He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water.”

I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?”

He *said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

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

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip *said to him, “Come and see.”

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”

Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”

And He *said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Jesus *said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.

And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him.

and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.”

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purification.

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 has been made full.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

So He *came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

The woman *said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.”

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”

So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and *said to the men,

“Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?”

So the disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?”

Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.”

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and his whole household.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”

So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.”

Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

so that all will 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 Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

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

For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him,

“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

When they were filled, He *said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost.”

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

Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?”

So they said to Him, “What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?

Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”

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

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”

Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

So Jesus *said to them, “My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.

So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?”

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

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.

They answered him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.”

Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?”

They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”

So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
