So then they said to him, "What must we do to accomplish the deeds God requires?"

So they said to him, "Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time!"

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

and they said, "Isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things, said, "This is a difficult saying! Who can understand it?"

When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

So Jesus said to the twelve, "You don't want to go away too, do you?"

(Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

When he had said this, he remained in Galilee.

Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, "How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?"

Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, "Whenever the Christ comes, he won't perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?"

Then Jesus said, "I will be with you for only a little while longer, and then I am going to the one who sent me.

Then the Jewish leaders said to one another, "Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Others said, "This is the Christ!" But still others said, "No, for the Christ doesn't come from Galilee, does he?

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why didn't you bring him back with you?"

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before and who was one of the rulers, said,

and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.

Jesus stood up straight and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

She replied, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more."]]

Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will look for me but will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come."

So they said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus replied, "What I have told you from the beginning.

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.

Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples

You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the solemn truth, before Abraham came into existence, I am!"

Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man's eyes

and said to him, "Go wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "sent"). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.

Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"

They said to him, "Where is that man?" He replied, "I don't know."

Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such miraculous signs?" Thus there was a division among them.

(His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

For this reason his parents said, "He is a mature adult, ask him.")

Then they summoned the man who used to be blind a second time and said to him, "Promise before God to tell the truth. We know that this man is a sinner."

Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?"

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

[He said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.

Jesus said,] "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight, and the ones who see may become blind."

So Jesus said to them again, "I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.

Others said, "These are not the words of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see, can it?"

Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"

Jesus answered, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'?

do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Many came to him and began to say, "John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

Then after this, he said to his disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

After he said this, he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him."

So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, so that we may die with him."

Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Martha said, "I know that he will come back to life 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 will live even if he dies,

And when she had said this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Thus the people who had come to mourn said, "Look how much he loved him!"

But some of them said, "This is the man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn't he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?"

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, replied, "Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, because he has been buried four days."

So they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.

I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me."

When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, "Unwrap him and let him go."

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the council together and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, "You know nothing at all!

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him) said,

(Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)

So Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept it for the day of my burial.

Thus the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing. Look, the world has run off after him!"

The crowd that stood there and heard the voice said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to him.

Jesus said, "This voice has not come for my benefit but for yours.

(Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.)

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he went away and hid himself from them.

so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled. He said, "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said,

Isaiah said these things because he saw Christ's glory, and spoke about him.

Then he came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus replied, "If I do not wash you, you have no share with me."

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!"

(For Jesus knew the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said, "Not every one of you is clean.")

So when Jesus had washed their feet and put his outer clothing back on, he took his place at the table again and said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

When he had said these things, Jesus was greatly distressed in spirit, and testified, "I tell you the solemn truth, one of you will betray me."

And after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are about to do, do quickly."

(Now none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.

When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

Children, I am still with you for a little while. You will look for me, and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' now I tell you the same.

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

Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

Thomas said, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content."

"Lord," Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.

Instead your hearts are filled with sadness because I have said these things to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What is the meaning of what he is saying, 'In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me,' and, 'because I am going to the Father'?"

Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about these things, so he said to them, "Are you asking each other about this -- that I said, 'In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me'?

His disciples said, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in obscure figures of speech!

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you --

When he had said these things, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley. There was an orchard there, and he and his disciples went into it.
