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

The Word Made Flesh

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

For He whom God sent speaks the words of God; for He does not give the Spirit sparingly.

The Samaritans

Now from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”

Many more believed because of His word;

Jesus *said to him, “Go; your son is alive.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went home.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Also you do not have His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

Words to the People

Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled.

Words to the Jews

So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.”

Words to the Disciples

These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.

People’s Division over Jesus

Some of the people therefore, after they heard these words, were saying, “This truly is the Prophet.”

These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple area; and no one arrested Him, because His hour had not yet come.

The Truth Will Set You Free

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples;

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot listen to My word.

The one who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone follows My word, he will never see death.”

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets as well; and yet You say, ‘If anyone follows My word, he will never taste of death.’

and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you; but I do know Him, and I follow His word.

Dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.
