In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

212

But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

213

So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

215

Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

217

232

But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

234

These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.

235

Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

236

And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

237

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

245

You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

250

And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.

251

The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

252

[And every man went to his house;

254

But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.

255

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

258

Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

259

These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.

And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

262

That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

264

If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

267

273

The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?

274

In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

276

Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

277

If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.

278

I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

280

It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

281

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

283

After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

285

My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

288

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

289

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

291

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

292

So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

293

He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

294

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.

295

And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

296

Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

298

If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

299

So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

301

This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

302

Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?

303

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

304

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

305

Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

306

This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

307

Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

308

For at this time John had not been put into prison.

310

And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

311

Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.

314

If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.

315

And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

316

But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

317

Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

320

Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

321

And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:

322

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

323

Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

324

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

325

Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

326

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

327

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

328

He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

330

I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.

333

And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life.

334

But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

335

Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed and go.

336

So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

340

He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

342

And the man became well straight away, and took up his bed and went. Now that day was the Sabbath.

343

Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

344

And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

345

Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

349

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

350

He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

351

And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

352

So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

355

And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

356

And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

358

And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

359

And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

360

Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself--with me is the Father who sent me.

362

The man went away and said to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

363

They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

364

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

365

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

366

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

367

Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.

369

Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.

371

Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

373

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

374

There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

376

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

377

Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

378

And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

379

And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.

380

Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.

382

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

383

And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!

384

After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

385

But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

386

Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.

387

He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

388

Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

389

Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

390

And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.

391

And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

392

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

393

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

394

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

395

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.

396

Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

397

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

398

So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

399

You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

400

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

401

The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.

402

Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

403

And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

404

The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.

405

Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

406

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

407

Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.

408

In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

409

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

410

So they went out of the town and came to him.

411

Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

412

This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

413

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

414

Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about two miles away;

415

And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

416

Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.

418

And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

419

In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.

421

Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

422

And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

423

And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

424

They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

425

Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

426

He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

427

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

428

Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.

429

This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

430

Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,

431

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

432

The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

433

Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

434

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

435

Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

436

He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

437

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

438

Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

439

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

440

And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.

441

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

442

Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

443

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

444

But the feast of the Jews, the feast of tents, was near.

445

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

446

In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

447

If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

448

When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

449

All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

450

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

451

And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you.

452

It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

453

So his brothers said to him, Go away from here into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works which you do.

454

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

455

Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

457

Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.

458

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

459

Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

460

Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

461

Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.

462

They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

463

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

464

Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.

465

Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.

466

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

467

Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

468

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

470

Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.

471

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

472

Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,

473

Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

474

And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

475

But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

476

However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

477

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

478

But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

479

One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

480

Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?

481

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

482

See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

483

Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

484

(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

486

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

487

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

488

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

489

Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

490

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

491

Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

492

Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

493

While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

494

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

495

But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

496

Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

497

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?

498

Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

499

He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

500

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

501

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

502

I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

503

Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

505

Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.

507

Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

508

And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

509

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

510

And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

511

Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.

512

So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

513

(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

514

And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.

515

So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

516

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,

517

And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

518

Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

519

So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

520

So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

521

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

523

(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)

524

Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.

525

And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

528

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

529

A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

530

Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.

531

For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

532

So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

533

The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

534

Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.

536

Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

537

So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.

538

And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

541

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

543

Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.

544

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

545

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

546

Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

547

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

548

Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

549

They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

550

His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.

551

And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

552

I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.

553

When evening came the disciples went down to the sea;

554

If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

555

He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

557

He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

558

I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

559

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

560

Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

562

So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

563

And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

564

Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

565

The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

567

So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

569

(It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!

571

Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

573

So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?

574

Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

575

But his words were about that holy building which was his body.

576

So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.

577

And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

580

Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

581

And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

582

And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

583

So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

584

Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?

585

Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

586

Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

587

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

588

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

589

How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

590

Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

591

Mary Magdalene went with the news to the disciples, and said she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

592

And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

593

Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

594

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

595

And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

596

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

597

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

599

But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.

600

Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

601

Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

602

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

604

I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

605

He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.

606

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

608

When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

609

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

611

So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

613

Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

615

The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

616

Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

617

In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

619

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

620

Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

621

Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

623

You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

624

So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.

626

And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee.

627

I have said all this to you while I am still with you.

630

Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.

631

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

632

And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

633

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

635

He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.

637

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

639

Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.

642

And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

643

But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

644

You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

645

Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.

646

Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

647

They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

649

In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

650

But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

651

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

653

And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.

654

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

655

So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

656

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

657

Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

658

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

659

Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

660

Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

661

For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

663

And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

664

And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,

666

Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

667

And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

668

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

669

Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.

670

Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

674

Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

675

Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

676

Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

677

Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

679

Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

680

(All mine are yours, and yours are mine) and I have glory in them.

681

Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

682

Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

683

Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

684

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

685

I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

686

They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

687

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

688

And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

690

Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

692

For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.

693

So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

694

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

695

They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

697

When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.

698

And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

699

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

700

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

702

And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

703

And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

704

And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.

705

When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

707

Having said these things to them, he still kept in Galilee.

709

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?

711

Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father: the one who says things against you is Moses, on whom you put your hopes.

713

And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

715

This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

717

Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.

718

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

719

And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.

720

Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

721

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

722

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

723

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

724

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

725

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

726

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

727

Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

729

And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.

731

Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.

732

Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

733

Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:

734

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

736

Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

737

Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

738

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

739

So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.

740

So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

741

And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

742

And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.

745

She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

746

But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.

747

Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.

748

Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

749

Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

750

So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

751

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

752

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

753

Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

754

Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.

755

Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

756

So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.

757

Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?

758

And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.

759

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

760

The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again?

761

Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

762

At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, Where is he?

763

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

764

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

765

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

766

He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.

768

If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

769

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.

770

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

771

This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

773

It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

774

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

776

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

777

And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

778

Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

779

Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

780

If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

781

The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

783

Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

784

So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

785

Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

789

He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

790

Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

792

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

793

And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

794

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

795

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

796

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

798

You sent to John and he gave true witness.

799

Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

800

Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

802

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

803

This is the disciple who gives witness about these things and who put them in writing: and we have knowledge that his witness is true.

804

Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

805

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

806

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

807

Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

808

Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth.

809

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

811

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

812

What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

813

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

814

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

816

When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

817

There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

818

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

819

This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

821

But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

822

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

823

And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

824

Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

825

But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

826

Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

827

Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.

828

When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

829

Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

830

Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

831

They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

832

And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

833

Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

834

For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,

835

In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.

837

The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

838

You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.

839

These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

840

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

842

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

843

And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

845

Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.

846

When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;

847

What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

848

Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.

849

And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

850

Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

851

So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

852

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

853

So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

854

Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

855

If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?

856

It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

857

When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

858

And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

859

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

860

In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

861

Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

862

You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.

863

The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

864

Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

865

Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

866

And a number came to have faith in him there.

867

And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

868

So there was a division among the people because of him.

869

And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.

870

And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.

871

Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

872

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

873

He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

874

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

875

If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

876

But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

877

Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

878

And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

879

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?
