He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going.

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

I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'"

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.

He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."

but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."

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."

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers."

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do 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."

The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."

But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."

I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."

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

The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

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

Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think -- that he isn't coming to the feast at all?"

"Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"

Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

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

A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

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

"Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.

Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.

For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again,

for they loved men's praise more than God's praise.

If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."

You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.

For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.

In my Father's house are many homes. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

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

If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

In that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you,

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

Now we know that you know all things, and don't need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."

for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,

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