13. The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
15. And 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.
16. And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade."
17. His disciples remembered that it was written, "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."
20. The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"
21. But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
22. When 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.

21. Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
24. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25. The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things."
26. Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."

1. At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, "Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."
3. He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4. how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5. Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6. I tell you, something greater than the temple is here.
7. And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
8. For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

36. For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken."

13. Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted.
14. As many were astonished at you - his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind -
15. so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths because of him, for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand.

1. Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2. For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
3. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
5. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
6. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned - every one - to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
8. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
9. And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

37. On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’"
39. Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40. When they heard these words, some of the people said, "This really is the Prophet."
41. Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Is the Christ to come from Galilee?
42. Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
43. So there was a division among the people over him.
44. Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

51. And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

12. They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more.

1. 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.
3. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
4. And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come."
5. His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
6. Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.
8. And he said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it.
9. When 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."
11. This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12. After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

1. After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
2. And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.
3. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.
4. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
5. Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"
6. He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
7. Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little."
8. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9. "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?"
10. Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
11. Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.
12. And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost."
13. So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.
14. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!"
15. Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

30. So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?
31. Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’"
32. Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
34. They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."

25. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
26. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
27. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

1. Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2. This man came to Jesus 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 one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
9. Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?"
10. Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?
11. Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony.
12. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13. No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15. that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

22. Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.
23. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’
24. And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.
25. You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’
26. God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness."

16. When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17. got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing.
19. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened.
20. But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."
21. Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

1. When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

15. and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

14. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

6. and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel."

9. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

6. and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

10. and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."
