As soon as the manager tasted the water just turned into wine, without knowing where it came from, although the servants who had drawn the water did know, he called the bridegroom

So after He had risen from the dead, His disciples recalled that He had said this, and so believed the Scripture and the statement that He had made.

(For John had not yet been put in prison.)

Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had heard that He was winning and baptizing more disciples than John --

And He had to go through Samaria.

For His disciples had gone into the town to buy some food.

for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."

for He Himself declared that a prophet had no honor in his own country.

So when He reached Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him, for they had seen everything that He had done at the feast in Jerusalem, for they too had attended the feast.

So He came back to Cana in Galilee where He had turned the water into wine. Now there was at Capernaum an officer of the king's court whose son was sick.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to Him and began to beg Him to come down and cure his son, for he was at the point of death.

Then the father knew that that was the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son is going to live." So he and his whole household believed in Jesus.

This is the second wonder-work that Jesus performed after He had come back from Judea to Galilee.

And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

Jesus saw him lying there, and when He found out that he had been in that condition for a long time, He asked him, "Do you want to get well?"

So the Jews began to say to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is against the law for you to carry your pallet."

The man who had been cured did not know who He was, for since there was a crowd at the place, Jesus had slipped away.

The man went back and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.

When they had plenty, He said to His disciples, "Pick up the pieces that are left, that nothing be wasted."

and got into a boat and started across the sea to Capernaum. Now it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terror-stricken.

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there was only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away by themselves.

Other boats from Tiberias had landed near the place where the people ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

So when they had crossed the sea and found Him, they asked Him, "Teacher, when did you get here?"

Jesus answered them, "I most solemnly say to you, you are looking for me, not because of the wonder-works you saw, but because you ate the loaves and had plenty.

But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He went up too, not publicly but, as it were, privately.

Then Moses gave you the rite of circumcision -- not that it had its origin with Moses but with your earlier forefathers -- and you circumcise a male child even on the Sabbath.

Then they kept on trying to arrest Him, and yet no one laid a hand on Him, for the time had not yet come.

By this He referred to the Spirit that those believing in Him were going to receive -- for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

One of them, Nicodemus, who had formerly gone to Jesus, said to them,

Early the next morning, He had come into the temple again, and all the people were gathering around Him. Having sat down, He began to teach them.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in adultery. And standing her in the middle,

He said these things in the treasury as He was teaching in the temple, and yet no one ventured to arrest Him, because the time had not yet come for Him.

As He passed along, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

He answered, "The man called Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So when I had gone and washed them I could see."

They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

Now it was on the Sabbath when Jesus had made the clay and caused the man's eyes to see.

So the Pharisees again asked him how he had come to see. He answered them: "He put some clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and so now I can see."

But the Jews did not believe that he had really been blind and that he had come to see again, until they called the parents of the man who saw again,

His parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone owned Jesus as the Christ, he should be shut out of the synagogues.

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know this man is a sinner."

If this man had not come from God, He could not have done anything like this."

Jesus heard that they had turned the man out of the synagogue; so He found him and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man yourself?"

But Jesus had spoken about his death. However, they supposed that He was referring to falling into a natural sleep.

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

and a goodly number of Jews had come out to see Martha and Mary, to sympathize with them over their brother.

Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

for He had not yet come into the village, but He was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

When Mary came where Jesus was and saw Him, she threw herself at His feet, and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

So when Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping too, He sighed in sympathy and shook with emotion,

Thus many of the Jews, who came to see Mary and who saw what Jesus had done, believed in Him;

but some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.

Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone should learn where He was, he should let it be known so that they might arrest Him.

Now six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus lived, whom He had raised from the dead.

A goodly number of the Jews learned that He was at Bethany, and so they came there, not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

The next day the vast crowd that had come to the feast, on hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,

His disciples at the time did not understand this, but after Jesus was glorified, they remembered that this had been written about Him and that they had fulfilled it in His case.

The crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead, kept on talking about it.

This is why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this wonder-work.

Although He had performed so many wonder-works right before their eyes, they did not believe in Him,

Before the Passover feast started, Jesus knew that His time had come for Him to leave the world and go to the Father, and as He had loved His own in the world He loved them to the last.

So Jesus, while supper was on -- although He knew that the devil had suggested to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him --

because He was sure that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going back to God,

So when He had washed their feet and had put on His clothes and taken His place at the table, He said to them again: "Do you understand what I have done to you?

for some of them were thinking, as Judas had the purse, that Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

When he had left, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him,

"I have told you these things, that the joy which I have had may remain in you and that your joy may be complete.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done things among them that no one else has ever done, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have seen and even hated both my Father and me.

When Jesus had said all these things, He lifted His eyes to heaven and said: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that He may glorify you,

Now Judas, too, who betrayed Him, knew the spot, because Jesus had often met with His disciples there.

He said this that the statement He had just made might be fulfilled, "I have not lost one of those whom you have given me."

So Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their welfare that one should die for the people.

Because it was cold, the slaves and attendants had made a charcoal fire and were standing about it warming themselves; so Peter too was standing among them warming himself.

After He had said this, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus in the face, and said, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"

One of the high priest's slaves, who was a kinsman of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"

So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.

Jesus answered him, "You would have no power at all over me, if it had not been given to you from above. So the man who betrayed me to you is more guilty than you."

On hearing this Pilate had Jesus brought out and had Him sit on the judge's bench at the place called the Stone Platform, or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Pilate had a placard written and had it put over the cross: "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, except the coat, which was without a seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom,

So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.

Now Nicodemus also, who had formerly come to Jesus at night, went and took a mixture of myrrh and aloes that weighed about one hundred pounds.

There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, and she saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

but the handkerchief which had been over His face was not lying with the bandages, but was folded up by itself in another place.

So then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside and saw, and he came to believe it.

For they had not previously understood the Scripture which said that He must rise from the dead.

and saw seated there two angels in white robes, one at the head, one at the feet, where Jesus' body had lain.

Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had told her this.

In the evening of that same first day of the week, even with the doors of the room bolted where the disciples had met for fear of the Jews, Jesus went in and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you!"

So that disciple whom Jesus used to love tenderly said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he belted on his fisherman's coat, for he had taken it off, and plunged into the sea.

This was now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead.

After they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, are you more devoted to me than you are to these things?" Peter answered Him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I tenderly love you." Jesus said to him, "Then feed my lambs."

He said this to point out the sort of death by which Peter was to glorify God. So after He had said this, He said to Peter, "Keep on following me!"
