He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”

And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know,

even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.’

Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”

The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.”

But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.

I Am the Bread of Life

On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.”

And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.”

If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.

Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.

You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”

The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’ ?”

Division Among the People

When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.”

And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

I Am the Light of the World

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
