Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You have not also been deceived, [have you]?

{None} of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, [have they]?

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

Then 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 and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

So they were saying to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also."

So they began to say to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "{What} I have been saying to you [from] the beginning.

I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

They replied to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, 'You will become free'?"

I speak [the things] that I have seen with the Father; so also you do [the things] that you have heard from the Father."

You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

Jesus replied, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.

So the Jews said to him, "{You are} not yet fifty years [old], and have you seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you." [[

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

Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

The thief {comes only} so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have [it] abundantly.

And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock--one shepherd.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"

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

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world."

Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was [and] saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."

But some of them said, "Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do [something] so that this man also would not have died?"

For you have the poor with you always, but you do not always have me."

"Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? But for this [reason] I have come to this hour!

Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have both glorified [it], and I will glorify [it] again."

Then the crowd replied to him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains {forever}! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

So Jesus said to them, "Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light." Jesus said these [things], and [then] he went away [and] was hidden from them.

I have come [as] a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.

And if anyone hears my words and does not observe [them], I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me {has commanded me} what I should say and what I should speak.

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet {forever}!" Jesus replied to him, "Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me."

So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.

"I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, 'The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

"A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another--just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

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

Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because I am going away to prepare a place for you.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you know him and have seen him."

Jesus said to him, "Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

These [things] I have spoken to you [while] residing with you.

You have heard that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I [am].

And now I have told you before [it] happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

"Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

I have spoken these [things] to you in order that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made complete.

This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.

No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they do not have a valid excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

"I have said these [things] to you so that you will not fall away.

But I have said these [things] to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them.

But because I have said these [things] to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.

I still have many [things] to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

"I have said these [things] to you in figurative sayings. An hour is coming when I will speak to you in figurative sayings no longer, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

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

I have gone out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

Now we know that you know everything and do not {need for} anyone to ask you [questions]. By this we believe that you have come from God."

I have said these [things] to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world."

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

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

I have glorified you on earth [by] completing the work that you have given me {to do}.

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

Now they understand that all [the things] that you have given me are from you,

because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received [them] and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.

I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,

and all my [things] are yours, and your [things] [are] mine, and I have been glorified in them.

And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we [are].

When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded [them], and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.

And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these [things] in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.

Just as you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, in order that they may be one, just as we [are] one--

I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

"Father, [those] whom you have given to me--I want that those also may be with me where I am, in order that they may see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these [men] have come to know that you sent me.

in order that the word that he had spoken would be fulfilled: "Those whom you have given to me--I have not lost anyone of them."

Jesus replied to him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple [courts] where all the Jews assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.

Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these [people] know what I said."

Jesus replied to him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what [is] wrong! But if [I have spoken] correctly, why do you strike me?"

They answered and said to him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have handed him over to you!"

Jesus replied, "Do you say this from yourself, or have others said [this] to you about me?"

Pilate replied, "I am not a Jew, [am I]? Your people and the chief priests handed you over to me! What have you done?"

Then Pilate said to him, "So then you are a king!" Jesus replied, "You say that I am a king. For this [reason] I was born, and for this reason I have come into the world: in order that I can testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."

The Jews replied to him, "We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be the Son of God!"

So Pilate said to him, "Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I have authority to crucify you?"

Jesus replied to him, "You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this [reason] the one who handed me over to you has greater sin."
