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

What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

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

The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered 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."

Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"

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?"

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

In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."

The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

Don't you say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

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 came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

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.

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

for an angel went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had.

A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

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

But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

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

Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

"Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

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

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

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.

But he said to them, "It is I. Don't be afraid."

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

Jesus answered them, "Most certainly 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 must we do, that we may work the works of God?"

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?

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"

Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don't believe.

All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

This is the will of my Father 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 the one 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."

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

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

It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

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. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

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

Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

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

This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, 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?

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

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

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

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

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

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

But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

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

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.

They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

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

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

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

"Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

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

Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."

They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
