For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.

and said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,

nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.

So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.”

Hasn’t Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill me?”

However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child on the Sabbath.

Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus replied, “What I have told you from the beginning.

Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth, everyone who practices sin is a slave of sin.

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you want to kill me, because my teaching makes no progress among you.

But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.”

He answered, “I told you already and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”

“I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?”

You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”

Thus they were looking for Jesus, and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he won’t come to the feast?”

I tell you the solemn truth, the slave is not greater than his master, nor is the one who is sent as a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

I tell you the solemn truth, whoever accepts the one I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
