John Testifies About Jesus
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
-
Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
-
How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
-
But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”
-
No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
-
By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
-
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
-
“No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Dispute Over Who Jesus Is
Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”
-
I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
-
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
-
Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?
-
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
-
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so 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 asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.
-
A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
-
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
-
We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
-
To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
-
Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
-
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
-
Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.
-
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
-
If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
-
When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
