  Speaker 1: The Gospel according to John John chapter one, in the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and the Word was God, and he was with God
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. Through him, all things were made. Without him,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: nothing was made that has been made. In him was life,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and that life was the light of all mankind. The
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: name was John. He came as a witness to testify
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: He himself was not the light. He came only as
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a witness to the light. The true light that gives
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: light to every one was coming into the world. He
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was in the world, And though the world was made
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: through him, the world did not recognize him. He came
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to that which was his own, but his own did
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to those who believed in his name, he gave the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: right to become children of God, children born not of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but born of God. The Word became flesh and made
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory. The
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: glory of the one and only Son who came from
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the Father, full of grace and truth. John testified concerning him.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He cried out, saying, this is the one I spoke
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: about when I said, he who comes after me has
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: surpassed me because he was before me. Out of his fullness.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We have all.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Received grace in place of grace already given. For the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: one and only Son, who is himself God and is
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in the closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. Now,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this was John's testimony. When the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: sent priests and levites to ask him who he was,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he did not fail to confess, but confessed freely. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: am not the Messiah. They asked him, then, who are you?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the Prophet? He answered no. Finally, they said, who are you?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Give us an answer to take back to those who
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: sent us. What do you say about yourself? John replied,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in the words of Isiah the Prophet, I am the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: voice of one calling in the wilderness, make straight the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: way for the Lord. Now the Pharisees who had been
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sent questioned him, why then do you baptize if you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: are not the Messiah, nor Elijah nor the Prophet. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: baptize with water. John replied, but among you stands one
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you do not know. He is the one who comes
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: worthy to untie. This all happened at Bethany, on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: The next day.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: John saw Jesus coming towards him and said, look, the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: This is the one I meant when I said, a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: man who comes after me has surpassed me because he
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was before me. I myself did not know him, But
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the reason I came baptizing with water was that he
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: might be revealed to Israel. Then John gave this testimony.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: dove and remain on him, and I myself did not
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: know him. But the one who sent me to baptize
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with water told me. The man on whom you see
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the Spirit come down and remain is the one who
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: will baptize with the Holy Spirit. I have seen and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I testify that this is God's chosen one. The next day,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: John was there again with two of his disciples. When
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: he saw Jesus passing by, he said, look the lamb
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of God. When the two disciples heard him say this,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they followed Jesus. Turning round, Jesus saw them follow and asked,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what do you want. They said, rabbi, which means teacher,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: where are you staying? Come, he replied, and you will see.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So they went and saw where he was staying, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: they spent that day with him. It was about four
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Andrew, Simon, Peter's brother, was one of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the two who heard what John had said and who
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: find his brother Simon and tell him we have found
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the Messiah, that is the Christ, and he brought.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Him to Jesus. Jesus looked at.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Him and said, you are Simon, son of John. You
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: will be called Cephas, which when translated is Peter. The
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he said to him follow me. Philip, like Andrew and Peter,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was from the town of Bethsayd. Philip found Nathaniel and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: told him, we have found the one Moses wrote about
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph Nazareth. Can anything
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: good come from there? Nathaniel asked, Come and see, said Philip.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching, he said of him, here
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: How do you know me, Nathaniel asked. Jesus answered, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: saw you while you were still under the fig tree
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: before Philip called you. Then Nathaniel declared, Rabbi, you are
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the son of God. You are the King of Israel.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, you believe because I told you I saw
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you under the fig tree.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: You'll see greater things than that. He then added, very truly,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I tell you, you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Will see Heaven open and the angels of God ascending
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and descending. On the Son of Man John chapter two.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: On the third day, a wedding took place at Cana
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in Galilee. Jesus's mother was there, and Jesus and his
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: wine was gone. Jesus's mother said to him, they have
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: no more wine. Woman, why do you involve me. Jesus replied,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: my hour has not yet come. His mother said to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the servants, do whatever he tells you. Near By stood
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: for ceremonial washing, each holding from eighty to a hundred
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and twenty liters. Jesus said to the servants, filled the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: jars with water, so they filled them to the brim.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Then he told them, now draw some out and take
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it to the master of the banquet. They did so,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and the master of the banquet tasted the water that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: had been turned into wine. He didn't realize where it
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: had come from, though the servants who had drawn the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But you have saved the best till now. What Jesus
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the signs through which he revealed his glory, and his
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: disciples believed in him. After this, he went down to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Capernium with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they stayed for a few days. When it was almost
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: time for the Jewish passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: In the temple courts, he found people selling cattle, sheep
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: he made a whip out of cords and drove all
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He scattered
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the coins of the money changes and overturned their tables.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: To those who sold doves, he said, get these out
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of here. Stop turning my father's house into a market.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: His disciples remembered that it is written zeal for your
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: house will consume me. The Jews then responded to him,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: what sign can you show us to prove your authority
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to do all this? Jesus answered them, destroy this temple
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and I will raise it again in three days. They replied,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it has taken forty six years to build this temple,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and you are going to raise it in three days.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: After he he was raised from the dead, his disciples
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: recalled what he had said.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Then they believed the Scripture and.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: The words that Jesus had spoken. Now, while he was
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, many people saw the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: signs he was performing and believed in his name. But
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus would not intrust himself to them, for he knew
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: all people. He did not need any testimony about mankind,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: for he knew what was in each person. John chapter three.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Now there was a pharisee, a man named Nicodemus, who
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to Jesus at night and said, Rabbi, we know that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you are a teacher who has come from God, for
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: no one could perform the signs you are doing if
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: God were not with him. Jesus replied, very truly, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: unless they are born again. How can someone be born
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: when they are old, Nicodemus asked, surely they cannot enter
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a second time into their mother's womb to be born.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, very truly, I tell you, no one can
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: water and the spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: surprised at my saying you must be born again. The
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear it sound, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you cannot tell where it comes from or where it
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is going. So it is with every one born of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the spirit.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: How can this be?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Nicodemus asked, you are Israel's teacher, said Jesus, and do
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you not understand these things? Very truly, I tell you,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: we speak of what we know, and we testify to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: what we have seen. But still you people do not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and you do not believe. How then will you believe
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if I speak of heavenly things. No one has ever
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: be lifted up that every one who believes may have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: eternal life in him. For God so loved the world
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that he gave his one an only son, that whoever
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: For God did not send his son into the world
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: in the name of God's one and only son.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: This is the verdict. Light has come into the world.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: But people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: were evil. Every One who does evil hates the light
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and will not come into the light for fear that
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: truth comes into the light, so that it may be
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: seen plainly that what they have done has been done
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: in the sight of God. After this, Jesus and his
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: some time with them and baptized. Now John also was
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: baptizing at Enon near Salem, because there was plenty of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: water and people were coming and being baptized. This was
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: before John was put in prison. An argument developed between
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: matter of ceremonial washing. They came to John and said
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to him, Rabbi, that man who is with you on
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the other side of the Jordan, the one you testified about. Look,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him. To this,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: John replied, a person can receive only what is given
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: them from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I am not the Messiah, but am sent ahead of him.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice that joy
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I must become less. The one who comes from above
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: is above all. The one who is from earth belongs
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to the earth and speaks as one from the earth.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: The one who comes from heaven is above all. He
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: one accepts his testimony. Whoever has accepted it has certified
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that God is truthful. For the one whom God has
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: sent speaks the words of God. For God gives the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: spirit without limit. The Father loves the Son and has
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: has eternal life. But whoever rejects the Son will not
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: see life, for God's wrath remains on them. John chapter
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: four now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, although
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in fact it was not Jesus who baptized but his disciples.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Now he had to go through Samaria, so he came
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to a town in Samaria called Sycha, near the plot
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the journey, sat down by the well. It was about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: noon when a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: said to her, will you give me a drink? His
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: disciples had gone into the town to buy food. The
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Samaritan woman said to him, you are a Jew and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: for a drink? For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered her, if you knew the gift of God
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and who it is that asks you for a drink,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you would have asked him and he would have given
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you living water.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Sir.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: The woman said, you have nothing to draw with, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the well and drank from it himself, as did also
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: his sons and his live stock. Jesus answered, every one
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the water I give them will become in them a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: spring of water welling up to eternal life. The woman
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: said to him, Sir, give me this water so that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to draw water. He told her, go call your husband
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and come back. I have no husband, she replied. Jesus
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: said to her, you are right when you say you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: have no husband. The fact is you have had five husbands,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and the man you now have is not your husband.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: What you have just said is quite true, sir. The
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: woman said, I can see that you are a prophet.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Woman Jesus replied, believe me, a time is coming when
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you will worship the Father, neither on this mountain nor
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: We worship what we do know, for salvation is from
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: spirit and in truth, For they are the kind of worshippers.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: The Father seeks God is spirit, and his worshippers must
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: worship in the spirit and in truth. The woman said,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I know that Messiah called Christ is coming. When he comes,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: he will explain everything to us. Then Jesus declared, I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the one speaking to you. I am he. Just then
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: with a woman. But no one asked what do you
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: want or why are you talking with her? Then, leaving
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: her water jar, the woman went back to the town
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and said to the people, come see a man who
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: told me everything I've ever done? Could this be the Messiah?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: They came out of the town and made their way
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: towards him. Meanwhile, his disciples urged him, Rabbi, eat something,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: but he said to them, I have food to eat
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that you know nothing about. The Then his disciples said
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to each other, could someone have brought him food?
