In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was to God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning to God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness didn't comprehend it.
¶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, so all men might believe through him. He wasn't that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
¶ That was the true Light, who lights every man who comes into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world didn't know him. He came to his own, and his own didn't receive him. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and lived among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ¶ John bore witness of him, and cried, saying, "This was he of whom I spoke, He who comes after me is preferred before me: because he was before me." ¶ And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. Since the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Messiah Jesus. No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
¶ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" And he confessed, and didn't deny; but confessed, "I am not Messiah." And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elias?" And he says, "I am not." "Are you that prophet?" And he answered, "No." Then said they to him, "Who are you? so that we may give an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?" He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah." And they who were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said to him, "Why do you baptize then, if you are not that Messiah, nor Elias, neither that prophet?" John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom you don't know; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose." These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
¶ The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is preferred before me: because he was before me. And I didn't know him: but I came baptizing in water so he be made manifest to Israel." And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he abode on him. And I didn't know him: but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, On whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bore witness that this is the Son of God." ¶ Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; and looking on Jesus as he walked, he says, "Look, the Lamb of God!" And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says to them, "What do you seek?" They said to him, "Rabbi,(which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where do you live?" He says to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, "We have found Messias," which is, being interpreted, Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus looked at him, he said, "You are Simon the son of Jona: You'll be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, A stone.
¶ The day following Jesus would go out into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." And Nathanael said to him, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip says to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, "Look, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" Nathanael says to him, "Where do you know me from?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Nathanael answered and says to him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree? You'll see greater things than these." And he says to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you'll see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man from now on."
¶ And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says to him, "They have no wine." Jesus says to her, "Woman, what do I have to do with you? my hour has not yet come." His mother says to the servants, "Do whatever he says to you." And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus says to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And they filled them up to the brim. And he says to them, "Draw out now, and carry to the governor of the feast." And they carried it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and didn't know where it was from: (but the servants who drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and says to him, "Every man at the beginning does set out good wine; and when men have well drunk, then what is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now." This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
¶ After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
¶ And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: and when he had made a whip of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; and said to them who sold doves, "Take these things out of here; don't make my Father's house a store." And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up. ¶ Then answered the Jews and said to him, "What sign do you show to us, seeing that you do these things?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I'll raise it up." Then said the Jews, "Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rear it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his body. So when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. ¶ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus didn't commit himself to them, because he knew all men, and didn't need any to testify of man: since he knew what was in man. ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: no man can do these miracles that you do, if God isn't with him." Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man isn't born again, he can't see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus says to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man isn't born of water and of the Spirit, he can't enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't wonder that I said to you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it likes, and you hear its sound, but can't tell where it comes from, and where it goes: so is every one who is born of the Spirit." Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you a master of Israel, and don't know these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you don't receive our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and you don't believe, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man has gone up to heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven. ¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of man must be lifted up: so whoever believes in him not perish, but have eternal life. ¶ God so loved the world, so he gave his only begotten Son, so whoever believes in him not perish, but have everlasting life. God didn't send his Son into the world to condemn the world; but so the world through him might be saved. ¶ He who believes on him is not condemned: but he who doesn't believe is condemned already, because he hasn't believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. every one who does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, so his deeds not be reproved. But he who does truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be revealed, that they are worked in God."
¶ After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
¶ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. John was not yet cast into prison. ¶ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, look, the same baptizes, and all men come to him." John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, if it isn't given him from heaven. You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him. He who has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: so this my joy has been fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all: he who is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he who comes from heaven is above all. And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony. He who has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true. He whom God has sent speaks the words of God: God doesn't give the Spirit by measure to him. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He who believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he who doesn't believe the Son shan't see life; but the anger of God abides on him."
¶ So when the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (though Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples,) He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. And he has to go through Samaria. Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, "Give me to drink." (His disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.) Then says the woman of Samaria to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria?" The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water." The woman says to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then do you have that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: but whoever drinks of the water that I'll give him shall never thirst; but the water that I'll give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." The woman says to him, "Sir, give me this water, so I not be thirsty, nor come here to draw." Jesus says to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, I have no husband: You have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly." The woman says to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus says to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you'll neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you don't know: we worship what we know: since the salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: the Father seeks such to worship him. God is Spirit: and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." The woman says to him, "I know that Messias comes, who is called Christ: when he comes, he'll tell us all things." Jesus says to her, "I who speak to you am he." ¶ And on this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her? The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men, "Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: isn't this the Messiah?" Then they went out of the city, and came to him. ¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, "Master, eat." But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know of." So the disciples said one to another, "Has any man brought him anything to eat?" Jesus says to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work. Don't you say, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? look, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; since they are white already to harvest. And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps. I sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you have entered their labors." ¶ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the saying of the woman, who testified, "He told me all that ever I did." So when the Samaritans were come to him, they asked him that he would stay with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word; and said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your saying: we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world."
¶ Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee. Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country. Then when he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all what he did at Jerusalem at the feast: since they also went to the feast. So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and entreated him to come down, and heal his son: he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you won't believe." The nobleman says to him, "Sir, come down before my child die." Jesus says to him, "Go your way; your son lives." And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, "Your son lives." Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." So the father knew that it was at the same hour, when Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he had come out of Judea into Galilee.
¶ After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. An angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had. And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he says to him, "Do you wish to be made whole?" The impotent man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled: but while I am coming, another steps down before me." Jesus says to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. ¶ So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." He answered them, "He who made me whole, the same said to me, Take up your bed, and walk." Then asked they him, "What man is that who said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?" And he who was healed didn't know who it was: Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. ¶ Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, "Look, you are made whole: sin no more so a worse thing couldn't come to you." The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had made him whole. And the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. ¶ But Jesus answered them, "My Father works up to now, and I work." So the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: whatever he does, these also does the Son likewise. The Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he'll show him greater works than these so you may wonder. As the Father raises up the dead, and revives them; even so the Son revives whom he wishs. The Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son: so that all men honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who has sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears my word, and believes on him who sent me, has everlasting life, and doesn't come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God: and they who hear will live. As the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Don't wonder at this: the hour is coming, when all who are in the graves will hear his voice, and will come out; they who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. I can do nothing of my own self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. ¶ There is another who bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true. You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth. But I don't receive testimony from man: but these things I say for you to be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a season. ¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me. And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And you don't have his word abiding in you: since whom he has sent, him you don't believe. ¶ Search the scriptures; since in them you think you have eternal life: and they are what testify of me. And you don't wish to come to me so that you might have life. I don't receive honor from men. But I know you, that you don't have the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me: if another comes in his own name, him you'll receive. How can you believe, who receive honor one of another, and don't seek the honor that comes from God only? Don't think that I'll accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust. You had believed Moses, you would have believed me: he wrote of me. But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
¶ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great crowd followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them who were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. ¶ When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he says to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these to eat?" And this he said to prove him: he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Fourteen thousand dollars' worth of bread is not sufficient for them so that every one of them may take a little." One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him, "There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?" And Jesus said, "Make the men sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them who were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they wanted. When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain so nothing be lost." So they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them who had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, "This is of a truth that prophet who come into the world." ¶ So when Jesus perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea, and entered a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about 5km, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid. But he says to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land where they went. ¶ The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus didn't go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone; (Nevertheless there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they did eat bread after the Lord gave thanks:) so when the people saw that Jesus wasn't there, neither his disciples, they also got into boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Don't labor for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures into everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you: God the Father has sealed him." Then said they to him, "What shall we do to do the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent." So they said to him, "What sign do you show then, so that we may see, and believe you? what do you work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses didn't give you that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. The bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world." Then said they to him, "Lord, give us this bread always." And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life: he who comes to me shall never hunger; and he who believes on me shall never thirst. But I said to you, that you also have seen me, and don't believe. All whom the Father gives me shall come to me; and him who comes to me I'll in no way cast out. I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the Father's will who has sent me, that of all whom he has given me I lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him who sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I'll raise him up at the last day." The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?" So Jesus answered and said to them, "Don't murmur among yourselves. No man can come to me, if the Father who has sent me doesn't draw him: and I'll raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they'll be all taught of God. So every man who has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me. Not that any man has seen the Father, but he who is of God, he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on me has everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven so a man may eat of it, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eats of this bread, he'll live forever: and the bread that I'll give is my flesh, which I'll give for the life of the world." So the Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I'll raise him up at the last day. My flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, lives in me, and I in him. As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father: so he who eats me, even he'll live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he who eats of this bread shall live forever." These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. And many of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is an hard saying; who can hear it?" When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, "Does this offend you? What and if you see the Son of man go up where he was before? It is the spirit that revives; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who don't believe." Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who should betray him. And he said, "Therefore said I to you, that no man can come to me, if it weren't given to him of my Father." ¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus to the twelve, "Will you also go away?" Then Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that you are that Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered them, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: it was he who betray him, being one of the twelve.
