47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(A) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(B) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(C) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(D) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(E)

10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?(A) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(B) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.(C)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(A) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(B) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(C)

13 “I am coming to you now,(A) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(B) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(C) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(D) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(E) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(F) 17 Sanctify them by[a] the truth; your word is truth.(G)

13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? 14 The farmer sows the word.(A) 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(B) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth(C) and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

“‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.’[a](A)

You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”(B)

And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[b] your own traditions!(C) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[c](D) and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[d](E) 11 But you say(F) that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God(G) by your tradition(H) that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
