The woman replied, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You were right in saying, 'I have no husband';

you have had five husbands, and he whom you have now espoused is not your husband. That was a true word."

But he said to them, "I have food, of which you know nothing."

So the disciples asked each other, "Can anyone have brought him something to eat?"

You have a saying, have you not, 'Four months yet, then harvest'? Look round, I tell you; see, the fields are white for harvesting!

I sent you to reap a crop for which you did not toil; other men have toiled, and you reap the profit of their toil."

As they told the woman, "We no longer believe on account of what you said; we have heard for ourselves, we know that he is really the Saviour of the world."

The invalid replied, "Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath, when the water is disturbed; and while I am getting down myself, someone else gets in before me."

So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "This is the sabbath, you have no right to be carrying your mat."

for as the Father has life in himself, so too he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

I have Another to bear testimony to me, and I know the evidence he bears for me is valid.

The Father who sent me has also borne testimony to me himself; but his voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,

his word you have not kept with you, because you do not believe him whom he sent.

but he said to them, "It is I, have no fear";

"Well then," they said, "what is the Sign you perform, that we may see it and believe you? What work have you to show?

But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe.

for I have come down from heaven not to carry out my own will but the will of him who sent me,

They said, "Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he claim now, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you.

What gives life is the Spirit: flesh is of no avail at all. The words I have uttered to you are spirit and life.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, who are we to go to? You have got words of eternal life,

Jesus answered them, "I have only performed one deed, and yet you are all amazed at it.

Yet here he is, opening his lips in public, and they say nothing to him! Can the authorities have really discovered that he is the Christ?

So Jesus cried aloud, as he was teaching in the temple, "You know me? you know where I come from? But I have not come on my own initiative; I am sent, and sent by Him who is real. You do not know Him,

but I know Him, because I have come from Him and He sent me."

Then the attendants went back to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him with you?"

Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him?

Jesus replied to them, "Though I do testify to myself, my evidence is valid, because I know where I have come from and where I am going to ??whereas you do not know where I have come from or where I am going to.

"Where is your Father?" they said. Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me you would have known my Father also."

I have a great deal to say about you and many a judgment to pass upon you; but he who sent me is true, and so I tell the world what I have learned from him."

so Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, you will know then who I am, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but speak as the Father has taught me.

"We are Abraham's offspring," they retorted, "we have never been slaves to anybody. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be free'?"

I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you act as you have learned from your father."

but now you want to kill me ??to kill a man who has told you the truth, the truth I have learned from God. Abraham did not do that.

You do the deeds of your father." They said to him, "We are no bastards: we have one father, even God."

"Truly, truly I tell you," said Jesus, "I have existed before Abraham was born."

So they asked the blind man once more, "What have you to say about him, for opening your eyes?" The man replied, "I say he is a prophet."

He retorted, "I have told you that already, and you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it over again? Do you want to be disciples of his?"

"You have seen him," Jesus said, "he is talking to you."

Then said Jesus, "It is for judgment that I have come into this world, to make the sightless see, to make the seeing blind."

Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty; but, as it is, you claim to have sight ??and so your sin remains."

all who ever came before me have been thieves and robbers ??but the sheep would not listen to them.

The thief only comes to steal, to slay, and to destroy: I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.

I have other sheep, too, which do not belong to this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; so it will be one flock, one shepherd.

No one takes it from me, I lay it down of my own accord: I have power to lay it down and also power to take it up again; I have my Father's orders for this.

Jesus replied, "I have told you, but you do not believe; the deeds I do in the name of my Father testify to me, but you do not believe,

Jesus replied, "I have let you see many a good deed of God; for which of them do you mean to stone me?"

Said Martha to Jesus, "Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died.

But when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she dropped at his feet, crying, "Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died."

"Where have you laid him?" he asked. They answered, "Come and see, sir."

Whereupon the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" ??37 though some of them asked, "Could he not have prevented him from dying, when he could open a blind man's eyes?"

You have always the poor beside you, but you have not always me."

I will say, 'Father, glorify thy name.'" Then came a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."

So the people answered, "We have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; what do you mean by saying that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

Then Jesus said to them, "The Light will shine among you for a little longer yet; walk while you have the Light, that the darkness may not overtake you. He who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.

While you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be sons of the Light." [vss 36b to

I have come as light into the world, that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.

If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world.

He who rejects me and will not receive my words has indeed a judge: the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day,

for I have not spoken of my own accord ??the Father who sent me, he it was who ordered me what to say and what to speak.

Jesus said, "He who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed; he is clean all over. And you are clean ??but not all of you"

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe, he lay down again. "Do you know," he said to them, "what I have been doing to you?

Well, if I have washed your feet, I who am your Lord and Teacher, you are bound to wash one another's feet;

for I have been setting you an example, that you should do what I have done to you.

and when he took the bread, at that moment Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Be quick with what you have to do."

I give you a new command, to love one another ??as I have loved you, you are to love one another.

By this everyone will recognize that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."

Jesus replied, "Lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I tell you, before the cock crows, you will have disowned me thrice over.

In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, would I have told you that I was going to prepare a place for you?

If you knew me, you would know my Father too. You know him now and you have seen him."

Jesus said to him, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and yet you do not understand me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. What do you mean by saying, 'Let us see the Father'?

I have told you all this while I am still with you,

but the Helper, the holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and recall to you everything I have said.

You are already clean, by the word I have spoken to you.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then ask whatever you like and you shall have it.

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain within my love.

If you keep my commands you will remain within my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain within his love.

I have told you this, that my joy may be within you and your joy complete.

This is my command: you are to love one another as I have loved you.

I call you servants no longer, because a servant does not know what his master is doing: I call you friends, because I have imparted to you all that I have learned from my Father.

You have not chosen me, it is I who have chosen you, appointing you to go and bear fruit ??fruit that lasts, so that the Father may grant you whatever you ask in my name.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what it owned; it is because you do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you from the world, that the world hates you.

They would not be guilty, if I had not come and spoken to them; but, as it is, they have no excuse for their sin ??23 he who hates me hates my Father also.

They would not be guilty, if I had not done deeds among them such as no one has ever done; but, as it is, they have seen ??and they have hated ??both me and my Father.

and you too are witnesses, for you have been with me from the very beginning.

I have told you all this, to keep you from being repelled.

This they will do to you, because they have not known the Father nor me.

I have told you all this, so that when the time for it arrives, you may remember what I said to you. I did not tell you about this at the beginning, because I was with you then;

No, your heart is full of sorrow at what I have told you.

I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it just now.

hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

I have told you this in figures, but the time is coming when I shall speak to you in figures no longer; I shall let you know plainly about the Father.

for the Father loves you himself, because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from God.

Now we are sure you know everything, and need no one to put questions to you. This makes us believe you have come forth from God."

I have said all this to you that in me you may have peace; in the world you have trouble, but courage! I have conquered the world.

I have glorified thee on earth by accomplishing the work thou gavest me to do;

I have made thy Name known to the men whom thou hast given to me from the world (thine they were, and thou gavest them to me), and they have held to thy word.

for I have given them the words thou gavest me, and they have received them; they are now sure that I came from thee and believe that thou didst send me.

But now I come to thee (I speak thus in the world that they may have my joy complete within them).

I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