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: My food?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Said Jesus is to do the will of him who
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: sent me, and to finish his work. Don't you have
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a saying it's still four months until harvest. I tell you,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: open your eyes and look at the fields. They are
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: ripe for harvest.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Even now.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: The one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying one sows
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and another reaps is true. I sent you to reap
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: what you have not worked for. Others have done the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Many of the Samaritans from that town believes in him
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: because of the woman's testimony. He told me everything I've
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: ever done. So when the Samaritans came to him, they
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and because of his words, many more became believers. They
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: said to the woman, we no longer believe just because
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: of what you said. Now we've heard for ourselves, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: we know that this man really is the savior of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: After the two days he left for Galilee.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: no honor in his own country. When he arrived in Galilee,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: had done in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, for they
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: also had been there.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Once more.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: He visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: water into wine, And there was a certain royal official
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: whose son lay ill at Capernaum. When this man heard
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to him and begged him to come and heal his son,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: who was close to death. Unless you people see signs
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and wonders, Jesus told him, you will never believe. The
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: royal official said, sir, come down before my child dies.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Go.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, your son will live. The man took Jesus
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: at his word and departed. While he was still on
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the way, his servants met him with the news that
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: his boy was living. When he inquired as to the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: time when his son got better, they said to him yesterday,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: at one in the afternoon.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: The fever left him.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Then the father realized that this was the exact time
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: at which Jesus had said to him, your son will live.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So he and his whole household believed this was the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: John chapter five. Some time later, Jesus went up to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Aramaic is called Befesda, and which is surrounded by five
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to lie the blind the lane. The paralyzed one who
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: was there had been an invalid for thirty eight years.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: had been in this condition for a long time, he
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: asked him, do you want to get well?
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Sir?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: The invalid replied, I have no one to help me
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: into the pool. When the water is stirred, while I
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: am trying to get in, some one else goes down
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: ahead of me. Then Jesus said to him, get up,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: pick up your mat, and walk. At once the man
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: was cured. He picked up his mate and walked. The
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: day on which this took place was a sabbath, And
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: been healed, it is the sabbath. The law forbids you
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to carry your mat, But he replied, the man who
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: made me well said to me, pick up your mat
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and walk. So they asked him, who is this fellow
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: who told you to pick it up and walk. The
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: man who was healed had no idea who it was,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. Later,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus found him at the temple and said to him,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: see you are well again. Stop sinning, or something worse
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: may happen to you. The man went away and told
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: him well. So, because Jesus was doing these things on
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. In
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: his defense, Jesus said to them, my father is always
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: at his work to this very day, and I.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Too am working.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: For this reason, they tried all the more to kill him.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: even calling God his own father, making himself equal with God.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus gave them this answer. Very truly, I tell you,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the son can do nothing by himself. He can only
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: do what he sees his father doing. Because whatever the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: father does, the son also does, For the Father loves
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the son and shows him all he does. Yes, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: he will show him even greater works than these, so
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: that you will be amazed. For just as the Father
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: raises the dead and gives them life, even so the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to the Son, that all may honor the son, just
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the son,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: does not honor the Father who sent him. Very truly,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: but has crossed over from death to life. Very truly,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I tell you a time is coming and has now come,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: when the dead will hear the voice of the Son
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of God, and those who hear will live. For as
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the Father has life in himself, so he has granted
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the Son also to have life in himself, and he
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: has given him authority to judge, because he is the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, for
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: a time is coming when all who are in their
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: graves will hear his voice and come out those who
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: have done what is good will rise to live, and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: those who have done what is evil will rise to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: be condemned. By myself, I can do nothing. I judge
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I seek not to please myself, but him who sent me.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: There is another who testifies in my favor, and I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: know that his testimony about me is true. You have
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: sent John, and he has testified to the truth. Not
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that I accept human testimony, but I mention it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: That you may be saved.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you chose for a time to enjoy his light. I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: have testimony weightier than that of John for the works
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that the Father has given me to finish. The very
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: works that I am doing. Testify that the Father has
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: sent me, And the Father who sent me has himself
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice, nor
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: for you do not believe the one he sent. You
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: study the scriptures diligently, because you think that in them
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you have eternal life. These are the very scriptures that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to have life.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I do not.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Accept glory from human beings. But I know you. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: know that you do not have the love of God
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: in your hearts. I have come in my Father's name,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and you do not accept me. But if some one
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: How can you believe? Since you accept glory from one another,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: but do not seek the glory that comes from the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: only God. But do not think I will accuse you
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: for he wrote about me. But since you do not
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: what I say? John chapter six. Some time after this,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: that is the Sea of Tiberias, and a great crowd
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: of people followed him because they saw the signs he
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: had performed by healing those who were ill. Then Jesus
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: The Jewish Passover festival was near. When Jesus looked up
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and saw a great crowd coming towards him. He said
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to Philip, where shall we buy bread for these people
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to eat? He asked this only to test him, for
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: he already had in mind what he was going to do.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Philip answered him it would take more than half a
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: have a bite. Another of his disciples, Andrew Simon, Peter's brother,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: spoke up, here is a boy with five small all
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: barley loaves and two small fish. But how far will
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: they go among so many? Jesus said, make the people
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: sit down. There was plenty of grass in that place,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and they sat down. About five thousand men were there.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: those who were seated as much as they wanted. He
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: did the same with the fish. When they had all
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, gather
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the pieces that are left over.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Let nothing be wasted.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: who had eaten. After the people saw the sign Jesus performed,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: they began to say, surely this is the prophet who
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: is to come into the world. Jesus, knowing that they
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: again to a mountain by himself. When evening came, his
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: disciples went down to the lake, where they got into
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a boat and set off across the lake for Copernium.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: By now it was dark and Jesus had not yet
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and they were frightened, but he said to them, it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: is I, don't be afraid. Then they were willing to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the shore where they were heading. The next day, the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: lake realized that only one boat had been there, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that they had gone away alone. Then some boats from
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Tiberius landed near the place where the people had eaten
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the bread after the Lord had given thanks. Once the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: search of Jesus. When they found him on the other
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: side of the lake, they asked him, Rabbi, when did
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you get here. Jesus answered, very truly, I tell you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you are looking for me, not because you saw the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: signs I performed, but because you ate the loaves and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: but for food that endures to eternal life, which the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Son of Man will give you, for on him, God,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the Father has placed his seal of approval. Then they
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: asked him what must we do to do the works
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: God requires? Jesus answered, the work of God is this
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to believe in the one He has sent. So they
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: asked him, what sign, then will you give that we
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: may see it and believe you. What will you do
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: our ancestors at the manor in the wilderness, As it
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, very truly, I tell you, it
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: but it is my Father who gives you.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: The true bread from heaven.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: For the Bread of God is the bread that comes
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: down from Heaven and gives life to the world. Sir,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: they said, always give us this bread. Then Jesus declared,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: seen me, and still you do not believe. All those
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the Father gives me will come to me. And whoever
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: comes to me I will never drive away. For I
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: have come down from heaven not to do my will,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but to do the will of him who sent me.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And this is the will of him who sent me,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that I shall lose none of all those he has
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: given me, but raise them up at the last day.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: For my father's will is that every one who looks
