John.12.37

All these God-signs he had given them and they still didn't get it, still wouldn't trust him.

John.12.37

Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.

John.12.37

But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,

John.12.37

But despite all the miraculous signs he had done, most of the people did not believe in him.

John.12.38

This proved that the prophet Isaiah was right: God, who believed what we preached? Who recognized God's arm, outstretched and ready to act?

John.12.38

This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: "Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

John.12.38

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?"

John.12.38

This is exactly what Isaiah the prophet had predicted: "Lord, who has believed our message? To whom will the Lord reveal his saving power?"

John.12.39

First they wouldn't believe, then they couldn't--again, just as Isaiah said:

John.12.39

For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

John.12.39

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

John.12.39

But the people couldn't believe, for as Isaiah also said,

John.12.40

Their eyes are blinded, their hearts are hardened, So that they wouldn't see with their eyes and perceive with their hearts, And turn to me, God, so I could heal them.

John.12.40

"He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them."

John.12.40

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."

John.12.40

"The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts--so their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them."

John.12.41

Isaiah said these things after he got a glimpse of God's cascading brightness that would pour through the Messiah.

John.12.41

Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.

John.12.41

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

John.12.41

Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he made this prediction, because he was given a vision of the Messiah's glory.

John.12.42

On the other hand, a considerable number from the ranks of the leaders did believe. But because of the Pharisees, they didn't come out in the open with it. They were afraid of getting kicked out of the meeting place.

John.12.42

Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;

John.12.42

Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

John.12.42

Many people, including some of the Jewish leaders, believed in him. But they wouldn't admit it to anyone because of their fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.

John.12.43

When push came to shove they cared more for human approval than for God's glory.

John.12.43

for they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

John.12.43

for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John.12.43

For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.

John.12.44

Jesus summed it all up when he cried out, "Whoever believes in me, believes not just in me but in the One who sent me.

John.12.44

Then Jesus cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.

John.12.44

Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

John.12.44

Jesus shouted to the crowds, "If you trust me, you are really trusting God who sent me.

John.12.45

Whoever looks at me is looking, in fact, at the One who sent me.

John.12.45

When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me.

John.12.45

And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

John.12.45

For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.

John.12.46

I am Light that has come into the world so that all who believe in me won't have to stay any longer in the dark.

John.12.46

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

John.12.46

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

John.12.46

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness.

John.12.47

"If anyone hears what I am saying and doesn't take it seriously, I don't reject him. I didn't come to reject the world;

John.12.47

"As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.

John.12.47

And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

John.12.47

If anyone hears me and doesn't obey me, I am not his judge--for I have come to save the world and not to judge it.

John.12.48

I came to save the world. But you need to know that whoever puts me off, refusing to take in what I'm saying, is willfully choosing rejection. The Word, the Word-made-flesh that I have spoken and that I am, that Word and no other is the last word.

John.12.48

There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.

John.12.48

He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

John.12.48

But all who reject me and my message will be judged at the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken.

John.12.49

I'm not making any of this up on my own. The Father who sent me gave me orders, told me what to say and how to say it.

John.12.49

For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.

John.12.49

For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

John.12.49

I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me gave me his own instructions as to what I should say.

John.12.50

And I know exactly what his command produces: real and eternal life. That's all I have to say. What the Father told me, I tell you."

John.12.50

I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

John.12.50

And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."

John.12.50

And I know his instructions lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say!"

John.13.1

Just before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world to go to the Father. Having loved his dear companions, he continued to love them right to the end.

John.13.1

It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.

John.13.1

Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

John.13.1

Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He now showed the disciples the full extent of his love.

John.13.2

It was suppertime. The Devil by now had Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, firmly in his grip, all set for the betrayal.

John.13.2

The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.

John.13.2

And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

John.13.2

It was time for supper, and the Devil had already enticed Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to carry out his plan to betray Jesus.

John.13.3

Jesus knew that the Father had put him in complete charge of everything, that he came from God and was on his way back to God.

John.13.3

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;

John.13.3

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

John.13.3

Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God.

John.13.4

So he got up from the supper table, set aside his robe, and put on an apron.

John.13.4

so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

John.13.4

rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

John.13.4

So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist,

John.13.5

Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, drying them with his apron.

John.13.5

After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

John.13.5

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

John.13.5

and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.

John.13.6

When he got to Simon Peter, Peter said, "Master, you wash my feet?"

John.13.6

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

John.13.6

Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"

John.13.6

When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, "Lord, why are you going to wash my feet?"

John.13.7

Jesus answered, "You don't understand now what I'm doing, but it will be clear enough to you later."

John.13.7

Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

John.13.7

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."

John.13.7

Jesus replied, "You don't understand now why I am doing it; someday you will."

John.13.8

Peter persisted, "You're not going to wash my feet--ever!" Jesus said, "If I don't wash you, you can't be part of what I'm doing."

John.13.8

"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."

John.13.8

Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

John.13.8

"No," Peter protested, "you will never wash my feet!" Jesus replied, "But if I don't wash you, you won't belong to me."

John.13.9

"Master!" said Peter. "Not only my feet, then. Wash my hands! Wash my head!"

John.13.9

"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"

John.13.9

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

John.13.9

Simon Peter exclaimed, "Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!"

John.13.10

Jesus said, "If you've had a bath in the morning, you only need your feet washed now and you're clean from head to toe. My concern, you understand, is holiness, not hygiene. So now you're clean. But not every one of you."

John.13.10

Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you."

John.13.10

Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

John.13.10

Jesus replied, "A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean. And you are clean, but that isn't true of everyone here."

John.13.11

(He knew who was betraying him. That's why he said, "Not every one of you.")

John.13.11

For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

John.13.11

For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."

John.13.11

For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, "Not all of you are clean."

John.13.12

After he had finished washing their feet, he took his robe, put it back on, and went back to his place at the table. Then he said, "Do you understand what I have done to you?

John.13.12

When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them.

John.13.12

So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

John.13.12

After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, "Do you understand what I was doing?

John.13.13

You address me as "Teacher' and "Master,' and rightly so. That is what I am.

John.13.13

"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am.

John.13.13

You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.

John.13.13

You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are right, because it is true.

John.13.14

So if I, the Master and Teacher, washed your feet, you must now wash each other's feet.

John.13.14

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.

John.13.14

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

John.13.14

And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet.

John.13.15

I've laid down a pattern for you. What I've done, you do.

John.13.15

I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

John.13.15

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

John.13.15

I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.

John.13.16

I'm only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn't give orders to the employer.

John.13.16

I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

John.13.16

Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

John.13.16

How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor are messengers more important than the one who sends them.

John.13.17

If you understand what I'm telling you, act like it--and live a blessed life.

John.13.17

Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

John.13.17

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

John.13.17

You know these things--now do them! That is the path of blessing.
