But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

Jesus replied, "Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone when I judge; I am with the Father, who sent Me.

Again He said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."

"I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world."

So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever.

I know you are Abraham's descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

"I do not have a demon," Jesus replied, "but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

Some claimed that he was, but others said, "No, he just looks like him." But the man kept saying, "I am the one."

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was division among them.

But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself."
