These words he said in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him by force, for his hour had not yet come.

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye had done Abraham's works.

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.

Jesus said unto them - If, God, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.

Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.

And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

Then the neighbors and those who had seen him before, because he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

He answered, "The man called Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So when I had gone and washed them I could see."

They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.

Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;

The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Then they called the man who had been blind, a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born.

"If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would not have had sin; but now you say, We see, your sin remains.

This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of what Jesus had been saying.

and went away again beyond Jordan, into the place where John before had baptised, and there abode.

(It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

however, he stay'd in the place where he was, even two days after he had heard that Lazarus was sick.

And, when he had said this, he added: "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going that I may wake him."

but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

Then Jesus coming found that he had been four days in the tomb.

and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

Then when Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.

Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, and calleth for thee.

and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her, saw how quickly Mary got up and left, they followed her, assuming that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and told him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was greatly troubled in spirit and deeply moved.

Thus the people who had come to mourn said, "Look how much he loved him!"

Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.

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."

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

So, they removed the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, thank you for hearing me. [Note: Jesus had already prayed for and been assured of Lazarus' resurrection].

And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me.

And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth!

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them, "Untie him, and let him go."

Many of the Jews who had come with Mary and who had observed what Jesus did believed in him.

Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

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

But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their 'purification,' before the Festival began.

Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that whoever knew where he was should tell them so that they could arrest him.

Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

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.

When the large crowd of Jews realized that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

for the chief priests had resolved to put even Lazarus to death;

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

The next day, the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem.

And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

At first, his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify to what they had seen.

The crowd was going out to meet Jesus because they had heard that he had performed this sign.

Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.

The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.

As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

Although he had performed numerous signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,

This was so that these words, which Isaiah the prophet had spoken, would be fulfilled [Isa. 53:1], "Lord, who has believed our message? And who has the Lord's power been shown to?"

For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again;

"God has blinded their eyes [of understanding] and closed their minds. If He had not done so, they would [be able to] see with their eyes and understand with their minds and turn [to God] so He could heal them [spiritually]."

Isaiah had said these things because he saw the [coming] glory of Jesus, and [so] was speaking about Him.

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:

Now Jesus, speaking in a loud voice, had said:

Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

By supper time, the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.

Because Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his control, that he had come from God, and that he was returning to God,

Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

Jesus replied to him, "The person who has already had a bath is completely clean and does not need to wash anything but his feet. And you disciples are [already] clean [i.e., spiritually], but not every one of you."

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and told them, "Do you realize what I've done to you?

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

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

One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, had been sitting very close to him.

Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Do quickly what you are going to do!"

Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him.

Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the destitute.

He therefore, when he had taken the sop, immediately went out. And it was night.

After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;

if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.'

Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

But, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, I am [always] doing what the Father commands me to. Let us get up, and leave here." [i.e., leave the room where they had eaten the Passover meal. See 13:1 with 18:1].

"I have told you these things, that the joy which I have had may remain in you and that your joy may be complete.

If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.

If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have any sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no other did, they had not had sin:

If I hadn't done among them the actions that no one else did, they wouldn't have any sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.
