So the Word became human and lived a little while among us, and we actually saw His glory, the glory of One who is an only Son from His Father, and He was full of spiritual blessing and truth.

No one has ever seen God; the only son, Deity Himself, who lies upon His Father's breast, has made him known.

John answered them, "I am baptizing only in water. There is standing among you One with whom you are not acquainted.

"For God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son, so that anyone who trusts in Him may never perish but have eternal life.

Whoever trusts in Him is never to come up for judgment, but whoever does not trust in Him has already received his sentence, because he has not trusted in the name of God's only Son.

It was on account of this that the Jews tried all the harder to put Him to death, because He not only persisted in breaking the Sabbath, but also kept on saying that God was His Father, and so was making Himself equal to God.

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there was only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away by themselves.

Having heard, they began to leave one by one, starting with the eldest, until only Jesus was left with the woman.

I have much to say about you and much to condemn in you, but He who sent me is truthful, and I am telling the world only what I have learned from Him."

Now Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem,

and not only for the nation, but also to unite the scattered children of God.

A goodly number of the Jews learned that He was at Bethany, and so they came there, not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

Jesus said to them, "Only a little while longer you will have the light. Keep on living by it while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for whoever walks about in the dark does not know where he is going.

Dear children, I am to be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but, as I told the Jews, so I now tell you, you cannot just now go where I am going.

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

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world now, but only for those whom you have given me, because they are yours --

"I make this petition, not for them only, but for all who ever come to believe in me through their message,

The rest of the disciples followed in the little boat, for they were not far from shore -- only about a hundred yards -- dragging in the net full of fish.

So the report got out among the brothers that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not tell him that he was not going to die; He said only, "If I wish him to wait until I come, what is that to you?"
