Rotherham(i)
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you:––He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.
2 But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:
3 To him, the porter openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.
4 As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;
5 But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
6 This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, again––Verily, verily, I say unto you:––I, am the door of the sheep:
8 All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
9 I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
10 The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.
11 I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.
12 The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth,––and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth,––
13 Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
14 I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me,––
15 Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep.
16 And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
17 Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it:––
18 No one, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself,––Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.
19 A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words. 20 But many from among them were saying––A demon, he hath, and is raving,––Why, unto him, do ye hearken? 21 Others, said––These sayings, are not those of one demonized,––Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. 24 The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him––How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly. 25 Jesus answered them––I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. 26 But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. 27 My sheep, unto my voice, hearken,––and, I, know, them, and they follow me,–– 28 And, I, give unto them life age–abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age–abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. 29 What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father:–– 30 I and the Father, are, one. 31 The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him. 32 Jesus answered them––Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me? 33 The Jews answered him––Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech,––and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God. 34 Jesus answered them––Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods? 35 If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came––and the Scripture cannot be broken–– 36 Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying––Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me; 38 But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe,––that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
39 They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand. 40 And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there. 41 And, many, came unto him, and were saying––John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true. 42 And, many, believed on him there.
11 1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. 2 And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair––whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying––Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick. 4 But Jesus hearing, said––This sickness, is not unto 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 When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days. 7 Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples––Let us be leading on into Judaea, again. 8 The disciples say unto him––Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee––and, again, goest thou thither? 9 Jesus answered––Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth; 10 But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him. 11 These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them––Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him. 12 The disciples, therefore, said unto him––Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover. 13 But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking. 14 Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly,––Lazarus, died; 15 and I rejoice, for your sake––that ye may believe,––that I was not there; but let us be going unto him. 16 Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow–disciples––Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.
17 Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; 19 and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother. 20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting. 21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus––Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; 22 And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her––Thy brother shall rise. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her––I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again! 26 And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age–abiding. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him––Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God,––He who, into the world, should come. 28 And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying––The teacher, is present, and calleth thee. 29 And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him. 30 Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him. 31 The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there. 32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him––Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself, 34 and said––Where have ye laid him? They say unto him––Lord! come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 The Jews, therefore, were saying––See! how tenderly he loved him! 37 But, some from among them, said––Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died? 38 Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon. 39 Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him––Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her––Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? 41 So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said––Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me: 42 I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake,––that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth. 43 And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out––Lazarus! Come forth! 44 He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages, and, his face, with a napkin, was bound about. Jesus saith unto them––Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him 46 but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. 47 The High–priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high–council, and were saying––What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs? 48 If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation. 49 But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High–priest, for that year, said unto them––Ye, know, nothing at all; 50 nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish. 51 This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High–priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation; 52 and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one. 53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put him to death. 54 Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples. 55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves. 56 They were therefore seeking Jesus, and were saying one to another, in the temple, standing––How seemeth it unto you? that he will in nowise come unto the feast? 57 Now the High–priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that, if anyone came to know where he was, he should inform [them], so that they might seize him.
12 1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead. 2 So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him. 3 Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 [But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith–– 5 Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute? 6 Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein. 7 Jesus, therefore, said––Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it; 8 For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye. 9 The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead. 10 But the High–priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death; 11 because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.
12 On the morrow, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud––Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord,––even the King of Israel! 14 And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written–– 15 Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass. 16 These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written,––and that, these things, they had done unto him. 17 The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness. 18 On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign. 19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves––Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
20 Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast. 21 These, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee,––and were requesting him, saying––Sir! We desire to see, Jesus. 22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus. 23 But, Jesus, answereth them, saying––The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified! 24 Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth. 25 He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age–abiding, shall guard it. 26 If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
27 Now, is my soul troubled,––and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name! 28 There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven––I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 [So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying––It hath, thundered. Others, were saying––A messenger, unto him, hath spoken. 30 Jesus answered, and said––Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake. 31 Now, is there, a judging, of this world,––Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out; 32 And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself. 33 But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die. 34 The multitude, therefore, answered him––We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say,––It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? 35 Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth. 36 While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus,––and, departing, was hid from them.
