<p class="bodytext">Jesus answered,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Is it not written in your law, &#8216;<b><i>I said, you are godsi>b>&#8217;?<n id="2" />

If those people to whom the word of God came were called &#8216;gods&#8217; (and the scripture cannot be broken),<n id="1" />

But some of them said, &#8220;This is the man who caused the blind man to see!<n id="1" /> Couldn&#8217;t he have done something to keep Lazarus<n id="2" /> from dying?&#8221;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" />

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;

(Now Judas<n id="1" /> said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box,<n id="2" /> he used to steal what was put into it.)<n id="3" />

Thus the Pharisees<n id="1" /> said to one another, &#8220;You see that you can do nothing. Look, the world has run off after him!&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Nevertheless, even among the rulers<n id="1" /> many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees<n id="2" /> they would not confess Jesus to be the Christ,<n id="3" /> so that they would not be put out of<n id="4" /> the synagogue.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">But Jesus shouted out,<n id="1" /> &#8220;The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,<n id="2" />

For I have not spoken from my own authority,<n id="1" /> but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me<n id="2" /> what I should say and what I should speak.

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;You do not understand<n id="2" /> what I am doing now, but you will understand<n id="3" /> after these things.&#8221;

I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> the slave<n id="2" /> is not greater than his master, nor is the one who is sent as a messenger<n id="3" /> greater than the one who sent him.

<p class="bodytext">Simon Peter said to him, &#8220;Lord, where are you going?&#8221; Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.&#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" />

Jesus answered, &#8220;Will you lay down your life for me?<n id="1" /> I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!p>

<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;

I will not speak with you much longer,<n id="1" /> for the ruler of this world is coming.<n id="2" /> He has no power over me,<n id="3" />

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it,<n id="1" /> so that your joy may be complete.p>

At that time<n id="1" /> you will ask in my name, and I do not say<n id="2" /> that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
