The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

Anyone who accepts his testimony can affirm that God is true.

But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven.

And many followed him. “John didn’t perform miraculous signs,” they remarked to one another, “but everything he said about this man has come true.”

Jesus, the True Vine

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.

When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

Pilate said, “So you are a king?” Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
