john

chapter 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god and he was with god in the beginning through him all things were made without him nothing was made of what was was made in him was life and that life was the light of all humanity the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it there was a man sent from God whose name was John came as a witness to testify of that light so that because of him everyone could believe that he himself was not the light he came only as a witness of the light the true light that gives light to all was coming into the world he was in the world and although the world was made through him the world did not He recognized he came to his own, but his own did not yet receive him.

To all those who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to be children of God, children born not of natural descent nor of human decision nor of a husband's will but who was born of God the word became flesh and made his home among us we have seen his glory the glory of the only son who came from the father full of grace and truth John testified about him he cried out saying this is the I spoke of when I said that the one who He comes after me He has surpassed me because He was before me of His fullness We have all received grace in place of the grace already given Because the law was given through Moses Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ No one has ever seen to god, but the only son who is god and is in the closest relationship with the father has now made him known, this was john's testimony when the jewish leaders in jerusalem sent priests and levites to ask him who he was.

I did not stop confessing but he confessed freely I am not the messiah they asked him then who are you Elijah said I am not you the prophet answered no finally they said who are you give us an answer to take to those you sent us what do you say about yourself John responded in the words of the prophet isaiah i am the voice of one who cries in the desert straighten the way to the lord now the pharisees who had been sent asked him why then you baptize if you are not the messiah nor elias nor the prophet i baptize with water john responded but between you there is one that you do not know he is the one who comes after me whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie this everything happened in Bethany in On the other side of the Jordan where John was baptizing the next day, John saw Jesus coming towards him and He said: Look at the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

This is what I was referring to when I said that a man coming after me has surpassed me because he was before me I didn't know him myself but the reason I came baptizing with water was so that he could be revealed to Israel then John gave this testimony I saw the spirit descend from heaven like a dove and remain on him and I myself did not know him but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me that the man on whom you see the spirit descend and remain is the one who will baptize with the

holy

spirit I have seen it and I testify that this is from God. chosen the next day john was there again with two of his disciples when he saw jesus pass by he said look at the lamb of god when the two disciples heard him say this they followed jesus turning back Jesus saw them following and asked what do you want they said rabbi what does teacher mean where are you staying come he answered and you will see then they went and saw where he was staying and they spent that day with him it was about four in the afternoon andrew's brother simon peter was one of the two who heard what juan had said and who had followed The first thing Andrew did to Jesus was to look for his brother Simon and tell him we have found the Messiah, who is the Christ, and he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John. They will call you Cephas," which when translated is Peter. The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee looking for Philip. He said, "Follow me, Philip. Like Andrew and Peter, he was from the town of Bethsaid. Philip found Nathanael and told him, 'We have found the right one,' of whom Moses wrote in the law and of whom the prophets also wrote." nazareth the son of joseph nazareth something good can come out of there natanael asked come and see said philip when jesus saw natanael approaching he said of him here truly is an israelite in whom there is no deceit how do you know me natanael asked jesus answered I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you then Nathanael declared rabbi you are the son of God you are the king of Israel Jesus said do you believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree you will see greater things than that then he added very truly I tell you you will see heaven open and the angels of god ascending and descending upon the son of man john chapter 2 on the third day a wedding was celebrated in cana of galilee the mother of jesus was there and jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding when The wine ran out.

Jesus' mother told him they no longer have wine, woman, why are you involving me? Jesus responded, "My time has come. It has not yet come. His mother said to the servants, do what he tells them. Nearby, there were six stone jars from the which the Jews use for ceremonial washing, each with a capacity of 80 to 120 liters Jesus told the servants to fill the jars with water and they filled them to the brim then he told them now take some out and take it to the master of the banquet So they did and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had turned into wine.

He did not realize where it had come from although the servants who had drawn the water knew, so he called the groom aside and told him that everyone should bring the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have drunk too much, but until now you have saved the best, which Jesus did here in Canaa. from Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory and his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and his brothers and his disciples stayed there for a few days when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover.

Jesus went up to Jerusalem in the temple court he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves and others sitting at tables exchanging money so he made a whip with ropes and drove everyone out of the temple court, both sheep and cows, he scattered the coins of the temple. temple atrium. They exchanged money and overturned their tables to those who were selling doves. He said, "Get these out of here. Stop turning my father's house into a market." His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house. The Jews will consume me." So they replied, "What sign can you show us?" to prove your authority to do all this jesus responded to them destroy this temple and i will raise it again in three days they responded that it has taken 46 years to build this temple and you are going to raise it in three days but the temple he had talked about It was his body after he was raised from the dead his disciples remembered what he had said then they believed the scriptures and the words that Jesus had spoken now while he was in Jerusalem at the festival of the Passover many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in their name but jesus did not commend himself to them because he knew all people he did not need any testimony about humanity because he knew what was in each person john chapter 3 now there was a pharisee a man named nicodemus who was a member of the jewish ruling council came to jesus in the night and said rabbi we know that you are a teacher who has come from god because no one could perform the signs that you are doing if god were not with him jesus answered very sincerely i tell you no one can see the kingdom of god unless be born again as someone can be born when they are old Nicodemus asked surely they cannot enter their mother's womb a second time to be born Jesus answered very true I tell you no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the spirit flesh begets flesh but the spirit gives birth to the spirit you should not be surprised by saying that you must be born again the wind blows where it wants you hear it sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes so it is with all those born of the spirit as it can be this Nicodemus asked are you the teacher of Israel said Jesus and you don't really understand these things I tell you we speak of what we know and we testify of what we have seen but even so you do not accept our testimony I have spoken to you about earthly things and you do not believe How will you believe if I speak of heavenly things, no one has ever ascended to heaven except the one who came from heaven, the son of man, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the son of man must be lifted up so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in He because God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life because God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him.

