Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.

But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,

And because he did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.

No one has ascended to Heaven, except him who descended from Heaven--the Son of Man himself.

(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),

Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!"

But far more came to believe in him on account of what he said himself,

For he himself declared that 'a Prophet is not honored in his own country.'

By this the father knew that it was at the very time when Jesus had said to him 'Your son is living'; and he himself, with all his household, believed in Jesus.

This made the Jews all the more eager to kill him, because not only was he doing away with the Sabbath, but he actually called God his own Father--putting himself on an equality with God.

So Jesus made this further reply: "In truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does also.

The Father himself does not judge any man, but has 'entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,'

The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;

He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he meant to do.

Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father--God himself--has set the seal of his approval."

The man who speaks on his own authority seeks honor for himself; but the man who seeks the honor of him that sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.

"Is he going to kill himself," the Jews exclaimed, "that he says-- 'You cannot go where I am going'?"

You are doing what your own father does." "We are not bastards," they said, "we have one Father--God himself."

At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.

"Yes," some said, "it is"; while others said: "No, but he is like him." The man himself said: "I am he."

But how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him--he is old enough- -he will tell you about himself."

Having found a young ass, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of Scripture--

While you still have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be 'Sons of Light.'" After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.

For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.

And God will exalt him with himself--yes, he will exalt him forthwith.

Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.

In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.

The servants and police-officers were standing round a char- coal fire (which they had made because it was cold), and were warming themselves. Peter, too, was with them, standing and warming himself.

Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing there, warming himself; so they said to him: "Are not you also one of his disciples?" Peter denied it. "No, I am not," he said.

"But we," replied the Jews, "have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God."

This made Pilate anxious to release him; but the Jews shouted: "If you release that man, you are no friend of the Emperor! Any one who makes himself out to be a King is setting himself against the Emperor!"

And he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a scull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.

Later on, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias.

Upon this the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: "It is the Master!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he fastened his coat round him (for he had taken it off), and threw himself into the Sea.

This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
