So they asked John, “Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

Nathanael replied, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip replied, “Come and see.”

He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man.

But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.

“Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?”

Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things, said, “This is a difficult saying! Who can understand it?”

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

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him back with you?”

“Our law doesn’t condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?”

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

His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?”

So again they asked the man who used to be blind, “What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

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?”

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the council together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

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?”

Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!”

“Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”