37 And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him:–– 38 that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said––Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed? 39 On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah–– 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn,––and I should heal them. 41 These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made; 43 for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
44 And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said––He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me; 45 And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me. 46 I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide. 47 And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. 48 He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day. 49 Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that, his commandment, is, life age–abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak.
13 1 Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come, that he should remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, unto the end, loved them. 2 And, supper, being in progress, the adversary, having already thrust into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, that he should deliver him up,–– 3 [Jesus] knowing that, all things, the Father had given unto him, into his hands, and that, from God, he had come, and, unto God, he was going, 4 rouseth himself out of the supper, and layeth aside his garments, and taking a linen cloth, girded himself. 5 Next, he poureth water into the wash–basin, and began to be washing the feet of the disciples, and to be wiping them with the linen cloth wherewith he was girded. 6 So he cometh unto Simon Peter. He saith unto him––Lord, dost, thou, wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered, and said unto him––What, I, am doing, thou, knowest not, as yet; howbeit, thou shalt got to know, hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him––In nowise shalt thou, ever, wash my feet. Jesus answered him––If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! not my feet only, but my hands also, and my head. 10 Jesus saith unto him––He that hath bathed himself, hath no need [save as to the feet] to get washed; but is pure, as a whole. And, ye, are, pure, but not ye, all. 11 For he know the man that was delivering him up; therefore, said he––Not ye all, are pure. 12 When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and reclined, again said he unto them––Are ye taking note, what I have done unto you? 13 Ye, call me, The Teacher, and, The Lord,––and, well, say, for I am. 14 If then, I, have washed your feet,––[I] The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye also, ought to wash, one another’s, feet; 15 For, an example, have I given you,––that, just as, I, did unto you, ye also, should be doing. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you––A servant is not greater than his lord, neither one sent forth greater than he that sent him. 17 If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing them.
18 Not, concerning you all, am I speaking,––for, I, know of whom I made choice; but. . . that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread, hath lifted up against me, his heel. 19 Henceforth, I tell you, before it cometh to pass,––that ye may believe, whensoever it doth come to pass, that, I, am he. 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 These things, having said, Jesus, was troubled in spirit, and bare witness, and said––Verily, verily, I say unto you––One from among you, will deliver me up. 22 The disciples began to look one at another, being at a loss concerning whom he was speaking. 23 One of Jesus’ disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved: 24 so Simon Peter beckoneth unto the same, and saith unto him––Say, Who is it? concerning whom he speaketh. 25 He, falling back thus, upon the breast of Jesus, saith unto him––Lord! who is it? 26 Jesus, therefore, answereth––That one, it is, for whom, I, shall dip the morsel, and give unto him. So, dipping the morsel, he taketh and giveth it unto Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And, after the morsel, then, entered, Satan, into that man. Jesus, therefore, saith unto him––What thou art doing, do quickly! 28 But, as to this, none of them who were reclining with him knew respecting what, he said it to him. 29 For, some, were thinking, since Judas held the bag, that Jesus was saying to him––Buy the things of which we have, need, for the feast; or that, unto the destitute, he should give something. 30 So, he, taking the morsel, went out straightway; ––and it was night.
31 When, therefore, he had gone out, Jesus saith––Just now, was, the Son of Man, glorified, and, God, was glorified in him; 32 And, God, will glorify him, in himself,––and, straightway, glorify him. 33 Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even now. 34 A new commandment, give I unto you,––That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you, that, ye also, be loving one another: 35 By this, shall all men take knowledge, that, my disciples, ye are,––If ye have, love, one to another.
36 Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered––Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, but thou shalt follow, hereafter. 37 Peter saith unto him––Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down. 38 Jesus answereth––Thy life, in my behalf, wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily, I say unto thee––In nowise shall a cock crow till thou hast denied me, thrice.
14 1 Let not your heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe. 2 In the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And, if I go, and prepare a place for you, again, am I coming, and will take you home unto––myself, that, where, I, am, ye also, may be.
4 And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way. 5 Thomas saith unto him––Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him––I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through me. 7 If ye had been getting to know me, my Father also, had ye known: from henceforth, are ye getting to know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip saith unto him––Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him––So long a time as this, have I been, with you,––and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not, that, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, is, in me? The things which I am saying unto you, from myself, I speak not; but, the Father, within me abiding, doeth his works. 11 Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; ––or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you––He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going,–– 13 And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son: 14 If anything ye shall ask [me] in my name, the same, will I do.