¶ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: he didn't want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. So his brethren said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea so that your disciples also may see the works that you do. There is no man who does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world." Neither did his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come: but your time is always ready. The world can't hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil. You go up to this feast: I don't go up yet to this feast; because my time has not yet full come." When he had said these words to them, he remained still in Galilee.
¶ But when his brethren had gone up, then went he also up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?" And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: some said, "He is a good man:" others said, "No; but he deceives the people." Nevertheless no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. ¶ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never learned?" Ieshua answered them, and said, "My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. If any man wills to do his will, he'll know of the doctrine, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself. He who speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he who seeks his glory who sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet does none of you keep the law? Why do you go about to kill me?" The people answered and said, "You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?" Jesus answered and said to them, "I have done one work, and you all wonder. Moses gave to you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision so the law of Moses not be broken; are you angry at me, because I have made a man every bit whole on the sabbath day? Don't judge according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." Then said some of them of Jerusalem, "Isn't this he, whom they seek to kill? But, look, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Nevertheless we know this man where he is from: but when Messiah comes, no man knows where he is from." Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, "You both know me, and you know where I am from: and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know. But I know him: since I am from him, and he has sent me." Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, "When Messiah comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?" ¶ The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. Then said Jesus to them, "Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him who sent me. You'll seek me, and won't find me: and where I am, there you can't come." Then said the Jews among themselves, "Where does he intend to go, that we cannot find him? will he go to the scattered among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that he said, You'll seek me, and won't find me: and where I am, you can't come?" ¶ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirsts, let him come to me, and drink. He who believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (But this spoke he of the Spirit, whom they who believe on him should receive: since the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.) ¶ And many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet." Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some said, "Will Messiah come out of Galilee? Hasn't the scripture said that Messiah comes of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?" So there was a division among the people because of him. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. ¶ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, "Why have you not brought him?" The officers answered, "Never man spoke like this man." Then answered them the Pharisees, "Are you also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who doesn't know the law are cursed." Nicodemus says to them, (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) "Does our law judge any man, before it hears him, and knows what he does?" They answered and said to him, "Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: since out of Galilee arises no prophet." And every man went to his own house. ¶ Jesus went to the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle, they say to him, "Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such be stoned: but what do you say?" This they said, testing him, so they might have something to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he didn't hear them. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, "Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?" She said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more." ¶ Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he who follows me won't walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." So the Pharisees said to him, "You bear witness of yourself; your witness is not true." Jesus answered and said to them, "Though I bear witness of myself, yet my witness is true: because I know where I came from, and where I go; but you can't tell where I come from, and where I go. You judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me." Then said they to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You neither know me, nor my Father: if you'd known me, you'd have known my Father, too." These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; since his hour hadn't yet come. Then said Jesus again to them, "I go my way, and you'll seek me, and will die in your sins: where I go, you can't come." Then said the Jews, "Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, you can't come." And he said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world. So I said to you, that you'll die in your sins: if you don't believe that I am he, you'll die in your sins." Then said they to him, "Who are you?" And Jesus says to them, "Even the same whom I said to you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world what I have heard of him." They didn't understand that he spoke to them of the Father. Then said Jesus to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you'll know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. And he who sent me is with me: the Father hasn't left me alone; because I do always what please him." As he spoke these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, "If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you'll know the truth, and the truth will make you free." ¶ They answered him, "We're Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how do you say, You'll be made free?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant doesn't abide in the house forever: but the Son abides ever. So if the Son makes you free, you'll be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my Father: and you do what you have seen with your father." They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus says to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this didn't Abraham. You do the deeds of your father." Then said they to him, "We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God." Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me: I proceeded out of God and came; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why don't you understand my speech? even because you can't hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and didn't abide in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: since he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me. Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why don't you believe me? He who is of God hears God's words: you don't hear them, because you are not of God." Then answered the Jews, and said to him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?" Jesus answered, "I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me. And I don't seek my own glory: there is one who seeks and judges. Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps my saying, he'll never see death." Then said the Jews to him, "Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my saying, he'll never taste of death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom do you make yourself?" Jesus answered, "If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father who honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God: Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I don't know him, I'll be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad." Then said the Jews to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am." Then took they up stones to throw at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by. ¶ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, "Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, so he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but so the works of God be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam," (which is by interpretation, Sent.) So he went his way, and washed, and came seeing. ¶ So the neighbors, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?" Some said, "This is he:" others said, "He is like him:" but he said, "I am he." So they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" He answered and said, "A man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight." Then said they to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know." ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him who formerly was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see." And some of the Pharisees said, "This man isn't of God, because he doesn't keep the sabbath day." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles?" And there was a division among them. They say to the blind man again, "What do you say of him, that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." But the Jews didn't believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?" His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: but by what means he now sees, we don't know; or who has opened his eyes, we don't know: he is of age; ask him: he'll speak for himself." These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews: since the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Messiah, he be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. Then again called they the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner." He answered and said, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." Then said they to him again, "What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes?" He answered them, "I have told you already, and you didn't hear: why would you hear it again? do you also wish to be his disciples?" Then they reviled him, and said, "You are his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know where he is from." The man answered and said to them, "Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that you don't know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes. Now we know that God doesn't hear sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one who was born blind. If this man weren't of God, he could do nothing." They answered and said to him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" And they drove him out. ¶ Jesus heard that they had driven him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, "Do you believe on the Son of God?" He answered and said, "Who is he, Lord, so I might believe on him?" And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who talks with you." And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped him. ¶ And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world so they who don't see might see; and they who see might be made blind." And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, "Are we blind also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains." "Truly, truly, I say to you, He who doesn't enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice. And they won't follow a stranger, but will flee from him: because they don't know the voice of strangers." This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they didn't understand what things they were which he spoke to them. Then said Jesus to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All as many as came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep didn't hear them. I am the door: if any man enters by me, he'll be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture. The thief doesn't come, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I came for them to have life and have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd sets his soul for the sheep. But he who is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and himself doesn't care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine. As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my soul for the sheep. And other sheep I have, who are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they'll hear my voice; and there'll be one fold, and one shepherd. My Father loves me, because I lay down my soul to take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." ¶ So there was a division again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said, "He has a devil, and is mad; why do you hear him?" Others said, "These are not the words of him who has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?"
