John 4:40-17:26 So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days. ⁴¹ And many more believed because of his own word; ⁴² and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah. ⁴³ Then after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. ⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. ⁴⁵ When therefore he was come into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things which he did at the feast: for they also had gone to the feast. ⁴⁶ Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸ Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe. ⁴⁹ The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead. ⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home. ⁵¹ And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered! ⁵² Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him. ⁵³ Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family. ⁵⁴ This is again a second miracle which Jesus did, when he came from Judea into Galilee. ⁵ ¹ AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ² Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos. ³ In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water. ⁴ For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured. ⁵ And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing. ⁶ Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound? ⁷ The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me. ⁸ Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. ⁹ And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath. ¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. ¹¹ He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. ¹² Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? ¹³ Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot. ¹⁴ After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee. ¹⁵ The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole. ¹⁶ And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. ¹⁸ Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God. ¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son. ²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder. ²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases. ²² For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son: ²³ in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation. ³⁰ I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. ³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. ³² There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me. ³³ Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. ³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe. ³⁵ He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light. ³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. ³⁷ And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form. ³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. ³⁹ Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰ And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. ⁴¹ I receive not glory from men. ⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. ⁴³ I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone? ⁴⁵ Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope. ⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words? ⁶ ¹ AFTER these things Jesus went beyond the sea of Galilee, that is of Tiberias. ² And a vast multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on those who were diseased. ³ Then Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat down with his disciple. ⁴ And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. ⁵ Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel. ⁸ One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,) ⁹ There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many? ¹⁰ Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. ¹² And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. ¹³ Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten. ¹⁴ When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world. ¹⁵ Then Jesus, knowing their intention to come and to seize him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the mountain by himself alone. ¹⁶ So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the sea-side, ¹⁷ and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. ¹⁸ And the sea was greatly agitated by a tempestuous wind that blew. ¹⁹ Having rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the vessel, and they were affrighted. ²⁰ But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid. ²¹ Then they desired to take him into the vessel: and instantly the vessel was at the land whither they were going. ²² The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone; ²³ (but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks:) ²⁴ then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus. ²⁵ And when they found him on the other side the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? ²⁶ Jesus replied to them and said, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. ²⁷ Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God. ²⁸ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? ²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent. ³⁰ Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work? ³¹ Our fathers did eat manna in the wilderness; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." ³² Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven. ³³ For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God. ³⁴ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. ³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more. ³⁶ But I have told you, That though ye have seen me, yet ye have not believed. ³⁷ Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out. ³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. ³⁹ Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴¹ Then the Jews murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. ⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came down from heaven? ⁴³ Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. ⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And "they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore who heareth from the Father, and learneth, cometh to me. ⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he that is with God, he hath seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are dead. ⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die. ⁵¹ I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity. ⁵⁹ These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it? ⁶¹ Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you? ⁶² What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly? ⁶³ The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father. ⁶⁶ From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about. ⁶⁷ Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away? ⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast the words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ And we have believed and known that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? ⁷¹ Now he spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this man was ready to betray him, though he was one of the twelve. ⁷ ¹ AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. ² And a feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles. ³ Then said his disciples to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest. ⁴ For no man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit thyself to the world. ⁵ For even his own brethren did not believe on him. ⁶ Jesus therefore saith to them, My proper time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil. ⁸ Go ye up to this feast: for I am not yet going up to this feast, because my fixed time is not yet arrived. ⁹ Thus speaking to them then, he continued in Galilee. ¹⁰ But as soon as his disciples were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public, but as in concealment. ¹¹ The Jews then sought for him at the feast, and said, Where is he? ¹² And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people. ¹³ Yet no person spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. ¹⁴ But now at the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. ¹⁵ And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man the scriptures, not being a scholar? ¹⁶ Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. ¹⁷ If any man will do his will, he shall know respecting the doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. ¹⁸ He that speaketh from himself, seeks his own individual honour: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and iniquity in him there is none. ¹⁹ Hath not Moses given you the law, yet none of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me? ²⁰ The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who is seeking to kill thee? ²¹ Jesus answered and said unto them, I have performed one work, and ye all marvel. ²² Because Moses ordered you