Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

I am One who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me."

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."

Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples.

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

but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them is that you are not of God."

Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.

Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?"

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

we must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

The Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight.

And they asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself."

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

He answered, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"

Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."

Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

Then some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, "Are we blind also?"

"Truly, truly, I say to you, the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in by some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

But he who is a hireling and not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

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'?

It was this Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is sick."

Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live;

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

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

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

But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"

Many of the Jews therefore, who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all!

and not for that nation only, but also that he would gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, said,

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

They took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!"

Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast.

Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

And he who sees me sees him who sent me.

He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.

For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what to say and what to speak.

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives anyone I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me."

The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was leaning close to the breast of Jesus.

Simon Peter motioned to him and said, "Ask who it is of whom he speaks."

Then, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not 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 in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

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

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

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.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.

But all this they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me.

He who hates me hates my Father also.

"But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me.

But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

"I have manifested your name to the men whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in me through their word;

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." And Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

This happened so that the words which he had spoken would be fulfilled, "Of those whom you gave me I have lost none."

And they led him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