¶ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, "How long do you make us to doubt? If you're the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you didn't believe: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give to them eternal life; and they'll never perish, neither shall any man snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, "Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?" The Jews answered him, saying, "For a good work we don't stone you; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God." Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, I said, You are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture can't be broken; Do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I don't the works of my Father, don't believe me, But if I do, though you don't believe me, believe the works: so you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him." So they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, and he went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. And many resorted to him, and said, "John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true." And many believed on him there.
¶ Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) So his sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, he whom you love is sick." When Jesus heard that, he said, "This sickness isn't to death, but for the glory of God so the Son of God might be glorified thereby." Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. So when he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that says he to his disciples, "Let's go into Judea again." His disciples say to him, "Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and do you go there again?" Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours in the day? If any man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him." These things said he: and after that he says to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to awake him out of sleep." Then said his disciples, "Lord, if he sleeps, he'll do well." Nevertheless Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I wasn't there, so that you may believe; nevertheless let's go to him." Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellowdisciples, "Let us also go to die with him." ¶ Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about 3 kilometers off: and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha to Jesus, "Lord, if you'd been here, my brother hadn't died. But I know, that even now, whatever you ask of God, God will give it you." Jesus says to her, "Your brother shall rise again." Martha says to him, "I know that he'll rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" She says to him, "Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who come into the world." And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The Master has come, and calls for you." As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him. Now Jesus wasn't yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, "She goes to the grave to weep there." Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you'd been here, my brother hadn't died." So when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, "Look, how he loved him!" And some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man have not died?" So Jesus again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, says to him, "Lord, by this time he stinks: since he has been dead four days." Jesus says to her, "Didn't I say to you, that, if you'd believe, you'd see the glory of God?" Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people who stand by I said it, so they may believe that you have sent me." And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." And he who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus says to them, "Loose him, and let him go." Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed on him. But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. ¶ Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, "What do we do? since this man does many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation." And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, nor consider that it's expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and the whole nation not perish." And he didn't speak this of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; and not for that nation only, but so he should gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. Then they took counsel together to kill him from that day on. So Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but went from there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
¶ And the Jews' passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think, that he won't come to the feast?" Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he show it, so they might take him. ¶ Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them who sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who betray him, "Why wasn't this ointment sold for twenty thousand dollars, and given to the poor?" He didn't say this because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and carried what was put in it. Then said Jesus, "Let her alone: In preparation for the day of my burying has she kept this. The poor always you have with you; but me you don't have always." And many people of the Jews knew that he was there: and they didn't come for Jesus's sake only, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. ¶ But the chief priests consulted to kill Lazarus also; because by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. ¶ On the next day many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, "Save now: Blessed is the King of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord." And Yeshua, when he had found a young ass, sat on it; as it is written, 'Don't fear, daughter of Sion: look, your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt.' These things didn't understand his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. The people that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore witness. For this cause the people also met him, since they heard that he had done this miracle. So the Pharisees said among themselves, "Do you perceive how you prevail nothing? look, the world has gone after him." ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them who came up to worship at the feast: The same came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Ieshua." Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Ieshua. ¶ And Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit. He who loves his life shall lose it; and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. If any man serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serves me, him will my Father honor. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour. Father, glorify your name." Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." So the people, who stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, "An angel spoke to him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice didn't come because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, if I'm lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me." This he said, signifying what death he should die. The people answered him, "We have heard out of the law that Messiah abides for ever: and how do you say, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?" Then Jesus said to them, "Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness can't come on you: he who walks in darkness doesn't know where he goes. While you have light, believe in the light, in order that you can be the children of light." These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them. ¶ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they didn't believe on him: so the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? They couldn't believe, because Isaiah said again, He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; so they not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, nor be converted, nor I heal them. These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ¶ Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess him, so they not be put out of the synagogue: They loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
¶ Jesus cried and said, "He who believes on me, doesn't believe on me, but on him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me. I've come a light into the world, so that whoever believes on me not abide in darkness. And if any man hears my words, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him: I didn't come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: and whatever I speak, even as the Father said to me, so I speak."
¶ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goes to God; He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he pours water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. Then comes he to Simon Peter: and Peter says to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you don't know now; but you'll know after these." Peter says to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me." Simon Peter says to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." Jesus says to him, "He who is washed doesn't need except to wash his feet, but is clean every bit: and you are clean, but not all." He knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and had sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you an example so that you do as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, happy are you if you do them. ¶ I don't speak of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but so the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, so that, when it is come to pass, you may believe that I am he. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me." When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray me." Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. Now there was leaning on Jesus's bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. So Simon Peter beckoned to him, so that he ask who it should be of whom he spoke. He then lying on Jesus's breast says to him, "Lord, who is it?" Jesus answered, "He it is, to whom I'll give a sop, when I've dipped it." And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered him. Then said Jesus to him, "What you do, do quickly." Now no man at the table knew for what intention he spoke this to him. Some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy what we have need of in preparation for the feast; or, so he give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. ¶ Therefore, when he had gone out, Ieshua said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him at once. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You'll seek me: and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you can't come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another." ¶ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where do you go?" Jesus answered him, "Where I go, you can't follow me now; but you'll follow me afterwards." Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I'll lay down my life for your sake." Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The rooster shall not crow, till you have denied me thrice." "Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house is plenty of room: if it weren't so, I'd have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I'll come again, and receive you to myself; so that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know." Thomas says to him, "Lord, we don't know where you go; and how can we know the way?" Jesus says to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and you know him, and have seen him from now on." Philip says to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us." Jesus says to him, "Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say then, Show us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you I don't speak of myself: but the Father who lives in me, he does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on me, the works that I do he'll do also; and greater works than these he'll do; because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask any thing in my name, I'll do it. ¶ If you love me, keep my commandments. And I'll pray the Father, and he'll give you another Comforter, so he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world can't receive, because it doesn't see him, neither knows him: but you know him; because he lives with you, and will be in you. I won't leave you comfortless: I'll come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you'll live also. At that day you'll know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He who has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me: and he who loves me will be loved of my Father, and I'll love him, and will manifest myself to him." Judas says to him, not Iscariot, "Lord, how is it that you are going to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, "If a man love me, he'll keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we'll come to him, and make our abode with him. He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my sayings: and the word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me. These things have I spoken to you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he'll teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: since my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, so that, when it is come to pass, you might believe. I will not talk much with you from now on: the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me. But so that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let's go from here."
