John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

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.’

I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He *found Philip. And Jesus *said to him, “Follow Me.”

Nathanael *said to Him, “How 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, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.”

and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.”

His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”

But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’

There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a 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 I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.”

Jesus *said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

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

Jesus *said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”

The royal official *said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

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.”

But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

“If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.

There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

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

But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

Jesus answered 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 filled.

Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?”

So they said to Him, “What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?

Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

No one can 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 shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

He 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.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

So Jesus *said to them, “My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.

Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.”

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

“Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet 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 will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

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

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.

You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

What is this statement that He said, ‘You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about 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 or where I am going.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

So they were saying 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 He said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.”

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.

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

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

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”

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.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.

But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.

Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?

Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

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.”

Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

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.

He answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
