God in John

The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:1

   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2. 1:2

   He was with God in the beginning.

3. 1:6

   There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

4. 1:12

   But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

5. 1:13

   children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

6. 1:14

   The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

7. 1:18

   No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

8. 1:29

   The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

9. 1:34

   I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

10. 1:36

    When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

11. 1:49

    “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

12. 1:51

    Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

13. 2:16

    To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

14. 3:2

    He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

15. 3:3

    Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

16. 3:5

    Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

17. 3:16

    For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

18. 3:17

    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

19. 3:18

    Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

20. 3:21

    But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”

21. 3:33

    Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

22. 3:34

    For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

23. 3:35

    The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

24. 3:36

    Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

25. 4:10

    Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

26. 4:21

    “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

27. 4:23

    But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

28. 5:17

    But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

29. 5:18

    Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

30. 5:19

    So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

31. 5:20

    The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

32. 5:21

    For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

33. 5:22

    Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

34. 5:23

    so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

35. 5:25

    Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

36. 5:26

    For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

37. 5:30

    I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

38. 5:36

    But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

39. 5:37

    And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

40. 5:42

    but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

41. 5:43

    I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.

42. 5:44

    How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

43. 5:45

    Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

44. 6:27

    Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

45. 6:28

    Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

46. 6:29

    Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

47. 6:32

    Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

48. 6:33

    For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

49. 6:37

    Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

50. 6:39

    And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

51. 6:44

    “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

52. 6:45

    It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—

53. 6:46

    not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

54. 6:57

    Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

55. 6:65

    Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

56. 6:69

    We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

57. 7:17

    If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.

58. 8:16

    But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

59. 8:18

    I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”

60. 8:19

    “Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”

61. 8:27

    They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.

62. 8:28

    So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

63. 8:29

    He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

64. 8:38

    I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

65. 8:40

    But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

66. 8:41

    You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”

67. 8:42

    Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

68. 8:47

    Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

69. 8:49

    “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

70. 8:54

    Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

71. 9:3

    Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

72. 9:16

    Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

73. 9:24

    So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

74. 9:29

    We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

75. 9:31

    We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

76. 9:33

    If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

77. 9:35

    When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

78. 10:15

    just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

79. 10:17

    The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

80. 10:18

    No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

81. 10:25

    “I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.

82. 10:29

    My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

83. 10:30

    I and the Father are one.”

84. 10:32

    But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”

85. 10:33

    “We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

86. 10:35

    If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

87. 10:36

    then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

88. 10:37

    If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.

89. 10:38

    But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”

90. 11:4

    When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

91. 11:22

    But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

92. 11:27

    “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

93. 11:40

    Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

94. 11:41

    So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

95. 11:52

    and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

96. 12:26

    If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

97. 12:27

    Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.

98. 12:28

    Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

99. 12:43

    For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

100. 12:49

     I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

101. 12:50

     And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

102. 13:1

     It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the very end.

103. 13:3

     Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.

104. 13:31

     When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

105. 13:32

     If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.

106. 14:1

     “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.

107. 14:2

     In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

108. 14:6

     Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

109. 14:7

     If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

110. 14:8

     Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”

111. 14:9

     Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

112. 14:10

     Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.

113. 14:11

     Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

114. 14:12

     Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

115. 14:13

     And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

116. 14:16

     And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—

117. 14:20

     On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

118. 14:21

     Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

119. 14:23

     Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

120. 14:24

     Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.

121. 14:26

     But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

122. 14:28

     You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

123. 14:31

     But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.

124. 15:1

     “I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.

125. 15:8

     This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.

126. 15:9

     As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

127. 15:10

     If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

128. 15:15

     No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

129. 15:16

     You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

130. 15:23

     Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.

131. 15:24

     If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

132. 15:26

     When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

133. 16:2

     They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

134. 16:3

     They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

135. 16:10

     in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;

136. 16:15

     Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

137. 16:16

     In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”

138. 16:17

     Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

139. 16:23

     In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

140. 16:25

     I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

141. 16:26

     In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

142. 16:27

     For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

143. 16:28

     I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

144. 16:30

     Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”

145. 16:32

     “Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

146. 17:1

     When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

147. 17:3

     Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

148. 17:5

     And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

149. 17:11

     I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

150. 17:21

     that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

151. 17:24

     Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

152. 17:25

     Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

153. 18:11

     “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”

154. 19:7

     “We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

155. 20:17

     “Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

156. 20:21

     Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

157. 20:28

     Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”

158. 20:31

     But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

159. 21:19

     Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”
