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

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

and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.

Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

He found in the temple courts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming to him and being baptized.

(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, eat something."

A great number of sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying in these walkways.

For this reason the Jewish leaders were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.

A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.

When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted."

Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.

Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they caught sight of Jesus walking on the lake, approaching the boat, and they were frightened.

So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

But there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)

So the Jewish leaders were looking for him at the feast, asking, "Where is he?"

There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," but others, "He deceives the common people."

Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, "How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?"

(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.

(Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."

Jesus replied, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.

Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.

So they asked him, "How then were you made to see?"

(His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

They replied, "You were born completely in sinfulness, and yet you presume to teach us?" So they threw him out.

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked him, "We are not blind too, are we?"

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."

All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

Many of them were saying, "He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

If those people to whom the word of God came were called 'gods' (and the scripture cannot be broken),

The disciples replied, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?"

Then the people who were with Mary in the house consoling her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Thus they were looking for Jesus, and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, "What do you think? That he won't come to the feast?"

for on account of him many of the Jewish people from Jerusalem were going away and believing in Jesus.

(His disciples did not understand these things when they first happened, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him and that these things had happened to him.)

So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it.

Now some Greeks were among those who had gone up to worship at the feast.

Just before the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end.

(Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire they had made, warming themselves because it was cold. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.)

They replied, "If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you."

Jesus replied, "My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here."

Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

The two were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first.

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the disciples had gathered together and locked the doors of the place because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"

Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael (who was from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of his were together.

He told them, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.

Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

So Simon Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was not torn.

I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go."

There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
