What does he mean by saying, 'You will search for me but you will not find me, and where I go, you cannot come'?"

"But surely our Law does not condemn the accused before hearing what he has to say and ascertaining his offence?"

Now Moses has commanded us in the Law to stone such creatures; but what do you say?"

And on hearing what he said, they went away one by one, beginning with the older men, till Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

I have a great deal to say about you and many a judgment to pass upon you; but he who sent me is true, and so I tell the world what I have learned from him."

He who sent me is at my side; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him."

So Jesus addressed the Jews who had believed him, saying, "If you abide by what I say, you are really disciples of mine:

"We are Abraham's offspring," they retorted, "we have never been slaves to anybody. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be free'?"

I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you act as you have learned from your father."

Why do you not understand my speech? Because you are unable to listen to what I am saying.

You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires; he was a slayer of men from the very beginning, and he has no place in the truth because there is no truth in him: when he tells a lie, he is expressing his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Truly, truly I tell you, if anyone holds to what I say, he will never see death."

The Jews said to him, "Now we are sure you are mad. Abraham is dead, and so are all the prophets; and you declare, 'If anyone holds to what I say, he will never taste death'!

So they asked the blind man once more, "What have you to say about him, for opening your eyes?" The man replied, "I say he is a prophet."

"What did he do to you?" they repeated; "How did he open your eyes?"

Jesus told them this allegory, but they did not understand what he was saying to them;

Now a number of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and who witnessed what he had done, believed in him.

But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done;

They looked out for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they said to one another, "What do you think? Do you think he will not come up to the festival?"

(Not that he cared for the poor; he said this because he was a thief, and because he carried the money-box and pilfered what was put in.)

Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, let her keep what she has for the day of my burial.

My soul is now disquieted. What am I to say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? Nay, it is something else that has brought me to this hour:

So the people answered, "We have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; what do you mean by saying that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

Now for all the Signs he had performed before them, they did not believe in him ??38 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what they heard from us, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

for I have not spoken of my own accord ??the Father who sent me, he it was who ordered me what to say and what to speak.

Jesus answered him, "You do not understand just now what I am doing, but you will understand it later on."

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe, he lay down again. "Do you know," he said to them, "what I have been doing to you?

You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right: that is what I am.

for I have been setting you an example, that you should do what I have done to you.

and when he took the bread, at that moment Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Be quick with what you have to do."

some of them thought that as Judas kept the money-box, Jesus told him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.)

Jesus said to him, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and yet you do not understand me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. What do you mean by saying, 'Let us see the Father'?

He who does not love me does not obey my word; and what you hear me say is not my word but the word of the Father who sent me.

You are my friends ??if you do what I command you;

I call you servants no longer, because a servant does not know what his master is doing: I call you friends, because I have imparted to you all that I have learned from my Father.

This is what I command you, to love one another.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what it owned; it is because you do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you from the world, that the world hates you.

Remember what I told you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they hold to my word, they will hold to yours.

I have told you all this, so that when the time for it arrives, you may remember what I said to you. I did not tell you about this at the beginning, because I was with you then;

No, your heart is full of sorrow at what I have told you.

However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of his own accord, he will say whatever he is told, and he will disclose to you what is to come.

He will glorify me, for he will draw upon what is mine and disclose it to you.

All that the Father has is mine; that is why I say, 'he will draw upon what is mine and disclose it to you.'

So some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by telling us, 'In a little while, you will behold me no longer; then, after a little, you shall see me'? and, 'I go to the Father'?"

They said, "What is the meaning of 'In a little'? We do not understand what he is saying."

Jesus knew they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are discussing together, why I said, 'In a little while, you will not see me: then, after a little, you shall see me'?

Why ask me? Ask my hearers what I have said to them; they know what I said."

"If I have said anything wrong," replied Jesus, "prove it; if I said what was true, why strike me?"

so Pilate came outside to them and asked, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

"Am I a Jew?" said Pilate. "Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

"Truth!" said Pilate, "what is truth!" With these words he went outside to the Jews again and told them, "I cannot find anything wrong about him.

Pilate had written an inscription to be put on the cross; what he wrote was, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Pilate replied, "What I have written, I have written."

they said to themselves, "Don't let us tear it. Let us draw lots to see who gets it" (that the scripture might be fulfilled, they distributed my clothes among them, and drew lots for my raiment). This was what the soldiers did.

