Then the Jews addressed him and said, "What sign have you to show us, for acting in this way?"

So afterward when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the passage of Scripture and what Jesus had said.

and had no need of anybody's evidence about men, for he knew well what was in their hearts.

I tell you, we know what we are talking about and we have seen the things we testify to, yet you all reject our testimony.

It is to what he has seen and heard that he gives testimony, and yet no one accepts his testimony.

Jesus answered, "If you knew what God has to give, and who it is that said to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

"You are right when you say you have no husband, for you have had five husbands and the man you are now living with is not your husband. What you say is true."

You worship something you know nothing about; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

Just then his disciples came back, and they were surprised to find him talking with a woman, yet no one of them asked him what he wanted or why he was talking with her.

And a great many more believed because of what he said,

Jesus said to him, "You can go home. Your son is going to live." The man believed what Jesus said to him and went home.

So he asked them at what time he had begun to get better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

I cannot do anything of my own accord. I pass judgment just as I am told to do, and my judgment is just, for I am not seeking to do what I please, but what pleases him who has sent me.

But if you refuse to believe what he wrote, how are you ever to believe what I say?"

because they could see the signs he showed in what he did for the sick.

Now he said this to test him, for he knew what he meant to do.

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what is that among so many people?"

Then they said to him, "What must we do to carry out God's work?"

Then they said to him, "Then what sign do you show for us to see and so come to believe you? What work are you doing?

for I have come down from heaven not to do what I please but what pleases him who has sent me.

Then what if you see the Son of Man go up where he was before?

The Spirit is what gives life; flesh is of no use at all. The things that I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

That was what he told them, and he stayed on in Galilee.

What does he mean by saying 'You will look for me and you will not find me, and you will not be able to go where I shall be'?"

Others said, "This is the Christ!" But they rejoined, "What! Is the Christ to come from Galilee?

"Does our Law condemn the accused without first hearing what he has to say, and finding out what he has done?"

That is why I said to you that you would die in the midst of your sins, for unless you believe that I am what I say, you will die in the midst of your sins."

So Jesus said, "When you lift the Son of Man up in the air, then you will know that I am what I say, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but speak as the Father has instructed me.

And he who has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him."

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide by what I teach, you are really disciples of mine,

It is what I have seen in the presence of my Father that I tell, and it is what you have heard from your father that you do."

They answered, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, then do what Abraham did.

Why is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

The Jews said to him, "Now we are sure that you are possessed! Abraham is dead and so are the prophets, and yet you say, 'If anyone observes my teaching, he will never know what death is!'

Are you a greater man than our forefather Abraham? Yet he is dead and the prophets are dead. What do you claim to be?"

Jesus answered, "It was neither for his own sin nor for that of his parents, but to let what God can do be illustrated in his case.

So they asked the blind man again, "What have you to say about him, because he has made you able to see?" He said, "He is a prophet!"

They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he make you able to see?"

This was the figure Jesus used in speaking to them, but they did not understand what he meant by it.

What my Father has intrusted to me is of more importance than everything else, and no one can tear anything out of the Father's hands.

So it came about that many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and saw what Jesus did, came to believe in him,

but some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what he had done.

Then the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and they said, "What are we to do about the fact that this man is showing so many signs?

So they were looking for Jesus there, and asking one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Do you think he will not come to the festival at all?"

But he did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief and when he had charge of the purse he used to take what was put in it.

Now my heart is troubled; what am I to say? Father, save me from this trial! And yet it was for this very purpose that I have come to this trial.

for I have not spoken on my account, but the Father who has sent me has himself given me orders what to tell and what to say.

Jesus answered, "You cannot understand now what I am doing, but you will learn by and by."

When he had washed their feet and put on his clothes and taken his place, he said to them again, "Do you understand what I have been doing to you?

You call me Teacher and Master, and you are right, for that is what I am.

For I have set you an example, in order that you may do what I have done to you.

From now on I will tell you things before they happen, so that when they do happen you may believe that I am what I say.

But no one else at the table knew what he meant by telling him this,

for some of them thought that as Judas had the purse Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the festival," or to have him give something to the poor.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.

You are my friends if you do what I command you to do.

I do not call you slaves any longer, for a slave does not know what his master is doing, but now I call you friends, for I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.

"What I command you to do is to love one another.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what was its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have selected you from the world, that the world hates you.

Remember what I said to you: No slave is greater than his master. If they have persecuted me they will persecute you too. If they have observed my teaching, they will observe yours too.

but when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth, for he will not speak for himself but will tell what he hears, and will announce to you the things that are to come.

He will do honor to me, for he will take what is mine and communicate it to you.

All that the Father has belongs to me. That is why I said that he will take what is mine and communicate it to you.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean when he tells us, 'In a little while you will not see me any longer, and a little while after, you will see me again,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

So they kept saying "What does he mean by 'In a little while'? We do not know what he is talking about."

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.

As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true.

Why do you question me? Ask those who have heard me what it was that I said to them. They will know what I have said."

Jesus replied, "If I have said anything wrong, testify to it; but if what I have said is true, why do you strike me?"

So Pilate came outside to them, and said, "What charge do you make against this man?"

This was to fulfil what Jesus said when he declared how he was to die.

Pilate answered, "Do you take me for a Jew? Your own people and the high priests handed you over to me. What offense have you committed?"

Pilate said to him, "What is truth!" With these words he went outside again to the Jews, and said to them, "I can find nothing to charge him with.

Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!"

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it, to see who gets it." This was to fulfil what the Scripture says: "They divided my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots." This was what the soldiers did.

For this happened to fulfil what the Scripture says: "Not one of its bones will be broken."

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "But, Master, what about him?"

Jesus said to him, "If I wish him to wait till I come, what does it matter to you? You must follow me."

So the story spread among the brothers that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not tell him that he was not going to die; he said, "If I wish him to wait till I come, what does it matter to you?"
