John 8:1-16:33 And Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jesus went to the mount of Olives. ² And in the morning he came again to the temple; and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. ³ And the Scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman that was caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst, ⁴ they say to him: Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery. ⁵ And in the law of Moses, God hath commanded us to stone such persons. What therefore dost thou say? ⁶ And this they said, tempting him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Jesus having stooped down, was writing on the ground. ⁷ And as they continued asking him, he straightened himself up, and said to them: Whoever among you is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her. ⁸ And, having again stooped down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning with the older; and the woman was left, alone where she had stood in the midst. ¹⁰ And when Jesus had straightened himself up, he said to the woman: Where are they? Doth no one condemn thee? ¹¹ And she said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou, and henceforth sin no more. ¹² And Jesus again conversed with them, and said: I am the light of the world: he that cometh to me, will not walk in darkness; but will find for himself the light of life. ¹³ The Pharisees said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself, thy testimony is not certain. ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them: Although I bear witness of myself, my testimony is certain, because I know whence I came, and whither I go. But ye do not know, whence I came, and whither I go. ¹⁵ Ye judge according to the flesh: I judge no one. ¹⁶ Yet if I Judge, my judgment is certain, because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me. ¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two persons is certain. ¹⁸ I am one: who bear witness of myself, and my Father who sent me, beareth witness of me. ¹⁹ They say to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus replied, and said to them: Ye neither know me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father. ²⁰ These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. ²¹ Again Jesus said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins. And whither I go, ye cannot come. ²² The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, Whither I go ye cannot come? ²³ And he said to them: Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world ²⁴ I said to you, That ye will die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye will die in your sins. ²⁵ The Jews said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: Although I have begun to converse with you, ²⁶ I have yet many things to say and to Judge concerning you. But he that sent me is true: and the things which I have heard from him, them I speak in the world. ²⁷ And they did not know, that he spake to them of the Father. ²⁸ Jesus said to them again: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then will ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing from my own pleasure, but as my Father taught me, so I speak. ²⁹ And he that sent me, is with me; and my Father hath not left me alone, because I do, at all times, that which pleaseth him. ³⁰ And when he had spoken these things, many believed on him. ³¹ And Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be truly my disciples. ³² And ye will know the truth; and the truth will make you free. ³³ They say to him: We are the seed of Abraham, and never were in servitude to any man; and how sayest thou, Ye will be freemen? ³⁴ Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. ³⁵ And a servant abideth not for ever in the house; but the Son abideth for ever. ³⁶ If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will really be free men. ³⁷ I know that ye are the children of Abraham; but ye seek to kill me, because ye do not acquiesce in my word. ³⁸ I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. ³⁹ They answered, and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If ye were children of Abraham, ye would do 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: this did not Abraham. ⁴¹ But ye do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not the offspring of whoredom; we have one Father, God. ⁴² Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded and came from God: I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me. ⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my speech. ⁴⁴ Ye are of your father, the calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ But me, because I speak the truth, ye believe me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me? ⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God. ⁴⁸ The Jews answered, and said to him: Did we not well say, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? ⁴⁹ Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me. ⁵⁰ But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh it, and judgeth. ⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say to you: He that keepeth my word, will never see death. ⁵² The Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste death. ⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead, or than the prophets who died? What dost thou make thyself? ⁵⁴ Jesus said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God. ⁵⁵ And ye know him not. But I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar, like you: but I do know him, and I observe his word. ⁵⁶ Abraham your father desired to see my day: and he saw it, and rejoiced. ⁵⁷ The Jews say to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was. ⁵⁹ And they took up stones to stone him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, and passed along among them, and went away. ⁹ ¹ And while passing, he saw a man blind from his mother's womb. ² And his disciples asked him, and said: Our Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ³ Jesus said to them: Neither did he sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be seen in him. ⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, in which no one can work. ⁵ So long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ⁶ And having spoken thus, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and spread it on the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him: Go, wash in the baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away seeing. ⁸ And his neighbors, and they by whom he had before been seen begging, said: Is not this he, who sat and begged? ⁹ Some said, It is he: and others said, No; but he is very like him. But he said: I am he. ¹⁰ And they said to him: How were thy eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered, and said to them: A man whose name is Jesus, made mud and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, Go, wash in the waters of Siloam. And I went, and washed, and my sight was restored. ¹² They said to him: Where is he? He said to them: I know not. ¹³ And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees. ¹⁴ Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ And again the Pharisees asked him: How was thy sight restored? And he said to them: He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and my sight was restored. ¹⁶ And some of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, for he doth not observe the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner, work these signs? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that he is a prophet. ¹⁸ And the Jews would not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and recovered sight, until they called the parents of him who recovered sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them: Is this your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? And how doth he now see? ²⁰ And his parents answered and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; ²¹ but how he now seeth, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He hath come to his years, ask him; he will speak for himself. ²² These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had decided, that if any one should confess him to be Messiah, they would expel him from the synagogue. ²³ For this reason his parents said, He hath come to his years, ask him. ²⁴ And they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; for we know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ He replied, and said to them: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; but, one thing I know, that I was blind, and lo, now I see. ²⁶ They said to him again: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes? ²⁷ He said to them: I have told you, and ye did not hear. Why would ye hear again? Do ye also wish to become his disciples? ²⁸ But they reproached him, and said to him: Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. ²⁹ And we know that God conversed with Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. ³⁰ The man replied and said to them: In this therefore is something to be admired, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes. ³¹ Now we know, that God heareth not the voice of sinners; but him that feareth him, and doeth his pleasure, him he heareth. ³² Never hath it been heard, that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³ If this man were not of God, he could not do this thing. ³⁴ They replied, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they expelled him. ³⁵ And Jesus heard that they had expelled him; and he found him, and said to him: Believest thou on the Son of God? ³⁶ And he that was healed, answered and said: My Lord, who is he, that I may believe on him? ³⁷ Jesus said to him: Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. ³⁸ And he said: My Lord, I believe: and he fell down, and worshipped him. ³⁹ And Jesus said: For the judgment of this world, have I come; that they who see not, might see; and that they who see, might become blind. ⁴⁰ And some of those Pharisees who were with him, heard these things; and they said to him: How? Are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would be without sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is established. ¹⁰ ¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, That he who doth not enter by the door into the fold of the flock, but climbeth up in some other place, he is a thief and a robber. ² But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the flock. ³ And to him the door-keeper openeth the door; and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth the sheep by their names, and leadeth them out. ⁴ And when he hath led out his flock, he goeth before it; and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice. ⁵ But after a stranger the flock will not follow, but it fleeth from him; because it knoweth not the voice of a stranger. ⁶ This allegory spake Jesus to them; but they knew not what he said to them. ⁷ And Jesus said to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, That I am the door of the flock. ⁸ All those who have come, were thieves and robbers: but the flock did not hear them. ⁹ I am the door: and if any enter by me, he will live, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I have come, that they may have life, and may have that which is excellent. ¹¹ I am a good shepherd. A good shepherd exposeth his life for the sheep. ¹² But a hireling, who is not the shepherd, and to whom the sheep do not belong, when he seeth the wolf coming, leaveth the flock, and fleeth; and the wolf cometh, and teareth, and disperseth the flock. ¹³ And a hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and hath no concern for the flock. ¹⁴ I am a good shepherd; and I know my own sheep, and am known by my own. ¹⁵ As my Father knoweth me, so know I my Father; and I expose my life for the flock. ¹⁶ And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: and them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice; and the whole will be one flock, and one shepherd. ¹⁷ For this cause my Father loveth me, that I lay down my life, to resume it again. ¹⁸ There is no one that taketh it from me; but I lay it down of my own pleasure: for I have authority to lay it down, and authority to resume it again; because I have received this command from my Father. ¹⁹ And again there was a division among the Jews, on account of these sayings. ²⁰ And many of them said: He hath a demon, and is wholly beside himself; why hear ye him? ²¹ But others said: These are not the discourses of a demoniac: can a demon open the eyes of one blind? ²² And the feast of the dedication was held at Jerusalem, and it was winter. ²³ And Jesus walked in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. ²⁴ And the Jews gathered around him; and said to him: how long holdest thou our mind in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered, and said to them: I have told you, and ye did not believe. The works which I do in the name of my Father, they testify of me ²⁶ But ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep, as I have said to you. ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice: and I know them: and they go after me. ²⁸ And I give to them life eternal: and they will never be lost: nor will any one pluck them from my hand. ²⁹ For my Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; nor can any pluck from my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and my Father are one. ³¹ And again the Jews took up stones, to stone him. ³² Jesus said to them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? ³³ The Jews said to him: It is not on account of good works, that we stone thee: but because thou blasphemest; and, whilst thou art a man, thou makest thyself God. ³⁴ Jesus said to them: Is it not written in your law, I have said, Ye are gods? ³⁵ If he called them gods, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be nullified; ³⁶ do ye say to him, whom the Father, hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said to you, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ And if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do them, although ye believe not me, yet believe the works; that ye may know and believe, that my Father is in me, and I in my Father. ³⁹ And again they sought to lay hold of him; but he escaped out of their hands; ⁴⁰ and retired to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John at first baptized, and tarried there. ⁴¹ And many persons came to him: and they said, John indeed wrought not even one sign; but every thing that John said of his man, was true. ⁴² And many believed on him. ¹¹ ¹ And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha. ² It was that Mary who anointed the feet of Jesus with perfume, and wiped them with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ And his two sisters sent to Jesus, and said: Our Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ And Jesus said: This sickness is not that of death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and Mary, and Lazarus. ⁶ And when he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days. ⁷ And afterwards he said to his disciples: Come, let us go again into Judaea. ⁸ His disciples say to him: Our Rabbi, the Jews have just sought to stone thee; and goest thou again thither. ⁹ Jesus said to them: Are there not twelve hours in the day? And if a man walk in the daytime, he stumbleth not; because he seeth the light of the world. ¹⁰ But if one walk in the night, he stumbleth; because there is no light in him. ¹¹ These things said Jesus, and afterwards he said to them: Lazarus our friend reposeth. But I go to awake him. ¹² His disciples say to him: Our Lord, if he sleepeth, he is recovering. ¹³ But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought, he spoke of the sleep of repose. ¹⁴ Then Jesus said to them explicitly; Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I rejoice, for your sakes, that I was not there; that ye may believe. But let us go there. ¹⁶ Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go and die with him. ¹⁷ And Jesus came to Bethany, and found that he had been in the grave four days. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, distant from it about fifteen furlongs. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ And Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ And Martha said to Jesus: My Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²² But even now, I know, that whatever thou wilt ask of God, he will give it thee. ²³ Jesus said to her: Thy brother will rise. ²⁴ Martha said to him: I know, that he will rise in the consolation, at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her: I am the consolation, and life. And he that believeth in me, though he should die, will live. ²⁶ And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, will not die for ever. Believest thou this? ²⁷ She said to him: Yes, my Lord; I believe, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, that cometh into the world. ²⁸ And when she had thus said, she went and called her sister Mary, secretly, and said to her: Our Rabbi hath come, and calleth for thee. ²⁹ And Mary, when she heard it, rose up quickly, and went to meet him. ³⁰ And Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met him. ³¹ Those Jews also, who were with her in the house and consoled her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed after her; for they supposed, she was going to the grave to weep. ³² And Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, and said to him: If thou hadst been here, my Lord, my brother had not died. ³³ And when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was moved in spirit, and was agitated. ³⁴ And he said: Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Our Lord, come, and see. ³⁵ And the tears of Jesus came. ³⁶ And the Jews said: See, how much he loved him. ³⁷ And some of them said: Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that this also should not have died? ³⁸ And Jesus, still agitated within, came to the grave. Now the grave was a cave, and a stone was laid upon its entrance. ³⁹ And Jesus said: Take away this stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: My Lord, by this time he is putrid; for four days have elapsed. ⁴⁰ Jesus said to her: Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? ⁴¹ And they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes on high, and said: Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. ⁴² And I know that thou hearest me always; but on account of this multitude that standeth here, I say these things; that they may believe, that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, he called with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth! ⁴⁴ And the dead man came forth, with his hands and his feet swathed with bandages, and his face with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go. ⁴⁵ And many of the Jews who had come to Mary, when they saw what Jesus did, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them all that Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ And the chief priests and Pharisees assembled together, and said: What shall