So the Word became flesh and blood and lived for a while among us, abounding in blessing and truth, and we saw the honor God had given him, such honor as an only son receives from his father.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life.

No one who believes in him has to come up for judgment. Anyone who does not believe stands condemned already, for not believing in God's only Son.

On account of this the Jews were all the more eager to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but actually called God his Father, thus putting himself on an equality with God.

Simon Peter said to him, "Master, wash not only my feet but my hands and my face too!"

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed to be altogether clean. And you are already clean??hough not all of you."

My children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but, as I said to the Jews, where I am going you cannot follow,

Yet it is only the truth when I tell you that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you, but if I go I will send him to you.

And eternal life means knowing you as the only true God, and knowing Jesus your messenger as Christ.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.
