This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

The Jews then said to Him, “What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?”

this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?

so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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.”

John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

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

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 has been made full.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

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.)

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

She *said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

The woman *said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.”

The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

The woman *said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.”

They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.

Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

So the disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?”

Jesus *said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

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.

So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.”

The royal official *said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

Jesus *said to him, “Go; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off.

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

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

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.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”

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.”

Jesus *said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.”

They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”

Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

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

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.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.

so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

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

I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

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

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.

Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.”

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him,

So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”

Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?”

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

So they said to Him, “What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?

Then they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

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

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

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.”

As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

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

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.

Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

For not even His brothers were believing in Him.

So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?”

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.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

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

So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?”

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.

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

The Jews then said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

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.

So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”

No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?

Nicodemus (he who came to Him before, being one of them) *said to them,

“Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”

They answered him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.”
