And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John [the Immerser] was also immersing people in Aenon, near Salem [Note: These locations are thought to have been in northeastern Judea, near the Jordan River], because there was a lot of water there; so people were coming to be immersed.

He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the lot which Jacob gave his son Joseph.

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

For a messenger at a time went down into the pool, and troubled the water: then he having first stepped in after the troubling of the water became healthy, by whatever malady a long while since he was laid.

Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?

For the Father dearly loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will be filled with wonder.

but said they, what miracle then will you let us see to make us believe you? what strange work will you perform?

And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"

so his brothers said to him, "Leave this and go across into Judaea, to let your disciples witness what you can do;

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.

And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, "He is a good [man]," but others were saying, "No, but he deceives the crowd."

Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.

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.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, 'From within him will flow rivers of living water.'"

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

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

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;

They lead him to the Pharisees, him formerly blind.

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them - Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, - and do see.

This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others.

but as to how he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him [and stop asking us]; he is of age, he will speak for himself and give his own account of it.”

to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;

After he has let his own [sheep] out, he walks on ahead of them, and they follow him because they recognize his voice.

A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come to let them have life, and to let them have it in abundance.

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

These words again led to a difference of opinion among the Jews.

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?

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces a lot of grain.

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

"I am not talking about all of you; for I know the ones I have chosen [i.e., which of the twelve apostles would be faithful]. But let the Scripture [Psa. 41:9] be fulfilled [that says], 'The person who eats with me has [viciously] turned against me.'

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.

Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe [Me] because of the [very] works themselves [which you have witnessed].

I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.

The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him].”

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me.

This is how my Father is glorified, when you produce a lot of fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

If you lay my commands to heart, you will remain in my love; just as I have laid the Father's commands to heart and remain in his love.

Remember what I said to you--'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have laid my Message to heart, they will lay yours to heart also.

"I still have a lot to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.

However, when the Holy Spirit of truth comes, He will lead you [apostles] into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own authority, but will speak [only] what He hears [from the Father]. And He will tell you about the things that are to come.

I have told you this in figures, but the time is coming when I shall speak to you in figures no longer; I shall let you know plainly about the Father.

And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.

I have revealed thee to those whom thou gavest me from the world; they were thy own, and thou gavest them to me; and they have laid thy Message to heart.

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
