He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.

To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

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.

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

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

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

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

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

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

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.

Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

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

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.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

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

If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.

When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

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.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

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.

Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

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:

And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

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.

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.
