From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.

This Word was from the first in relation with God.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.

No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!

Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.

Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!

And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.

And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.

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.

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.

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.

But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

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.

A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

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?

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

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

I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

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.

For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

But I have knowledge of you that you have no love for God in your hearts.

How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

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.

The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.

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.

Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

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.

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

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.

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.

But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.

But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
