and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

So they were saying to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also."

Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

The Jews, therefore, were saying - Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?

They were saying unto him, therefore - Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them - First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.

They did not see that his words were about the Father.

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

The Jews answered and said to Jesus, "Were we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan [See note on 4:9], and are dominated by an evil spirit?"

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is [worth] nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am." [Note: The words "I am" were probably construed as a reference to being Deity. See Ex. 3:14].

The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime - that he was, a beggar, were saying - Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?

Others were saying, "It is this man"; others were saying, "No, but he is like him." That one was saying, "I am [he]!"

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man [who is] a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said - A prophet, is he.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins [from head to foot], and you [presume to] teach us?” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

And Jesus said - For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

The Jews were again divided over these words.

And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

Others were saying, "These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, [is it]?"

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.

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,

And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

And many who were there believed on him.

Now Jesus loved and was concerned about Martha and her sister and Lazarus [and considered them dear friends].

The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

These were the things he said. Then after this, he told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm leaving to wake him up."

and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.

Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

for Jesus was not yet arrived in the town, but staid at the place were Martha met him.

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

Therefore when Mary came where Jesus was, after seeing him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.

So the Jews were saying, "See how he loved him!"

And he that was dead, came forth bound hand and foot, with grave bonds after the manner as they were wont to bind their dead withal. And his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, "Loose him, and let him go."

Many therefore of the Jews who were come to Mary, and had seen the things, which Jesus had done, believed on him.

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?

(He did not say this simply of his own accord; he was high priest that year, and his words were a prophecy that Jesus was to die for the nation,

And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.

and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;'

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

So, the Pharisees were saying among themselves, "Look, you men are getting nowhere [in this situation]. See, the [whole] world has gone after him."

And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'

the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'

And I, if I were lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."

yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

while they were at supper, (the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) Jesus,

(For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)

the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

But, as to this, none of them who were reclining with him knew respecting what, he said it to him.

for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

If God were honoured in him, also shall God honour him in himself, and quickly shall he honour him.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

Then some of His disciples were saying to one another, What is this which He speaks to us, A little while, and you see me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me? and that I go to the Father?

They were saying, therefore - What is this which he saith: - A little while? We know not what he is saying.

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?

So he again asked for whom they were looking, and they answered: "Jesus of Nazareth."

Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, so he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the [residence of the] high priest;

Now the servants and the officers were standing there , having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret.

They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
