and many more did believe because of his word,

and said to the woman -- 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'

and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself -- my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye -- ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

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

because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

'I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

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.

if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor 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 because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.

concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell 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?'

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

'I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,
