And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do those things that please him.”

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

We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.

Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”

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.

They asked the parents, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

He replied, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing – that although I was blind, now I can see.”

“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.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.”

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.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.

Now this is eternal life – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”

And the person who saw it has testified (and his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth), so that you also may believe.

Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.