¶ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, so it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you. Live in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit of itself, if it doesn't live in the vine; no more can you, if you don't live in me. I am the vine, you are the branches: He who lives in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: because without me you can do nothing. If a man don't live in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and has withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you live in me, and my words live in you, you'll ask what you wish, and it'll be done to you. Herein is my Father glorified, so that you bear much fruit; so will you be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: you continue in my love. If you keep my commandments, you'll abide in my love; just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken to you, so that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. I no longer call you servants; since the servant doesn't know what his lord does: but I have called you friends; because I have made known to you everything that I have heard of my Father. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, so that you go and bring forth fruit, and your fruit remain: so whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you so you love one another. If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I've chosen you out of the world. Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they'll also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they'll keep yours also. But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this comes to pass, so that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law,'They hated me without a cause.' But when the Comforter has come, whom I'll send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he'll testify of me: And you also bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning. These things have I spoken to you so you not be offended. They'll put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, so whoever kills you will think that he does God service. And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you so when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I didn't say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. But now I go my way to him who sent me; and none of you asks me, Where do you go? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: if I don't go away, the Comforter won't come to you; but if I depart, I'll send him to you. And when he has come, he'll reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they don't believe on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but you can't bear them now. Nevertheless when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he'll guide you into all truth: he won't speak of himself; but he'll speak whatever he hears: and he'll show you things to come. He'll glorify me: since he'll receive of mine, and will show it to you. All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he'll take of mine, and will show it to you. A little while, and you shan't see me: and again, a little while, and you'll see me, because I go to the Father." Then said some of his disciples among themselves, "What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you don't see me: and again, a little while, and you'll see me: and, Because I go to the Father? So they said, "What is this that he says, A little while? we can't tell what he says." Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and you don't see me: and again, a little while, and you'll see me? Truly, truly, I say to you, that you'll weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you'll be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And so you now have sorrow: but I'll see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you. And in that day you'll ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he'll give it you. To now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you'll receive so your joy may be full. These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I'll no more speak to you in proverbs, but I'll show you plainly of the Father. At that day you'll ask in my name: and I don't say to you, that I will pray the Father for you: The Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came out of the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." His disciples said to him, "Look, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb. Now are we sure that you know all things, and don't need any man to ask you: by this we believe that you came out of God." Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? Look, the hour comes, yes, has now come, so you'll be scattered, every man to his own, and will leave me alone: and yet I'm not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken to you so that in me you might have peace. In the world you'll have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so your Son also may glorify you: as you have given him power over all flesh so that he give eternal life to as many as you have given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Messiah, whom you have sent. I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do. And now, O Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was. I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word. Now they have known that whatever you have given me are of you. I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out of you, and they have believed that you did send me. I pray for them: I don't pray for the world, but for them whom you have given me; since they are yours. And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, so they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those whom you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; so the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world so that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I've given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I don't pray you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who'll believe on me through their word; so they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, so they also may be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given them; so they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and you in me, so they may be made perfect in one; and so the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; so they may see my glory, which you have given me: since you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: so the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them." When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, there he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: since Jesus often resorted there with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. So Jesus, knowing all things that should come on him, went out, and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus says to them, "I am he." And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am he: so if you seek me, let these go their way:" so the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them whom you gave me have I lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Then said Jesus to Peter, "Put up your sword into the sheath: Shan't I drink the cup which my Father has given me?" Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man die for the people. ¶ And Simon Peter followed Yeshua, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door outside. Then went out that other disciple, who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the girl who kept the door to Peter, "Aren't you also one of this man's disciples?" He says, "I am not." And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; since it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. ¶ The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why do you ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: look, they know what I said." And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest so?" Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why do you strike me?" Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. ¶ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. So they said to him, "Aren't you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, "I am not." One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?" Peter then denied again: and immediately the rooster crowed. ¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves didn't go into the judgment hall so they not be defiled but eat the passover. Pilate then went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" They answered and said to him, "If he weren't an evil doer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you." Then said Pilate to them, "Take him, and judge him according to your law." The Jews therefore said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:" so the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die. ¶ Then Pilate entered the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "Do you say this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me: what have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight so I not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from here." So Pilate said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world so that I bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice." Pilate says to him, "What is truth?" ¶ And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find in him no fault at all. But you have a custom, so that I release to you one at the passover: so do you wish that I release to you the King of the Jews?" Then cried they all again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber. So then Pilate took Jesus, and whipped him. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they struck him with their hands. So Pilate went out again, and says to them, "Look, I bring him out to you so you may know that I find no fault in him." Then came Jesus out, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate says to them, "Look, the man!" So when the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him." Pilate says to them, "You take him, and crucify him: I find no fault in him." The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God." ¶ So when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid; and went again into the judgment hall, and says to Ieshua, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. Then says Pilate to him, "Don't you speak to me? don't you know that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you?" Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against me, if it weren't given you from above: therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin." And Pilate sought to release him from that time on: but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¶ So when Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus out, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he says to the Jews, "Look, your King!" But they cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him." Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." So then delivered he him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went out into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. ¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: since the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Don't write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews." Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." ¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. So they said among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it'll be:" so the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my clothing among them, and for my clothing they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. So when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he says to his mother, "Woman, look, your son!" Then says he to the disciple, "Look, your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. ¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, "I thirst." Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth. So when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the Ghost. ¶ So the Jews, because it was the preparation, so that the bodies not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (that sabbath day was an high day,) asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they didn't break his legs: but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately came there out blood and water. And he who saw it bore witness, and his witness is true: and he knows that he says true, so you might believe. These things were done so the scripture be fulfilled, A bone of him shan't be broken. And again another scripture says, They'll look on him whom they pierced. ¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, implored Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. So he came, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 38kg weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which was never man yet laid. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jews' preparation day; since the sepulcher was near at hand.
¶ The first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulcher. Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him." And Peter went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the tomb. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet didn't he go in. Then comes Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and sees the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. As yet they didn't know the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own home. ¶ But Mary stood outside at the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, and sees two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say to her, "Woman, why do you weep?" She says to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him." And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus. Jesus says to her, "Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, says to him, "Sir, if you carried him from here, tell me where you laid him, and I'll take him away." Jesus says to her, "Mary." She turned herself, and says to him, "Rabboni;" which is to say, Master. Jesus says to her, "Don't touch me; I have not yet gone up to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I go up to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her. ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the middle, and says to them, "Peace be to you. And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, "Peace be to you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and says to them, "Receive the Holy Ghost: Whosever sins you remit, they are remitted to them; and whosever sins you retain, they are retained." ¶ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I won't believe."
¶ And after eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the middle, and said, "Peace be to you." Then says he to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and look at my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing." And Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God." Jesus says to him, "Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed."
¶ And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, so you might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and so believing you might have life through his name.
¶ After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and in this way showed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter says to them, "I go a fishing." They say to him, "We also go with you." They went out, and entered a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus says to them, "Children, do you have any food?" They answered him, "No." And he said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you'll find." So they threw, and now they weren't able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. And that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, "It's the Lord." Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat to him, (he was naked,) and did throw himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (they weren't far from land, but as it were 95 meters,) dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus says to them, "Bring of the fish which you have now caught." Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and though there were so many, yet wasn't the net broken. Jesus says to them, "Come and dine." And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then comes, and takes bread, and gives them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. ¶ So when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me more than these?" He says to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He says to him, "Feed my lambs." He says to him again the second time, "Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?" He says to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He says to him, "Feed my sheep." He says to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus says to him, "Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked where you would: but when you're old, you'll stretch out your hands, and another shall gird you, and carry you where you wouldn't." This spoke he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he says to him, "Follow me." Then Peter, turning about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he who betrays you? Peter seeing him says to Ieshua, "Lord, and what shall this man do?" Jesus says to him, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you? follow me." Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple shouldn't die: yet Jesus didn't say to him, He doesn't die; but, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself couldn't contain the books that should be written. Amen.
