887 J O H N 3:3 
(which means Christ). 42 He brought him to
Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are
Simon the son of John. You shall be called
Cephas” (which means Peter1).
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee.
He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of
Andrew and Peter. 45Philip found Nathanael
and said to him, “We have found him of
whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets
wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good
come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him,
“Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an
Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”
48Nathanael said to him, “How do you know
me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called
you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw
you.” 49Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you
are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you,
‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe?
You will see greater things than these.” 51And
he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,2 you
will see heaven opened, and the angels of God
ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
The Wedding at Cana
2 On the third day there was a wedding at
Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus
was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3When the wine ran out,
the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no
wine.” 4And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what
does this have to do with me? My hour has not
yet come.” 5His mother said to the servants, “Do
whatever he tells you.” 6Now there were six stone water jars there
for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.3 7Jesus said to the
servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they
filled them up to the brim. 8And he said to
them, “Now draw some out and take it to the
master of the feast.” So they took it. 9When
the master of the feast tasted the water now
become wine, and did not know where it came
from (though the servants who had drawn
the water knew), the master of the feast called
the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone
serves the good wine first, and when people
have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you
have kept the good wine until now.” 11This, the
first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee,
and manifested his glory. And his disciples
believed in him. 12After this he went down to Capernaum,
with his mother and his brothers4 and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
13The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and
Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple he
found those who were selling oxen and sheep
and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting
there. 15And making a whip of cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, with the sheep
and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the
money-changers and overturned their tables.
16And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take
these things away; do not make my Father’s
house a house of trade.” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, a
“Zeal for your house
will consume me.” 18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do
you show us for doing these things?” 19 Jesus
answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.” 20The Jews then
said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this
temple,5 and will you raise it up in three days?” 21But he was speaking about the temple of his
body. 22When therefore he was raised from the
dead, his disciples remembered that he had
said this, and they believed the Scripture and
the word that Jesus had spoken.
Jesus Knows What Is in Man
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the
Passover Feast, many believed in his name
when they saw the signs that he was doing.
24But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself
to them, because he knew all people 25 and
needed no one to bear witness about man, for
he himself knew what was in man.
You Must Be Born Again
3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2This man came to Jesus6 by night and said to
him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher
come from God, for no one can do these signs
that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus
answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
JOHN
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was
God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All
things were made through him, and without
him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life,1 and the life was the light of
men. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it. 6There was a man sent from God, whose
name was John. 7He came as a witness, to bear
witness about the light, that all might believe
through him. 8He was not the light, but came
to bear witness about the light. 9The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was in
the world, and the world was made through
him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He
came to his own,2 and his own people3 did not
receive him. 12But to all who did receive him,
who believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God, 13who were born, not
of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the
will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt
among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as
of the only Son4 from the Father, full of grace
and truth. 15(John bore witness about him, and
cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who
comes after me ranks before me, because he was
before me.’ ”) 16For from his fullness we have all
received, grace upon grace.5 17For the law was
given through Moses; grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen
God; the only God,6 who is at the Father’s side,7
he has made him known.
The Testimony of John the Baptist
19And this is the testimony of John, when the
Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem
to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed,
and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the
Christ.” 21And they asked him, “What then?
Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you
the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 So
they said to him, “Who are you? We need to
give an answer to those who sent us. What do
you say about yourself?” 23He said, “I am a the
voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make
straight8 the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet
Isaiah said.” 24 (Now they had been sent from the
Pharisees.) 25They asked him, “Then why are
you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ,
nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26John answered
them, “I baptize with water, but among you
stands one you do not know, 27 even he who
comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I
am not worthy to untie.” 28These things took
place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John
was baptizing.
Behold, the Lamb of God
29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward
him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who
takes away the sin of the world! 30This is he
of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who
ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31I
myself did not know him, but for this purpose
I came baptizing with water, that he might be
revealed to Israel.” 32And John bore witness:
“I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a
dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did
not know him, but he who sent me to baptize
with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see
the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who
baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34And I have
seen and have borne witness that this is the
Son9 of God.”
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
35The next day again John was standing
with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked
at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold,
the Lamb of God!” 37The two disciples heard
him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus
turned and saw them following and said to
them, “What are you seeking?” And they said
to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where
are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come
and you will see.” So they came and saw where
he was staying, and they stayed with him that
day, for it was about the tenth hour.10 40One of
the two who heard John speak and followed
Jesus11 was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41He first found his own brother Simon and
said to him, “We have found the Messiah”