circumcision; (not that it comes from Moses, but from our ancestors;) so ye circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. ²³ If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man whole on the sabbath-day? ²⁴ Judge not by appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ²⁵ Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill? ²⁶ And, lo! he speaketh openly, and they say not a word to him. Do the rulers certainly know that this man is really the Messiah? ²⁷ But we know this man whence he is: but when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. ²⁸ Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. ²⁹ But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. ³⁰ Then they sought to apprehend him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. ³¹ But many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater miracles than those which this man doth? ³² The Pharisees heard the people muttering these things respecting him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent officers to apprehend him. ³³ Then said Jesus unto them, A little while longer I am with you, and I am going to him that sent me. ³⁴ Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come. ³⁵ Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Grecians, and teach the Greeks? ³⁶ What is this saying which he hath spoken, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come? ³⁷ Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and spake aloud, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. ³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from his belly shall rivers flow of living water. ³⁹ (Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.) ⁴⁰ Many then of the multitude, when they heard this declaration, said, This man is certainly a prophet. ⁴¹ Others said, He is the Messiah. But others said, No: for cometh the Messiah out of Galilee? ⁴² Doth not the scripture say, That the Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from the town of Bethlehem, whence David originally was? ⁴³ There was a division therefore among the multitude on account of him. ⁴⁴ Now some of them were desirous to apprehend him; but no one laid hands upon him. ⁴⁵ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisee; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him? ⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never did man before speak in such a manner as this man. ⁴⁷ The Pharisees then replied to them, Are ye also deluded? ⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? ⁴⁹ But this rabble, which knoweth not the law, is accursed. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them, (the same person who came to him by night, being one of their body,) ⁵¹ Doth our law condemn a man, without first hearing his defence, and knowing what he hath done? ⁵² They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up. ⁵³ So each went to his own home. ⁸ ¹ THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives. ² But early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; and sitting down he taught them. ³ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the midst, ⁴ they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou? ⁶ But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground. ⁷ Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her. ⁸ And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰ Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? ¹¹ She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. ¹² Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. ¹³ The Pharisees said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going. ¹⁵ Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. ¹⁶ But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. ¹⁷ Now even in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸ I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me. ¹⁹ Then said they to him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also. ²⁰ These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come. ²¹ Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come. ²² The Jews said therefore, Will he kill himself? because he said, Whither I go, ye cannot come. ²³ And he said to them, Ye are from those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. ²⁴ I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins. ²⁵ They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Assuredly the same as I am telling you. ²⁶ I have many things to speak and to decide concerning you: but he that sent me is true; and the things which I have heard from him I speak to the world. ²⁷ They knew not that he spake to them of the Father. ²⁸ Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak. ²⁹ And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; because I always do the things acceptable to him. ³⁰ As he spake these words, many believed on him. ³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples; ³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ³³ They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free? ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin. ³⁵ But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son abideth for ever. ³⁶ If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be truly free. ³⁷ I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. ³⁸ I speak what I have seen with my Father: and ye do therefore what ye have seen with your father. ³⁹ They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so. ⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We are not born of whoredom; we have one Father, even God. ⁴² Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me. ⁴³ Wherefore do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word. ⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ But because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me? ⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God. ⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me. ⁵⁰ But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. ⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. ⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity. ⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: ⁵⁵ yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced. ⁵⁷ Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham? ⁵⁸ Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am. ⁵⁹ Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away. ⁹ ¹ AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth. ² And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ³ Jesus answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him. ⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ⁶ So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging? ⁹ Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he. ¹⁰ When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened? ¹¹ he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight. ¹² They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not. ¹³ They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind. ¹⁴ (Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.) ¹⁵ The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see. ¹⁶ Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet. ¹⁸ Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight. ¹⁹ And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see? ²⁰ His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: ²¹ but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it. ²² So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue. ²³ Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. ²⁴ The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. ²⁶ Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves? ²⁷ He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples? ²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. ²⁹ We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is. ³⁰ The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes. ³¹ Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth. ³² From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing. ³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. ³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God? ³⁶ The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him? ³⁷ Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person. ³⁸ Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him. ³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind. ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we blind also? