So the Jewish leaders began to say, “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’”

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

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

But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

I tell you the solemn truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain.
