So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?”

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”

So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from.”

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

The Jews then said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?

What is this statement that He said, ‘You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”

Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “This certainly is the Prophet.”

Others were saying, “This is the Christ.” Still others were saying, “Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He?

But this crowd which does not know the Law is accursed.”

“Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”

Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?”

But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.”

So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;

As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?”

Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the one.”

He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

They said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

So they *said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

For this reason his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”

The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out.

He answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

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

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”

The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

Then after this He *said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”

Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?”

Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.”

Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”

Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”

For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.

Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

So Simon Peter *gestured to him, and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”
