Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Others said, “These are not the words of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see, can it?”

For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly.

(Jesus spoke these words near the offering box while he was teaching in the temple courts. No one seized him because his time had not yet come.)

The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.”

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.

The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.
