No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.

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

Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”

So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon.

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed along with his entire household.

So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”

But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.

And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,

So they said to him, “Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.”

You go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because my time has not yet fully arrived.”

“We are descendants of Abraham,” they replied, “and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”

We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