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent. ¹⁰ ¹ VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but getteth in some other way, that person is a thief and a robber. ² He that entereth by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. ³ To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth. ⁴ And when he bringeth out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice. ⁵ And a stranger will they not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. ⁶ This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they knew nothing of the things which he spake to them. ⁷ Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not to them. ⁹ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. ¹¹ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. ¹² But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep. ¹³ Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd, and know my own [sheep], and am known of my own. ¹⁵ As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd. ¹⁷ Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. ¹⁸ No man taketh 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 I have received from my Father. ¹⁹ There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings. ²⁰ Then many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken to him? ²¹ Others said, These are not the discourses of a demoniac. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? ²² Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter. ²³ And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's portico. ²⁴ Then the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep our soul in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me. ²⁶ But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you. ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: ²⁸ and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and my Father are one. ³¹ Then the Jews again brought stones, in order to stone him. ³² Jesus said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to stone me? ³³ The Jews answered him, For a good work we do not stone thee; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being merely a man, makest thyself God. ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, "I said ye are gods?" ³⁵ If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; ³⁶ do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. ³⁹ Then sought they again to apprehend him and he departed out of their reach, ⁴⁰ and went again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptised; and there he abode. ⁴¹ And many came to him, and said, That John indeed performed no miracle: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true. ⁴² And many believed on him there. ¹¹ ¹ NOW there was a sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) ³ The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days. ⁷ But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea. ⁸ The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again? ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because he seeth the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with him. ¹¹ These things said he: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up. ¹² Then said his disciples, Lord, if he is asleep, he will recover. ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he spake of taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then Jesus therefore told them plainly, Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to him. ¹⁶ Then said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin,) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, that we may die with him. ¹⁷ Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: ¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat in the house. ²¹ And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²² But even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. ²³ Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴ Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise at the resurrection in the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ²⁶ and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this? ²⁷ She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world. ²⁸ So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, and calleth for thee. ²⁹ As soon as she heard it, she rose hastily, and came to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot where Martha had met him. ³¹ Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there. ³² When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died! ³³ When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated: ³⁴ and he said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him! ³⁷ But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died? ³⁸ Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it. ³⁹ Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days. ⁴⁰ Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me! ⁴² And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth! ⁴⁴ And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go! ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ Then one particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed. ⁵¹ And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed. ⁵³ Then from that day they consulted together how they might kill him. ⁵⁴ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he abode with his disciples. ⁵⁵ Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him. ¹² ¹ JESUS then before the days of the passover came to Bethany, where the deceased Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. ² Therefore they made him a supper there; and Martha waited: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with him. ³ Then Mary taking a pound of unadulterated balm of nard, very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. ⁴ Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was preparing to betray him, ⁵ Wherefore was not this aromatic ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ Now he said this, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and carried the money put therein. ⁷ Then said Jesus, Let her alone: for the day of my burial hath she reserved this. ⁸ For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. ⁹ Then the whole multitude of the Jews knew that he was there: and they came not for the sake of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the chief priests consulted how they might kill Lazarus also; ¹¹ because on his account many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. ¹² On the morrow a great multitude who came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took branches of palm, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord. ¹⁴ Then Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written, ¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on the foal of an ass." ¹⁶ These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. ¹⁷ Then the multitude that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore their testimony. ¹⁸ Therefore also the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this miracle. ¹⁹ Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone after him. ²⁰ Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast: ²¹ these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. ²³ Then Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it [thus] die, it beareth abundant produce. ²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. ²⁶ If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. ²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. ²⁹ The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your's. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out [of it]. ³² And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. ³³ And this he said, signifying by what death he should die. ³⁴ Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? ³⁵ Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going. ³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them. ³⁷ Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him: ³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. ⁴² However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues: ⁴³ for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God. ⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day. ⁴⁹ Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I. ¹³ ¹ NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come, that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end. ² And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him;) ³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and was going to God; ⁴ he rises from supper, and lays aside his garments, and taking a towel, he wound it about himself. ⁵ Then he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was begirt. ⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and he saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet: no, never. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed hath need only to wash his feet, for he is entirely clean: and ye are clean, but not all. ¹¹ (For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.) ¹² When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you? ¹³ Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye speak truly; for such I am. ¹⁴ If therefore I have washed your feet, though the Lord and the Master; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that just as I have done to you, ye should do also. