F. Weymouth + + + + +Book 43 John + +001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, + and the Word was God. + +001:002 He was in the beginning with God. + +001:003 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him + nothing that exists came into being. + +001:004 In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men. + +001:005 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has + not overpowered it. + +001:006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. + +001:007 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony + concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him. + +001:008 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give + testimony concerning the Light. + +001:009 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming + into the world. + +001:010 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, + and the world did not recognize Him. + +001:011 He came to the things that were His own, and His own people + gave Him no welcome. + +001:012 But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who + trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming + children of God; + +001:013 who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through + an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a + human father, but from God. + +001:014 And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, + so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, + sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth. + +001:015 John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, + "This is He of whom I said, `He who is coming after me has + been put before me,' for He was before me." + +001:016 For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, + and grace upon grace. + +001:017 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came + through Jesus Christ. + +001:018 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in + the Father's bosom--He has made Him known. + +001:019 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him + a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask + him who he was. + +001:020 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am + not the Christ." + +001:021 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. + "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered. + +001:022 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" + they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. + What account do you give of yourself?" + +001:023 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, + `Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words + of the Prophet Isaiah." + +001:024 They were Pharisees who had been sent. + +001:025 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, + "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?" + +001:026 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst + stands One whom you do not know-- + +001:027 He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not + worthy to unfasten." + +001:028 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, + where John was baptizing. + +001:029 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, + "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin + of the world! + +001:030 This is He about whom I said, `After me is to come One who has + been put before me, because He was before me.' + +001:031 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel + is the reason why I have come baptizing in water." + +001:032 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit + coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him. + +001:033 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water + said to me, "`The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, + and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' + +001:034 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is + the Son of God." + +001:035 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples, + +001:036 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is + the Lamb of God!" + +001:037 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus. + +001:038 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, + "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--`Rabbi' + means `Teacher'--"where are you staying?" + +001:039 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He + was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. + It was then about ten o'clock in the morning. + +001:040 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard + John's exclamation and followed Jesus. + +001:041 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, + "We have found the Messiah!"--that is to say, the Anointed One. + +001:042 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, + "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas"-- + that is to say, Peter (or `Rock'). + +001:043 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go + into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him. + +001:044 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.) + +001:045 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have + found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as + the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth." + +001:046 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. + "Come and see," said Philip. + +001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here + is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!" + +001:048 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," + said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you." + +001:049 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, + you are Israel's King!" + +001:050 "Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'" + replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater + things than that." + +001:051 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you + shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, + and coming down to the Son of Man." + +002:001 Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, + and the mother of Jesus was there, + +002:002 and Jesus also was invited and His disciples. + +002:003 Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said + to Him, "They have no wine." + +002:004 "Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me + to act has not yet come." + +002:005 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you + to do, do it." + +002:006 Now there were six stone jars standing there (in accordance + with the Jewish regulations for purification), each large + enough to hold twenty gallons or more. + +002:007 Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water." + And they filled them to the brim. + +002:008 Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the President + of the feast." + +002:009 So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President + tasted the water now turned into wine, than--not knowing where it + came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water knew-- + he called to the bridegroom + +002:010 and said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine first, + and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. + But you have kept the good wine till now." + +002:011 This, the first of His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana + in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His + disciples believed in Him. + +002:012 Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, + and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a + short stay there. + +002:013 But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus + went up to Jerusalem. + +002:014 And He found in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep + and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. + +002:015 So He plaited a whip of rushes, and drove all--both sheep + and bullocks--out of the Temple. The small coin of the brokers + He upset on the ground and overturned their tables. + +002:016 And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. + Do not turn my Father's house into a market." + +002:017 This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My zeal + for Thy House will consume me." + +002:018 So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you + exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?" + +002:019 "Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I + will rebuild it." + +002:020 "It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build + this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?" + +002:021 But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body. + +002:022 When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples + recollected that He had said this; and they believed + the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them. + +002:023 Now when He was in Jerusalem, at the Festival of the Passover, + many became believers in Him through watching the miracles + He performed. + +002:024 But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, + because He knew them all, + +002:025 and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, + for He of Himself knew what was in the man. + +003:001 Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus-- + a ruler among the Jews. + +003:002 He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you + are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles + which you are doing, unless God is with him. + +003:003 "In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless + a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God." + +003:004 "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born + when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb + and be born?" + +003:005 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless + a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter + the Kingdom of God. + +003:006 Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever + has been born of the Spirit is spirit. + +003:007 Do not be astonished at my telling you, `You must all + be born anew.' + +003:008 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, + but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. + So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit." + +003:009 "How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus. + +003:010 "Are you," replied Jesus, "`the Teacher of Israel,' and yet + do you not understand these things? + +003:011 In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, + and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, + and yet you all reject our testimony. + +003:012 If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, + how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven? + +003:013 There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One + who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose + home is in Heaven. + +003:014 And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, + so must the Son of Man be lifted up, + +003:015 in order that every one who trusts in Him may have the Life + of the Ages." + +003:016 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, + that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have + the Life of Ages. + +003:017 For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, + but that the world might be saved through Him. + +003:018 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. + He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has + not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son. + +003:019 And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has + come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they + loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked. + +003:020 For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, + for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned. + +003:021 But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, + in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been + done in God. + +003:022 After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; + and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized. + +003:023 And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were + many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism. + +003:024 (For John was not yet in prison.) + +003:025 As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's + disciples with a Jew about purification, + +003:026 they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was + with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you + bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people + are resorting to him." + +003:027 "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has + been granted to him from Heaven. + +003:028 You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, `I am not + the Christ,' but `I am His appointed forerunner.' + +003:029 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's + friend who stands by his side and listens to him, + rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. + Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. + +003:030 He must grow greater, but I must grow less. + +003:031 He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin + is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, + his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven + is above all. + +003:032 What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; + but His testimony no one receives. + +003:033 Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared + that God is true. + +003:034 For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does + not give the Spirit with limitations." + +003:035 The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything + to His hands. + +003:036 He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; + he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's + anger remains upon him. + +004:001 Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees + had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more + disciples than John"-- + +004:002 though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did-- + +004:003 He left Judaea and returned to Galilee. + +004:004 His road lay through Samaria, + +004:005 and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece + of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. + +004:006 Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, + tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. + It was about six o'clock in the evening. + +004:007 Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. + Jesus asked her to give Him some water; + +004:008 for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions. + +004:009 "How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you + asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" + (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) + +004:010 "If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it + is that said to you, `Give me some water,' you would have + asked Him, and He would have given you living water." + +004:011 "Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well + is deep; so where can you get the living water from? + +004:012 Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, + and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?" + +004:013 "Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water + will be thirsty again; + +004:014 but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him + will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give + him will become a fountain within him of water springing up + for the Life of the Ages." + +004:015 "Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never + be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw + from the well." + +004:016 "Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back." + +004:017 "I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you + have no husband," said Jesus; + +004:018 "for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at + present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth + in saying that." + +004:019 "Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet. + +004:020 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say + that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem." + +004:021 "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will + worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. + +004:022 You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom + we know; for salvation comes from the Jews. + +004:023 But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true + worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; + for indeed the Father desires such worshippers. + +004:024 God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him + true spiritual worship." + +004:025 "I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--`the Christ,' + as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything." + +004:026 "I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you." + +004:027 Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him + talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is + your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?" + +004:028 The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, + and called the people. + +004:029 "Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything + I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?" + +004:030 They left the town and set out to go to Him. + +004:031 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, + "eat something." + +004:032 "I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know." + +004:033 So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," + they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?" + +004:034 "My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, + and fully to accomplish His work. + +004:035 Do you not say, `It wants four months yet to the harvest'? + But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- + they are already ripe for the sickle. + +004:036 The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation + for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers + may rejoice together. + +004:037 For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, + `The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.' + +004:038 I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your + own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting + benefit from their labours." + +004:039 Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed + in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, + "He has told me all that I have ever done." + +004:040 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on + all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. + +004:041 Then a far larger number of people believed because of + His own words, + +004:042 and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply + because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, + and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world." + +004:043 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee; + +004:044 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour + in his own country. + +004:045 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed + Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had + done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been + to the Festival. + +004:046 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made + the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer + of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum. + +004:047 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, + he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; + for he was at the point of death. + +004:048 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, + "nothing will induce you to believe." + +004:049 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies." + +004:050 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." + He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home; + +004:051 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him + and told him that his son was alive and well. + +004:052 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. + "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, + "the fever left him." + +004:053 Then the father recollected that that was the time at + which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," + and he and his whole household became believers. + +004:054 This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming + from Judaea into Galilee. + +005:001 After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went + up to Jerusalem. + +005:002 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, + called in Hebrew `Bethesda.' It has five arcades. + +005:003 In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, + and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed. + +005:004 [] + +005:005 And there was one man there who had been an invalid + for thirty-eight years. + +005:006 Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long + time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have + health and strength?" + +005:007 "Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into + the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming + some one else steps down before me." + +005:008 "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk." + +005:009 Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took + up his mat and began to walk. + +005:010 That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had + been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat." + +005:011 "He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, `Take up your + mat and walk.'" + +005:012 "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, `Take up your + mat and walk'?" + +005:013 But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; + for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd + in the place. + +005:014 Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, + "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, + or a worse thing may befall you." + +005:015 The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored + him to health; + +005:016 and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus-- + because He did these things on the Sabbath. + +005:017 His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, + and so do I." + +005:018 On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put + Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, + but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, + thus putting Himself on a level with God. + +005:019 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son + can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees + the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does + in like manner. + +005:020 For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself + is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, + in order that you may wonder. + +005:021 For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, + so the Son also gives life to whom He wills. + +005:022 The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted + all judgement to the Son, + +005:023 that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. + The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour + from the Father who sent Him. + +005:024 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my + teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, + and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out + of death into Life. + +005:025 "In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming-- + nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice + of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live. + +005:026 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given + to the Son to have life in Himself. + +005:027 And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, + because He is the Son of Man. + +005:028 Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are + in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth-- + +005:029 they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, + and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection + of judgement. + +005:030 "I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; + and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will + that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me. + +005:031 "If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony + cannot be accepted. + +005:032 There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know + that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me. + +005:033 "You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness + to the truth. + +005:034 But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; + though I say all this in order that you may be saved. + +005:035 He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you + were willing to be gladdened by his light. + +005:036 "But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; + for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to + bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing-- + affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me. + +005:037 And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me. + None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what + He is like. + +005:038 Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse + to believe Him whom *He* has sent. + +005:039 "You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them + you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures + that yield testimony concerning me; + +005:040 and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life. + +005:041 "I do not accept glory from man, + +005:042 but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do + not really love God. + +005:043 I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not + receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, + him you will receive. + +005:044 How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory + from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes + from the only God? + +005:045 "Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. + There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom + your hope rests. + +005:046 For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; + for he wrote about me. + +005:047 But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?" + +006:001 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, + the Lake of Tiberias). + +006:002 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles + on the sick which He was constantly performing. + +006:003 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples. + +006:004 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand. + +006:005 And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming + towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread + for all these people to eat?" + +006:006 He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew + what He was going to do. + +006:007 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough + for them all to get even a scanty meal." + +006:008 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, + said to Him, + +006:009 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: + but what is that among so many?" + +006:010 "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was + covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men + numbering about 5,000. + +006:011 Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He + distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; + and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired. + +006:012 When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, + "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that + nothing be lost." + +006:013 Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments + of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained + over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets. + +006:014 Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, + said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world." + +006:015 Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry + Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up + the hill alone by Himself. + +006:016 