On Hearing
John
the Baptist's Testimony of Jesus John 3 26 And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, [He] who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to whom you have begotten witness, Behold this [one] baptizes and all come to him. 27 John answered and said: [a] man is able to be receiving nothing unless it have been given to him out of heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness that I said: I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before that [one]. 29 The [one] having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, the [one] who has stood and has heard him, rejoices with joy because of the sound of the bridegroom. So my joy has been fulfilled. 30 He must be increasing, but I must be diminishing. 31 The [one] coming from above is over all; the [one] being from the earth is out of the earth and speaks out of the earth. The [one] being from heaven is over all. 32 What he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no one receives his testimony. 33 The [one] having received his testimony has set his seal [to this], that God is true. 34 For [the one] whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the spirit by measure. 35 The father agape-loves the son, and has given everything into his hand. 36 The [one] believing in the son has eternal zoe-life, but the [one] disobeying the son will not see zoe-life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
LIFE
THROUGH THE SON John 5 24 Truly
truly I say to you that the [one] hearing
my word and believing the [one] having sent me has eternal zoe-life , and does not come
into judgment, but is moved out of death into zoe-life. 25 Truly truly I say to you that [the] hour comes and now is when the
dead will hear the cry of the son
of God and those having heard will
zoe-live. 26 For as the father has zoe-life in himself,
likewise also to the son he has given zoe-life to be having in
himself. 27 And he gave him authority to be doing judgment, because
he is [a] son of man. 28 Be not marveling at this, that [the] hour
comes in which all those in the graves will hear
his voice, 29 [but] those having
done [as a practice] worthless [things] will come
out to [the] resurrection of judgment. 30 For I am not able
to be doing anything from myself; just as I hear
do I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the
will of the [one] having sent me. 31 If I witness concerning myself,
my witness is not true. 32 Another is witness concerning me, and I
know that the witness is true that he witnessed concerning me. 33
You sent to John, and he has witnessed to the truth; 34 but I do not
receive witness by man, but I say these [things] that you be saved. 35
That [one] was the burning and shining lamp and you wanted to rejoice for
[hour] in his light. 36 But I have [a] witness greater than John;
for the works that the father has given me in order that I complete them, these works
themselves which I do witness concerning me that the father has sent me. 37And the father having sent me, that [one] has witnessed
concerning me. Neither his voice have you ever heard nor his visible-form have you ever seen, 38 and his word you do not have abiding in you, because he whom that
[one] has sent, in this [one] do you not believe. 39 You
search the Scriptures, because you suppose in them to be having eternal
zoe-life, and these are
those witnessing concerning me. 40 And you do not
want to come to me in order that you have zoe-life. and those having done good will come out to
[the] resurrection of zoe-life.
THOSE
WHO HEAR THE FATHER COME TO JESUS John 6 45 It
is written in the prophets, And they will all be taught by God. Everyone having heard the father and having learned [from him] comes toward
me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the father, except
the [one] being from God, this [one] has seen the father. 47 Truly truly I say to you, the [one] believing has eternal zoe-life. JESUS
HEARS FROM THE FATHER John 8 25 So they were saying to him, Who are
you? Jesus said to them: What I told
you from the beginning. 26 I have many [things] concerning you to be
saying and to be judging. But the [one] having sent me is true, and I, what I heard from him, these [things] I speak to
the world. John 8 37 I know that you
are Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill me, because my word does not have room
in you. 38 What I have seen beside the father I speak, and therefore
what you heard from your father
you do. 39 They answered and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus says to
them: If you are children of Abraham,
you would have done the works of
Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill me [a] man who has spoken to
you the truth, which I heard from
God; this Abraham did not do. 41 You do the works [of
your] father. They said to him: We were not born out of
fornication, We have one father - God. 42 Jesus said to them: If God were your father, you would have
agape-loved me, for I have gone out from God and have come. For neither am I
come from myself, but that [one] sent me. 43 Why do you
not know my speech? Because you are not able to be hearing my word. 44 You are from
your father the devil and you want to be
doing the desires [of your] father. That [one] was murderer from the beginning,
and he has not stood in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks
the "lie", he speaks from his own [self], because he is [a] liar and
his father [also]. 45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not
believe me. 46 Who among you convicts me of sin? If I say [the]
truth, why do you not believe me? 47 The [one] being from God hears the words of God; because of this you
do not hear [me], because you are
not from God. HIS
SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE John 10 1 Truly
truly I say to you, the [one] not coming in through the gate into the sheep-pen
but coming up from elsewhere, that [one] is [a] thief and [a] robber. 2
But the [one] coming in through the gate is [the] shepherd of the
sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens [the gate] to this
[one], and the sheep hear his
voice, and he calls his own sheep by
name, and he leads them out. 4 When he has brought out
all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know
his voice. 5 They will not follow [the voice
belonging] to [a] stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know
the voice of strangers. 6 Jesus told them this parable; but these
[ones] did not know what it was that he was speaking to them. 7 So Jesus said again, Truly truly I say to you that I am the gate
of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and
robbers. But the sheep have not heard
them. 9 I am the gate. If anyone enter through me, he
will be saved, and he will come in and will go out and will find pasture. 10
The thief does not come except in order that he steal and
slaughter and destroy ; I came in order
that they have zoe-life and have [it]
exceedingly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd appoints his psyche-life in behalf of the
sheep. 12 But the hired-hand also not being shepherd,
of whom the sheep are not his own, he sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep
and flees - and the wolf seizes them and scatters [them] - 13 [he flees] because he is [a] hired-hand and the sheep are not [a]
concern to him. 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know
mine and mine know me, 15 just as the father knows
me, and I know the father, and I lay-down my psyche-life in behalf of the
sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this
sheep-pen, and I must lead [these], and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
17 Because of this the father
agape-loves me, because I lay-down my psyche-life, in order that I
again receive it. 18 No one takes it from me, but I
dedicate it myself. I have authority to dedicate it, and I have authority to again
receive it; this commandment I received from my father.19
[A] division again came to pass among the Jews because of these
words. 20 And many among them were saying, He has [a]
demon and is insane; why do you hear him? 21 Others
were saying, These words are not [those] of [one] demon-possessed. Is [a] demon
able to open [the] eyes of [the] blind
? 22 The Festival of Rededication then came to pass
in JESUS
THANKS THE FATHER FOR ALWAYS HEARING HIM John 11 40 Jesus says to her: Did I not say to you that: If you believe, you will see the
glory of God? 41
So they removed the stone. Now Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: Father, I thank you that you heard me. 42 For I have known
that you always hear me, but
because of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they believe that
you have sent me. 43
And having said these [things] he cried out with [a] great voice: Lazarus! Come out! 44
And the [one] having been dead came out, his feet and hands having been bound
with bandages, and his face was bound with [a] handkerchief. Jesus says to
them, Loose him and let him be going. WARNING
TO THOSE WHO DO NOT HEAR AND GUARD THE WORD John 12 44 But Jesus cried out and said: The [one] believing in me does not believe in
me but [rather] in the [one] having sent me, 45 and the [one] beholding
me beholds the [one] having sent me. 46 I am light come into the
world, in order that everyone believing in me not abide in darkness. 47
And if anyone hear my words and
not guard [them], I do not judge him, for I came not in order that I judge the
world, but in order that I save the world. 48 The
[one] setting me aside and not receiving my words has [one] judging him: the
word that I spoke - that will judge him in the last day. 49 Because I have not spoken from myself, but the [one] having sent me,
[the] father himself has given to me commandment what I should say and what I
should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is
eternal zoe-life. What therefore I
speak, just as the father has spoken to me, thusly I speak. THE
WORD YOU HEAR IS FROM THE FATHER John 14 24 The [one] not
agape-loving me does not keep to my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but of the father having
sent me. 25 These [things] have I spoken while dwelling with you. 26
But the advocate, the Holy Spirit,
which the father will send in my name, that [one] will teach you everything and
will remind you of everything which I spoke to you. 27 Peace I leave
you, my peace I give you, not just as the world gives do I give to you. Let your heart not be being
troubled, neither let it be being
cowardly. 28 You heard
what I said to you: I go, and come [back] to you. If you were agape-loving me,
you would have rejoiced that I go to the father, because the father is greater
than I. YOU
ARE PHILIA-BELOVED John 15 15 No longer do I
say you [are] slaves, because the slave does not know what his lord does; but I
have called you philia-beloved, because everything that I heard from my father I made known to you. REGARDING
THE HOLY SPIRIT John 16 12 I have yet many
[things] to be telling you, but you are not now able to be bearing [them]. 13
But when that [one] comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide you into all
truth, for he will not speak from himself, but as much as he hears will he speak, and the coming
[things] will he disclose to you. JESUS
RESPONDS TO BEING QUESTIONED John 18 19 The chief-priest therefore asked
Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.20 Jesus answered him: I have openly spoken to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in
the temple, where the Jews all gather, and I spoke nothing in secret. 21
Why do you ask me? Ask those
having heard what I spoke to them.
Behold these know what I said to them. THOSE
ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH HEAR HIS VOICE John 18 37 Pilate therefore said to him: So are you [a] king? Jesus answered: You say that I am king. I am born for this and am come into the world for this, in order that I witness to the truth. All those being from the truth hear my voice. Pilate says to him: What is truth? |
