THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine.

He was with God in the very beginning:

A man appeared, sent by God, whose name was John:

On those who have accepted him, however, he has conferred the right of being children of God, that is, on those who believe in his Name,

who owe this birth of theirs to God, not to human blood, nor to any impulse of the flesh or of man.

Nobody has ever seen God, but God has been unfolded by the divine One, the only Son, who lies upon the Father's breast.

Next day he observed Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, there is the lamb of God, who is to remove the sin of the world!

Now I did see it, and I testify that he is the Son of God."

he gazed at Jesus as he walked about, and said, "Look, there is the lamb of God!"

"Nazaret!" said Nathanael, "can anything good come out of Nazaret?" "Come and see," said Philip.

"Rabbi," said Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel!"

He said to him, "Truly, truly I tell you all, you shall see heaven open wide and God's angels ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

and said to him, "Everybody serves the good wine first, and then the poorer wine after people have drunk freely; you have kept the good wine till now."

he came one night to Jesus and said, "Rabbi, we know you have come from God to teach us, for no one could perform these Signs of yours unless God were with him."

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, no one can see God's Realm unless he is born from above."

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter God's Realm.

For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing.

God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

He who believes in him is not sentenced; he who will not believe is sentenced already, for having refused to believe in the name of the only Son of God.

Whoever does accept it, certifies to the truth of God.

For he whom God has sent utters the words of God ??God gives him the Spirit in no sparing measure;

He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life ??God's anger broods over him."

Jesus answered, "If you knew what is the free gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked him instead, and he would have given you 'living' water."

"Sir," said the woman, "you have nothing to draw water with, and it is a deep well; where do you get your 'living' water?

God is Spirit, and his worshippers must worship him in Spirit and in reality."

Jesus said to him, "Get up, lift your mat, and walk."

And instantly the man got well, lifted his mat, and started to walk. Now it was the sabbath on that day.

But this only made the Jews more eager to kill him, because he not merely broke the sabbath but actually spoke of God as his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.

Truly, truly I tell you, the time is coming, it has come already, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen will live;

and come out, the doers of good to be raised to life, ill-doers to be raised for the sentence of judgment.

I can do nothing of my own accord; I pass judgment on men as I am taught by God, and my judgment is just, because my aim is not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

but I know there is no love to God in you;

How can you believe, you who accept credit from one another instead of aiming at the credit which comes from the only God?

Philip answered, "Seven pounds' worth of bread would not be enough for them, for everybody to get even a morsel."

Jesus said, "Get the people to lie down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot, so the men lay down, numbering about five thousand.

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to those who were reclining; so too with the fish, as much as they wanted.

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

Work for no perishing food, but for that lasting food which means eternal life; the Son of man will give you that, for the Father, God, has certified him."

Then they asked him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?"

Jesus replied to them, "This is the work of God, to believe in him whom God has sent."

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

In the prophets it is written, and they will be all instructed by God; everyone who has listened to the Father and learned from him, comes to me.

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

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, who are we to go to? You have got words of eternal life,

and we believe, we are certain, that you are the holy One of God."

And the crowd disputed about him hotly; some said, "He is a good man," but others said, "No, he is misleading the people."

anyone who chooses to do his will, shall understand whether my teaching comes from God or whether I am talking on my own authority.

(They said this to test him, in order to get a charge against him.) Jesus stooped down, and began to write with his finger on the ground;

but now you want to kill me ??to kill a man who has told you the truth, the truth I have learned from God. Abraham did not do that.

You do the deeds of your father." They said to him, "We are no bastards: we have one father, even God."

Said Jesus, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came here from God; I did not come of my own accord, I was sent by him.

He who belongs to God listens to the words of God; you do not listen to them, because you do not belong to God."

Jesus replied, "Were I to glorify myself, my glory would be nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me; you say 'He is our God,'

Jesus replied, "Neither for his own sin nor for his parents' ??it was to let the work of God be illustrated in him.

While daylight lasts, we must be busy with the work of God: night comes, when no one can do any work.

He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some clay and smeared my eyes with it and told me, 'Go and wash them in Siloam'; so I went and washed them, and I got my sight."

Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath"; others said, "How can a sinner perform such Signs?" They were divided on this.

So the man born blind was summoned a second time, and told, "Now give God the praise; this man, we know quite well, is only a sinner."

We know God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from."

God, we know, does not listen to sinners; he listens to anyone who is devout and who obeys his will.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

Truly, truly I tell you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs up somewhere else, he is a thief and a robber;

he who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

The gate-keeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice; he calls his sheep by name and leads them out.

(I am the Gate; whoever enters by me will be saved, he will go in and out and find pasture.)

I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd lays down his own life for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, I know my sheep and my sheep know me

Jesus replied, "I have let you see many a good deed of God; for which of them do you mean to stone me?"

The Jews retorted, "We mean to stone you, not for a good deed, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, make yourself God."

If the Law said they were gods, to whom the word of God came ??and scripture cannot be broken ??36 do you mean to tell me, whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

When Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness is not to end in death; the end of it is the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby."

"Lord," said the disciples, "if he has fallen asleep, he will get better."

But now ??well, I know whatever you ask God for, he will grant you."

"Yes, Lord," she said, "I do believe you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world" ??28 and with these words she went off to call her sister Mary, telling her secretly, "The Teacher is here, and he is calling for you."

"Did I not tell you," said Jesus, "if you will only believe, you shall see the glory of God?"

and not merely for the nation but to gather into one the scattered children of God.)

they preferred the approval of men to the approval of God.

the Father had put everything into his hands ??knowing that he had come from God and was going to God,

When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now at last the Son of man is glorified, and in him God is glorified: [if God is glorified in him,]

God will glorify him in Himself and glorify him at once.

Let not your hearts be disquieted; you believe ??believe in God and also in me.

They will excommunicate you; indeed the time is coming when anyone who kills you will imagine he is performing a service to God.

Yet ??I am telling you the truth ??my going is for your good. If I do not depart, the Helper will not come to you; whereas if I go, I will send him to you.

for the Father loves you himself, because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from God.

Now we are sure you know everything, and need no one to put questions to you. This makes us believe you have come forth from God."

And this is eternal life, that they know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou hast sent, even Jesus Christ.

he answered, "I told you that I am he; if it is me you are looking for, let these men get away"

Said one of the high priest's servants, a kinsman of the man whose ear had been cut off by Peter, "Did I not see you with him in the orchard?"

The Jews retorted, "But we have a Law, and by [our] Law he is bound to die, because he has made himself out to be God's Son."

He who saw it has borne witness (his witness is true; God knows he is telling the truth), that you may believe.

they both started to run, but the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and got to the tomb first.

Jesus said, "Cease clinging to me. I have not ascended yet to the Father, but go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and yours, to my God and yours.'"

Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

but these Signs are recorded so that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing may have life through his Name.

"Lads," said Jesus, "have you got anything?" "No," they answered.

When they got to land, they saw a charcoal fire burning, with fish cooking on it, and some bread.

(he said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God); then he added, "Follow me."
