Jesus, however, would not trust himself to them; he knew all men,

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."

For if you believed Moses you would believe me, since it was of me that he wrote.

Philip answered, "Seven pounds' worth of bread would not be enough for them, for everybody to get even a morsel."

After that, many of his disciples drew back and would not associate with him any longer.

After this Jesus moved about in Galilee; he would not move in Judaea, because the Jews were trying to kill him.

"Where is your Father?" they said. Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me you would have known my Father also."

So I told you, you would die in your sins; for unless you believe who I am, you will die in your sins."

Said Jesus, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came here from God; I did not come of my own accord, I was sent by him.

Jesus replied, "Were I to glorify myself, my glory would be nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me; you say 'He is our God,'

but you do not understand him. I know him. Were I to say, 'I do not know him,' I would be a liar like yourselves; but I do know him and I hold to his word.

Now the Jews would not believe he had been born blind and had regained his sight, till they summoned the parents of the man who had regained his sight

He retorted, "I have told you that already, and you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it over again? Do you want to be disciples of his?"

They retorted, "And so you would teach us ??you, born in utter depravity!" Then they expelled him.

Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty; but, as it is, you claim to have sight ??and so your sin remains."

all who ever came before me have been thieves and robbers ??but the sheep would not listen to them.

Said Martha to Jesus, "Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died.

But when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she dropped at his feet, crying, "Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died."

Still, a number even of the authorities believed in him, though they would not confess it on account of the Pharisees, in case of being excommunicated;

In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, would I have told you that I was going to prepare a place for you?

If you knew me, you would know my Father too. You know him now and you have seen him."

You heard me tell you I was going away and coming back to you; if you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father ??for the Father is greater than I am.

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.

They would not be guilty, if I had not come and spoken to them; but, as it is, they have no excuse for their sin ??23 he who hates me hates my Father also.

They would not be guilty, if I had not done deeds among them such as no one has ever done; but, as it is, they have seen ??and they have hated ??both me and my Father.

Then from the house of Caiaphas they took Jesus to the praetorium. (It was early morning.) They would not enter the praetorium themselves, in case of being ceremonially defiled, for they wanted to eat the passover;

They retorted, "If he had not been a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you."

Jesus replied, "My realm does not belong to this world; if my realm did belong to this world, my men would have fought to prevent me being handed over to the Jews. No, my realm lies elsewhere."

Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me, unless it had been granted you from above. So you are less guilty than he who betrayed me to you."

(he said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God); then he added, "Follow me."
