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 ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.

Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

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.

Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.

But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.

Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.

So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself--with me is the Father who sent me.

Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

They did not see that his words were about the Father.

He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?

Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.

And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.

When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

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 said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.

And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.

For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)