15 If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep; 16 And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age–abidingly, 17 The Spirit of truth,––which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
18 I will not leave you bereft,––I am coming unto you. 19 Yet a little, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me,––Because, I, live, ye also, shall live. 20 In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, in me, and, I, in you. 21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him. 22 Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him––Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered, and said unto him––If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him,––and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make. 24 He that loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; ––and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding; 26 But, the Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, told you. 27 Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, unto you,––Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto you:––Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye heard that, I, said unto you––I go my way, and I come unto you,––Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I. 29 But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe. 30 No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing,–– 31 But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.
15 1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear. 3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you: 4 Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide. 5 I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing. 6 If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them,––and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you. 8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love. 10 If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love,––just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love. 11 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full. 12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you. 13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends. 14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you. 15 No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you. 16 Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit,––and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you. 17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated. 19 If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you. 20 Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute,––If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep. 21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me. 22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin. 23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also. 24 Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But. . . that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled––They hated me without cause.
26 Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me; 27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
16 1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble: 2 Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God! 3 And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me. 4 But, these things, have I told you,––That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you; 5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me––Whither goest thou? 6 But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
7 But, I, the truth, am telling you––It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you. 8 And, having come, He, will reprove the world––Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: 9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me; 10 But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me; 11 And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged. 12 Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying,––but ye cannot bear them, just now; 13 Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come––The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you. 14 He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you. 15 All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I––Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
16 A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another––What is this which he is saying to us:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and––Because I go my way unto the Father? 18 They were saying, therefore––What is this which he saith:––A little while? We know not [what he is saying]. 19 Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them––Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another,––because I said:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you––Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned. 21 A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born. 22 And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice,––and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.
23 And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing:––Verily, verily, I say unto you––Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name. 24 Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive,––that, your joy, may be made full. 25 These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you. 26 In that day, In my name, shall ye ask:––and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you; 27 For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth:––
28 I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world,––Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father. 29 His disciples say––See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using: 30 Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth. 31 Jesus answered them––As yet, ye believe: 32 Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; ––And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me! 33 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage,––I, have overcome the world.
19 A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words. 20 But many from among them were saying––A demon, he hath, and is raving,––Why, unto him, do ye hearken? 21 Others, said––These sayings, are not those of one demonized,––Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. 24 The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him––How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly. 25 Jesus answered them––I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. 26 But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. 27 My sheep, unto my voice, hearken,––and, I, know, them, and they follow me,–– 28 And, I, give unto them life age–abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age–abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. 29 What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father:–– 30 I and the Father, are, one. 31 The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him. 32 Jesus answered them––Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me? 33 The Jews answered him––Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech,––and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God. 34 Jesus answered them––Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods? 35 If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came––and the Scripture cannot be broken–– 36 Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying––Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me; 38 But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe,––that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
39 They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand. 40 And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there. 41 And, many, came unto him, and were saying––John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true. 42 And, many, believed on him there.
11 1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. 2 And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair––whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying––Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick. 4 But Jesus hearing, said––This sickness, is not unto 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 When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days. 7 Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples––Let us be leading on into Judaea, again. 8 The disciples say unto him––Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee––and, again, goest thou thither? 9 Jesus answered––Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth; 10 But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him. 11 These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them––Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him. 12 The disciples, therefore, said unto him––Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover. 13 But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking. 14 Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly,––Lazarus, died; 15 and I rejoice, for your sake––that ye may believe,––that I was not there; but let us be going unto him. 16 Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow–disciples––Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.
