And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?

And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.

Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.

So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

So they went out of the town and came to him.

You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

They did not see that his words were about the Father.

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?

And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:

For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.
