JOHN + +St. John the Apostle and Evangelist was the son of Zebedee and Salome, +brother to James the Greater. He was called the Beloved disciple of +Christ and stood by at his Crucifixion. He wrote the Gospel after the +other Evangelists, about sixty-three years after our Lord's Ascension. +Many things that they had omitted were supplied by him. The original was +written in Greek; and by the Greeks he is titled: The Divine, St. Jerome +relates that, when he was earnestly requested by the brethren to write +the Gospel, he answered he would do it, if by ordering a common fast, +they would all put up their prayers together to the Almighty God; which +being ended replenished with the clearest and fullest revelation coming +from Heaven, he burst forth into that preface: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE +WORD. + + +John Chapter 1 + +The divinity and incarnation of Christ. John bears witness of him. He +begins to call his disciples. + +1:1. In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the +Word was God. + +1:2. The same was in the beginning with God. + +1:3. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that +was made. + +1:4. In him was life: and the life was the light of men. + +1:5. And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not +comprehend it. + +1:6. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. + +1:7. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that +all men might believe through him. + +1:8. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. + +1:9. That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh +into this world. + +1:10. He was in the world: and the world was made by him: and the world +knew him not. + +1:11. He came unto his own: and his own received him not. + +1:12. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the +sons of God, to them that believe in his name. + +1:13. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of +the will of man, but of God. + +1:14. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his +glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father), full of +grace and truth. + +1:15. John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying: This was he of +whom I spoke: He that shall come after me is preferred before me: +because he was before me. + +1:16. And of his fulness we all have received: and grace for grace. + +1:17. For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth came by Jesus +Christ. + +1:18. No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in +the Bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. + +1:19. And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from +Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou? + +1:20. And he confessed and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the +Christ. + +1:21. And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am +not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No. + +1:22. They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an +answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself? + +1:23. He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make +straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias. + +1:24. And they that were sent were of the Pharisees. + +1:25. And they asked him and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if +thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? + +1:26. John answered them, saying: I baptize with water: but there hath +stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. + +1:27. The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before +me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose. + +1:28. These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John +was baptizing. + +1:29. The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold +the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. + +1:30. This is he of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is +preferred before me: because he was before me. + +1:31. And I knew him not: but that he may be made manifest in Israel, +therefore am I come baptizing with water. + +1:32. And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as +a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him. + +1:33. And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water said +to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining +upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. + +1:34. And I saw: and I gave testimony that this is the Son of God. + +1:35. The next day again John stood and two of his disciples. + +1:36. And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. + +1:37. And the two disciples heard him speak: and they followed Jesus. + +1:38. And Jesus turning and seeing them following him, saith to them: +What seek you? Who said to him: Rabbi (which is to say, being +interpreted, Master), where dwellest thou? + +1:39. He saith to them: Come and see. They came and saw where he abode: +and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour. + +1:40. And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had +heard of John and followed him. + +1:41. He findeth first his brother Simon and saith to him: We have found +the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. + +1:42. And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: +Thou art Simon the son of Jona. Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is +interpreted Peter. + +1:43. On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee: and he +findeth Philip, And Jesus saith to him: follow me. + +1:44. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. + +1:45. Philip findeth Nathanael and saith to him: We have found him of +whom Moses, in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of +Joseph of Nazareth. + +1:46. And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from +Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see. + +1:47. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and he saith of him: Behold an +Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. + +1:48. Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and +said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the +fig tree, I saw thee. + +1:49. Nathanael answered him and said: Rabbi: Thou art the Son of God. +Thou art the King of Israel. + +1:50. Jesus answered and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw +thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt +thou see. + +1:51. And he saith to him: Amen, amen, I say to you, you shall see the +heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the +Son of man. + +John Chapter 2 + +Christ changes water into wine. He casts the sellers out of the temple. + +2:1. And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the +mother of Jesus was there. + +2:2. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. + +2:3. And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have +no wine. + +2:4. And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? My +hour is not yet come. + +What is that to me, etc... These words of our Saviour, spoken to his +mother, have been understood by some commentators as harsh, they not +considering the next following verse: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do +ye, which plainly shows that his mother knew of the miracle that he was +to perform, and that it was at her request he wrought it; besides the +manner of speaking the words as to the tone, and the countenance shown +at the same time, which could only be known to those who were present, +or from what had followed: for words indicating anger in one tone of +voice, would be understood quite the reverse in another. + +2:5. His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do +ye. + +2:6. Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the +manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures +apiece. + +2:7. Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled +them up to the brim. + +2:8. And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now and carry to the chief +steward of the feast. And they carried it. + +2:9. And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine and knew +not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water: the +chief steward calleth the bridegroom, + +2:10. And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and +when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept +the good wine until now. + +2:11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and +manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. + +2:12. After this, he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother and his +brethren and his disciples: and they remained there not many days. + +2:13. And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and Jesus went up to +Jerusalem. + +2:14. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and +doves, and the changers of money sitting. + +2:15. And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he +drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the +money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew. + +2:16. And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and +make not the house of my Father a house of traffic. + +2:17. And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy +house hath eaten me up. + +2:18. The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost +thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things? + +2:19. Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three +days I will raise it up. + +2:20. The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in +building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days? + +2:21. But he spoke of the temple of his body. + +2:22. When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples +remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and +the word that Jesus had said. + +2:23. Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, +many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. + +2:24. But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all +men, + +2:25. And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: +for he knew what was in man. + +John Chapter 3 + +Christ's discourse with Nicodemus. John's testimony. + +3:1. And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of +the Jews. + +3:2. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know +that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs +which thou dost, unless God be with him. + +3:3. Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a +man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. + +3:4. Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can +he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again? + +3:5. Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born +again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of +God. + +Unless a man be born again, etc... By these words our Saviour hath +declared the necessity of baptism; and by the word water it is evident +that the application of it is necessary with the words. Matt. 28. 19. + +3:6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of +the Spirit is spirit. + +3:7. Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again. + +3:8. The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but +thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one +that is born of the Spirit. + +3:9. Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be done? + +3:10. Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and +knowest not these things? + +3:11. Amen, amen, I say to thee that we speak what we know and we +testify what we have seen: and you receive not our testimony. + +3:12. If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how +will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things? + +3:13. And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from +heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. + +3:14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son +of man be lifted up: + +3:15. That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life +everlasting. + +3:16. For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that +whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life +everlasting. + +3:17. For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but +that the world may be saved by him. + +3:18. He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not +believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the +only begotten Son of God. + +Is not judged... He that believeth, viz., by a faith working through +charity, is not judged, that is, is not condemned; but the obstinate +unbeliever is judged, that is, condemned already, by retrenching himself +from the society of Christ and his church. + +3:19. And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world +and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil. + +The judgment... That is, the cause of his comdemnation. + +3:20. For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to +the light, that his works may not be reproved. + +3:21. But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be +made manifest: because they are done in God. + +He that doth truth... that is, he that acteth according to truth, which +here signifies the Law of God. Thy law is truth. Psa. 118. 142. + +3:22. After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of +Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized. + +3:23. And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was +much water there. And they came and were baptized. + +3:24. For John was not yet cast into prison. + +3:25. And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and +the Jews, concerning purification. + +3:26. And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with +thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he +baptizeth and all men come to him. + +3:27. John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it +be given him from heaven. + +3:28. You yourselves do bear me witness that I said that I am not +Christ, but that I am sent before him. + +3:29. