No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down<n id="1" /> of my own free will.<n id="2" /> I have the authority<n id="3" /> to lay it down, and I have the authority<n id="4" /> to take it back again. This commandment<n id="5" /> I received from my Father.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains<n id="1" /> in me &#8211; and I in him &#8211; bears<n id="2" /> much fruit,<n id="3" /> because apart from me you can accomplish<n id="4" /> nothing.

If I had not performed<n id="1" /> among them the miraculous deeds<n id="2" /> that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.<n id="3" /> But now they have seen the deeds<n id="4" /> and have hated both me and my Father.<n id="5" />

So also you have sorrow<n id="1" /> now, but <i>I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from youi>.<n id="2" />

At that time<n id="1" /> you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.<n id="3" />

When I was with them I kept them safe<n id="1" /> and watched over them<n id="2" /> in your name<n id="3" /> that you have given me. Not one<n id="4" /> of them was lost except the one destined for destruction,<n id="5" /> so that the scripture could be fulfilled.<n id="6" />

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues<n id="2" /> and in the temple courts,<n id="3" /> where all the Jewish people<n id="4" /> assemble together. I<n id="5" /> have said nothing in secret.

<p class="bodytext">Pilate told them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Take him yourselves and pass judgment on him<n id="2" /> according to your own law!&#8221;<n id="3" /> The Jewish leaders<n id="4" /> replied,<n id="5" /> &#8220;We cannot legally put anyone to death.&#8221;<n id="6" />

Pilate asked,<n id="1" /> &#8220;What is truth?&#8221;<n id="2" />p> <p class="bodytext">When he had said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders<n id="3" /> and announced,<n id="4" /> &#8220;I find no basis for an accusation<n id="5" /> against him.

Jesus replied, &#8220;You would have no authority<n id="1" /> over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you<n id="2" /> is guilty of greater sin.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Simon Peter told them, &#8220;I am going fishing.&#8221; &#8220;We will go with you,&#8221; they replied.<n id="1" /> They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.p>

&#8220;Come, have breakfast,&#8221; Jesus said.<n id="1" /> But none of the disciples dared to ask him, &#8220;Who are you?&#8221; because they knew it was the Lord.

came to Jesus<n id="1" /> at night<n id="2" /> and said to him, &#8220;Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs<n id="3" /> that you do unless God is with him.&#8221;

<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" />
