Accordingly when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John,"

but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst any more, but the water that I will give him shall become a living spring of water within him, welling up into eternal life."

Then many more believed because of what he said, himself; and they told the woman.

For this reason the Jews continued to seek the more eagerly to put him to death, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was actually speaking of God as his own Father, thus making himself of God's equal.

But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."

"We are not going to stone you for a good deed," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God."

"Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.

"I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.

"He cuts back any of my branches that bear no fruit, and prunes every fruit-bearing branch, that it may bear more.

"Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide in me.

"In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me, because I am going to the Father."

At this some of his disciples said among themselves. "What does he mean by telling us, 'In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me,' and 'because I am going to the Father'?"

Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and said: "Are you questioning one another about my saying, 'A little while and you shall behold me no more, and again a little while you shall see me'?

so he asked them once more, "Whom are you looking for?" and they replied, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Now when Pilate heard these words he was more alarmed than ever,

Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."
