Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”

The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”

Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.

For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.

Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.

Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”

They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.

One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

…so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)

He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.

For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”

For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.

So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

…just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”

“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

…then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,

…and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”

I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

…and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

…and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”

So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.

“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”

“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.

…for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.

But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.

In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
