"Then who are you?" they said; "tell us, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you ever believe what I say?"

Yet here he is, opening his lips in public, and they say nothing to him! Can the authorities have really discovered that he is the Christ?

he who believes in me ??out of his body, as scripture says, streams of living water will flow"

Does not scripture say it is from the offspring of David, from David's village of Bethlehem, that the Christ is to come?"

"But surely our Law does not condemn the accused before hearing what he has to say and ascertaining his offence?"

Now Moses has commanded us in the Law to stone such creatures; but what do you say?"

So the Jews said, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I go, you cannot come'?"

I have a great deal to say about you and many a judgment to pass upon you; but he who sent me is true, and so I tell the world what I have learned from him."

So Jesus addressed the Jews who had believed him, saying, "If you abide by what I say, you are really disciples of mine:

Truly, truly I tell you, if anyone holds to what I say, he will never see death."

The Jews said to him, "Now we are sure you are mad. Abraham is dead, and so are all the prophets; and you declare, 'If anyone holds to what I say, he will never taste death'!

Jesus replied, "Were I to glorify myself, my glory would be nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me; you say 'He is our God,'

but you do not understand him. I know him. Were I to say, 'I do not know him,' I would be a liar like yourselves; but I do know him and I hold to his word.

So they asked the blind man once more, "What have you to say about him, for opening your eyes?" The man replied, "I say he is a prophet."

(He did not say this simply of his own accord; he was high priest that year, and his words were a prophecy that Jesus was to die for the nation,

My soul is now disquieted. What am I to say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? Nay, it is something else that has brought me to this hour:

I will say, 'Father, glorify thy name.'" Then came a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."

for I have not spoken of my own accord ??the Father who sent me, he it was who ordered me what to say and what to speak.

When I say 'you,' I do not mean you all; I know the men of my choice, and I made my choice that this scripture might be fulfilled, he who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.

He who does not love me does not obey my word; and what you hear me say is not my word but the word of the Father who sent me.

I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it just now.

However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of his own accord, he will say whatever he is told, and he will disclose to you what is to come.

All that the Father has is mine; that is why I say, 'he will draw upon what is mine and disclose it to you.'

On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you I will ask the Father on your behalf;

And another scripture also says, They shall look on him whom they have impaled.

This started the report among the brotherhood that the said disciple was not to die. Jesus, however, did not say he was not to die; what he said was, "If I choose that he should survive till I come back, what does that matter to you?"