¶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, so all men might believe through him. He wasn't that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
¶ That was the true Light, who lights every man who comes into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world didn't know him. He came to his own, and his own didn't receive him. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and lived among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ¶ John bore witness of him, and cried, saying, "This was he of whom I spoke, He who comes after me is preferred before me: because he was before me." ¶ And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. Since the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Messiah Jesus. No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
¶ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" And he confessed, and didn't deny; but confessed, "I am not Messiah." And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elias?" And he says, "I am not." "Are you that prophet?" And he answered, "No." Then said they to him, "Who are you? so that we may give an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?" He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah." And they who were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said to him, "Why do you baptize then, if you are not that Messiah, nor Elias, neither that prophet?" John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom you don't know; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose." These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
¶ The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is preferred before me: because he was before me. And I didn't know him: but I came baptizing in water so he be made manifest to Israel." And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he abode on him. And I didn't know him: but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, On whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bore witness that this is the Son of God." ¶ Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; and looking on Jesus as he walked, he says, "Look, the Lamb of God!" And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says to them, "What do you seek?" They said to him, "Rabbi,(which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where do you live?" He says to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, "We have found Messias," which is, being interpreted, Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus looked at him, he said, "You are Simon the son of Jona: You'll be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, A stone.
¶ The day following Jesus would go out into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." And Nathanael said to him, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip says to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, "Look, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" Nathanael says to him, "Where do you know me from?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Nathanael answered and says to him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree? You'll see greater things than these." And he says to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you'll see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man from now on."
¶ And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says to him, "They have no wine." Jesus says to her, "Woman, what do I have to do with you? my hour has not yet come." His mother says to the servants, "Do whatever he says to you." And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus says to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And they filled them up to the brim. And he says to them, "Draw out now, and carry to the governor of the feast." And they carried it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and didn't know where it was from: (but the servants who drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and says to him, "Every man at the beginning does set out good wine; and when men have well drunk, then what is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now." This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
¶ After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
¶ And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: and when he had made a whip of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; and said to them who sold doves, "Take these things out of here; don't make my Father's house a store." And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up. ¶ Then answered the Jews and said to him, "What sign do you show to us, seeing that you do these things?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I'll raise it up." Then said the Jews, "Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rear it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his body. So when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. ¶ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus didn't commit himself to them, because he knew all men, and didn't need any to testify of man: since he knew what was in man. ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: no man can do these miracles that you do, if God isn't with him." Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man isn't born again, he can't see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus says to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man isn't born of water and of the Spirit, he can't enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't wonder that I said to you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it likes, and you hear its sound, but can't tell where it comes from, and where it goes: so is every one who is born of the Spirit." Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you a master of Israel, and don't know these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you don't receive our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and you don't believe, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man has gone up to heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven. ¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of man must be lifted up: so whoever believes in him not perish, but have eternal life. ¶ God so loved the world, so he gave his only begotten Son, so whoever believes in him not perish, but have everlasting life. God didn't send his Son into the world to condemn the world; but so the world through him might be saved. ¶ He who believes on him is not condemned: but he who doesn't believe is condemned already, because he hasn't believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. every one who does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, so his deeds not be reproved. But he who does truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be revealed, that they are worked in God."
¶ After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
¶ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. John was not yet cast into prison. ¶ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, look, the same baptizes, and all men come to him." John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, if it isn't given him from heaven. You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him. He who has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: so this my joy has been fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all: he who is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he who comes from heaven is above all. And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony. He who has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true. He whom God has sent speaks the words of God: God doesn't give the Spirit by measure to him. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He who believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he who doesn't believe the Son shan't see life; but the anger of God abides on him."
¶ So when the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (though Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples,) He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. And he has to go through Samaria. Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, "Give me to drink." (His disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.) Then says the woman of Samaria to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria?" The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water." The woman says to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then do you have that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: but whoever drinks of the water that I'll give him shall never thirst; but the water that I'll give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." The woman says to him, "Sir, give me this water, so I not be thirsty, nor come here to draw." Jesus says to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, I have no husband: You have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly." The woman says to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus says to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you'll neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you don't know: we worship what we know: since the salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: the Father seeks such to worship him. God is Spirit: and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." The woman says to him, "I know that Messias comes, who is called Christ: when he comes, he'll tell us all things." Jesus says to her, "I who speak to you am he." ¶ And on this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her? The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men, "Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: isn't this the Messiah?" Then they went out of the city, and came to him. ¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, "Master, eat." But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know of." So the disciples said one to another, "Has any man brought him anything to eat?" Jesus says to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work. Don't you say, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? look, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; since they are white already to harvest. And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps. I sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you have entered their labors." ¶ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the saying of the woman, who testified, "He told me all that ever I did." So when the Samaritans were come to him, they asked him that he would stay with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word; and said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your saying: we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world."
¶ Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee. Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country. Then when he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all what he did at Jerusalem at the feast: since they also went to the feast. So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and entreated him to come down, and heal his son: he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you won't believe." The nobleman says to him, "Sir, come down before my child die." Jesus says to him, "Go your way; your son lives." And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, "Your son lives." Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." So the father knew that it was at the same hour, when Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he had come out of Judea into Galilee.
¶ After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. An angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had. And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he says to him, "Do you wish to be made whole?" The impotent man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled: but while I am coming, another steps down before me." Jesus says to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. ¶ So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." He answered them, "He who made me whole, the same said to me, Take up your bed, and walk." Then asked they him, "What man is that who said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?" And he who was healed didn't know who it was: Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. ¶ Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, "Look, you are made whole: sin no more so a worse thing couldn't come to you." The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had made him whole. And the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. ¶ But Jesus answered them, "My Father works up to now, and I work." So the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: whatever he does, these also does the Son likewise. The Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he'll show him greater works than these so you may wonder. As the Father raises up the dead, and revives them; even so the Son revives whom he wishs. The Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son: so that all men honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who has sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears my word, and believes on him who sent me, has everlasting life, and doesn't come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God: and they who hear will live. As the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Don't wonder at this: the hour is coming, when all who are in the graves will hear his voice, and will come out; they who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. I can do nothing of my own self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. ¶ There is another who bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true. You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth. But I don't receive testimony from man: but these things I say for you to be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a season. ¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me. And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And you don't have his word abiding in you: since whom he has sent, him you don't believe. ¶ Search the scriptures; since in them you think you have eternal life: and they are what testify of me. And you don't wish to come to me so that you might have life. I don't receive honor from men. But I know you, that you don't have the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me: if another comes in his own name, him you'll receive. How can you believe, who receive honor one of another, and don't seek the honor that comes from God only? Don't think that I'll accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust. You had believed Moses, you would have believed me: he wrote of me. But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
¶ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great crowd followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them who were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. ¶ When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he says to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these to eat?" And this he said to prove him: he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Fourteen thousand dollars' worth of bread is not sufficient for them so that every one of them may take a little." One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him, "There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?" And Jesus said, "Make the men sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them who were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they wanted. When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain so nothing be lost." So they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them who had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, "This is of a truth that prophet who come into the world." ¶ So when Jesus perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea, and entered a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about 5km, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid. But he says to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land where they went. ¶ The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus didn't go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone; (Nevertheless there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they did eat bread after the Lord gave thanks:) so when the people saw that Jesus wasn't there, neither his disciples, they also got into boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Don't labor for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures into everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you: God the Father has sealed him." Then said they to him, "What shall we do to do the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent." So they said to him, "What sign do you show then, so that we may see, and believe you? what do you work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses didn't give you that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. The bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world." Then said they to him, "Lord, give us this bread always." And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life: he who comes to me shall never hunger; and he who believes on me shall never thirst. But I said to you, that you also have seen me, and don't believe. All whom the Father gives me shall come to me; and him who comes to me I'll in no way cast out. I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the Father's will who has sent me, that of all whom he has given me I lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him who sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I'll raise him up at the last day." The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?" So Jesus answered and said to them, "Don't murmur among yourselves. No man can come to me, if the Father who has sent me doesn't draw him: and I'll raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they'll be all taught of God. So every man who has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me. Not that any man has seen the Father, but he who is of God, he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on me has everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven so a man may eat of it, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eats of this bread, he'll live forever: and the bread that I'll give is my flesh, which I'll give for the life of the world." So the Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I'll raise him up at the last day. My flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, lives in me, and I in him. As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father: so he who eats me, even he'll live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he who eats of this bread shall live forever." These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. And many of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is an hard saying; who can hear it?" When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, "Does this offend you? What and if you see the Son of man go up where he was before? It is the spirit that revives; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who don't believe." Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who should betray him. And he said, "Therefore said I to you, that no man can come to me, if it weren't given to him of my Father." ¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus to the twelve, "Will you also go away?" Then Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that you are that Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered them, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: it was he who betray him, being one of the twelve.