He who believes in him is not condemned but he who does not believe is already condemned because they have not believed in the name of the only son of God this is the verdict the light has come into the world but people loved darkness instead of light because their works were evil, everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light because they fear that their works will be discovered, but he who lives in the truth comes to the light so that it can be clearly seen that what he has done has been Done before the eyes of God After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them and was baptized.

Now John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salem, because there was a lot of water and people came and were baptized. This was before Juan was imprisoned. An argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew. Regarding the matter of the ceremonial washing, they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one whom you testified, look, he is baptizing and everyone is going towards him. To this John, he replied, a person can receive only what he gives them from the heaven you yourselves can testify that I said I am not the messiah but I am sent before him the bride is the groom's the friend who attends to the groom waits and listens and is full of joy when he hears the voice of the groom that the joy is mine and now it is

it must become bigger I must be less he who comes from above is above all he who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks as one of the earth he who comes from heaven is above all He testifies to what he has seen and heard but no one accepts his testimony whoever has accepted it has certified that God is true because the one who God has sent speaks the words of God because God gives the spirit without limit the father loves the son and has placed everything in his hands he who believes in the son has eternal life but he who rejects the son will not see life because the wrath of God remains upon them John chapter 4 now Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples that John, although in reality it was not Jesus who baptized but his disciples, then he left Judea and returned once again to Galilee, now he had to pass through Samaria, so he arrived at a town in Samaria called Psychopath, near the a piece of land that Jacob had given him.

Given to his son Joseph Jacobs, there was a well there and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was around noon when a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her: Will you give me a drink? His disciples had gone to town to buy food. The Samaritan woman told him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan. How can you ask me for a drink? For Jews, do not associate with Samaritans. You would have asked him and he would have given you living water sir the woman said you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep from where you can draw this living water you are greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well and drank from it himself as well. that his children and his livestock Jesus answered, everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again, in fact the water that I give him will become a spring of water for them.

Let him jump to eternal life. The woman said to him, Lord, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water. He told her, go, call your husband and come back. I don't have a husband. She answered. Jesus told her, You are right when you say. You don't have a husband. The fact is that you have had five husbands and the man you now have is not your husband. What you just said is very true, sir, said the woman. I can see that you are a prophet that our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but You Jews affirm that the place where we should worship is in Jerusalem, woman Jesus responded, believe me, there is coming a time when you will not worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

You Samaritans worship what you do not know. We worship what we know. For salvation comes from the Jews but a time is coming and has already arrived when the true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and in truth but they are the kind of worshipers the father seeks god is spirit and his worshipers must worship in the spirit and in truth the woman said I know that the messiah called Christ is coming when he comes he will explain everything to us then Jesus declared I am the one who speaks to you I am the only one then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking to a woman but no one asked what you want or why you are talking to her Then leaving her jug ​​of water, the woman returned to the town and told the people, come see a man who told me everything I have done could be this the messiah.

They left the city and headed towards him.while his disciples urged him rabbi to eat something but he told them I have food to eat of which you know nothing so his disciples said to each other someone could have brought him food my food said Jesus must do the will of the one who sent me and to finish your work, don't you have a saying? There are still four months until the harvest. I tell you to open your eyes and look at the fields. They are ripe for the harvest. Even now the one who harvests receives a salary and reaps a harvest. eternal life so that the sower and the reaper can rejoice together that is why the saying one sows and another reaps is true I sent you to reap what you have not worked for because others have done the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of their many labors of the Samaritans of that town believed in him because of the testimony of the woman he told me everything he had done then when the Samaritans came to him they urged him to stay with them and he stayed two days and through his words many more became believers.

They told the woman we no longer believe just because of what you said now we have heard for ourselves and we know that this man really is the savior of the world after the two days he went to Galilee now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet did not He has honor in his own country when he arrived in Galilee the Galileans welcomed him they had seen everything he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover festival because they had also been there once again he visited Cana of Galilee where the water had gone in wine and there was a royal official whose son was lying sick in Capernaum when this man heard that Jesus had come to Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son who was close to death unless you see signs and wonders Jesus told him you will never believe the royal officer said sir come down before my son dies go Jesus answered your son will live the man took Jesus' word and left while he was still on the road his servants found him the news that His son was alive when he asked what time his son got better they told him yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him then the father realized that that was the exact time that Jesus had told him your son will live so he and His entire household believed that this was the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee John Chapter 5 Some time later Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.

Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool that In Aramaic it is called Bethesda and it is surrounded by five covered colonnades. A large number of invalids used to lie here. The blind man, the lame man, the paralyzed man who was there, had been an invalid for 38 years when Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there for a long time. This condition asked him, does he want to get better, sir, the invalid replied, I have no one to help me get into the pool. When the water is stirred, while I am trying to get in, someone else is going down in front of me.

Then Jesus told him, get up, take your stretcher and walk immediately. man was healed he took his mat and walked the day this happened was Saturday and so the Jewish leaders told the man that he had been healed it is Saturday the law forbids you to carry your mat but he responded the man who healed me told me take your stretcher and walk then they asked him who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk the man who was healed had no idea who he was but Jesus had slipped away among the crowd that was there later Jesus found him in the temple and told him look, you're okay again stop sinning or something worse could happen to you the man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had healed him, so because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to pursue him in his defense.

Jesus told them that my father is always at his work to this day. and I am also working that is why they tried harder to kill him not only was he breaking the Sabbath but he even called God his own father making himself equal to God Jesus gave them this answer very sincerely I tell you that the son can do nothing on his own he can only do what he sees his father doing because everything the father does the son also does because the father loves the son and shows him everything he does yes and will show him works even greater than these so that you will be surprised because just as the The father raises the dead and gives them life, so the son also gives life to those who want to give it to him.

Furthermore, the father does not judge anyone but has entrusted all judgment to the son so that everyone honors the son just as they honor the father. He who does not honor the son does not honor the father who truly sent him, I tell you that he who hears my word And believe that the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has passed from death to life. Very truly I tell you that a time is coming and has already arrived when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it will live. for as the father has life in himself, so he has granted the son also to have life in himself. and has given him authority to judge because he is the son of man, do not marvel at this because the time is coming when all those who are in their graves will hear his voice and those who have done good will emerge alive and those who have done evil they will rise to be condemned by myself I cannot do anything I judge only as I hear and my judgment is just because I do not seek to please myself but him who sent me if I bear witness of myself my testimony is not true there is another who testifies in my favor and I know that his testimony about me is true.

You have sent John and he has testified to the truth. It is not that I accept human testimony but I mention it to you so that you can be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light and you chose. for a time enjoy his light I have a heavier testimony than that of John for the works that the father has given me to finish the same works that I am doing testify that the father has sent me and the same father who sent me has testified about from me you have never heard his voice nor seen his form nor does his word dwell in you because you do not believe in the one he sent you study the scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life these are the same scriptures that testify of me however you They refuse to come to me to have life I do not accept the glory of human beings but I know them I know they do not have the love of God in their hearts I have come in the name of my father and you do not accept me but if another comes in his own name you will accept it as you can believe since you accept the glory of one another but you do not seek the glory that comes from the only god but you do not think I will accuse you before the father your accuser is Moses in whom you have placed your hopes if you believed Moses you would believe me because he wrote about me but if you don't believe what he wrote how are you going to believe what I say chapter of John 6 some time after this Jesus crossed to the other shore of the Sea of ​​Galilee which is the Sea of ​​Tiberias and a great multitude of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed when he healed those who were sick, then Jesus went up to the side of a mountain and sat down with his disciples.

The Jewish Passover festival was approaching when Jesus looked up and saw a great Crowd coming towards him said to Philip, where should we buy bread for these people to eat? He asked this just to prove it because he already had it, keep in mind what he was going to do. Philip replied that it would take more than half a year's salary to buy enough bread for each one to eat a bite. Another of his disciples, Andrew Simon, Peter's brother. He spoke up here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish but as far as they will go among so many Jesus said make the people sit down there was a lot of grass in that place and they sat down about five thousand men were there Jesus then took the loaves he gave He gave thanks and distributed to those who were sitting as much as they wanted.

He did the same with the fish. When everyone had eaten enough, he told his disciples to collect the pieces that were left over so that nothing would be wasted. Then they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves. that was left over from those they had eaten. After the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they began to say, surely this is the prophet who is to come into the world. Jesus, knowing that they were planning to come and make him king by force, retired again to a mountain alone. When the afternoon came, his disciples went down to the lake where they got into a boat and crossed the lake towards Capernaum.

It was already dark and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters became turbulent. When they had traveled about three or four miles they saw Jesus approaching the boat walking on the water and they were scared but he told them I'm not afraid so they wanted to put him in the boat and immediately the boat. They reached the shore where they were going. The next day the crowd that had remained on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples but that they had left alone then.

