Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

now it is written in your law, that the testimony of two men is valid.

Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.

Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

Then they said to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, What at the beginning, and what I tell you [now].

They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free?'

Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham's offspring:

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

You do the deeds of your father." They said to him, "We are no bastards: we have one father, even God."

"If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me.

Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

"I am not possessed by a demon," Jesus answered, "but I am showing reverence for my Father; and yet you have no reverence for me.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if anyone keeps My word [by living in accordance with My message] he will indeed never, ever see and experience death.”

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is [worth] nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

and said to him, "[Now] go and wash in the pool of Siloam (which means "sent"). So, the man left and washed [in the pool], and [when he] returned, [he was] able to see.

So the neighbors, and those who used to know him as a beggar, said, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”

Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he .

His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

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

Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

So the Pharisees asked him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He smeared mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.”

thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them.

So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:

We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Throughout history no one has ever heard of someone opening the eyes of a person born blind.

And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and [in fact] He is the one who is talking with you.”

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

the porter lets him in, and the sheep know his voice: he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out to pasture.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, 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 allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was of which he spoke to them.

The hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.

Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

But you do not believe Me [so you do not trust and follow Me] because you are not My sheep.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

"For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God."

do you now say to me whom my Father has set apart to it and sent into the world, 'You are a blasphemer,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

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

It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Jesus answered - Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth;

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

Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there [when he died], so that [now] you will believe [i.e., when you see him miraculously raised up]. But let us go to him [now]."

Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

no sooner she heard that, but she arose with all speed, and came to him.

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Now when Jesus saw her wailing and saw the Jews who accompanied her wailing, he chafed in spirit and was disquieted.

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

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."

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Now a number of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and who witnessed what he had done, believed in him.

Upon this the Chief Priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said: "What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many 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."
