The Word was with God in the beginning.

But some of them said, “This is the man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?”

I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God.”

Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, “How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?”

But this rabble who do not know the law are accursed!”

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”

He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him.

(Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

Then some of the residents of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, “This really is the Prophet!”

They replied, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”

This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’

Then the Jewish leaders said to him, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up in three days?”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can’t be the Messiah, can he?”

Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – he has seen the Father.)

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