we do? For this man worketh many signs. ⁴⁸ And if we thus let him alone, all the people will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But, one of them, named Caiaphas, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them: Ye know not any thing. ⁵⁰ Neither do ye consider, that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and not that this whole people perish. ⁵¹ This he said, however, not from the promptings of his own mind; but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the people: ⁵² and not only for the people, but also that he might collect together the sons of God that were dispersed. ⁵³ And from that day, they plotted to kill him. ⁵⁴ And Jesus did not walk openly among the Jews; but retired from them to a place near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he abode with his disciples. ⁵⁵ And the passover of the Jews drew near: and many went up from the villages to Jerusalem, before the feast, that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶ And they sought for Jesus; and they said one to another, in the temple: What think ye? that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ And the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known to them, that they might take him. ¹² ¹ And six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where was that Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² And they made a supper for him there: and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of the guests with him. ³ And Mary took an alabaster box of perfume of choice spikenard, of great price; and anointed the feet of Jesus; and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the perfume. ⁴ Then said Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, he that was about to betray him: ⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ And this he said, not be cause he cared for the poor, but because he was thief, and held the purse, and carried what was put in it. ⁷ But Jesus said: Let her alone; she hath kept it for the day of my burial. ⁸ For the poor are always with you, but I am not with you always. ⁹ And great multitudes of the Jews heard that he was there: and they came, not only on account of Jesus, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead. ¹⁰ And the chief priests deliberated about killing even Lazarus: ¹¹ because many of the Jews, on his account, went and believed in Jesus. ¹² And the next day, a great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took boughs of palm-trees, and went out to meet him. And they cried, and said: Hosanna, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel! ¹⁴ And Jesus found an ass, and sat upon it; as it is written ¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Sion. Behold, thy king cometh to thee; and he rideth upon a colt, the foal of an ass. ¹⁶ These things understood not his disciples, at that time; but when Jesus was glorified, then his disciples remembered that these things were written of him, and that they did them to him. ¹⁷ And the multitude that had been with him, testified that he had called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from the dead. ¹⁸ And for this reason, great multitudes went out to meet him, as they had heard that he wrought this sign. ¹⁹ But the Pharisees said, one to another: Do ye see, that ye are gaining nothing? For, lo, the whole world is going after him. ²⁰ And there were also among the people, some who had come up to worship at the feast. ²¹ These came, and approached Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him: My lord, we are desirous to see Jesus. ²² Philip came and told Andrew; and Andrew and Philip told Jesus. ²³ And Jesus answered, and said to them: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, That a kernel of wheat, unless it fall and die in the ground, remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth numerous fruits. ²⁵ He that loveth his life, will lose it; and he that hateth his life, in this world, will preserve it unto life everlasting. ²⁶ If any one is servant to me, he will come after me; and where I am, there also will my servant be. Him that serveth me, will the Father honor. ²⁷ Behold, now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour? But for this very cause, came I to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! And a voice was heard from heaven: I have glorified it; and I will glorify it again. ²⁹ And the multitude standing by, heard it; and they said: There was thunder. But others said: An angel spoke with him. ³⁰ Jesus answered, and said to them: This voice was not for my sake, but for yours. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now the ruler of this world is cast out. ³² And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me. ³³ And this he said, to show by what manner of death, he was to die. ³⁴ The multitude said to him: We have heard from the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, that the Son of man is to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? ³⁵ Jesus said to them: A short time longer, the light is with you. Walk, while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. He that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ While the light is with you, confide in the light; that ye may be children of the light. These things said Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them. ³⁷ And although he wrought all these signs before them, they believed him not; ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: My Lord; who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ They have blinded their eyes, and darkened their hearts; that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted; and I should heal them. ⁴¹ These things spake Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ⁴² And of the chiefs also, many believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God. ⁴⁴ And Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world, a light, that whoever believeth in me, might not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And whoever shall hear my words, and not observe them, I judge him not; for I did not come to judge the world, but to vivify the world. ⁴⁸ Whoever rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, there is one to judge him; the word which I speak, will judge him, at the last day. ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should speak, and what I should say. