This was John’s testimony when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you? ”

“What then? ” they asked him. “Are you Elijah? ”

“I am not,” he said.

“Are you the Prophet? ”

“No,” he answered.

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet? ”

In the meantime the disciples kept urging him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him and pleaded with him to come down and heal his son, since he was about to die.

“Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’? ” they asked.

When they persisted in questioning him, he stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ”

Then the Pharisees asked him again how he received his sight.

“He put mud on my eyes,” he told them. “I washed and I can see.”

They asked them, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How then does he now see? ”

“But we don’t know how he now sees, and we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he’s of age. He will speak for himself.”

This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”

So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor[fn] to be with you forever.

“But now I am going away to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going? ’

Jesus knew they wanted to ask him, and so he said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘In a little while, you will not see me; again in a little while, you will see me’?

“In that day you will not ask me anything. Truly I tell you, anything you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

“On that day you will ask in my name, and I am not telling you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

“Now we know that you know everything and don’t need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

“I pray[fn] for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they are yours.

“I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word.

The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special[fn] day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus ​— ​but secretly because of his fear of the Jews ​— ​asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’s body. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and took his body away.
