All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’

And Jesus *said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.”

No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.

He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full.

What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.

The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

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

But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.

“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.”

The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?”

For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?”

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

The officers answered, “Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks.”

No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?

they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.

Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”

Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

This He said, and after that He *said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”

The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

Jesus *said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, *said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.”

And Jesus *answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

“Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

“He has blinded their eyes and He hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.”

He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”

I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?”

I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

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

All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

“O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”

Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