When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake. + +006:017 There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross + the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, + and Jesus had not yet joined them. + +006:018 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. + +006:019 When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw + Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat. + +006:020 They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, + "do not be afraid." + +006:021 Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment + the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going. + +006:022 Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on + the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one + small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go + on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went + away without Him. + +006:023 Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood + of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord + had given thanks. + +006:024 When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples + were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum + to look for Jesus. + +006:025 So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, + they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" + +006:026 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you + are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, + but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal. + +006:027 Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, + but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages-- + that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; + for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." + +006:028 "What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things + that God requires?" + +006:029 "This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires-- + that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent." + +006:030 "What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see + and become believers in you? What do you *do*? + +006:031 Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, + `He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'." + +006:032 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses + did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father + is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven. + +006:033 For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives + Life to the world." + +006:034 "Sir," they said, "always give us that bread." + +006:035 "I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall + never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst. + +006:036 But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet + you do not believe. + +006:037 Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him + who comes to me I will never on any account drive away. + +006:038 For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek + my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me. + +006:039 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He + has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it + to life on the last day. + +006:040 For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze + on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life + of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day." + +006:041 Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His + claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven. + +006:042 They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? + Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does + he mean by now saying, `I have come down out of Heaven'?" + +006:043 "Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus; + +006:044 "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; + then I will raise him to life on the last day. + +006:045 It stands written in the Prophets, `And they shall all of them + be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father + and learns from Him comes to me. + +006:046 No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. + He has seen the Father. + +006:047 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has + the Life of the Ages. + +006:048 I am the bread of Life. + +006:049 Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died. + +006:050 Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man + may eat it and not die. + +006:051 I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. + If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. + Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given + for the life of the world." + +006:052 This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," + they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?" + +006:053 "In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless + you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, + you have no Life in you. + +006:054 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, + and I will raise him up on the last day. + +006:055 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. + +006:056 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, + and I remain in union with him. + +006:057 As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of + the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me. + +006:058 This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike + that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. + He who eats this bread shall live for ever." + +006:059 Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum. + +006:060 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, + "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?" + +006:061 But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied + about it, Jesus asked them, + +006:062 "Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see + the Son of Man ascending again where He was before? + +006:063 It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no + benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit + and are Life. + +006:064 But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus + knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, + and who it was that would betray Him. + +006:065 So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come + to me unless it be granted him by the Father." + +006:066 Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, + and no longer associated with Him. + +006:067 Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" + He asked. + +006:068 "Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? + Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. + +006:069 And we have come to believe and know that *you* are indeed + the Holy One of God." + +006:070 "Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you + one is a devil." + +006:071 He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. + For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards + to betray Him. + +007:001 After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. + He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking + an opportunity to kill Him. + +007:002 But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching. + +007:003 So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, + that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles + which you perform. + +007:004 For no one acts in secret, desiring all the while to be + himself known publicly. Since you are doing these things, + show yourself openly to the world." + +007:005 For even His brothers were not believers in Him. + +007:006 "My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any + time is suitable. + +007:007 It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, + because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil. + +007:008 As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up + to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come." + +007:009 Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee. + +007:010 When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, + then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately. + +007:011 Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him + and were inquiring, "Where is he?" + +007:012 Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate + about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: + he is imposing on the people." + +007:013 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him. + +007:014 But when the Festival was already half over, Jesus went up + to the Temple and commenced teaching. + +007:015 The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything + of books," they said, "although he has never been at any + of the schools?" + +007:016 Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does + not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me. + +007:017 If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about + the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me. + +007:018 The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. + He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, + and there is no deception in him. + +007:019 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you + obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?" + +007:020 "You are possessed by a demon," replied the crowd; "no one wants + to kill you." + +007:021 "One deed I have done," replied Jesus, "and you are all + full of wonder. + +007:022 Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision + (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), + and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child. + +007:023 If a child is circumcised even on a Sabbath day, are you bitter + against me because I have restored a man to perfect health + on a Sabbath day? + +007:024 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements + that are just." + +007:025 Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this + the man they are wanting to kill? + +007:026 But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing + to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this + man is the Christ? + +007:027 And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; + but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where + He is from." + +007:028 Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, + and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. + And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has + sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge. + +007:029 I know Him, because I came from Him, and He sent me." + +007:030 On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand + was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come. + +007:031 But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. + "When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more + miracles than this teacher has performed?" + +007:032 The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various + doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent + some officers to apprehend Him. + +007:033 So Jesus said, "Still for a short time I am with you, + and then I go my way to Him who sent me. + +007:034 You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am + you cannot come." + +007:035 The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about + to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? + Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, + and teach the Gentiles? + +007:036 What do those words of his mean, `You will look for me, + but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?" + +007:037 On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood + up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him + come to me and drink. + +007:038 He who believes in me, from within him--as the Scripture has said-- + rivers of living water shall flow." + +007:039 He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him + were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, + because Jesus had not yet been glorified. + +007:040 After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began + to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet." + +007:041 Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so, + for is the Christ to come from Galilee? + +007:042 Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come + of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?" + +007:043 So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account. + +007:044 Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid + hands upon Him. + +007:045 Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, + who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?" + +007:046 "No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks," + said the officers. + +007:047 "Are *you* deluded too?" replied the Pharisees; + +007:048 "has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? + +007:049 But this rabble who understand nothing about the Law are accursed!" + +007:050 Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, + being himself one of them. + +007:051 "Does our Law," he asked, "judge a man without first hearing + what he has to say and ascertaining what his conduct is?" + +007:052 "Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. + "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is + of Galilaean origin." + +007:053 [So they went away to their several homes; + +008:001 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. + +008:002 At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there + the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself; + +008:003 and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought + to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. + They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put + the case to Him. + +008:004 "Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act + of committing adultery. + +008:005 Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. + But what do you say?" + +008:006 They asked this in order to put Him to the test, + so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. + But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger + on the ground. + +008:007 When however they persisted with their question, He raised + His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you + be the first to throw a stone at her." + +008:008 Then He leant forward again, and again began to write + on the ground. + +008:009 They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, + took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. + And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre + of the court. + +008:010 Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? + Has no one condemned you?" + +008:011 "No one, Sir," she replied. "And *I* do not condemn you either," + said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."] + +008:012 Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," + He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk + in the dark, but shall have the light of Life." + +008:013 "You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; + "your testimony is not true." + +008:014 "Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, + "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I + am going, but you know neither of these two things. + +008:015 You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one. + +008:016 And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, + but the Father who sent me is with me. + +008:017 In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two + men is true. + +008:018 I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent + me gives testimony about me." + +008:019 "Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father + as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, + you would know my Father also." + +008:020 These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching + in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time + had not yet come. + +008:021 Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try + to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, + it is impossible for you to come." + +008:022 The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, + do you think, that he says, `Where I am going, it is impossible + for you to come'?" + +008:023 "You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: + you are of this present world, I am not of this present world. + +008:024 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; + for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen." + +008:025 "You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking + to you at all?" replied Jesus. + +008:026 "Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. + But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard + from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak." + +008:027 They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father. + +008:028 So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, + then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; + but as the Father has taught me, so I speak. + +008:029 And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: + for I do always what is pleasing to Him." + +008:030 As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him. + +008:031 Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed + in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, + then you are truly my disciples; + +008:032 and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free." + +008:033 "We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, + "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. + What do those words of yours mean, `You shall become free'?" + +008:034 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every + one who commits sin is the slave of sin. + +008:035 Now a slave does not remain permanently in his master's house, + but a son does. + +008:036 If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed. + +008:037 You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, + because my teaching gains no ground within you. + +008:038 The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence + of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have + heard from your father." + +008:039 "Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," + replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing. + +008:040 But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has + spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. + Abraham did not do that. + +008:041 You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, + "are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God." + +008:042 "If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; + for it is from God that I came and I am now here. + I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me. + +008:043 How is it you do not understand me when I speak? + It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words. + +008:044 The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do + what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, + and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. + Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; + for he is a liar, and the father of lies. + +008:045 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. + +008:046 Which of *you* convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, + why do you not believe me? + +008:047 He who is a child of God listens to God's words. + You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are + not God's children." + +008:048 "Are we not right," answered the Jews, "in saying that you + are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?" + +008:049 "I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. + "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me. + +008:050 I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One + who aims at glory for me--and who judges. + +008:051 In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have + obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." + +008:052 "Now," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed + by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, + and yet *you* say, `If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, + he shall in no case ever taste death.' + +008:053 Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. + And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" + +008:054 "Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no + real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, + who you say is your God. + +008:055 You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny + my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. + On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands. + +008:056 Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: + and he saw it, and was glad." + +008:057 "You are not yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have + you seen Abraham?" + +008:058 "In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before + Abraham came into existence, I am." + +008:059 Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, + but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple. + +009:001 As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth. + +009:002 So His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned--this man + or his parents--that he was born blind?" + +009:003 "Neither he nor his parents sinned," answered Jesus, + "but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be + openly shown in him. + +009:004 We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. + Night is coming on, when no one can work. + +009:005 When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." + +009:006 After thus speaking, He spat on the ground, and then, + kneading the dust and spittle into clay, He smeared the clay + over the man's eyes and said to him, + +009:007 "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam"--the name means `Sent.' + So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see. + +009:008 His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had + been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, + "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" + +009:009 "Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," + said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, + "I am the man." + +009:010 "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked. + +009:011 "He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared + my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. + So I went and washed and obtained sight." + +009:012 "Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know. + +009:013 They brought him to the Pharisees--the man who had been blind. + +009:014 Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's + eyes was the Sabbath. + +009:015 So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had + obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, + "and I washed, and now I can see." + +009:016 This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come + from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it + possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others. + +009:017 And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once + blind man, "What is your account of him?--for he opened your eyes." + "He is a Prophet," he replied. + +009:018 The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him-- + that he had been blind and had obtained his sight--until they + called his parents and asked them, + +009:019 "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then + that he can now see?" + +009:020 "We know," replied the parents, "that this is our son and that + he was born blind; + +009:021 but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his + eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; + he himself will give his own account of it." + +009:022 Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; + for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any + one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be + excluded from the synagogue. + +009:023 That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: + ask him himself." + +009:024 A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, + and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man + is a sinner." + +009:025 "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; + "one thing I know--that I was once blind and that now I can see." + +009:026 "What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?" + +009:027 "I have told you already," he replied, "and you did + not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? + Do you also mean to be disciples of his?" + +009:028 Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, + but we are disciples of Moses. + +009:029 We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we + do not know where he comes from." + +009:030 "Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know + where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes! + +009:031 We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any + one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens. + +009:032 From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard + of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind + from his birth. + +009:033 Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing." + +009:034 "You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, + and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue. + +009:035 Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, + He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" + +009:036 "Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may + believe in Him." + +009:037 "You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: + He is now speaking to you." + +009:038 "I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet. + +009:039 "I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, + that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see + may become blind." + +009:040 These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, + and they asked Him, "Are *we* also blind?" + +009:041 "If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; + but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. + So your sin remains!" + +010:001 "In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter + the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, + is a thief and a robber. + +010:002 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. + +010:003 To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; + and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out. + +010:004 When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them-- + he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, + because they know his voice. + +010:005 But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away + from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers." + +010:006 Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did + not understand what He meant. + +010:007 Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I + tell you that I am the Door of the sheep. + +010:008 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; + but the sheep would not listen to them. + +010:009 I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, + and will go in and out and find pasture. + +010:010 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: + I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance. + +010:011 "I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life + for the sheep. + +010:012 The hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own + the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves + the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them. + +010:013 For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep. + +010:014 "I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me, + +010:015 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am + laying down my life for the sheep. + +010:016 I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. + Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; + and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd. + +010:017 For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down + my