<t /><p class="bodytext">Now a certain man, a Pharisee<n id="1" /> named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council,<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Now a dispute came about between some of John&#8217;s disciples and a certain Jew<n id="1" /> concerning ceremonial washing.<n id="2" />

One of Jesus&#8217; disciples,<n id="1" /> Andrew, Simon Peter&#8217;s brother, said to him,

Never before<n id="1" /> has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.<n id="2" />

But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep.

Then<n id="1" /> they attempted<n id="2" /> again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches.<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now some Greeks<n id="1" /> were among those who had gone up to worship at the feast.

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people<n id="1" /> to myself.&#8221;

He<n id="1" /> will glorify me,<n id="2" /> because he will receive<n id="3" /> from me what is mine<n id="4" /> and will tell it to you.<n id="5" />

(For they did not yet understand<n id="1" /> the scripture that Jesus<n id="2" /> must rise from the dead.)<n id="3" />p>

This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.p>

So he made a whip of cords<n id="1" /> and drove them all out of the temple courts,<n id="2" /> with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers<n id="3" /> and overturned their tables.

<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus told them, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

<p class="bodytext">Now a large crowd of Judeans<n id="1" /> learned<n id="2" /> that Jesus<n id="3" /> was there, and so they came not only because of him<n id="4" /> but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

I have given them your word,<n id="1" /> and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world,<n id="2" /> just as I do not belong to the world.<n id="3" />

No one<n id="1" /> has ascended<n id="2" /> into heaven except the one who descended from heaven &#8211; the Son of Man.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">A Samaritan woman<n id="1" /> came to draw water. Jesus said to her, &#8220;Give me some water<n id="2" /> to drink.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty<n id="2" /> again.

Jesus did this as his second miraculous sign<n id="1" /> when he returned from Judea to Galilee.p>

But some boats from Tiberias<n id="1" /> came to shore<n id="2" /> near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.<n id="3" />
