But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were begotten, not from blood, nor from a will of flesh, nor from a will of man, but from God.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John. This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him. That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light. He was the TRUE light coming into the world that enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own, and his own did not accept him. But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were begotten, not from blood, nor from a will of flesh, nor from a will of man, but from God.
But whoever would deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father in the heavens. Think not that I came to spread peace on the earth. I came not to spread peace, but a sword. For I came to divide a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. read more.
And a man's foes, are those of his own household. He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me. And he who does not take his cross and follow behind me, is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life because of me will find it. He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.

Jesus says to him, He who is bathed has no need to wash the feet either, but is entirely clean. And ye are clean, but not all. For he knew the man betraying him. Because of this he said, Ye are not all clean. When therefore he washed their feet, and took his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye understand what I have done to you? read more.
Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am. If I then, the Lord and the teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash each other's feet. For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done to you ye also should do. Truly, truly, I say to you, a bondman is not greater than his lord, nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him. If ye have seen these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. I speak not about you all. I have seen whom I chose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me lifted up his heel against me. From henceforth I tell you before it happens, so that when it happens, ye may believe that I am. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any man whomever I may send, receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, receives me, and whoever may receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me. And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain man, who does not follow us, casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not, for there is no man who will do a mighty work in my name, and will be able quickly to speak evil of me.