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: and I will raise them up at the last day.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: At this the Jews there began to grumble about him,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: because he said, I am the bread that came down
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: from heaven. They said, is not this Jesus, the son
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of Joseph, whose father and mother we know. How can
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: he now say I came down from heaven. Stop grumbling
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: among yourselves. Jesus answered, no one can come to me
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: unless the Father who sent me, draws them, and I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: will raise them up at the last day. It is
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: written in the prophets, they will all be taught by God.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Every one who has heard the Father and learned from
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: him comes to me. No one has seen the Father
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: except the one who is from God. Only he has
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: seen the Father. Very truly, I tell you, the one
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Your ancestors at the manner in the wilderness, yet they died.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: But here is the bread that comes down from heaven,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: which any one may eat and not die. I am
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the living bread that came down from heaven.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: This bread is my flesh, which I will give for
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the life of the world. Then the Jews began to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: argue sharply among themselves. How can this man give us
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: his flesh to eat? Jesus said to them, very truly,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: blood has eternal life. And I will raise them up
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: at the last day. For my flesh is real food,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and My blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: and drinks my blood remains in me and I in them,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: just as the Living Father sent me. And I live
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: because of the Father. So the one who feeds on
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: me will live because of me. This is the bread
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manner and died,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: But whoever feeds on this bread will live for ever.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernium.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: On hearing it, many of his disciples said, this is
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a hard teaching.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Who can accept it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to them, does this offend you?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: What if you see the Son of Man ascend to
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: where he was before. The spirit gives life. The flesh
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: they are full of the spirit and life. Yet there
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: had known from the beginning which of them didn't believe
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and who would betray him. He went on to say,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: this is why I told you that no one can
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: come to me unless the Father has enabled them. From
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: this time, many of his disciples turned back, and no
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: longer followed him. You do not want to leave too,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: do you, Jesus asked the twelve. Simon Peter answered, Lord,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to whom shall we go? You have the words of
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: eternal life. We have come to believe and to know
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: that you are the Holy One of God. Then Jesus replied,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: have I not chosen you the twelve? Yet one of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: you is a devil? He meant Judas, the son of Simon,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: a scariot, who, though one of the twelve, was later
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: to betray him John chapter seven. After this, Jesus went
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: around in Galilee. He did not want to go about
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: a way.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: To kill him.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But when the Jewish festival of Tabernacles was near, Jesus's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: brothers said to him, leave Galilee and go to Judea,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: so that your disciples there may see the works you do.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: No one who wants to become a public figure acts
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to the world. For even his own brothers didn't believe
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: in him. Therefore, Jesus told them, my time is not
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: yet here for you. Any time will do the world
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that its works are evil.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: You go to the festival.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not going up to this festival because my time
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: is not yet fully come. After he had said this,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: he stayed in Galilee. However, after his brothers had left
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: for the festival, he went also, not publicly but in secret.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Now at the festival, the Jewish leaders were watching for
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus and asking where is he. Among the crowds, there
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: was wide spread whispering about him. Some said he is
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: a good man. Others replied, no, he deceives the people.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But no one would say anything publicly about him for
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: fear of the leaders. Not until half way through the
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: And begin to teach.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: The Jews there were amazed and asked how did this
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: man get such learning without having been taught. Jesus answered,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: my teaching is not my own. It comes from the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: one who sent me. Any One who chooses to do
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the will of God will find out whether my teaching
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: But he who seeks the glory of the one who
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: sent him is a man of truth. There is nothing
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: false about him. Has not Moses given you the law?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Yet none of you keeps the law? Why are you
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: trying to kill me? You a demon possessed? The crowd answered,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: who is trying to kill you? Jesus said to them,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I did one miracle, and you are all amazed. Yet,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: because Moses gave you circumcision, though actually it didn't come
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: from Moses, but from the patriarchs, you circumcise a boy
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: on the sabbath. Now, if a boy can be circumcised
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: on the sabbath, so that the law of Moses may
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: not be broken, why are you angry with me for
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: healing a man's whole body on the sabbath? Stop judging
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly. At that point,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, isn't
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: this the man they are trying to kill? Here he
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: is speaking publicly and they are not saying a word
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the Messiah? But we know where this man is from.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: When the Messiah comes, no one will know where he
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: is from. Then, Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: cried out, yes, you know me, and you know where
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I am from. I am not here on my own authority,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: but he who sent me is true. You do not
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: know him, but I know him because I am from
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: him and he sent me. At this they tried to
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: because his hour had not yet come. Still, many in
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the crowd believed in him. They said, when the Messiah comes,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: will he perform more signs than this man. The Pharisees
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I am with you for only a short time,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: and then I am going to the one who sent me.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: You will look for me, but you will not find me,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and where I am you cannot come. The jew said
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: to one another, where does this man intend to go
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: that we cannot find him? Will he go where our
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: what did he mean when he said, you will look
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: for me, but you will not find me, and where
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I am you cannot come. On the last and greatest
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: day of the festival, Jesus stood and said, in a
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: loud voice, let any one who is thirsty come to
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: me and drink, whoever believes in me, As Scripture has said,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: rivers of living water will flow from within them. By this,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: he meant the spirit whom those who believed in him
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: were later to receive. Up to that time, the spirit
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: On hearing his words, some of the people said, surely
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: this man is the prophet. Others said he is the Messiah.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Still others asked, how can the Messiah come from Galilee?
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: David's descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Thus the people were divided because of Jesus. Some wanted
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him. Finally,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: the temple guards went back to the chief priests and
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the Pharisees, who asked them, why didn't you bring him in?
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: For no one ever spoke the way this man does.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: The guards replied, you mean he.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Has deceived you. Also, the pharisees retorted, have.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him. No,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: but this mob that knows nothing of the law, there
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: is a curse on them. Nicodemus, who had gone to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: does our law condemn a man without first hearing him
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: to find out what he has been doing? They replied,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: are you from Galilee too? Look into it and you
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: will find that a prophet does not come out of
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Galilee John chapter eight. Then they all went home, but
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn, he
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: gathered round him, and he sat down to teach them.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: the group and said to Jesus, teach her. This woman
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: was caught in the act of adultery in the Moses
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: They were using this question as a trap in order
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: When they kept on questioning him. He straightened up and
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: said to them, let any one of you who is
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: without sin be the first to throw a stone at her. Again,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: those who heard began to go away, one at a time,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, woman,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: where are they? Has no one condemned you? No one, sir,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: she said, then neither do I condemn you. Jesus declared,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: go now and leave your life of sin. When Jesus
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: spoke again to the people, he said, I am the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: in darkness, but will have the light of life. The
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Pharisees challenged him, here you are appearing as your own witness.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Your testimony is not valid. Jesus answered, even if I
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: testify on my own behalf. My testimony is valid, for
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I know where I came from and where I am going.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: But you have no idea where I come from or
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: where I am going. You judge by human standards. I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: pass judgment on no one. But if I do judge,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: my decisions are true because I am not alone. I
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: stand with the father who sent me. In your own law,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I am one who testifies for myself. My other witness
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: is the father who sent me. Then they asked him,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: where is your father. You do not know me or
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: my father. Jesus replied, if you knew me, you would
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: know my father. Also, he spoke these words while teaching
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: in the temple courts, near the place where the offerings
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: were put. Yet no one seized him because his hour
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: had not yet come. Once more, Jesus said to them,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I am going away, and you will look for me,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: and you will die in your sin. Where I go,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you cannot come. This made the Jews ask will he
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: kill himself? Is that why he says? Where I go,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you cannot come. But he continued, you are from below.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I am from above. You are of this world. I
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: am not of this world. I told you that you
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: would die in your sins. If you do not believe
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Who are you?
