"What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied.

Then said they to him. "Who are you? That we may give some answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"

so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.

Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated 'Teacher'), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come, and you shall see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon.

And when the wine ran short, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."

So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.

after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;

Then some of John's disciples got into a controversy with a Jew in regard to purification; so they came to John and said to him.

They left the city and set out to go to him.

"Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."

Do you not say, 'It wants yet four months, and then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you! Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, that they are already white for harvest.

So when the Samaritans arrived, they began asking him to remain with them; and he stayed there two days.

Then many more believed because of what he said, himself; and they told the woman.

When he reached Galilee, however, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they, too, had been at the feast.

So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one o'clock, the fever left him."

"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'take up your bed and go walking away'?"

"in order that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

"You are searching the Scriptures because you suppose that in tem you have eternal life; and though these are they that bear witness concerning me,

A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,

and when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves??he broken pieces that were left after they had eaten.

So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come into the world."

When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.

There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,

After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;

Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.

So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,

when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

"What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"

The they said to him. "What sign, then, are you performing, so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you doing?

"Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread."

Then the Jews began to find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking.

"It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me.

"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they died.

So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said: "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"

"Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him.

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."

Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?

"And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?

Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"

"As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"

In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."

Then they departed each to his own house.

when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.

(This they said to tempt him, so that they could bring a charge against him.)

But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her."

When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus was left behind alone??nd the woman in the middle of the court.

Then Jesus raised himself up and said to her. "Woman, where are they? Has no man condemn you,"

"Where is your Father?" they asked him. "You have neither known me nor my Father," answered Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have known my father also."

"Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered.

They did not understand that he meant the Father,

"We are descendants of Abraham," they replied, "and have never been in slavery to any man. What do you mean by saying, 'You shall become free'?"

"Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you are indeed Abraham's children," said Jesus "do the deeds of Abraham.

"You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."

Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.

So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

"Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.

Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,

and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.

"What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"

Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses' disciples.

They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

"When he has brought all his own sheep, he walks before them and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

"But a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was talking about; so he said to them again.

"The thief never comes except to steal and kill and destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it in abundance.

"I have other sheep also, which do not belong to this fold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

"My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me.

"I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, nor shall any one snatch them out of my hand.

Then again they attempted to seize him, but he escaped out of their hands,

Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.

Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

"Where have you laid him?" he said: "Master, come and see," they answered.

Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said:

"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."

So from that day they plotted to kill him.

So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think??hat he will not come to the feast at all?"

Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.

So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.

When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to him.

For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.

these came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we want to see Jesus."

With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.