life in order to receive it back again. + +010:018 No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. + I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive + it back again. This is the command I received from my Father." + +010:019 Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words. + +010:020 Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. + Why do you listen to him?" + +010:021 Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: + and can a demon open blind men's eyes?" + +010:022 The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter, + +010:023 and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico, + +010:024 when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long + do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, + tell us so plainly." + +010:025 "I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. + The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give + testimony about me. + +010:026 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep. + +010:027 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. + +010:028 I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, + never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand. + +010:029 What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; + and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand. + +010:030 I and the Father are one." + +010:031 Again the Jews brought stones with which to stone Him. + +010:032 Jesus remonstrated with them. "Many good deeds," He said, + "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them + are you going to stone me?" + +010:033 "For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, + but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, + are making yourself out to be God." + +010:034 "Does it not stand written in your Law," replied Jesus, "`I said, + you are gods'? + +010:035 If those to whom God's word was addressed are called gods + (and the Scripture cannot be annulled), + +010:036 how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated + and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, + `I am God's Son'? + +010:037 If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me. + +010:038 But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, + at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly + that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father." + +010:039 This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew + out of their power. + +010:040 Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, + to the place where John had been baptizing at first; + and there He stayed. + +010:041 Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, + "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about + this Teacher was true." + +010:042 And many became believers in Him there. + +011:001 Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- + Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha. + +011:002 (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped + His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.) + +011:003 So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold + dear is ill." + +011:004 Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not + to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, + in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it." + +011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. + +011:006 When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained + two days in that same place. + +011:007 Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us + return to Judaea." + +011:008 "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying + to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?" + +011:009 "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. + "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble-- + because he sees the light of this world. + +011:010 But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light + is not in him." + +011:011 He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus + is sleeping, but I will go and wake him." + +011:012 "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover." + +011:013 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred + to the rest taken in ordinary sleep. + +011:014 So then He told them plainly, + +011:015 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, + in order that you may believe. But let us go to him." + +011:016 "Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, + "that we may die with him." + +011:017 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been + three days in the tomb. + +011:018 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less + than two miles; + +011:019 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, + having come to express sympathy with them on the death + of their brother. + +011:020 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," + went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house. + +011:021 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," + she said, "my brother would not have died. + +011:022 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, + God will give you." + +011:023 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus. + +011:024 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, + on the last day." + +011:025 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes + in me, even if he has died, he shall live; + +011:026 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, + never die. Do you believe this?" + +011:027 "Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are + the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." + +011:028 After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, + telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you." + +011:029 So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him. + +011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still + at the place where Martha had met Him. + +011:031 So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, + when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, + followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb + to weep aloud there. + +011:032 Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His + feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother + would not have died." + +011:033 Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping + who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion + of His spirit, + +011:034 though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" + "Master, come and see," was their reply. + +011:035 Jesus wept. + +011:036 "See how dear he held him," said the Jews. + +011:037 But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind + man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?" + +011:038 Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, + came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid + against the mouth of it. + +011:039 "Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the + dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; + for it is three days since he died." + +011:040 "Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, + you shall see the glory of God?" + +011:041 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes + and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me. + +011:042 I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd + standing round I have said this--that they may believe + that Thou didst send me." + +011:043 After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, + "Lazarus, come out." + +011:044 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, + and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," + said Jesus, "and let him go free." + +011:045 Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those + who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds-- + became believers in Him; + +011:046 though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them + what He had done. + +011:047 Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of + the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; + "for this man is performing a great number of miracles. + +011:048 If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe + in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city + and our nation." + +011:049 But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, + said, "You know nothing about it. + +011:050 You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man + should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish." + +011:051 It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being + High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus + was to die for the nation, + +011:052 and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one + body all the far-scattered children of God. + +011:053 So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order + to put Him to death. + +011:054 Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, + but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district + near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there + with the disciples. + +011:055 The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district + went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. + +011:056 They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another + as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think?--will he come + to the Festival at all?" + +011:057 Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders + that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, + so that they might arrest Him. + +012:001 Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, + where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead. + +012:002 So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which + Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests + who were with Him. + +012:003 Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight + of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, + and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled + with the fragrance of the perfume. + +012:004 Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one + who afterwards betrayed Jesus), + +012:005 "Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money + given to the poor?" + +012:006 The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, + but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, + he used to steal what was put into it. + +012:007 But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her + to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial. + +012:008 For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always." + +012:009 Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; + but they came not only on His account, but also in order + to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life. + +012:010 The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus + also to death, + +012:011 for because of him many of the Jews left them and became + believers in Jesus. + +012:012 The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, + hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, + +012:013 took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, + shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who + comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!" + +012:014 And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, + just as the Scripture says, + +012:015 "Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding + on an ass's colt." + +012:016 The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; + but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this + was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him. + +012:017 The large number of people, however, who had been present when He + called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, + related what they had witnessed. + +012:018 This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they + had heard of His having performed that miracle. + +012:019 The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, + "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is + gone after him!" + +012:020 Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the + Festival were Greeks. + +012:021 They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, + "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." + +012:022 Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus. + +012:023 His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man + to be glorified. + +012:024 In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat + falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was-- + a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. + +012:025 He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes + his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life + of the Ages. + +012:026 If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; + and where I am, there too shall my servant be. + If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him. + +012:027 Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? + Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I + have come to this hour. + +012:028 Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from + the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again." + +012:029 The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had + been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him." + +012:030 "It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, + but for your sakes. + +012:031 Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this + world be driven out. + +012:032 And I--if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me." + +012:033 He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die. + +012:034 The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that + the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that + the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" + +012:035 "Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. + Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness + should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does + not know where he is going. + +012:036 In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, + so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, + and went away and hid Himself from them. + +012:037 But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, + they did not believe in Him-- + +012:038 in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might + be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? + And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?" + +012:039 For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah + said again, + +012:040 "He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, + lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, + and should turn, and I should heal them." + +012:041 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; + and he spoke of Him. + +012:042 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. + But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, + for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue. + +012:043 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than + the glory that comes from God. + +012:044 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not + so much in me, as in Him who sent me; + +012:045 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me. + +012:046 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one + who believes in me may remain in the dark. + +012:047 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, + I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, + but to save the world. + +012:048 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings + is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken + will judge him on the last day. + +012:049 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father + who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in + what words to speak. + +012:050 And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. + What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me." + +013:001 Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. + Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world + and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were + in the world, He loved them to the end. + +013:002 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time + suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought + of betraying Him, Jesus, + +013:003 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, + and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God, + +013:004 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took + a towel and tied it round Him. + +013:005 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash + the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel + which He had put round Him. + +013:006 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, + "are *you* going to wash my feet?" + +013:007 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do + not know, but afterwards you shall know." + +013:008 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you + wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, + "you have no share with me." + +013:009 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands + and my head." + +013:010 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not + need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. + And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true + of all of you." + +013:011 For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, + "You are not all of you clean." + +013:012 So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again, + and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand + what I have done to you? + +013:013 You call me `The Rabbi' and `The Master,' and rightly so, + for such I am. + +013:014 If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet, + it is also your duty to wash one another's feet. + +013:015 For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I + have done to you. + +013:016 In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior + to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him. + +013:017 If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly. + +013:018 I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, + but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may + be fulfilled, which says, `He who eats my bread has lifted + up his heel against me.' + +013:019 From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, + in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He. + +013:020 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever + I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him + who sent me." + +013:021 After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said + with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you + that one of you will betray me." + +013:022 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know + to which of them He was referring. + +013:023 There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- + reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom. + +013:024 Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us + to whom he is referring." + +013:025 So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, + "Master, who is it?" + +013:026 "It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this + piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He + dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, + the son of the Iscariot Simon. + +013:027 Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered + into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him. + +013:028 But why He said this no one else at the table understood. + +013:029 Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box + Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," + or that he should give something to the poor. + +013:030 So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. + And it was night. + +013:031 So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of + Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. + +013:032 Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify + Him without delay. + +013:033 Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. + You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, `Where I am + going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you. + +013:034 A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I + have loved you, you also may love one another. + +013:035 It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples-- + if you love one another." + +013:036 "Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" + "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, + but you shall be later." + +013:037 "Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? + I will lay down my life on your behalf. + +013:038 "You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; + "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow + before you have three times disowned me." + +014:001 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: + trust in me also. + +014:002 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were + it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make + ready a place for you. + +014:003 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return + and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be. + +014:004 And where I am going, you all know the way." + +014:005 "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. + In what sense do we know the way?" + +014:006 "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. + No one comes to the Father except through me. + +014:007 If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. + From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him." + +014:008 "Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: + that is all we need." + +014:009 "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, + Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. + How can *you* ask me, `Cause us to see the Father'? + +014:010 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father + is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on + my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries + on His own work. + +014:011 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father + is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do. + +014:012 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me-- + the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things + than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father. + +014:013 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order + that the Father may be glorified in the Son. + +014:014 If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it. + +014:015 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. + +014:016 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate + to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth. + +014:017 That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see + Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your + side and is in you. + +014:018 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you. + +014:019 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you + will see me: because I live, you also shall live. + +014:020 At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you + are in me, and that I am in you. + +014:021 He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. + And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will + love him and will clearly reveal myself to him." + +014:022 Judas (not the Iscariot) asked, "Master, how is it that you + will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to the world?" + +014:023 "If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; + and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make + our home with him. + +014:024 He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching; + and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, + but is the teaching of the Father who sent me. + +014:025 "All this I have spoken to you while still with you. + +014:026 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send + at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring + to your memories all that I have said to you. + +014:027 Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. + It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. + Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed. + +014:028 "You heard me say to you, `I am going away, and yet I am coming + to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I + am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am. + +014:029 I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has + come to pass you may believe. + +014:030 In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince + of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing; + +014:031 but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, + and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father + gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going." + +015:001 "I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. + +015:002 Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away; + and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may + bear more fruit. + +015:003 Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I + have given you. + +015:004 Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch + cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue + in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me. + +015:005 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who continues in me + and in whom I continue bears abundant fruit, for apart from me + you can do nothing. + +015:006 If any one does not continue in me, he is like the unfruitful + branch which is at once thrown away and then withers up. + Such branches they gather up and throw into the fire and + they are burned. + +015:007 "If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, + ask what you will and it shall be done for you. + +015:008 By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit + and thus being true disciples of mine. + +015:009 As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you: + continue in my love. + +015:010 If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I + have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love. + +015:011 "These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy + in you, and that your joy may become perfect. + +015:012 This is my commandment to you, to love one another as I + have loved you. + +015:013 No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life + for his friends. + +015:014 You are my friends, if you do what I command you. + +015:015 No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not + know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, + because all that I have heard from the Father I have made + known to you. + +015:016 It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and + appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your + fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present + to the Father in my name He may give you. + +015:017 "Thus I command you to love one another. + +015:018 If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me + as the fixed object of its hatred. + +015:019 If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. + But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen + you out of the world--for that reason the world hates you. + +015:020 Bear in mind what I said to you, `A servant is not superior + to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will + also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, + they will obey yours also. + +015:021 But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account + of your bearing my name--because they do not know Him + who sent me. + +015:022 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; + but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin. + +015:023 He who hates me hates my Father also. + +015:024 If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no + one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they + have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father. + +015:025 