So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.

His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.

And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father: the one who says things against you is Moses, on whom you put your hopes.

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.

Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?
