Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.

But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.

Others said, "This is the Christ!" But they rejoined, "What! Is the Christ to come from Galilee?

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?

"No man ever spoke as he speaks!" they answered.

{None} of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, [have they]?

"As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

And they went every man unto his own house:

when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.

they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

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 Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

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

They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

"The man whom they call Jesus," he answered, "made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me 'Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.' So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight."

And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath"; others said, "How can a sinner perform such Signs?" They were divided on this.

They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

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,

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?

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.

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

We know that God does not listen to sinners [i.e., when they pray]; but God does listen to the person who reveres Him and does what He wants.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

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

And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

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

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

they who have personated me, are all thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not follow them.

The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.

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

and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."

Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,

And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

And many there believed and confidently trusted in Him [accepting Him as Savior, and following His teaching].

Now Jesus loved and was concerned about Martha and her sister and Lazarus [and considered them dear friends].

"Rabbi," they replied, "the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?"

Then they said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will recover.

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

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

The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.

He asked, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."

They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: and Jesus wept.

So they removed the stone.

Then Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."

And he that was dead, came forth bound hand and foot, with grave bonds after the manner as they were wont to bind their dead withal. And his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, "Loose him, and let him go."

So then, many of the Jews who had come to [be with] Mary and who were eyewitnesses to what Jesus had done, believed in Him.

whereupon the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "Whatever is to be done?" they said. "The fellow is performing a number of Signs.

"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."

So from that day on they resolved to put him to death.

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?"

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.

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

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.

and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

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.

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

They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

When they heard the sound, the people standing by said it had thundered; others said, "An angel spoke to him."

Jesus said to them, "You will have the light only a little while longer. Go on while you still have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for those who go about in the dark do not know where they are going.

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

so that the utterance of the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what they heard from us? And to whom has the mighty arm of the Lord been shown?"

This is why they could not believe: Isaiah also said,

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."

Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.

For they loved the praise of human beings more than the praise of God.

He that refuseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him. The words that I have spoken, they shall judge him in the last day.

while they were at supper, (the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) Jesus,

(For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.
