The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus.

One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,

He states what he has seen and what he heard, and yet no one accepts his statement.

Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John

And they said to the woman: "It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Savior of the world."

When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the Chief Priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;

He who believes in me--As Scripture says, Out of his heart shall flow rivers of 'Living Water.'"

Some of the people, when they heard these words, said:

"I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him."

But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death--a man who has told you the Truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.

In truth I tell you, if any one lays my Message to heart, he will never really die."

"Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon," the Jews replied. "Abraham died, and so did the Prophets; and yet you say 'If any one lays my Message to heart, he will never know death.'

And yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his Message to heart.

Since the world began, such a thing was never heard of as any one's giving sight to a person born blind.

Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked: "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

And, when Jesus heard it, he said: "This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honor of God, in order that the Son of God may be honored through it."

Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.

As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.

So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said: "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard my prayer;

This, indeed, was why the crowd met him--because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.

Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour--yet it was for this very reason that I came to this hour--

The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said: "An angel has been speaking to him."

If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,

It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

"Whoever loves me," Jesus answered, " will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.

You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

If you lay my commands to heart, you will remain in my love; just as I have laid the Father's commands to heart and remain in his love.

Remember what I said to you--'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have laid my Message to heart, they will lay yours to heart also.

I have revealed thee to those whom thou gavest me from the world; they were thy own, and thou gavest them to me; and they have laid thy Message to heart.

When Pilate heard what they said, he became still more alarmed;

Upon this the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: "It is the Master!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he fastened his coat round him (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the Sea.

The third time, Jesus said to him: "Simon, son of John, are you my friend?" Peter was hurt at his third question being 'Are you my friend?'; and exclaimed: "Master, you know everything! You can tell that I am your friend." "Feed my sheep," said Jesus.