But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled + which stands written in their Law, `They have hated me + without any reason.' + +015:026 "When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from + the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth + from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me. + +015:027 And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me + from the first. + +016:001 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear + stumbling-blocks out of your path. + +016:002 You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time + is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose + he is offering service to God. + +016:003 And they will do these things because they have failed + to recognize the Father and to discover who I am. + +016:004 But I have spoken these things to you in order that when + the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, + and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you + all this at first, because I was still with you. + +016:005 But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you + asks me where I am going. + +016:006 But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all + this to you. + +016:007 "Yet it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your + advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate + will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. + +016:008 And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, + of righteousness, and of judgement;-- + +016:009 of sin, because they do not believe in me; + +016:010 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you + will no longer see me; + +016:011 of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence. + +016:012 "I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present + to bear the burden of it. + +016:013 But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide + you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself + originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, + and He will make known the future to you. + +016:014 He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine + and will make it known to you. + +016:015 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said + that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make + it known to you. + +016:016 "A little while and you see me no more, and again a little + while and you shall see me." + +016:017 Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What does + this mean which He is telling us, `A little while and you + do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' + and `Because I am going to the Father'?" + +016:018 So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that `little while' + mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words." + +016:019 Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, + "Is this what you are questioning one another about-- + my saying, `A little while and you do not see me, and again + a little while and you shall see me'? + +016:020 In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud + and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, + but your grief will be turned into gladness. + +016:021 A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her + time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, + she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child + being born into the world. + +016:022 So you also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, + and your hearts will be glad, and your gladness no one will + take away from you. + +016:023 You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth + I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name + He will give you. + +016:024 As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you + shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness. + +016:025 "All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. + The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you + in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father + in plain words. + +016:026 At that time you will make your requests in my name; + and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf, + +016:027 for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me + dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence. + +016:028 I came from the Father and have come into the world. + Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father." + +016:029 "Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, + "and are uttering no figure of speech! + +016:030 Now we know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be + pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you + came from God." + +016:031 "Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus. + +016:032 "Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you + all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. + And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. + +016:033 "I have spoken all this to you in order that in me you + may have peace. In the world you have affliction. + But keep up your courage: *I* have won the victory + over the world." + +017:001 When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven + and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son + that the Son may glorify Thee; + +017:002 even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, + so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life + of the Ages. + +017:003 And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee + the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. + +017:004 I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work + which by Thine appointment has been mine to do. + +017:005 And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, + with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed. + +017:006 "I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me + out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, + and they have obeyed Thy message. + +017:007 Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee. + +017:008 For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. + And they have received them, and have known for certain that I + came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou + didst send me. + +017:009 "I am making request for them: for the world I do not make + any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. + Because they are Thine, + +017:010 and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is + Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them. + +017:011 I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I + am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name-- + the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, + even as we are. + +017:012 While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name + Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not + one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction-- + that the Scripture may be fulfilled. + +017:013 "But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I + am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness + within them filling their hearts. + +017:014 I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, + because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not + belong to the world. + +017:015 I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, + but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one. + +017:016 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong + to the world. + +017:017 Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth. + +017:018 Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them; + +017:019 and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they + may become perfectly consecrated in truth. + +017:020 "Nor is it for them alone that I make request. + It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching; + +017:021 that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, + and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world + may believe that Thou didst send me. + +017:022 And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, + that they may be one, just as we are one: + +017:023 I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; + that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me + and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou + hast loved me. + +017:024 "Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I + am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory-- + my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because + Thou didst love me before the creation of the world. + +017:025 And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to + recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived + that Thou didst send me. + +017:026 And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, + that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, + and that I may be in them." + +018:001 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His + disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine + of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered-- + Himself and His disciples. + +018:002 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, + knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there + with His disciples. + +018:003 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment + of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, + came there with torches and lamps and weapons. + +018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, + went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" + He asked them. + +018:005 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. + (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.) + +018:006 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards + and fell to the ground. + +018:007 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" + "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said. + +018:008 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. + If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples + go their way." + +018:009 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken + might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, + I have not lost one." + +018:010 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at + the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. + The servant's name was Malchus. + +018:011 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. + Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father + has given me to drink?" + +018:012 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, + and took Jesus and bound Him. + +018:013 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law + of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year. + +018:014 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is + to your interest that one man should die for the People.") + +018:015 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was + another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, + and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace. + +018:016 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple + who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced + the portress to let Peter in. + +018:017 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also + one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied. + +018:018 Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted + a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; + and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself. + +018:019 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples + and His teaching. + +018:020 "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. + I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple + where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said + nothing in secret. + +018:021 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I + said to them: these witnesses here know what I said." + +018:022 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him + with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way + you answer the High Priest?" + +018:023 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it + as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?" + +018:024 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest. + +018:025 But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this + led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" + He denied it, and said, "No, I am not." + +018:026 One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man + whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you + in the garden with him?" + +018:027 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed. + +018:028 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. + It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium + themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they + might be able to eat the Passover. + +018:029 Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation + have you to bring against this man?" + +018:030 "If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would + not have handed him over to you." + +018:031 "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." + "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death." + +018:032 They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus + predicted the kind of death He was to die. + +018:033 Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus + and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" + +018:034 "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you + about me?" replied Jesus. + +018:035 "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation + and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. + What have you done?" + +018:036 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. + If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have + resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. + But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin." + +018:037 "So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, + "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I + was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world-- + to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend + of the truth listens to my voice." + +018:038 "What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken + the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, + "I find no crime in him. + +018:039 But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner + to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King + of the Jews?" + +018:040 With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, + but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber. + +019:001 Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. + +019:002 And the soldiers, twisting twigs of thorn into a wreath, + put it on His head, and threw round Him a crimson cloak. + +019:003 Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, + "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms + of their hands. + +019:004 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am + bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I + find no crime in him." + +019:005 So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the + crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man." + +019:006 As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, + they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him + yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, + find no crime in him." + +019:007 "We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that + Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God." + +019:008 More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words + than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus. + +019:009 "What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer. + +019:010 "Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you + not know that I have it in my power either to release you + or to crucify you?" + +019:011 "You would have had no power whatever over me," + replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. + On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more + guilty than you are." + +019:012 Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. + But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, + you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up + as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar." + +019:013 On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down + on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement-- + or in Hebrew, Gabbatha. + +019:014 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock + in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!" + +019:015 This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! + Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. + "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests. + +019:016 Then Pilate gave Him up to them to be crucified. + Accordingly they took Jesus; + +019:017 and He went out carrying His own cross, to the place + called Skull-place--or, in Hebrew, Golgotha-- + +019:018 where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, + one on each side and Jesus in the middle. + +019:019 And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of + the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. + +019:020 Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus + was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in + three languages--Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. + +019:021 This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. + "You should not write `The King of the Jews,'" they said, + "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews." + +019:022 "What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer. + +019:023 So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His + garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts-- + one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, + woven from the top in one piece. + +019:024 So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. + Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture + might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments + among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just + what the soldiers did. + +019:025 Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His + mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. + +019:026 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He + loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!" + +019:027 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" + And from that time the disciple received her into his own home. + +019:028 After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought + to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, + "I am thirsty." + +019:029 There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they + filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, + and lifted it to His mouth. + +019:030 As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." + And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit. + +019:031 Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation + for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain + on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one + of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs + of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed. + +019:032 Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first + man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus. + +019:033 Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He + was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs. + +019:034 One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side + with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out. + +019:035 This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. + He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you + also may believe. + +019:036 For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled + which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken." + +019:037 And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom + they have pierced." + +019:038 After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, + but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission + to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. + So he came and removed the body. + +019:039 Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night-- + came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about + seventy or eighty pounds. + +019:040 Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along + with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of + preparing for burial. + +019:041 There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, + and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. + +019:042 Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for + the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, + they put Jesus there. + +020:001 On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, + Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had + been removed from it. + +020:002 So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter + and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus-- + and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, + and we do not know where they have put Him." + +020:003 Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, + both of them running, + +020:004 but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it + before he did. + +020:005 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there + on the ground, but he did not go in. + +020:006 Simon Peter, however, also came, following him, and entered the tomb. + There on the ground he saw the cloths; + +020:007 and the towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, + not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself. + +020:008 Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, + also went in and saw and was convinced. + +020:009 For until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, + that He must rise again from among the dead. + +020:010 Then they went away and returned home. + +020:011 Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. + She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped + and looked in, + +020:012 and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at + the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. + +020:013 They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. + "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, + and I do not know where they have put him." + +020:014 While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus + standing there, but did not recognize Him. + +020:015 "Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" + She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you + have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I + will remove him." + +020:016 "Mary!" said Jesus. She turned to Him. "Rabboni!" she cried + in Hebrew: the word means `Teacher!' + +020:017 "Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended + to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: + `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God + and your God.'" + +020:018 Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. + "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He + had said these things to her. + +020:019 On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, + for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the + disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, + and said to them, "Peace be to you!" + +020:020 Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; + and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master. + +020:021 A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! + As the Father sent me, I also now send you." + +020:022 Having said this He breathed upon them and said, + "Receive the Holy Spirit. + +020:023 If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. + If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound." + +020:024 Thomas, one of the twelve--surnamed `the Twin'--was not among + them when Jesus came. + +020:025 So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen + the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands + the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, + and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it." + +020:026 A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas + was with them, when Jesus came--though the doors were locked-- + and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace be to you." + +020:027 Then He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here and feel my hands; + bring you hand and put it into my side; and do not be ready + to disbelieve but to believe." + +020:028 "My Lord and my God!" replied Thomas. + +020:029 "Because you have seen me," replied Jesus, "you have believed. + Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." + +020:030 There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus + performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not + recorded in this book. + +020:031 But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He + is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, + you may have Life through His name. + +021:001 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. + It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows. + +021:002 Simon Peter was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of + Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of + the Master's disciples. + +021:003 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." "We will go too," + said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; + but they caught nothing that night. + +021:004 When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, + though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. + +021:005 He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any + food there?" "No," they answered. + +021:006 "Throw the net in on the right hand side," He said, "and you + will find fish." So they threw the net in, and now they + could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish. + +021:007 This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is + the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, + "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt-- + for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang + into the water. + +021:008 But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they + were not far from land--only about a hundred yards off), + dragging the net full of fish. + +021:009 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, + with fish broiling on it, and bread close by. + +021:010 Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they + had just caught. + +021:011 So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore + full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there + were so many, the net had not broken. + +021:012 "Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one + of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, + for they felt sure that it was the Master. + +021:013 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, + and the fish in the same way. + +021:014 This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself + to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead. + +021:015 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, + son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" + "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." + "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus. + +021:016 Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, + do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you + are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said. + +021:017 A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, + am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him + the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, + "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." + "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus. + +021:018 "In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, + you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, + when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms + and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you + where you have no wish to go." + +021:019 This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple + would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said + to him, "Follow me." + +021:020 Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus + loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned + back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that + is betraying you?" + +021:021 On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?" + +021:022 "If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, + "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me." + +021:023 Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple + would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," + but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern + is that of yours?" + +021:024 That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, + and has written this history; and we know that his + testimony is true. + +021:025 But there are also many other things which Jesus did--so vast + a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, + I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books + that would have to be written. + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Weymouth New Testament in Modern +Speech, John, by R.

