not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

Jesus answered them, 'Did not I choose you -- the twelve? and of you -- one is a devil.

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'

and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'

others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

The officers answered, 'Never so spake man -- as this man.'

but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'

Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself -- my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye -- ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

others said -- 'This is he;' and others -- 'He is like to him;' he himself said, -- 'I am he.'

they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

and he said -- 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

because of this his parents said -- 'He is of age, ask him.'

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;

and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.

according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'

others said, 'These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'

the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'

according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

and many came unto him, and said -- 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'

therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'

Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;

believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

Therefore saith one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up --

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
