We have all received one gracious gift after another from his abundance,

I have seen this and have testified that this is the Son of God."

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, "We have found the Anointed One!" (which is translated "Messiah").

Philip found Nathaniel and told him, "We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother told him, "They don't have any more wine."

and told him, "Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!"

He came to Jesus at night and told him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

If I have told you people about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

so that everyone who believes in him would have eternal life.

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may become evident that his actions have God's approval."

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, "I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.'

The Samaritan woman asked him, "How can you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" Because Jews do not have anything to do with Samaritans.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, "Please give me a drink,' you would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water."

The woman told him, "Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this living water?

The woman told him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I won't get thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."

The woman answered him, "I don't have a husband."

Jesus told her, "You are quite right in saying, "I don't have a husband,' because you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."

Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, have something to eat."

But he told them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

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

I have sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have adopted their work as your own."

They kept telling the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps down ahead of me."

Later on, Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Look! You have become well. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

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

and will come out those who have done what is good to the resurrection that leads to life, and those who have practiced what is evil to the resurrection that ends in condemnation.

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,

nor do you have his word at work in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he sent.

You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me.

But you are not willing to come to me to have life.

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

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. Yet if another man comes in his own name, you will accept him.

Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope,

Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread isn't enough for each of them to have a little."

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass in that area, so they sat down, numbering about 5,000 men.

I told you that you have seen me, yet you don't believe.

I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.

This is my Father's will: That everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

They kept saying, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, "I have come down from heaven'?"

So Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

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

Besides, we have believed and remain convinced that you are the Holy One of God."

The crowd answered, "You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"

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

Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You haven't been deceived, too, have you?

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

They said this to test him, so that they might have a charge against him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.

Later on, 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 told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

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.

They replied to him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves to anybody. So how can you say, "You will be set free'?"

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 are doing your father's actions." They told him, "We're not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God himself."

The Jewish leaders replied to him, "Surely we're right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon, aren't we?"

Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon. On the contrary, I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

Then the Jewish leaders told him, "Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, "If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "You are not even 50 years old, yet you have seen Abraham?"

Jesus told him, "You have seen him. He is the person who is talking with you."

Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge it, so that those who are blind may see and so that those who see may become blind."

Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, "We see,' your sin still exists."

The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I've come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

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."

Jesus answered them, "I have told you, but you don't believe it. The actions that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf,

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

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and told him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

He asked, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."

But some of them said, "Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?"

Then Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."

You don't realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed."

because you will always have the destitute with you, but you won't always have me."

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."

Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you must also wash one another's feet.

I've set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to 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.'

Jesus answered, "He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish."

I'm giving you a new commandment"to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Jesus answered him, "Would you lay down your life for me? I tell you emphatically, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times."

There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there weren't, I wouldn't have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you, would I?

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

"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'?

"I have told you this while I am still with you.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you.

You have heard me tell you, "I'm going away, but I'm coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I'm going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

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

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

"This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.

"You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have any sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I hadn't done among them the actions that no one else did, they wouldn't have any sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

You will testify also, because you have been with me from the beginning.

"I have told you this to keep you from falling away.
