What does he mean by saying, 'You will search for me but you will not find me, and where I go, you cannot come'?"

others said, "He is the Christ"; but others said, "No, surely the Christ does not come from Galilee?

some wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

"But surely our Law does not condemn the accused before hearing what he has to say and ascertaining his offence?"

but Jesus went to the Hill of Olives.

Now Moses has commanded us in the Law to stone such creatures; but what do you say?"

but as they persisted with their question, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent among you throw the first stone at her";

These words he spoke in the treasury, as he was teaching in the temple, but no one arrested him, because his time had not come yet.

Then he said to them again, "I go away, and you will search for me, but you will die in your sin; where I go, you cannot come."

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.

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.

but you do not understand him. I know him. Were I to say, 'I do not know him,' I would be a liar like yourselves; but I do know him and I hold to his word.

At this they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus concealed himself and made his way out of the temple.

Some said, "It is"; others said, "No, but it is like him." He said, "I am the man."

But how he can see to-day, we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask himself; he is of age, he can speak for himself."

We know God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from."

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."

Truly, truly I tell you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs up somewhere else, he is a thief and a robber;

Jesus told them this allegory, but they did not understand what he was saying to them;

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

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,

The Jews retorted, "We mean to stone you, not for a good deed, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, make yourself God."

but if I am, then believe the deeds, though you will not believe me ??that you may learn and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

Once more they tried to arrest him, but he escaped their hands

and many came to him, saying, "John did not perform any Sign, but all he ever said about this man was true."

but if one walks during the night he does stumble, for the light is not in him."

Jesus, however, had been speaking of his death; but as they imagined he meant natural sleep,

But now ??well, I know whatever you ask God for, he will grant you."

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."

(I knew thou wouldst always listen to me, but I spoke on account of the crowd around, that they might believe thou hast sent me.)"

But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done;

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it ??50 you do not understand it is in your own interests that one man should die for the People, instead of the whole nation being destroyed."

and not merely for the nation but to gather into one the scattered children of God.)

Accordingly Jesus no longer appeared in public among the Jews, but withdrew to the country adjoining the desert, to a town called Ephraim; there he stayed with the disciples.

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

Now the great mass of the Jews learned he was there, and they came not only on account of Jesus but to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

(His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered this had been written of him and had happened to him.)

Truly, truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains a single grain; but if it dies, it bears rich fruit.

Jesus answered, "This voice did not come for my sake but for yours.

But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."

And Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me,

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.

Jesus answered him, "You do not understand just now what I am doing, but you will understand it later on."

"Lord," said Simon Peter, "then wash not only my feet but my hands and head."

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"

even the Spirit of truth: the world cannot receive him, because it neither sees nor knows him, but you know him, because he remains with you and will be within you.

A little while longer and the world will see me no more; but you will see me, because I am living and you will be living too.

He who does not love me does not obey my word; and what you hear me say is not my word but the word of the Father who sent me.

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.

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.

but now I am going to him who sent me. And yet not one of you asks, 'Where are you going?'

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

Truly, truly I tell you, you will be wailing and lamenting while the world is rejoicing; you will be sorrowful, but then your sorrow will be changed into joy.

When a woman is in labour she is sorry, for her time has come; but when the child is born she remembers her anguish no longer, for joy that a human being has been born into the world:

So with you. Just now you are in sorrow, but I shall see you again and your heart will rejoice ??with a joy that no one can take from you.

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.

Behold, the time is coming, it has come already, when you will be scattered to your homes, everyone of you, leaving me alone. But I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

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 pray for them ??not for the world but for those whom thou hast given me do I pray; for they are thine

I am to be in the world no longer, but they are to be in the world; I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

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

I pray not that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt keep them from the evil one.

Nor do I pray for them alone, but for all who believe in me by their spoken word;

But it is your custom that I should release a prisoner for you at the passover. Is it your will that I release you the king of the Jews?"

The Jews retorted, "But we have a Law, and by [our] Law he is bound to die, because he has made himself out to be God's Son."

This made Pilate anxious to release him, but the Jews yelled, "If you release him, you are no friend of Caesar's! Anyone who makes himself a king is against Caesar!"

Then they yelled, "Off with him! Off with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your king?" said Pilate. The high priests retorted, "We have no king but Caesar!"

Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. But as the tunic was seamless, woven right down in a single piece,

but when they came to Jesus and saw he was dead already, they did not break his legs;

After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, a disciple of Jesus but a secret disciple ??for fear of the Jews ??asked Pilate for permission to remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed him. So he went and removed the body,

On the first day of the week Mary of Magdala went early to the tomb, when it was still dark; but as she saw the boulder had been removed from the tomb,

they both started to run, but the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and got to the tomb first.

He glanced in and saw the bandages lying on the ground, but he did not go inside.

but that the napkin which had been round his head was folded up by itself, instead of lying beside the other bandages.

but Mary stood sobbing outside the tomb. As she sobbed, she glanced inside the tomb

Jesus said, "Cease clinging to me. I have not ascended yet to the Father, but go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and yours, to my God and yours.'"

but these Signs are recorded so that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing may have life through his Name.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going to fish." They said, "We are coming with you too." Off they went and embarked in the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

So Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty three of them; but for all their number the net was not torn.

Truly, truly I tell you, you put on your own girdle and went wherever you wanted, when you were young; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands for someone to gird you, and you will be taken where you have no wish to go"

Also, as he ate with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father promised ??"for what you have heard me speak of," said he;

"for John baptized with water, but not many days after this you shall be baptized with the holy Spirit."

But he told them, "It is not for you to know the course and periods of time that the Father has fixed by his own authority.

As he went up, their eyes were fixed on heaven; but just then two men stood beside them dressed in white,

With the money paid him for his crime he purchased an estate; but swelling up he burst in two, and all his bowels poured out ??19 a fact which became known to all the residents in Jerusalem, so that the estate got the name, in their language, of Akeldamach or The Ground of Blood.

But Peter stood up along with the eleven, and raising his voice he addressed them thus: "Men of Judaea and residents in Jerusalem, let everyone of you understand this ??attend to what I say:

but God raised him by checking the pangs of death. Death could not hold him.

But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but I will give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, [get up and] walk!"

But when Peter saw this, he said to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you surprised at this? Why do you stare at us, as if we had made him walk by any power or piety of ours?

but you repudiated the Holy and Just One; the boon you asked was a murderer,

and you killed the pioneer of Life. But God raised him from the dead, as we can bear witness.

but as they saw the man who had been healed standing beside them, they could say nothing.

But Peter and John replied, "Decide for yourselves whether it is right before God to obey you rather than God.

[Relocated to before vs 34] Now there was but one heart and soul among the multitude of the believers; not one of them considered anything his personal property, they shared all they had with one another.

But a man called Ananias, who with his wife Sapphira had sold some property,

When it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And even after the sale, was the money not yours to do as you pleased about it? How could you think of doing a thing like this? You have not defrauded men but God."

but an angel of the Lord opened the prison-doors during the night and brought them out, saying,

But as the attendants did not find them when they got to the prison, they came back to report,
