He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.

When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

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.

Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

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.

Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

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.

And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

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

And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

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

The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

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.

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

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

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.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

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

And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life.

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

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.

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?

If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.

If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?

But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

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

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

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

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.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

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.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

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.

So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

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

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.

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.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

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?

However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

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.

He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

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

Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

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

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

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.

Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

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.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

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

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

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.

But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.
