There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

He told them a parable. "See the fig tree, and all the trees.

When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.

"So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.

A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."

After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."

The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."

They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say it, because I am."

Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "So you say."

When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard concerning him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

For look, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man."

All the crowds that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed.

But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they did not see him."

See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,

The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has seen God at any time. The only God, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

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

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell 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? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Now a dispute arose between John's disciples with a Jew about purification.

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.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever refuses to believe in the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.

Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

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."

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

So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

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

Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore 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." He believed, as did his whole house.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.

For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.

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.

After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

A great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were sick.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

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

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

On the next day, the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

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?'"

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."

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

So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.

They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
