but I have already told you, that tho' you have seen me, you do not believe.

All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, -

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever."

It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.

So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

but Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.

And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

Jesus answered them, have I not chosen you all twelve, and yet one of you is an avowed enemy?

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

The crowd replied, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?

and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

when the officers return'd to the chief priests and Pharisees, they asked them, why have ye not brought him?

Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You have not also been deceived, [have you]?

have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

then said they to him, where is thy father: Jesus answered, ye neither know me, nor my father: if ye knew me, ye would have known my father also.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he , and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

I know that ye are Abraham's seed: but ye seek means to kill me because my sayings have no place in you.

I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.

but now ye seek to kill me, the man who has told you the truth, such as I have learnt it of God: Abraham did not act thus.

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

The Jews responded to Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You’re a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death."

Then the Jews said, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death—ever!’

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?

"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.

and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.

then said the Jews to him, you are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.

While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

I have already told you that, said he, and did you not hear it? why would ye hear it over again? have you likewise a mind to be his disciples?

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing."

They replied to the beggar, "You were born entirely in sins [i.e., you have been a sinner all your life], and you are [trying] to teach us?" Then they threw him out [of the synagogue. See verse 22].

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

Jesus answered, “You have seen Him; in fact, He is the One speaking with you.”

And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

And Jesus said,]] "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!"

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'

they who have personated me, are all thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not follow them.

I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father.

This commission have I received of my Father. There was again a division among the Jews, because of these sayings.

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;

Jesus answered them, many good works have I shewed you from my father; for which of those works would you stone me?

Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I have say ye are gods?'
