Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.

And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.

No one has ever seen God. The unique God, who is close to the Father's side, has revealed him.

"How does that concern us, dear lady?" Jesus asked her. "My time hasn't come yet."

The Jewish leaders said, "This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"

"No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son.

And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.

John replied, "No one can receive anything unless it has been given to them from heaven.

He testifies about what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony.

The person who has accepted his testimony has acknowledged that God is truthful.

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

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

So the disciples began to say to one another, "No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?"

since Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethesda in Hebrew. It has five colonnades,

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

The Father judges no one, but has given all authority to judge to the Son,

"Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whoever hears what I say and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged, but has passed from death to life.

Just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

and he has given him authority to judge, because he is the Son of Man.

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

"But I have a greater testimony than John's, because the actions that the Father has given me to complete the very actions that I am doing testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.

Moreover, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen what he looks like,

"There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But what are these among so many people?"

Do not work for food that perishes but for food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on him."

Jesus answered them, "This is God's work: to believe in the one whom he has sent."

And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything that he has given me, but should raise it to life on the last day.

It is written in the Prophets, "And all of them will be taught by God.' Everyone who has listened to the Father and has learned anything comes to me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who comes from God. This one has seen the Father.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me has eternal life.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I'll raise him to life on the last day,

Jesus told them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.

Go up to the festival yourselves. I am not going to this festival yet, because my time hasn't fully come yet."

The Jewish leaders were astonished and remarked, "How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?"

However, many in the crowd believed in him. They kept saying, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than this man has done, will he?"

The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."

None of the authorities or Pharisees has believed in him, have they?

they told him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery.

Then Jesus stood up and asked her, "Dear lady, where are your accusers? Hasn't anyone condemned you?"

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone, because I always do what pleases him."

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

You belong to your father the Devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood for truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

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

Ever since creation it has never been heard that anyone healed the eyes of a man who was born blind.

When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why bother listening to him?"

What my Father has given me is more important than anything, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand.

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

These were the things he said. Then after this, he told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm leaving to wake him up."

So the disciples told him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."

Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus has died.

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

Jesus told them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

so that what the prophet Isaiah spoke might be fulfilled when he said: "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the Lord's power been revealed?"

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."

The one who rejects me and doesn't receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I've spoken will judge him on the last day,

because I haven't spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself commanded me what to say and how to speak.

And I know that what he commands brings eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."

Jesus told him, "Whoever has bathed is entirely clean. He doesn't need to wash himself further, except for his feet. And you men are clean, though not all of you."

I'm not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: "The one who ate bread with me has turned against me.'

After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

If God has been glorified by him, God himself also will glorify the Son of Man, and he will do so quickly.

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him."

I won't talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

But I'm doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place."

Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.

But this happened so that what has been written in their Law might be fulfilled: "They hated me for no reason.'

But because I have told you this, sorrow has filled your hearts.

and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, "He will take what is mine and declare it to you.'

When a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

Listen, the time is coming, indeed it has already come, when you will be scattered, each of you to his own home, and you will leave me all by myself. Yet I'm not alone, because the Father is with me.

After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

"Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.

Jesus told Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shouldn't I drink the cup that the Father has given me?"

The one who saw this has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows he is telling the truth so that you, too, may believe,

Jesus told them again, "Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them down. We know that his testimony is true.
