When he has brought all his own sheep<n id="1" /> out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize<n id="2" /> his voice.

The Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;We are not going to stone you for a good deed<n id="3" /> but for blasphemy,<n id="4" /> because<n id="5" /> you, a man, are claiming to be God.&#8221;<n id="6" />p>

<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" />

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;

(Now Jesus had been talking about<n id="1" /> his death, but they<n id="2" /> thought he had been talking about real sleep.)<n id="3" />p>

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>

So they took away<n id="1" /> the stone. Jesus looked upward<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.<n id="3" />

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.

You do not realize<n id="1" /> that it is more to your advantage to have one man<n id="2" /> die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.&#8221;<n id="3" />

(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;

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>

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.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life.<n id="1" /> Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">When he had said these things, Jesus was greatly distressed<n id="1" /> in spirit, and testified,<n id="2" /> &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="3" /> one of you will betray me.&#8221;<n id="4" />

There are many dwelling places<n id="1" /> in my Father&#8217;s house.<n id="2" /> Otherwise, I would have told you, because<n id="3" /> I am going away to make ready<n id="4" /> a place for you.<n id="5" />

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me,<n id="1" /> believe because of the miraculous deeds<n id="2" /> themselves.

In a little while<n id="1" /> the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

You will know at that time<n id="1" /> that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

<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;
