In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’

And He *said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”

And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.

And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”

So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and *said to the men,

“Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?”

Jesus *said to him, “Go; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off.

A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.”

They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

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

and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

I do not receive glory from men;

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

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 yourselves.

What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”

The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?”

So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from.”

So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?”

The Jews then said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?

The officers answered, “Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks.”

“Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”

Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

They *brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.

Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

So they *said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”

The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

Many came to Him and were saying, “While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true.”

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?”

The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus *said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

And Jesus *answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”

The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor.

Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus *said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

Then the slave-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.”

Therefore Pilate went out to them and *said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.”

So they cried out again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.

Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!”

As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar.”

There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;

So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”
