But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name,

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

John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, This was He of whom I spoke: He who comes after me has been before me, for He was preceding me.

No one has seen God at any time; the Only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

And this is the witness 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 so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say of yourself?

And they who were sent were from the Pharisees.

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

He it is who, coming after me, who has been before me; of whom I am not worthy to loosen the thong of His sandal.

The next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, 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 has been before me, for He preceded me.

And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, that One said to me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon Him, He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

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

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, We have found Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile!

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine (and did not know where it was from, but the servants who drew the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting.

And He said to those who sold doves, Take these things away from here. Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise.

The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.

He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.

And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, He who was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, He baptizes, and all come 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. Then my joy is fulfilled.

He who comes from above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly and speaks from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all,

He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

For He whom God has sent speaks the Words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

He who believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water.

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children and his cattle?

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In that you spoke truly.

God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things.

Come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Is this One not 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 to life eternal, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed upon Him because of the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that I ever did.

In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, of blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

Therefore the Jews said to him who had been healed, It is the sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up the bed.

He answered them, He who made me whole said to me, Take up your bed and walk.

Then they asked him, Who is the man who said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

And he did not know Him who had cured him, for Jesus had moved away, a crowd being in the place.

The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

so that all should honor the Son, even 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 on Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death to life.

Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they who hear shall live.

Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves shall hear His voice,

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

I can do nothing of My own self. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who has sent Me.

There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.

And you do not have His Word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He has sent.

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

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.

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

And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who had reclined; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

Therefore they gathered and filled twelve handbaskets with fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over to those who had eaten.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He has sent.

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 on Me shall never thirst.

All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will in no way cast out.

For I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.

And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes on Him should have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day.

No one can come to Me unless the Father who has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all be taught of God." Therefore everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to Me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God, He has seen the Father.

Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on Me has everlasting life.

He who partakes of My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him.

As the living Father has sent Me, and I live through the Father, so he who partakes of Me, even he shall live by Me.

This is the Bread which came down from Heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he who partakes of this Bread shall live forever.

Then when they had heard, many of His disciples said, This is a hard saying, who can hear it?

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 is the one betraying Him.

Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal life.

But he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for it was he who was about to betray Him, being one of the Twelve.

Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

He who speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

The crowd answered and said, You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?

Then Jesus cried in the temple as He taught, saying, You both know Me, and you know from where I come. And I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

(But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Nicodemus said to them, (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them),

But as they continued to ask Him, He lifted Himself up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.

And bending back up, and seeing no one but the woman, Jesus said to her, Woman, where are the ones who accused you? Did not one give judgment against you?

Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me.

I am one who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness concerning Me.

Then they said to Him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, Even the same which I also say to you.

I have many things to say and to judge of you, but He who sent Me is true, and I speak to the world those things what I heard of Him.

And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things which please Him.

Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.

But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth which I have heard beside God; this Abraham did not do.

He who is of God hears God's Words. Therefore you do not hear them because you are not of God.

And I do not seek My own glory, but there is One who seeks and judges.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself?

Jesus answered, If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

And passing by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.
