John testified about him and cried out, saying, "This one was [he about] whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'"

And he confessed--and he did not deny, and confessed--"I am not the Christ!"

And they asked him, "Then who [are] you? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"

He said, "I [am] 'the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," ' just as Isaiah the prophet said."

John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water. In your midst stands [one] whom you do not know--

the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy {to untie} the strap of his sandal!"

This one is [the one] about whom I said, 'After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, '[The one] upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him--this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

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!"

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, "Look! {A true Israelite} in whom is no deceit!"

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified--look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!"

You yourselves testify about me that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.'

For [the one] whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

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.)

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

Jesus said to her, "I, the one speaking to you, am [he].

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."

But he answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I am working."

I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my [own] will, but the will of the one who sent me.

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

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!

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God: that you believe in [the one] whom that one sent."

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty again.

Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,

Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose [any] of them, but raise them up on the last day.

Now the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

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

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.

You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time is not yet completed.

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.

Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say, "Is this not [the one] whom they are seeking to kill?

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.

I know him, because I am from him and he sent me."

Then Jesus said, "Yet a little time I am with you, and I am going to the one who sent me.

You will seek me and will not find [me], and where I am, you cannot come."

What is this saying that he said, 'You will seek me and will not find [me], and where I am, you cannot come'?"

Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

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.

But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me."

So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

Then the Jews began to say, "Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

And he said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am [he], you will die in your sins."

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me.

Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, {why} do you not believe me?

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, [about] whom you say, 'He is our God.'

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!"

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Others were saying, "It is this man"; others were saying, "No, but he is like him." That one was saying, "I am [he]!"

And they asked them, saying, "Is this man your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

"I am the good shepherd, and I know my [own], and my [own] know me,

If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and the scripture cannot be broken--

do you say about [he] whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

But if I am doing [them], even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father [is] in me and I [am] in the Father."

So the sisters sent [word] to him, saying, "Lord, behold, [the one] whom you love is sick."

He said these [things], and after this he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him."

and I am glad {for your sake} that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live,

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

Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all [people] to myself."

in order that the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, "Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand after these [things]."

You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and you speak correctly, for I am.

"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.'

From now [on] I am telling you before [it] happens, in order that when [it] happens you may believe that I am [he].

The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.

One of his disciples--the one whom Jesus loved--was reclining {close beside} Jesus.

So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking.

Jesus replied, "It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give [it] to him." Then [after] dipping the piece of bread, he gave [it] to Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot.

Children, yet a little [time] I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going you cannot come," now I say also to you.

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."

Peter said to him, "Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

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.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.

And you know the way where I am going."

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

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?'

Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works.

Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is] in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater [works] than these because I am going to the Father.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know [him]. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

"I will not leave you [as] orphans; I am coming to you.

On that day you will know that I [am] in my Father, and you [are] in me, and I [am] in you.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name--that one will teach you all [things], and will remind you of everything that I said to 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].

But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

"I am the vine; you [are] the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him--this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything.

"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father--that one will testify about me.
