So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.”

So Jesus’ brothers advised him, “Leave here and go to Judea so your disciples may see your miracles that you are performing.

A Woman Caught in Adultery

[[ And each one departed to his own house.

The experts in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them

and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.

But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see. Ask him, he is a mature adult. He will speak for himself.”

For this reason his parents said, “He is a mature adult, ask him.”)

After he said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him.”

You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”

Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me,

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)
