But Jesus on his part would not trust himself to them, for he knew them all,

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

Are you a greater man than our forefather Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it himself, with his sons and his flocks?"

for he himself declared that a prophet is not honored in his own country.

On account of this the Jews were all the more eager to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but actually called God his Father, thus putting himself on an equality with God.

For the Father loves the Son and lets him see everything that he himself is doing, and he will let him see greater deeds than these, to make you wonder.

So Jesus, seeing that they meant to come and carry him off to make him king, retired again to the hill by himself.

Whoever speaks simply for himself is looking for honor for himself, but whoever looks for honor for the person who has sent him shows his sincerity; there is no dishonesty about him.

So the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself, and is that why he says, 'You cannot come where I am going'?"

You are doing as your father does." They said to him, "We are not illegitimate children. We have one father, God himself."

Some said, "Yes! It is he!" Others said, "No! but he looks like him." He himself said, "I am the man."

But we do not know how it is that he can see now, or who has made him able to see. You must ask him. He is grown up. Let him tell you about himself."

for I have not spoken on my account, but the Father who has sent me has himself given me orders what to tell and what to say.

and God will through himself honor him; he will honor him immediately.

Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? I am not the source of the words that I say to you, but the Father who is united with me is doing these things himself.

but when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth, for he will not speak for himself but will tell what he hears, and will announce to you the things that are to come.

for the Father loves you himself because you love me and believe that I have come from the Father.

As it was cold the slaves and attendants had made a charcoal fire, and stood about it warming themselves. And Peter also was among them, standing and warming himself.

But Simon Peter still stood warming himself. So they said to him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "No, I am not."

The Jews answered, "We have a law, and by our law he deserves death, for declaring himself to be a son of God."

This made Pilate try to find a way to let him go, but the Jews shouted, "If you let him go, you are no friend of the emperor's! Anyone who calls himself a king utters treason against the emperor!"

and he went out carrying the cross by himself to a spot called the Place of the Skull, or in Hebrew, Golgotha.

After this Jesus again showed himself to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he did so in this way.

This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