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: They asked, just what I have been telling you from
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: the beginning, Jesus replied, I have much to say in
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and what I have heard from him, I tell the world.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: They did not understand that he was telling them about
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: his father. So Jesus said, when you have lifted up
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: the son of Man, then you will know that I
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: am he, and that I do nothing on my own
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: but speak just what the Father has taught me. The
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: one who sent me is with me. He has not
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Even as he spoke many believed in him. To the
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, if you hold
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: to my teaching, you are really my disciples, then you
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: will know that truth, and the truth will set you free.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: They answered him, we are Abraham's descendants and have never
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: been slaves of any one. How can you say that
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: we shall be set free? Jesus replied, very truly, I
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: tell you, every one who sins is a slave to sin. Now,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: a slave has no permanent place in the family, but
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: sets you free, you will be free. Indeed, I know
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: you are Abraham's descendants, yet you are looking for a
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: way to kill me.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Because you have no room for my word.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I am telling you what I have seen in the
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Father's presence, and you are doing what you have heard
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: from your father. Abraham is our father, they answered. If
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: you were Abraham's children, said Jesus, then you would do.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: What Abraham did.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: As it is, you are looking for a way to
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: kill me, a man who has told you the truth
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: You are doing the works of your own father. We
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: are not illegitimate children, they protested. The only father we
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: have is God himself. Jesus said to them, if God
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: were your father, you would love me. For I have
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: come here from God. I've not come on my own.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you?
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Because you are unable to hear what I say. You
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: belong to your father, the devil, and you want to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: native language, for he is a liar and the father
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: of lies. Yet, because as I tell the truth, you
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: do not believe me. Can any of you prove me
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth. Why
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: don't you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: God says. The reason you do not hear is that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: you do not belong to God. The Jews answered him.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: and damon possessed? I am not possessed by a demon,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: said Jesus. But I honor my father, and you dishonor me.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: one who seeks it, and he is the judge. Very truly,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: At this, they exclaimed, Now we know that your demon
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: possessed Abraham died, and so did the Prophets. Yet you
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died and
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: so did the prophets.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Who do you think you are?
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: one who glorifies me. Though you do not know him,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I know him. If I said I did not, I
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: would be a liar like you. But I do know
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: him and obey his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced at
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: the thought of seeing my day. He saw it and
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: was glad you are not fifty years old, they said
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: to him. And you have seen Abraham very truly, I
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: tell you, Jesus answered, before Abraham was born, I am.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: At this.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: They picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: slipping away from the temple grounds John chapter nine. As
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned this man or
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: his parents that he was born blind. Neither this man
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: nor his parents sinned, said Jesus. For this happened so
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: that the works of God might be displayed in him.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: As long as it is day, we must do the
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: works of him who sent me. Night is coming when
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: no one can work. While I am in the world,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I am the light.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Of the world.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: After saying this, he spat on the ground, made some
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: Go.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: He told him wash in the pool of Siloam. This
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: word means sent. So the man went and washed, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: came home, seeing his neighbors and those who had formerly
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: seen him begging asked, isn't this the same man who
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: used to sit and beg? Some claimed that he was,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: others said no, he only looks like him. But he
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: himself insisted, I am the man. How then were your
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: eyes opened? They asked, He replied, the man they called
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I went and washed, and then I could see. Where
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: is this man? They asked him, I don't know, he said.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: the day on which Jesus had made the mud and
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: opened the man's eyes was a sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: also asked him how he had received his sight. He
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: put mud on my eyes, the man replied, and I washed,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: and now I see. Some of the Pharisees said, this
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: man is not from God, for he does not keep
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: the Sabbath. But others asked, how can a sinner perform
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: such signs? So they were divided. Then they turned again
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: to the blind man. What have you to say about him?
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: It was your eyes he opened. The man replied, he
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: is a prophet. They still didn't believe that he had
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: been blind and had received his sight until they sent
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: for the man's parents. Is this your son, they asked,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Is this the one you say was born blind? How
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: is it that now he can see? We know he
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: is our son, the parents answered, and we know he
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: was born blind. But how he can see now or
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: who opened his eyes?
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Ask him he's of age, he'll speak for himself. His
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: who already had decided that any one who acknowledged that
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: That was why his parents said, he is of age.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Ask him a second time. They summoned the man who
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: had been blind, give glory to God by telling the truth.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: They said, we know this man is a sinner. He replied,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: one thing. I do know. I was blind, but now
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I see. Then they asked him, what did he do
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: to you? How did he open your eyes? He answered,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I have told you already and you did not listen.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Why do you want to hear it again? Do you
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: want to become his disciples too? Then they hurled insults
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: at him and said, you are this fellow's disciple. We
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: But as for this fellow, we don't even know where
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: he comes from. The man answered, now that is remarkable.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: You don't know where he comes from. Yet he opened
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: He listens to the godly person who does his will.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: man born blind. If this man were not from God,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: he could do nothing.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: To this.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: They replied, you were steeped in sin at birth. How
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: dare you lecture us? And they threw him out. Jesus
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: heard that they had thrown him out, and when he
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: found him, he said, do you believe in the son
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: of Man?
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Who is he? Sir?
