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, -

he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

therefore doth my father love me, because I lay down my life, but I shall reassume it.

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

but, as I said before, you do not believe; because ye are not of my sheep.

Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me?

The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

If the Law said they were gods, to whom the word of God came ??and scripture cannot be broken ??36 do you mean to tell me, whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

how can you say that I blaspheme, I whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, because I said I am the son of God?

When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in the day? he that travels by day does not stumble, because he has the light of this world to see by.

but if a man travels by night he stumbles, because there is no light for him.

and I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, because ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go unto him."

So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, [when they] saw Mary--that she stood up quickly and went out--followed her, [because they] thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, "Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days."

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lift up his eyes and said, "father I thank thee, because that thou hast heard me;

I know that thou hearest me always: but I say this, because of the people here present, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? Because this man does many signs.

Now he did not say this on his own authority, but because he was high priest that year he uttered this prophecy from God, that Jesus was to die for the nation,

this he said, not out of any concern for the poor; but because being purse-bearer he used to pilfer what was in bank.

because you will always have the destitute with you, but you won't always have me."

Then a large crowd of the Jews learned He was there. They came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus the one He had raised from the dead.

because he was the occasion that many of the Jews left them, and believed on Jesus.

Now his disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these were things written because of him, and they did these things to him.

The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead.

This is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard He had done this sign.

Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.

Jesus answered and said, "This voice came not because of me: but for your sakes.

This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:

These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.

Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it , lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I don't condemn him, because I didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

Because I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

[because he] knew that the Father had given him all [things] into [his] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,

(For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, "Not all [of you] are clean.")

You call me 'Teacher,' and 'Lord,' and you are right in doing so because that is who I am.

For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because I am going away to prepare a place for you.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.

I assure you, he that believeth on me, shall likewise perform the works that I do; nay, greater works than these shall he do; because for that end am I going to my father.

And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son:

even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees nor knows him: but ye shall know him, for he shall dwell with you, and shall be in you.

yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more: but ye shall see me: because I shall live again, and ye shall live also.

ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over Me.

already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

'I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

These things have I said unto you because ye should not be offended.

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

But now I am going away to Him that sent me, and yet none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? but because I have said these things to you,

but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.

Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you.

concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.

He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'

Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

Now we know that you know everything and don't need to have anyone ask you any questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God."

and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

'I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

Then Jesus, [because he] knew all the things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

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

and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

Then, early in the morning they led Jesus from Caiaphas to [governor Pilate's] headquarters. But the Jewish authorities would not enter it, because [if they had] they would have become ceremonially unclean, and could not eat the Passover meal. [Note: This was because they regarded a Gentile house as defiling].

Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'

Then, when the leading priests and the [Temple] guards saw Him, they shouted out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate responded by saying, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, because I do not find him guilty of any crime."

“We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

Because of this Pilate kept on trying to set Him free, but the Jews shouted, "If you set Him free, you are no friend to the emperor. Anyone who claims to be a king is uttering treason against the emperor!"

So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Therefore they took Jesus away.

this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

and said to one another, "Let us not tear it [i.e., because of its great value], but gamble to see who gets it." [This was] so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, which said [Psa. 22:18], "They divided my clothing between themselves, and they gambled for my clothing." So, this is what the soldiers did.

The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day ), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

because these things happened so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "None of his bones will be broken."

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away.

there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.

And they say to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep?' she saith to them, 'Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;'

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Because she supposed it was the gardener, she said to Him, "If it was you, sir, who carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will remove Him."

Jesus told her, "Don't hold on to me, because I haven't yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, "I'm ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”

Jesus said, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Those who believe without seeing are blessed.”

Now as the day was dawning Jesus was [seen] standing on the shore, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus. [Note: Probably because it was not light enough yet].

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

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.

But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net of fish, because they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away.

“Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?” because they knew it was the Lord.
