Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

I and My Father are one.

Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

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

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt.

Then they said to him, "Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

He said: "I am 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of the LORD," ' as the prophet Isaiah said."

Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,

Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?

John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.

This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.

But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.

For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.

Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward."

Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."

Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.

Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.

And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

If you love Me, keep My commandments.

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
