All [things] came into being through him, and apart from him not one [thing] came into being that has come into being.

This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.

That one was not the light, but [came] in order that he could testify about the light.

No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father--that one has made [him] known.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, "Who are you?"

Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

And I did not know him, but in order that he could be revealed to Israel, because of this I came baptizing with water."

And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, '[The one] upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him--this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One of God.

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

Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater [things] than these!"

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 saying that Jesus had spoken.

This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that [you are] a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him."

Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'It is necessary for you to be born from above.'

And just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, thus it is necessary [that] the Son of Man be lifted up,

so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

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

For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.

And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.

You yourselves testify about me that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.'

It is necessary for that one to increase, but [for] me to decrease."

The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true.

Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

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

(For his disciples had gone away into the town so that they could buy food.)

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw [water]!"

The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you [people] say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship."

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (the one called Christ); "whenever that one comes, he will proclaim all [things] to us."

And at this [point] his disciples came, and they were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you seek?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

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

Jesus said to them, "My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his work.

Do you not say, 'There are yet four months and the harvest comes'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

The one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, in order that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I have done."

And they were saying to the woman, "No longer because of {what you said} do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!"

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own homeland.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus said to him, "Go, your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he departed.

Now [as] he was going down, his slaves met him, saying that his child was alive.

So the father knew that [it was] that same hour at which Jesus said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

Jesus, [when he] saw this one lying [there] and knew that he had [been sick] a long time already, said to him, "Do you want to become well?"

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)

But he answered them, "The one who made me well--that one said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk!'"

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

So Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these [things] also the Son does likewise.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished.

in order 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.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

(And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these [things] in order that you may be saved.)

That one was the lamp [which was] burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.

"But I have a testimony greater than John's, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them--the very works which I am doing--[these] testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.

You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.

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

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

But if you do not believe that one's writings, how will you believe my words?"

After these [things] Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias).

And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.

{Then Jesus, when he looked up} and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these [people] can eat?"

Philip replied to him, "Two hundred denarii [worth of] bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little."

And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost."

Now [when] the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say, "This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!"

Then Jesus, [because he] knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make [him] king, withdrew again up the mountain [by] himself alone.

On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one."

So they said to him, "What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?"

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God: that you believe in [the one] whom that one sent."

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

But I said to you that you have seen me and do not believe.

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose [any] of them, but raise them up on the last day.

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

Now the Jews began to grumble 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--this one has seen the Father.)

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

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, [so] also the one who eats me--that one will live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

But Jesus, [because he] knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

And he said, "Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father."

And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.

Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is 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 would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?

And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?

So the Jews said to one another, "Where [is] this one going to go, that we will not find him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, [is he]?
