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?

The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”

He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been received because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet!”

Others said, “This is the Messiah!” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does He?

Nicodemus—the one who came to Him previously, being one of them—said to them,

“Teacher,” they said to Him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery.

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

When Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

“No one, Lord,” she answered.

“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”]

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

Then He said to them again, “I’m going away; you will look for Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own. But just as the Father taught Me, I say these things.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples.

You’re doing what your father does.”

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

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

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!’

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Before Abraham was, I am.”

After He said these things He spit on the ground, made some mud from the saliva, and spread the mud on his eyes.

His neighbors and those who formerly had seen him as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the man who sat begging?”

Some said, “He’s the one.” “No,” others were saying, “but he looks like him.”

He kept saying, “I’m the one!”

“Where is He?” they asked.

“I don’t know,” he said.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He doesn’t keep the Sabbath!” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

Again they asked the blind man, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?”

“He’s a prophet,” he said.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.

This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”

“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

“I believe, Lord!” he said, and he worshiped Him.

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

So Jesus said again, “I assure you: I am the door of the sheep.

Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your scripture, I said, you are gods?

do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?

Many came to Him and said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”

When Jesus heard it, He said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

Then after that, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.”

He said this, and then He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m on My way to wake him up.”

Then the disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”

Then Thomas (called “Twin”) said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go so that we may die with Him.”

Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

Martha said, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live.

Having said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

So the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

But some of them said, “Couldn’t He who opened the blind man’s eyes also have kept this man from dying?”

“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.

Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Him, “Lord, he’s already decaying. It’s been four days.”

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me.

I know that You always hear Me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so they may believe You sent Me.”

After He said this, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him and let him go.”

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

One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was about to betray Him), said,

Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look—the world has gone after Him!”

The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

He said this to signify what kind of death He was about to die.

While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.

But this was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said:

Lord, who has believed our message?
And who has the arm of the Lord
been revealed to?

This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:

Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke about Him.

“You will never wash my feet—ever!” Peter said.

Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with Me.”

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

For He knew who would betray Him. This is why He said, “You are not all clean.”

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His robe, He reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?

You call Me Teacher and Lord. This is well said, for I am.

When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit and testified, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me!”

When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

“Lord,” Simon Peter said to Him, “where are You going?”

Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”

“Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where You’re going. How can we know the way?”

“Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”

Therefore some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this He tells us: ‘A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”

They said, “What is this He is saying, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”

Jesus knew they wanted to question Him, so He said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’?

“Ah!” His disciples said. “Now You’re speaking plainly and not using any figurative language.

Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,
the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son
so that the Son may glorify You,

After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

Then He asked them again, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.

This was to fulfill the words He had said: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”

At that, Jesus said to Peter, “Sheathe your sword! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given Me?”

Then the slave girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?”

“I am not!” he said.

Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “You aren’t one of His disciples too, are you?”

He denied it and said, “I am not!”

One of the high priest’s slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”

Then Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?”

They said this so that Jesus’ words might be fulfilled signifying what kind of death He was going to die.

Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

“My kingdom is not of this world,” said Jesus. “If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here.”

“What is truth?” said Pilate.

After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging Him.

And they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and were slapping His face.

Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds for charging Him.”

Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”

But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!”

Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”

“We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.

So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”

So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill the Scripture that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing. And this is what the soldiers did.
