&#8220;Our law doesn&#8217;t condemn<n id="1" /> a man unless it first hears from him and learns<n id="2" /> what he is doing, does it?&#8221;<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">So they said to him, &#8220;Who are you?&#8221; Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;What I have told you from the beginning.

You aren&#8217;t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you?<n id="1" /> And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?&#8221;

His disciples asked him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man<n id="2" /> or his parents?&#8221;<n id="3" />

So again they asked the man who used to be blind,<n id="1" /> &#8220;What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?&#8221;<n id="2" /> &#8220;He is a prophet,&#8221; the man replied.<n id="3" />p>

He answered,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I told you already and you didn&#8217;t listen.<n id="2" /> Why do you want to hear it<n id="3" /> again? You people<n id="4" /> don&#8217;t want to become his disciples too, do you?&#8221;p>

Jesus told them this parable,<n id="1" /> but they<n id="2" /> did not understand<n id="3" /> what he was saying to them.p>

So the chief priests and the Pharisees<n id="1" /> called the council<n id="2" /> together and said, &#8220;What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

Thus they were looking for Jesus,<n id="1" /> and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What do you think? That he won&#8217;t come to the feast?&#8221;

Peter said to him, &#8220;Lord, why can&#8217;t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!&#8221;<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Lord,&#8221; Judas (not Judas Iscariot)<n id="1" /> said,<n id="2" /> &#8220;what has happened that you are going to reveal<n id="3" /> yourself to us and not to the world?&#8221;

Pilate answered, &#8220;I am not a Jew, am I?<n id="1" /> Your own people<n id="2" /> and your chief priests handed you over<n id="3" /> to me. What have you done?&#8221;p>

They said<n id="1" /> to her, &#8220;Woman,<n id="2" /> why are you weeping?&#8221; Mary replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!&#8221;

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If I want him to live<n id="2" /> until I come back,<n id="3" /> what concern is that of yours? You follow me!&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Jesus said to her, &#8220;Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?&#8221; Because she<n id="1" /> thought he was the gardener, she said to him, &#8220;Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> this was<n id="2" /> John&#8217;s<n id="3" /> testimony<n id="4" /> when the Jewish leaders<n id="5" /> sent<n id="6" /> priests and Levites from Jerusalem<n id="7" /> to ask him, &#8220;Who are you?&#8221;<n id="8" />

Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, &#8220;What do you want?&#8221;<n id="1" /> So they said to him, &#8220;Rabbi&#8221; (which is translated Teacher),<n id="2" /> &#8220;where are you staying?&#8221;

What did he mean by saying,<n id="1" /> &#8216;You will look for me<n id="2" /> but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come&#8217;?&#8221;p>

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;

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Now my soul is greatly distressed. And what should I say? &#8216;Father, deliver me<n id="1" /> from this hour&#8217;?<n id="2" /> No, but for this very reason I have come to this hour.<n id="3" />
