Then some of the residents of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, “This really is the Prophet!”

Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me?

Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father – and yet you dishonor me.

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

So his parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

Never before has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.

Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.

This is why the Father loves me – because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.

If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.

Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.

Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?”

So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”

so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead.

So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept it for the day of my burial.

Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus replied, “You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”
