He acknowledged??e did not deny it??ut acknowledged, "I am not the Christ."

I myself did not recognize him; I only came baptizing in water, in order that he might be openly shown to Israel."

And I did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting upon him, is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets??esus of Nazareth, Joseph's son."

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;

and did not need any one's testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

"Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can't be the Christ, can he?"

Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman when she declared, "He told me everything that I ever did."

When he reached Galilee, however, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they, too, had been at the feast.

But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that place.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

"In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread out of heaven;

"Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him.

After these things Jesus continued to travel about in Galilee, for he did not wish to go about in Judea, because the Jews kept trying to kill him.

For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

"Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"

Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.

The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."

They did not understand that he meant the Father,

"But now you are seeking to kill me?? man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.

Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

"Now we know that you have a demon," exclaimed the Jews. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say, 'If any man obeys my teaching he shall never taste death.'

The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,

"What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"

He answered. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.

"All that came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

Many who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true."

Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"

Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;

now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of the nation,

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.

With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.

Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue.

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

"If I had not done among them such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

"But I have told you these things, that when the time comes you may remember that I told you about them, myself. I did not, however, speak of these things at first, because I was with you.

When he had spoken these words, one of the police standing by gave him a blow with his hand, saying as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did not I myself see you with him in the garden."

Jesus answered, "Are you saying this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"

so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be"??hat the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what the soldiers did.

But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs.

Stooping down he glanced in and saw the linen wrapping lying on the ground; but he did not go in.

When she had said this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but did not know that it was Jesus.

But when day was dawning Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

Accordingly the report spread among the brothers that this disciple should not die; but Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said, "If I choose that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"

But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
