Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter;

After this he travelled down to Capharnahum, with his mother and brothers and his disciples; they stayed there for a few days.

and in so doing he arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar; it lay near the territory which Jacob had given to his son Joseph,

and Jacob's spring was there. Jesus, exhausted by the journey, sat down at the spring, just as he was. It was about noon,

(his disciples had gone to the town to buy some food).

Then the woman left her water-pot, and going off to the town told the people,

They set out from the town on their way to him.

Now many Samaritans belonging to that town believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."

when he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judaea, he went to him and begged him to come down and cure his son, who was at the point of death.

The official said, "Come down, sir, before my boy is dead."

The invalid replied, "Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath, when the water is disturbed; and while I am getting down myself, someone else gets in before me."

Now Jesus went up the hill and sat down there with his disciples.

Jesus said, "Get the people to lie down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot, so the men lay down, numbering about five thousand.

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

for I have come down from heaven not to carry out my own will but the will of him who sent me,

Now the Jews murmured at him for saying, "I am the bread which has come down from heaven."

They said, "Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he claim now, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

the bread that comes down from heaven is such that one eats of it and never dies.

I am the living bread which has come down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and more, the bread I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

Such is the bread which has come down from heaven: your ancestors ate their bread and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live for ever."

Early in the morning he returned to the temple, the people all came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

(They said this to test him, in order to get a charge against him.) Jesus stooped down, and began to write with his finger on the ground;

then he stooped down again and wrote on the ground.

I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd lays down his own life for the sheep.

(just as the Father knows me and I know the Father,) and I lay down my life for the sheep.

This is why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.

No one takes it from me, I lay it down of my own accord: I have power to lay it down and also power to take it up again; I have my Father's orders for this.

Whereupon Thomas (called 'the Twin') said to his fellow-disciples, "Let us go too, let us die along with him!"

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

But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done;

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.

Accordingly Jesus no longer appeared in public among the Jews, but withdrew to the country adjoining the desert, to a town called Ephraim; there he stayed with the disciples.

"Why was not this perfume sold for ten pounds, and the money given to the poor?"

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe, he lay down again. "Do you know," he said to them, "what I have been doing to you?

for I have been setting you an example, that you should do what I have done to you.

"Lord," said Peter, "why cannot I follow you just now? I will lay down my life for you."

Jesus replied, "Lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I tell you, before the cock crows, you will have disowned me thrice over.

To lay life down for his friends, man has no greater love than that.

They would not be guilty, if I had not done deeds among them such as no one has ever done; but, as it is, they have seen ??and they have hated ??both me and my Father.

"Am I a Jew?" said Pilate. "Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. But as the tunic was seamless, woven right down in a single piece,

they said to themselves, "Don't let us tear it. Let us draw lots to see who gets it" (that the scripture might be fulfilled, they distributed my clothes among them, and drew lots for my raiment). This was what the soldiers did.

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called 'the Twin,' was not with them when Jesus came;

Simon Peter, Thomas (who was called 'the Twin'), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the two sons of Zebedaeus, and two other disciples of his, were all together.

This was the disciple who bears testimony to these facts and who wrote them down; his testimony, we know, is true.

Now there is much else that Jesus did ??so much, that if it were written down in detail. I do not suppose the world itself could hold the written records.
