(As recorded in John 5:12) In this grouping of the words of Jesus is included his conversations with the Jews, which are recorded solely in the fifth to twelfth chapters of John. These sayings of Jesus fall into the order of three sub-groups, of seven sets each: (1) Christ reveals His mission to the Jews (7 x 7) (2) Christ declares the unbelief of the Jews and the judgment to come upon them (7 x 7) (3) Christ's promises to those that believe (7 x 7)
I. Christ Declares He Is of the Father 1. CHRIST DECLARES THAT HE ALONE HATH SEEN GOD Not that any man bath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he bath seen the Father. John 6:46. 2. THAT HE SHALL ASCEND UP WHERE HE WAS BEFORE Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? John 6:61, 62. 3. THAT HE IS FROM GOD Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from him, and he bath sent me. John 7:28, 29. 4. THAT HE SHALL RETURN TO HIM THAT SENT HIM Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. John 7:33. 5. THAT HE KNOWS WHENCE HE CAME Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. John 8:14. 6. THAT HE PROCEEDED FORTH FROM GOD If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. John 8:42. 7. THAT HE KNOWS GOD Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. John 8:55.
II. The Son Came to Speak of the Father 1. THE SON DECLARES HIS DOCTRINE IS OF THE FATHER My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. John 7:16. 2. THE OBEDIENT SHALL KNOW THAT HE SPEAKS NOT OF HIMSELF If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17. 3. HE SPEAKETH NOT OF HIMSELF BUT SEEKETH GLORY OF THE FATHER He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. John 7:18. 4. CRUCIFIERS OF CHRIST TO LATER REALIZE THEIR AWFUL MISTAKE When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father bath taught me, I speak these things. John 8:28. 5. THE SON SPEAKS NOT OF HIMSELF, BUT OF THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENT For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. John 12:49. 6. HE SPEAKS OF THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENT—LIFE EVERLASTING And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 12:50. 7. HE SPEAKS TO THE WORLD THE THINGS HE HEARD FROM THE FATHER I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. John 8:26.
III. The Son Doeth the Works of the Father 1. THE SON CAN DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 5:17, 19. 2. THE FATHER SHOWETH THE SON ALL THINGS THAT HE DOETH For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. John 5:20. 3. THE WORK OF THE SON CAUSETH MEN TO MARVEL I have done one work, and ye all marvel. John 7:21. 4. THE SON DOETH NOTHING OF HIMSELF When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father bath taught me, I speak these things. John 8:28. 5. THE SON DOETH ALWAYS THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASE THE FATHER And he that sent me is with me: the Father bath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:29. 6. THE SON'S GOOD WORKS WERE OF THE FATHER Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? John 10:32. 7. IF THE SON DOETH THE WORKS OF THE FATHER, BELIEVE If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 10:37, 38.
IV. John's Witness 1. CHRIST DID NOT COME WITHOUT A WITNESS If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. John 5:31. 2. THERE IS ANOTHER THAT BEARETH WITNESS There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. John 5:32. 3. JOHN BORE WITNESS TO CHRIST Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. John 5:33. 4. THIS WITNESS WAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WORLD But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. John 5:34. 5. THE WITNESS OF JOHN WAS A BURNING AND SHINING LIGHT He was a burning and a shining light. John 5:35. 6. MEN REJOICED FOR A SEASON IN THAT LIGHT And ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. John 5:35. 7. THE WORKS OF CHRIST WERE A GREATER WITNESS THAN JOHN'S But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. John 5:36.
V. The Witness of the Father and the Son 1. THE WORKS OF THE FATHER BEARETH WITNESS OF CHRIST But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. John 5:36. 2. THE FATHER BEARETH WITNESS OF THE SON And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. John 5:37. 3. THE WITNESS OF THE SON IS ALSO TRUE Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I came, and whither I go. John 8:14. 4. THE WITNESS OF THE FATHER AND SON COMPARED TO THAT OF TWO MEN It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. John 8:17. 5. BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON BEARETH WITNESS I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. John 8:18. 6. JESUS REPEATS HIS TESTIMONY OF HIS DIVINE ORIGIN Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. John 8:25. 7. THE FATHER HONORETH THE SON If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God. John 8:54.
VI. Deity of the Son 1. THE SON TO BE HONORED THE SAME AS THE FATHER That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which bath sent him. John 5:23. 2. THE SON HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF EVEN AS THE FATHER For as the Father bath life in himself; so bath he given to the Son to have life in himself. John 5:26. 3. THE SON ABIDETH FOREVER And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. John 8:35. 4. THE SON IS WITHOUT SIN Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? John 8:46. 5. THE SON WAS, BEFORE ABRAHAM, THE GREAT "I AM" Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:56, 58. 6. THE SON AND THE FATHER ARE ONE I and my Father are one. John 10:30. 7. I AM THE SON OF GOD Say ye of him, whom the Father bath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? John 10:36.
