All things were created through Him,
and apart from Him not one thing was created
that has been created.

Life was in Him,
and that life was the light of men.

That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.

He came as a witness
to testify about the light,
so that all might believe through him.

I have seen and testified that He is the Son of God!”

“Come and you’ll see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they stayed with Him that day. It was about 10 in the morning.

And His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for Your house will consume Me.

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

This man came to Him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him.”

Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.

If I have told you about things that happen on earth and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about things of heaven?

so that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.

“For God loved the world in this way: 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 that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

For everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.’

The one who has accepted His testimony has affirmed that God is true.

When Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard He was making and baptizing more disciples than John

so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph.

“How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever! In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life.”

“Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that You are a prophet.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, yet you Jews say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”

Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

While he was still going down, his slaves met him saying that his boy was alive.

Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk.

Now that day was the Sabbath,

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

After this, Jesus found him in the temple complex and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He is doing, and He will show Him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.

so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid.

I don’t receive man’s testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

“But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

And you are not willing to come to Me so that you may have life.

but I know you—that you have no love for God within you.

How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

And a huge crowd was following Him because they saw the signs that He was performing by healing the sick.

Then Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.

When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”

So they collected them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten.

Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal of approval on Him.”

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God—that you believe in the One He has sent.”

This is the will of Him who sent Me: that I should lose none of those He has given Me but should raise them up on the last day.

For this is the will of My Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Therefore the Jews started complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father.

This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

At that, the Jews argued among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna your fathers ate—and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?

The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father.”

From that moment many of His disciples turned back and no longer accompanied Him.

We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!”

so His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.

The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it—that its deeds are evil.

“Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision—not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers—and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses won’t be broken, are you angry at Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?

Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?

Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David’s offspring and from the town of Bethlehem, where David once lived?”

“You aren’t from Galilee too, are you?” they replied. “Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”

They asked this to trap Him, in order that they might have evidence to accuse Him.

Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with His finger.

Even in your law it is written that the witness of two men is valid.

Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own. But just as the Father taught Me, I say these things.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

The Jews responded to Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You’re a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day; he saw it and rejoiced.”

At that, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple complex.

His disciples questioned Him: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God’s works might be displayed in him.

The day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

“We know this is our son and that he was born blind,” his parents answered.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner!”

They ridiculed him: “You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’ disciples.

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man—we don’t know where He’s from!”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

When Jesus heard that they had thrown the man out, He found him and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

“Who is He, Sir, that I may believe in Him?” he asked.

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

“If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see’—your sin remains.

A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

“I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in My Father’s name testify about Me.

But if I am doing them and you don’t believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.”
