They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;

and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”

As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?”

So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?”

He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

So they *said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out.

And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.

This He said, and after that He *said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”

So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”

Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

and said, “Where have you laid him?” They *said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

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

So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, *came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

Jesus *said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

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

I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”

Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?”

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

Therefore Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”

So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.”

these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

“Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

“He has blinded their eyes and He hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.”

These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”

So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.”

So Simon Peter *gestured to him, and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”

Jesus then *answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He *took and *gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.

He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
