I testify about myself<n id="1" /> and the Father who sent me testifies about me.&#8221;p>

Jesus answered, &#8220;I am not possessed by a demon,<n id="1" /> but I honor my Father &#8211; and yet<n id="2" /> you dishonor me.

I am not trying to get<n id="1" /> praise for myself.<n id="2" /> There is one who demands<n id="3" /> it, and he also judges.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">So Jesus said to them again, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> I am the door for the sheep.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I am the good shepherd. I<n id="1" /> know my own<n id="2" /> and my own know me &#8211;

This is why the Father loves me<n id="1" /> &#8211; because I lay down my life,<n id="2" /> so that I may take it back again.

I am telling you this now,<n id="1" /> before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe<n id="2" /> that I am he.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;I am the true vine<n id="1" /> and my Father is the gardener.<n id="2" />

I glorified you on earth by completing<n id="1" /> the work you gave me to do.<n id="2" />

So when Jesus<n id="1" /> said to them, &#8220;I am he,&#8221; they retreated<n id="2" /> and fell to the ground.<n id="3" />

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I told you that I am he. If you are looking for<n id="2" /> me, let these men<n id="3" /> go.&#8221;<n id="4" />

So he said, &#8220;Who are you, Lord?&#8221; He replied, &#8220;I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!

But get up,<n id="1" /> go down, and accompany them without hesitation,<n id="2" /> because I have sent them.&#8221;

But Peter helped him up,<n id="1" /> saying, &#8220;Stand up. I too am a mere mortal.&#8221;<n id="2" />

that this promise<n id="1" /> God has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising<n id="2" /> Jesus, as also it is written in the second psalm, &#8216;<b><i>You are my Son;i>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>today I have fathered youi>b>.&#8217;<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore I conclude<n id="1" /> that we should not cause extra difficulty<n id="2" /> for those among the Gentiles<n id="3" /> who are turning to God,

I know that after I am gone<n id="1" /> fierce wolves<n id="2" /> will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

When his accusers stood up, they did not charge<n id="1" /> him with any of the evil deeds I had suspected.<n id="2" />

Of course,<n id="1" /> I myself was convinced<n id="2" /> that it was necessary to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

I will rescue<n id="1" /> you from your own people<n id="2" /> and from the Gentiles, to whom<n id="3" /> I am sending you
