How can you believe who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that comes from God alone? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me. read more.
But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

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? read more.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. The Father who dwells in me, he does the works. Believe me, that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me. If not, believe me on account of the works themselves.


Henceforth the Son of man shall sit on the right hand of the power of God. And they all said: You are, then, the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am.


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.


If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from this time you know him, and have seen him. Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be content. Jesus said to him: Have I been so long with you, and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father? read more.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. The Father who dwells in me, he does the works.

Then the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: He has spoken impiously; what further need have we of witnesses? See now, you have heard his impious words:

You have heard his impious speech. What think you? They all condemned him to be a subject of death.

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,) read more.
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?

Jesus said to him: Have I been so long with you, and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father?

Jesus spoke these words, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: Father, the hour has come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son may also glorify thee; as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. read more.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, Father, glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have made known thy name to the men that thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them, to me, and they have kept thy word. Now they know that all things that thou hast given me are from thee; for the words which thou gavest me I have given them; and they have received them, and they know surely that I came forth from thee, and they believe that thou didst send me. I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me, I have kept; and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the Evil One. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, so I send them into the world; and for them I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth. I pray, not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou ID me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


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.

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.

I was daily with you in the temple, and taught, and you did not take me; but this is so, that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

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.

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. 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. read more.
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.


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.

Therefore, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to those who believe not: but prophecy is not for those who believe not, but for those who believe.


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.

Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,

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. 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.

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.

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.