He was full of grace and truth. +001:015 John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, + "This is He of whom I said, `He who is coming after me has + been put before me,' for He was before me." +001:016 For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, + and grace upon grace. +001:017 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came + through Jesus Christ. +001:018 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in + the Father's bosom--He has made Him known. +001:019 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him + a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask + him who he was. +001:020 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am + not the Christ." +001:021 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. + "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered. +001:022 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" + they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. + What account do you give of yourself?" +001:023 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, + `Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words + of the Prophet Isaiah." +001:024 They were Pharisees who had been sent. +001:025 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, + "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?" +001:026 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst + stands One whom you do not know-- +001:027 He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not + worthy to unfasten." +001:028 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, + where John was baptizing. +001:029 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, + "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin + of the world! +001:030 This is He about whom I said, `After me is to come One who has + been put before me, because He was before me.' +001:031 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel + is the reason why I have come baptizing in water." +001:032 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit + coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him. +001:033 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water + said to me, "`The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, + and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' +001:034 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is + the Son of God." +001:035 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples, +001:036 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is + the Lamb of God!" +001:037 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus. +001:038 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, + "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--`Rabbi' + means `Teacher'--"where are you staying?" +001:039 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He + was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. + It was then about ten o'clock in the morning. +001:040 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard + John's exclamation and followed Jesus. +001:041 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, + "We have found the Messiah!"--that is to say, the Anointed One. +001:042 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, + "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas"-- + that is to say, Peter (or `Rock'). +001:043 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go + into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him. +001:044 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.) +001:045 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have + found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as + the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth." +001:046 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. + "Come and see," said Philip. +001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here + is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!" +001:048 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," + said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you." +001:049 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, + you are Israel's King!" +001:050 "Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'" + replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater + things than that." +001:051 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you + shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, + and coming down to the Son of Man." +002:001 Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, + and the mother of Jesus was there, +002:002 and Jesus also was invited and His disciples. +002:003 Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said + to Him, "They have no wine." +002:004 "Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me + to act has not yet come." +002:005 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you + to do, do it." +002:006 Now there were six stone jars standing there (in accordance + with the Jewish regulations for purification), each large + enough to hold twenty gallons or more. +002:007 Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water." + And they filled them to the brim. +002:008 Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the President + of the feast." +002:009 So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President + tasted the water now turned into wine, than--not knowing where it + came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water knew-- + he called to the bridegroom +002:010 and said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine first, + and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. + But you have kept the good wine till now." +002:011 This, the first of His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana + in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His + disciples believed in Him. +002:012 Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, + and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a + short stay there. +002:013 But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus + went up to Jerusalem. +002:014 And He found in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep + and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. +002:015 So He plaited a whip of rushes, and drove all--both sheep + and bullocks--out of the Temple. The small coin of the brokers + He upset on the ground and overturned their tables. +002:016 And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. + Do not turn my Father's house into a market." +002:017 This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My zeal + for Thy House will consume me." +002:018 So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you + exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?" +002:019 "Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I + will rebuild it." +002:020 "It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build + this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?" +002:021 But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body. +002:022 When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples + recollected that He had said this; and they believed + the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them. +002:023 Now when He was in Jerusalem, at the Festival of the Passover, + many became believers in Him through watching the miracles + He performed. +002:024 But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, + because He knew them all, +002:025 and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, + for He of Himself knew what was in the man. +003:001 Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus-- + a ruler among the Jews. +003:002 He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you + are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles + which you are doing, unless God is with him. +003:003 "In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless + a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God." +003:004 "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born + when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb + and be born?" +003:005 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless + a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter + the Kingdom of God. +003:006 Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever + has been born of the Spirit is spirit. +003:007 Do not be astonished at my telling you, `You must all + be born anew.' +003:008 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, + but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. + So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit." +003:009 "How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus. +003:010 "Are you," replied Jesus, "`the Teacher of Israel,' and yet + do you not understand these things? +003:011 In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, + and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, + and yet you all reject our testimony. +003:012 If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, + how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven? +003:013 There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One + who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose + home is in Heaven. +003:014 And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, + so must the Son of Man be lifted up, +003:015 in order that every one who trusts in Him may have the Life + of the Ages." +003:016 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, + that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have + the Life of Ages. +003:017 For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, + but that the world might be saved through Him. +003:018 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. + He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has + not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son. +003:019 And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has + come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they + loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked. +003:020 For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, + for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned. +003:021 But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, + in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been + done in God. +003:022 After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; + and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized. +003:023 And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were + many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism. +003:024 (For John was not yet in prison.) +003:025 As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's + disciples with a Jew about purification, +003:026 they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was + with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you + bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people + are resorting to him." +003:027 "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has + been granted to him from Heaven. +003:028 You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, `I am not + the Christ,' but `I am His appointed forerunner.' +003:029 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's + friend who stands by his side and listens to him, + rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. + Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. +003:030 He must grow greater, but I must grow less. +003:031 He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin + is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, + his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven + is above all. +003:032 What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; + but His testimony no one receives. +003:033 Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared + that God is true. +003:034 For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does + not give the Spirit with limitations." +003:035 The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything + to His hands. +003:036 He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; + he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's + anger remains upon him. +004:001 Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees + had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more + disciples than John"-- +004:002 though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did-- +004:003 He left Judaea and returned to Galilee. +004:004 His road lay through Samaria, +004:005 and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece + of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. +004:006 Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, + tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. + It was about six o'clock in the evening. +004:007 Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. + Jesus asked her to give Him some water; +004:008 for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions. +004:009 "How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you + asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" + (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) +004:010 "If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it + is that said to you, `Give me some water,' you would have + asked Him, and He would have given you living water." +004:011 "Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well + is deep; so where can you get the living water from? +004:012 Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, + and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?" +004:013 "Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water + will be thirsty again; +004:014 but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him + will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give + him will become a fountain within him of water springing up + for the Life of the Ages." +004:015 "Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never + be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw + from the well." +004:016 "Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back." +004:017 "I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you + have no husband," said Jesus; +004:018 "for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at + present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth + in saying that." +004:019 "Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet. +004:020 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say + that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem." +004:021 "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will + worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. +004:022 You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom + we know; for salvation comes from the Jews. +004:023 But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true + worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; + for indeed the Father desires such worshippers. +004:024 God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him + true spiritual worship." +004:025 "I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--`the Christ,' + as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything." +004:026 "I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you." +004:027 Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him + talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is + your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?" +004:028 The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, + and called the people. +004:029 "Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything + I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?" +004:030 They left the town and set out to go to Him. +004:031 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, + "eat something." +004:032 "I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know." +004:033 So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," + they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?" +004:034 "My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, + and fully to accomplish His work. +004:035 Do you not say, `It wants four months yet to the harvest'? + But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- + they are already ripe for the sickle. +004:036 The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation + for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers + may rejoice together. +004:037 For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, + `The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.' +004:038 I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your + own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting + benefit from their labours." +004:039 Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed + in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, + "He has told me all that I have ever done." +004:040 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on + all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. +004:041 Then a far larger number of people believed because of + His own words, +004:042 and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply + because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, + and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world." +004:043 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee; +004:044 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour + in his own country. +004:045 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed + Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had + done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been + to the Festival. +004:046 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made + the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer + of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum. +004:047 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, + he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; + for he was at the point of death. +004:048 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, + "nothing will induce you to believe." +004:049 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies." +004:050 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." + He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home; +004:051 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him + and told him that his son was alive and well. +004:052 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. + "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, + "the fever left him." +004:053 Then the father recollected that that was the time at + which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," + and he and his whole household became believers. +004:054 This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming + from Judaea into Galilee. +005:001 After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went + up to Jerusalem. +005:002 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, + called in Hebrew `Bethesda.' It has five arcades. +005:003 In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, + and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed. +005:004 [] +005:005 And there was one man there who had been an invalid + for thirty-eight years. +005:006 Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long + time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have + health and strength?" +005:007 "Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into + the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming + some one else steps down before me." +005:008 "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk." +005:009 Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took + up his mat and began to walk. +005:010 That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had + been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat." +005:011 "He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, `Take up your + mat and walk.'" +005:012 "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, `Take up your + mat and walk'?" +005:013 But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; + for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd + in the place. +005:014 Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, + "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, + or a worse thing may befall you." +005:015 The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored + him to health; +005:016 and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus-- + because He did these things on the Sabbath. +005:017 His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, + and so do I." +005:018 On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put + Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, + but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, + thus putting Himself on a level with God. +005:019 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son + can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees + the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does + in like manner. +005:020 For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself + is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, + in order that you may wonder. +005:021 For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, + so the Son also gives life to whom He wills. +005:022 The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted + all judgement to the Son, +005:023 that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. + The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour + from the Father who sent Him. +005:024 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my + teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, + and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out + of death into Life. +005:025 "In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming-- + nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice + of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live. +005:026 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given + to the Son to have life in Himself. +005:027 And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, + because He is the Son of Man. +005:028 Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are + in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth-- +005:029 they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, + and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection + of judgement. +005:030 "I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; + and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will + that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me. +005:031 "If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony + cannot be accepted. +005:032 There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know + that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me. +005:033 "You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness + to the truth. +005:034 But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; + though I say all this in order that you may be saved. +005:035 He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you + were willing to be gladdened by his light. +005:036 "But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; + for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to + bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing-- + affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me. +005:037 And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me. + None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what + He is like. +005:038 Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse + to believe Him whom *He* has sent. +005:039 "You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them + you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures + that yield testimony concerning me; +005:040 and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life. +005:041 "I do not accept glory from man, +005:042 but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do + not really love God. +005:043 I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not + receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, + him you will receive. +005:044 How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory + from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes + from the only God? +005:045 "Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. + There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom + your hope rests. +005:046 For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; + for he wrote about me. +005:047 But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?" +006:001 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, + the Lake of Tiberias). +006:002 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles + on the sick which He was constantly performing. +006:003 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples. +006:004 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand. +006:005 And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming + towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread + for all these people to eat?" +006:006 He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew + what He was going to do. +006:007 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough + for them all to get even a scanty meal." +006:008 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, + said to Him, +006:009 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: + but what is that among so many?" +006:010 "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was + covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men + numbering about 5,000. +006:011 Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He + distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; + and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired. +006:012 When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, + "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that + nothing be lost." +006:013 Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments + of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained + over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets. +006:014 Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, + said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world." +006:015 Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry + Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up + the hill alone by Himself. +006:016 When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake. +006:017 There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross + the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, + and Jesus had not yet joined them. +006:018 The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. +006:019 When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw + Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat. +006:020 