All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.

Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.

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

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, “Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”

John replied, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.

(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

Jesus told him, “Go home; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.

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

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

I testify about myself and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?”

So Jesus said to them again, “I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.

Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.

After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty!”

So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.”

They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world.”

The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”

When John’s two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority.
