he came to what was his own, yet his own folk did not welcome him.

They asked him, "Then what are you? Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.

"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?"

The two disciples heard what he said and went after Jesus.

Now Jesus turned, and when he observed them coming after him, he asked them, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated, 'teacher'), "where are you staying?"

One of the two men who heard what John said and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Peter.

"Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time has not come yet."

Then the Jews accosted him with the words, "What sign of authority have you to show us, for acting in this way?"

and when the disciples recalled what he had said, after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the scripture and the word of Jesus.

and required no evidence from anyone about human nature; well did he know what was in human nature.

What is born of the flesh is flesh: what is born of the Spirit is Spirit.

Truly, truly I tell you, we are speaking of what we do understand, we testify to what we have actually seen ??and yet you refuse our testimony.

You can bear me out, that I said, 'I am not the Christ'; what I said was, 'I have been sent in advance of him.'

He] is testifying to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony.

The Samaritan woman said, "What? You are a Jew, and you ask me for a drink ??me, a Samaritan!" (Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered, "If you knew what is the free gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked him instead, and he would have given you 'living' water."

You are worshipping something you do not know; we are worshipping what we do know ??for salvation comes from the Jews.

At this point his disciples came up; they were surprised that he was talking to a woman, but none of them said, "What is it?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

and far more of them believed on account of what he said himself.

As they told the woman, "We no longer believe on account of what you said; we have heard for ourselves, we know that he is really the Saviour of the world."

Jesus told him, "Go yourself, your son is alive." The man believed what Jesus told him, and started on his journey.

So he asked them at what hour he had begun to improve; they told him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

For an angel used to descend from time to time into the bath, and disturb the water; whereupon the first person who stepped in after the water was disturbed was restored to health, no matter what disease he had been afflicted with].

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

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

(He said this to test Philip, for he knew what he was going to do himself.)

"There is a servant here, with five barley-cakes and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

Then they asked him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?"

"Well then," they said, "what is the Sign you perform, that we may see it and believe you? What work have you to show?

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he formerly existed?

What gives life is the Spirit: flesh is of no avail at all. The words I have uttered to you are spirit and life.

so his brothers said to him, "Leave this and go across into Judaea, to let your disciples witness what you can do;

What does he mean by saying, 'You will search for me but you will not find me, and where I go, you cannot 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?"

And on hearing what he said, they went away one by one, beginning with the older men, till Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

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."

He who sent me is at my side; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him."

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

"We are Abraham's offspring," they retorted, "we have never been slaves to anybody. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be free'?"

I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you act as you have learned from your father."

Why do you not understand my speech? Because you are unable to listen to what I am saying.

You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires; he was a slayer of men from the very beginning, and he has no place in the truth because there is no truth in him: when he tells a lie, he is expressing his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

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'!

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."

"What did he do to you?" they repeated; "How did he open your eyes?"

Jesus told them this allegory, but they did not understand what he was saying to them;

Now a number of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and who witnessed what he had done, believed in him.

But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done;

They looked out for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they said to one another, "What do you think? Do you think he will not come up to the festival?"

(Not that he cared for the poor; he said this because he was a thief, and because he carried the money-box and pilfered what was put in.)

Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, let her keep what she has for the day of my burial.

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:

So the people answered, "We have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; what do you mean by saying that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

Now for all the Signs he had performed before them, they did not believe in him ??38 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what they heard from us, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

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.

Jesus answered him, "You do not understand just now what I am doing, but you will understand it later on."

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe, he lay down again. "Do you know," he said to them, "what I have been doing to you?

You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right: that is what I am.

for I have been setting you an example, that you should do what I have done to you.

and when he took the bread, at that moment Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Be quick with what you have to do."

some of them thought that as Judas kept the money-box, Jesus told him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.)

Jesus said to him, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and yet you do not understand me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. What do you mean by saying, 'Let us see the Father'?

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.

You are my friends ??if you do what I command you;

I call you servants no longer, because a servant does not know what his master is doing: I call you friends, because I have imparted to you all that I have learned from my Father.

This is what I command you, to love one another.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what it owned; it is because you do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you from the world, that the world hates you.

Remember what I told you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they hold to my word, they will hold to yours.

I have told you all this, so that when the time for it arrives, you may remember what I said to you. I did not tell you about this at the beginning, because I was with you then;

No, your heart is full of sorrow at what I have told you.

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.

He will glorify me, for he will draw upon what is mine and disclose it to you.

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

So some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by telling us, 'In a little while, you will behold me no longer; then, after a little, you shall see me'? and, 'I go to the Father'?"

They said, "What is the meaning of 'In a little'? We do not understand what he is saying."

Jesus knew they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are discussing together, why I said, 'In a little while, you will not see me: then, after a little, you shall see me'?

Why ask me? Ask my hearers what I have said to them; they know what I said."

"If I have said anything wrong," replied Jesus, "prove it; if I said what was true, why strike me?"

so Pilate came outside to them and asked, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

"Am I a Jew?" said Pilate. "Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

"Truth!" said Pilate, "what is truth!" With these words he went outside to the Jews again and told them, "I cannot find anything wrong about him.

Pilate had written an inscription to be put on the cross; what he wrote was, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Pilate replied, "What I have written, I have written."

they said to themselves, "Don't let us tear it. Let us draw lots to see who gets it" (that the scripture might be fulfilled, they distributed my clothes among them, and drew lots for my raiment). This was what the soldiers did.

Away went Mary of Magdala to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord!" ??telling them what he had said to her.

So, on catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "And what about him, Lord?"

Jesus replied, "If I choose that he should survive till I come back, what does that matter to you? Follow me yourself."

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?"
