It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

…but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

The true Light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”

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

And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”

All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.

“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

…and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

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

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”

When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

…(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.

This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.

Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

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

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

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

And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

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

A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

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

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

“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

…got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

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

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

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

However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

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.

So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,

…and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.

They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”

“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.

Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

…and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
