They<n id="1" /> will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.<n id="2" />

Yet here he is, speaking publicly,<n id="1" /> and they are saying nothing to him.<n id="2" /> Do the rulers really know that this man<n id="3" /> is the Christ?<n id="4" />

Jesus told them this parable,<n id="1" /> but they<n id="2" /> did not understand<n id="3" /> what he was saying to them.p>

Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men<n id="1" /> know that you sent me.

(His disciples did not understand these things when they first happened,<n id="1" /> but when Jesus was glorified,<n id="2" /> then they remembered that these things were written about him and that these things had happened<n id="3" /> to him.)<n id="4" />p>

because I have given them the words you have given me. They<n id="1" /> accepted<n id="2" /> them<n id="3" /> and really<n id="4" /> understand<n id="5" /> that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
