No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.

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

I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God."

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

Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!"

He continued, "I tell all of you the solemn truth -- you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

So then the Jewish leaders responded, "What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?"

I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.

No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven -- the Son of Man.

Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him.

Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalem at the feast (for they themselves had gone to the feast).

Now he came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. In Capernaum there was a certain royal official whose son was sick.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

Jesus told him, "Go home; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.

While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed along with his entire household.

Jesus did this as his second miraculous sign when he returned from Judea to Galilee.

After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well. Don't sin any more, lest anything worse happen to you."

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

Furthermore, the Father does not judge anyone, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

I tell you the solemn truth, a time is coming -- and is now here -- when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

and he has granted the Son authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,

Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, "This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life -- the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him."

So they said to him, "Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe.

For this is the will of my Father -- for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

and they said, "Isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God -- he has seen the Father.)

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?

(Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

She replied, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more."]]

Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will look for me but will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come."

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.

Jesus answered them, "I tell you the solemn truth, everyone who practices sin is a slave of sin.

The slave does not remain in the family forever, but the son remains forever.

So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.

I am telling you the things I have seen while with the Father; as for you, practice the things you have heard from the Father!"

Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?

Then the Judeans replied, "You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?"

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?"

Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?"

They asked the parents, "Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

So his parents replied, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Jesus told him, "You have seen him; he is the one speaking with you."

Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin, but now because you claim that you can see, your guilt remains."

do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Many came to him and began to say, "John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

She replied, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world."

Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.

"Do not be afraid, people of Zion; look, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt!"

Because they had heard that Jesus had performed this miraculous sign, the crowd went out to meet him.

Jesus replied, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Then the crowd responded, "We have heard from the law that the Christ will remain forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he should betray Jesus.

Jesus replied, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish." Then he dipped the piece of bread in the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him."

Jesus replied, "Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

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

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.

If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.

And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong concerning sin and righteousness and judgment --

concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you --

The Jewish leaders replied, "We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!"

Jesus replied, "You would have no authority over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of greater sin."

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, here is your son!"

Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them what Jesus had said to her.

The other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he replied, "Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!"

Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed."

But these are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."

Jesus said a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Shepherd my sheep."

Jesus said a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" and said, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus replied, "Feed my sheep.
