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

The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), the Jews were only recently going to stone You, and You are [thinking of] going back there again?”

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

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

He said this, and after that said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake 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 am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto 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 then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days there.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued 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 made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat 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.

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, 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 among them that came up to worship at 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 any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

The crowd therefore, which stood there and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.

Now, is there, a judging, of this world, - Now, the ruler of this world, shall 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.

Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, on account of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, for fear that they should be expelled from their Synagogues;

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

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

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;

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and 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!

Now, Father, do such honor to me in your presence as I had done me there 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."

Having said these things, Jesus left with His disciples and went across the ravine of the Kidron. There was a garden there, which He and His disciples entered.

And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.

Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and 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

And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing there struck Him [in the face], saying, "Is that any way to talk to the head priest?"

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?”

Now Simon Peter was standing there and warming himself. So they said to him, "You are not also [one] of his disciples, [are you]?" He denied [it] and said, "I am not!"

There is a custom to you, that I release unto you one during the passover. Then do you wish that I may release unto 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 of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "There is your king!"

There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

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

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved (esteemed) standing near, said to His mother, “[Dear] woman, look, [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.

Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

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

And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

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,

Stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings [neatly] lying there; but he did not go in.

Then Simon Peter came up, following him, and went into the tomb and saw the linen wrappings [neatly] lying there;

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

But Mary was still there outside the hole in the rock, weeping; and while she was weeping and looking into the hole,

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.

Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing there, and knew not that it was Jesus.

So, when it was evening on that day, [which was] the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] and the doors [of someone's house], where the disciples were gathered, were closed [i.e., probably locked] for fear of the Jewish authorities, Jesus came and stood among them. [Note: Probably Jesus passed through the closed door miraculously]. He said to them, "May there be peace in your hearts."

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

Eight days later [i.e., the following Sunday], Jesus' disciples were inside [the house] again, [but this time] Thomas was with them. The doors were [still] closed when Jesus [suddenly] stood among them [See note on verse 19] and said, "May there be peace in your hearts."

There are also many other signs (attesting miracles) that Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

As morning was breaking, Jesus [came and] stood on the beach; however, the disciples did not know 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.

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

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 which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
