I am someone who has told you the truth I heard from God. But you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like that.

Jesus said to them, "If God were really your Father, you would love me. I came from God, and now I am here. I did not come by my own authority. God sent me.

"I am telling you the truth, and that's why you don't believe me.

Can any of you prove that I am guilty of sin? If I tell the truth, why don't you believe me?

I am not trying to get honor for myself. There is one who wants this honor for me. He is the judge.

Jesus answered, "The fact is, before Abraham was born, I Am ."

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Some people said, "Yes! He is the one." But others said, "No, he can't be the same man. He only looks like him." So the man himself said, "I am that same man."

So Jesus said again, "I assure you, I am the gate for the sheep.

I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved. They will be able to come in and go out. They will find everything they need.

"I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

"I am the shepherd who cares for the sheep. I know my sheep just as the Father knows me. And my sheep know me just as I know the Father. I give my life for these sheep.

Jesus answered, "I told you already, but you did not believe. I do miracles in my Father's name. These miracles show who I am.

So why do you accuse me of insulting God for saying, ‘I am God's Son'? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.

But if I do what my Father does, you should believe in what I do. You might not believe in me, but you should believe in the things I do. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

Then Jesus said, "Our friend Lazarus is now sleeping, but I am going there to wake him."

And I am glad I was not there. I am happy for you because now you will believe in me. We will go to him now."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection. I am life. Everyone who believes in me will have life, even if they die.

Whoever serves me must follow me. My servants must be with me everywhere I am. My Father will give honor to anyone who serves me.

"Now I am very troubled. What should I say? Should I say, ‘Father save me from this time of suffering'? No, I came to this time so that I could suffer.
