What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.

No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.

And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.

Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.

So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?
