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.'"

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.'

On the next day he wanted to depart for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me!"

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

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

And to the ones selling the doves he said, "Take these [things] away from here! Do not make my Father's house {a marketplace}!"

His disciples remembered that it is written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.

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

It is necessary for that one to increase, but [for] me to decrease."

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me [water] to drink."

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, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw [water]!"

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

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

Jesus said to them, "My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his 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."

The royal official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies!"

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, "The one who made me well--that one said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk!'"

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

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

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.

"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

(And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these [things] in order that you may be saved.)

"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.

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.

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!

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

But if you do not believe that one's writings, how will you believe my words?"

Jesus replied to them and said, "Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied!

Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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."

No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

It is written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.

This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die.

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."

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, [so] also the one who eats me--that one will live because of me.

And he said, "Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father."

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

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.

So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but [is] from the one who sent me.

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

Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?

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 on the last day of the feast--the great [day]--Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink,

the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, 'Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.'"

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 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 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!"

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."

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].

And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples,

I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.

But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.

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.

{Why} do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.

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

But I do not seek my [own] glory. There is one who seeks and judges!

Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death {forever}."

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}.'

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.'

Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw [it] and was glad."

It is necessary [for] us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!

He replied, "The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared [it] on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash!' So I went, and I washed, [and] I received sight."

So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

The man answered and said to them, "For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes!

He answered and said, "And who is [he], sir, that I may believe in him?"

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!"

All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them.

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.

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.

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

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
