Behold, the Lamb of God

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”

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.”

She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” ]]

So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’ ?”

I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.

Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them.

So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.

Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.

They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

Peter Denies Jesus

Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,

Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”