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life eternal. Therefore, these things which I speak, as my Father hath said to me, so I speak. ¹³ ¹ And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour had come when he should depart from this world unto the Father. And he loved his own people, who were in the world; and he loved them unto the end. ² And when the supper was passed, it had been injected by Satan into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him. ³ And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands; and that he came out from the Father, and was going to God; ⁴ arose from the supper, and laid aside his long garments, and took a linen cloth, and wrapped it about his loins; ⁵ and poured water into a wash-basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples: and he wiped them with the linen cloth with which he had girded his loins. ⁶ And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said to him: Dost thou, my Lord, wash my feet for me? ⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do, thou understandest not now: but hereafter thou wilt understand. ⁸ Simon Cephas said to him: Never shalt thou wash my feet. Jesus said to him: Unless I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Cephas said to him: Then, my Lord, not my feet only shalt thou wash, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus said to him: He that hath bathed, needeth not but to wash his feet; for he is all clean. And ye also are clean; but not all of you. ¹¹ For Jesus knew, who would betray him: therefore he said, Ye are not all clean. ¹² And when he had washed their feet, he resumed his long garments, and reclined. And he said to them: Understand ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me, Our Rabbi, and Our Lord; and ye speak well; for I am so. ¹⁴ If then I, your Lord and your Rabbi, have washed your feet, how much more ought ye to wash the feet of one another? ¹⁵ For I have given you this example, that ye might do, as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, That no servant is greater than his lord; and no legate is greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy will ye be if ye do them. ¹⁸ Not of you all, do I speak: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted his heel against me. ¹⁹ From this time, I tell you, before it occurs, that when it shall occur, ye may know that I am he. ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you: He that receiveth him whom I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. ²¹ These things said Jesus, and he was agitated in his spirit; and he testified, and said: Verily, verily, I say to you, That one of you will betray me. ²² And the disciples stared at one another; because they knew not, of whom he spake. ²³ And there was one of his disciples, who was reclining on his bosom, he whom Jesus loved; ²⁴ to him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him, who it was of whom he spoke. ²⁵ And that disciple fell upon the breast of Jesus, and said to him: My Lord, which is he? ²⁶ Jesus answered and said: He it is, to whom I give the bread when I have dipped it. And Jesus dipped the bread, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸ And no one of those reclining, knew, wherefore he said this to him. ²⁹ For some of them supposed, because the purse was in the hands of Judas, that Jesus expressly charged him to buy something needful for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ And Judas took the bread at once, and went out of the house. And it was night when he went out. ³¹ And Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him. ³² And if God is glorified in him, God will glorify him in himself; and will glorify him speedily. ³³ My children, a little longer I am with you; and ye will seek for me; and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go ye cannot come, so I now say to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that ye be affectionate to each other. As I have loved you, do ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this will every one know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love for each other. ³⁶ Simon Cephas said to him: Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, and said to him: Whither I go, thou canst not now come after me; but thou wilt at last come. ³⁷ Simon Cephas said to him: My Lord, why can I not come after thee? I would lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus said to him: Wouldst thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock will not crow, until thou hast three times denied me. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and, believe in me. ² There are many mansions in the house of my Father: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ⁴ And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye know. ⁵ Thomas said to him: Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus said to him: I am the way, and truth, and life: no one cometh unto my Father, but by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father: and henceforth, ye know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice for us. ⁹ Jesus said to him: Have I been all this time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that seeth me, seeth the Father: and how sayest thou, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? And the words which I speak, I speak not from myself: but my Father, who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works. ¹¹ Believe, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me. And if not, believe, at least, on account of the works. ¹² Verily, verily, I say to you: He that believeth in me, the works which I do, will he also do. And greater than these will he do, because I go unto my Father. ¹³ And what ye shall ask in my name, I will do for you; that the Father may be glorified in his Son. ¹⁴ And if ye shall ask of me, in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commands. ¹⁶ And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, and knoweth him not: but ye know him, because he abideth with you, and is in you. ¹⁸ I shall not leave you orphans: for I shall come to you in a little while. ¹⁹ And the world will not see me; but ye will see me. Because I live, ye will live also. ²⁰ In that day ye will know, that I am in my Father; and that ye are in me, and I in you. ²¹ He, with whom are my commands, and who keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, will be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: My Lord, how is it that thou art to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ But he that loveth me not, observeth not my instruction. And the instruction which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. ²⁵ These things have I said to you, while I was with you. ²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. It is not as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid. ²⁸ Ye have heard what I said to you that I go away, and come again to you. If ye had loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I ²⁹ And now, lo, I have told you, before it occurreth; so that when it shall have occurred, ye may believe. ³⁰ Hereafter I shall not converse much with you; for the ruler of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. ³¹ But that the world may know, that I love my Father, and as my Father commanded me, so I do. Arise; let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator. ² Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits. ³ Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing. ⁶ And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned. ⁷ But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you. ⁸ In this is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples. ⁹ As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me. ¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants; because a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you my friends; because, whatever I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ It is not ye that chose me, but I that have chosen you; and I have appointed you, that ye also should go and yield fruits, and that your fruits should continue; so that whatever ye may ask of my Father in my name, he may give it you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye should love one another. ¹⁸ And if the world hate you, know ye, that it hated me before you. ¹⁹ And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe yours. ²¹ But all these things will they do to you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and discoursed with them, sin would not have been to them; but now there is no excuse for their sins. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both me and my Father; ²⁵ so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a cause. ²⁶ But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send to you from my Father, that Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, He will testify of me. ²⁷ And do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things have I said to you, that ye may not be stumbled. ² For they will eject you from their synagogues; and the hour will come, that whoever shall kill you, will suppose that he presenteth an offering to God. ³ And these things will they do, because they have not known either my Father, or me. ⁴ These things have I spoken to you, that when the time of them cometh, ye may recollect, that I told you of them. And I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now, I am going to Him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? ⁶ And because I have told you these things, sorrow hath come and hath filled your hearts. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, that it is profitable for you that I go away; for, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. ⁹ Of sin because they believe not in me: ¹⁰ and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more: ¹¹ and of Judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ¹² Moreover, I have much to say to you: but ye cannot comprehend it now. ¹³ But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all the truth. For he will not speak from his own mind; but whatever he heareth, that will he speak: and he will make known to you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me; because he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you. ¹⁵ Whatever the Father hath, is mine: therefore said I to you that he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you. ¹⁶ A little while, and ye will not see me; and again a little while, and ye will see me; because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ And his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye will not see me and again a little while, and ye will see me, because I go to my Father? ¹⁸ And they said: What is this little while, of which he speaketh? We know not what he saith. ¹⁹ And Jesus knew, that they desired to ask him; and he said to them: Are ye debating with each other, of what I said to you, A little while, and ye will not see me, and again a little while, and ye will see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, That ye will weep and lament: And the world will rejoice, while to you will be sorrow. But your sorrow will be turned to joy. ²¹ A woman, in bringing forth, hath sorrow, for the day of her travail hath come: but when she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her anguish, because of the joy that a human being is born into the world. ²² Ye also now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will deprive you of your joy. ²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall ask of my Father in my name, he will give to you. ²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye will receive; that your joy may be complete. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in allegories: but the hour will come, when I shall not speak to you in allegories, but I will speak to you plainly of the Father. ²⁶ In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you; ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I proceeded from the presence of the Father. ²⁸ I proceeded forth from before the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and thou utterest no allegory. ³⁰ Now know we, that thou knowest every thing; and thou hast no need, that any one should ask thee: by this we believe, that thou didst proceed from God. ³¹ Jesus said to them: Do ye believe? ³² Behold, the hour cometh, and hath now come, when ye will be dispersed, each to his place; and ye will leave me alone. But I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³ These things have I said to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye will have trouble: but, take courage, I have vanquished the world.
