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.

So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.

Nevertheless, no one spoke openly for him from fear of the Jews.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but [is] from the one who sent me.

If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

[Someone from] the crowd answered, "You have an evil spirit [in you]; who is trying to kill you?"

Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Well, if a male child undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath, to keep the law of Moses from being broken, are you angry with me for making a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

Then some of those from Jerusalem said, Is this not the one they seek to kill?

however, we know from what quarter this man comes: but when Christ comes it will be unknown whence he came.

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.

But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, [will he]?"

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

Then, [when they] heard these words, [some] from the crowd began to say, "This man is truly the Prophet!"

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

Certain, indeed, from among them, were wishing to seize him; but, no one, thrust upon him his hands.

Nicodemus saith unto them - he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them -

Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, [are you]? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!" [[

And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Therefore I said to you that you will die [condemned] in your sins. For unless you believe that I am [the Messiah, who came from above. See verse 23], you will die [condemned] in your sins."

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

And you will know what the truth is and the truth will set you free [i.e. from bondage to sin]."

They answered, "We are descended from Abraham, and have never been anyone's slaves. How can you say to us, 'You will be set free'?"

Therefore, if the Son sets you free [from sin], you will be truly free.

I know that you are descended from Abraham, yet you want to kill me, because there is no room in your hearts for my teaching.

I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"

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

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

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.’

Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.

Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

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?

After He said these things He spit on the ground, made some mud from the saliva, and spread the mud on his eyes.

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?

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man—we don’t know where He’s from!”

“This is an amazing thing,” the man told them. “You don’t know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes!

From {time immemorial} it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind.

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

they answered, you were a vicious fellow from your very birth, and do you pretend to preach to us? and then they excommunicated him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: - He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

I am the gate; if anyone enters [the corral] through me, he will be saved [i.e., from condemnation], and will find pasture [i.e., will receive spiritual nurturing].

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:

And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock--one shepherd.

Therefore doth my father love me: because I put my life from me, that I might take it again.

no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father.

But many from among them were saying - A demon, he hath, and is raving, - Why, unto him, do ye hearken?

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; no one will snatch them from my hand.

My Father, who has given [them] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize [them] from the Father's hand.

Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;

Jesus answered them, many good works have I shewed you from my father; for which of those works would you stone me?

If he called those to whom a message from God came "gods' (and the Scripture cannot be disregarded),

They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand

Now a man was sick, Lazarus, from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

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

now Bethany being distant from Jerusalem but about fifteen furlongs,

and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

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

Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You.”

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again [from the dead]."

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.

& 31] Now as Bethany is not far from Jerusalem, only about two miles away,

when Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he sighed from his heart, and was troubled,

Whereupon the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" ??37 though some of them asked, "Could he not have prevented him from dying, when he could open a blind man's eyes?"

But some of them said, “Couldn’t He who opened the blind man’s eyes also have kept this man from dying?”

then they took away the stone from the place where the corps was laid. and Jesus lifting up his eyes to heaven said, "father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him

but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.

If we let him alone as we are doing, every one will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our City and our Nationality."

But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High-priest, for that year, said unto them - Ye, know, nothing at all;

now this he did not say from his own motion: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation:

from that day therefore, they consulted together to put Jesus to death.

Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples.

The Jewish Passover was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country to purify themselves before the Passover.

Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.

Now he did not say this because he cared about poor people, but because he was in charge of the money bag, and being a thief, he used to steal from it.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.

[So], they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting, "Hosanna [Note: See Matt. 21:9 for the meaning of this word], may He, the King of Israel, be praised, for He comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord!"

"Cease from fearing, Daughter of Zion; See, your King is coming mounted on an ass's colt!"

the people that were present testified, that he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead.