Some Tiberias boats landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and headed to capernaum in search of jesus, when they found him on the shore. On the other side of the lake they asked him, Rabbi, when you got here, Jesus answered, very true, I tell you that you are looking for me not because you saw the signs that I did but because you had the loaves and you were satisfied. It is not for food that you loot but for food that lasts eternal life. which the son of man will give you because on him god the father has put his seal of approval then they asked him what we must do to do the works that god requires jesus answered the work of god is this to believe in the one he has sent then he They asked what sign then will you give so that we can see it and believe you what will you do with our ancestors in the mansion in the desert as it is written he gave them bread from heaven to eat Jesus told them truly I tell you that it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven because the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world, Lord, they said, always give us this bread, then Jesus declares, I am the bread of life who Comes to me he will never go hungry and he who believes in me will never thirst but as I told you, you have seen me and even so do not believe that all those that the father gives me will come to me and whoever comes to me I will never drive away because I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of the one who sent me and this is the will. of the one who sent me that I will not lose any of all those whom he has given me but I will raise them up on the last day because my father's will is that everyone who looks at the son and believes in him may have eternal life and I will raise them up.

On the last day, the Jews there began to complain about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They said: "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know, how can he now say that I have come? come down from heaven stop murmuring among yourselves Jesus answered no one can come to me except the father who sent me bring them and I will raise them up on the last day it is written in the prophets everyone will be taught by god everyone who has heard the father and learned from him comes to me no one has seen the father except the one who belongs to god only he has seen the father of truth I tell you, he who believes has eternal life I am the bread of life your ancestors in the dominion in the desert however they died but here is the bread that comes down from heaven which anyone can eat and not die I am the living bread that came down from heaven whoever eats this bread will live forever this bread is my flesh that I will give for the life of the world then the Jews began to argue harshly among themselves how can this man give us his flesh to eat Jesus told them very truly I tell you that if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise them up on the last day because my flesh is true food. and my blood is true drink, he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in them just as the living father sent me and I live through the father so he who feeds on me will live through me this is the bread that came down from heaven your ancestors ate manna and died but he who feeds on this bread will live forever he said this while teaching in the synagogue of capernaum upon hearing it many of his disciples said this is a difficult teaching who can accept it conscious of that his disciples complained about this?

Jesus said to them: does this offend you? What if they come? the son of man ascends to where he was before the spirit gives life the flesh counts for nothing the words that I have spoken to you are full of the spirit and life however there are some of you who do not believe because Jesus had known him from the beginning which of them did not believe in who would betray him, he continued saying that is why I told them that no one can come to me unless the father has allowed him, from this moment many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed me.

He doesn't want to leave either, you too Jesus asked the twelve Simon Peter answered Lord to whom shall we go you have the words of eternal life we ​​have come to believe and know that you are the saint of God then Jesus answered have I did not choose you the twelve, but one of you is a devil, he was referring to Judas, Simon's sonIscariot, who although one of the twelve was going to betray him later, John chapter 7, after this Jesus walked through Galilee, did not want to walk there. Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him, but when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles approached, Jesus' brothers told him to leave Galilee and go to Judea so that your disciples there can see the works that you do, no one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret since you are doing these things show yourself to the world because not even his own brothers believed in him, that's why Jesus told them my time has not yet come for you at any moment the world will not hate you but I He hates because I testify that his works are evil.

You are going to the festival. I am not going to go to this festival because my time has not yet fully come. After having said this, he stayed in Galilee. However, after his brothers left for the festival, he did not go either. publicly but secretly now at the festival the Jewish leaders were looking for Jesus and asking where he was in the crowd there were widespread rumors about him some said he is a good man others answered no he deceives people but no one would say anything publicly about him . For fear of the leaders, it was not until the middle of the party that Jesus went up to the temple court and began to teach the Jews.

There they were amazed and asked how this man had acquired such knowledge without having been taught. Jesus responded that my teaching is not mine. It comes from the one who sent me. He who chooses to do the will of God will know if my teachings come from God or if I speak on my own. He who speaks on his own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a real man there is nothing false in him Moses has not given you the law but none of you keep the law why are you trying to kill me are you possessed by a demon the crowd responded who is trying to kill you Jesus told them that I did a miracle and you are all amazed Still because Moses gave you circumcision, although in reality it did not come from Moses but from the patriarchs, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath, now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath, then the law of Moses cannot be broken why?

Are you angry with me for healing a man's entire body on the Sabbath? stop judging by mere appearances but judge correctly at that moment some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask is not this the man they are trying to kill here he is speaking publicly and they are not really saying a word to him the authorities have come to the conclusion that he is the messiah but we know where this man is from when the messiah comes no one will know where he is from it is since then jesus continues teaching in the courts of the temple he shouted yes you know me and you know where I am from I am not here on my own authority But the one who sent me is true, you do not know him, but I know him because I am his and he sent me.

They tried to grab him but no one laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come. Still many in the crowd believed in him. They said that when the Messiah comes he will do more signs than these. man the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him Jesus said I am with you for a short time and then I go to the one who sent me, you will look for me but you will not find me and where I am you cannot come the Jews said to each other where this man intends to go we cannot find him he will go where our people live scattered among the Greeks and he will show the Greeks what he did I mean when he said you will look for me but you will not find me and where I am you cannot come on the last and greatest day of the feast Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, let whoever is thirsty come to me and drink, whoever believes in me, as the Scripture says, rivers will flow from within them. of living water.

