"My food," Jesus said to them, "is to obey the will of the one who sent me and to finish the work he gave me to do.

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.

But I have a witness on my behalf which is even greater than the witness that John gave: what I do, that is, the deeds my Father gave me to do, these speak on my behalf and show that the Father has sent me.

Jesus said to them, "I have done many good deeds in your presence which the Father gave me to do; for which one of these do you want to stone me?"

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

I have shown your glory on earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do.

Jesus answered them, "Go and tell that fox: 'I am driving out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I shall finish my work.'

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, you stone the messengers God has sent you! How many times I wanted to put my arms around all your people, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me!

For we cannot stop speaking of what we ourselves have seen and heard."

Jesus said, "A day has twelve hours, doesn't it? So those who walk in broad daylight do not stumble, for they see the light of this world.

But if they walk during the night they stumble, because they have no light."

Jesus answered, "The light will be among you a little longer. Continue on your way while you have the light, so that the darkness will not come upon you; for the one who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.

Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead---and that is where you are going.

No one in the world of the dead can praise you; The dead cannot trust in your faithfulness.

It is the living who praise you, As I praise you now. Parents tell their children how faithful you are.

Make good use of every opportunity you have, because these are evil days.

Be wise in the way you act toward those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have.
