And said unto him, Every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.

which put his disciples in mind of that passage, "my zeal for thine house does prey upon me."

The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered, "I tell you, if a man does not owe his birth to water and spirit, he cannot get into the Kingdom of God.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so does it behoove the Son of man to be lifted up:

The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

Whoever does accept His testimony has certified with a seal that God is true.

For [the one] whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

[Then] the woman said to Jesus, "I know that Messiah is coming ([He is] the One who is called Christ). And when He does come, He will tell us everything."

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not receive honor in his own country. [Note: Jesus' reference here to his "own country" means Judea, while in Matt., Mark and Luke it refers to Nazareth].

After this, Jesus found him in the temple complex and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

upon which Jesus said to them, verily, verily I say unto you, the son can do nothing of himself, except he sees the father do it: for whatever he doth, that the son does likewise.

For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

in order that all [people] will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?

"In truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "Moses did not give you the Bread from Heaven, but my Father does give you the true Bread from Heaven;

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'?"

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He [who was with the Father and] who is from God; He [alone] has seen the Father.

But Jesus, [because he] knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

"Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?

The Spirit is what gives life; the flesh does not help at all. The truths that I have told you are spirit and life.

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.

For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

Then the Jews were astonished, saying, "How does this man {possess knowledge}, [because he] has not been taught?"

Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me.

Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

Jesus answered them, I perform'd one single miracle on the sabbath, and does that alarm you?

No, we know where this man comes from; but when the Christ does come, no one will know where he comes from."

Indeed many of the people believed in him, saying, "When the Christ does come, will he perform more Signs than this man?"

Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?

what does he mean by saying, "ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, thither ye cannot come?"

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David’s offspring and from the town of Bethlehem, where David once lived?”

The officers answered, "No man ever talked as He does!"

But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!"

"Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, [does it]?"

They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, [are you]? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!" [[

{Joh 7:538:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.} [And they went each to his house;

So Jesus, straightening up and seeing no one except the woman, said to her, "Where are those accusers of yours? Does no one condemn you?"

And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever.

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you plan to kill Me, because My word has no place [to grow] in you [and it makes no change in your heart].

You’re doing what your father does.”

“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own [nature], because he is a liar and the father {of lies}.

he that is of God, does therefore observe what God says: which you do not observe, because ye are not of God.

"If I do honor to myself," answered Jesus, "such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honor--and you say that he is your God;

Some said, "Yes, it is he." Others said, "No, but it surely does look like him." He himself said, "I am the man."

So they said to him, "Then how does it happen that you can see?"

thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them.

They asked them, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

now 'tis certain, that God does not countenance impostors: but regards him only that is religious, and executes his commands.

“I assure you: Anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the door but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

A thief does not come for any purpose but to steal and kill and destroy; I have come for people to have life and have it till it overflows.

The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep, leaves them and runs away when he sees a wolf coming. The wolf then snatches and scatters them.

This happens because he is a hired man and doesn’t care about the sheep.

Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

"Does it not stand written in your Law," replied Jesus, "'I said, you are gods'?

If I am not doing the things my Father does, do not believe me.

Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in the day? he that travels by day does not stumble, because he has the light of this world to see by.

If anyone walks during the night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”

So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do since this man does many signs?

Therefore they sought Jesus, and spoke with each other as they stood in the temple, What does it seem to you? That he will, no, not come to the feast?

Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

Jesus answer'd them, yet a little while is the light with you: walk while ye have the light, lest darkness surprize you: for he that walketh in darkness, does not know whither he goes.

Then Jesus rais'd his voice, and said, he that believeth on me, does not so much believe on me, as on him that sent me.

but if any man hear my words, and does not believe them, it is not I that condemn him: for I came not to condemn the world, but to save the world.

he that rejecteth me, and does not embrace my doctrine, hath one that condemns him: the doctrine that I have delivered, that shall condemn him in the last day.

“One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn’t need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

"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.'

“I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am He.

And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. The Father who lives in Me does His works.

He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.

Yet a little while and the world does not see Me any more. But you see Me. Because I live, you shall live also.

Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said to him, "Master, how does it happen that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.

I have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen you may believe.

Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.

Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father.

if you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.

But I have told you these things that when the time does come, you may remember that I told you. I did not tell you these things at the start, because I was with you.

And when He does come, He will bring conviction to the world regarding sin [i.e., exposing it and producing guilt], regarding what is right [i.e., upholding godly standards], and regarding judgment [i.e., showing that sin condemns].

So some of His disciples said to one another, "What does He mean by telling us, 'In just a little while you will not see me, and yet in just a little while after you will see me again,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

So they kept saying, "What does He mean by saying, 'a little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."

A woman has pain when giving birth because her time has come. But when the child is born, she does not remember the intense suffering because she is so happy over the child being born into the world.
