Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Do not marble that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
Truly, truly, I say to you we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. If you have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except HE Who descended from heaven, then Son of Man, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in HIM may have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that HE gave His only Son, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through HIM. Whoever believes in HIM is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For every one who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should bee exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.
If you knew the gift of God, and Who it is that is saying to you, 'Give ME a drink,' you would have asked HIM, and HE would have given you living water."Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him an spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Believe ME, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the FATHER. You worship what you do not know we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is not there, when the true worshipers will worship the FATHER in spirit and truth, for the FATHER is seeking such people to worship HIM. God is spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth.
I have food to eat that you do not know about. My food is to do the will of HIM Who sent ME and to accomplish His work. Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what HE sees the FATHER doing. For whatever the FATHER does, that the Son does likewise. For the FATHER loves the Son and shows HIM all that HE Himself is doing. And grate works that these will HE show HIM, so that you may marvel. For as the FATHER raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom HE will. For the FATHER judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the FATHER. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the FATHER Who sent HIM. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes HIM Who sent ME has eternal life. HE does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
Truly, truly I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the FATHER has life in Himself, so HE has granted the Son also to have life in Himself. And HE has given HIM authority to execute judgment, because HE is the Son of MAN.
Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgement. I can do nothing on My own. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will but the will of JIM Who sent ME. If I alone bear witness about Myself, My testimony is not true. There is another who bears witness about Me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about ME is true. You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the FATHER has given ME to accomplish, the very works that I AM doing, bear witness about ME that the FATHER has sent ME. And the FATHER Who sent ME has Himself borne witness about ME. His voice you have never heard, His form you have never seen, and you do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe the One Whom HE haas sent. You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that bear witness about ME, yet you refuse to come to ME that you may have life. I do not receive glory from people. But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. I have come in My FATHER's name, and you do not receive ME. if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you to the FATHER. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe ME for he wrote of ME. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on hHIM God the FATHER has set His seal." "This is the work of God, that you believe in HIM Whom HHE has sent."
Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my FATHER gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is HE Who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." I AM the bread of life whoever comes to ME shall not hunger, and whoever believes in ME shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen ME and yet do not believe. All that the FATHER gives ME will come to ME, and whoever comes to ME I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will but the will of HIM Who sent MEE. And this is the will of HIM Who sent ME, that I should lose nothing of all that HE has given ME, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My FATHER, that every one who looks on the Son and believes in HIM should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." I AM the bread that came down from heaven.
"Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to ME unless the FATHER Who sent ME draws him. and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from then FATHER comes to ME- not that anyone has seen the FATHER except HE Who is from God HHE has seen the FATHER. Truly, truly I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I AM the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I AM the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is My fresh." Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have not life in you. whoever feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. for My flesh is pure food, and My blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood abides in ME, and I in him. As the living FATHER sent ME, and I live because of the FATHER, so whoever feeds on ME, he also will live because of ME. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the brad the fathers ate, and died. whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.
"Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where HE was before? It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But thee are some of you who do not believe." "This is why I told you that no one can come to ME unless it is granted him by the FATHER." "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. The world cannot hate you, but it hates ME because I testify about it that its works are evil. You go up to the feast. I AM not going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."
"My teaching is not Mine, but HIS Who sent ME. IF anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I AM speaking on My own authority. The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory but the one who seeks the glory of HIM Who sent HIM is true, and in HHIM there is no falsehood. Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill ME?" "I did one work, and you all marvel at it. Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with ME because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
"You know ME, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of My own accord. HE Who sent ME is true, and HHIM you do not know. I know hHIM, for I come from HIM, and HHE sent ME." "I will be with you a little longer, and then I AM going to HIM Who sent ME. You will seek ME and you will not find ME. Where I AM you cannot come."
"If anyone thirsts, let him come to ME and drink. Whoever believes in ME, as the scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
"I AM the light of the world. Whoever follows ME will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.""Even if I do bear witness about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from anywhere ei AM going, but you do not know where I come from or where I AM going. You judge according to then flesh I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, My judgment is true, for it is not I alone Who judge, but I and the FATHER Who sent ME. In your law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. I AM the One Who bears witness about Myself, and the FATHER Who sent ME bears witness about ME." "You know neither ME nor my FATHER. If you knew ME, you would know my FATHER also." "I AM going away, and you will seek ME< and you will die in your sin. Where I AM going, you cannot come." "You are from below I AM from above. You are of this world I AM not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I AM HE you will die in your sins." "Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. I have much to say about you and much to judge, but HE Who sent ME is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from HIM." "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM HE, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the FATHER taught ME. And HE Who sent ME is with ME. HE has not left ME alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to HIM." "If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I now that you are offspring of Abraham yeet you seek to kill ME because My word finds no place in you. I speak of what I have seen with My FATHER, and you do what you have heard from your father." "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, but now you seek to kill ME, and Man Who has told you the truth that heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. You are doing the works your father did." "If God were your FATHER, you would love ME, for I came from God and I AM here. I came not My own accord, but HHE sent ME. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, her speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe ME. Which one of you convicts ME of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe ME? Whoever is of God hears the words of Good. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."
"Honor My FATHER, and you dishonor ME. Yet I do not seek My own glory there is One Who seeks it, and HHE is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death." "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. It is My FAHTER Who glorifies ME, of whom you say, 'HE is our God.' But you have not known HIM, I know HIM. If I were to say that I do not know HIM, I would be a liar like you, but I do know HIM and I keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad." "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
"It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of HIM Who sent ME while it is day night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I AM in the world, I AM the light of the world.
"For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind." "If you were blind, you would have no guilt but now that you say, 'We see,' your guilt remains. " "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, heh goes before them, and the sheep follow hi, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." "Truly, truly, I say to you I AM the door of the sheep. All who came before ME are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I AM the door. If anyone enters by ME, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and killed destroy. I Came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hire hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, seems the wold coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because thee is a hated hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I AM the good shepherd. I know My own and My own know ME. Just as the FATHER knows ME and I know the FATHER and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Other will be one flock, one shepherd. for this reason the FATHER loves ME, because I lay down My life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from EE, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My FATHER
