(Now he did not say this on his own,<n id="1" /> but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,<n id="2" />

The person who speaks on his own authority<n id="1" /> desires<n id="2" /> to receive honor<n id="3" /> for himself; the one who desires<n id="4" /> the honor<n id="5" /> of the one who sent him is a man of integrity,<n id="6" /> and there is no unrighteousness in him.

But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see.<n id="1" /> Ask him, he is a mature adult.<n id="2" /> He will speak for himself.&#8221;

Remain<n id="1" /> in me, and I will remain in you.<n id="2" /> Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,<n id="3" /> unless it remains<n id="4" /> in<n id="5" /> the vine, so neither can you unless you remain<n id="6" /> in me.p>

But when he,<n id="1" /> the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide<n id="2" /> you into all truth.<n id="3" /> For he will not speak on his own authority,<n id="4" /> but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you<n id="5" /> what is to come.<n id="6" />

<p class="bodytext">So Jesus answered them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> the Son can do nothing on his own initiative,<n id="3" /> but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father<n id="4" /> does, the Son does likewise.<n id="5" />