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the +bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of +the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. + +3:30. He must increase: but I must decrease. + +3:31. He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, +of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from +heaven is above all. + +3:32. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man +receiveth his testimony. + +3:33. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God +is true. + +3:34. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth +not give the Spirit by measure. + +3:35. The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his +hand. + +3:36. He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that +believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth +on him. + +John Chapter 4 + +Christ talks with the Samaritan woman. He heals the ruler's son. + +4:1. When Jesus therefore understood the Pharisees had heard that Jesus +maketh more disciples and baptizeth more than John, + +4:2. (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples), + +4:3. He left Judea and went again into Galilee. + +4:4. And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria. + +4:5. He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, +near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. + +4:6. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his +journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour. + +4:7. There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: +Give me to drink. + +4:8. For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats. + +4:9. Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew; +ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not +communicate with the Samaritans. + +4:10. Jesus answered and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God +and who he is that saith to thee: Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst +have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. + +4:11. The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, +and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou living water? + +4:12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and +drank thereof, himself and his children and his cattle? + +4:13. Jesus answered and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water +shall thirst again: but he that shall drink of the water that I will +give him shall not thirst for ever. + +4:14. But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain +of water, springing up into life everlasting. + +4:15. The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not +thirst, nor come hither to draw. + +4:16. Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. + +4:17. The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: +Thou hast said well: I have no husband. + +4:18. For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not +thy husband. This, thou hast said truly. + +4:19. The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. + +4:20. Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem +is the place where men must adore. + +This mountain... Garizim, where the Samaritans had their schismatical +temple. + +4:21. Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when +you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father. + +4:22. You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. +For salvation is of the Jews. + +4:23. But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore +the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to +adore him. + +4:24. God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit +and in truth. + +4:25. The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is +called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things. + +4:26. Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee. + +4:27. And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he +talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why +talkest thou with her? + +4:28. The woman therefore left her waterpot and went her way into the +city and saith to the men there: + +4:29. Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have +done. Is not he the Christ? + +4:30. They went therefore out of the city and came unto him. + +4:31. In the mean time, the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat. + +4:32. But he said to them: I have meat to eat which you know not. + +4:33. The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought +him to eat? + +4:34. Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent +me, that I may perfect his work. + +4:35. Do not you say: There are yet four months, and then the harvest +cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries. +For they are white already to harvest. + +4:36. And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life +everlasting: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice +together. + +4:37. For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, +and it is another that reapeth. + +4:38. I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour. Others +have laboured: and you have entered into their labours. + +4:39. Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the +word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I +have done. + +4:40. So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he +would tarry there. And he abode there two days. + +4:41. And many more believed in him, because of his own word. + +4:42. And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: +for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the Saviour +of the world. + +4:43. Now after two days, he departed thence and went into Galilee. + +4:44. For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in +his own country. + +4:45. And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, +having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day: +for they also went to the festival day. + +4:46. He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the +water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at +Capharnaum. + +4:47. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, sent +to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the +point of death. + +4:48. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you +believe not. + +4:49. The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die. + +4:50. Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy son liveth. The man believed +the word which Jesus said to him and went his way. + +4:51. And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought +word, saying, that his son lived. + +4:52. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And +they said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him. + +4:53. The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus +said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house. + +4:54. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come +out of Judea. into Galilee. + +John Chapter 5 + +Christ heals on the sabbath the man languishing thirty-eight years. His +discourse upon this occasion. + +5:1. After these things was a festival day of the Jews: and Jesus went +up to Jerusalem. + +5:2. Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew +is named Bethsaida, having five porches. + +Probatica... That is, the sheep pond; either so called, because the +sheep were washed therein, that were to be offered up in sacrifice in +the temple, or because it was near the sheep gate. That this was a pond +where miracles were wrought is evident from the sacred text; and also +that the water had no natural virtue to heal, as one only of those put +in after the motion of the water was restored to health; for if the +water had the healing quality, the others would have the like benefit, +being put into it about the same time. + +5:3. In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of +withered: waiting for the moving of the water. + +5:4. And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond +and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after +the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay +under. + +5:5. And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty +years under his infirmity. + +5:6. Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long +time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? + +5:7. The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is +troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth +down before me. + +5:8. Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed and walk. + +5:9. And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and +walked. And it was the sabbath that day. + +5:10. The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath. +It is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. + +5:11. He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me: Take up +thy bed and walk. + +5:12. They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee: Take +up thy bed and walk? + +5:13. But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside +from the multitude standing in the place. + +5:14. Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple and saith to him: +Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to +thee. + +5:15. The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had +made him whole. + +5:16. Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these +things on the sabbath. + +5:17. But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work. + +5:18. Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because +he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, +making himself equal to God. + +5:19. Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, +the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father +doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like +manner. + +5:20. For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things which +himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you +may wonder. + +5:21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: so the Son +also giveth life to whom he will. + +5:22. For neither does the Father judge any man: but hath given all +judgment to the Son. + +5:23. That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who +honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. + +5:24. Amen, amen, I say unto you that he who heareth my word and +believeth him that sent me hath life everlasting: and cometh not into +judgment, but is passed from death to life. + +5:25. Amen, amen, I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when +the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear +shall live. + +5:26. For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the +Son also to have life in himself. + +5:27. And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son +of man. + +5:28. Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in +the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. + +5:29. And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the +resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the +resurrection of judgment. + +Unto the resurrection of judgment... That is, condemnation. + +5:30. I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge. And my +judgment is just: because I seek not my own will but the will of him +that sent me. + +5:31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. + +5:32. There is another that beareth witness of me: and I know that the +witness which he witnesseth of me is true. + +5:33. You sent to John: and he gave testimony to the truth. + +5:34. But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that +you may be saved. + +5:35. He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a +time to rejoice in his light. + +5:36. But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works +which the Father hath given me to perfect, the works themselves which I +do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me. + +5:37. And the Father himself who hath sent me hath given testimony of +me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. + +5:38. And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, +him you believe not. + +5:39. Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life +everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me. + +Or... You search the scriptures. Scrutamini... It is not a command for +all to read the scriptures; but a reproach to the Pharisees, that +reading the scriptures as they did, and thinking to find everlasting +life in them, they would not receive him to whom all those scriptures +gave testimony, and through whom alone they could have that true life. + +5:40. And you will not come to me that you may have life. + +5:41. I receive not glory from men. + +5:42. But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. + +5:43. I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if +another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. + +5:44. How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the +glory which is from God alone, you do not seek? + +5:45. Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that +accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. + +5:46. For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: +for he wrote of me. + +5:47. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my +words? + +John Chapter 6 + +Christ feeds five thousand with five loaves. He walks upon the sea and +discourses of the bread of life. + +6:1. After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is +that of Tiberias. + +6:2. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles +which he did on them that were diseased. + +6:3. Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his +disciples. + +6:4. Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. + +6:5. When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very +great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy +bread, that these may eat? + +6:6. And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do. + +6:7. Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not +sufficient for them that every one may take a little. + +6:8. One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to +him: + +6:9. There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. +But what are these among so many? + +6:10. Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass +in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. + +6:11. And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he +distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the +fishes, as much as they would. + +6:12. And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the +fragments that remain, lest they be lost. + +6:13. They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the +fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to +them that had eaten. + +6:14. Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, +said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world. + +6:15. Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by +force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone. + +6:16. And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. + +6:17. And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to +Capharnaum. And it was now dark: and Jesus was not come unto them. + +6:18. And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew. + +6:19. When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty +furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh to the +ship. And they were afraid. + +6:20. But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid. + +6:21. They were willing therefore to take him into the ship. And +presently the ship was at the land to which they were going. + +6:22. The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the +sea saw that there was no other ship there but one: and that Jesus had +not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples +were gone away alone. + +6:23. But other ships came in from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where +they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks. + +6:24. When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his +disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. + +6:25. And when they had found him on that other side of the sea, they +said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither? + +6:26. Jesus answered them and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek +me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the +loaves and were filled. + +6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which +endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For +him hath God, the Father, sealed. + +6:28. They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work +the works of God? + +6:29. Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you +believe in him whom he hath sent. + +6:30. They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew +that we may see and may believe thee? What dost thou work? + +6:31. Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave +them bread from heaven to eat. + +6:32. Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you; Moses gave you +not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from +heaven. + +6:33. For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and +giveth life to the world. + +6:34. They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread. + +6:35. And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that cometh to +me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. + +6:36. But I said unto you that you also have seen me, and you believe +not. + +6:37. All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me: and him that +cometh to me, I will not cast out. + +6:38. Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will but the +will of him that sent me. + +6:39. Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that +he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in +the last day. + +6:40. And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who +seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting. And I will +raise him up in the last day. + +6:41. The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the +living bread which came down from heaven. + +6:42. And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father +and mother we know? How then saith he: I came down from heaven? + +6:43. Jesus therefore answered and said to them: Murmur not among +yourselves. + +6:44. No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw +him. And I will raise him up in the last day. + +Draw him... Not by compulsion, nor by laying the free will under any +necessity, but by the strong and sweet motions of his heavenly grace. + +6:45. It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of +God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh +forth me. + +6:46. Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he +hath seen the Father. + +6:47. Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath +everlasting life. + +6:48. I am the bread of life. + +6:49. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead. + +6:50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man +eat of it, he may not die. + +6:51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. + +6:52. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the +bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. + +6:53. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this +man give us his flesh to eat? + +6:54. Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you +eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have +life in you. + +Except you eat and drink, etc... To receive the body and blood of +Christ, is a divine precept, insinuated in this text; which the faithful +fulfil, though they receive but in one kind; because in one kind they +receive both body and blood, which cannot be separated from each other. +Hence, life eternal is here promised to the worthy receiving, though but +in one kind. Ver. 52. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for +ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh for the life of the +world. Ver. 58. He that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. Ver. +59. He that eateth this bread, shall liver for ever. + +6:55. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting +life: and I will raise him up in the last day. + +6:56. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. + +6:57. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I +in him. + +6:58. As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he +that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. + +6:59. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers +did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for +ever. + +6:60. These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum. + +6:61. Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is +hard; and who can hear it? + +6:62. But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, +said to them: Doth this scandalize you? + +6:63. If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was +before? + +If then you shall see, etc... Christ by mentioning his ascension, by +this instance of his power and divinity, would confirm the truth of what +he had before asserted; and at the same time correct their gross +apprehension of eating his flesh, and drinking his blood, in a vulgar +and carnal manner, by letting them know he should take his whole body +living with him to heaven; and consequently not suffer it to be as they +supposed, divided, mangled, and consumed upon earth. + +6:64. It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The +words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. + +The flesh profiteth nothing... Dead flesh separated from the spirit, in +the gross manner they supposed they were to eat his flesh, would profit +nothing. Neither doth man's flesh, that is to say, man's natural and +carnal apprehension, (which refuses to be subject to the spirit, and +words of Christ,) profit any thing. But it would be the height of +blasphemy, to say the living flesh of Christ (which we receive in the +blessed sacarament, with his spirit, that is, with his soul and +divinity) profiteth nothing. For if Christ's flesh had profitedus +nothing, he would never have taken flesh for us, nor died in us nothing, +he would never have taken flesh for us, nor died in the flesh for us. +Are spirit and life... By proposing to you a heavenly sacrament, in +which you shall receive, in a wonderful manner, spirit, grace, and life, +in its very fountain. + +6:65. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from +the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that +would betray him. + +6:66. And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to +me, unless it be given him by my Father. + +6:67. After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more +with him. + +6:68. Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away? + +6:69. And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou +hast the words of eternal life. + +6:70. And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the +Son of God. + +6:71. Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve? And one of you +is a devil. + +6:72. Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was +about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve. + +John Chapter 7 + +Christ goes up to the feast of the tabernacles. He teaches in the +temple. + +7:1. After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk +in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. + +7:2. Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand. + +7:3. And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, +that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. + +7:4. For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself +seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to +the world. + +7:5. For neither did his brethren believe in him. + +7:6. Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is +always ready. + +7:7. The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give +testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil, + +7:8. Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival +day, because my time is not accomplished. + +7:9. When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. + +7:10. But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the +feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. + +7:11. The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where +is he? + +7:12. And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. +For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth +the people. + +7:13. Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews. + +7:14. Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple +and taught. + +7:15. And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, +having never learned? + +7:16. Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his +that sent me. + +7:17. If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, +whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. + +7:18. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that +seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no +injustice in him. + +7:19. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the +law? + +7:20. Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou +hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill thee? + +7:21. Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all +wonder. + +7:22. Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of +Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man. + +7:23. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of +Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the +whole man on the sabbath day? + +7:24. Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment. + +7:25. Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to +kill? + +7:26. And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have +the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ? + +7:27. But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no +man knoweth, whence he is. + +7:28. Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You +both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but +he that sent me is true, whom you know not. + +7:29. I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me. + +7:30. They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on +him, because his hour was not yet come. + +7:31. But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ +cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth? + +7:32. The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning +him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him. + +7:33. Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: +and then I go to him that sent me. + +7:34. You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither +you cannot come. + +7:35. The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that +we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles +and teach the Gentiles? + +7:36. What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall +not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come? + +7:37. And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and +cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. + +7:38. He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly +shall flow rivers of living water. + +7:39. Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who +believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was +not yet glorified. + +7:40. Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of +his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. + +7:41. Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ +come out of Galilee? + +7:42. Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of +David and from Bethlehem the town where David was? + +7:43. So there arose a dissension among the people because of him. + +7:44. And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands +upon him. + +7:45. The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the +Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him? + +7:46. The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man. + +7:47. The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced? + +7:48. Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? + +7:49. But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed. + +7:50. Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one +of them): + +7:51. Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what +he doth? + +7:52. They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search +the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not. + +7:53. And every man returned to his own house. + +John Chapter 8 + +The woman taken in adultery. Christ justifies his doctrine. + +8:1. And Jesus went unto mount Olivet. + +8:2. And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the +people came to him. And sitting down he taught them. + +8:3. And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in +adultery: and they set her in the midst, + +8:4. And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery. + +8:5. Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what +sayest thou? + +8:6. And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But +Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. + +8:7. When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and +said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a +stone at her. + +8:8. And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. + +8:9. But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the +eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst. + +8:10. Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they +that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee? + +8:11. Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn +thee. Go, and now sin no more. + +8:12. Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of +the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have +the light of life. + +8:13. The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of +thyself. Thy testimony is not true. + +8:14. Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of +myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go. + +8:15. You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man. + +8:16. And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, +but I and the Father that sent me. + +8:17. And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is +true. + +8:18. I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent +me giveth testimony of me. + +8:19. They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: +Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you +would know my Father also. + +8:20. These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: +and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. + +8:21. Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go: and you shall seek me. +And you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come. + +8:22. The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: +Whither I go you cannot come? + +8:23. And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You +are of this world: I am not of this world. + +8:24. Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if +you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. + +8:25. They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The +beginning, who also speak unto you. + +8:26. Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent +me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in +the world. + +8:27. And they understood not that he called God his Father. + +8:28. Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the +Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of +myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak. + +8:29. And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For +I do always the things that please him. + +8:30. When he spoke these things, many believed in him. + +8:31. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him: If you continue in +my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. + +8:32. And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free. + +8:33. They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham: and we have never +been slaves to any man. How sayest thou: You shall be free? + +8:34. Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever +committeth sin is the servant of sin. + +8:35. Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son +abideth for ever. + +8:36. If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free +indeed. + +8:37. I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill +me, because my word hath no place in you. + +8:38. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the +things that you have seen with your father. + +8:39. They answered and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith +them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. + +8:40. But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to +you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not. + +8:41. You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We +are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. + +8:42. Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would +indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of +myself: but he sent me. + +8:43. Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. + +8:44. You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father +you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in +the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he +speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. + +8:45. But if I say the truth, you believe me not. + +8:46. Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, +why do you not believe me: + +8:47. He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear +them not, because you are not of God. + +8:48. The Jews therefore answered and said to him: Do not we say well +that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil? + +8:49. Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father. And +you have dishonoured me. + +8:50. But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and +judgeth. + +8:51. Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not +see death for ever. + +8:52. The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. +Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my +word, he shall not taste death for ever. + +8:53. Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead? And the +prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? + +8:54. Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is +my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. + +8:55. And you have not known him: but I know him. And if I shall say +that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him +and do keep his word. + +8:56. Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it +and was glad. + +8:57. The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old. +And hast thou seen Abraham? + +8:58. Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was +made, I AM. + +8:59. They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid +himself and went out of the temple. + +John Chapter 9 + +He gives sight to the man born blind. + +9:1. And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth. + +9:2. And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or +his parents, that he should be born blind? + +9:3. Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but +that the works of God should be made manifest in him. + +9:4. I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the +night cometh, when no man can work. + +9:5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. + +9:6. When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay +of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes, + +9:7. And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is +interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed: and he came seeing. + +9:8. The neighbours, therefore, and they who had seen him before that he +was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This +is he. + +9:9. But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he. + +9:10. They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened? + +9:11. He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed +my eyes and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe and wash. And I went: I +washed: and I see. + +9:12. And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not. + +9:13. They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees. + +9:14. Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his +eyes. + +9:15. Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his +sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and +I see. + +9:16. Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who +keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner +do such miracles? And there was a division among them. + +9:17. They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him +that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet. + +9:18. The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been +blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him +that had received his sight, + +9:19. And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born +blind? How then doth he now see? + +9:20. His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son +and that he was born blind: + +9:21. But how he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we +know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself. + +9:22. These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for +the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should +confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. + +9:23. Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself. + +9:24. They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said +to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. + +9:25. He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One +thing I know, that whereas I was blind now I see. + +9:26. They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy +eyes? + +9:27. He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why +would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples? + +9:28. They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we +are the disciples of Moses. + +9:29. We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not +from whence he is. + +9:30. The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful +thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes. + +9:31. Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a +server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth. + +9:32. From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any +man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. + +9:33. Unless this man were of God, he could not do anything. + +9:34. They answered and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and +dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. + +9:35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, +he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? + +9:36. He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? + +9:37. And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that +talketh with thee. + +9:38. And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him. + +9:39. And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world: that they +who see not may see; and they who see may become blind. + +I am come, etc... Not that Christ came for that end, that any one should +be made blind: but that the Jews, by the abuse of his coming, and by +their not receiving him, brought upon themselves this judgment of +blindness. + +9:40. And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said +unto him: Are we also blind? + +9:41. Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: +but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth. + +If you were blind, etc... If you were invincibly ignorant, and had +neither read the scriptures, nor seen my miracles, you would not be +guilty of the sin of infidelity: but now, as you boast of your knowledge +of the scriptures, you are inexcusable. + +John Chapter 10 + +Christ is the door and the good shepherd. He and his Father are one. + +10:1. Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into +the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a +robber. + +10:2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. + +10:3. To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he +calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. + +10:4. And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and +the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. + +10:5. But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they +know not the voice of strangers. + +10:6. This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he +spoke. + +10:7. Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am +the door of the sheep. + +10:8. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the +sheep heard them not. + +10:9. I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and +he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures. + +10:10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to +destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more +abundantly. + +10:11. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his +sheep. + +10:12. But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the +sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: +and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep, + +10:13. And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no +care for the sheep. + +10:14. I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. + +10:15. As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down +my life for my sheep. + +10:16. And other sheep I have that 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. + +10:17. Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, +that I may take it again. + +10:18. No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And +I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This +commandment have I received of my Father. + +10:19. A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words. + +10:20. And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you +him? + +10:21. Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. +Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? + +10:22. And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was +winter. + +10:23. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. + +10:24. The Jews therefore came round about him and said to him: How long +dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us +plainly. + +10:25. Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the +works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me. + +10:26. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. + +10:27. My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me. + +10:28. And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for +ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand. + +10:29. That which my Father hath given me is greater than all: and no +one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father. + +10:30. I and the Father are one. + +I and the Father are one... That is, one divine nature, but two distinct +persons. + +10:31. The Jews then took up stones to stone him. + +10:32. Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my +Father. For which of those works do you stone me? + +10:33. The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for +blasphemy: and because that thou being a, man, makest thyself God. + +10:34. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you +are gods? + +10:35. If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken; and +the scripture cannot be broken: + +10:36. Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into +the world: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I am the Son of God? + +10:37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. + +10:38. But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: +that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the +Father. + +10:39. They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their +hands. + +10:40. And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John +was baptizing first. And there he abode. + +10:41. And many resorted to him: and they said: John indeed did no sign. + +10:42. But all things whatsoever John said of this man were true. And +many believed n him. + +John Chapter 11 + +Christ raises Lazarus to life. The rulers resolve to put him to death. + +11:1. Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of +the town of Mary and of Martha her sister. + +11:2. (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped +his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.) + +11:3. His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom +thou lovest is sick. + +11:4. And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto +death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by +it. + +11:5. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister Mary and Lazarus. + +11:6. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in +the same place two days. + +11:7. Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea +again. + +11:8. The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone +thee. And goest thou thither again? + +11:9. Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man +walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this +world: + +11:10. But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is +not in him. + +11:11. These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our +friend sleepeth: but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. + +11:12. His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do +well. + +11:13. But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of +the repose of sleep. + +11:14. Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. + +11:15. And I am glad, for your sakes; that I was not there, that you may +believe. But, let us go to him. + +11:16. Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow +disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. + +11:17. Jesus therefore came: and found that he had been four days +already in the grave. + +11:18. (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.) + +11:19. And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort +them concerning their brother. + +11:20. Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was come, went +to meet him: but Mary sat at home. + +11:21. Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my +brother had not died. + +11:22. But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God +will give it thee. + +11:23. Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. + +11:24. Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the +resurrection at the last day. + +11:25. Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that +believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: + +11:26. And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for +ever. Believest thou this? + +11:27. She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art +Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world. + +11:28. And when she had said these things, she went and called her +sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come and calleth for thee. + +11:29. She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him. + +11:30. For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in +that place where Martha had met him. + +11:31. The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted +her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, +followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there. + +11:32. When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she +fell down at his feet and saith to him. Lord, if thou hadst been here, +my brother had not died. + +11:33. Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were +come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself, + +11:34. And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come +and see. + +11:35. And Jesus wept. + +11:36. The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him. + +11:37. But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the +man born blind have caused that this man should not die? + +11:38. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the +sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it. + +11:39. Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that +was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of +four days. + +11:40. Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee that if thou believe, +thou shalt see the glory of God? + +11:41. They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his +eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. + +11:42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people +who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast +sent me. + +11:43. When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: +Lazarus, come forth. + +11:44. And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and +hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. +Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go. + +11:45. Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and +had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. + +11:46. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things +that Jesus had done. + +11:47. The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a +council and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles? + +11:48. If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans +will come, and take away our place and nation. + +11:49. But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, +said to them: You know nothing. + +11:50. Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man +should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not. + +11:51. And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of +that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. + +11:52. And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the +children of God that were dispersed. + +11:53. From that day therefore they devised to put him to death. + +11:54. Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went +into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And +there he abode with his disciples. + +11:55. And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and many from the country +went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch, to purify themselves. + +11:56. They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with +another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to +the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a +commandment that, if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that +they might apprehend him. + +John Chapter 12 + +The anointing of Christ's feet. His riding into Jerusalem upon an ass. A +voice from heaven. + +12:1. Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, +where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. + +12:2. And they made him a supper there: and Martha served. But Lazarus +was one of them that were at table with him. + +12:3. Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of +great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her +hair. And the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. + +12:4. Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to +betray him, said: + +12:5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given +to the poor? + +12:6. Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he +was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put +therein. + +12:7. Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against +the day of my burial. + +12:8. For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always. + +See the annotation of St. Matt. 26. 11. + +12:9. A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; +and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see +Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. + +12:10. But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also: + +12:11. Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away and +believed in Jesus. + +12:12. And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the +festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, + +12:13. Took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried +Hosanna. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of +Israel. + +12:14. And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it, as it is written: + +12:15. Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold thy king cometh, sitting on an +ass's colt. + +12:16. These things his disciples did not know at the first: but when +Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written +of him and that they had done these things to him. + +12:17. The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when +he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead. + +12:18. For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they +heard that he had done this miracle. + +12:19. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we +prevail nothing? Behold, the whole world is gone after him. + +12:20. Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore +on the festival day. + +12:21. These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, +and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus. + +12:22. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told +Jesus. + +12:23. But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come that the Son of +man should be glorified. + +12:24. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into +the ground die, + +12:25. Itself remaineth 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 keepeth it unto life eternal. + +12:26. If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, +there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my +Father honour. + +12:27. Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me +from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour. + +12:28. Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I +have both glorified it and will glorify it again. + +12:29. The multitude therefore that stood and heard said that it +thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him. + +12:30. Jesus answered and said: This voice came not because of me, but +for your sakes. + +12:31. Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this +world be cast out. + +12:32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to +myself. + +12:33. (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.) + +12:34. The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law that +Christ abideth for ever. And how sayest thou: The Son of man must be +lifted up? Who is this Son of man? + +12:35. Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is +among you. Walk whilst you have the light, and the darkness overtake you +not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither be goeth. + +12:36. Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be +the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and +hid himself from them. + +12:37. And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they +believed not in him: + +12:38. That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which +he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? And to whom hath the arm +of the Lord been revealed? + +12:39. Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again: + +They could not believe... Because they would not, saith St. Augustine, +Tract. 33, in Joan. See the annotation, St. Mark 4. 