I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.”

So his parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

Never before has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.

Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.

This is why the Father loves me – because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.

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

Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.

Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?”

So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”

so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead.

So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept it for the day of my burial.

Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

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

You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and do so correctly, for that is what I am.

For I have given you an example – you should do just as I have done for you.

I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

My Father is honored by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples.

and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
