²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

² The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

¹⁹ You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

²⁰ But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

⁴² Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess it, so that they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue,

⁴³ for they loved men's praise more than God's praise.

³⁰ As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"

¹⁴ When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."

¹³ The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹³ Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

¹⁶ These in like manner are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

¹⁷ They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

²⁰ What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;

²¹ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