VII. The Good Shepherd 1. CHRIST 1S THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. John 10:2. 2. THE SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice. John 10:3. 3. HE LEADETH HIS SHEEP And he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. John 10:3. 4. HE GOETH BEFORE HIS SHEEP And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:4. 5. HE IS THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:7. 6. HE IS THE DOOR; IF ANY MAN ENTER IN HE SHALL BE SAVED I am the door: by me if any man_ enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9. 7. HE COMETH THAT MEN MIGHT HAVE LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10.
VIII. The False Shepherds and Those Who Are Not of God's Sheep 1. OTHERS WHO ENTER NOT BY THE DOOR ARE THIEVES AND ROBBERS Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. John 10:1. 2. THE SHEEP WILL NOT FOLLOW STRANGERS And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:5. 3. ALL THAT CAME BEFORE THE GOOD SHEPHERD ARE THIEVES AND ROBBERS All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. John 10:8. 4. THE THIEF COMETH TO STEAL AND DESTROY The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. John 10:10. 5. THE HIRELING FLEETH BEFORE THE WOLF But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. John 10:12-13. 6. THOSE WHO ARE NOT OF GOD'S SHEEP, BELIEVE NOT I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. John 10:25. 7. THE JEWS BELIEVED NOT AND WERE NOT OF GOD'S SHEEP But ye believed not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. John 10:26.
IX. The Unbelief of Jews 1. THE JEWS RECEIVED NOT CHRIST, BUT WILL RECEIVE ANOTHER I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 5:43. 2. THE JEWS COULD NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED HONOUR ONE OF ANOTHER How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? John 5:44. 3. THE JEWS SAW BUT BELIEVED NOT But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. John 6:36. 4. THE JEWS WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE TRUTH And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. John 8:45. 5. THOUGH THE JEWS SAW CHRIST'S SINLESSNESS, THEY WOULD NOT BELIEVE Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? John 8;46. 6. THE JEWS WOULD NOT HEAR, THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. John 8:43. 7. CHRIST'S WORDS TO JUDGE AT LAST DAY THOSE WHO BELIEVE NOT And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 12:47.
X. The Jews Reject Prophecies of the Scriptures 1. THE JEWS HAD NOT GOD'S WORD ABIDING IN THEM And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. John 5:38. 2. THE JEWS WERE TOLD TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES WHICH THEY PROFESSED TO BELIEVE Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39. 3. THE WRITINGS OF MOSES ACCUSED THE UNBELIEF OF THE JEWS Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. John 5:45. 4. HAD THE JEWS BELIEVED MOSES THEY WOULD HAVE BELIEVED CHRIST For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. John 5:46. 5. UNBELIEF IN MOSES RESULTED IN UNBELIEF IN CHRIST But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? John 5:47. 6. MOSES GAVE THE LAW, BUT THE JEWS DID NOT KEEP THE LAW Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? John 7:19. 7. THE SCRIPTURES CANNOT BE BROKEN; YET THE JEWS BELIEVED NOT Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou biasphemest; because I said, I am the son of God? John 10:34-36.
XI. Unbelieving Jews Were Not of God But of Their Father the Devil 1. THE JEWS HAD NOT THE LOVE OF GOD IN THEM I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. John 5:41-42. 2. THE JEWS KNEW NOT GOD Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me. ye should have known my Father also. John 8:19. 3. THE JEWS DID THAT WHICH THEY HAD SEEN OF THEIR FATHER, THE DEVIL I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. John 8:38. 4. THE JEWS DID THE DEEDS OF THEIR FATHER Ye do the deeds of your father. John 8:41. 5. WERE GOD THEIR FATHER THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED CHRIST If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. John 8:42. 6. THE JEWS WERE OF THEIR FATHER THE DEVIL Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44. 7. THE JEWS WERE NOT OF GOD AND HEARD NOT GOD'S WORDS He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. John 8:47.
XII. The Jews' Sin 1. THE JEWS RECEIVED NOT THE TRUE CHRIST, BUT WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 5:43. 2. THE JEWS WERE ANGRY BECAUSE CHRIST HEALED ON THE SABBATH DAY If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:23, 24. 3. CHRIST'S WORDS CONVICTED THE JEWS OF SIN, BUT THEY REPENTED NOT He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7. 4. THE JEWS SOUGHT TO KILL CHRIST I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word bath no place in you. John 8:37. 5. THE JEWS HATED CHRIST BECAUSE HE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. John 8:39, 40. 6. THE JEWS DISHONOURED CHRIST I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. John 8:49. 7. THE JEWS CLAIMED TO KNOW THE TRUTH; THEREFORE THEY WERE CONDEMNED If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. John 9:41.