¶ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: he didn't want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. So his brethren said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea so that your disciples also may see the works that you do. There is no man who does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world." Neither did his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come: but your time is always ready. The world can't hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil. You go up to this feast: I don't go up yet to this feast; because my time has not yet full come." When he had said these words to them, he remained still in Galilee.
¶ But when his brethren had gone up, then went he also up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?" And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: some said, "He is a good man:" others said, "No; but he deceives the people." Nevertheless no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. ¶ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never learned?" Ieshua answered them, and said, "My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. If any man wills to do his will, he'll know of the doctrine, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself. He who speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he who seeks his glory who sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet does none of you keep the law? Why do you go about to kill me?" The people answered and said, "You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?" Jesus answered and said to them, "I have done one work, and you all wonder. Moses gave to you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision so the law of Moses not be broken; are you angry at me, because I have made a man every bit whole on the sabbath day? Don't judge according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." Then said some of them of Jerusalem, "Isn't this he, whom they seek to kill? But, look, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Nevertheless we know this man where he is from: but when Messiah comes, no man knows where he is from." Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, "You both know me, and you know where I am from: and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know. But I know him: since I am from him, and he has sent me." Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, "When Messiah comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?" ¶ The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. Then said Jesus to them, "Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him who sent me. You'll seek me, and won't find me: and where I am, there you can't come." Then said the Jews among themselves, "Where does he intend to go, that we cannot find him? will he go to the scattered among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that he said, You'll seek me, and won't find me: and where I am, you can't come?" ¶ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirsts, let him come to me, and drink. He who believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (But this spoke he of the Spirit, whom they who believe on him should receive: since the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.) ¶ And many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet." Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some said, "Will Messiah come out of Galilee? Hasn't the scripture said that Messiah comes of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?" So there was a division among the people because of him. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. ¶ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, "Why have you not brought him?" The officers answered, "Never man spoke like this man." Then answered them the Pharisees, "Are you also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who doesn't know the law are cursed." Nicodemus says to them, (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) "Does our law judge any man, before it hears him, and knows what he does?" They answered and said to him, "Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: since out of Galilee arises no prophet." And every man went to his own house. ¶ Jesus went to the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle, they say to him, "Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such be stoned: but what do you say?" This they said, testing him, so they might have something to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he didn't hear them. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, "Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?" She said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more." ¶ Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he who follows me won't walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." So the Pharisees said to him, "You bear witness of yourself; your witness is not true." Jesus answered and said to them, "Though I bear witness of myself, yet my witness is true: because I know where I came from, and where I go; but you can't tell where I come from, and where I go. You judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me." Then said they to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You neither know me, nor my Father: if you'd known me, you'd have known my Father, too." These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; since his hour hadn't yet come. Then said Jesus again to them, "I go my way, and you'll seek me, and will die in your sins: where I go, you can't come." Then said the Jews, "Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, you can't come." And he said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world. So I said to you, that you'll die in your sins: if you don't believe that I am he, you'll die in your sins." Then said they to him, "Who are you?" And Jesus says to them, "Even the same whom I said to you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world what I have heard of him." They didn't understand that he spoke to them of the Father. Then said Jesus to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you'll know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. And he who sent me is with me: the Father hasn't left me alone; because I do always what please him." As he spoke these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, "If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you'll know the truth, and the truth will make you free." ¶ They answered him, "We're Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how do you say, You'll be made free?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant doesn't abide in the house forever: but the Son abides ever. So if the Son makes you free, you'll be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my Father: and you do what you have seen with your father." They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus says to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this didn't Abraham. You do the deeds of your father." Then said they to him, "We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God." Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me: I proceeded out of God and came; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why don't you understand my speech? even because you can't hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and didn't abide in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: since he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me. Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why don't you believe me? He who is of God hears God's words: you don't hear them, because you are not of God." Then answered the Jews, and said to him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?" Jesus answered, "I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me. And I don't seek my own glory: there is one who seeks and judges. Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps my saying, he'll never see death." Then said the Jews to him, "Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my saying, he'll never taste of death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom do you make yourself?" Jesus answered, "If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father who honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God: Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I don't know him, I'll be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad." Then said the Jews to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am." Then took they up stones to throw at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by. ¶ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, "Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, so he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but so the works of God be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam," (which is by interpretation, Sent.) So he went his way, and washed, and came seeing. ¶ So the neighbors, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?" Some said, "This is he:" others said, "He is like him:" but he said, "I am he." So they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" He answered and said, "A man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight." Then said they to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know." ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him who formerly was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see." And some of the Pharisees said, "This man isn't of God, because he doesn't keep the sabbath day." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles?" And there was a division among them. They say to the blind man again, "What do you say of him, that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." But the Jews didn't believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?" His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: but by what means he now sees, we don't know; or who has opened his eyes, we don't know: he is of age; ask him: he'll speak for himself." These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews: since the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Messiah, he be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. Then again called they the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner." He answered and said, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." Then said they to him again, "What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes?" He answered them, "I have told you already, and you didn't hear: why would you hear it again? do you also wish to be his disciples?" Then they reviled him, and said, "You are his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know where he is from." The man answered and said to them, "Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that you don't know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes. Now we know that God doesn't hear sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one who was born blind. If this man weren't of God, he could do nothing." They answered and said to him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" And they drove him out. ¶ Jesus heard that they had driven him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, "Do you believe on the Son of God?" He answered and said, "Who is he, Lord, so I might believe on him?" And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who talks with you." And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped him. ¶ And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world so they who don't see might see; and they who see might be made blind." And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, "Are we blind also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains." "Truly, truly, I say to you, He who doesn't enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice. And they won't follow a stranger, but will flee from him: because they don't know the voice of strangers." This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they didn't understand what things they were which he spoke to them. Then said Jesus to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All as many as came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep didn't hear them. I am the door: if any man enters by me, he'll be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture. The thief doesn't come, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I came for them to have life and have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd sets his soul for the sheep. But he who is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and himself doesn't care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine. As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my soul for the sheep. And other sheep I have, who are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they'll hear my voice; and there'll be one fold, and one shepherd. My Father loves me, because I lay down my soul to take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." ¶ So there was a division again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said, "He has a devil, and is mad; why do you hear him?" Others said, "These are not the words of him who has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?"
