who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My zeal for Thy House will consume me."

"Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I will rebuild it."

"It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?"

If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?

He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;

but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages."

"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."

"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."

For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.

"In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--

"I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.

"You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me;

I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

"Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.

Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.

For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.

And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.

I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world."

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day.

As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.

Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.

If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me.

But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. "When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more miracles than this teacher has performed?"

You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."

The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

What do those words of his mean, 'You will look for me, but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come."

That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen."

So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.

and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free."

If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed.

but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."

But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.

I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.

He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."

"Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."

And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

"I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."

If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."

They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"

If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.

Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."

Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.

And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."

He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."

Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him without delay.

Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.

It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples--if you love one another."

"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.

"You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me."

And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.

And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.

"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth.

I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.

Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.

At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.

He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."

"If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring to your memories all that I have said to you.

"If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, ask what you will and it shall be done for you.

If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love.

Bear in mind what I said to you, 'A servant is not superior to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account of your bearing my name--because they do not know Him who sent me.

"When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me.

You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose he is offering service to God.

And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.

"Yet it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --

of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;

But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to you.

He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine and will make it known to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known to you.

In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, but your grief will be turned into gladness.

So you also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and your gladness no one will take away from you.

You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name He will give you.

"All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.

At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,

I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."

"Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him."

So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." "We will go too," said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; but they caught nothing that night.

"Throw the net in on the right hand side," He said, "and you will find fish." So they threw the net in, and now they could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish.

"In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you where you have no wish to go."
