He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us so that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, "What do you want?" So they said to him, "Rabbi" (which is translated Teacher), "where are you staying?"

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus.

So then the Jewish leaders responded, "What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?"

He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man.

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.

He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.

You people worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

and will come out -- the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.

But if you do not believe what Moses wrote, how will you believe my words?"

(Now Jesus said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.)

"Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?"

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

So they said to him, "Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

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

What did he mean by saying, 'You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

"Our law doesn't condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?"

In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?"

So they said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus replied, "What I have told you from the beginning.

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.

Why don't you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching.

You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him.

So again they asked the man who used to be blind, "What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?" "He is a prophet," the man replied.

Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?"

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

But some of them went to the Pharisees and reported to them what Jesus had done.

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the council together and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

Thus they were looking for Jesus, and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, "What do you think? That he won't come to the feast?"

(Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)

"Now my soul is greatly distressed. And what should I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? No, but for this very reason I have come to this hour.

(Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.)

For I have not spoken from my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.

Jesus replied, "You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things."

So when Jesus had washed their feet and put his outer clothing back on, he took his place at the table again and said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and do so correctly, for that is what I am.

"What I am saying does not refer to all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture, 'The one who eats my bread has turned against me.'

And after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are about to do, do quickly."

"Lord," Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here."

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

I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.

Remember what I told you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours too.

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come.

He will glorify me, because he will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What is the meaning of what he is saying, 'In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me,' and, 'because I am going to the Father'?"

So they kept on repeating, "What is the meaning of what he says, 'In a little while'? We do not understand what he is talking about."

Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said. They know what I said."

Jesus replied, "If I have said something wrong, confirm what is wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why strike me?"

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

(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind of death he was going to die.)

Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"

Pilate asked, "What is truth?" When he had said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders and announced, "I find no basis for an accusation against him.

When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever,

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

Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them what Jesus had said to her.

(Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, "Follow me."

So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"

Jesus replied, "If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!"

So the saying circulated among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, "If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours?"
