He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."

This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'

I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."

"Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.

"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.

"Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come."

There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.

He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.

And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked.

For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned.

"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."

"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."

But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."

"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"

Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."

"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life.

"In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--

and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.

I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world."

Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.

So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.

For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.

They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"

"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.

I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world."

So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."

And we have come to believe and know that *you* are indeed the Holy One of God."

"My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any time is suitable.

As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come."

Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come.

You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."

What do those words of his mean, 'You will look for me, but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him come to me and drink.

Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so, for is the Christ to come from Galilee?

Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?"

"Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin."

These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.

Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come."

The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"

"Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."

"If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me.

This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others.

Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."

All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.

and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.

"Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,

though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.

After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."

Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;

If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."

They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"

The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.

His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.

I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.

And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,

Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.

"If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin.

"When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me.

"Yet it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to you.

A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child being born into the world.

I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

"Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

"So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."

Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced.

"Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.

"If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."

Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?"
