Jesus answered, "I am telling you the truth: you are looking for me because you ate the bread and had all you wanted, not because you understood my miracles.

They replied, "What miracle will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

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."

Yet some of you do not believe." (Jesus knew from the very beginning who were the ones that would not believe and which one would betray him.)

Even though he had performed all these miracles in their presence, they did not believe in him,

They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not done among them the things that no one else ever did; as it is, they have seen what I did, and they hate both me and my Father.

But Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone were to rise from death.' "

You love him, although you have not seen him, and you believe in him, although you do not now see him. So you rejoice with a great and glorious joy which words cannot express,

because you are receiving the salvation of your souls, which is the purpose of your faith in him.
