They answered him, We are children of Abraham, and were never in servitude to any one; how say you, You shall become free?

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

Ye do the works of your father." They say to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father??od."

"How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to my message.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

he that is of God, does therefore observe what God says: which you do not observe, because ye are not of God.

The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

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

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, "Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?"

So they began to say to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

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.

it was this made his parents say, "he is of age, ask him."

His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

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

And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.

Some Pharisees, who were with Jesus, heard [Him say] these things, and replied, "Are we blind, too?"

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

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I have say ye are gods?'

If those to whom God's message was addressed were called gods??nd the Scripture cannot be set aside??36 do you mean to say to me whom the Father has consecrated and made his messenger to the world, 'You are blasphemous,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

Many came to him and began to say, "John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"

So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."

Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.

She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.

'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'

They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: and Jesus wept.

Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days there.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.

And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.

So the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and began to say, "What are we to do? For this man is certainly performing many wonder-works.

Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

One of his disciples therefore, Judas son of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,

Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor [for he had never cared about them], but because he was a thief; and since he had the money box [serving as treasurer for the twelve disciples], he used to pilfer what was put into it.

And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

Philip comes and says to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip say to Jesus.

verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;

"Now my soul is in turmoil, and what should I say "Father, save me from this hour'? No! It was for this very reason that I came to this hour.

[Rather, I will say,] ‘Father, glorify (honor, extol) Your name!’” Then a voice came from heaven saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

so that the passage of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, where he says, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

So they could not believe; for Isaiah says again,

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

because I haven't spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself commanded me what to say and how to speak.

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and he says to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me.

Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.

ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says. "He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.

From now on I am telling you [what will happen] before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may believe that I am He [who I say I am—the Christ, the Anointed, the Messiah].

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'

so Simon Peter beckoneth unto the same, and saith unto him - Say, Who is it? concerning whom he speaketh.

But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it?

And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly.

for some of them were thinking, as Judas had the purse, that Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after.

Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?

Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.

Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

You believe, don't you, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I don't speak on my own. It is the Father who dwells in me and who carries out his work.

Believe me," he said to them all, "when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.

Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

I will not abandon you [Note: The Greek says, "leave you orphans"]; I will come [back] to you.

Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?

The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The words that you're hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.

You heard me say to you, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
