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.’”

And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

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

John answered them saying, “I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.

It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’

I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

Philip *found Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”

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.”

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.

Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”

Jesus *said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.”

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.

You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

What is this statement that He said, ‘You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

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.

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

Then He said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

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.

Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.

Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

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’;

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

While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the one.”

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

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

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

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

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”

This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

So Simon Peter *gestured to him, and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”

Jesus then *answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He *took and *gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

And you know the way where I am going.”

Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.”

Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;

I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “Whom do you seek?”

They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Therefore He again asked them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”

to fulfill the word which He spoke, “Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.”

Then the slave-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.”

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”