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master; nor the messenger greater than him that sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye practise them. ¹⁸ I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me. ¹⁹ Now I tell you previously, before this comes to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe that I am. ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. ²¹ As Jesus was speaking these words, he was greatly agitated in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. ²² Then the disciples looked one at another, doubting of whom he spake. ²³ Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake. ²⁵ And he leaning on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, which is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel of bread, he gave it unto Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus saith to him, What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸ Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him. ²⁹ For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ Having then received the sop, he went out immediately: now it was night. ³¹ When therefore he was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him with himself, and immediately glorify him. ³³ My dear children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: as I said to the Jews, Whither I am going, ye cannot come; so say I now to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. ³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, Whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me hereafter. ³⁷ Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I tell thee, the cock will not crow, before thou shalt deny me thrice. ¹⁴ ¹ LET not your hearts be troubled: trust in God, and trust in me. ² In my Father's house are many mansions: and if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare you a place, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ⁴ And whither I am going ye know, and the way ye know. ⁵ Thomas saith to him, We know not whither thou art going; and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him. ⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Am I all this while with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: and at least believe me on account of the works themselves. ¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works which I do shall he do also; yea, and greater than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; because he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. ²⁰ In that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he is the person who loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not, doth not observe my sayings: and the word which ye are hearing is not mine, but of him that sent me. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, while I continue among you. ²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have spoken to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be agitated, nor shrink back through fear. ²⁸ Ye have heard that I told you, I am going away, though I am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I am going to the Father: because my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have informed you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. ³⁰ I shall not speak many things more with you: for the ruler of this world is coming, though in me he hath no part. ³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father hath given me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he pruneth it clean, that it may bring forth more fruit. ³ Ye are already clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine: so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, this person beareth much fruit: because without me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any man abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye should bring forth much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. ⁹ Just as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and as I abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another, just as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever things I command you. ¹⁵ I no more call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his master is doing: but I have called you friends because I have made known to you all things which I have heard of my Father. ¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spake unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my words, they will observe your's also. ²¹ But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. ²² Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hateth me hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But it is in order that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, "They hated me without a cause." ²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: ²⁷ and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ THESE things have I spoken, that ye might not be stumbled. ² They will put you out of their synagogues: yea, the hour is coming, that every one who killeth you will think he offers God a sacred service. ³ And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. ⁴ But these things have I spoken to you, that when the hour is come, ye may remember the same for I had told you. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I am going away to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. ⁷ Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And when he cometh, he will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment: ⁹ of sin first, because they believe not in me; ¹⁰ then of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, so ye see me no more; ¹¹ and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him. ¹² I have many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them just now. ¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁶ A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I am going to the Father. ¹⁷ Then said some of the disciples unto each other, What is this which he saith to us, A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and this, because I am going to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means. ¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Are ye questioning among yourselves concerning this declaration, which I spake, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be very sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when the little son is born, she no more remembers the anguish, for joy that a man is brought into the world. ²² And ye therefore have indeed at present sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall be made glad, and your joy no man taketh from you. ²³ And in that hour ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but will plainly inform you respecting the Father. ²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, I will entreat the Father for you: ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. ²⁸ I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I am leaving the world, and going to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples said unto him, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest in no-wise proverbial. ³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any person should ask thee: by this we believe that thou hast come forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? ³² Behold, the hour is coming, yea, it is already come, that ye shall be dispersed, each after his own concerns, and shall leave me alone: though I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³ These things have I spoken to you, that ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good courage; I have overcome the world. ¹⁷ ¹ THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee: ² even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life: ³ and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah. ⁴ I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform. ⁵ And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was. ⁶ I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept. ⁷ Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee. ⁸ For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me. ⁹ I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine. ¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹ And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. ¹² When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth. ²⁰ And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word; ²¹ that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. ²² And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one: ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. ²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
