But

But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

…but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.

But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”

But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.

But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.

Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

…but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

A slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”

We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”

“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.

But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.

But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”

“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”

At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.

But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”

After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”

They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.

…and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.

But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”

I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

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

But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

…and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.

But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,

Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”

Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.

But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.

Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