17 Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; 19 and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother. 20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting. 21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus––Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; 22 And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her––Thy brother shall rise. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her––I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again! 26 And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age–abiding. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him––Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God,––He who, into the world, should come. 28 And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying––The teacher, is present, and calleth thee. 29 And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him. 30 Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him. 31 The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there. 32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him––Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself, 34 and said––Where have ye laid him? They say unto him––Lord! come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 The Jews, therefore, were saying––See! how tenderly he loved him! 37 But, some from among them, said––Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died? 38 Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon. 39 Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him––Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her––Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? 41 So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said––Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me: 42 I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake,––that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth. 43 And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out––Lazarus! Come forth! 44 He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages, and, his face, with a napkin, was bound about. Jesus saith unto them––Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him 46 but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. 47 The High–priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high–council, and were saying––What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs? 48 If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation. 49 But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High–priest, for that year, said unto them––Ye, know, nothing at all; 50 nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish. 51 This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High–priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation; 52 and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one. 53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put him to death. 54 Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples. 55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves. 56 They were therefore seeking Jesus, and were saying one to another, in the temple, standing––How seemeth it unto you? that he will in nowise come unto the feast? 57 Now the High–priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that, if anyone came to know where he was, he should inform [them], so that they might seize him.
12 1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead. 2 So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him. 3 Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 [But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith–– 5 Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute? 6 Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein. 7 Jesus, therefore, said––Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it; 8 For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye. 9 The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead. 10 But the High–priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death; 11 because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.
12 On the morrow, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud––Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord,––even the King of Israel! 14 And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written–– 15 Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass. 16 These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written,––and that, these things, they had done unto him. 17 The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness. 18 On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign. 19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves––Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
20 Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast. 21 These, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee,––and were requesting him, saying––Sir! We desire to see, Jesus. 22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus. 23 But, Jesus, answereth them, saying––The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified! 24 Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth. 25 He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age–abiding, shall guard it. 26 If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
27 Now, is my soul troubled,––and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name! 28 There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven––I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 [So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying––It hath, thundered. Others, were saying––A messenger, unto him, hath spoken. 30 Jesus answered, and said––Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake. 31 Now, is there, a judging, of this world,––Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out; 32 And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself. 33 But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die. 34 The multitude, therefore, answered him––We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say,––It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? 35 Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth. 36 While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus,––and, departing, was hid from them.
37 And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him:–– 38 that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said––Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed? 39 On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah–– 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn,––and I should heal them. 41 These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made; 43 for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
44 And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said––He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me; 45 And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me. 46 I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide. 47 And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. 48 He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day. 49 Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that, his commandment, is, life age–abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak.
13 1 Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come, that he should remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, unto the end, loved them. 2 And, supper, being in progress, the adversary, having already thrust into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, that he should deliver him up,–– 3 [Jesus] knowing that, all things, the Father had given unto him, into his hands, and that, from God, he had come, and, unto God, he was going, 4 rouseth himself out of the supper, and layeth aside his garments, and taking a linen cloth, girded himself. 5 Next, he poureth water into the wash–basin, and began to be washing the feet of the disciples, and to be wiping them with the linen cloth wherewith he was girded. 6 So he cometh unto Simon Peter. He saith unto him––Lord, dost, thou, wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered, and said unto him––What, I, am doing, thou, knowest not, as yet; howbeit, thou shalt got to know, hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him––In nowise shalt thou, ever, wash my feet. Jesus answered him––If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! not my feet only, but my hands also, and my head. 10 Jesus saith unto him––He that hath bathed himself, hath no need [save as to the feet] to get washed; but is pure, as a whole. And, ye, are, pure, but not ye, all. 11 For he know the man that was delivering him up; therefore, said he––Not ye all, are pure. 12 When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and reclined, again said he unto them––Are ye taking note, what I have done unto you? 13 Ye, call me, The Teacher, and, The Lord,––and, well, say, for I am. 14 If then, I, have washed your feet,––[I] The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye also, ought to wash, one another’s, feet; 15 For, an example, have I given you,––that, just as, I, did unto you, ye also, should be doing. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you––A servant is not greater than his lord, neither one sent forth greater than he that sent him. 17 If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing them.
