This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘There is a man coming after me who is greater than I am, because he was living even before I was born.'

Jesus said to him, "Do you believe this just because I said I saw you under the fig tree? You will see much greater things than that!"

Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover festival. Many people believed in him because they saw the miraculous signs he did.

But Jesus did not trust them, because he knew how all people think.

People who believe in God's Son are not judged guilty. But people who do not believe are already judged, because they have not believed in God's only Son.

They are judged by this fact: The light has come into the world. But they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.

Everyone who does evil hates the light. They will not come to the light, because the light will show all the bad things they have done.

Just then Jesus' followers came back from town. They were surprised because they saw Jesus talking with a woman. But none of them asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

Many of the Samaritan people in that town believed in Jesus. They believed because of what the woman had told them about him. She had told them, "He told me everything I have ever done."

Many more people became believers because of the things he said.

The people said to the woman, "First we believed in Jesus because of what you told us. But now we believe because we heard him ourselves. We know now that he really is the one who will save the world."

And the Father has given him the power to judge all people because he is the Son of Man.

"I can do nothing alone. I judge only the way I am told. And my judgment is right, because I am not trying to please myself. I want only to please the one who sent me.

The Father's teaching does not live in you, because you don't believe in the one the Father sent.

If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

A great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he did in healing the sick.

He answered, "Why are you looking for me? Is it because you saw miraculous signs? The truth is, you are looking for me because you ate the bread and were satisfied.

Some Jews began to complain about Jesus because he said, "I am the bread that comes down from heaven."

"The Father sent me. He lives, and I live because of him. So everyone who eats me will live because of me.
