¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² The same came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know, that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith 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, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into 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 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it lifteth, and thou hearest the found thereof, but canst not tell, whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily I say to thee, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; yet ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how would ye believe, if I told you heavenly things? ¹³ For no one hath gone up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ That whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved thro' him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him, is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doth evil, hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that practiseth the truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, ye may be also. ⁴ And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. ⁵ Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus saith, I am the way; and the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father, but by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye have known him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip?

The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself; and the Father that dwelleth in me, he doth the works. ¹¹ Believe me, because I am in the Father, and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the sake of the works. ¹² Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works which I do, shall he do also; and greater than these shall he do, because I go to my Father. ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified thro' the Son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, ¹⁶ to remain with you for ever, Even the Spirit of truth, ¹⁷ whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye know him; for he remaineth with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; I come to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. ²⁰ At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) saith to him, Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, while I remained with you. But the Comforter, ²⁶ the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸ Ye heard me say to you, I go, and come again to you.

⁵ If any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. ⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
