It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

“These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you.

You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

Jesus’ Warning

“These things I have spoken to you so that you will not be led into sin.

But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

“These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret.

Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
