It is written in the prophets, &#8216;<b><i>And they will all be taught by Godi>b>.&#8217;<n id="1" /> Everyone who hears and learns from the Father<n id="2" /> comes to me.

So Jesus added,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">So then they tried to seize Jesus,<n id="1" /> but no one laid a hand on him, because his time<n id="2" /> had not yet come.

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>

Others said, &#8220;This is the Christ!&#8221;<n id="1" /> But still others said, &#8220;No,<n id="2" /> for the Christ doesn&#8217;t come from Galilee, does he?<n id="3" />

Don&#8217;t the scriptures say that the Christ is <i>a descendanti><n id="1" /> <i>of Davidi><n id="2" /> and <i>comes from Bethlehemi>,<n id="3" /> the village where David lived?&#8221;<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then the officers<n id="1" /> returned<n id="2" /> to the chief priests and Pharisees,<n id="3" /> who said to them, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you bring him back with you?&#8221;<n id="4" />

Early in the morning he came to the temple courts again. All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teach<n id="1" /> them.

(Jesus<n id="1" /> spoke these words near the offering box<n id="2" /> while he was teaching in the temple courts.<n id="3" /> No one seized him because his time<n id="4" /> had not yet come.)<n id="5" />p>

So the Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> began to say,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, &#8216;Where I am going you cannot come.&#8217;&#8221;

We must perform the deeds<n id="1" /> of the one who sent me<n id="2" /> as long as<n id="3" /> it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.

Many<n id="1" /> came to him and began to say, &#8220;John<n id="2" /> performed<n id="3" /> no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man<n id="4" /> was true!&#8221;

She replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Yes, Lord, I believe<n id="2" /> that you are the Christ,<n id="3" /> the Son of God who comes into the world.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

<t /><p class="bodytext">Jesus, intensely moved<n id="1" /> again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then many of the people,<n id="1" /> who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus<n id="2" /> did, believed in him.

If we allow him to go on in this way,<n id="1" /> everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary<n id="2" /> and our nation.&#8221;p>

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;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he<n id="1" /> had raised from the dead.

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness.
