In heaven's eternal bliss The loveliest strain is this...
Let earth and sea, and sky From depth to height reply...
Open now Thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there.
Abide with me, 'tis eventide! The day is past and gone.
The shadows of the evening fall; the night is coming on!
Within my heart a welcome guest, Within my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold 'tis eventide!
May Your angel guards defend us, Slumber sweet Your mercy send us.
Holy dreams and hopes attend us All through the night.
Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die.
May we in Your mighty keeping All peaceful lie.
When the trumpet call shall wake us, Then, O Lord, do not forsake us.
But to reign in glory take us With You on high.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comfort flee.
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day.
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see.
O thou, who changest not, abide with me!
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...
Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world...
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world...
but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light...
A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him.
He must become greater; I must become less.
The one who comes from above is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard.
The man who has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea...
Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?"
...you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again...
...but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.
The water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up...
Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.
I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming.
Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."
Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.
Could this be the Christ?
He said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about.
Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.
And because of his words many more became believers.
Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders...
The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live."
The man took Jesus at his word and departed.
The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.
Your son will live.
Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews.
I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred.
Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."
At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.
The man went away & told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.
For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him.
I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself...
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does.
Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these.
...the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son.
He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
The dead will hear the voice of the Son of God & those who hear will live.
He has granted the Son to have life in himself.
And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
...a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice.
If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.
You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light...
...the Father has sent me.
And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.
You have never heard his voice nor seen his form...
...nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.
Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.
The Jewish Passover Feast was near.
Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?
Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish...
Jesus said, "Have the people sit down."
There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down...
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed...
Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.
Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.
A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.
They saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water...
But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid."
Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Sir,
He who comes to me will never go hungry...
...and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
...whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
I have come down from heaven not to do my will...
I am the bread that came down from heaven.
Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.'
Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.
I am the bread of life.
Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven.
If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?
What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!
You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.
Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!
For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me...
Some said, "He is a good man."
My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
Has not Moses given you the law?
Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?
Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.
I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true.
When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?
I am with you for only 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.
Surely this man is the Prophet.
He is the Christ.
Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
No one ever spoke the way this man does,
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
If any one of you is without sin...
...let him be the first to throw a stone at her.
Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?
Then neither do I condemn you,
Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness...
I am the light of the world.
You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.
I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father...
You do not know me or my Father,
If you knew me, you would know my Father also.
I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin.
Where I go, you cannot come.
You are from below; I am from above.
You are of this world; I am not of this world.
They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.
I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him.
If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
I have not come on my own; but he sent me.
Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!
If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
He who belongs to God hears what God says.
The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.
I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.
I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself...
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.
Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
...this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
Night is coming, when no one can work.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva...
...made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.
So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?
How then were your eyes opened?" they demanded.
The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes.
So I went and washed, and then I could see.
How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?
The man replied, "He is a prophet."
One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!
We know that God does not listen to sinners
He listens to the godly man who does his will.
Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
Do you believe in the Son of Man?
You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.
Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.
The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep.
I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
...no one can snatch them out of my hand.
I and the Father are one.
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him...
Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does.