By this he was referring to the spirit that those who believed in him would later receive, until that moment the spirit had not been given since Jesus had not yet been glorified in Hearing his words, some people surely said this man is the prophet, others They said that he is the messiah and others asked how the messiah of Galilee could come. Don't the Scriptures say that the Messiah will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived? So the people were divided because of Jesus, some wanted to arrest him but no one laid a hand on him.

Finally, the temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them why they did not bring him safely. No one ever spoke about the way this man The guards responded, do you mean that he has deceived you? The Pharisees also replied, If any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him, no, but this mob that knows nothing about the law, there is a curse on them, Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before. and who was one of them they asked him: Does our law condemn a man without first listening to him to find out what he has been doing?

They answered: Are you also from Galilee? Investigate and you will find that a prophet does not come out. from Galilee John chapter 8 then everyone went home but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives at dawn he appeared again in the courts of the temple where all the people gathered around him and the teachers of the law and the Pharisees sat down to teach them They brought a woman caught in adultery, they made her appear before the group and they told the teacher Jesus, this woman was caught in the act of adultery according to the law. Moses ordered us to stone those women.

Now what are you saying? They were using this question as a trap to have a basis to accuse him but Jesus leaned down and began to write on the ground with his finger, when they continued to question him he stood up and told them, whoever of you is without sin, be the first to shoot. a stone towards her again he crouched down and wrote on the ground at this those who heard began to leave one at a time the older ones first until only Jesus was left with the woman still standing there Jesus stood up and asked his wife where they are no one has condemned you no one lord she said then nor do I condemn you jesus declared go now and leave your life of sin when jesus spoke again to the people he said I am the light of the world he who follows me will never enter darkness but will have the light of life the pharisees challenged him here you present yourself as your own witness your testimony is not valid jesus responded even if I testify for myself my testimony is valid because I know where I come from and where I am from I am leaving but you have no idea where I come from or where I am going go.

You judge by human standards. I do not judge anyone, but if I judge, my decisions are true because I am not alone. I am with the father who sent me. In your own law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true I am one who testifies for myself my other witness is the father who sent me then they asked him where is your father do you not know me or my father Jesus answered if you knew me, you would know my father too he spoke these words while he was teaching in the courtyard of the temple near the place where the offerings were placed but no one caught him because his time had not yet come once again Jesus told them I am leaving and you will look for me and you will die in your sin where I'm going you can't come this made the Jews ask if he will kill himself that's why he says where I'm going you can't come but he continued you are from below I am from above you are from this world I am not from this world I told you that you would die in your sins if you do not believe that I am him in fact you will die in your sins who are you they asked you exactly since what have I been telling you at the beginning Jesus replied I have a lot to say in your judgment but the one who sent me is trustworthy and what I have heard from him I tell the world they did not understand that I was speaking to them about their father then Jesus said when you have lifted up the son of man then you will know that I am and that I do nothing on my own but speak only what I the father has taught me the one who sent me is with me he has not left me alone because I always do what I want he even as he spoke many believed in him the Jews who had believed him Jesus said if you keep my teachings you really are my disciples then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free they answered him we are descendants of abraham and I have never been a slave to anyone how can you say we will be free jesus answered very sincerely I tell you that everyone who sins is a slave to sin now a slave has no permanent place in the family but a son belongs to it forever so if the son sets you free you will be free in fact I know that you are descendants of Abraham but you are looking for a way to kill me because you have no place for my word I am telling you what I have seen in the presence from the father and you are doing what you have heard from your father abraham is our father they responded if you were children of abraham said jesus then you would do what abraham did so you are looking for a way to kill me a man who has told you the truth that i I heard from God Abraham did not do such things you are doing the works of your own father we are not illegitimate children they protested the only father we have is God himself Jesus told them if God were your father you would love me because I have come here from God I have not come for me Tell me God sent me why my language is not clear to you because you cannot hear what I say you belong to your father the devil and you want to fulfill your father's wishes he was a murderer from the beginning he does not hold on to the truth because there is no truth In him, when he lies, he speaks his native language because he is a liar and the father of lies, but because I tell the truth, they don't believe me.

Can any of you prove it? I am guilty of sin If I am telling the truth why don't you believe me Who belongs to God Listen to what God says The reason you don't listen is because you don't belong to God The Jews responded, Aren't we right in saying? You are a Samaritan and possessed by a demon. I am not possessed by a demon, said Jesus, but I honor my father and you dishonor me. I do not seek glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it and he is the judge of truth. I tell you, who obeys.

