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

The Word was with God in the beginning.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory -- the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

and because of his word many more believed.

Jesus told him, "Go home; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.

nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.

If those people to whom the word of God came were called 'gods' (and the scripture cannot be broken),

so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled. He said, "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

You are clean already because of the word that I have spoken to you.

Remember what I told you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours too.

Now this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without reason.'

"I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth.

He said this to fulfill the word he had spoken, "I have not lost a single one of those whom you gave me."

(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind of death he was going to die.)
