"Who then are you?" they continued; "tell us, that we may have some answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

"Do you believe in me," asked Jesus, "because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You shall see greater things than those!

God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly."

In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the Dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen will live.

And will come out--those who have done good rising to Life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.

And, though it is those very Scriptures that bear testimony to me, you refuse to come to me to have life.

A great crowd of people, however, followed him, because they saw the signs of his mission in his work among those who were afflicted.

And then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people as much as they wanted.

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.

And his will is this--that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last Day.