XIII. Unbelieving Jews Warned of Judgment 1. IF THE JEWS CAME NOT TO CHRIST THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE LIFE And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5:40. 2. THE JEWS WOULD LATER SEEK CHRIST AND NOT BE ABLE TO FIND HIM Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. John 7:34. 3. THE JEWS WOULD LATER SEEK HIM BUT WOULD DIE IN THER SINS I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. John 8:21. I said there-fore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he. ye shall die in your sins. John 8:24. 4. THEY WOULD NOT ABIDE FOREVER And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. John 8:35. 5. THE JEWS WHO LOVED THEIR LIFE WOULD LOSE IT He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 12:25. 6. THE WORLD JUDGED; SATAN JUDGED; CHRIST BEARS JUDGMENT AT CALVARY Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world he cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:31, 32. 7. WALK WHILE YE HAVE THE LIGHT LEST DARKNESS COME Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. John 12:35.
XIV. All Judgment Given to the Son 1. ALL JUDGMENT COMMITTED TO THE SON For the Father judgeth no man, but bath committed all judgment unto the Son. John 5:22. 2. SON OF MAN GIVEN AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. John 5:27. 3. THE SON'S JUDGMENT IS JUST I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which bath sent me. John 5:30. 4. MY JUDGMENT IS TRUE Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. John 8:15, 16. 5. I HAVE MANY THINGS TO JUDGE OF YOU I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. John 8:26. 6. FOR JUDGMENT I CAME INTO THE WORLD For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. John 9:39. 7. HE THAT REJECTETH ME, I SHALL JUDGE HIM AT LAST DAY He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:48.
XV. The Good Shepherd Lays Down Life That Sheep May Have Life 1. THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVETH HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:11. 2. THE GOOD SHEPHERD KNOWETH HIS SHEEP I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. John 10:14. 3. HE LAYETH DOWN HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 10:15. 4. THERE ARE OTHER SHEEP WHO MUST HEAR THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:16. 5. THE SHEPHERD LAYETH DOWN HIS LIFE AND TAKETH IT UP AGAIN Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. ,John 10:17. 6. THE SHEEP FOLLOW THE SHEPHERD My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27. 7. THE SHEEP SHALL NEVER PERISH And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:28.
XVI. Those the Father Giveth Shall Come to the Son 1. ALL THAT THE FATHER GIVETH SHALL COME TO THE SON All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37. 2. HE THAT LEARNETH OF GOD COMETH TO THE SON It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that bath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 6:45. 3. NO MAN CAN COME TO THE SON EXCEPT TO BE GIVEN OF THE FATHER Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. John 6:65. 4. THE FATHER SEEKETH AND JUDGETH And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. John 8:50. 5. BELIEVE THE WORKS THAT YE MAY BELIEVE IN THE FATHER AND SON If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 10:37, 38. 6. THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 12:50. 7. NO MAN CAN COME TO THE SON EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM No man can come to me, except the Father which bath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44.
XVII. Labor for the True Bread 1. THE JEWS SOUGHT CHRIST FOR THE LOAVES AND FISHES Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. John 6:26. 2. CHRIST WARNED THEM NOT TO LABOUR FOR MEAT THAT PERISHETH Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. John 6:27. 3. LABOUR FOR THE TRUE BREAD; CHRIST IS THAT BREAD I am that bread of life. John 6:48. 4. THE FATHERS ATE MANNA AND ARE DEAD Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. John 6:49. 5. THERE IS LIFE ONLY BY EATING THE FLESH AND BLOOD OF CHRIST Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man. and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6:53. 6. CHRIST'S FLESH IS MEAT INDEED For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. John 6:55. 7. HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD FROM HEAVEN SHALL LIVE FOREVER This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John 6:58.
XVIII. Christ's Promises of the Bread of Life 1. THE FATHER GIVETH THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. John 6:32, 33. 2. HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL NEVER HUNGER I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35. 3. HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL NOT DIE This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. John 6:50. 4. HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL LIVE FOREVER I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

HE THAT BELIEVETH ON CHRIST—OUT OF HIS BELLY SHALL FLOW LIVING WATER If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

IF YE CONTINUE IN CHRIST'S WORD YE ARE HIS DISCIPLES INDEED If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. John 8:31. 3.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 12:23-25.
