Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must all be born from above.'

Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

He must become more important while I become less important."

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."

God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

So then they said to him, "What must we do to accomplish the deeds God requires?"

We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.

I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.

If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me, and where I am, my servant will be too. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

Then the crowd responded, "We have heard from the law that the Christ will remain forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

(For they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.)