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: The man asked, tell me so that I may believe
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: in him. Jesus said, you have now seen him. In fact,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: he is the one speaking with you. Then the man said, Lord,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: I believe, and he worshiped him. Jesus said, for judgment,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I have come into this world so that the blind
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: will see, and those who see will become blind. Some
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: what are we blind to. Jesus said, if you were blind,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: you would not be guilty of sin. But now that
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: you claim you can see, your guilt remains John chapter ten.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you, Pharisees, anyone who does not
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in by
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: some other way is a thief and a robber. Who
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: listened to his voice. He calls his own sheep by
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: name and leads them out. When he has brought out
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: they will never follow a stranger. In fact, they will
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: run away from him because they do not recognize a
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: stranger's voice. Jesus used this figure of speech, but the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Pharisees didn't understand what he was telling them. Therefore, Jesus
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: said again, very truly, I tell you, I am the
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: gate for the sheep. All who have come before me
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through me
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: will be saved. They will come in and go out
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, and
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: The good shepherd lays down his life of the sheep.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: and I know the Father. And I lay down my
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: not of this sheep fold. I must bring them also.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: They too will listen to my voice, and there shall
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my father
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: loves me is that I lay down my life, only
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: to take it up again. No one takes it from me,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: but I lay it down of my own accord. I
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: have authority to lay it down and authority to take
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: it up again. This command I received from my father.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: The Jews who heard these words were again divided. Many
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: of them said, he is demon possessed and raving mad.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Why listen to him? But others said, these are not
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: a daemon open the eyes of the blind? Then came
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: the festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Jesus was in the temple courts, walking in Solomon's colonnade.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: The Jews who were there gathered round him, saying, how
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: long will you keep us in suspense? If you are
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the Messiah? Tell us plainly, Jesus answered, I did tell you,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: but you did not believe the works I do in
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: my father's name. Testify about me, but you do not
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: No one will snatch them out of my hand. My father,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my father's hand.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: I and the Father are one again. His Jewish opponents
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: picked up stones to stone him. But Jesus said to them,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: I have shown you many good works from the Father.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: For which of these do you stone me. We are
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: not stoning you for any good work. They replied, but
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: I have said you are God's? If he called them
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: God's to whom the word of God came and scripture
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: cannot be set aside? What about the one whom the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Father set apart as his very own and sent into
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the world. Why then, do you accuse me of blasphemy
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: because I said I am God's son. Do not believe
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: me unless I do the works of my Father. But
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: if I do them, even though you do not believe me,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: believe the works that you may know and understand that
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: the Father is in me and I in the Father. Again,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: where John had been baptizing in the early days. There
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: he stayed and many people came to him. They said,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: though John never performed a sign, all that John said
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: about this man was true, and in that place many
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: believed in Jesus. John chapter eleven. Now a man named
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: now lay ill, was the same one who poured perfume
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: So the sisters sent word to Jesus, Lord, the one
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: you love is ill. When he heard this, Jesus said,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: this illness will not end in death. No, it is
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: for God's glory, so that God's son may be glorified
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: through it. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: so when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: where he was for two more days, and then he
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: said to his disciples, let us go back to Judea.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: But Rabbi, they said, a short while ago, the Jews
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: they had tried to stone you, and yet you're going back.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours of daylight? Any
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: One who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: they see by this world's light. It is when a
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: person walks at night that they stumble, for they have
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: no light. After he had said this, he went on
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: to tell them, our friend Lazarus has fallen as sleep,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: but I am going there to wake him up. His
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: disciples replied, Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: thought he.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Meant natural sleep.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: So then he told them plainly, Lazarus is dead, and
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: for your sake, I am glad I was not there,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: so that you may believe. But let us go to him.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Then Thomas, also known as Didimus, said to the rest
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: of the disciples, let us also go, that we may
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: die with him. On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: had already been in the tomb for four days.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Now. Bethany was less than two.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Martha said to Jesus, if you had been here, my
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: brother would not have died. But I know that even
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: now God will give you whatever you ask. Jesus said
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: to her, your brother will rise again. Martha answered I
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: know he will rise again in the resurrection of the
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: in the life. The one who believes in me will
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: live even though they die, and whoever lives by believing
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: in me will never die. Do you believe this, yes, Lord,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: she replied, I believe that you are the Messiah, the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Son of God who was to come into the world.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: After she had said this, she went back and called
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: her sister Mary aside. The teacher is here, she said,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: and is asking for you. When Mary heard this, she
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: got up quickly and went to him. Now Jesus had
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: not yet entered the village, but was still at the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: place where Martha had met him. When the Jews, who
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: had been with Mary in the house comforting her, noticed
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: she fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: had been here, my brother would not have died. When
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: And troubled. Where have you laid him? He asked, Come
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: and see, Lord, they replied. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: see how he loved him. But some of them said,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: could not he who opened the eyes of the blind
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: man have kept this man from dying. Jesus once more
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: deeply moved came to the tomb. It was a cave
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: with a stone laid across the entrance. Take away the stone,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: he said, But Lord, said Martha, the sister of the
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: dead man. By this time there's a bad odor, for
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: he has been.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: In there four days.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus said, did I not tell you that if
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: you believe, you will see the glory of God. So
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, Father,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: I thank you that you have heard me. I knew
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: that you always hear me, But I said this for
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: the benefit of the people standing here, that they may
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: believe that you sent me. When he had said this,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Jesus called in a loud voice, Lazarus come out. The
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: strips of linen, and a cloth round his face. Jesus
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: said to them, take off the grave. Clothes and let
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: him go. Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: What are we accomplishing, they asked, Here is this man
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: performing many signs. If we let him go on like this,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: every one will believe in him, and then the Romans
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: will come and take away both our temple and our nation.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: Then one of them, named Caiaphus, who was high priest
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: that year, spoke up, you know nothing at all. You
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: do not realize that it is better for you that
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: one man die for the people than that the whole
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: nation perish. He did not say this on his own,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: but as high priests that year, he prophesied that Jesus
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: that nation, but also for the scattered children of God,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: to bring them together and make them one. So from
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: that day on they plotted to take his life. Therefore,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples. When
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: before the passover. They kept looking for Jesus, and as
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: they stood in the temple courts, they asked one another,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: what do you think is he coming to the festival
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: at all? But the chief priests and the Pharisees had
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: should report it so that they might arrest him. John
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: chapter twelve. Six days before the passover, Jesus came to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Bethany where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: while Lazarus was among those reclining.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: At the table with him.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Then Mary took about half a liter of pure nard
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: and expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus's feet and
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: his disciples Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: the poor. It was worth a year's wages. He did
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: not say this because he cared about the poor, but
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: he used to help himself to what was put into it.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Leave her alone, Jesus replied, it was intended that she
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: should save this perfume.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: For the day of my burial.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: You will always have the poor among you, but you
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: will not always have me. Meanwhile, a large crowd of
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Jews found out that Jesus was there and came not
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: made plans to kill Lazarus as well.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: For on account of him.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: believing in him. The next day, the great crowd that
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: out to meet him, outing, ho Zanna, blessed is he
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the King of Israel. Jesus found a young donkey and
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: sat upon it. As it is written, do not be afraid,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: daughter Zion, see your king is coming seated on a
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: donkey's colt. At first, his disciples did not understand all this.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: things had been written about him, and that these things
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: had been done to him. Now, the crowd that was
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: Many people, because they had heard that he had performed
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: this sign, went out to meet him. So the Pharisees
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: said to one another, see this is getting us nowhere.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Look how the whole world has gone after him. Now
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: there were some Greeks among those who went up to
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: worship at the festival. They came to Philip, who was
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: from Bethsayed in Galilee with a request. Sir, They said,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: we would like to see Jesus. Philip went to tell Andrew.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus. Jesus replied, the
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: hour has come for the son of Man to be glorified.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: Very truly, I tell you.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: It remains only a single seed, but if it dies,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: it produces many seeds. Any One who loves their life
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: will lose it, while any one who hates their life
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: serves me must follow me, and where I am, my
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: servant also will be. My Father will honor the one
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: who serves me. Now my soul is troubled, and what
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: shall I say?
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Father?
