So if the Son frees you, you will really be free!

The Judeans said to him, "Now we know for sure that you have a demon! Avraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘Whoever obeys my teaching will never taste death.'

Yeshua answered, "His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God's power might be seen at work in him.

and said to him, "Go, wash off in the Pool of Shiloach!" (The name means "sent.") So he went and washed and came away seeing.

He answered, "The man called Yeshua made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Shiloach and wash!' So I went; and as soon as I had washed, I could see."

The hired worker behaves like this because that's all he is, a hired worker; so it doesn't matter to him what happens to the sheep.

So the Judeans surrounded him and said to him, "How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly!"

But if I am, then, even if you don't trust me, trust the deeds; so that you may understand once and for all that the Father is united with me, and I am united with the Father."

So the sisters sent a message to Yeshua, "Lord, the man you love is sick."

On hearing it, he said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may receive glory through it."
