But the man who had been healed did not know who it was. There were many people there, and Jesus had left.

Later, Jesus found the man at the Temple and said to him, "See, you are well now. But stop sinning or something worse may happen to you!"

But he said to them, "My Father never stops working, and so I work too."

But Jesus answered, "I assure you that the Son can do nothing alone. He does only what he sees his Father doing. The Son does the same things that the Father does.

The Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does. This man was healed. But the Father will show the Son greater things than this to do. Then you will all be amazed.

Then they will come out of their graves. Those who did good in this life will rise and have eternal life. But those who did evil will rise to be judged guilty.

But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.

I don't need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved.

"But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me.

And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like.

But you refuse to come to me to have that life.

But I know you—I know that you have no love for God.

I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don't accept me. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them.

You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?

But you don't believe what he wrote, so you can't believe what I say."

"Here is a boy with five loaves of barley bread and two little fish. But that is not enough for so many people."

So they gathered up the pieces that were left. The people had started eating with only five loaves of barley bread. But the followers filled twelve large baskets with the pieces of food that were left.

But he said to them, "Don't be afraid. It's me."

But then some boats from Tiberias came and landed near the place where the people had eaten the day before. This was where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

But earthly food spoils and ruins. So don't work to get that kind of food. But work to get the food that stays good and gives you eternal life. The Son of Man will give you that food. He is the only one qualified by God the Father to give it to you."
