This [man] came to Him by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God [as] a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

But many of the crowd believed in Him, and were saying, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this [Man] did?"

While He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, truly you are My disciples.

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

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

But the [seed] sown on stony ground, is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived. For when tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

And these are similarly the [seeds] being sown on stony ground which, whenever they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy;

and they have no root in themselves, but are shortlived. Afterward, when trials or persecution arise because of the word, immediately they fall away.

But those on the rock are they that, whenever they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of testing fall away.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; being rooted and founded in love,

You believe God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe--and they shudder!

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
