Gospel according to John

But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him.

He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."

At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?"

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

He answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
