John testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to 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 Isaiah the prophet said."

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, 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 ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."

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

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

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

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

On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

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

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there 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."

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."

When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

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

His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."

Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." They filled them up to the brim.

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

and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now."

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."

The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"

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

The same came to him 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 answered and said to him, "How can these things be?"

They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming to him."

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

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

The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for 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. From where then have you that living water?

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

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

The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'

for you have had five husbands; and he 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 comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

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

Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."

At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"

So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

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

The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

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

They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."

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

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.

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him."

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.

Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."

So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"

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

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

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

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, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."

When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who comes into the world."

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

They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"

They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

The Jewish people therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

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

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.

He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?"

But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by the Father."

Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You do not also want to go away, do you?"

His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

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

Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

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."

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

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?"

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

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?

What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."

Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some said, "What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee?

Hasn't the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