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Save me from this hour. Now it was for this
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: Then a voice came from heaven. I have glorified it
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: and will glorify it again. The crowd that was there
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: and heard it said it had thundered. Others said an
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: angel had spoken to him. Jesus said, this voice was
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: judgment on this world. Now the prince of this world
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: will be driven out, and I, when I am lifted
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: He said this to show the kind of death he
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: was going to die. The crowd spoke up. We have
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: heard from the law that the Messiah will remain forever
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: so how can you say, the son of man must
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: be lifted up? Who is this son of man? Then
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus told them, you are going to have the light
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: just a little while longer, walk while you have the light,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: not know where they are going. Believe in the light
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: while you have the light, so that you may become
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: children of light. When he had finished speaking, Jesus left
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: and hid himself from them. Even after Jesus had performed
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: so many signs in their presence, they still would not
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: the prophet Lord, who has believed our message, and to
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: whom as the arm of the Lord been revealed. For
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: this reason they could not believe, because, as Isiah says elsewhere,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: he has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: them their hearts, nor turn, and I would heal them.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Isiah said this because he sought Jesus's glory and spoke
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: about him.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Yet at the.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Same time, many, even among the leaders, believed in him.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: But because of the Pharisees, they would not openly acknowledge
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: their faith, for fear they would be put out of
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: the synagogue, for they loved human praise more than praise
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: from God. Then Jesus cried out, whoever believes in me
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: does not believe in me only, but in the one
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: who sent me. The one who looks at me is
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: seeing the one who sent me. I have come into
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: the world as a light, so that no one who
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: believes in.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Me should stay in darkness.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: If any one hears my words but does not keep them,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: I do not judge that person, for I did not
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: come to judge the world, but to save the world.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: There is a judge for the one who rejects me
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: and does not accept my words. The very words I
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: have spoken will condemn them at the last day. For
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: I did not speak on my own, but the Father
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: who sent me commanded me to say all that I
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: So whatever I say is just what the Father has
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: told me to say. John chapter thirteen. It was just
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: before the Passover festival. Jesus knew that the hour had
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: come for him to leave this world and go to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: He loved them to the end. The evening meal was
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: son of Simon Escariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: the Father had put all things under his power, and
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: that he had come from God and was returning to God.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: So he got up from the.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: Meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: round his waist. After that, he poured water into a
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: basin and began to wash his disciples feet, drying them
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, are you
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: going to wash my feet? Jesus replied, you do not
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand. No,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: said Peter, you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Unless I wash you, you have.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: No part with me.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Then, Lord Simon Peter replied, not just my feet, but
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: my hands and my head as well. Jesus answered, those
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: who have had a ba need only to wash their feet.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: Their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: not every one of you. For he knew who was
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: going to betray him, and that was why he said,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: not every one was clean. When he had finished washing
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: his place.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: Do you understand what I have done for you? He
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: asked them.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: You call me teacher and lord, and rightly so, for
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: that is what I am. Now that I, your lord
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: one another's feet. I have set you an example that
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: you should do as I have done for you. Very truly,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: You do them.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not referring to all of you. I know that
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: I have chosen, But this is to fulfill this passage
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: of scripture. He who shared my bread has turned against me.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: I am telling you now before it happens, so that
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: when it does happen, you will believe that I am
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: who I am. Very truly, I tell you, whoever accepts
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: any one I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: accepts the one who sent me. After he had said this,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus was troubled in spirit. And testified, very truly, I
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: tell you, one of you.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: Is going to betray me.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: know which of them he meant. One of them, the
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. Simon
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: Peter motioned to this disciple and said, ask him which
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: one he means. Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, Lord,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: who is it? Jesus answered, it is the one to
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: whom I will give this piece of bread when I
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: have dipped it in the dish. Then, dipping the piece
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: a scariot. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: entered into him. So Jesus told him, what you are
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: about to do, do quickly. But no one at the
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: meal understood why Jesus said this to him. Since Judas
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: him to buy what was needed for the festival, or
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: to give something to the poor. As soon as Judas
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: had taken the bread, he went out, and it was night.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: When he was gone, Jesus said, now the son of
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. If
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: God is glorified in him, God will glorify the sun
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: in himself and will glorify him.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: At once, My.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: Children, I will be with you only a little longer.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: You will look for me. And just as I told
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: the Jews, so I tell you now where I am going.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: You cannot come. A new command. I give you love
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: one another as I have loved you, So you must
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: love one another. By this, every one will know that
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: you are my disciples. If you love one another. Simon
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Peter asked him, Lord, where are you going. Jesus replied,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: where I am going. You cannot follow now, but you
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: will follow later. Peter asked, Lord, why can't I follow you?
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: I will lay down my life for you. Then Jesus answered,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: will you really lay down your life for me?
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: Very truly?
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: I tell you, before the cock crows, you will disown
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: me three times. John chapter fourteen. Do not let your
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: My father's house has many rooms. If that were not so,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: would I have told you that I am going there
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: to prepare a place for you. And if I go
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: and prepare a place for you. I will come back
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: and take you to be with me, that you also
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: may be where I am. You know the way to
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: the place where I'm going, Thomas said to him, Lord,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: we don't know where you're going, so how can we
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: know the way? Jesus answered, I am the Way and
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: the truth and the life. No one comes to the
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Father except through me. If you really know me, you
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: will know my Father as well. From now on. You
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: do know him and have seen him. Philip said, Lord,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, don't you know me, Philip, even after I
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: have been among you such a long time. Any one
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: who has seen me has seen the Father. How can
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: you say, show us the Father? Don't you believe that
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: I am in the Father and that the Father is
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: in me? The words I say to you, I do
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Father living in me who is doing his work. Believe
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: me when I say that I am in the Father
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: and the Father is in me, or at least believe
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: on the evidence of the works themselves.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: Very truly.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: works I have been doing, And they will do even
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: greater things than these, because I am going to the Father,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: and I will do whatever you ask in my name,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: You may ask me for anything in my name, and
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: I will do it. If you love me, keep my commands,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: and I will ask the Father, and he will give
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: you another advocate to help you and be with you forever,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: for he lives with you and will be in you.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: I will not leave you as orphans. I will come
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: to you. Before long. The world will not see me
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: any more, but you will see me. Because I live,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: you also will live. On that day, you will realize
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: that I am in my Father, and.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: You are in me, and I am in you.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: who loves me. The one who loves me will be
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: loved by my Father, and I too will love them
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: and show myself to them. Then Judas not Judas Iscariot said,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: but Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: us and not to the world. Jesus replied, any one
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: love them, and we will come to them and make
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: our home with them. Any One who does not love
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: are not my own. They belong to the Father who
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: sent me. All this I have spoken while still with you.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: But the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: send in my name, will teach you all things and
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: will remind you of everything I have said to you.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give you.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: I do not give to you as.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: The world gives.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: be afraid. You heard me say I am going away
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: and I am coming back to you. If you loved me,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: you would be glad that I am going to the Father,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: For the Father is greater than I. I have told
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: you now before it happens, so that when it does happen,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: you will believe. I will not say much more to you,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: for the Prince of this world is coming. He has
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: no hold over me, but he comes so that the
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: world may learn that I love the Father and do
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: exactly what my Father has commanded me. Come now, let
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: us leave. John chapter fifteen. I am the true vine,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: that does bear fruit he prums so that it will
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: the word I've spoken to you. Remain in me as
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: by itself. It must remain in the vine. Neither can
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: the vine. You are the branches. If you remain in
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: Apart from me, you can do nothing. If you do
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: not remain in me. You are like a branch that
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: is thrown away and withers. Such branches are picked up,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: thrown into the fire, and burned. If you remain in
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: and it will be done for you. This is to
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: my father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: just as I have kept my father's commands and remain.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: In his love.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: I have told you this so that my joy may
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: My command is this, love each other as I have
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: loved you. Greater love has no one than this, to
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: friends if you do what I command. I no longer
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: call you servants, because a servant does not know his
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: master's business.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: Instead, I have called you friends.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: For everything that I learned from my father, I have
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: made known to you. You did not choose me, but
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: I chose you and appointed you so that you might
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, and so
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: that whatever you ask in my name, the Father will
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: give you.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: This is my command. Love each other.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: If the world hates you, keep in mind that it
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: would love you as its own. As it is. You
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: do not belong to the world. But I have chosen
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: you out of the world. That is why the world
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: hates you. Remember what I told you. A servant is
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: will obey yours. Also treat you this way because of
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: my name, for they do not know the one who
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them,
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: they would not be guilty of sin. But now they
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: my father as well. If I had not done among
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: them the works no one else did, they would not
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: be guilty of sin. As it is they have seen.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: And yet they have hated both me and my father.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: But this is to fulfill what is written in their law.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: They hated me without reason. When the Advocate comes, whom
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: I will send to you from the Father, the spirit
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: of Truth, who goes out from the Father, he will
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: testify about me. And you also must testify, for you
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: have been with me from the beginning. John chapter sixteen.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: All this I have told you so that you will
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: In fact, the time is coming when any one who
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: kills you will think their offering a service to God.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: They will do such things because they have not known
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: the Father or me. I have told you this so
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: that when their time comes, you will remember that I
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: warned you about them. I did not tell you this
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: from the beginning because I was with you. But now
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: I am going to him who sent me. None of
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: you asks me where are you going. Rather, you are
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: filled with grief because I have said these things. But
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: very truly I tell you it is for your good
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: that I am going away. Unless I go away, the
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: Advocate will not come to you. But if I go,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: I will send him to you. When he comes, he
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: will prove the world to be in the wrong about
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: sin and righteousness and judgment. About sin because people do
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: not believe me. About righteousness because I am going to
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: the Father, where you can see me no longer. And
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: I have much more to say to you, more than
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: he will guide you into all the truth. He will
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: not speak on his own. He will speak only what
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: he hears, and he will tell you what is yet
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: to come. He will glorify me because it is from
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: me that he will receive what he will make known
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: That is why I said, the Spirit will receive from
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: me what he will make known to you.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: Jesus went on to say, in a little.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: While, you will see me no more, and then after
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: a little while, you will see me. At this, some
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: of his disciples said to one another, what does he
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: mean by saying, in a little while you will see
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: me no more, and then after a little while you
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: will see me. And because I am going to the father,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: they kept asking, what does he mean by a little while?
