The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.

Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"

"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."

"Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."

Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.

Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?

"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."

But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."

There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

"You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."

"Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

"Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."

"In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber.

But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.

Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.

I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true."

So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."

"See how dear he held him," said the Jews.

He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages.

And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."

"Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of all of you."

Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.

"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.

By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.

for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence.

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.

I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.

So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just what the soldiers did.

This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you also may believe.

So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus--and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him."

This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.

So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.

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.

That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, and has written this history; and we know that his testimony is true.
