But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

I have come in My Father’s name, yet you don’t accept Me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.

"Don't think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

And Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down there with His disciples.

So Jesus, looking up and seeing a large crowd coming to Him, said to Philip [Note: He was one of the apostles, whose home town was at nearby Bethsaida. See 1:44], "Where are we going to buy [enough] bread, so that this crowd can eat?"

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets.

The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

But He said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid!”

(However, meanwhile, some other [small] boats had come from Tiberias [i.e., a small town on the west side of the lake] near where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks).

Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal of approval on Him.”

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don't believe.

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

Therefore Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

But there are some among you who don’t believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who would not believe and the one who would betray Him.)

Therefore Jesus said to the Twelve, “You don’t want to go away too, do you?”

Then his brothers said to him, Go down from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do;

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

“Does our Law convict someone without first giving him a hearing and finding out what he is [accused of] doing?”

And at dawn he came again to the temple,

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

Now in the law, Moses required us to stone such people [to death], so what do you say [should be done with her]?"

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her."

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

They listened [to His reply], and they began to go out one by one, starting with the oldest ones, until He was left alone, with the woman [standing there before Him] in the center of the court.

"No one, sir," she replied. Then Jesus said, "I don't condemn you, either. Go home, and from now on don't sin anymore."

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would've known my Father, too." He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if you don't believe me to be what I am, ye shall die in your sins.

Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.

They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham;

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word.

But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.

Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me?

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"

Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

You’ve never known Him, but I know Him. If I were to say I don’t know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

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

“Where is He?” they asked.

“I don’t know,” he said.

“But we don’t know how he now sees, and we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he’s of age. He will speak for himself.”

He answered, “Whether or not He’s a sinner, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see!”

“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man—we don’t know where He’s from!”

“This is an amazing thing,” the man told them. “You don’t know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes!

Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."

Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

They will never follow a stranger; instead they will run away from him, because they don’t recognize the voice of strangers.”

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

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:

because he's a hired worker, and the sheep don't matter to him.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

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

“I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in My Father’s name testify about Me.

But you don’t believe because you are not My sheep.

And seeing this, Jesus said: "I have done before your eyes many good actions, inspired by the Father; for which of them would you stone me?"

The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

If I am not doing My Father’s works, don’t believe Me.

But if I am doing them and you don’t believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.”

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Then Thomas, who was called Didymus (the twin), said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, that we may die with Him.”

So, when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went [out to the edge of town. See verse 30] to meet Him, but Mary [just] sat at home [i.e., probably grief-stricken].

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

But some of them said, "This is the man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn't he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?"

Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

whereupon the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "Whatever is to be done?" they said. "The fellow is performing a number of Signs.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, "You don't know anything!

You don't realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed."

Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples.

Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down with Him.

"Why was not this perfume sold for ten pounds, and the money given to the poor?"

For you always have the poor with you, but you don't always have me."

"Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
