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

The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.

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?"

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

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.'

And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

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

And 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 about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.

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

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell 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? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

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."

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

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Now a dispute arose between 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 is now complete.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever refuses to believe in the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

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

Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

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

So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

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

Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore 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." He believed, as did his whole house.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

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

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

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

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.

For 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. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.

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, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

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

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

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

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

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."

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

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

When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

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.

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."

Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Messiah?

So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.

They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"

It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.

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."

Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.

They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."

They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"

Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."

Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."

Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.
