The Logos became incarnate, and had his tabernacle among us, being full of grace and truth; and we contemplated his glory, such glory as the Monogenes derived from the father.

then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, said, what do you seek? they answered him, rabbi, that is to say master, where do you dwell?

the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes, or whither it goes: such is the change in every one that is renewed by the spirit.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

I do not by this seek your applause.

Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, you seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye had loaves to eat, and were filled.

for no body acts in private, that designs to distinguish himself: since you do such things, shew yourself to the world.

Then some that belong'd to Jerusalem, said, is not this he whom they seek to kill?

ye shall seek me, but shall not find me: and where I shall go, thither ye cannot come.

what does he mean by saying, "ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, thither ye cannot come?"

but the populace, who are ignorant of the law, are such wretches.

now Moses has ordain'd in the law, that such criminals should be stoned: but what is your opinion?

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

I know you are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my doctrine doth not penetrate into you.

but now ye seek to kill me, the man who has told you the truth, such as I have learnt it of God: Abraham did not act thus.

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.

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

(it was that Mary who perfum'd the Lord with ointment, after having wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

his two sisters therefore sent this message to Jesus; he, Lord, whom you love, is sick.

however, he stay'd in the place where he was, even two days after he had heard that Lazarus was sick.

the Jews then who were with Mary in the house to comfort her, when they saw that she rose in such haste, and went out, followed her, saying, she is going to the grave to weep there.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Jesus said, this voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

my dear children, I am with you but for a little while. you shall seek me: but as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, "where I am going you cannot come."

Peter said to him, Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.

Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you.

if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father.
