But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask him for."

And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him."

"Now my heart is troubled---and what shall I say? Shall I say, 'Father, do not let this hour come upon me'? But that is why I came---so that I might go through this hour of suffering.

Father, bring glory to your name!" Then a voice spoke from heaven, "I have brought glory to it, and I will do so again."

Don't you know that I could call on my Father for help, and at once he would send me more than twelve armies of angels?

In his life on earth Jesus made his prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God, who could save him from death. Because he was humble and devoted, God heard him.

And so he is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through him, because he lives forever to plead with God for them.

The people who were in the house with Mary comforting her followed her when they saw her get up and hurry out. They thought that she was going to the grave to weep there.

The crowd standing there heard the voice, and some of them said it was thunder, while others said, "An angel spoke to him!"

But Jesus said to them, "It was not for my sake that this voice spoke, but for yours.

Many of the people who had come to visit Mary saw what Jesus did, and they believed in him.

So the Pharisees and the chief priests met with the Council and said, "What shall we do? Look at all the miracles this man is performing!

One of them, named Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said, "What fools you are!

A second time they called back the man who had been born blind, and said to him, "Promise before God that you will tell the truth! We know that this man who cured you is a sinner."

"What did he do to you?" they asked. "How did he cure you of your blindness?"

They insulted him and said, "You are that fellow's disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

The man answered, "What a strange thing that is! You do not know where he comes from, but he cured me of my blindness!

Since the beginning of the world nobody has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a person born blind.

They answered, "You were born and brought up in sin---and you are trying to teach us?" And they expelled him from the synagogue.

Do not believe me, then, if I am not doing the things my Father wants me to do.

But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, you should at least believe my deeds, in order that you may know once and for all that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."

But these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life.

Then some people brought to Jesus a man who was blind and could not talk because he had a demon. Jesus healed the man, so that he was able to talk and see.

When the Pharisees heard this, they replied, "He drives out demons only because their ruler Beelzebul gives him power to do so."

For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.

because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day."

As Jesus taught in the Temple, he said in a loud voice, "Do you really know me and know where I am from? I have not come on my own authority. He who sent me, however, is truthful. You do not know him,

but I know him, because I come from him and he sent me."

But if I were to do so, my judgment would be true, because I am not alone in this; the Father who sent me is with me.

Jesus said to them, "If God really were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own authority, but he sent me.

As for me, the Father chose me and sent me into the world. How, then, can you say that I blaspheme because I said that I am the Son of God?

I gave them the message that you gave me, and they received it; they know that it is true that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.

I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

Righteous Father! The world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you sent me.

What the Law could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. He condemned sin in human nature by sending his own Son, who came with a nature like our sinful nature, to do away with sin.

But when the right time finally came, God sent his own Son. He came as the son of a human mother and lived under the Jewish Law,

And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.

This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.

And we have seen and tell others that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