My word, he will never see death before this, they exclaimed, now we know that you are demon-possessed, Abraham died and so did the prophets, but you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death, you are greater than our father Abraham, he died. and the prophets did the same. who do you think you are? I know and I obey his word your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day he saw it and was glad that you are not 50 years old they told him and you have seen Abraham very truly I tell you Jesus answered before Abraham was born I am in this they collected stones to stone him but Jesus hid by sneaking away from the temple grounds John chapter 9 as he passed by he saw a man blind from birth his disciples asked him rabbi who sinned this man nor his parents who was born blind neither this man nor his parents sinned Jesus said but this happened so that the works of God may be manifested in him while it is day we must do the works of him who sent me the night is approaching in which no one can work while I am in the world I am the light of the world after saying this he spat in the He made some mud with his saliva and put it on the man's eyes.

Well, he told him to wash in the pool of siloam. This word means sent. So the man went and washed and returned home, seeing his neighbors and the people. Those who had seen him begging before asked, "Isn't this the same man who sat down to beg? Some said it was, others said it wasn't just him?" He looks like him, but he himself insisted that I am the man. How then did your eyes open? They Asked. He answered. The man they called Jesus made some clay and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash.

So I went and washed. Then I could see where this man is. They asked him, I don't know. He said that they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees. Now the day that Jesus had made the clay and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath, therefore the Pharisees also told him. I asked how I had received my sight, he put mud on my eyes, the man answered and I washed and now I see that some of the Pharisees said that this man is not of God because he does not keep the Sabbath, but others asked how can a sinner. performed such signs and they divided and then turned again towards the blind man, what have you to say about him?

It was your eyes, he opened the man answered that he is a prophet, they still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man's parents, is this your son, they asked, is this the one you say was born blind, how is it? that now he can see we know that he is our son the parents responded and we know that he was born blind but how can he see now or who opened his eyes we do not know ask him is of age he will speak for himself his parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders who They had already decided that anyone who recognized that Jesus was the messiah would be expelled from the synagogue, so his parents said he was of age.

Ask him a second time. They called the man who had been blind, give glory to God by telling the truth. They said, "We know that." This man is a sinner he answered if he is a sinner or not I don't know anything what I do know he was blind but now I see so they asked him what he did to youwhile the world rejoices you will be sad but your sorrow will turn into joy a woman who gives birth to a child is in pain because her time has come but when her baby is born she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child is born in the world so with you now is your time of pain but I will see you again and you will be happy and no one will take away your joy on that day you will no longer ask for anything I truly tell you my father will give you everything you ask for in me name until now you have not asked for anything in my name ask and you will receive and your joy will be

complete

although I have been speaking figuratively a time is coming when I will no longer use this type of language but will speak to you clearly about my father on that day you will ask him my name I am not saying that I will ask the father in your name no, the father himself loves you because you have loved me and I have believed that I come from God I come from the father and I entered the world now I am leaving the world and returning to the father then the disciples of jesus said now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech now we can see that you know all things and that you don't even need anyone to ask you questions this makes us believe that you came from god do you believe now that jesus answered that a time is coming and from Has it come when you will be scattered, each one to his own side?

At home you will leave me alone, but I am not alone because my father is with me. I have told you these things so that in me you can have peace in this world you will have problems but take heart I have overcome the world John chapter 17. After Jesus said this he looked towards heaven and prayed father the hour has come glorify your son so that your son glorify you because you gave him authority over all people to give eternal life to all those you have given him now this is eternal life that they know you the only true god and Jesus Christ whom you have sent I have brought you glory on earth at the end of the work that you gave me to do and now father glorify me in your presence with the glory that I had with you before the world I have revealed to you those whom you gave me from the world were yours you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word now they They know that everything you have given me comes from you because I gave them the words that you gave me and they accepted them they knew with certainty that I came from you and they believed that you sent me I pray for them I am not praying for the world but for those that you have given me because they are yours everything I have is yours and everything you have is mine and the glory has come to me through them I will no longer remain in the world but they remain in the world and I come to you

holy

I come to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word. and the world has hated them because they are not of the world any more than I am of the world my prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one they are not of the world just as I am not of it sanctify them by the truth Your word is true as you sent me into the world I have sent them into the world for them I sanctify myself so that they too may be truly sanctified my prayer is not only for them I also pray for those who will believe in me through their message may they all be one father just as you are in me and I in you that they also may be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me I have given them the glory that you gave me so that they may be one as we are one I in them and you in me so that they may be brought to complete unity then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them as you have loved me.

Father I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and see my glory the glory that you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world righteous father although the world does not know you I know you and they know that you have sent me I have made you known and I will continue to make you known so that the love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them John chapter 18 When he finished praying Jesus went out with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley to the other side. a garden and he and his disciples entered it.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place because Jesus had met there many times with his disciples, so Judas arrived at the garden leading a detachment of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and the Pharisees carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, came out and asked them who is the one you want, Jesus of Nazareth. They responded, "I am he," said Jesus, and Judas the traitor was there with them. When Jesus said, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground again. He asked them who is the one you want Jesus of Nazareth they said Jesus answered I told them it's him if they are looking for me then let these men go this happened so that the words he had said would be fulfilled I have not lost one of those who Then you gave me Simon Peter, who had a sword, pulled it out and wounded the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.

