The Jewish leaders said, "This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"

Jesus answered him, "You're the teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this?

Truly, I tell you emphatically, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony.

You're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it, along with his sons and his flocks, are you?"

You don't know what you're worshiping. We Jews know what we're worshiping, because salvation comes from the Jews.

So his brothers told him, "You should leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples can see the actions that you're doing,

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

The crowd answered, "You're possessed by a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"

Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?

But this mob that does not know the Law they're under a curse!"

The Pharisees told him, "You're testifying about yourself. Your testimony isn't valid."

You're judging by human standards, but I'm not judging anyone.

I declare what I've seen in my Father's presence, and you're doing what you've heard from your father."

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

You’re doing what your father does.”

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

The Jews responded to Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You’re a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Then the Judeans responded, "Now we know you're possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, 'If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.'

They ridiculed him: “You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’ disciples.

Soon after this the Festival of the Re-dedication was held at Jerusalem.

So the Jewish leaders surrounded him and quizzed him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you're the Messiah, tell us so plainly."

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

“Rabbi,” the disciples told Him, “just now the Jews tried to stone You, and You’re going there again?”

You’re not considering that it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish.”

After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

“Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where You’re going. How can we know the way?”

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself 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.

“Ah!” His disciples said. “Now You’re speaking plainly and not using any figurative language.

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

Then He asked them again, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.

“I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”

The girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "You're not one of this man's disciples too, are you?" He replied, "I am not."

Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?"

More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.

So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”

From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