They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, + "do not be afraid." +006:021 Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment + the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going. +006:022 Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on + the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one + small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go + on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went + away without Him. +006:023 Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood + of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord + had given thanks. +006:024 When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples + were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum + to look for Jesus. +006:025 So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, + they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" +006:026 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you + are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, + but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal. +006:027 Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, + but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages-- + that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; + for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." +006:028 "What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things + that God requires?" +006:029 "This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires-- + that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent." +006:030 "What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see + and become believers in you? What do you *do*? +006:031 Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, + `He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'." +006:032 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses + did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father + is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven. +006:033 For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives + Life to the world." +006:034 "Sir," they said, "always give us that bread." +006:035 "I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall + never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst. +006:036 But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet + you do not believe. +006:037 Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him + who comes to me I will never on any account drive away. +006:038 For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek + my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me. +006:039 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He + has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it + to life on the last day. +006:040 For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze + on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life + of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day." +006:041 Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His + claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven. +006:042 They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? + Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does + he mean by now saying, `I have come down out of Heaven'?" +006:043 "Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus; +006:044 "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; + then I will raise him to life on the last day. +006:045 It stands written in the Prophets, `And they shall all of them + be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father + and learns from Him comes to me. +006:046 No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. + He has seen the Father. +006:047 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has + the Life of the Ages. +006:048 I am the bread of Life. +006:049 Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died. +006:050 Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man + may eat it and not die. +006:051 I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. + If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. + Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given + for the life of the world." +006:052 This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," + they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?" +006:053 "In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless + you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, + you have no Life in you. +006:054 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, + and I will raise him up on the last day. +006:055 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. +006:056 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, + and I remain in union with him. +006:057 As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of + the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me. +006:058 This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike + that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. + He who eats this bread shall live for ever." +006:059 Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum. +006:060 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, + "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?" +006:061 But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied + about it, Jesus asked them, +006:062 "Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see + the Son of Man ascending again where He was before? +006:063 It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no + benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit + and are Life. +006:064 But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus + knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, + and who it was that would betray Him. +006:065 So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come + to me unless it be granted him by the Father." +006:066 Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, + and no longer associated with Him. +006:067 Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" + He asked. +006:068 "Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? + Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. +006:069 And we have come to believe and know that *you* are indeed + the Holy One of God." +006:070 "Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you + one is a devil." +006:071 He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. + For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards + to betray Him. +007:001 After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. + He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking + an opportunity to kill Him. +007:002 But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching. +007:003 So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, + that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles + which you perform. +007:004 For no one acts in secret, desiring all the while to be + himself known publicly. Since you are doing these things, + show yourself openly to the world." +007:005 For even His brothers were not believers in Him. +007:006 "My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any + time is suitable. +007:007 It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, + because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil. +007:008 As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up + to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come." +007:009 Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee. +007:010 When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, + then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately. +007:011 Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him + and were inquiring, "Where is he?" +007:012 Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate + about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: + he is imposing on the people." +007:013 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him. +007:014 But when the Festival was already half over, Jesus went up + to the Temple and commenced teaching. +007:015 The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything + of books," they said, "although he has never been at any + of the schools?" +007:016 Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does + not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me. +007:017 If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about + the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me. +007:018 The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. + He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, + and there is no deception in him. +007:019 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you + obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?" +007:020 "You are possessed by a demon," replied the crowd; "no one wants + to kill you." +007:021 "One deed I have done," replied Jesus, "and you are all + full of wonder. +007:022 Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision + (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), + and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child. +007:023 If a child is circumcised even on a Sabbath day, are you bitter + against me because I have restored a man to perfect health + on a Sabbath day? +007:024 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements + that are just." +007:025 Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this + the man they are wanting to kill? +007:026 But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing + to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this + man is the Christ? +007:027 And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; + but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where + He is from." +007:028 Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, + and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. + And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has + sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge. +007:029 I know Him, because I came from Him, and He sent me." +007:030 On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand + was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come. +007:031 But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. + "When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more + miracles than this teacher has performed?" +007:032 The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various + doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent + some officers to apprehend Him. +007:033 So Jesus said, "Still for a short time I am with you, + and then I go my way to Him who sent me. +007:034 You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am + you cannot come." +007:035 The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about + to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? + Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, + and teach the Gentiles? +007:036 What do those words of his mean, `You will look for me, + but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?" +007:037 On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood + up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him + come to me and drink. +007:038 He who believes in me, from within him--as the Scripture has said-- + rivers of living water shall flow." +007:039 He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him + were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, + because Jesus had not yet been glorified. +007:040 After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began + to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet." +007:041 Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so, + for is the Christ to come from Galilee? +007:042 Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come + of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?" +007:043 So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account. +007:044 Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid + hands upon Him. +007:045 Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, + who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?" +007:046 "No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks," + said the officers. +007:047 "Are *you* deluded too?" replied the Pharisees; +007:048 "has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? +007:049 But this rabble who understand nothing about the Law are accursed!" +007:050 Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, + being himself one of them. +007:051 "Does our Law," he asked, "judge a man without first hearing + what he has to say and ascertaining what his conduct is?" +007:052 "Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. + "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is + of Galilaean origin." +007:053 [So they went away to their several homes; +008:001 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. +008:002 At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there + the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself; +008:003 and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought + to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. + They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put + the case to Him. +008:004 "Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act + of committing adultery. +008:005 Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. + But what do you say?" +008:006 They asked this in order to put Him to the test, + so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. + But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger + on the ground. +008:007 When however they persisted with their question, He raised + His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you + be the first to throw a stone at her." +008:008 Then He leant forward again, and again began to write + on the ground. +008:009 They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, + took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. + And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre + of the court. +008:010 Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? + Has no one condemned you?" +008:011 "No one, Sir," she replied. "And *I* do not condemn you either," + said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."] +008:012 Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," + He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk + in the dark, but shall have the light of Life." +008:013 "You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; + "your testimony is not true." +008:014 "Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, + "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I + am going, but you know neither of these two things. +008:015 You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one. +008:016 And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, + but the Father who sent me is with me. +008:017 In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two + men is true. +008:018 I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent + me gives testimony about me." +008:019 "Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father + as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, + you would know my Father also." +008:020 These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching + in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time + had not yet come. +008:021 Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try + to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, + it is impossible for you to come." +008:022 The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, + do you think, that he says, `Where I am going, it is impossible + for you to come'?" +008:023 "You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: + you are of this present world, I am not of this present world. +008:024 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; + for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen." +008:025 "You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking + to you at all?" replied Jesus. +008:026 "Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. + But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard + from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak." +008:027 They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father. +008:028 So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, + then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; + but as the Father has taught me, so I speak. +008:029 And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: + for I do always what is pleasing to Him." +008:030 As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him. +008:031 Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed + in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, + then you are truly my disciples; +008:032 and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free." +008:033 "We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, + "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. + What do those words of yours mean, `You shall become free'?" +008:034 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every + one who commits sin is the slave of sin. +008:035 Now a slave does not remain permanently in his master's house, + but a son does. +008:036 If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed. +008:037 You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, + because my teaching gains no ground within you. +008:038 The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence + of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have + heard from your father." +008:039 "Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," + replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing. +008:040 But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has + spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. + Abraham did not do that. +008:041 You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, + "are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God." +008:042 "If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; + for it is from God that I came and I am now here. + I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me. +008:043 How is it you do not understand me when I speak? + It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words. +008:044 The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do + what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, + and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. + Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; + for he is a liar, and the father of lies. +008:045 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. +008:046 Which of *you* convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, + why do you not believe me? +008:047 He who is a child of God listens to God's words. + You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are + not God's children." +008:048 "Are we not right," answered the Jews, "in saying that you + are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?" +008:049 "I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. + "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me. +008:050 I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One + who aims at glory for me--and who judges. +008:051 In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have + obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." +008:052 "Now," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed + by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, + and yet *you* say, `If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, + he shall in no case ever taste death.' +008:053 Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. + And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" +008:054 "Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no + real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, + who you say is your God. +008:055 You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny + my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. + On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands. +008:056 Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: + and he saw it, and was glad." +008:057 "You are not yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have + you seen Abraham?" +008:058 "In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before + Abraham came into existence, I am." +008:059 Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, + but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple. +009:001 As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth. +009:002 So His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned--this man + or his parents--that he was born blind?" +009:003 "Neither he nor his parents sinned," answered Jesus, + "but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be + openly shown in him. +009:004 We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. + Night is coming on, when no one can work. +009:005 When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." +009:006 After thus speaking, He spat on the ground, and then, + kneading the dust and spittle into clay, He smeared the clay + over the man's eyes and said to him, +009:007 "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam"--the name means `Sent.' + So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see. +009:008 His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had + been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, + "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" +009:009 "Yes it is," replied some of them. "No it is not," + said others, "but he is like him." His own statement was, + "I am the man." +009:010 "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked. +009:011 "He whose name is Jesus," he answered, "made clay and smeared + my eyes with it, and then told me to go to Siloam and wash. + So I went and washed and obtained sight." +009:012 "Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know. +009:013 They brought him to the Pharisees--the man who had been blind. +009:014 Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's + eyes was the Sabbath. +009:015 So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had + obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, + "and I washed, and now I can see." +009:016 This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come + from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it + possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others. +009:017 And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once + blind man, "What is your account of him?--for he opened your eyes." + "He is a Prophet," he replied. +009:018 The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him-- + that he had been blind and had obtained his sight--until they + called his parents and asked them, +009:019 "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then + that he can now see?" +009:020 "We know," replied the parents, "that this is our son and that + he was born blind; +009:021 but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his + eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; + he himself will give his own account of it." +009:022 Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; + for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any + one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be + excluded from the synagogue. +009:023 That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: + ask him himself." +009:024 A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, + and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man + is a sinner." +009:025 "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; + "one thing I know--that I was once blind and that now I can see." +009:026 "What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?" +009:027 "I have told you already," he replied, "and you did + not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? + Do you also mean to be disciples of his?" +009:028 Then they railed at him, and said, "You are that man's disciple, + but we are disciples of Moses. +009:029 We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this fellow we + do not know where he comes from." +009:030 "Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know + where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes! +009:031 We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any + one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens. +009:032 From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard + of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind + from his birth. +009:033 Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing." +009:034 "You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, + and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue. +009:035 Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, + He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" +009:036 "Who is He, Sir?" replied the man. "Tell me, so that I may + believe in Him." +009:037 "You have seen Him," said Jesus; "and not only so: + He is now speaking to you." +009:038 "I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet. +009:039 "I came into this world," said Jesus, "to judge men, + that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see + may become blind." +009:040 These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, + and they asked Him, "Are *we* also blind?" +009:041 "If you were blind," answered Jesus, "you would have no sin; + but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. + So your sin remains!" +010:001 "In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter + the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, + is a thief and a robber. +010:002 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. +010:003 To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; + and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out. +010:004 When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them-- + he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, + because they know his voice. +010:005 But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away + from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers." +010:006 Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did + not understand what He meant. +010:007 Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I + tell you that I am the Door of the sheep. +010:008 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; + but the sheep would not listen to them. +010:009 I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, + and will go in and out and find pasture. +010:010 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: + I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance. +010:011 "I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life + for the sheep. +010:012 The hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own + the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves + the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them. +010:013 For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep. +010:014 "I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me, +010:015 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am + laying down my life for the sheep. +010:016 I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. + Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; + and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd. +010:017 For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down + my life in order to receive it back again. +010:018 No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. + I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive + it back again. This is the command I received from my Father." +010:019 Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words. +010:020 Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. + Why do you listen to him?" +010:021 Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: + and can a demon open blind men's eyes?" +010:022 The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter, +010:023 and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico, +010:024 when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long + do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, + tell us so plainly." +010:025 "I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. + The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give + testimony about me. +010:026 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep. +010:027 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. +010:028 I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, + never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand. +010:029 What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; + and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand. +010:030 I and the Father are one." +010:031 Again the Jews brought stones with which to stone Him. +010:032 Jesus remonstrated with them. "Many good deeds," He said, + "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them + are you going to stone me?" +010:033 "For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, + but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, + are making yourself out to be God." +010:034 "Does it not stand written in your Law," replied Jesus, "`I said, + you are gods'? +010:035 If those to whom God's word was addressed are called gods + (and the Scripture cannot be annulled), +010:036 how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated + and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, + `I am God's Son'? +010:037 If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me. +010:038 But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, + at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly + that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father." +010:039 This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew + out of their power. +010:040 Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, + to the place where John had been baptizing at first; + and there He stayed. +010:041 Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, + "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about + this Teacher was true." +010:042 And many became believers in Him there. +011:001 Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- + Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha. +011:002 (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped + His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.) +011:003 So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold + dear is ill." +011:004 Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not + to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, + in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it." +011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. +011:006 When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained + two days in that same place. +011:007 Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us + return to Judaea." +011:008 "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying + to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?" +011:009 "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. + "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble-- + because he sees the light of this world. +011:010 But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light + is not in him." +011:011 He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus + is sleeping, but I will go and wake him." +011:012 "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover." +011:013 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred + to the rest taken in ordinary sleep. +011:014 So then He told them plainly, +011:015 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, + in order that you may believe. But let us go to him." +011:016 "Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, + "that we may die with him." +011:017 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been + three days in the tomb. +011:018 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less + than two miles; +011:019 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, + having come to express sympathy with them on the death + of their brother. +011:020 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," + went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house. +011:021 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," + she said, "my brother would not have died. +011:022 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, + God will give you." +011:023 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus. +011:024 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, + on the last day." +011:025 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes + in me, even if he has died, he shall live; +011:026 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, + never die. Do you believe this?" +011:027 "Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are + the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." +011:028 After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, + telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you." +011:029 So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him. +011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still + at the place where Martha had met Him. +011:031 So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, + when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, + followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb + to weep aloud there. +011:032 Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His + feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother + would not have died." +011:033 Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping + who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion + of His spirit, +011:034 though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" + "Master, come and see," was their reply. +011:035 Jesus wept. +011:036 "See how dear he held him," said the Jews. +011:037 But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind + man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?" +011:038 Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, + came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid + against the mouth of it. +011:039 "Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the + dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; + for it is three days since he died." +011:040 "Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, + you shall see the glory of God?" +011:041 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes + and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me. +011:042 I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd + standing round I have said this--that they may believe + that Thou didst send me." +011:043 After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, + "Lazarus, come out." +011:044 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, + and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," + said Jesus, "and let him go free." +011:045 Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those + who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds-- + became believers in Him; +011:046 though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them + what He had done. +011:047 Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of + the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; + "for this man is performing a great number of miracles. +011:048 If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe + in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city + and our nation." +011:049 But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, + said, "You know nothing about it. +011:050 You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man + should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish." +011:051 It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being + High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus + was to die for the nation, +011:052 and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one + body all the far-scattered children of God. +011:053 So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order + to put Him to death. +011:054 Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, + but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district + near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there + with the disciples. +011:055 The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district + went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. +011:056 They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another + as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think?--will he come + to the Festival at all?" +011:057 Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders + that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, + so that they might arrest Him. +012:001 Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, + where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead. +012:002 So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which + Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests + who were with Him. +012:003 Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight + of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, + and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled + with the fragrance of the perfume. +012:004 Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one + who afterwards betrayed Jesus), +012:005 "Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money + given to the poor?" +012:006 The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, + but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, + he used to steal what was put into it. +012:007 But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her + to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial. +012:008 For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always." +012:009 Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; + but they came not only on His account, but also in order + to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life. +012:010 The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus + also to death, +012:011 for because of him many of the Jews left them and became + believers in Jesus. +012:012 The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, + hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, +012:013 took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, + shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who + comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!" +012:014 And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, + just as the Scripture says, +012:015 "Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding + on an ass's colt." +012:016 The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; + but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this + was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him. +012:017 The large number of people, however, who had been present when He + called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, + related what they had witnessed. +012:018 This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they + had heard of His having performed that miracle. +012:019 The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, + "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is + gone after him!" +012:020 Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the + Festival were Greeks. +012:021 They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, + "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." +012:022 Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus. +012:023 His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man + to be glorified. +012:024 In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat + falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was-- + a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. +012:025 He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes + his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life + of the Ages. +012:026 If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; + and where I am, there too shall my servant be. + If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him. +012:027 Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? + Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I + have come to this hour. +012:028 Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from + the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again." +012:029 The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had + been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him." +012:030 "It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, + but for your sakes. +012:031 Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this + world be driven out. +012:032 And I--if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me." +012:033 He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die. +012:034 The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that + the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that + the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" +012:035 "Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. + Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness + should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does + not know where he is going. +012:036 In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, + so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, + and went away and hid Himself from them. +012:037 But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, + they did not believe in Him-- +012:038 in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might + be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? + And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?" +012:039 For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah + said again, +012:040 "He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, + lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, + and should turn, and I should heal them." +012:041 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; + and he spoke of Him. +012:042 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. + But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, + for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue. +012:043 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than + the glory that comes from God. +012:044 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not + so much in me, as in Him who sent me; +012:045 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me. +012:046 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one + who believes in me may remain in the dark. +012:047 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, + I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, + but to save the world. +012:048 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings + is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken + will judge him on the last day. +012:049 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father + who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in + what words to speak. +012:050 And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. + What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me." +013:001 Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. + Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world + and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were + in the world, He loved them to the end. +013:002 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time + suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought + of betraying Him, Jesus, +013:003 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, + and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God, +013:004 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took + a towel and tied it round Him. +013:005 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash + the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel + which He had put round Him. +013:006 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, + "are *you* going to wash my feet?" +013:007 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do + not know, but afterwards you shall know." +013:008 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you + wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, + "you have no share with me." +013:009 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands + and my head." +013:010 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not + need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. + And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true + of all of you." +013:011 For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, + "You are not all of you clean." +013:012 So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again, + and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand + what I have done to you? +013:013 You call me `The Rabbi' and `The Master,' and rightly so, + for such I am. +013:014 If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet, + it is also your duty to wash one another's feet. +013:015 For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I + have done to you. +013:016 In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior + to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him. +013:017 If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly. +013:018 I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, + but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may + be fulfilled, which says, `He who eats my bread has lifted + up his heel against me.' +013:019 From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, + in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He. +013:020 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever + I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him + who sent me." +013:021 After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said + with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you + that one of you will betray me." +013:022 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know + to which of them He was referring. +013:023 There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- + reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom. +013:024 Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us + to whom he is referring." +013:025 So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, + "Master, who is it?" +013:026 "It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this + piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He + dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, + the son of the Iscariot Simon. +013:027 Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered + into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him. +013:028 But why He said this no one else at the table understood. +013:029 Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box + Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," + or that he should give something to the poor. +013:030 So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. + And it was night. +013:031 So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of + Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. +013:032 Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify + Him without delay. +013:033 Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. + You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, `Where I am + going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you. +013:034 A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I + have loved you, you also may love one another. +013:035 It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples-- + if you love one another." +013:036 "Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" + "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, + but you shall be later." +013:037 "Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? + I will lay down my life on your behalf. +013:038 "You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; + "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow + before you have three times disowned me." +014:001 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: + trust in me also. +014:002 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were + it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make + ready a place for you. +014:003 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return + and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be. +014:004 And where I am going, you all know the way." +014:005 "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. + In what sense do we know the way?" +014:006 "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. + No one comes to the Father except through me. +014:007 If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. + From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him." +014:008 "Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: + that is all we need." +014:009 "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, + Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. + How can *you* ask me, `Cause us to see the Father'? +014:010 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father + is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on + my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries + on His own work. +014:011 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father + is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do. +014:012 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me-- + the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things + than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father. +014:013 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order + that the Father may be glorified in the Son. +014:014 If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it. +014:015 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. +014:016 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate + to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth. +014:017 That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see + Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your + side and is in you. +014:018 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you. +014:019 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you + will see me: because I live, you also shall live. +014:020 At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you + are in me, and that I am in you. +014:021 He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. + And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will + love him and will clearly reveal myself to him." +014:022 Judas (not the Iscariot) asked, "Master, how is it that you + will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to the world?" +014:023 "If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; + and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make + our home with him. +014:024 He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching; + and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, + but is the teaching of the Father who sent me. +014:025 "All this I have spoken to you while still with you. +014:026 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send + at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring + to your memories all that I have said to you. +014:027 Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. + It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. + Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed. +014:028 "You heard me say to you, `I am going away, and yet I am coming + to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I + am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am. +014:029 I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has + come to pass you may believe. +014:030 In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince + of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing; +014:031 but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, + and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father + gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going." +015:001 "I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. +015:002 Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away; + and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may + bear more fruit. +015:003 Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I + have given you. +015:004 Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch + cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue + in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me. +015:005 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who continues in me + and in whom I continue bears abundant fruit, for apart from me + you can do nothing. +015:006 If any one does not continue in me, he is like the unfruitful + branch which is at once thrown away and then withers up. + Such branches they gather up and throw into the fire and + they are burned. +015:007 "If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, + ask what you will and it shall be done for you. +015:008 By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit + and thus being true disciples of mine. +015:009 As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you: + continue in my love. +015:010 If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I + have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love. +015:011 "These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy + in you, and that your joy may become perfect. +015:012 This is my commandment to you, to love one another as I + have loved you. +015:013 No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life + for his friends. +015:014 You are my friends, if you do what I command you. +015:015 No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not + know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, + because all that I have heard from the Father I have made + known to you. +015:016 It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and + appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your + fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present + to the Father in my name He may give you. +015:017 "Thus I command you to love one another. +015:018 If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me + as the fixed object of its hatred. +015:019 If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. + But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen + you out of the world--for that reason the world hates you. +015:020 Bear in mind what I said to you, `A servant is not superior + to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will + also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, + they will obey yours also. +015:021 But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account + of your bearing my name--because they do not know Him + who sent me. +015:022 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; + but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin. +015:023 He who hates me hates my Father also. +015:024 If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no + one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they + have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father. +015:025 But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled + which stands written in their Law, `They have hated me + without any reason.' +015:026 "When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from + the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth + from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me. +015:027 And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me + from the first. +016:001 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear + stumbling-blocks out of your path. +016:002 You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time + is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose + he is offering service to God. +016:003 And they will do these things because they have failed + to recognize the Father and to discover who I am. +016:004 But I have spoken these things to you in order that when + the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, + and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you + all this at first, because I was still with you. +016:005 But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you + asks me where I am going. +016:006 But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all + this to you. +016:007 "Yet it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your + advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate + will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. +016:008 And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, + of righteousness, and of judgement;-- +016:009 of sin, because they do not believe in me; +016:010 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you + will no longer see me; +016:011 of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence. +016:012 "I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present + to bear the burden of it. +016:013 But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide + you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself + originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, + and He will make known the future to you. +016:014 He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine + and will make it known to you. +016:015 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said + that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make + it known to you. +016:016 "A little while and you see me no more, and again a little + while and you shall see me." +016:017 Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What does + this mean which He is telling us, `A little while and you + do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' + and `Because I am going to the Father'?" +016:018 So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that `little while' + mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words." +016:019 Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, + "Is this what you are questioning one another about-- + my saying, `A little while and you do not see me, and again + a little while and you shall see me'? +016:020 In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud + and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, + but your grief will be turned into gladness. +016:021 A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her + time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, + she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child + being born into the world. +016:022 So you also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, + and your hearts will be glad, and your gladness no one will + take away from you. +016:023 You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth + I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name + He will give you. +016:024 As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you + shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness. +016:025 "All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. + The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you + in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father + in plain words. +016:026 At that time you will make your requests in my name; + and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf, +016:027 for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me + dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence. +016:028 I came from the Father and have come into the world. + Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father." +016:029 "Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, + "and are uttering no figure of speech! +016:030 Now we know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be + pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you + came from God." +016:031 "Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus. +016:032 "Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you + all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. + And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. +016:033 "I have spoken all this to you in order that in me you + may have peace. In the world you have affliction. + But keep up your courage: *I* have won the victory + over the world." +017:001 When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven + and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son + that the Son may glorify Thee; +017:002 even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, + so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life + of the Ages. +017:003 And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee + the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. +017:004 I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work + which by Thine appointment has been mine to do. +017:005 And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, + with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed. +017:006 "I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me + out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, + and they have obeyed Thy message. +017:007 Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee. +017:008 For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. + And they have received them, and have known for certain that I + came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou + didst send me. +017:009 "I am making request for them: for the world I do not make + any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. + Because they are Thine, +017:010 and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is + Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them. +017:011 I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I + am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name-- + the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, + even as we are. +017:012 While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name + Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not + one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction-- + that the Scripture may be fulfilled. +017:013 "But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I + am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness + within them filling their hearts. +017:014 I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, + because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not + belong to the world. +017:015 I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, + but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one. +017:016 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong + to the world. +017:017 Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth. +017:018 Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them; +017:019 and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they + may become perfectly consecrated in truth. +017:020 "Nor is it for them alone that I make request. + It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching; +017:021 that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, + and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world + may believe that Thou didst send me. +017:022 And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, + that they may be one, just as we are one: +017:023 I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; + that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me + and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou + hast loved me. +017:024 "Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I + am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory-- + my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because + Thou didst love me before the creation of the world. +017:025 And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to + recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived + that Thou didst send me. +017:026 And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, + that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, + and that I may be in them." +018:001 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His + disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine + of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered-- + Himself and His disciples. +018:002 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, + knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there + with His disciples. +018:003 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment + of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, + came there with torches and lamps and weapons. +018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, + went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" + He asked them. +018:005 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. + (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.) +018:006 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards + and fell to the ground. +018:007 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" + "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said. +018:008 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. + If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples + go their way." +018:009 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken + might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, + I have not lost one." +018:010 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at + the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. + The servant's name was Malchus. +018:011 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. + Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father + has given me to drink?" +018:012 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, + and took Jesus and bound Him. +018:013 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law + of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year. +018:014 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is + to your interest that one man should die for the People.") +018:015 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was + another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, + and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace. +018:016 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple + who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced + the portress to let Peter in. +018:017 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also + one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied. +018:018 Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted + a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; + and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself. +018:019 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples + and His teaching. +018:020 "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. + I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple + where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said + nothing in secret. +018:021 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I + said to them: these witnesses here know what I said." +018:022 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him + with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way + you answer the High Priest?" +018:023 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it + as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?" +018:024 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest. +018:025 But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this + led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" + He denied it, and said, "No, I am not." +018:026 One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man + whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you + in the garden with him?" +018:027 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed. +018:028 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. + It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium + themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they + might be able to eat the Passover. +018:029 Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation + have you to bring against this man?" +018:030 "If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would + not have handed him over to you." +018:031 "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." + "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death." +018:032 They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus + predicted the kind of death He was to die. +018:033 Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus + and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" +018:034 "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you + about me?" replied Jesus. +018:035 "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation + and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. + What have you done?" +018:036 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. + If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have + resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. + But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin." +018:037 "So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, + "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I + was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world-- + to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend + of the truth listens to my voice." +018:038 "What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken + the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, + "I find no crime in him. +018:039 But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner + to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King + of the Jews?" +018:040 With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, + but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber. +019:001 Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. +019:002 And the soldiers, twisting twigs of thorn into a wreath, + put it on His head, and threw round Him a crimson cloak. +019:003 Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, + "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms + of their hands. +019:004 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am + bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I + find no crime in him." +019:005 So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the + crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man." +019:006 As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, + they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him + yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, + find no crime in him." +019:007 "We," replied the Jews, "have a Law, and in accordance with that + Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God." +019:008 More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words + than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus. +019:009 "What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer. +019:010 "Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you + not know that I have it in my power either to release you + or to crucify you?" +019:011 "You would have had no power whatever over me," + replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. + On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more + guilty than you are." +019:012 Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. + But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, + you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up + as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar." +019:013 On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down + on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement-- + or in Hebrew, Gabbatha. +019:014 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock + in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!" +019:015 This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! + Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. + "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests. +019:016 Then Pilate gave Him up to them to be crucified. + Accordingly they took Jesus; +019:017 and He went out carrying His own cross, to the place + called Skull-place--or, in Hebrew, Golgotha-- +019:018 where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, + one on each side and Jesus in the middle. +019:019 And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of + the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. +019:020 Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus + was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in + three languages--Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. +019:021 This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. + "You should not write `The King of the Jews,'" they said, + "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews." +019:022 "What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer. +019:023 So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His + garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts-- + one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, + woven from the top in one piece. +019:024 So they said to one another, "Do not let us tear it. + Let us draw lots for it." This happened that the Scripture + might be fulfilled which says, "They shared my garments + among them, and drew lots for my clothing." That was just + what the soldiers did. +019:025 Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His + mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. +019:026 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He + loved standing near, said to His mother, "Behold, your son!" +019:027 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" + And from that time the disciple received her into his own home. +019:028 After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought + to an end, said--that the Scripture might be fulfilled, + "I am thirsty." +019:029 There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they + filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, + and lifted it to His mouth. +019:030 As soon as Jesus had taken the wine, He said, "It is finished." + And then, bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit. +019:031 Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation + for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain + on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one + of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs + of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed. +019:032 Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first + man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus. +019:033 Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He + was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs. +019:034 One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side + with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out. +019:035 This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. + He knows that he is telling the truth--in order that you + also may believe. +019:036 For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled + which declares, "Not one of His bones shall be broken." +019:037 And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom + they have pierced." +019:038 After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, + but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission + to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. + So he came and removed the body. +019:039 Nicodemus too--he who at first had visited Jesus by night-- + came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about + seventy or eighty pounds. +019:040 Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along + with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of + preparing for burial. +019:041 There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, + and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. +019:042 Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for + the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, + they put Jesus there. +020:001 On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, + Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had + been removed from it. +020:002 So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter + and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus-- + and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, + and we do not know where they have put Him." +020:003 Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, + both of them running, +020:004 but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it + before he did. +020:005 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there + on the ground, but he did not go in. +020:006 Simon Peter, however, also came, following him, and entered the tomb. + There on the ground he saw the cloths; +020:007 and the towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, + not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself. +020:008 Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, + also went in and saw and was convinced. +020:009 For until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, + that He must rise again from among the dead. +020:010 Then they went away and returned home. +020:011 Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. + She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped + and looked in, +020:012 and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at + the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. +020:013 They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. + "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, + and I do not know where they have put him." +020:014 While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus + standing there, but did not recognize Him. +020:015 "Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" + She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you + have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I + will remove him." +020:016 "Mary!" said Jesus. She turned to Him. "Rabboni!" she cried + in Hebrew: the word means `Teacher!' +020:017 "Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended + to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: + `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God + and your God.'" +020:018 Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. + "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He + had said these things to her. +020:019 On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, + for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the + disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, + and said to them, "Peace be to you!" +020:020 Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; + and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master. +020:021 A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! + As the Father sent me, I also now send you." +020:022 Having said this He breathed upon them and said, + "Receive the Holy Spirit. +020:023 If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. + If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound." +020:024 Thomas, one of the twelve--surnamed `the Twin'--was not among + them when Jesus came. +020:025 So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen + the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands + the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, + and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it." +020:026 A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas + was with them, when Jesus came--though the doors were locked-- + and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace be to you." +020:027 Then He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here and feel my hands; + bring you hand and put it into my side; and do not be ready + to disbelieve but to believe." +020:028 "My Lord and my God!" replied Thomas. +020:029 "Because you have seen me," replied Jesus, "you have believed. + Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." +020:030 There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus + performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not + recorded in this book. +020:031 But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He + is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, + you may have Life through His name. +021:001 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. + It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows. +021:002 Simon Peter was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of + Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of + the Master's disciples. +021:003 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." "We will go too," + said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; + but they caught nothing that night. +021:004 When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, + though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. +021:005 He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any + food there?" "No," they answered. +021:006 "Throw the net in on the right hand side," He said, "and you + will find fish." So they threw the net in, and now they + could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish. +021:007 This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is + the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, + "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt-- + for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang + into the water. +021:008 But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they + were not far from land--only about a hundred yards off), + dragging the net full of fish. +021:009 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, + with fish broiling on it, and bread close by. +021:010 Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they + had just caught. +021:011 So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore + full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there + were so many, the net had not broken. +021:012 "Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one + of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, + for they felt sure that it was the Master. +021:013 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, + and the fish in the same way. +021:014 This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself + to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead. +021:015 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, + son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" + "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." + "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus. +021:016 Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, + do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you + are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said. +021:017 A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, + am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him + the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, + "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." + "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus. +021:018 "In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, + you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, + when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms + and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you + where you have no wish to go." +021:019 This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple + would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said + to him, "Follow me." +021:020 Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus + loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned + back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that + is betraying you?" +021:021 On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?" +021:022 "If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, + "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me." +021:023 Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple + would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," + but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern + is that of yours?" +021:024 That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, + and has written this history; and we know that his + testimony is true. +021:025 But there are also many other things which Jesus did--so vast + a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, + I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books + that would have to be written. + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John *** + +This file should be named wnt0410.txt or wnt0410.zip +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, wnt0411.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, wnt0410a.txt + +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.
