“Our father is Abraham!” they replied.

“If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

You’re doing what your father does.”

“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word.

Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

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?

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

Truly, truly I tell you, if anyone holds to what I say, he will never see death."

The Jews said to him, "Now we are sure you are mad. Abraham is dead, and so are all the prophets; and you declare, 'If anyone holds to what I say, he will never taste death'!

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

Jesus answered, "It was neither for his own sin nor for that of his parents, but to show what God could do in his case.

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.

but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself.

They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

For we be sure that God heareth not sinners: But if any man be a worshipper of God, and do what his will is, him heareth he.

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of what Jesus had been saying.

What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: -

If I am doing it, even though you do not believe me, believe what that work shows; so that you may understand, and understand more and more clearly, that the Father is in union with me, and I with the Father."

many therefore of the Jews who came to see Mary, and had seen what Jesus had done, believed on him.

But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.

upon this the chief priests and the Pharisees being assembled in council, said, what shall we do? for this man performs many miracles.

"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."

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

They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?

this he said, not out of any concern for the poor; but because being purse-bearer he used to pilfer what was in bank.

Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to him.

Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.

the Pharisees therefore said among themselves, don't you perceive we lose ground? you see what a world of followers attend him.

In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.

"Now is my soul troubled; what! shall I say, father, save me from this concern? but for this cause am I come, even for this very concern.

(this he said to signify what death he should die.)

So the people answered, "We have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; what do you mean by saying that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

Now for all the Signs he had performed before them, they did not believe in him ??38 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what they heard from us, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

so that the utterance of the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what they heard from us? And to whom has the mighty arm of the Lord been shown?"

therefore they could not believe, according to what Esaias said in another place, "he hath blinded their eyes,

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 have not spoken for my self; but the father who sent me, he commission'd me, what I should teach, and what I should speak.

and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.

then coming to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, Lord, what! would you wash my feet?

Jesus answered him, you don't at present comprehend what I am about: but hereafter you shall.

after he had washed their feet, he took his garment, and setting down again, he said to them, do you comprehend what I have been doing?

You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

"What I am saying does not refer to all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture, 'The one who eats my bread has turned against me.'

For the future I shall tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.

and after he had taken the sop, Satan entred into him. then said Jesus to him, what you do, do quickly.

but the company at table did not know what he meant by saying so.

for as Judas had the purse, some of them thought, that Jesus had ordered him to buy what was necessary against the feast: or give something to the poor.

"I will be with you, [my dear] children, for only a little while [longer]. You people will look for me, but I am now telling you what I told the Jewish authorities, 'You will not be able to go where I will be.'

"Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"

Jesus said to him, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and yet you do not understand me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. What do you mean by saying, 'Let us see the Father'?

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you I do not say on My own initiative or authority, but the Father, abiding continually in Me, does His works [His attesting miracles and acts of power].

Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me will also do what I'm doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I'm going to the Father.

The person who knows [what] my commandments [are] and obeys them is the one who [truly] loves me. And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.

Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

He who does not love me does not obey my word; and what you hear me say is not my word but the word of the Father who sent me.

this is what I have to tell you, for the little time that I am with you.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what the Father has ordered me to do. Get up and let us go away."

You are already clean because of what I've spoken to you.

if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and you shall obtain it.

you will be my friends, if you do what I have commanded you.

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

This is what I command you: Love one another.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what is its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, that the world hates you.

remember what I told you, "the servant is not greater than his master." if they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have been spies upon my discourse, they will be so upon yours.

And so is fulfilled what is said in their Law--'They hated me without cause.'

but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you.

are your minds so overwhelm'd with sorrow at what I told you?

But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

And when He does come, He will bring conviction to the world regarding sin [i.e., exposing it and producing guilt], regarding what is right [i.e., upholding godly standards], and regarding judgment [i.e., showing that sin condemns].

[It will be shown] what is right because I am going [back] to the Father and you will not see me anymore.

but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come.

He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.

Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.

Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

they said then, 'What is this he saith -- the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?"

His disciples said to him, what you say now is plain, and not enigmatical.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.

for every thing that is mine is thine, and what is thine is mine, and I am glorified by them.

As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true.

Father, as to what Thou hast given Me, I desire that they also maybe with Me, where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; because Thou didst love Me before the founding of a world.

so that what he said was accomplished, "of those which thou gavest me, have I lost none."

why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'

Jesus replied to him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what [is] wrong! But if [I have spoken] correctly, why do you strike me?"

Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, 'What accusation do ye bring against this man?'

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'

What hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not be delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Pilate saith to him, 'What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, 'I do find no fault in him;

When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever,

"What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus answered him, "You have no authority over me at all, except what was given to you from above. That's why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."

On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat upon the Bench at a place called 'The Stone Pavement'--in Hebrew 'Gabbatha.'
