There was a man, sent by God, whose name was John.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become sons of God, to them that believe on his name,

And the Word became flesh and tabernacled with us and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only child with a father, full of grace and truth.

John testified of him, and cried, saying, This is the one of whom I said, He that comes after me existed before me, for he was before me.

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

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

Then they said to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us; what say you of yourself?

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet said.

He is the one coming after me, the strings of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.

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

And I knew him not, but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, On whom you see the Spirit descend and remain on him, this is he that baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.

and looking at Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God.

he first found his brother Simon, and said to him, We have found the Messiah; which is interpreted, Christ [Anointed].

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, You are Simon, the son of Jonas; you shall be called Cephas; which is interpreted, Peter [Rock].

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, See an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.

Then the Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, that you do these things?

And there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

This man came to him by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can perform these miracles which you perform unless God is with him.

Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he become an unborn infant of his mother a second time, and be born?

Jesus answered, I tell you most truly, unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is a spirit.

The Spirit breathes where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you know not whence it comes, nor whither it goes; so is every one that has been born of the Spirit.

And no one has ascended into heaven but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;

He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

And this is the judgment; that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil.

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given him from heaven.

He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; this my joy, therefore, is fully attained.

He that comes from above is above all; he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He that comes from heaven is above all;

He that receives his testimony has sealed that God is true.

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

The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence then have you the living water?

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

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

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

You worship what you know not; we worship what we know; for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him.

God is a Spirit, and those that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

The woman said to him, I know that the Messiah is coming, called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.

Come and see a man who has told me all things which I have done; is this the Christ?

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

For in this is the saying true; He that sows is one, and he that reaps is another.

and said to the woman, We no longer believe on account of your report, for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world.

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet is without honor in his native country.

Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

And as he was now going down his servants met him, and told, saying, Your child lives.

And there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming another goes down before me.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry the bed.

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

For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

that all should honor the Son as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father that sent him.

I tell you most truly, that the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those that hear shall live.

For as the Father has life in himself, so has he also given to the Son to have life in himself;

and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he is the Son of man.

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

If I testify of myself my testimony is not true.

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

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

Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii [$28] worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each may take a little.

There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for so many?

Then Jesus took the bread, and having given thanks, distributed it to those reclining; likewise also of the fishes, as much as they wished.

Then the men, seeing what a miracle Jesus had performed, said, This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world.

But he said to them, It is I; be not afraid.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God; to believe on him whom he has sent.

Our fathers eat the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

for the bread of God is he that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.

Then they said to him, Sir, always give us this bread.

And this is the will of him that sent me; that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should 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.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how, then, does he say, I came down from heaven?

It is written in the prophets, And all shall be taught of God. Every one who has heard and learned of the Father comes to me.

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

this is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.

Then the Jews contended one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.

As the living Father sent me and I live by the Father, so he that eats me shall live by me.

This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers eat and died, he that eats this bread shall live forever.

Then many of his disciples hearing him said, This is a hard saying; who can hear him?

The Spirit is that which makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

He answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve? and of you one is a devil.

Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

And there was much complaining concerning him among the multitude; some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the people.

Then Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not mine but his that sent me.

If any one will do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or whether I speak from myself.

He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this [man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the sabbath.

Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

And behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers at length learned that this is the Christ?

But we know this man whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is.

Then Jesus cried, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not;

Then the Jews said one to another, Where is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

He that believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of him shall flow rivers of living water.

Then some of the multitude hearing these words, said, This is truly the prophet;

others said, This is the Christ; others said, [No]; for does the Christ come from Galilee?

They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? search and see; for no prophet is raised up from Galilee.