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: We don't understand what he's saying. Jesus saw that they
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: are you asking one another what I meant when I said,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: in a little while, you will see me no more,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: and then after a little while you will see me.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: child has pain because her time has come, but when
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: her baby is born, she forgets the anguish because of
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: her joy that a child is born into the world.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: So with you, now is your time of grief. But
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: I will see you again, and you will rejoice, and
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: no one will take away your In that day, you
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: will no longer ask me anything. Very Truly, I tell you,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: Until now you have not asked for anything in my name.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: when I will no longer use this kind of language,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: but will tell you plainly about my Father. In that day,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: you will ask in my name. I am not saying
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: the Father himself loves you because you have loved me
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: and have believed that I came from God. I came
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: from the Father and entered the world. Now I am
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: leaving the world and going back to the Father. Then
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus's disciples said, now you are speaking clearly and without
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: figures of speech. Now we can see that you know
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: all things, and that you do not even need to
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: have any one ask you questions. This makes us believe
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: that you came from God. Do you now believe? Jesus replied,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: A time is coming, and in fact has come, when
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: you will be scattered each to your own home. You
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: for my Father is with me. I have told you
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: these things so that in me, you may have peace.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: In this world you will have troubled, But take heart,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: I have overcome the world. John chapter seventeen. After Jesus
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: said this, he looked towards heaven and prayed, Father, the
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: hour has come. Glorify your son, that your son may
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: glorify you, for you granted him authority over all people,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: that he might give eternal.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: Life to all those you have given him.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: Now this is eternal life that they know you, the
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: work you gave me to do.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: And now, Father, glorify me in.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: Your presence, with the glory I had with you before
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: the world began. I have revealed you to those whom
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: you gave me out of the world. They were yours.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: You gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: Now they know that everything you have given me comes
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: from you. For I gave them the words you gave me,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: I pray for them.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: I am not praying for the world, but for those
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: you have given me, for they are yours. All I
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: have is yours, and all you have is mine, and
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: glory has come to me through them. I will remain
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: in the world no longer, but they are still in
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: the world, and I am coming to you, Holy Father.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: Protect them by the power of your name, the name
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: you gave me, so that they may be one as
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: we are one. While I was with them, I protected
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: them and kept them safe by that name you gave me.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: None has been lost, except the one doomed to destruction,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: so that scripture would be fulfilled. I am coming to
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: you now, but I say these things while I am
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: still in the world, so that they may have the
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: full measure of my joy within them. I have given
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: them your word, and the world has hated them, for
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: they are not of the world any more than I
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: am of the world. My prayer is not that you
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: take them out of the world, but that you protect
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: them from the evil one. They are not of the world,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: the truth. Your word is truth. As you send me
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: into the world, I have sent them into the world.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: truly sanctified. My prayer is not for them alone. I
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: pray also for those who will believe in me through
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: their message, that all of them may be one. Father,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: just as you are in me and I am in you,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: may they also be in us, so that the world
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: may believe that you have sent me. I have given
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: them the glory that you gave me, that they may
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: be one as we are one, I in them and
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: you in me, so that they may be brought to
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: complete unity. Then the world will know that you send
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: me and have loved them, even as you have loved me. Father,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: I want those you have given me to be with
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: me where I am, and to see my glory, the
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: glory you have given me because you loved me before
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: the creation of the world. Righteous Father. Though the world
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: does not know you, I know you, and they know
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: that you have sent me. I have made you known
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: to them and will continue to make you known, in
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: order that the love you have for me may be
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: in them, and that I myself may be in them.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: John chapter eighteen. When he had finished praying, Jesus left
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: other side there was a garden, and he and his
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: disciples went into it. Now, Judas, who betrayed him, knew
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: the place because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: So Judas came to the garden guiding a detachment of
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: They were carrying torches of lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: all that was going to happen to him, went out
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: and asked them, who is it you want Jesus of Nazareth.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: They replied, I am he, Jesus said, and Judas, the traitor,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: was standing there with them. When Jesus said I am he,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: they drew back and fell to the ground.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: He asked them, who is it you want, Jesus of Nazareth,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: they said, Jesus answered, I told you that I am he.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: If you are looking for me, then let these men go.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: This happened so that the words he had spoken would
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: be fulfilled. I have not lost one of those you
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: gave me. Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus commanded Peter,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: put your sword away. Shall I not drink the cup
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: the Father has given me? Then the detachment of soldiers
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: bound him and brought him first to Annas, who was
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: the father in law of Caiaphus, the.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: High priest that year.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: that it would be good if one man died for
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: the people. Simon, Peter and another disciple were following Jesus
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: because this disciple was known to the high priest. He
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: went with Jesus into the High Priest's courtyard, but Peter
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: had to wait.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Outside the door.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: The other disciple, who was known to the high priest,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: and brought Peter in. You aren't one of this man's
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: disciples too, are you, she asked Peter. He replied, I
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: am not. It was cold, and the servants and officials
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: stood round a fire they had made to keep warm.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: Peter also was standing with them, warming himself. Meanwhile, the
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: High priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: I have spoken openly to the world. Jesus replied, I
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: always taught in synagogues or at the temple where all
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: what I said. When Jesus said this, one of the
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: officials near by slapped him in the face. Is this
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: the way you answered the high priest? He demanded, if
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: I said something wrong, Jesus replied, testify as to what
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: you strike me? Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphess,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: the High priest. Meanwhile, Simon Peter were still standing there,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: warming himself, so they asked him. You aren't one of
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: his disciples too, are you. He denied it, saying.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: I am not one of the High Priest's servants.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: A relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: off challenged him, didn't I see you with him in
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: the garden. Again, Peter denied it, and at that moment
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: a cock began to crow. Then the Jewish leaders took
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: they did not enter the palace because they wanted to
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: be able to eat the passover. So Pilot came out
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: to them and asked, what charges are you bringing against
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: this man? If he were not a criminal, they replied,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: we would not have handed him over to you. Pilot said,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: take him yourselves and judge him by your own law,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: but we have no right to execute any one. They objected.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: the kind of death he was going to die. Pilot
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: Him, are you the king of the Jews? Is that
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: your own idea? Jesus asked, or did others talk to
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: you about me? Am I a Jew?
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: Pilot replied, your own people and chief priests handed you
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: over to me. What is it you have done, Jesus said,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: My kingdom is not of this world. If it were,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: You are a king, then, said Pilot. Jesus answered, you
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: say that I am a king. In fact, the reason
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: I was born and came into the world is to
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: testify to the truth. Every one on the side of
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: truth listens to me.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: What is truth? Retorted Pilot.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: With this, he went out again to the Jews gathered
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: there and said, I find no basis for a charge
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: against him, but it is your custom for me to
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: release to you one prisoner at the time of the passover.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: Do you want me to release the King of the Jews?
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: They shouted back, No, not him, give us Barabbas. Now
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: Barabbas had taken part in an uprising John chapter nineteen.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: Then Pilot took Jesus and had him flogged. The soldiers
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: went up to him again and again, saying hail, King
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: of the Jews, and they slapped him in the face
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: once more. Pilot came out and said to the Jews
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: gathered there, look, I'm bringing him out to you to
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: let you know that I find no basis for a
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: charge against him. When Jesus came out wearing the crown
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: of thorns and the purple robe, Pilot said to them,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: here is the man. As soon as the chief priests
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: and their official saw him. They shouted, crucify, crucify, but
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: Pilot answered, you take him and crucify him. As for me,
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: I find no basis for a charge against him. The
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders insisted we have a law, and according to
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: that law, he must die because he claimed to be the.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: Son of God.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: When Pilot heard this, he was even more afraid, and
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: he went back inside the palace. Where do you come from,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: Do you refuse to speak to me?
