And they went to John and said to him, "Master, the man who was with you across the Jordan, and to whom you yourself gave testimony, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him."

You will bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ; I have been sent in advance of him.'

For he whom God has sent speaks God's words, for God gives him his Spirit without measure.

Jesus said to her, "I who am talking to you am he!"

The sick man answered, "I have nobody, sir, to put me into the pool when the water stirs, but while I am getting down someone else steps in ahead of me."

For just as the Father awakens the dead and makes them come to life, the Son makes anyone whom he chooses come to life.

I cannot do anything of my own accord. I pass judgment just as I am told to do, and my judgment is just, for I am not seeking to do what I please, but what pleases him who has sent me.

But the testimony that I accept is not from any man; I am only saying this that you may be saved.

But I have higher testimony than John's, for the things that my Father has intrusted to me to accomplish, the very things that I am doing, are proof that my Father has sent me,

and you do not keep his message in your hearts, for you do not believe the messenger whom he has sent.

Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. Moses is your accuser??oses, on whom you have fixed your hopes!

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread that gives life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty.

The Jews complained of him for saying, "I am the bread that has come out of heaven,"

I am the bread that gives life.

I am this living bread that has come down out of heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the world's life is my own flesh!"

Simon Peter answered, "To whom can we go, sir? You have a message of eternal life,

As for you, go up to the festival; I am not going up to this festival as yet, for it is not quite time for me to go."

So Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple, cried out, "You do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come of my own accord but someone who is very real, whom you do not know, has sent me.

Jesus said, "I am to be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who has sent me.

Then Jesus spoke to them again and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not have to walk in darkness but will have the light of life."

Jesus answered, "Even if I am testifying to myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I have come from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

You judge by material standards, but I am judging nobody.

But even if I do judge, my decision is just, because I am not by myself, but the Father who sent me is with me.

Here I am testifying to myself, and the Father who has sent me testifies to me."

Then he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die in the midst of your sin. You cannot come where I am going."

So the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself, and is that why he says, 'You cannot come where I am going'?"

He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not belong to this world.

That is why I said to you that you would die in the midst of your sins, for unless you believe that I am what I say, you will die in the midst of your sins."

So Jesus said, "When you lift the Son of Man up in the air, then you will know that I am what I say, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but speak as the Father has instructed me.

Jesus answered, "I am not possessed, but I have respect for my Father, and you have no respect for me.

yet you have never come to know him. But I know him. If I say I do not know him, I will be a liar like yourselves. No! I do know him, and I am faithful to his message.

As long as I am in the world, I am a light for the world."

Some said, "Yes! It is he!" Others said, "No! but he looks like him." He himself said, "I am the man."

So Jesus said again, "I tell you, I am the door of the sheepfold.

I am the door. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will pass in and out and find pasture.

I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd will give his life for his sheep.

I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me,

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I am giving my life for my sheep.

This is why the Father loves me, because I am giving my life, but giving it to take it back again.

No one has taken it from me, but I am giving it of my own accord. I have power to give it, and I have power to take it back again. These are the orders I have received from my Father."

If those to whom God's message was addressed were called gods??nd the Scripture cannot be set aside??36 do you mean to say to me whom the Father has consecrated and made his messenger to the world, 'You are blasphemous,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

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

But if I am doing them, then even if you will not believe me, believe the things I do, in order that you may realize and learn that the Father is in union with me, and I am in union with the Father."

He told them this, and then he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

"Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him."

Jesus said to her, "I myself am Resurrection and Life. He who believes in me will live on, even if he dies,

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.

A great many of the Jews found out that he was there, and they came to Bethany not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and wherever I am found, my servant must be also. If anyone serves me, my Father will show him honor.

Now my heart is troubled; what am I to say? Father, save me from this trial! And yet it was for this very purpose that I have come to this trial.

and if I am lifted up from the ground, I will draw all men to myself."

in fulfilment of the saying of the prophet Isaiah, "Lord, who has believed our account? And to whom has the Lord's mighty arm been unveiled?"

Jesus answered, "You cannot understand now what I am doing, but you will learn by and by."

You call me Teacher and Master, and you are right, for that is what I am.

I do not mean all of you; I know whom I have chosen; but let the Scripture be fulfilled: " 'He who is eating my bread Has raised his heel against me.'

From now on I will tell you things before they happen, so that when they do happen you may believe that I am what I say.

Next to Jesus, at his right at the table, was one of his disciples whom Jesus especially loved.

So Simon Peter nodded to him and said to him, "Tell us whom he means."

Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I am going to give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." So he dipped the piece of bread and took it and gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

My children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but, as I said to the Jews, where I am going you cannot follow,

Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "I am going where you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me later."

There are many rooms in my Father's house; if there were not, I would have told you, for I am going away to make ready a place for you.

And if I go and make it ready, I will come back and take you with me, so that you may be where I am.

You know the way to the place where I am going."

Jesus said to him, "I am Way and Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? I am not the source of the words that I say to you, but the Father who is united with me is doing these things himself.

You must believe that I am in union with the Father and that the Father is in union with me, or else you must believe because of the things themselves.

I tell you, whoever believes in me will do such things as I do, and things greater yet, because I am going to the Father.

I am not going to leave you friendless. I am coming back to you.

When that day comes you will know that I am in union with my Father and you are with me and I am with you.

"I have told you this while I am still staying with you,

You have heard me say that I am going away and am coming back to you; if you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Anyone who remains united to me, with me united to him, will be very fruitful, for you cannot do anything apart from me.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,

But now I am going away to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me where I am going,

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean when he tells us, 'In a little while you will not see me any longer, and a little while after, you will see me again,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

I did come from the Father and enter the world. Now I am leaving the world again and going back to the Father."

Why, a time is coming??t has already come!??hen you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

just as you have done in giving him power over all mankind, so that he may give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.

Now I am to be no longer in this world, but they are to remain in the world, while I return to you. Holy Father, keep them by your power which you gave me, so that they may be one just as we are.

But now I am coming to you, and I say this here in this world in order that they may have the happiness that I feel fully realized in their own hearts.

Let them all be one. Just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am with you, let them be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

Father, I wish to have those whom you have given me with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me, for you loved me before the creation of the world.

They answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." He said to them, "I am he." Judas who betrayed him was standing among them.

When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am he, so if you are looking for me, let these men go."

This was to fulfil the saying he had uttered, "I have not lost one of those whom you have given me."

The maid at the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "No, I am not."

But Simon Peter still stood warming himself. So they said to him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "No, I am not."

Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "As you say, I am a king. It was for this that I was born and for this that I came to the world, to give testimony for truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to my voice."

At that they shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Have him crucified!" Pilate said to them, "Am I to crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor!"

So the Jewish high priests said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but write 'He said, I am the king of the Jews.' "

So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, said to his mother, "There is your son!"

After that, Jesus, knowing that everything was now finished, to fulfil the saying of Scripture, said, "I am thirsty."

Moreover, it says in another place, "They shall look at the man whom they pierced."

Jesus said to her, "You must not cling to me, for I have not yet gone up to my Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
