while the Law was given through Moses, grace and reality are ours through Jesus Christ.

"Then who are you?" they said; "tell us, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

For he whom God has sent utters the words of God ??God gives him the Spirit in no sparing measure;

the Father loves the Son and has given him control over everything.

and in so doing he arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar; it lay near the territory which Jacob had given to his son Joseph,

and a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink"

Jesus answered, "If you knew what is the free gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked him instead, and he would have given you 'living' water."

but anyone who drinks the water I shall give him will never thirst any more; the water I shall give him will turn into a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

"Ah, sir," said the woman, "give me this water, so that I need not thirst or come all this road to draw water."

Work for no perishing food, but for that lasting food which means eternal life; the Son of man will give you that, for the Father, God, has certified him."

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"Ah, sir," they said to him, "give us that bread always."

I am the living bread which has come down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and more, the bread I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

The Jews then wrangled with one another, saying, "How can he give us his flesh to eat?"

What gives life is the Spirit: flesh is of no avail at all. The words I have uttered to you are spirit and life.

Did not Moses give you the Law? ??and yet none of you honestly obeys the Law. Else, why do you want to kill me?"

Give over judging by appearances; be just."

So the man born blind was summoned a second time, and told, "Now give God the praise; this man, we know quite well, is only a sinner."

and I give them eternal life; they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

(The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that they were to be informed, if anyone found out where he was, so that they might arrest him.)

"Why was not this perfume sold for ten pounds, and the money given to the poor?"

Jesus answered, "The man I am going to give this piece of bread to, when I dip it in the dish." Then he took the piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;

some of them thought that as Judas kept the money-box, Jesus told him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.)

I give you a new command, to love one another ??as I have loved you, you are to love one another.

and I will ask the Father to give you another Helper to be with you for ever,

Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you; I give it not as the world gives its 'Peace!' Let not your hearts be disquieted or timid.

And on that day you will not ask me any questions. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you ask the Father, he will give you in my name;

since thou hast granted him power over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given to him.

I have made thy Name known to the men whom thou hast given to me from the world (thine they were, and thou gavest them to me), and they have held to thy word.

They know now that whatever thou hast given me comes from thee,

for I have given them the words thou gavest me, and they have received them; they are now sure that I came from thee and believe that thou didst send me.

I pray for them ??not for the world but for those whom thou hast given me do I pray; for they are thine

I am to be in the world no longer, but they are to be in the world; I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

When I was with them, I kept them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me; I guarded them, and not one of them perished ??only the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

Yea, I have given them the glory thou gavest me, that they may be one as we are one ??23 I in them and thou in me ??that they may be made perfectly one, so that the world may recognize that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

Father, it is my will that these, thy gift to me, may be beside me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me, because thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

(this was to fulfil his own word: 'I did not lose a single one of those whom thou didst give me').
