Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was present.

Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.

The wine gave out, and Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine!"

Jesus said to her, "Do not try to direct me. It is not yet time for me to act."

Jesus said to them, "Fill these jars with water."

This, the first of the signs of his mission, Jesus showed at Cana in Galilee. By it he showed his greatness, and his disciples believed in him.

After this Jesus went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

Now the Jewish Passover was approaching, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it in three days!"

So afterward when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the passage of Scripture and what Jesus had said.

But Jesus on his part would not trust himself to them, for he knew them all,

This man went to Jesus one night, and said to him, "Master, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can show the signs that you do, unless God is with him."

Jesus answered him, "I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born over again from above!"

Jesus answered, "I tell you, if a man does not owe his birth to water and spirit, he cannot get into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus answered, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet ignorant of this?

After this Jesus went into the country of Judea with his disciples, and stayed there with them and baptized.

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

and Jacob's spring was there. So Jesus, tired with his journey, sat down just as he was by the spring. It was about noon.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

Jesus answered, "If you knew what God has to give, and who it is that said to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

Jesus answered, "Anyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,

The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her,

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor at Jerusalem.

Jesus said to her, "I who am talking to you am he!"

Jesus said to them, "My food is doing the will of him who has sent me, and finishing his work.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he did stay there two days.

When the two days were over, Jesus went on to Galilee,

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and cure his son, for he was at the point of death.

Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs and marvels you will never believe!"

Jesus said to him, "You can go home. Your son is going to live." The man believed what Jesus said to him and went home.

So the father knew that it was the very time when Jesus had said to him "Your son is going to live." And he and his whole household believed in Jesus.

This second sign Jesus showed after coming back from Judea to Galilee.

After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Jesus saw him lying there, and finding that he had been in this condition for a long time, said to him, "Do you want to get well?"

Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk!"

But the man who had been cured did not know who it was, for as there was a crowd there, Jesus had left the place.

Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him, "See! You are well again. Give up sin, or something worse may happen to you."

The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.

This was why the Jews used to persecute Jesus, because he did things like this on the Sabbath.

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you, the Son cannot do anything of his own accord, unless he sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, or Tiberias, and a great crowd followed him,

But Jesus went up on the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.

So Jesus, raising his eyes and seeing that a great crowd was coming up to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy food for these people to eat?"

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." There was plenty of grass there, so the men threw themselves down, about five thousand of them.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and gave thanks, and distributed them among the people who were resting on the ground, and in the same way as much of the fish as they wanted.

So Jesus, seeing that they meant to come and carry him off to make him king, retired again to the hill by himself.

and got into a boat and started across the sea for Capernaum. By this time it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them;

When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat, and they were terrified.

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not embarked in it with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

But some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where they had eaten the bread after Jesus had given thanks for it.

So when the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were any longer there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of him.

Jesus answered, "I tell you, it is not because of the signs you have seen that you have come in search of me, but because you ate that bread and had all you wanted of it.

Jesus answered them, "The work God has for you is to believe in the messenger that he has sent to you."

Jesus said to them, "I tell you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the bread out of heaven,

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread that gives life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty.

and they said, "Is he not Joseph's son, Jesus, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"

Jesus answered, "Do not complain to one another.

Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no self-existent life.

Jesus said all this while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.

But Jesus, knowing that his disciples were complaining about this, said to them, "Does this stagger you?

Yet there are some of you who will not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who would not believe, and who was going to betray him.

So Jesus said to the Twelve, "Do you mean to go away too?"

Jesus answered them, "Did I not myself select all twelve of you? And even of you, one is an informer."

After this Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the Jews were making efforts to kill him.

Then Jesus said to them, "It is not yet time for me to act, but any time is suitable for you.

But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, then Jesus went up also, not publicly, but as though he did not wish to be observed.

But when the festival was half over, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach.

So Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own; it comes from him who has sent me.

Jesus answered, "I have done just one deed, and you are all astonished at it.

So Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple, cried out, "You do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come of my own accord but someone who is very real, whom you do not know, has sent me.

Jesus said, "I am to be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who has sent me.

Now on the last day, the great day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

He meant by this the Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive??or the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

One of them, Nicodemus, who had previously gone to Jesus, said to them,

Then Jesus spoke to them again and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not have to walk in darkness but will have the light of life."

Jesus answered, "Even if I am testifying to myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I have come from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father too."

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them,

So Jesus said, "When you lift the Son of Man up in the air, then you will know that I am what I say, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but speak as the Father has instructed me.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide by what I teach, you are really disciples of mine,

Jesus answered, "I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.

They answered, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, then do what Abraham did.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he has sent me.

Jesus answered, "I am not possessed, but I have respect for my Father, and you have no respect for me.

Jesus answered, "If I show special honor to myself, such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who shows me honor. You say he is your God,

Jesus said to them, "I tell you, I existed before Abraham was born!"

Jesus answered, "It was neither for his own sin nor for that of his parents, but to let what God can do be illustrated in his case.

He answered, "The man they call Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So I went and when I had washed them I could see."

Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the clay and made him able to see.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already made an agreement that if anyone acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogues.

Jesus learned that they had excluded him, and he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Jesus said to him, "You have seen him already, and it is he who is now talking to you."

And Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge men, that those who cannot see may see, and that those who can see may become blind."

Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would be guilty of no sin, but as it is, you say 'We can see'; so your sin continues.

This was the figure Jesus used in speaking to them, but they did not understand what he meant by it.

So Jesus said again, "I tell you, I am the door of the sheepfold.

and Jesus was walking up and down inside the Temple, in Solomon's Colonnade.

Jesus answered, "I have told you so, and you will not believe it. The things I have been doing by my Father's authority are my credentials,

Jesus answered, "I have let you see many good things from the Father; which of them do you mean to stone me for?"

Jesus answered, "Is it not declared in your Law, 'I said, "You are gods" '?
