Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

…and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

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.”

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

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

“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”

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

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

My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

“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.”

And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

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

The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.

Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.

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

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,

They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”

Meanwhile, many people who had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.

Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.

And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.

As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the very end.

He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”

For He knew who would betray Him. That is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”

Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”

Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.

I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.

But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”

“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”

Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”

So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.

The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

“Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.

Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”

This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”

“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.

This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

…praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.

…they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

…that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,

On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.

“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
