Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the Son can do nothing on his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing, What the Father does, the Son does likewise.

After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, to Tiberias).

But Jesus went up on a hillside and sat down there with his disciples.

When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he asked Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"

Jesus said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass in that area, so they sat down, numbering about 5,000 men.

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated. He also distributed as much fish as they wanted.

When they were completely satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, "Collect the pieces that are left over so that nothing is wasted."

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already fallen, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

After they had rowed about 25 or 30 stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea toward their boat. They became terrified.

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea noticed that only one boat had been there, and no other, and that Jesus had not gotten into that boat with his disciples. Instead, his disciples had gone away by themselves.

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

Jesus replied to them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate the loaves and were completely satisfied.

Jesus answered them, "This is God's work: to believe in the one whom he has sent."

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

Jesus told them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.

They kept saying, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, "I have come down from heaven'?"

Jesus answered them, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.

So Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, asked them, "Does this offend you?

But there are some among you who don't believe..." - because Jesus knew from the beginning those who weren't believing, as well as the one who would betray him.

So Jesus asked the Twelve, "You don't want to leave, too, do you?"

Jesus answered them, "I chose you, the Twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil."

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, because he didn't want to travel in Judea, since the Jewish leaders there were trying to kill him.

Jesus told them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.

Halfway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and began teaching.

Jesus replied to them, "My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

Jesus answered them, "I performed one action, and all of you are astonished.

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

The Pharisees heard the crowd debating these things about him, so the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest Jesus.

Then Jesus said, "I'll be with you only a little while longer, and then I'm going back to the one who sent me.

On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who were believing in him were to receive, because the Spirit was not yet present and Jesus had not yet been glorified.

One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus), asked them,

Jesus, however, went to the Mount of Olives.

They said this to test him, so that they might have a charge against him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.

Then Jesus stood up and asked her, "Dear lady, where are your accusers? Hasn't anyone condemned you?"

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

Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Jesus answered them, "Even though I'm testifying about myself, my testimony is valid because I know where I've come 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.

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

So Jesus told those Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are really my disciples.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

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.

Jesus told them, "If God were your Father, you would've loved me, because I came from God and am here. I haven't come on my own accord, but he sent me.

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

Jesus answered, "If I were trying to glorify myself, my glory would mean nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, "He is our God.'

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"

At this, they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him.

He said, "The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, "Go to Siloam and wash.' So off I went and washed, and I received my sight."

Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and healed his eyes.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, since the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Jesus told him, "You have seen him. He is the person who is talking with you."

Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge it, so that those who are blind may see and so that those who see may become blind."

Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, "We see,' your sin still exists."

Jesus used this illustration with them, but they didn't understand what he was saying to them.

So again Jesus said, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, I'm the gate for the sheep.

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of what Jesus had been saying.

and Jesus was walking around in the Temple inside the open porch of Solomon.

Jesus answered them, "I have told you, but you don't believe it. The actions that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf,

Jesus replied to them, "I've shown you many good actions from my Father. For which of them are you going to stone me?"

Jesus replied to them, "Is it not written in your Law, "I said, "You are gods"'?

And many believed in Jesus there.

So the sisters sent word to Jesus and told him, "Lord, the one whom you love is ill."

But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness isn't meant to end in death. It's for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about resting or sleeping.

Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus has died.

When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.

Martha told Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Jesus told her, "Your brother will rise again."

Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.

Now Jesus had not yet arrived at the village but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and told him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was greatly troubled in spirit and deeply moved.

Jesus burst into tears.

Groaning deeply again, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying in front of it.

Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, "Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days."

Jesus told her, "I told you that if you believed you would see God's glory, didn't I?"

Then Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them, "Untie him, and let him go."

Many of the Jews who had come with Mary and who had observed what Jesus did believed in him.

Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

As a result, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness. There he remained with his disciples.

They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?"

Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

Mary took a litron of very expensive perfume made of pure nard and anointed Jesus' feet. She wiped his feet with her hair, and the house became filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Then Jesus said, "Leave her alone so she can observe the day of my burial,

When the large crowd of Jews realized that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

since he was the reason why so many of the Jews were leaving to believe in Jesus.

The next day, the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem.

Then Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written:
