Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Then He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter [of the banquet].” So they took it to him.

Therefore there arose a controversy between John’s disciples and a Jew in regard to purification (ceremonial washing).

In these porticoes lay a great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, withered, [waiting for the stirring of the water;

So Jesus answered them by saying, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way.

But the testimony which I have is far greater than the testimony of John; for the works that the Father has given Me to finish—the very same works [that is, the miracles and proofs of My deity] that I am [now] doing—testify about Me, [by providing evidence] that the Father has sent Me.

Do not think that I [am the One who] will accuse you before the Father. There [already] is one who accuses you: Moses, [the very one] in whom you have placed your hope [for salvation].

[Now some] other small boats from Tiberias had come in near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

But [still] there are some of you who do not believe and have faith.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Is this not the Man they want to kill?

Listening to these words, some of the people said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”

Others said, “This is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)!” But others said, “Surely the Christ is not going to come out of Galilee, is He?

Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Some said, “It is he.” Still others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man.”

Then some of the Pharisees said, “This Man [Jesus] is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner (a non-observant Jew) do such signs and miracles?” So there was a difference of opinion among them.

Some Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “Are we also blind?”

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place [on the stone wall], that one is a thief and a robber.

So [even] when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed in the same place two more days.

Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

But some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the blind man’s eyes, have kept this man from dying?”

But some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Now there were some Greeks (Gentiles) among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the one who receives and welcomes whomever I send receives Me; and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me [in that same way].”

After [Judas had taken] the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly [without delay].”

Some thought that, since Judas [as the treasurer of the group] had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he was to give something to the poor.

Some of His disciples said to one another, “What does He mean when He tells us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I am going to My Father’?”

So Judas, having obtained the Roman cohort and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

So when it was evening on that same day, the first day of the week, though the disciples were [meeting] behind barred doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”

And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat (starboard) and you will find some.” So they cast [the net], and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great catch of fish.

But the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

This is the same disciple who is testifying to these things and has recorded them; and we know [without any doubt] that his testimony is true.
