“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.

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

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?”

They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” Mary replied, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!”

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

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Because she thought he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.”

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

Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, “What do you want?” So they said to him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), “where are you staying?”

What did he mean by saying, ‘You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come’?”

But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see. Ask him, he is a mature adult. He will speak for himself.”

“Now my soul is greatly distressed. And what should I say? ‘Father, deliver me from this hour’? No, but for this very reason I have come to this hour.
