ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'

Then said the Jews between themselves, "Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go among the gentiles, which are scattered all abroad, and teach the gentiles?

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?

But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

they answered him, are you also of Galilee? search the scriptures, and you will not find that a prophet did ever arise out of Galilee.

Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?

And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

The Pharisees then said to Him, "You are testifying to yourself; your testimony is not true."

You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

Even if I should judge, my decision is fair, because I am not alone, but there are two of us, I and the Father who has sent me.

and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

Jesus spoke these words in the treasury [area of the Temple]. And no one arrested Him because His time had not yet come [i.e., to be turned over to the authorities and killed].

therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

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.

So they began to say to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "{What} I have been saying to you [from] the beginning.

"Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."

And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

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?

If the son therefore shall make you free, then are ye free indeed.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

I am telling you what I have seen in my Father's presence, and you are practicing what you have learned from your father."

They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus said to them, "If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

your actions are like your father. at this they reply'd, we are no bastards; we have but one father, even God.

{Why} do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.

He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

The Jews answered, and said to him, are we not in the right to say, that you are a Samaritan, and are really mad?

Jesus answered: "I am not under the power of a demon; on the other hand, I am honoring my Father, but you are dishonoring me.

upon this said the Jews to him, now we plainly perceive you are mad. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and yet you say, if a man observes your doctrine, he shall never die.

are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? the prophets likewise are dead: pray, what do you then pretend to be?

"You are not acquainted with him; I know him. Were I to say, 'I do not know him,' I should be like you, a liar. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.

then said the Jews to him, you are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

So, they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself [or "was hidden," suggesting a miraculous departure] and left the Temple [area].

They said unto him, "How are thine eyes opened then?"

his parents answered, that this is our son, and that he was born blind: we are very certain.

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.

He answered them - I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?

And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

We are sure that God spake with Moses. This fellow we know not from whence he is."

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

“You were born entirely in sin,” they replied, “and are you trying to teach us?” Then they threw him out.

Jesus answered him, "You have seen Him; you are talking to Him right now!"

Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge it, so that those who are blind may see and so that those who see may become blind."

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

We are not also blind? Jesus said to them If ye were blind, ye had not sinned: and now ye say, That we see; therefore your sin remains.

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.

All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them :

"He is only a hired servant, and the sheep are no care to him.

I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,

(as the father and I are known to one another:) and I lay down my life for them.

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

No one has taken it from me, but I am giving it of my own accord. I have power to give it, and I have power to take it back again. These are the orders I have received from my Father."

Many of them said, "He is under the power of a demon and is going crazy. Why are you listening to Him?"

Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

Jesus was walking in the Temple [area] in "Solomon's Portico" [Note: This was a large covered area, with rows of columns, on the outside of the Temple enclosure].

the Jews came about him, and said, how long will you keep us in suspense? if you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.

Jesus answered them, "I have already told you so, but you do not believe me. The works which I am doing on my Father's authority are my credentials,

but, as I said before, you do not believe; because ye are not of my sheep.

The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.

What my Father has given me [i.e., my sheep] are greater than everything [else], and no one is able to steal them from the Father's hand.

I and my father are one.

Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. Which of these works are you stoning Me for?”

“We aren’t stoning You for a good work,” the Jews answered, “but for blasphemy, because You—being a man—make Yourself God.”

Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, "I said ye are Gods?"

If men to whom God's message came are called gods -- and the Scriptures cannot be made null and void --

do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?

If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.

But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."

And many resorted unto him, and said, "John did no miracle: But all things that John spake of this man are true."

upon which his disciples said, master, it is not long since the Jews attempted to stone you; and are you for going thither again?

Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in the day? he that travels by day does not stumble, because he has the light of this world to see by.

“Yes, Lord,” she told Him, “I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do since this man does many signs?

If we let him alone as we are doing, every one will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our City and our Nationality."

but one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest at that time, said to them, ye don't know what you are about.

And you are not taking into consideration that it would be profitable to you for one man to die for the people, so that the entire nation would not be destroyed."

and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

So they were looking for Jesus as they stood in the temple [area], and saying among themselves, “What do you think? Will He not come to the feast at all?”

The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him."

Jesus said to them, "You will have the light only a little while longer. Go on while you still have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for those who go about in the dark do not know where they are going.

are relocated after vs 50] With these words Jesus went away and hid from them.

And I know that [obeying] His commandments [leads to] never ending life. So, the things which I say are what the Father has told me [to say]."

And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them.

He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

for he knew who would betray him; therefore, said he, you are not every one of you clean.

When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and reclined, again said he unto them - Are ye taking note, what I have done unto you?

you call me master, and lord: and you are in the right; for so I am.

Well, if I have washed your feet, I who am your Lord and Teacher, you are bound to wash one another's feet;

if ye comprehend these things, happy are ye if ye put them in practice.

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you are doing, do quickly!"
