because while the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus the Messiah.

Philip found Nathaniel and told him, "We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

Everything the Father gives me will come to me, and I'll never turn away the one who comes to me.

I'm the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he'll live forever. And the bread I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I'll raise him to life on the last day,

If anyone wants to do his will, he'll know whether this teaching is from God or whether I'm speaking on my own.

Moses gave you the Law, didn't he? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

Then Jesus said, "I'll be with you only a little while longer, and then I'm going back to the one who sent me.

You'll look for me but won't find me. And where I am, you cannot come."

What does this statement mean that he said, "You'll look for me but won't find me,' and, "Where I am, you cannot come'?"

But this mob that does not know the Law they're under a curse!"

"Surely our Law does not condemn a person without first hearing from him and finding out what he is doing, does it?"

Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. What do you say?"

In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two people is valid.

Later on, he told them again, "I'm going away, and you'll look for me, but you will die in your sin. You cannot come where I'm going."

That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, for unless you believe that I AM, you'll die in your sins."

You belong to your father the Devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood for truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

They'll never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they don't recognize the voice of strangers."

I'm the gate. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved. He'll come in and go out and find pasture.

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it back again.

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

I give them eternal life, they'll never be lost, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

Jesus replied to them, "Is it not written in your Law, "I said, "You are gods"'?

Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Jesus answered him, "You don't realize now what I'm doing, but later on you'll understand."

"Lord, why can't I follow you now?" Peter asked him. "I would lay down my life for you!"

Jesus answered him, "Would you lay down your life for me? I tell you emphatically, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times."

And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

At that time, you'll know that I am in my Father, that you are in me, and that I am in you.

"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and you'll receive it.

If you keep my commandments, you'll abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

But this happened so that what has been written in their Law might be fulfilled: "They hated me for no reason.'

You'll be thrown out of the synagogues. Yes, a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he's serving God.

They'll do this because they haven't known the Father or me.

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."

Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he'll guide you into all truth. He won't speak on his own accord, but he'll speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you'll cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You'll be deeply distressed, but your pain will turn into joy.

Now you are having pain. But I'll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from 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!"

First they brought him to Annas, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

Pilate told them, "You take him and try him according to your Law."

The Jewish leaders answered Pilate, "We have a law, and according to that Law he must die because he made himself out to be the Son of God."

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!"

Simon Peter told them, "I'm going fishing." They all told him, "We'll go with you, too." So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.

He told them, "Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catch some." So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.
