In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

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.

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”

But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

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.

Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.

John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized—

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.”

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

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.

Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

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.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]

A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

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.”

But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

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

For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

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.

He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

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

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

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?”

This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

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.

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

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.

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

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 that would betray Him.

And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

After these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was near.

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”

Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.

But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court.

And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

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

He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

They *brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.

Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon.

And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.

Many came to Him and were saying, “While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true.”

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.

Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;

Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.

And when she heard it, she *got up quickly and was coming to Him.

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, *came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus *said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
