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can show the signs that you do, unless God is with him."

Yet no one has gone up into heaven except the Son of Man who came down from heaven.

No one who believes in him has to come up for judgment. Anyone who does not believe stands condemned already, for not believing in God's only Son.

And the basis of the judgment is this, that the light has come into the world, and yet, because their actions were wicked, men have loved the darkness more than the light.

It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend who stands outside and listens for his voice is very glad when he hears the bridegroom speak. So this happiness of mine is now complete.

It is to what he has seen and heard that he gives testimony, and yet no one accepts his testimony.

Whoever does accept it has thereby acknowledged that God is true.

For he whom God has sent speaks God's words, for God gives him his Spirit without measure.

The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands.

Jesus answered, "If you knew what God has to give, and who it is that said to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

"Come, here is a man who has told me everything I ever did! Do you suppose he is the Christ?"

So the disciples said to one another, "Do you suppose that someone has brought him something to eat?"

Jesus said to them, "My food is doing the will of him who has sent me, and finishing his work.

Many of the Samaritans in that town came to believe in him because of the testimony the woman gave when she said, "He has told me everything I ever did!"

Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheepgate a pool called in Hebrew Bethzatha, which has five colonnades.

For the Father passes judgment on no one, but he has committed the judgment entirely to the Son,

I tell you, whoever listens to my message and believes him who has sent me, possesses eternal life, and will not come to judgment, but has already passed out of death into life.

For just as the Father is self-existent, he has given self-existence to the Son,

and he has given him the authority to act as judge, because he is a son of man.

I cannot do anything of my own accord. I pass judgment just as I am told to do, and my judgment is just, for I am not seeking to do what I please, but what pleases him who has sent me.

But I have higher testimony than John's, for the things that my Father has intrusted to me to accomplish, the very things that I am doing, are proof that my Father has sent me,

and my Father who has sent me has thus borne witness to me. You have never heard his voice or seen his form,

and you do not keep his message in your hearts, for you do not believe the messenger whom he has sent.

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what is that among so many people?"

You must not work for the food that perishes, but for that which lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has authorized him to do so."

Jesus answered them, "The work God has for you is to believe in the messenger that he has sent to you."

for I have come down from heaven not to do what I please but what pleases him who has sent me.

And the purpose of him who has sent me is this, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should raise them to life on the Last Day.

The Jews complained of him for saying, "I am the bread that has come out of heaven,"

Not that anyone has ever seen the Father, except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.

I am this living bread that has come down out of heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the world's life is my own flesh!"

Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who lives on me will live because of me.

This is the bread that has come down out of heaven??ot like that which your forefathers ate and yet died. Whoever lives on this bread will live forever."

This astonished the Jews. "How is it that this man can read?" they said, "when he has never gone to school?"

So Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own; it comes from him who has sent me.

Whoever speaks simply for himself is looking for honor for himself, but whoever looks for honor for the person who has sent him shows his sincerity; there is no dishonesty about him.

So Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple, cried out, "You do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come of my own accord but someone who is very real, whom you do not know, has sent me.

I do know him, because I come from him, and he has sent me here."

But many of the people believed in him, and said, "Will the Christ show more signs when he comes than this man has shown?"

Jesus said, "I am to be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who has sent me.

"Does our Law condemn the accused without first hearing what he has to say, and finding out what he has done?"

Here I am testifying to myself, and the Father who has sent me testifies to me."

So Jesus said, "When you lift the Son of Man up in the air, then you will know that I am what I say, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but speak as the Father has instructed me.

And he who has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him."

But instead you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth he has heard from God. Abraham would not have done that.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he has sent me.

The devil is the father you are sprung from, and you want to carry out your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the first, and he has nothing to do with the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in his true character, for he is a liar and the father of them.

Your forefather Abraham exulted at the thought of seeing my coming. He has seen it, and it has made him glad."

We must carry on the work of him who has sent me while the daylight lasts. Night is coming, when no one can do any work.

and said to him, "Go and wash them in the Pool of Siloam"?? name which means One who has been sent. So he went and washed them, and went home able to see.

So they asked the blind man again, "What have you to say about him, because he has made you able to see?" He said, "He is a prophet!"

But we do not know how it is that he can see now, or who has made him able to see. You must ask him. He is grown up. Let him tell you about himself."

The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see!

No one has taken it from me, but I am giving it of my own accord. I have power to give it, and I have power to take it back again. These are the orders I have received from my Father."

What my Father has intrusted to me is of more importance than everything else, and no one can tear anything out of the Father's hands.

If those to whom God's message was addressed were called gods??nd the Scripture cannot be set aside??36 do you mean to say to me whom the Father has consecrated and made his messenger to the world, 'You are blasphemous,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

but if he travels at night he will stumble because he has no light."

He told them this, and then he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep he will recover."

Jesus said, "Move the stone away." The dead man's sister, Martha, said to him, "Master, by this time he is decaying, for he has been dead four days."

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see, you cannot do anything! The whole world has run after him!"

Jesus answered, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

in fulfilment of the saying of the prophet Isaiah, "Lord, who has believed our account? And to whom has the Lord's mighty arm been unveiled?"

"He has made their eyes blind and their minds dull, To keep them from seeing with their eyes, and understanding with their minds, And turning to me to be cured."

But Jesus cried loudly, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who has sent me;

and whoever sees me, sees him who has sent me.

for I have not spoken on my account, but the Father who has sent me has himself given me orders what to tell and what to say.

And I know his orders mean eternal life. So whatever I say, I say only as the Father has told me."

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed to be altogether clean. And you are already clean??hough not all of you."

I do not mean all of you; I know whom I have chosen; but let the Scripture be fulfilled: " 'He who is eating my bread Has raised his heel against me.'

I assure you, whoever welcomes any messenger of mine welcomes me and whoever welcomes me welcomes him who has sent me."

When he was gone, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been honored, and God has been honored through him,

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Let us see the Father'?

It is he who has my commands and observes them that really loves me, and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and show myself to him."

No one who does not love me will observe my teaching, and yet the teaching you are listening to is not mine but is that of him who has sent me.

I shall not talk much more with you, for the evil genius of the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me,

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. You must retain my love.

All that the Father has belongs to me. That is why I said that he will take what is mine and communicate it to you.

When a woman is in labor she is sorrowful, for her time has come; but when the child is born, she forgets her pain in her joy that a human being has been brought into the world.

Why, a time is coming??t has already come!??hen you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

When Jesus had said all this he raised his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Do honor to your son, that your son may do honor to you,

I have given them your message, and the world has come to hate them, for they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

Then Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has offered me?"

Jesus answered, "Did you think of that yourself, or has someone else said it to you about me?"

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not a kingdom of this world. If my kingdom were a kingdom of this world, my men would have fought to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom has no such origin."
