9 The true ^plight, which gives light ^qto everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,¹ and ^rhis own people² did not ^sreceive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, ^twho believed ^uin his name, he gave the right to become ^vchildren of God, 13 who were ^wborn, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

16 “For God so loved the world,^{1 w}that he gave his only ^xSon, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not ^ysend his Son into the world ^zto condemn the world, but ^ain order that the world might be saved through him. 18 ^bWhoever believes in him is not condemned, but ^cwhoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed ^din the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the ^elight has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the ^flight and does not come to the light, ^glest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ^h“I am the ⁱlight of the world. Whoever follows me will not ^jwalk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You are ^kbearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.” 14 Jesus answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for ^lI know where I came from and ^mwhere I am going, but ⁿyou do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge ^oaccording to the flesh; ^pI judge no one. 16 Yet even if I do judge, ^qmy judgment is true, for it is ^rnot I alone who judge, but I and the Father¹ who sent me. 17 ^sIn your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. 18 I am the one who ^tbears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me ^ubears witness about me.” 19 They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me ^vnor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” 20 These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one ^warrested him, because ^xhis hour had not yet come.

21 So he said to them ^yagain, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews said, ^z“Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 He said to them, “You are from below; I am ^afrom above. You are ^bof this world; I am ^cnot of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you ^dbelieve that I am he you will die in your sins.” 25 So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge, but he who sent me is ^etrue, and ^fI declare to the world what I have heard from him.” 27 They ^gdid not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said to them, “When you have ^hlifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that ⁱI do nothing on my own authority, but speak ^jjust as the Father taught me. 29 And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” 30 As he was saying these things, ^kmany believed in him.
