"How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?"

Jesus answered, “This is the work of God: that you believe [adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith] in the One whom He has sent.”

So they said to Him, “What sign (attesting miracle) will You do that we may see it and believe You? What [supernatural] work will You do [as proof]?

But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, -

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven?

It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

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.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.

But [still] there are some of you who do not believe and have faith.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.

So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

Simon Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You [alone] have the words of eternal life [you are our only hope].

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

Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is of God or whether I speak on My own accord and by My own authority.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

The crowd replied, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'

The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”

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

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray?

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself -- my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye -- ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

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.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

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.

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham;

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.

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

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?

The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right when we say You are a Samaritan and [that You] have a demon [and are under its power]?”

Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death."

The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?

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.

Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not even fifty years old, and You [claim to] have seen Abraham?”

Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.

While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'

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.

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."

They replied to the beggar, "You were born entirely in sins [i.e., you have been a sinner all your life], and you are [trying] to teach us?" Then they threw him out [of the synagogue. See verse 22].

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

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

Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and [in fact] He is the one who is talking with you.”

And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

And Jesus said,]] "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!"

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;

and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'

All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them.

I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

This commission have I received of my Father. There was again a division among the Jews, because of these sayings.

Jesus answered them, “I have told you so, yet you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name testify concerning Me [they are My credentials and the evidence declaring who I am].

But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:
