No one has ever seen God. The only one,<n id="1" /> himself God, who is in closest fellowship with<n id="2" /> the Father, has made God<n id="3" /> known.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus<n id="1" /> before and who was one of the rulers,<n id="2" /> said,<n id="3" />

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God &#8211; he<n id="1" /> has seen the Father.)<n id="2" />

Yet many of the crowd<n id="1" /> believed in him and said, &#8220;Whenever the Christ<n id="2" /> comes, he won&#8217;t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

The one who belongs to<n id="1" /> God listens and responds<n id="2" /> to God&#8217;s words. You don&#8217;t listen and respond,<n id="3" /> because you don&#8217;t belong to God.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

He replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing &#8211; that although I was blind, now I can see.&#8221;

The Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;We are not going to stone you for a good deed<n id="3" /> but for blasphemy,<n id="4" /> because<n id="5" /> you, a man, are claiming to be God.&#8221;<n id="6" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;You know nothing at all!

(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" />

<p class="bodytext">So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it.<n id="1" />

I am praying<n id="1" /> on behalf of them. I am not praying<n id="2" /> on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.<n id="3" />

Nicodemus said to him, &#8220;How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother&#8217;s womb and be born a second time, can he?&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">The one who comes from above is superior to all.<n id="1" /> The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things.<n id="2" /> The one who comes from heaven<n id="3" /> is superior to all.<n id="4" />

So the Samaritan woman said to him, &#8220;How can you &#8211; a Jew<n id="1" /> &#8211; ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water<n id="2" /> to drink?&#8221; (For Jews use nothing in common<n id="3" /> with Samaritans.)<n id="4" />p>

The hired hand,<n id="1" /> who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons<n id="2" /> the sheep and runs away.<n id="3" /> So the wolf attacks<n id="4" /> the sheep and scatters them.

Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever they needed for the feast,<n id="1" /> or to give something to the poor.)<n id="2" />

Then Pilate said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;So you are a king!&#8221; Jesus replied, &#8220;You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world &#8211; to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to<n id="2" /> my voice.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders<n id="1" />),<n id="2" /> asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate<n id="3" /> gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.<n id="4" />
