John bore witness of him and cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'"

And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'

I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

And he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means the Christ).

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

When the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it.

And he said to him, "Every man sets out the good wine first; and when the guests have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

And he said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of merchandise!"

Then the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show to us, since you do this?"

The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; 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? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

Nicodemus said to him, "How can this be?"

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified behold, he is baptizing, and all are going to him."

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but I have been sent before him.

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

Then the woman of Samaria said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband';

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he will tell us all things."

Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."

Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

Then the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?"

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man is indeed the Savior of the world."

Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe."

The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way.

So he inquired of them the hour when his son got better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his household.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk."

So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Take up your bed, and walk.'"

They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk'?"

Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you."

Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does.

Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?"

But this he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"

So they said to him, "What sign will you perform then, that we may see it and believe you? What work will you do?

Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

Then they said to him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.

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

The Jews then began to murmur about him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

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 you.

This he said in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum.

Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples complained about this, he said to them, "Does this offend you?

And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father."

Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"

So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Having said this, he remained in Galilee.

And there was much complaining among the people about him. Some said, "He is a good man"; others said, "No, on the contrary, he deceives the people."

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?

And many of the people believed in him, and they said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.

The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

What does he mean when he said, 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

When they heard these words, some of the people said, "Surely this is the prophet."

Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come from Galilee?