The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus ordered Peter: put away your sword. Shall I not drink the cup that the father has given me? Then the detachment of soldiers with their commander and the Jewish officers arrested Jesus, tied him up and took him first to Anas, who was the father. brother-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good for a man to die for the people. Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus because this disciple was known to the high priest. He went with Jesus to the courtyard of the high priest. priest, but Pedro had to wait outside the door.

The other known disciple of the high priest returned, spoke to the servant girl who was on duty there, and brought Peter. Do you want one of this man's disciples too? She asked Peter, he answered no, it was cold and the servants and officials were around the fire they had made to keep warm, Peter was also with them warming himself while the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and his teachings. I have spoken openly. to the world Jesus answered I always taught in the synagogues or in the temple where all the Jews gathered I did not say anything in secret why are you asking me ask those who heard me surely know what I said when Jesus said this one of the nearby officials slapped him in the face this is how you respond to the high priest he demanded if I said something wrong jesus responded testify what is wrong but if I told the truth why did you hit me then anas sent him bound to caiaphas the high priest meanwhile simon peter was still there warming up so they asked him: Do you want one of his disciples too?

He denied it saying that I am not one of the high priest's servants. A relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off challenged him, didn't he? We meet him in the garden again Peter denied him and at that moment he began to sing then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor it was already early in the morning and to avoid ceremonial impurity they did not enter the palace because They wanted to be able to eat the Passover so Pilate came out and asked them what charges they brought against this man if he were not a criminal they replied that we would not have handed him over to you Pilate said take him yourselves and judge him according to your own law but we have no right to execute to no one they objected this happened to fulfill what jesus had said about the type of death he was going to die pilate then returned inside the palace he called jesus and asked him are you the king of the jews is it your own idea jesus asked you or others told you about me I am a Jew Pilate responded your own people and the chief priests handed you over to me what have you done Jesus said that my kingdom is not of this world if it were my servants they would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders but now my kingdom is from another place you are a king then said Pilate Jesus responded you say that I am a king in fact the reason I was born and entered the world is to bear witness to the truth all those who are on the side of The truth is, listen to me, what is the truth?

Pilate replied. With this, he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, I don't find any basis to accuse him, but it is your custom that I release a prisoner to you at the time of Passover. Do you want me to release the king of the Jews? They shouted in response no, not him, give us Barabbas now Barabbas had participated in an uprising John chapter 19 then Pilate took Jesus and had him They scourged him, the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, they dressed him with a purple cloak and they approached him again and again saying greetings, king of the Jews, and once again they slapped him.

Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, look, I will bring him before you to let you know that I find no basis to accuse him when Jesus came out with the crown of thorns on the purple robe Pilate told them here is the man as soon as the chief priests and His officials saw him shouted crucify crucify but Pilate responded: take him and crucify him since for me I find no basis to accuse him the Jewish leaders insisted that we have a law and according to that law he must die because he claimed to be the son of god when Pilate heard This made him even more afraid and he returned inside the palace, where do you come from?

He asked Jesus but Jesus did not answer him. You refuse to talk to me. Pilate said, Don't you realize that I have the power to free you or to crucify you? Jesus replied you would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above, therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin of course Pilate tried to free Jesus but the Jewish leaders kept shouting if you let go This man, you are not a friend of Caesar, anyone who claims to be king opposes Caesar. When Pilate heard this, he brought out Jesus and sat in court in a place known as the cobblestone, which in Aramaic is Gabafer.

It was the day of preparation for the Passover. around noon, here is your king, Pilate said to the Jews, but they shouted, take him, take him, crucify him, I will crucify your king. Pilate asked we have no king but Caesar the chief priests answered finally Pilate handed him over to be crucified then the soldiers took charge of Jesus carrying his own cross he went out to the place of the skull which in Aramaic is called Golgotha ​​there they crucified him and with He had two others, one on each side and Jesus in the middle. Pilate had a sign prepared and fixed on the cross that said Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews.

Many of the Jews read this sign for the place where Jesus was crucified. It was near the city and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate not to write the king of the Jews, but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews. Pilate answered what I have written. I have written when. The soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shells, one for each, leaving the underwear. This garment was woven without seams in a single piece from top to bottom, let's not tear it, they said to each other, let's decide by lot who will understand that this happened. so that the scripture would be fulfilled that says that they divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my dress so this is what the soldiers did near the cross of Jesus his mother his mother's sister was standing Mary the wife of Clopas And Mary Magdalene, when Jesus saw his mother there and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, woman, here is your son and to the disciple, here is your mother.

From then on, this disciple took her home later, knowing that everything had already been finished and So that the scripture would be fulfilled Jesus said I am thirsty there was a jar of wine vinegar so they soaked a sponge in it they put the sponge on a stem of the hyssop plant and brought it to Jesus' lips when he had received the drink Jesus said that That was it. He bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Now it was the day of preparation and the next day was going to be a special Sabbath because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies to be left on the crosses during the Sabbath they requested.

