Now Philip was from Bethsaida, Andrew's and Peter's home town. [Note: This town was on the northwest shore of Lake Galilee, a few miles from Capernaum].

After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

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 yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.’

“For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

"Come, see a man who told me everything I've ever done! Could he possibly be the Messiah?"

Say not ye, 'There are yet four months, and the harvest is coming?' Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and view the fields, because they are white for harvest.

Now many of the Samaritans of that town believed in Jesus because the woman had testified, "He told me everything I've ever done."

Under these porticos a large number of sick, blind, crippled and deformed people were placed {{A few ancient authorities add "to wait for the water [of the pool] to become choppy.

And a vast crowd continued to follow Him, for they pressed on to view the wonder-works which He performed for the sick people.

But as I told you, you’ve seen Me, and yet you do not believe.

For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

What then, if ye should view the Son of Man ascending where he was before? --

It's the Spirit who gives life; the flesh accomplishes nothing. The words that I've spoken to you are spirit and life.

His brethren, therefore, said unto him - Remove hence, and withdraw into Judaea, that, thy disciples also, may view thy works which thou art doing.

You men go [on] up to the festival, but I am not going up yet [Note: Although "yet" appears in only a few manuscripts, it seems to be the proper idea here], because my time has not yet come. [See verse 6].

he that speaks from himself, has a view to his own glory: but he that has a view to his glory that sent him, deserves credit, and is a stranger to all imposture.

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

I know him because I've come from him, and he sent me."

Jesus answered them, "Even though I'm testifying about myself, my testimony is valid because I know where I've come from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I come from or where I'm going.

Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would've known my Father, too." He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

“Who are You?” they questioned.

“Precisely what I’ve been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

"I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me because you've not received what I've told you.

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 God were your Father, you would've loved me, because I came from God and am here. I haven't come on my own accord, but he sent me.

Why don't you understand what I've said? It's because you can't listen to my words.

You’ve never known Him, but I know Him. If I were to say I don’t know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

Your forefather Abraham was glad that he could look forward to my day [i.e., by faith he anticipated the coming of the Messiah. See Heb. 11:13ff]. And he saw it [by faith] and was glad."

The Jews replied, “You aren’t 50 years old yet, and You’ve seen Abraham?”

He answered them, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?"

The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I've come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

Jesus replied to them, "I've shown you many good actions from my Father. For which of them are you going to stone me?"

Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look—the world has gone after Him!”

While you have the Light, believe and trust in the Light [have faith in it, hold on to it, rely on it], so that you may become sons of Light [being filled with Light as followers of God].”

Jesus said these things, and then He left and hid Himself from them.

I've come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won't remain in the darkness.

The one who rejects me and doesn't receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I've spoken will judge him on the last day,

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and told them, "Do you realize what I've done to you?

I've set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to you.

Believe me, I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me because of what I've been doing.

I've told you this now, before I leave, so that when I do leave, you will believe.

You are already clean because of what I've spoken to you.

I've told you this, so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.

I don't call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. But I've called you friends, because I've made known to you everything that I've heard from my Father.

But I've told you this, so that when the time comes you'll remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you this in the beginning, because I was still with you."

I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you'll have trouble, but be courageous I've overcome the world!"

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”

So Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I've seen the Lord!" She also told them what he had told her.

Upon saying this, Jesus breathed on the disciples and said to them, "[Be willing to] receive the Holy Spirit." [Note: This "breathing" served as a pledge of the Holy Spirit which actually came on these apostles a few weeks later. See Acts 1:5-8; 2:4].

So the other disciples kept telling him, "We've seen the Lord!" But he told them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I'll never believe!"

Jesus told him, "Is it because you've seen me that you have believed? How blessed are those who have never seen me and yet have believed!"

“Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them.

When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”

“Feed My lambs,” He told him.
