He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?

So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life.

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?

But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.

The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

So they went out of the town and came to him.

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.

And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.

So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed and go.

Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.

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

For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent.

I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

So his brothers said to him, Go away from here into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works which you do.

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

For even his brothers had no belief in him.

At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, Where is he?

And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.

The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.

So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

So there was a division among the people because of him.

And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.