¶ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, "How long do you make us to doubt? If you're the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you didn't believe: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give to them eternal life; and they'll never perish, neither shall any man snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, "Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?" The Jews answered him, saying, "For a good work we don't stone you; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God." Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, I said, You are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture can't be broken; Do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I don't the works of my Father, don't believe me, But if I do, though you don't believe me, believe the works: so you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him." So they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, and he went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. And many resorted to him, and said, "John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true." And many believed on him there.
¶ Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) So his sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, he whom you love is sick." When Jesus heard that, he said, "This sickness isn't to death, but for the glory of God so the Son of God might be glorified thereby." Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. So when he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that says he to his disciples, "Let's go into Judea again." His disciples say to him, "Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and do you go there again?" Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours in the day? If any man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him." These things said he: and after that he says to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to awake him out of sleep." Then said his disciples, "Lord, if he sleeps, he'll do well." Nevertheless Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I wasn't there, so that you may believe; nevertheless let's go to him." Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellowdisciples, "Let us also go to die with him." ¶ Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about 3 kilometers off: and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha to Jesus, "Lord, if you'd been here, my brother hadn't died. But I know, that even now, whatever you ask of God, God will give it you." Jesus says to her, "Your brother shall rise again." Martha says to him, "I know that he'll rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" She says to him, "Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who come into the world." And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The Master has come, and calls for you." As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him. Now Jesus wasn't yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, "She goes to the grave to weep there." Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you'd been here, my brother hadn't died." So when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, "Look, how he loved him!" And some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man have not died?" So Jesus again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, says to him, "Lord, by this time he stinks: since he has been dead four days." Jesus says to her, "Didn't I say to you, that, if you'd believe, you'd see the glory of God?" Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people who stand by I said it, so they may believe that you have sent me." And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." And he who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus says to them, "Loose him, and let him go." Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed on him. But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. ¶ Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, "What do we do? since this man does many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation." And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, nor consider that it's expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and the whole nation not perish." And he didn't speak this of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; and not for that nation only, but so he should gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. Then they took counsel together to kill him from that day on. So Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but went from there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
¶ And the Jews' passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think, that he won't come to the feast?" Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he show it, so they might take him. ¶ Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them who sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who betray him, "Why wasn't this ointment sold for twenty thousand dollars, and given to the poor?" He didn't say this because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and carried what was put in it. Then said Jesus, "Let her alone: In preparation for the day of my burying has she kept this. The poor always you have with you; but me you don't have always." And many people of the Jews knew that he was there: and they didn't come for Jesus's sake only, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. ¶ But the chief priests consulted to kill Lazarus also; because by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. ¶ On the next day many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, "Save now: Blessed is the King of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord." And Yeshua, when he had found a young ass, sat on it; as it is written, 'Don't fear, daughter of Sion: look, your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt.' These things didn't understand his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. The people that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore witness. For this cause the people also met him, since they heard that he had done this miracle. So the Pharisees said among themselves, "Do you perceive how you prevail nothing? look, the world has gone after him." ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them who came up to worship at the feast: The same came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Ieshua." Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Ieshua. ¶ And Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit. He who loves his life shall lose it; and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. If any man serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serves me, him will my Father honor. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour. Father, glorify your name." Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." So the people, who stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, "An angel spoke to him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice didn't come because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, if I'm lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me." This he said, signifying what death he should die. The people answered him, "We have heard out of the law that Messiah abides for ever: and how do you say, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?" Then Jesus said to them, "Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness can't come on you: he who walks in darkness doesn't know where he goes. While you have light, believe in the light, in order that you can be the children of light." These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them. ¶ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they didn't believe on him: so the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? They couldn't believe, because Isaiah said again, He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; so they not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, nor be converted, nor I heal them. These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ¶ Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess him, so they not be put out of the synagogue: They loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
¶ Jesus cried and said, "He who believes on me, doesn't believe on me, but on him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me. I've come a light into the world, so that whoever believes on me not abide in darkness. And if any man hears my words, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him: I didn't come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: and whatever I speak, even as the Father said to me, so I speak."
¶ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goes to God; He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he pours water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. Then comes he to Simon Peter: and Peter says to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you don't know now; but you'll know after these." Peter says to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me." Simon Peter says to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." Jesus says to him, "He who is washed doesn't need except to wash his feet, but is clean every bit: and you are clean, but not all." He knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and had sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you an example so that you do as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, happy are you if you do them. ¶ I don't speak of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but so the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, so that, when it is come to pass, you may believe that I am he. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me." When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray me." Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. Now there was leaning on Jesus's bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. So Simon Peter beckoned to him, so that he ask who it should be of whom he spoke. He then lying on Jesus's breast says to him, "Lord, who is it?" Jesus answered, "He it is, to whom I'll give a sop, when I've dipped it." And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered him. Then said Jesus to him, "What you do, do quickly." Now no man at the table knew for what intention he spoke this to him. Some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy what we have need of in preparation for the feast; or, so he give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. ¶ Therefore, when he had gone out, Ieshua said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him at once. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You'll seek me: and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you can't come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another." ¶ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where do you go?" Jesus answered him, "Where I go, you can't follow me now; but you'll follow me afterwards." Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I'll lay down my life for your sake." Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The rooster shall not crow, till you have denied me thrice." "Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house is plenty of room: if it weren't so, I'd have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I'll come again, and receive you to myself; so that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know." Thomas says to him, "Lord, we don't know where you go; and how can we know the way?" Jesus says to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and you know him, and have seen him from now on." Philip says to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us." Jesus says to him, "Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say then, Show us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you I don't speak of myself: but the Father who lives in me, he does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on me, the works that I do he'll do also; and greater works than these he'll do; because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask any thing in my name, I'll do it. ¶ If you love me, keep my commandments. And I'll pray the Father, and he'll give you another Comforter, so he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world can't receive, because it doesn't see him, neither knows him: but you know him; because he lives with you, and will be in you. I won't leave you comfortless: I'll come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you'll live also. At that day you'll know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He who has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me: and he who loves me will be loved of my Father, and I'll love him, and will manifest myself to him." Judas says to him, not Iscariot, "Lord, how is it that you are going to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, "If a man love me, he'll keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we'll come to him, and make our abode with him. He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my sayings: and the word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me. These things have I spoken to you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he'll teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: since my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, so that, when it is come to pass, you might believe. I will not talk much with you from now on: the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me. But so that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let's go from here."
