John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.

The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent.

Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father: the one who says things against you is Moses, on whom you put your hopes.

Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.

You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.

What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself--with me is the Father who sent me.

Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.

But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.

So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.

Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.

Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.

A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.

I have said all this to you while I am still with you.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.

Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.
