John testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He That cometh after me hath become before me, because He was before me;'"

because out of His fulness we all received, and grace for grace:

because the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

This is He of Whom I said, 'After me cometh a Man Who hath become before me, because He was before me.'

Jesus answered, and said to him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

But Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men,

And many more believed because of His word;

and they said to the woman, "Now we no longer believe because of your saying; for we ourselves have heard, and know that This is, in truth, the Savior of the world."

And, on this account, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the sabbath.

For this cause, therefore, the Jews were seeking the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the sabbath, but also called God His Father, making Himself equal with God.

and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

Marvel not at this; because there is an hour coming, in which all who are in their tombs shall hear His voice,

I can of Myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous; because I seek not My Own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me.

And ye have not His word abiding in you; because Whom He sent, Him ye believe not.

Ye search the Scriptures; because in them ye think ye have eternal life; and these are they that testify concerning Me;

And a great multitude was following Him, because they were beholding the signs which He was doing on the sick.

Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, ye seek Me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.

because I have come down from Heaven, not to do My Own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me.

Jesus answered, and said to them, "I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.

If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, are ye angry with Me, because I made a whole man well on the sabbath?

I know Him; because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him; and no one laid his hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come.

But this He spake concerning the Spirit, Whom those who believed on Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

A division, therefore, arose in the multitude because of Him.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I do testify concerning Myself, My testimony is true; because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I came, or whither I go.

But, even if I judge, My judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the Father Who sent Me.

These words He spake in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

The Jews, therefore, said, "Will He kill Himself?" because He said, "Whither I go, ye cannot come."

And He Who sent Me is with Me. He hath not left Me alone; because I am always doing the things that please Him."

Ye are of your father the Devil; and the desires of your father ye wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of it.

And, because I speak the truth, ye believe Me not.

He that is of God hears the words of God; on this account, ye hear them not, because ye are not of God."

Some of the Pharisees, therefore, said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

These things said his parents, because they were fearing the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that, if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

When he drives out all his own, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him; because they know his voice.

But a stranger they will in no wise follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers."

because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.

On this account My Father loveth Me, because I lay down My soul, that I may take it again.

There arose again a division among the Jews because of these words.

But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep.

The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we stone Thee not, but for blasphemy, and because, Thou, being a Man, makest Thyself God!"

say ye of Him Whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world;

but, if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, "Father, I thank Thee, because Thou didst hear Me.

because, on his account, many of the Jews were going away, and were believing on Jesus.

On this account also, the multitude met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

On this account they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

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

Yet, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on Him; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

for some thought, because Judas had the money-bag, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

In My Father's house are many abiding-places; otherwise, I would have told you; because I am going to prepare a place for you.

Believe Me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; or, else, believe Me because of the works themselves.

Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to the Father.

the Spirit of truth, Whom the world cannot receive, because it beholds Him not, neither knows Him: ye know Him, because He abideth with you, and will be in you.

Yet a little while, and the world beholds Me no more; but ye behold Me; because I live, ye shall live also.

But all these things will they do to you for My name's sake; because they know not Him Who sent Me.

and ye also testify, because ye are with Me from the beginning."

And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor Me.

But these things I have spoken to you, that, when their hour shall come, ye may remember them, that I told you. And these things I said not to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

But, because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

respecting sin, because they believe not on Me;

respecting righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye no longer behold Me;

and respecting judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

He will glorify Me; because He will take of Mine, and will declare it to you.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom Thou hast given Me; because they are Thine.

I have given them Thy word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

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.

The Jews, therefore, answered him, "We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself God's Son."
