And the feast of the dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was winter: and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. read more.
Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void,) do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. Then they sought again to take him, but he escaped from their hands.

Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing. Verse ConceptsJews, TheSecrecyAvoiding SecrecyChrist TeachingChrist In The TempleChrist SpeakingThings Manifest

And they came again into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders, and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things? And Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. read more.
Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him? But if we say, From men, they feared the people; for all regarded John as a prophet indeed. And they answered and said to Jesus: We do not know. And Jesus answering, said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus, as he was teaching in the temple, answered and said: How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. David himself, then, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the great multitude heard him with pleasure. read more.
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers; who eat up the houses of widows, and, as a pretext, make long prayers: these shall receive more abundant condemnation. And Jesus, sitting opposite the treasury, observed how the multitude threw money into the treasury. And many rich persons threw in much. And there came one poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury. For all have thrown in out of their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has thrown in all that she had, her whole living.

After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health. And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath. read more.
But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work.

Now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews were astonished, and said: How has this man a knowledge of letters, having never been taught? Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. read more.
If any one will do his will, he shall know with respect to the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself. He who speaks of himself, seeks his own glory; he who seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and not one of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said: You have a demon: who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them: I have done one work, and you are all astonished on account of this. Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I have restored the entire man to health on the sabbath-day? Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of the men of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? and, lo, he is speaking boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers really learned that this is the Christ? But we know this man, whence he is. But when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. Then Jesus cried out in the temple, as he was teaching, and said: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you know not.

But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came to him from the magnificent glory a voice, such as this: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight. And this voice, which came from heaven, we heard when we were with him in the holy mount;

And Peter answered and said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo, a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight; hear him.

And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. For he knew not what to say, for they were greatly afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them; and a voice came from the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said. While he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid as those men entered the cloud. And there came a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.

that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him. Verily, verily I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself; and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not worthy of credit. There is another that testifies concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies concerning me is worthy of credit. You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man; yet I say these things that you may be saved. He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light. But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me. And the Father, who sent me, has testified concerning me. You have, neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And his word you have not remaining in you; for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

Then the Pharisees said to him: You testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not worthy of credit. Jesus answered and said to them: Though I testify concerning myself, my testimony is worthy of credit; for I know whence I came, and whither I go. But you know not whence I came, and whither I go. You judge according to the flesh; I judge no man. read more.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. It is also written in your law, The testimony of two is worthy of credit. I am one that testify concerning myself, and the Father who sent me, testifies of me.

Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: read more.
and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand.

But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come that the Son of man must be glorified. Verily, verily I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it produces much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life. read more.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any one serve me, him will my Father honor. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this purpose came I to this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice from heaven: I have glorified it, and will glorify it again. Then the multitude that stood by and heard it, said: It thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him. Jesus answered and said: This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and by blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood: and it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that testify, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; read more.
and the three agree in one. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God, which he has borne concerning his Son.
