So they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.

For I have not spoken from my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.

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

Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all things over to him, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

There are many dwelling places in my Father’s house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you.

Jesus replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

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.

“I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; a time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

At that time you will ask in my name, and I do not say that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

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

Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men know that you sent me.

So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

“But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete – the deeds I am now doing – testify about me that the Father has sent me.

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.”

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed along with his entire household.

For this reason the Jewish leaders were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.

I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