12. + +12:40. He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they +should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart and be +converted: and I should heal them. + +12:41. These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of +him. + +12:42. However, many of the chief men also believed in him: but because +of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast +out of the synagogue. + +12:43. For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. + +12:44. But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not +believe in me, but in him that sent me. + +12:45. And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. + +12:46. I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me +may not remain in darkness. + +12:47. And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge +him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. + +12:48. He that despiseth 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. + +12:49. For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he +gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak. + +12:50. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things +therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak. + +John Chapter 13 + +Christ washes his disciples' feet. The treason of Judas. The new +commandment of love. + +13:1. Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour +was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having +loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. + +Before the festival day of the pasch... This was the fourth and last +pasch of the ministry of Christ, and according to the common +computation, was in the thirty-third year of our Lord: and in the year +of the world 4036. Some chronologers are of opinion that our Saviour +suffered in the thirty-seventh year of his age: but these different +opinions on this subject are of no consequence. + +13:2. And when supper was done (the devil having now put into the heart +of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him), + +13:3. Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands +and that he came from God and goeth to God, + +13:4. He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having +taken a towel, girded himself. + +13:5. After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the +feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was +girded. + +13:6. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, +dost thou wash my feet? + +13:7. Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now; +but thou shalt know hereafter. + +13:8. Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered +him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. + +13:9. Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my +hands and my head. + +13:10. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his +feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. + +13:11. For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: +You are not all clean. + +13:12. Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being +set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you? + +13:13. You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am. + +13:14. If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you +also ought to wash one another's feet. + +13:15. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so +you do also. + +13:16. Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his +lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. + +13:17. If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them. + +13:18. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the +scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up +his heel against me, + +13:19. At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall +come to pass, you may believe that I am he. + +13:20. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send +receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. + +13:21. When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and +he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall +betray me. + +13:22. The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom +he spoke. + +13:23. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom +Jesus loved. + +13:24. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him and said to him: Who is it +of whom he speaketh? + +13:25. He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, +who is it? + +13:26. Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And +when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of +Simon. + +13:27. And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to +him: That which thou dost, do quickly. + +That which thou dost, do quickly... It is not a license, much less a +command, to go about his treason: but a signification to him that Christ +would not hinder or resist what he was about, do it as soon as he +pleased: but was both ready and desirous to suffer for our redemption. + +13:28. Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto +him. + +13:29. For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had +said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival +day: or that he should give something to the poor. + +13:30. He therefore, having received the morsel, went out immediately. +And it was night. + +13:31. When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man +glorified; and God is glorified in him. + +13:32. If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself: +and immediately will he glorify him. + +13:33. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek +me. And as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to +you now. + +13:34. A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as +I have loved you, that you also love one another. + +13:35. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have +love one for another. + +13:36. Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus +answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt +follow hereafter. + +13:37. Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down +my life for thee. + +13:38. Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, +amen, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice. + +John Chapter 14 + +Christ's discourse after his last supper. + +14:1. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also +in me. + +14:2. In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have +told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. + +14:3. And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again +and will take you to myself: that where I am, you also may be. + +14:4. And whither I go you know: and the way you know. + +14:5. Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest. And +how can we know the way? + +14:6. Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No +man cometh to the Father, but by me. + +14:7. If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father +also: and from henceforth you shall know him. And you have seen him. + +14:8. Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough +for us. + +14:9. Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have +you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How +sayest thou: Shew us the Father? + +14:10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? +The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father +who abideth in me, he doth the works. + +14:11. Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? + +14:12. Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen, I say to +you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and +greater than these shall he do. + +14:13. Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the +Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in +the Son. + +14:14. If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do. + +14:15. If you love me, keep my commandments. + +14:16. And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another +Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: + +Paraclete... That is, a comforter: or also an advocate; inasmuch as by +inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us. For +ever... Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only +promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors +through all generations. + +14:17. The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it +seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall +abide with you and shall be in you. + +14:18. I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. + +14:19. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see +me: because I live, and you shall live. + +14:20. In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, +and I in you. + +14:21. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that +loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will +love him and will manifest myself to him. + +14:22. Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it that thou +wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? + +14:23. Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep +my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will +make our abode with him. + +14:24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which +you have heard is not mine; but the Father's who sent me. + +14:25. These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you. + +14:26. But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in +my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, +whatsoever I shall have said to you. + +Teach you all things... Here the Holy Ghost is promised to the apostles +and their successors, particularly, in order to teach them all truth, +and to preserve them from error. + +14:27. Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the +world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor +let it be afraid. + +14:28. You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto +you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the +Father: for the Father is greater than I. + +For the Father is greater than I... It is evident, that Christ our Lord +speaks here of himself as he is made man: for as God he is equal to the +Father. (See Phil. 2.) Any difficulty of understanding the meaning of +these words will vanish, when the relative circumstances of the text +here are considered: for Christ being at this time shortly to suffer +death, signified to his apostles his human nature by these very words: +for as God he could not die. And therefore as he was both God and man, +it must follow that according to his humanity he was to die, which the +apostles were soon to see and believe, as he expresses, ver. 29. And now +I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, +you may believe. + +14:29. And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it +shall come to pass, you may believe. + +14:30. I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this +world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. + +14:31. But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the +Father hath given me commandments, so do I. Arise, let us go hence. + +John Chapter 15 + +A continuation of Christ's discourse to his disciples. + +15:1. I am the true vine: and my Father is the husbandman. + +15:2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and +every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth +more fruit. + +15:3. Now you are clean, by reason of the word which I have spoken to +you. + +15:4. Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of +itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you +abide in me. + +15:5. I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in +him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. + +15:6. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and +shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: +and he burneth. + +15:7. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask +whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you. + +15:8. In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much +fruit and become my disciples. + +15:9. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my +love. + +15:10. If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I +also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love. + +15:11. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and +your joy may be filled. + +15:12. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have +loved you. + +15:13. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life +for his friends. + +15:14. You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. + +15:15. I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not +what his lord doth. But I have called you friends because all things, +whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. + +15:16. You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed +you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit +should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, +he may give it you. + +15:17. These things I command you, that you love one another. + +15:18. If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. + +15:19. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but +because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the +world, therefore the world hateth you. + +15:20. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater +than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute +you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. + +15:21. But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: +because they know not him that sent me. + +15:22. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: +but now they have no excuse for their sin. + +15:23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. + +15:24. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath +done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated +both me and my Father. + +15:25. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: +they hated me without cause. + +15:26. But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the +Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall +give testimony of me. + +Whom I will send... This proves, against the modern Greeks, that the +Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Son, as well as from the Father: +otherwise he could not be sent by the Son. + +15:27. And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the +beginning. + +John Chapter 16 + +The conclusion of Christ's last discourse to his disciples. + +16:1. These things have I spoken to you things have I spoken to you that +you may not be scandalized. + +16:2. They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, +that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God. + +16:3. And these things will they do to you; because they have not known +the Father nor me. + +16:4. But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, +you may remember that I told you of them. + +16:5. But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was +with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: +Whither goest thou? + +16:6. But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled +your heart. + +16:7. But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For +if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will +send him to you. + +16:8. And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin and of +justice and of judgment. + +He will convince the world of sin, etc... The Holy Ghost, by his coming +brought over many thousands, first, to a sense of their sin in not +believing in Christ. Secondly, to a conviction of the justice of Christ, +now sitting at the right hand of his Father. And thirdly, to a right +apprehension of the judgment prepared for them that choose to follow +Satan, who is already judged and condemned. + +16:9. Of sin: because they believed not in me. + +16:10. And of justice: because I go to the Father: and you shall see me +no longer. + +16:11. And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already +judged. + +16:12. I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them +now. + +16:13. But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all +truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he +shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall +shew you. + +Will teach you all truth... See the annotation on chap. 14. ver. 26. + +16:14. He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall +shew it to you. + +16:15. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said +that he shall receive of me and shew it to you. + +16:16. A little while, and now you shall not see me: and again a little +while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. + +16:17. Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that +he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a +little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the Father? + +16:18. They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? +We know not what he speaketh. + +16:19. And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him. And he said to +them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little +while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall +see me? + +16:20. Amen, amen, I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the +world shall rejoice: and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow +shall be turned into joy. + +16:21. A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is +come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more +the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. + +16:22. So also you now indeed have sorrow: but I will see you again and +your heart shall rejoice. And your joy no man shall take from you. + +16:23. And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen, I say +to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you. + +16:24. Hitherto, you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you +shall receive; that your joy may be full. + +16:25. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh +when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you +plainly of the Father. + +16:26. In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that +I will ask the Father for you. + +16:27. For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me and +have believed that I came out from God. + +16:28. I came forth from the Father and am come into the world: again I +leave the world and I go to the Father. + +16:29. His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly and +speakest no proverb. + +16:30. Now we know that thou knowest all things and thou needest not +that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth +from God. + +16:31. Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? + +16:32. Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be +scattered every man to his own and shall leave me alone. And yet I am +not alone, because the Father is with me. + +16:33. These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. +In the world you shall have distress. But have confidence. I have +overcome the world. + +John Chapter 17 + +Christ's prayer for his disciples. + +17:1. These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he +said: the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. + +17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give +eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. + +17:3. Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true +God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. + +17:4. I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which +thou gavest me to do. + +17:5. And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory +which I had, before the world was, with thee. + +17:6. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out +of the world. Thine they were: and to me thou gavest them. And they have +kept thy word. + +17:7. Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are +from thee: + +17:8. Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them. And +they have received them and have known in very deed that I came out from +thee: and they have believed that thou didst send me. + +17:9. I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou +hast given me: because they are thine. + +17:10. And all my things are thine, and thine are mine: and I am +glorified in them. + +17:11. And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I +come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou hast given +me: that they may be one, as we also are. + +17:12. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou +gavest me have I kept: and none of them is lost, but the son of +perdition: that the scripture may be fulfilled. + +17:13. And now I come to thee: and these things I speak in the world, +that they may have my joy filled in themselves. + +17:14. I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them: +because they are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. + +17:15. I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but +that thou shouldst keep them from evil. + +17:16. They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. + +17:17. Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth. + +17:18. As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into +the world. + +17:19. And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be +sanctified in truth. + +17:20. And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through +their word shall believe in me. + +17:21. That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; +that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou +hast sent me. + +17:22. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them: +that, they may be one, as we also are one. + +17:23. I in them, and thou in me: that they may be made perfect in one: +and the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them, as +thou hast also loved me. + +17:24. Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me +may be with me: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, +because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world. + +17:25. Just Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known +thee. And these have known that thou hast sent me. + +17:26. And I have made known thy name to them and will make it known: +that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in +them. + +John Chapter 18 + +The history of the passion of Christ. + +18:1. When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples +over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered +with his disciples. + +18:2. And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: because Jesus +had often resorted thither together with his disciples. + +18:3. Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants +from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns +and torches and weapons. + +18:4. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, +went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye? + +18:5. They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am +he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. + +18:6. As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went +backward and fell to the ground. + +18:7. Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus +of Nazareth. + +18:8. Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If therefore you +seek me, let these go their way, + +18:9. That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou +hast given me, I have not lost any one. + +18:10. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant +of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of thee +servant was Malchus. + +18:11. Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the +scabbard. The chalice which my father hath given me, shall I not drink +it? + +18:12. Then the band and the tribune and the servants of the Jews took +Jesus and bound him. + +18:13. And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to +Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year. + +18:14. Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it +was expedient that one man should die for the people. + +18:15. And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And +that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into +the court of the high priest. + +18:16. But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple +therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the +portress and brought in Peter. + +18:17. The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: Art not thou +also one of this man's disciple? He saith I am not. + +18:18. Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because +it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, +standing and warming himself. + +18:19. The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his +doctrine. + +18:20. Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I have +always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews +resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing. + +18:21. Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken +unto them. Behold they know what things I have said. + +18:22. And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing +by gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so? + +18:23. Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the +evil; but if well, why strikest thou me? + +18:24. And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest. + +18:25. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said +therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it +and said: I am not. + +18:26. One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose +ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did not I see thee in the garden with +him? + +18:27. Again therefore Peter denied: and immediately the cock crew. + +18:28. Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it +was morning: and they went not into the hall, that they might not be +defiled, but that they might eat the pasch. + +18:29. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation +bring you against this man? + +18:30. They answered and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we +would not have delivered him up to thee. + +18:31. Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him +according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful +for us to put any man to death. + +18:32. That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, +signifying what death he should die. + +18:33. Pilate therefore went into the hall again and called Jesus and +said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews? + +18:34. Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others +told it thee of me? + +18:35. Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests +have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? + +18:36. Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom +were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not +be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence. + +18:37. Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus +answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for +this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. +Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. + +18:38. Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he +went out again to the Jews and saith to them: I find no cause in him. + +18:39. But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the +Pasch. Will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the +Jews? + +18:40. Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. +Now Barabbas was a robber. + +John Chapter 19 + +The continuation of the history of the Passion of Christ. + +19:1. Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. + +19:2. And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head: +and they put on him a purple garment. + +19:3. And they came to him and said: Hail, king of the Jews. And they +gave him blows. + +19:4. Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: Behold, I +bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him. + +19:5. (Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the +purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man. + +19:6. When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, +they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: +Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. + +19:7. The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he +ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. + +19:8. When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more. + +19:9. And he entered into the hall again; and he said to Jesus: Whence +art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. + +19:10. Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? Knowest +thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release +thee? + +19:11. Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, +unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered +me to thee hath the greater sin. + +19:12. And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews +cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's +friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. + +19:13. Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and +sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, +and in Hebrew Gabbatha. + +19:14. And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour: and +he saith to the Jews: Behold your king. + +The parasceve of the pasch... That is, the day before the paschal +sabbath. The eve of every sabbath was called the parasceve, or day of +preparation. But this was the eve of a high sabbath, viz., that which +fell in the paschal week. + +19:15. But they cried out: Away with him: Away with him: Crucify him. +Pilate saith to them: shall I crucify your king? The chief priests +answered: We have no king but Caesar. + +19:16. Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And +they took Jesus and led him forth. + +19:17. And bearing his own cross, he went forth to the place which is +called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha. + +19:18. Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each +side, and Jesus in the midst. + +19:19. And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And +the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. + +19:20. This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place +where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in +Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. + +19:21. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not: The +King of the Jews. But that he said: I am the King of the Jews. + +19:22. Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written. + +19:23. The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his +garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also +his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. + +19:24. They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast +lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, +saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture +they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. + +19:25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his +mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. + +19:26. When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple +standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. + +19:27. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And +from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. + +19:28. Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, +that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst. + +19:29. Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, +putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put it to his mouth. + +19:30. Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is +consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. + +19:31. Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies +might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great +sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that +they might be taken away. + +19:32. The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the +first, and of the other that was crucified with him. + +19:33. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was +already dead, they did not break his legs. + +19:34. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and +immediately there came out blood and water. + +19:35. And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is +true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. + +19:36. For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: +You shall not break a bone of him. + +19:37. And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom +they pierced. + +19:38. And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a +disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate +that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He +came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. + +19:39. And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by +night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound +weight. + +19:40. They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it in linen +cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. + +19:41. Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and +in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. + +19:42. There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid +Jesus: because the sepulchre was nigh at hand. + +John Chapter 20 + +Christ's resurrection and manifestation to his disciples. + +20:1. And on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen cometh early, when +it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre: and she saw the stone taken away +from the sepulchre. + +20:2. She ran therefore and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other +disciple whom Jesus loved and saith to them: They have taken away the +Lord out of the sepulchre: and we know not where they have laid him. + +20:3. Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple: and they came to +the sepulchre. + +20:4. And they both ran together: and that other disciple did outrun +Peter and came first to the sepulchre. + +20:5. And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying: but yet +he went not in. + +20:6. Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the +sepulchre: and saw the linen cloths lying, + +20:7. And the napkin that had been about his head, not lying with the +linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place. + +20:8. Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the +sepulchre: and he saw and believed. + +20:9. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again +from the dead. + +20:10. The disciples therefore departed again to their home. + +20:11. But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was +weeping, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre, + +20:12. And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and +one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. + +20:13. They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: +Because they have taken away my Lord: and I know not where they have +laid him. + +20:14. When she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus +standing: and she knew not that it was Jesus. + +20:15. Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? +She, thinking that it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast +taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him: and I will take him +away. + +20:16. Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni +(which is to say, Master). + +20:17. Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me: for I am not yet ascended to +my Father. But go to my brethren and say to them: I ascend to my Father +and to your Father, to my God and to your God. + +20:18. Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples: I have seen the +Lord; and these things he said to me. + +20:19. Now when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the +doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of +the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be +to you. + +The doors were shut... The same power which could bring Christ's whole +body, entire in all its dimensions, through the doors, can without the +least question make the same body really present in the sacrament; +though both the one and the other be above our comprehension. + +20:20. And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. +The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. + +20:21. He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father +hath sent me, I also send you. + +20:22. When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: +Receive ye the Holy Ghost. + +20:23. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose +sins you shall retain, they are retained. + +Whose sins, etc... See here the commission, stamped by the broad seal of +heaven, by virtue of which the pastors of Christ's church absolve +repenting sinners upon their confession. + +20:24. Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not +with them when Jesus came. + +20:25. The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. +But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the +nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into +his side, I will not believe. + +20:26. And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas +with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst +and said: Peace be to you. + +20:27. Then he said to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my +hands. And bring hither the hand and put it into my side. And be not +faithless, but believing. + +20:28. Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God. + +20:29. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast +believed: blessed are they that have not seen and have believed. + +20:30. Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, +which are not written in this book. + +20:31. But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the +Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his +name. + +John Chapter 21 + +Christ manifests himself to his disciples by the sea side and gives +Peter the charge of his sheep. + +21:1. After this, Jesus shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of +Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner. + +21:2. There were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called +Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of +Zebedee and two others of his disciples. + +21:3. Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We +also come with thee. And they went forth and entered into the ship: and +that night they caught nothing. + +21:4. But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the +disciples knew not that it was Jesus. + +21:5. Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They +answered him: No. + +21:6. He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship; and +you shall find. They cast therefore: and now they were not able to draw +it, for the multitude of fishes. + +21:7. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the +Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat +about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. + +21:8. But the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far +from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with +fishes. + +21:9. As soon then as they came to land they saw hot coals lying, and a +fish laid thereon, and bread. + +21:10. Jesus saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have +now caught. + +21:11. Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of great +fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, +the net was not broken. + +21:12. Jesus saith to them: Come and dine. And none of them who were at +meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? Knowing that it was the Lord. + +21:13. And Jesus cometh and taketh bread and giveth them: and fish in +like manner. + +21:14. This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his +disciples, after he was risen from the dead. + +21:15. When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon, +son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, +thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. + +21:16. He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He +saith to him: yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: +Feed my lambs. + +21:17. He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou +me? Peter was grieved because he had said to him the third time: Lovest +thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest +that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep. + +Feed my sheep... Our Lord had promised the spiritual supremacy to St. +Peter; St. Matt. 16. 19; and here he fulfils that promise, by charging +him with the superintendency of all his sheep, without exception; and +consequently of his whole flock, that is, of his own church. + +21:18. Amen, amen, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou didst +gird thyself and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be +old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee and +lead thee whither thou wouldst not. + +21:19. And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. +And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me. + +21:20. Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved +following, who also leaned on his breast at supper and said: Lord, who +is he that shall betray thee? + +21:21. Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and +what shall this man do? + +21:22. Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, +what is it to thee? Follow thou me. + +21:23. This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that +disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not +die; but: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? + +21:24. This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things and +hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true. + +21:25. But there are also many other things which Jesus did which, if +they were written every one, the world itself. I think, would not be +able to contain the books that should be written. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 50 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8350.txt or 8350.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
