John was not the Light, but he was sent to tell about the Light.

He came into the world. The world was made by Him, but it did not know Him.

He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him.

These children of God were not born of blood and of flesh and of man's desires, but they were born of God.

The Law was given through Moses, but loving-favor and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The much-loved Son is beside the Father. No man has ever seen God. But Christ has made God known to us.

John answered, "I baptize with water. But there is One standing among you Whom you do not know.

I did not know who He was, but I have come to baptize with water so the Jews might know about Him."

I did not know Him then. But God sent me to baptize with water. God said to me, ‘The Holy Spirit will come down and stay on Him. He is the One Who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

The head man tasted the water that had become wine. He did not know where it came from but the helpers who took it to him knew. He called the man who had just been married.

But Jesus did not trust them because He knew all men.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.

You heard the words that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before Him.'

He tells of what He has seen and heard. But no one believes what He says.

He who puts his trust in the Son has life that lasts forever. He who does not put his trust in the Son will not have life, but the anger of God is on him."

Jesus did not baptize anyone Himself but His followers did.

Right then the followers came back and were surprised and wondered about finding Him talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do You want?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"

They said to the woman, "Now we believe! It is no longer because of what you said about Jesus but we have heard Him ourselves. We know, for sure, that He is the Christ, the One Who saves men of this world from the punishment of their sins."

The Jews tried all the more to kill Him, not only because He had worked on the Day of Rest, but because He had also called God His Own Father. This made Him the same as God.

But you do not want to come to Me so you might have life.
