"I am, said he, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, clear the way of the Lord," as said the prophet Esaias.

go thy way, said Jesus: thy son is well. and the man believed what Jesus had said to him, and went his way.

rise, said Jesus to him, take up thy bed, and go your way.

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

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 assure you, he that entreth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

Jesus talk'd to them in this figurative way: but they did not understand the meaning of his discourse.

now Jesus was riding upon a young ass, which he got by the way; as it is written,

Thomas said to him, Lord, we know not whither you are going, how then can we know the way?

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man can come to the father, but by me.

These things have I express'd in a figurative way: the time is coming when my language will be no longer enigmatical, but I shall give you a plain account relating to my father.

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. "if therefore it is me you look for, let these go their way."
