This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."

And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

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.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is now complete.

He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.

Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

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?"

"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?"

For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'

They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Do not marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who comes into the world."

Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

This is the will of him who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

This is the will of my Father who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

The Jews therefore argued with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

This is the bread which came down out of heaven?not as the fathers ate, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?"

But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by the Father."

At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

The Jewish leaders therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Messiah?

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"

The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"

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.

Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."

Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some said, "What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee?

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."

But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."

they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.

He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."

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

Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

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."

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

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

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."

But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."

Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."

Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight ? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."

When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

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?"

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."

When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

"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.

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.

For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

"Now my soul is troubled; and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.

Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.

Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

I am telling you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.
