He came to give testimony, to testify to the light, so that everyone might come to believe in it through him.

And he made a lash out of rope, and drove them all, sheep and cattle, out of the Temple, and scattered the money-changers' coins on the ground, and overturned their tables.

For God did not send his Son into the world to pass judgment upon the world, but that through him the world might be saved.

So he came back to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. There was at Capernaum one of the king's officials whose son was sick.

While he was on the way, his slaves met him and told him that his boy was going to live.

Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk!"

And the man was immediately cured, and he picked up his mat and walked.

Now it was the Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is against the Law for you to carry your mat."

But he answered, "The man who cured me said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' "

Your forefather Abraham exulted at the thought of seeing my coming. He has seen it, and it has made him glad."

At that, the Jews picked up stones to throw at him, but he disappeared and made his way out of the Temple.

As he said this he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and he put the clay on the man's eyes,

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

Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the clay and made him able to see.

So they asked the blind man again, "What have you to say about him, because he has made you able to see?" He said, "He is a prophet!"

But we do not know how it is that he can see now, or who has made him able to see. You must ask him. He is grown up. Let him tell you about himself."

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already made an agreement that if anyone acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogues.

The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see!

It was never heard of in this world that anyone made a man born blind able to see.

Many of them said, "He is possessed and mad! Why do you listen to him?"

If those to whom God's message was addressed were called gods??nd the Scripture cannot be set aside??36 do you mean to say to me whom the Father has consecrated and made his messenger to the world, 'You are blasphemous,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming she went out to meet him, but Mary remained at home.

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

though I knew that you always listen to me. But I have said this for the sake of the people that are standing around me that they may believe that you have made me your messenger."

For the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where he was should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

got palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "God bless him! God bless him who comes in the Lord's name! Blessings on the king of Israel!"

That was why the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard that he had showed that sign.

and they went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and made this request of him: "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

"He has made their eyes blind and their minds dull, To keep them from seeing with their eyes, and understanding with their minds, And turning to me to be cured."

I do not call you slaves any longer, for a slave does not know what his master is doing, but now I call you friends, for I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.

As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true.

I have made your self known to them and I will do so still, so that the love which you have had for me may be in their hearts, and I may be there also."

Judas who betrayed him also knew the place, for Jesus often met his disciples there.

The maid at the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "No, I am not."

As it was cold the slaves and attendants had made a charcoal fire, and stood about it warming themselves. And Peter also was among them, standing and warming himself.

Jesus answered, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues or in the Temple where all the Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

And the soldiers made a wreath out of thorns and put it on his head, and put a purple coat on him, and they marched up to him,

and he went back into the governor's house and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus made no answer.

This made Pilate try to find a way to let him go, but the Jews shouted, "If you let him go, you are no friend of the emperor's! Anyone who calls himself a king utters treason against the emperor!"

As it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, in order that the bodies might not be left on the crosses over the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was an especially important one, the Jews asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

When it was evening on that first day after the Sabbath, and the doors of the house where the disciples met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came in and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you!"