¶ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, so it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you. Live in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit of itself, if it doesn't live in the vine; no more can you, if you don't live in me. I am the vine, you are the branches: He who lives in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: because without me you can do nothing. If a man don't live in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and has withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you live in me, and my words live in you, you'll ask what you wish, and it'll be done to you. Herein is my Father glorified, so that you bear much fruit; so will you be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: you continue in my love. If you keep my commandments, you'll abide in my love; just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken to you, so that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. I no longer call you servants; since the servant doesn't know what his lord does: but I have called you friends; because I have made known to you everything that I have heard of my Father. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, so that you go and bring forth fruit, and your fruit remain: so whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you so you love one another. If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I've chosen you out of the world. Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they'll also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they'll keep yours also. But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this comes to pass, so that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law,'They hated me without a cause.' But when the Comforter has come, whom I'll send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he'll testify of me: And you also bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning. These things have I spoken to you so you not be offended. They'll put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, so whoever kills you will think that he does God service. And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you so when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I didn't say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. But now I go my way to him who sent me; and none of you asks me, Where do you go? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: if I don't go away, the Comforter won't come to you; but if I depart, I'll send him to you. And when he has come, he'll reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they don't believe on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but you can't bear them now. Nevertheless when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he'll guide you into all truth: he won't speak of himself; but he'll speak whatever he hears: and he'll show you things to come. He'll glorify me: since he'll receive of mine, and will show it to you. All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he'll take of mine, and will show it to you. A little while, and you shan't see me: and again, a little while, and you'll see me, because I go to the Father." Then said some of his disciples among themselves, "What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you don't see me: and again, a little while, and you'll see me: and, Because I go to the Father? So they said, "What is this that he says, A little while? we can't tell what he says." Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and you don't see me: and again, a little while, and you'll see me? Truly, truly, I say to you, that you'll weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you'll be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And so you now have sorrow: but I'll see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you. And in that day you'll ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he'll give it you. To now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you'll receive so your joy may be full. These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I'll no more speak to you in proverbs, but I'll show you plainly of the Father. At that day you'll ask in my name: and I don't say to you, that I will pray the Father for you: The Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came out of the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." His disciples said to him, "Look, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb. Now are we sure that you know all things, and don't need any man to ask you: by this we believe that you came out of God." Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? Look, the hour comes, yes, has now come, so you'll be scattered, every man to his own, and will leave me alone: and yet I'm not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken to you so that in me you might have peace. In the world you'll have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so your Son also may glorify you: as you have given him power over all flesh so that he give eternal life to as many as you have given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Messiah, whom you have sent. I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do. And now, O Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was. I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word. Now they have known that whatever you have given me are of you. I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out of you, and they have believed that you did send me. I pray for them: I don't pray for the world, but for them whom you have given me; since they are yours. And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, so they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those whom you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; so the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world so that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I've given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I don't pray you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who'll believe on me through their word; so they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, so they also may be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given them; so they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and you in me, so they may be made perfect in one; and so the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; so they may see my glory, which you have given me: since you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: so the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them." When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, there he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: since Jesus often resorted there with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. So Jesus, knowing all things that should come on him, went out, and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus says to them, "I am he." And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am he: so if you seek me, let these go their way:" so the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them whom you gave me have I lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Then said Jesus to Peter, "Put up your sword into the sheath: Shan't I drink the cup which my Father has given me?" Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man die for the people. ¶ And Simon Peter followed Yeshua, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door outside. Then went out that other disciple, who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the girl who kept the door to Peter, "Aren't you also one of this man's disciples?" He says, "I am not." And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; since it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. ¶ The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why do you ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: look, they know what I said." And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest so?" Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why do you strike me?" Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. ¶ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. So they said to him, "Aren't you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, "I am not." One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?" Peter then denied again: and immediately the rooster crowed. ¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves didn't go into the judgment hall so they not be defiled but eat the passover. Pilate then went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" They answered and said to him, "If he weren't an evil doer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you." Then said Pilate to them, "Take him, and judge him according to your law." The Jews therefore said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:" so the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die. ¶ Then Pilate entered the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "Do you say this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me: what have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight so I not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from here." So Pilate said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world so that I bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice." Pilate says to him, "What is truth?" ¶ And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find in him no fault at all. But you have a custom, so that I release to you one at the passover: so do you wish that I release to you the King of the Jews?" Then cried they all again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber. So then Pilate took Jesus, and whipped him. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they struck him with their hands. So Pilate went out again, and says to them, "Look, I bring him out to you so you may know that I find no fault in him." Then came Jesus out, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate says to them, "Look, the man!" So when the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him." Pilate says to them, "You take him, and crucify him: I find no fault in him." The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God." ¶ So when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid; and went again into the judgment hall, and says to Ieshua, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. Then says Pilate to him, "Don't you speak to me? don't you know that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you?" Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against me, if it weren't given you from above: therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin." And Pilate sought to release him from that time on: but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¶ So when Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus out, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he says to the Jews, "Look, your King!" But they cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him." Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." So then delivered he him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went out into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. ¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: since the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Don't write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews." Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." ¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. So they said among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it'll be:" so the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my clothing among them, and for my clothing they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. So when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he says to his mother, "Woman, look, your son!" Then says he to the disciple, "Look, your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. ¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, "I thirst." Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth. So when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the Ghost. ¶ So the Jews, because it was the preparation, so that the bodies not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (that sabbath day was an high day,) asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they didn't break his legs: but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately came there out blood and water. And he who saw it bore witness, and his witness is true: and he knows that he says true, so you might believe. These things were done so the scripture be fulfilled, A bone of him shan't be broken. And again another scripture says, They'll look on him whom they pierced. ¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, implored Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. So he came, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 38kg weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which was never man yet laid. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jews' preparation day; since the sepulcher was near at hand.
¶ The first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulcher. Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him." And Peter went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the tomb. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet didn't he go in. Then comes Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and sees the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. As yet they didn't know the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own home. ¶ But Mary stood outside at the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, and sees two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say to her, "Woman, why do you weep?" She says to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him." And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus. Jesus says to her, "Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, says to him, "Sir, if you carried him from here, tell me where you laid him, and I'll take him away." Jesus says to her, "Mary." She turned herself, and says to him, "Rabboni;" which is to say, Master. Jesus says to her, "Don't touch me; I have not yet gone up to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I go up to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her. ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the middle, and says to them, "Peace be to you. And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, "Peace be to you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and says to them, "Receive the Holy Ghost: Whosever sins you remit, they are remitted to them; and whosever sins you retain, they are retained." ¶ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I won't believe."
¶ And after eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the middle, and said, "Peace be to you." Then says he to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and look at my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing." And Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God." Jesus says to him, "Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed."
¶ And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, so you might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and so believing you might have life through his name.
¶ After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and in this way showed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter says to them, "I go a fishing." They say to him, "We also go with you." They went out, and entered a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus says to them, "Children, do you have any food?" They answered him, "No." And he said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you'll find." So they threw, and now they weren't able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. And that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, "It's the Lord." Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat to him, (he was naked,) and did throw himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (they weren't far from land, but as it were 95 meters,) dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus says to them, "Bring of the fish which you have now caught." Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and though there were so many, yet wasn't the net broken. Jesus says to them, "Come and dine." And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then comes, and takes bread, and gives them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. ¶ So when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me more than these?" He says to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He says to him, "Feed my lambs." He says to him again the second time, "Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?" He says to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He says to him, "Feed my sheep." He says to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus says to him, "Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked where you would: but when you're old, you'll stretch out your hands, and another shall gird you, and carry you where you wouldn't." This spoke he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he says to him, "Follow me." Then Peter, turning about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he who betrays you? Peter seeing him says to Ieshua, "Lord, and what shall this man do?" Jesus says to him, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you? follow me." Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple shouldn't die: yet Jesus didn't say to him, He doesn't die; but, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself couldn't contain the books that should be written. Amen.
