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

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory – the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

John said, “I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

John answered them, “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,

I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”

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

Now on the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

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?”

He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming to him and being baptized.

So he asked them the time when his condition began to improve, and they told him, “Yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoon the fever left him.”

Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and started walking. (Now that day was a Sabbath.)

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.

He was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time in his light.

nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.

You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me,

Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.
