Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 7:19

Jhn 7:19 - Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

Jhn 7:21 - Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 7:26

Jhn 7:26 - Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 7:28

Jhn 7:28 - Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 7:35

Jhn 7:35 - The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Jhn 7:36 - What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,' and ‘Where I am, you cannot come'?”

Jhn 7:37 - On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

Jhn 7:45 - Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn't you bring him in?”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 7:47

Jhn 7:47 - “You mean he has deceived you also?” the Pharisees retorted.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:10

Jhn 8:10 - Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

Jhn 8:11 - “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:14

Jhn 8:14 - Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:16

Jhn 8:16 - But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:17

Jhn 8:17 - In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:18

Jhn 8:18 - I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:19

Jhn 8:19 - Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

Jhn 8:20 - He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

Jhn 8:21 - Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:23

Jhn 8:23 - But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:25

Jhn 8:25 - “Who are you?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:26

Jhn 8:26 - “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:28

Jhn 8:28 - So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[fn] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

Jhn 8:42 - 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; God sent me.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:44

Jhn 8:44 - You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:48

Jhn 8:48 - The Jews answered him, “Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:52

Jhn 8:52 - At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:53

Jhn 8:53 - Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:55

Jhn 8:55 - Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 8:56

Jhn 8:56 - Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:11

Jhn 9:11 - He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”

Jhn 9:14 - Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:15

Jhn 9:15 - Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:16

Jhn 9:16 - Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:18

Jhn 9:18 - They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man's parents.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:19

Jhn 9:19 - “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:25

Jhn 9:25 - He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:27

Jhn 9:27 - He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:28

Jhn 9:28 - Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow's disciple! We are disciples of Moses!

Jhn 9:30 - The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:34

Jhn 9:34 - To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:35

Jhn 9:35 - Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 9:36

Jhn 9:36 - “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:3

Jhn 10:3 - The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:4

Jhn 10:4 - When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:8

Jhn 10:8 - All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:9

Jhn 10:9 - I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[fn] They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

Jhn 10:12 - The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:13

Jhn 10:13 - The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:14

Jhn 10:14 - “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:15

Jhn 10:15 - just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Jhn 10:16 - I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Jhn 10:33 - “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:35

Jhn 10:35 - If he called them ‘gods,' to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:36

Jhn 10:36 - what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God's Son'?

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 10:38

Jhn 10:38 - But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 11:5

Jhn 11:5 - Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

Jhn 11:15 - and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

Jhn 11:19 - and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.

Jhn 11:37 - But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 11:38

Jhn 11:38 - Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 11:45

Jhn 11:45 - Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

Jhn 11:47 - Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 11:48

Jhn 11:48 - If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 11:50

Jhn 11:50 - You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 12:5

Jhn 12:5 - “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages.[fn]”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 12:6

Jhn 12:6 - He 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 help himself to what was put into it.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 12:9

Jhn 12:9 - Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 12:17

Jhn 12:17 - Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
