“We are descendants of Abraham,” they replied, “and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”

The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?”

You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?”

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.

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

The Jewish leaders replied, “We are not going to stone you for a good deed but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are claiming to be God.”

She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”

I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

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

And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created.

Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!”

Then Pilate said, “So you are a king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world – to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

Jesus said a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” and said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep.

Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”

So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you – a Jew – ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?” (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)

Surely you’re not greater than our ancestor Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock.”
