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

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 of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting.

And he made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables.

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 Jewish people.

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of 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 works were evil.

John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given to 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 is now complete.

"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?"

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me."

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"

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

He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things 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 that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

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.

The Jews therefore argued with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."

The Jewish leaders therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

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

If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"

The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."

"Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.

But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'

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

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

His parents said these things because they feared the Jewish leaders; for the Jewish leaders had already agreed that if any man would confess him as the Messiah, he would be put out of the synagogue.

So they called the man who was blind a second time, 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 comes from."

The man answered them, "How amazing. You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

The Jewish leaders answered him, "We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."

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

Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight ? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

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

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

for they loved men's praise more than God's praise.

Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.

For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

If a man does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.

All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."

Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Look, here is the man."

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, saying, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been placed.

Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
