He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,

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

John testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

No one has seen God at any time. The only God, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.

He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, 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 ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in 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 in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,

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

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man.

He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming 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. So this joy of mine is now complete.

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

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

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says 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 of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"

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

for you have had five husbands; and he 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 comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."

Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."

"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?"

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

He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."

In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"

Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"

But he who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

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

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

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

"Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.

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

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.

It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.

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

"Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

A great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were sick.

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

Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who comes into the world."

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

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

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

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

This is the will of my Father who sent me, that everyone 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 in the last day.

It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

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

Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives 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, he will also live because of me.

This is the bread which came down out of heaven?not as the fathers ate, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, 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 speak to you are spirit, and 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 it was who would betray him.

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

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

Jesus therefore 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 him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

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

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."

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

Even 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 testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."

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

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

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