Pilate to break his legs and take down the bodies, then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus and then those of the other, but when they reached Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did so. . He did not break his legs but rather one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear causing a sudden flow of blood and water. The man who saw him has given testimony and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth and testifies so that You can also believe these things happen so that the scripture is fulfilled one of his bones will not be broken and as another scripture says they will look at the one they have pierced later Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders with Pilate's permission he came and took the body he was accompanied by Nicodemus the man who had previously visited Jesus at night Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about 35 kilograms taking the body of Jesus The two of them wrapped it with the spices in strips of linen.

This was according to Jewish custom.burial place in the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid because it was the Jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was close they placed Jesus there John chapter 20 early on first day of the week while it was still dark mary magdalene went to the tomb and saw that they had removed the stone from the entrance so she came running to simon peter and the other disciple whom jesus loved and said that they had taken the lord out of the tomb we do not know where have they put him so Peter and the other disciples headed towards the tomb, both of them were running but the other.

The disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first, he bowed down and looked at the bandages that were there, but he did not enter. Then Simon Peter came after him and went straight to the tomb. He saw the bandages that were there and also the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head the cloth was still in its place separated from the linen finally the other disciple who had arrived first at the tomb also entered, he saw and believed that they still did not understand from the Scriptures that Jesus had to resurrect. from the dead then the disciples returned to where they were now mary was outside the tomb crying as she cried, she leaned down to look into the tomb and saw two angels dressed in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other. at the foot they asked her, woman, why are you crying, have they taken my lord? she said, and I don't know where they put him in this.

She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she didn't realize that it was Jesus. They asked her, woman, why are you crying, who are you looking for, thinking? who was the gardener she said sir if you have taken him tell me where you have put him and I will look for him said jesusmaría turned to him and shouted in Aramaic which means master jesus said don't grab me because I have not yet ascended to the father go with my brothers and tell them that I am promoting my father and your father to my god and your god Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news I have seen the Lord and she told them that she had told him these things on the afternoon of that first day of the week when The disciples were together with the doors closed for fear of the Jewish leaders.

Jesus came and stood among them and said peace to you. After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord and Jesus again. He said peace to you as the father had sent I send you and with that he breathed on them and said receive the holy spirit if you forgive someone's sins your sins are forgiven if you do not forgive them they are not forgiven now Thomas also known as Didymus one of the twelve was not with the disciples when Jesus came so the other disciples told him that we had seen the Lord but he told them unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands and put my finger where the nails were and put my hand in his side I won't believe A week later, his disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them, although the doors were closed.

Jesus came and stood among them and said peace be with you. Then he told Tomás. Put your finger here. Look at my hands. Extend your hand and put it. Come in at my side, stop doubting and believe, Thomas said to him, my lord and my god, then Jesus said to him, because you have seen me, you have believed blessed are those who have not seen, and yet they have believed. Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, who They are not recorded in this book but these are written so that you believe that Jesus is the messiah the son of God and that by believing you have life in his name John chapter 21 after Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the sea of ​​Galilee it happened like this way Simon Peter Thomas also known as Didymus Nathanael of Canaan Galilee the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples were together I'm going to fish Simon Peter told them and they said let's go with you so they went out and he got into the boat but that night they didn't catch anything early in In the morning Jesus stood on the shore but the disciples did not realize it was Jesus.

He called them friends. Do you have no fish? They did not answer him, he said, cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some. When they did so, they could not take out the net due to the large number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "He is the Lord," as soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "This is the Lord," he wrapped himself in his outer cloak because he had taken it off and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed him in the boat, towing the net full of fish, but they were not far from the shore, about a hundred meters when they landed.

He saw there a fire of coals with fish on top and some bread, Jesus told them to bring some of the fish they had just caught, then Simon Peter got back into the boat and dragged the net to the shore, it was full of fish great 153 but even with so many the net did not break Jesus told them come and have breakfast none of the disciples dared to ask him who you are they knew he was the Lord Jesus came he took the bread and gave it to them and he did the same with the fish this Now It was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after having risen from the dead, when they finished eating, Jesus said to Simon, Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?

Yes, Lord, he said, you know I love you, Jesus said. feed my lambs again Jesus said Simon, son of John, do you love me? He answered, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. Jesus said, take care of my sheep. The third time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him for the third time, "Do you love me?" do you love? He said Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you. Jesus said: Feed my sheep, truly I tell you when you were younger, you dressed yourself and went wherever you went, but when you are old.

You will stretch out your hands and another will clothe you and take you where you do not want to go. Jesus said this to indicate the type of death with which Peter would glorify God. Then he said, Follow me. Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. He was the one who had leaned against Jesus at dinner and had said, Lord, who is going to betray you? When Peter saw him, he asked him, Lord, what about him? Jesus answered, Yes, I want him to stay alive until I give you back. What is that?

You must follow me for that. A rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die but Jesus did not say that he would not die, he only said if I want him to stay alive until I return, what is it that for you this is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them We know that his testimony is true. Jesus also did many other things. If each of them were written, I suppose that not even the entire world would have room for the books that would be written.
