But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

John bore witness of him and cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'"

No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

John answered them, "I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.

It is he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'

I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers at their business.

And he said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of merchandise!"

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who came from heaven the Son of Man.

He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God."

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified behold, he is baptizing, and all are going to him."

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now full.

"He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all.

He who has received his testimony has certified that God is true.

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without measure.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his cattle?"

Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he will tell us all things."

Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."

"Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

One man who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Take up your bed, and walk.'"

They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk'?"

Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

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

For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice

and come forth those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

"I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the testimony which he bears of me is true.

And the Father who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were diseased.

"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"

Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

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

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

Not that any one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has everlasting life.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me.

This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever."

Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"

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

But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray him.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who was to betray him, though one of the twelve.

Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

The people answered, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?"

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?

Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

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

The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

I am One who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me."

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."
