Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no self-existent life.

Jesus said all this while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.

But Jesus, knowing that his disciples were complaining about this, said to them, "Does this stagger you?

Yet there are some of you who will not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who would not believe, and who was going to betray him.

So Jesus said to the Twelve, "Do you mean to go away too?"

Jesus answered them, "Did I not myself select all twelve of you? And even of you, one is an informer."

After this Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the Jews were making efforts to kill him.

Then Jesus said to them, "It is not yet time for me to act, but any time is suitable for you.

But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, then Jesus went up also, not publicly, but as though he did not wish to be observed.

But when the festival was half over, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach.

So Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own; it comes from him who has sent me.

Jesus answered, "I have done just one deed, and you are all astonished at it.

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.

Now on the last day, the great day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

He meant by this the Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive??or the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

One of them, Nicodemus, who had previously gone to Jesus, said to them,

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.

Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father too."

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them,

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.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide by what I teach, you are really disciples of mine,

Jesus answered, "I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.

They answered, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, then do what Abraham did.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he has sent me.

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

Jesus answered, "If I show special honor to myself, such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who shows me honor. You say he is your God,

Jesus said to them, "I tell you, I existed before Abraham was born!"

Jesus answered, "It was neither for his own sin nor for that of his parents, but to let what God can do be illustrated in his case.

He answered, "The man they call Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So I went and when I had washed them I could see."

Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the clay and made him able to see.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already made an agreement that if anyone acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogues.

Jesus learned that they had excluded him, and he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Jesus said to him, "You have seen him already, and it is he who is now talking to you."

And Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge men, that those who cannot see may see, and that those who can see may become blind."

Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would be guilty of no sin, but as it is, you say 'We can see'; so your sin continues.

This was the figure Jesus used in speaking to them, but they did not understand what he meant by it.

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

and Jesus was walking up and down inside the Temple, in Solomon's Colonnade.

Jesus answered, "I have told you so, and you will not believe it. The things I have been doing by my Father's authority are my credentials,

Jesus answered, "I have let you see many good things from the Father; which of them do you mean to stone me for?"

Jesus answered, "Is it not declared in your Law, 'I said, "You are gods" '?

So the sisters sent this message to Jesus: "Master, your friend is sick."

When Jesus received it he said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but is for the honor of God, that through it the Son of God may be honored."

Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

Jesus answered, "Is not the day twelve hours long? If a man travels by day he will not stumble, for he can see the light of this world;

Now Jesus had referred to his death. But they supposed that he meant a natural falling asleep.

So Jesus then told them plainly,

When Jesus arrived he found that Lazarus had been buried for four days.

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming she went out to meet him, but Mary remained at home.

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

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise."

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

for Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, and said, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died!"

When Jesus saw her weep and the Jews who had come with her weeping too, repressing a groan, and yet showing great agitation,

Jesus shed tears.

Again repressing a groan, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid against the mouth of it.

Jesus said, "Move the stone away." The dead man's sister, Martha, said to him, "Master, by this time he is decaying, for he has been dead four days."

Jesus said to her, "Have I not promised you that if you will believe in me you will see the glory of God?"

So they moved the stone away. And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for listening to me,

The dead man came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and with his face muffled with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him and let him move."

So it came about that many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and saw what Jesus did, came to believe in him,

Now he was not self-moved in saying this, but as high priest for that year he was inspired to say that Jesus was to die for the nation??52 and not only for the nation but also for the purpose of uniting the scattered children of God.

So from that day they planned to kill Jesus.

In consequence of this, Jesus did not appear in public among the Jews any longer, but he left that neighborhood and went to the district near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.

So they were looking for Jesus there, and asking one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Do you think he will not come to the festival at all?"

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

And Mary took a pound of choice perfume, very costly, and poured it on Jesus' feet, and then wiped his feet with her hair, and the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Jesus said, "Let her alone; let her keep it for the day of my funeral,

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.

for because of him many of the Jews were leaving them and becoming believers in Jesus.

On the following day the crowds that had come up to the festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

And Jesus found a young ass and mounted it, in accordance with the Scripture,

His disciples did not understand this at the time but after Jesus was glorified they remembered that this was said of him in Scripture and that it had happened to him.

and they went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and made this request of him: "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

Philip went and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip went to Jesus and told him.

Jesus answered, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus answered, "It was not for my sake that the voice came, but for yours.

Jesus said to them, "You will have the light only a little while longer. Go on while you still have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for those who go about in the dark do not know where they are going.

While you have the light believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." With these words Jesus went away, and disappeared from them.

But Jesus cried loudly, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who has sent me;

Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father, but he had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.

So at supper??he devil having by this time put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son??3 Jesus, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

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

Peter said to him, "I will never let you wash my feet!" Jesus answered, "You will have no share with me unless I wash you."

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed to be altogether clean. And you are already clean??hough not all of you."

After Jesus had said this he was greatly moved and said solemnly, "I tell you, it is one of you that will betray me!"

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

He leaned back from where he lay, on Jesus' breast, and said to him, "Master, who is it?"

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.

After he took the bread, Satan took possession of him. Then Jesus said to him, "Be quick about your business."

for some of them thought that as Judas had the purse Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the festival," or to have him give something to the poor.

When he was gone, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been honored, and God has been honored through him,

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."

Jesus answered, "You will lay down your life for me? I tell you, before a cock crows, you will disown me thrice over!

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

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Let us see the Father'?

Jesus answered, "Anyone who loves me will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and live with him.
