What if you were to see the SON of MAN ascending to where HE was before? It is the Spirit who gives life the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.
This is why I told you that no one can come to ME unless it is granted him by the FATHER.
My time is not yet come, but your time is always here. The world cannot hate you, but it hates ME because I testify about it that its works are evil. You go up to the feast. I AM not going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.
My teaching is not mine, but His WHO sent ME. If anyone's will is to do GOD's will, he will know whether the teaching is from GOD or whether I AM speaking on My own authority. The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory but the ONE who seeks the glory of HIM WHO sent HIM is true, and in HIM there is no falsehood. Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law Why do you seek to kill ME? I did one work, and you all marvel at it. Moses gave you circumcision(not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with ME because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.