Away went Mary of Magdala to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord!" ??telling them what he had said to her.

So, on catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "And what about him, Lord?"

Jesus replied, "If I choose that he should survive till I come back, what does that matter to you? Follow me yourself."

This started the report among the brotherhood that the said disciple was not to die. Jesus, however, did not say he was not to die; what he said was, "If I choose that he should survive till I come back, what does that matter to you?"

Also, as he ate with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father promised ??"for what you have heard me speak of," said he;

They were all amazed and quite at a loss. "What can it mean?" they said to one another.

But Peter stood up along with the eleven, and raising his voice he addressed them thus: "Men of Judaea and residents in Jerusalem, let everyone of you understand this ??attend to what I say:

No, this is what was predicted by the prophet Joel ??17 In the last days, saith God, then will I pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams:

Uplifted then by God's right hand, and receiving from the Father the long-promised holy Spirit, he has poured on us what you now see and hear.)

When they heard this, it went straight to their hearts; they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what are we to do?"

So those who accepted what he said were baptized; about three thousand souls were brought in, that day.

when a man lame from birth was carried past, who used to be laid every day at what was called the 'Beautiful Gate' of the temple, to ask alms from those who entered the temple.

But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but I will give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, [get up and] walk!"

and when they recognized this was the very man who used to sit and beg at the Gate Beautiful, they were lost in awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

As he clung to Peter and John, all the people rushed awestruck to them in what was called Solomon's portico.

Now I know, brothers, that you acted in ignorance, like your rulers ??18 though this was how God fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the lips of all the prophets, namely the sufferings of his Christ.

They made the men stand before them and inquired, "By what authority, in whose name, have you done this?"

"What are we to do with these men?" they said. "It is plain to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem that a miracle has admittedly been worked by them. That we cannot deny.

Certainly we cannot give up speaking of what we have seen and heard."

Then they threatened them still further and let them go; on account of the people they found themselves unable to find any means of punishing them, for everybody was glorifying God over what had happened

On being released they went to their friends and related what the high priests and elders had said;

mustering to carry out what thy hand had traced, thy purpose had decreed.

After an interval of about three hours his wife happened to come in, quite unconscious of what had occurred.

On hearing this the commander of the temple and the high priests were quite at a loss to know what to make of it.

Then he said, "Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.

What God said was this: 'His offspring will sojourn in a foreign land, where they will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.

They told Aaron, 'Make gods that will march in front of us! As for this Moses who led us out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him!'

They actually made a calf in those days, offered sacrifice to this idol, and grew festive over what their own hands had manufactured.

Heaven is my throne, the earth is a footstool for my feet! What house would you build me? saith the Lord. On what spot could I settle?

And the crowds attended like one man to what was said by Philip, listening to him and watching the miracles he performed.

When Philip ran up, he heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. "Do you really understand what you are reading?"

As they travelled on, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water! What is to prevent me being baptized?"

Get up and go into the city. There you will be told what you have to do."

He stared at the angel in terror, saying, "What is it?" He replied, "Your prayers and your alms have risen before God as a sacrifice to be remembered.

A second time the voice came back to him, "What God has cleansed, you must not regard as common."

Then Peter went down to the men, saying, "I am the man you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?"

They said, "Cornelius, a captain, a good man who reverences God and enjoys a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation, was instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house and to listen to what you had to say."

So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Well now, here we are all present before God to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say."

As for what he did in the land of the Jews and of Jerusalem, we can testify to that. They slew him by hanging him on a gibbet,

While Peter was still speaking, the holy Spirit fell upon all who listened to what he said.

But a voice answered me for the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, you must not regard as common.'

And he followed him out, not realizing that what the angel did was real, but imagining that he saw a vision.

Now when day broke there was a great commotion among the soldiers over what could have become of Peter.

Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened; he was astounded at the doctrine of the Lord.

And as John was closing his career he said, 'What do you take me for? I am not He; no, he is coming after me, and I am not fit to untie the sandals on his feet!'

But when the Jews saw the crowds they were filled with jealousy; they began to contradict what Paul said and to abuse him.
