And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --

The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again?

Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with him.

After he said this, he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him."

Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sake I was not there, that ye may believe:

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

When Jesus reached there, He found that Lazarus had been buried for four days.

A number of the Jews had come there to condole with Martha and Mary on their brother's death.

the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, "Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days."

As a result, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness. There he remained with his disciples.

and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.

So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts: "What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?"

There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.

And He spoke this, not because there was a care to him for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and was carrying those things cast in.

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.

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

The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

there were certain Greeks, who address'd themselves to Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, saying, sir, we would fain see Jesus.

verily, verily I say unto you, when a corn of wheat is thrown into the ground, there it lies a single grain unless it dies: but if it die, it becomes very fruitful.

If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him."

Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

There is now a judgment of this world; the ruler of this world shall now be cast out;

[So], believe in the Light [i.e., Jesus is speaking of Himself] while you [still] have the Light [with you], so that you can become enlightened people." After Jesus said these things, He left there and hid Himself from them.

There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.

And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

Peter [then] said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow you [there] even now? I am willing to die for you."

There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there weren't, I wouldn't have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you, would I?

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Thomas said to Jesus, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how could we [possibly] know the way [to get there]?"

I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of the world (Satan) is coming. And he has no claim on Me [no power over Me nor anything that he can use against Me];

there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends.

Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!

'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

Jesus answered them, 'Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; - And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me!

So now, Father, glorify me up there in your presence just as you did before the world existed.

I have made your self known to them and I will do so still, so that the love which you have had for me may be in their hearts, and I may be there also."

After Jesus had said all of this, he went with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

So Judas took a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

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

Simon Peter followed along with another disciple. [Note: Some think this refers to the apostle John himself, but there is no strong evidence in favor of that conclusion]. Now that disciple was [well-] known to the head priest, so was able to enter his courtyard with Jesus

Now the servants and the officers were standing there , having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

Upon his expressing himself thus, one of the officers there present, struck Jesus on the face, saying, answerest thou the high priest so?

Jesus replied, “If I have said anything wrong, make a formal statement about the wrong; but if [I spoke] properly, why did you strike Me?”

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.

But there is a custom for you that I should release to you one man at the Passover. Do ye wish therefore I would release to you the king of the Jews?

So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man."

And from there on Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

(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!

There they crucified him, along with two others, one on each side of him with Jesus in the middle.

And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not divide it, but cast lots for it, whose it will be, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. There

And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he kept loving standing there, he told his mother, "Dear lady, here is your son."

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

A jar of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth.

but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

And there is another passage which says--'They will look upon him whom they pierced.'

And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

Because it was the Jewish Preparation Day, and because the tomb was nearby, they put Jesus there.

And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

Bending over to look inside, he noticed the linen cloths lying there, but didn't go in.

At this point Simon Peter arrived, following him, and went straight into the tomb. He observed that the linen cloths were lying there,

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

But Mary stood without near the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept she stooped down to look into the sepulchre; and there seeth two angels in white sitting,

and she saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

After she had said this, she turned around and noticed Jesus standing there, without realizing that it was Jesus.

On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, although the doors of the room where the disciples gathered had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and there he stood among them, saying. "Peace to you!"

Jesus said to them again, "May there be peace in your hearts. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood there among and said: "Peace to you!"

There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book;

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

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).

He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any food there?" "No," they answered.

He said to them: Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you will find. They threw it, there fore, and were no longer able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish 153 of them. And although there were so many of them, the net was not torn.

This is the disciple, who testifieth of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did,

And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.
