“I have many more things to say to you, ¹  but you cannot bear ²  them now.

If those people to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’ (and the scripture cannot be broken), ¹ 

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it that its deeds are evil.

Why don’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept ¹  my teaching. ² 

So the Jewish leaders ¹  began to say, ²  “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’”