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: Pilot said, don't you realize I have power either to
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: free you or to crucify you. Jesus answered, you would
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: have no power over me if it were not given
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: to you from above. Therefore, the one who handed me
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: over to you is guilty of a greater sin. From
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: then on, Pilot tried to set Jesus free, but the
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders kept shouting, if you let this man go,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: you are no friend of Caesar. Any One who claims
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: to be a king opposes Caesar. When Pilot heard this,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: seat at a place known as the stone pavement, which
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: in Aramaic is Gabbaffa. It was the day of preparation
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: of the Passover. It was about noon. Here is your king,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: Pilot said to the Jews. But they shouted, take him away,
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: take him away, crucify him. Shall I crucify your king?
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: Pilot asked, we have no king but Caesar. The chief
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: priests answered. Finally, Pilot handed him over to them to
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: his own crime, he went out to the place of
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: the Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. There they
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: crucified him, and with him two others, one on each
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: side and Jesus in the middle. Pilot had a notice
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: prepared and fastened to the cross. It read Jesus of Nazareth,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: the King of the Jews. Many of the Jews read
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: do not write the King of the Jews, but that
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: this man claimed to be King of the Jews. Pilot answered,
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: what I have written, I have written when the soldiers
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: crucified Jesus. They took his clothes, dividing them into four shares,
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: Not tear it.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: They said to one another, let's decide by lot who
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: will get it. This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: That said, they divided my clothes among them, and cast
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: lots for my garment.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: So this is what the soldiers did.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: the wife of Clopus, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: his mother there and the disciple, whom he loved, standing nearby,
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: he said to her, woman, here is your son, and
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: to the disciple, here is your mother. From that time on,
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: this disciple took her into his home. Later, knowing that
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: everything had now been finished and so that scripture would
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am thirsty. A jar of
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: wine vinegar was there, So they soaked sponge inid, put
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: the sponge on a stalk of the hissop plant, and
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: lifted it to Jesus's lips. When he had received the drink,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, it is finished. With that, he bowed his
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: head and gave up his spirit. Now it was the
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: day of preparation, and the next day was to be
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: a special sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: the bodies left on the crosses during the sabbath, they
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: asked Pilot to have the legs broken and the bodies
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: taken down. The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: and then those of the other. But when they came
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: pierced Jesus's side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: of blood and water. The man who saw it has
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: also may believe. These things happened so that the scripture
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: would be fulfilled. Not one of his bones will be broken,
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: and as another scripture says, they.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 2: Will look on the one they have pierced.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilot for the body of Jesus.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilot's permission, he came
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about thirty five kilograms.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: Taking Jesus's body, the two of them wrapped it with
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: the spices in strips of linen. This was in accordance
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: with the Jewish burial custom. At the place where Jesus
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: Because it was the Jewish day of preparation, and since
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. John chapter twenty.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: Early on the first day of the week, while it
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: So she came running to Simon, Peter and the other disciple,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: the one Jesus loved, and said, they have taken the
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: Lord out of the tomb. We don't know where they've
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: put him. So Peter and the other disciples started for
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: looked in at the strips of linen lying there, but
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: that had been wrapped around Jesus's head. The cloth was
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: went inside. He saw and believed they still did not
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: understand from scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: Then the disciples went back to where they were staying. Now,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: Mary stood outside the tomb, crying.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: As she wept.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: She bent over to look into the tomb and saw
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: two angels in white seated where Jesus's body had been,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: one at the head and the other at the foot.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: They asked her, woman, why are you crying? They have
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: taken my lord away, she said, and I don't know
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: where they have put him. At this, she turned round
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: that it was Jesus. He asked her, woman, why are
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: you crying? Who is it you are looking for? Thinking
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: he was the gardener, she said, Sir, if you have
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: carried him away, tell me where you have put him,
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: and I will get him. Jesus said to her Mary.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: She turned towards him and cried out in Aramaic rabbonai,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: which means teacher. Jesus said, do not hold unto me,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: instead to my brothers and tell them I am ascending
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: to my father and your father, to my God and
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: your God. Mary Magdalen went to the disciples with the
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: news I have seen the Lord, and she told them
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: that he had said these things to her. On the
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: evening of that first day of the week, when the
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: peace be with you. After he said this, he showed
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: when they saw the Lord, and again Jesus said peace
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: be with you, as the Father has sent me, I
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: am sending you. And with that he breathed on them
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: and said, receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive any
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: one's sins, their sins are forgiven. If you do not
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: forgive them, they are not forgiven. Now Thomas, also known
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: as Dinamus, one of the Twelve, was not with the
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: we have seen the Lord. But he said to them
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: unless I see the nail marks in his hands and
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: put my finger where the nails were and put my
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: hand into his side, I will not believe. A week later,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: with them, though the doors were locked. Jesus came and
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: stood among them and said, peace be with you. Then
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: he said to Thomas, put your finger here see my hands.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: Reach out your hand and put it into my side.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: Stop doubting and believe. Thomas said to him, my Lord
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: and my God. Then Jesus told him, because you have
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: not seen and yet have believed. Jesus performed many other
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: signs in the presence of his de disciples, which are
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: not recorded in this book. But these are written that
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: of God, and that by believing you may have life
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: in his name, John chapter twenty one. Afterwards, Jesus appeared
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: again to his disciples by the Sea of Galilee. It
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: happened this way Simon Peter Thomas, also known as Didymus
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: two other disciples were together. I'm going out to fish,
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: Simon Peter told them, and they said, we'll go with you.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: So they went out and got into the boat. But
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: that it was Jesus. He called out to them, friends,
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: haven't you any fish? No, they answered, He said, throw
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: your net on the right side of the boat and
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: you will find some. When they did, they were unable
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: to haul the net in because of the large number
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved, said to Peter.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: It is the Lord.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: As soon as Simon Peter heard him say it is
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment round him, for
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: he had taken it off and jumped into the water.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: full of fish, for they were not far from shore,
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: about a hundred meters. When they landed, they saw a
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: fire of burning coals there with fish on it and
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: some bread. Jesus said to them, bring some of the
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: fish you've just caught. So Simon Peter climbed back into
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: of large fish, a hundred and fifty three. But even
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: with so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: to them, come and have breakfast. None of the disciples
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: dared ask him, who are you? They knew it was
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: to them, and did the same with the fish. This
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: after he was raised from the dead. When they had
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of John,
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: do you love me more than these?
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: Lord, he said, you know that I love you. Jesus said,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: feed my lambs.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, Simon, son of John, do you love me.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: He answered, yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, take care of my sheep. The third time,
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: he said to him, Damon, son of John, do you
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: love me. Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: third time, do you love me?
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 2: He said, Lord, you know all things.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: You know that I love you. Jesus said, feed my sheep.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you. When you were younger, you
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: dressed yourself and went where you wanted. But when you
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: are old, you will stretch out your hands and some
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: one else will dress you and lead you where you
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: do not want to go. Jesus said this to indicate
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: Then he said to him, follow me. Peter turned and
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: at the supper and had said, Lord, who is going
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: to betray you. When Peter saw him, he asked, Lord,
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: what about him? Jesus answered, if I want him to
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: remain alive until I return, what is that to you?
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: You must follow me. Because of this, the rumor spread
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: among the believers that this disciple would not die. But
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus did not say that he would not die. He
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: only said, if I want him to remain alive until
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: I return. What is that to you?
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 2: This is the.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: Disciple who testifies to these things, and who wrote them down.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: other things as well. If every one of them were
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: written down, I suppose that even the whole world would
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: not have room for the books that would be written.
