For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.

And John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him.

And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One of God.

This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is translated "Christ").

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found [the one] whom Moses wrote [about] in the law, and the prophets wrote [about]--Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!"

And [when the] wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine!"

And Jesus said to her, "What {does your concern have to do with me}, woman? My hour has not yet come."

and said to him, "{Everyone} serves the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!"

Truly, truly I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify [about] what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony!

so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, being a Jew, ask from me [water] to drink, [since I] am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

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

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

The woman answered and said to him, "I do not have a husband." Jesus said to her, "You have said rightly, 'I do not have a husband,'

for you have had five husbands, and [the one] whom you have now is not your husband; this you have said truthfully!"

"Come, see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Perhaps this one is the Christ?"

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have worked, and you have entered into their work."

Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I have done."

And they were saying to the woman, "No longer because of {what you said} do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!"

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

After these [things] Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you."

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

and they will come out--those who have done good [things] to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil [things] to a resurrection of judgment.

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

"But I have a testimony greater than John's, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them--the very works which I am doing--[these] testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.

You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.

And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!

But I said to you that you have seen me and do not believe.

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves!

The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

The crowd replied, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You have not also been deceived, [have you]?

{None} of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, [have they]?

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

So they were saying to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also."

So they began to say to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "{What} I have been saying to you [from] the beginning.

I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

They replied to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, 'You will become free'?"

I speak [the things] that I have seen with the Father; so also you do [the things] that you have heard from the Father."

You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

Jesus replied, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.

So the Jews said to him, "{You are} not yet fifty years [old], and have you seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you." [[

And Jesus said,]] "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!"

Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

The thief {comes only} so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have [it] abundantly.

And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock--one shepherd.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"

So Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world."

Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was [and] saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."

But some of them said, "Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do [something] so that this man also would not have died?"

For you have the poor with you always, but you do not always have me."

"Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? But for this [reason] I have come to this hour!

Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have both glorified [it], and I will glorify [it] again."

Then the crowd replied to him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains {forever}! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

So Jesus said to them, "Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light." Jesus said these [things], and [then] he went away [and] was hidden from them.

I have come [as] a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.

And if anyone hears my words and does not observe [them], I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me {has commanded me} what I should say and what I should speak.

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet {forever}!" Jesus replied to him, "Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me."

So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.

"I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, 'The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

"A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another--just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples--if you have love for one another."

Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because I am going away to prepare a place for you.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you know him and have seen him."

Jesus said to him, "Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

These [things] I have spoken to you [while] residing with you.

You have heard that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I [am].

And now I have told you before [it] happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

"Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

I have spoken these [things] to you in order that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made complete.