18 Not, concerning you all, am I speaking,––for, I, know of whom I made choice; but. . . that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread, hath lifted up against me, his heel. 19 Henceforth, I tell you, before it cometh to pass,––that ye may believe, whensoever it doth come to pass, that, I, am he. 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 These things, having said, Jesus, was troubled in spirit, and bare witness, and said––Verily, verily, I say unto you––One from among you, will deliver me up. 22 The disciples began to look one at another, being at a loss concerning whom he was speaking. 23 One of Jesus’ disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved: 24 so Simon Peter beckoneth unto the same, and saith unto him––Say, Who is it? concerning whom he speaketh. 25 He, falling back thus, upon the breast of Jesus, saith unto him––Lord! who is it? 26 Jesus, therefore, answereth––That one, it is, for whom, I, shall dip the morsel, and give unto him. So, dipping the morsel, he taketh and giveth it unto Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And, after the morsel, then, entered, Satan, into that man. Jesus, therefore, saith unto him––What thou art doing, do quickly! 28 But, as to this, none of them who were reclining with him knew respecting what, he said it to him. 29 For, some, were thinking, since Judas held the bag, that Jesus was saying to him––Buy the things of which we have, need, for the feast; or that, unto the destitute, he should give something. 30 So, he, taking the morsel, went out straightway; ––and it was night.
31 When, therefore, he had gone out, Jesus saith––Just now, was, the Son of Man, glorified, and, God, was glorified in him; 32 And, God, will glorify him, in himself,––and, straightway, glorify him. 33 Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even now. 34 A new commandment, give I unto you,––That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you, that, ye also, be loving one another: 35 By this, shall all men take knowledge, that, my disciples, ye are,––If ye have, love, one to another.
36 Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered––Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, but thou shalt follow, hereafter. 37 Peter saith unto him––Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down. 38 Jesus answereth––Thy life, in my behalf, wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily, I say unto thee––In nowise shall a cock crow till thou hast denied me, thrice.
14 1 Let not your heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe. 2 In the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And, if I go, and prepare a place for you, again, am I coming, and will take you home unto––myself, that, where, I, am, ye also, may be.
4 And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way. 5 Thomas saith unto him––Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him––I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through me. 7 If ye had been getting to know me, my Father also, had ye known: from henceforth, are ye getting to know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip saith unto him––Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him––So long a time as this, have I been, with you,––and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not, that, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, is, in me? The things which I am saying unto you, from myself, I speak not; but, the Father, within me abiding, doeth his works. 11 Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; ––or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you––He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going,–– 13 And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son: 14 If anything ye shall ask [me] in my name, the same, will I do.
15 If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep; 16 And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age–abidingly, 17 The Spirit of truth,––which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
18 I will not leave you bereft,––I am coming unto you. 19 Yet a little, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me,––Because, I, live, ye also, shall live. 20 In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, in me, and, I, in you. 21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him. 22 Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him––Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered, and said unto him––If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him,––and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make. 24 He that loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; ––and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding; 26 But, the Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, told you. 27 Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, unto you,––Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto you:––Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye heard that, I, said unto you––I go my way, and I come unto you,––Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I. 29 But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe. 30 No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing,–– 31 But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.
15 1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear. 3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you: 4 Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide. 5 I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing. 6 If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them,––and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you. 8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love. 10 If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love,––just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love. 11 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full. 12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you. 13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends. 14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you. 15 No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you. 16 Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit,––and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you. 17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated. 19 If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you. 20 Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute,––If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep. 21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me. 22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin. 23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also. 24 Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But. . . that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled––They hated me without cause.
26 Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me; 27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
16 1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble: 2 Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God! 3 And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me. 4 But, these things, have I told you,––That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you; 5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me––Whither goest thou? 6 But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
7 But, I, the truth, am telling you––It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you. 8 And, having come, He, will reprove the world––Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: 9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me; 10 But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me; 11 And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged. 12 Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying,––but ye cannot bear them, just now; 13 Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come––The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you. 14 He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you. 15 All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I––Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
16 A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another––What is this which he is saying to us:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and––Because I go my way unto the Father? 18 They were saying, therefore––What is this which he saith:––A little while? We know not [what he is saying]. 19 Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them––Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another,––because I said:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you––Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned. 21 A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born. 22 And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice,––and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.
23 And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing:––Verily, verily, I say unto you––Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name. 24 Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive,––that, your joy, may be made full. 25 These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you. 26 In that day, In my name, shall ye ask:––and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you; 27 For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth:––
28 I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world,––Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father. 29 His disciples say––See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using: 30 Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth. 31 Jesus answered them––As yet, ye believe: 32 Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; ––And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me! 33 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage,––I, have overcome the world.
