And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.

No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.

The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!

John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.

"This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock')

Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."

"Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"

"I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."

There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.

And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages.

For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.

What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.

The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands.

He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--

and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.

Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;

and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.

Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, or a worse thing may befall you."

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.

For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.

For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,

that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.

"In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.

And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, because He is the Son of Man.

And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world."

Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.

Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"

No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.

"Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?

He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.

"No one, Sir," she replied. "And *I* do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."

So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin.

Now a slave does not remain permanently in his master's house, but a son does.

If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed.

Which of *you* convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

"You are not yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have you seen Abraham?"

"Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?"

"We know," replied the parents, "that this is our son and that he was born blind;

"You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue.

Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

"You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: He is now speaking to you."

"If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. So your sin remains!"

how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."

Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.

"Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

"Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."

His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?"

While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,

Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us to whom he is referring."

"It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.

So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."

"Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, 'Cause us to see the Father'?

And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.

And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --

of sin, because they do not believe in me;

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.

As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."

"We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God."

So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts--one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!"

As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her.

So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."

"Because you have seen me," replied Jesus, "you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, you may have Life through His name.

As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus.

Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.

A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus.
