All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but that I [give new life and] raise it up at the last day.

Now the Jews murmured and found fault with Him because He said, “I am the Bread that came down out of heaven.”

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who believes [in Me as Savior—whoever adheres to, trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me—already] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it].

But here is bread that comes down out of heaven, and no one who eats it will ever die.

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it], and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.

Now many of his disciples, on hearing it, said, "This is hard to take in! Who can listen to talk like this?"

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

After this Jesus resided in Galilee: for he would not be in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. now the

Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do.

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

For even his brothers had no belief in him.

As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come."

Now the Jews were looking for him at the festival and asking where he was,

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn’t been trained?”

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

"You are possessed by a demon," replied the crowd; "no one wants to kill you."

For this reason Moses has given you [God’s law regarding] circumcision (not that it originated with Moses, but with the patriarchs) and you circumcise a man [even] on the Sabbath.

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

The guards replied, “Never [at any time] has a man talked the way this Man talks!”

No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?

But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.

[Now] Nicodemus (being a leading Pharisee, and the one who went to talk to Jesus one night), said to them,

Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

Search and see, that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And every man went to his own house.

Now early in the morning he came again to the temple [courts]. And all the people were coming, and he sat down [and] began to teach them.

Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in [their] midst,

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.

Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

now it is written in your law, that the testimony of two men is valid.

Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.

Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

Then they said to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, What at the beginning, and what I tell you [now].

They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free?'

Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham's offspring:

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

You do the deeds of your father." They said to him, "We are no bastards: we have one father, even God."

"If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me.

Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

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?

"I am not possessed by a demon," Jesus answered, "but I am showing reverence for my Father; and yet you have no reverence for me.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if anyone keeps My word [by living in accordance with My message] he will indeed never, ever see and experience death.”

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is [worth] nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

and said to him, "[Now] go and wash in the pool of Siloam (which means "sent"). So, the man left and washed [in the pool], and [when he] returned, [he was] able to see.

So the neighbors, and those who used to know him as a beggar, said, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”

Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he .

His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

So the Pharisees asked him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He smeared mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.”

thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them.

So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
