For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

And he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

And Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

When the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."

Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and there he remained with them and baptized.

Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),

Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband';

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

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

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe."

Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way.

So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his household.

This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk."

Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you."

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working."

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does.

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples.

Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?"

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

Jesus answered 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 was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.

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

Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

So 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 have no life in you.

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples complained about this, he said to them, "Does this offend you?

But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray him.

Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"

Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel.

Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

They said this to test him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more."

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Jesus answered, "Even if I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak just what the Father taught me.

Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the things Abraham did,

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
