(John testified concerning him and exclaimed, “This was the one of whom I said, ‘The one coming after me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ”)

“Who are you, then? ” they asked. “We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself? ”

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet? ”

“This is the one I told you about: ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’

“I didn’t know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descending and resting on ​— ​he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

When Jesus turned and noticed them following him, he asked them, “What are you looking for? ”

They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying? ”

and he brought Simon to Jesus.

When Jesus saw him, he said, “You are Simon, son of John.[fn] You will be called Cephas” (which is translated “Peter”[fn]).

“Can anything good come out of Nazareth? ” Nathanael asked him.

“Come and see,” Philip answered.

“How do you know me? ” Nathanael asked.

“Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered.

Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”

He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace! ”[fn]

So the Jews replied to him, “What sign will you show us for doing these things? ”

So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

This man came to him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one could perform these signs you do unless God were with him.”

“Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.

“How can these things be? ” asked Nicodemus.

“If I have told you about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

So they came to John and told him, “Rabbi, the one you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptizing ​— ​and everyone is going to him.”

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would ask him, and he would give you living water.”

Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again.

“I don’t have a husband,” she answered.

“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’ ” Jesus said.

Just then his disciples arrived, and they were amazed that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do you want? ” or “Why are you talking with her? ”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah? ”

But he said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of what the woman said[fn] when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”

“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what[fn] Jesus said to him and departed.

He asked them at what time he got better. “Yesterday at one in the afternoon[fn] the fever left him,” they answered.

He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”

After this, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[fn] does, the Son likewise does these things.

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

There was plenty of grass in that place; so they sat down. The men numbered about five thousand.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here? ”

“What can we do to perform the works of God? ” they asked.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

Then they said, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
