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

He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.

In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.

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

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.

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.'"

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

These things were done in Bethany across 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." 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.

On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."

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

And the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

Now Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."

The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, after seeing his signs which he did.

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 Jewish people.

John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.

For John was not yet thrown into prison.

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."

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

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

At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"

Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

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

As he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was alive.

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.

After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

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

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.

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

Now the Passover, the Jewish festival, was near.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

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.

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.

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

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.

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.

Then what if you would 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 who would betray him.

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

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.

Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.

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."

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

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Hasn't the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

They, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

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. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.

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

Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

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."

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

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

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

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

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 spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

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

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

When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

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

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

Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"

So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."

Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.

Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

"Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"

Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

On the next day a great crowd had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
