So the Logos became flesh and tarried among us; we have seen his glory ??glory such as an only son enjoys from his father ??seen it to be full of grace and reality.

Nobody has ever seen God, but God has been unfolded by the divine One, the only Son, who lies upon the Father's breast.

Next day he observed Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, there is the lamb of God, who is to remove the sin of the world!

Now I did see it, and I testify that he is the Son of God."

He took him to Jesus; Jesus gazed at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John? Your name is to be Cephas" (meaning 'Peter' or 'rock').

he met Nathanael and told him, "We have found him whom Moses wrote about in the Law, and also the prophets ??it is Jesus, the son of Joseph, who comes from Nazaret."

"Rabbi," said Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel!"

Jesus answered, "You believe because I told you I had seen you under that fig tree? You shall see more than that."

He said to him, "Truly, truly I tell you all, you shall see heaven open wide and God's angels ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

Then the Jews accosted him with the words, "What sign of authority have you to show us, for acting in this way?"

Truly, truly I tell you, we are speaking of what we do understand, we testify to what we have actually seen ??and yet you refuse our testimony.

And yet the Son of man, descended from heaven, is the only one who has ever ascended into heaven.

Indeed the Son of man must be lifted on high, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,

For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing.

God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

He who believes in him is not sentenced; he who will not believe is sentenced already, for having refused to believe in the name of the only Son of God.

He] is testifying to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony.

the Father loves the Son and has given him control over everything.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life ??God's anger broods over him."

and in so doing he arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar; it lay near the territory which Jacob had given to his son Joseph,

on reaching Galilee, he was welcomed by the Galileans, who had seen all he did at the festival in Jerusalem ??for they too had gone to the festival.

Once more he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a royal official, whose son was lying ill at Capernaum;

when he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judaea, he went to him and begged him to come down and cure his son, who was at the point of death.

Jesus told him, "Go yourself, your son is alive." The man believed what Jesus told him, and started on his journey.

Then the father realized that it had left him at the very time when Jesus had said to him, "Your son is alive"; and he became a believer with all his household.

This was the second Sign which Jesus performed again after leaving Judaea for Galilee.

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

The Father loves the Son and shows him all that he is doing himself. He will show him still greater deeds than these, to make you wonder;

for as the Father raises the dead and makes them live, so the Son makes anyone live whom he chooses.

Indeed the Father passes judgment on no one; he has committed the judgment which determines life or death entirely to the Son,

that all men may honour the Son as they honour the Father. (He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.)

Truly, truly I tell you, the time is coming, it has come already, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen will live;

for as the Father has life in himself, so too he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

and also granted him authority to act as judge, since he is Son of man.

The Father who sent me has also borne testimony to me himself; but his voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,

followed by a large crowd on account of the Signs which they had seen him perform on sick folk.

Now when the people saw the Sign he had performed, they said, "This really is the Prophet who is to come into the world!"

Work for no perishing food, but for that lasting food which means eternal life; the Son of man will give you that, for the Father, God, has certified him."

"Well then," they said, "what is the Sign you perform, that we may see it and believe you? What work have you to show?

But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe.

It is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should possess eternal life, and that I should raise him up on the last day."

They said, "Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he claim now, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

Not that anyone has seen the Father ??he only, who is from God, he has seen the Father.

So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you.

Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he formerly existed?

(He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him ??and he was one of the twelve.)

She said, "No one, sir." Jesus said, "Neither do I; be off, and never sin again."]

Then he said to them again, "I go away, and you will search for me, but you will die in your sin; where I go, you cannot come."

so Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, you will know then who I am, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but speak as the Father has taught me.

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave.

Now the slave does not remain in the household for all time; the son of the house does.

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

I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you act as you have learned from your father."

Which of you can convict me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

Then said the Jews to him, "You are not fifty years old, and Abraham has seen you?"

and his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, for whose sin ??for his own or for his parents' ??was he born blind?"

Jesus replied, "Neither for his own sin nor for his parents' ??it was to let the work of God be illustrated in him.

and asked them, "Is this your son, the son you declare was born blind? How is it that he can see now?"

His parents answered, "This is our son, and he was born blind; we know that.

Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and on meeting him he said, "You believe in the Son of man?"

"You have seen him," Jesus said, "he is talking to you."

Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty; but, as it is, you claim to have sight ??and so your sin remains."

If the Law said they were gods, to whom the word of God came ??and scripture cannot be broken ??36 do you mean to tell me, whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

and many came to him, saying, "John did not perform any Sign, but all he ever said about this man was true."

When Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness is not to end in death; the end of it is the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby."

"Yes, Lord," she said, "I do believe you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world" ??28 and with these words she went off to call her sister Mary, telling her secretly, "The Teacher is here, and he is calling for you."

Fear not, daughter of Sion; here is your king coming, seated on an ass's colt.

and that was why the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had performed this Sign.

And Jesus answered, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

So the people answered, "We have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; what do you mean by saying that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

so at supper, knowing that though the devil had suggested to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

Jesus answered, "The man I am going to give this piece of bread to, when I dip it in the dish." Then he took the piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;

When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now at last the Son of man is glorified, and in him God is glorified: [if God is glorified in him,]

If you knew me, you would know my Father too. You know him now and you have seen him."

Jesus said to him, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and yet you do not understand me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. What do you mean by saying, 'Let us see the Father'?

and I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

They would not be guilty, if I had not come and spoken to them; but, as it is, they have no excuse for their sin ??23 he who hates me hates my Father also.

They would not be guilty, if I had not done deeds among them such as no one has ever done; but, as it is, they have seen ??and they have hated ??both me and my Father.

And when he comes, he will convict the world, convincing men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment:

of sin, because they do not believe in me;

So Jesus spoke; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said: "Father, the time has now come; glorify thy Son that thy Son may glorify thee,

When I was with them, I kept them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me; I guarded them, and not one of them perished ??only the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

The Jews retorted, "But we have a Law, and by [our] Law he is bound to die, because he has made himself out to be God's Son."

So when Jesus saw his mother and his favourite disciple standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, there is your son!"

Away went Mary of Magdala to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord!" ??telling them what he had said to her.

and when the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord," he said, "Unless I see his hands with the mark of the nails, and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe it."

Jesus said to him, "You believe because you have seen me? Blessed be those who believe though they have never seen me."

Many another Sign did Jesus perform in presence of his disciples, which is not recorded in this book;

but these Signs are recorded so that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing may have life through his Name.

Then after breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than the others do?" "Why, Lord," he said, "you know I love you." "Then feed my lambs," said Jesus.

Again he asked him, for the second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Why, Lord," he said, "you know I love you." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," said Jesus.

For the third time he asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Now Peter was vexed at being asked a third time, "Do you love me?" So he replied; "Lord, you know everything, you can see I love you." Jesus said, "Then feed my sheep.
