then they reviled him, and said, thou art his disciple; but we are Moses disciples.

we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him.

the man replied, that's very strange that he should make me see, and you should not know who sent him.

now 'tis certain, that God does not countenance impostors: but regards him only that is religious, and executes his commands.

they answered, you were a vicious fellow from your very birth, and do you pretend to preach to us? and then they excommunicated him.

Jesus having heard that they had excommunicated him; and meeting with the man, he said to him, do you believe on the son of God?

he answered and said, who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

Jesus said to him, not only thou hast seen him, but it is he himself that is talking with thee.

then said he to Jesus, Lord, I believe: and prostrated himself before him.

some of the Pharisees who were then present hearing this, said to him, are we likewise blind?

the porter lets him in, and the sheep know his voice: he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out to pasture.

when he lets out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice.

a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

for many of them said, he is possess'd with a demon, and is mad; why do you mind him?

the Jews came about him, and said, how long will you keep us in suspense? if you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.

then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

the Jews answered him, saying, it is not for any good work that we stone thee; but for blasphemy, inasmuch as you, being a man, pretend to be a God.

but if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him.

Thereupon they again endeavour'd to seize him: but he escaped out of their hands, and retir'd beyond Jordan,

and many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but every thing that he said concerning this man, was true.

so that many people there believed on him.

but if a man travels by night he stumbles, because there is no light for him.

thus he entertain'd them: and after that, he said to them, our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there (to the intent you may believe) but now, let us go to him.

then said Thomas, that is, Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, let us also go, that we may die with him.

Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him: but Mary stay'd at home.

Martha said to him, I know that he shall rise again at the resurrection of the last day.

no sooner she heard that, but she arose with all speed, and came to him.

for Jesus was not yet arrived in the town, but staid at the place were Martha met him.

Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

and said, where have ye laid him? they said to him, Lord, come and see.

upon which the Jews said, see how he loved him.

Jesus said, take away the stone. Martha, sister to the deceas'd, said to him, Lord, by this time he is offensive: for he hath been dead four days.

and he that was dead came forth, his body wrapt in a winding sheet: and his face bound about with a napkin. loose him, said Jesus, and let him go.

many therefore of the Jews who came to see Mary, and had seen what Jesus had done, believed on him.

if we let him go on at this rate, all will believe on him; and the Romans will come, and destroy both our temple and nation.

now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had publish'd an order, that if any man knew where he was, he should give information in order to have him seized.

there a supper was provided for him; Martha was in waiting: but Lazarus was one of the guests that sat at table with him.

whereupon one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray him,

and went to meet him, crying, "Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord."

this passage his disciples did not understand at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, they remembred how they had mounted him, and perceiv'd that those words related to him.

the people that were present testified, that he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead.

and it was upon the rumour of this miracle, that the people crowded to him.

the Pharisees therefore said among themselves, don't you perceive we lose ground? you see what a world of followers attend him.

if any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: whoever serves me, him will my father reward.

the people therefore present who heard the noise, said it was thunder: others said, an angel spake to him.

Upon which the people said to him, we have learnt from the law, that the Messiah is to live for ever: why do you say then, the son of man must be lift up? who is this son of man?

But though he had done so many miracles in their presence, yet they did not believe on him:

these things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

nevertheless there were many even among the chief rulers, who believed on him; but they did not own it publickly for fear the Pharisees should excommunicate them.

Then Jesus rais'd his voice, and said, he that believeth on me, does not so much believe on me, as on him that sent me.

and he that contemplates me, contemplates him that sent me.

but if any man hear my words, and does not believe them, it is not I that condemn him: for I came not to condemn the world, but to save the world.

he that rejecteth me, and does not embrace my doctrine, hath one that condemns him: the doctrine that I have delivered, that shall condemn him in the last day.

while they were at supper, (the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) Jesus,

rose from supper, laid aside his garment, and took a towel to wrap about him.

then coming to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, Lord, what! would you wash my feet?

Jesus answered him, you don't at present comprehend what I am about: but hereafter you shall.

Peter said to him, you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered, if I do not cleanse thee, you cannot partake with me.

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

for he knew who would betray him; therefore, said he, you are not every one of you clean.

I declare unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent, greater than he that sent him.

I declare unto you, he that receiveth him that I send, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

now the favourite disciple of Jesus sat next to him at table.

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, to ask who it was he meant.

and after he had taken the sop, Satan entred into him. then said Jesus to him, what you do, do quickly.

for as Judas had the purse, some of them thought, that Jesus had ordered him to buy what was necessary against the feast: or give something to the poor.

When he was gone, Jesus said, now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him.

as God is glorified by him, so God will glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him.

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, you cannot at present follow me, where I am going; but hereafter you shall.

Peter said to him, Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.

Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

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.

if you had known me, you would likewise have known my father: and from henceforth you shall know him, nay, you have seen him.

Philip said to him, Lord shew us the father, and we are satisfied.

Jesus said to him, have I been with you so long, and don't you know me yet? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father; why then do you say, shew us the father?

even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees nor knows him: but ye shall know him, for he shall dwell with you, and shall be in you.

he that hath received my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me, shall be beloved by my father, and I will love him, and shew my self unto him.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, why Lord, will you show your self to us, and not to the world?

Jesus answered him, he that loves me, will observe my precepts: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

I am the vine, you are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for independent of me ye can do nothing.

but all these things will they do unto you, out of hatred to my name, because they know not him that sent me.

but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going?

nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

he shall glorify me: for he will commuincate to you, the information, which I shall give him.

all that the father has is mine: that is the reason of my saying, "he shall communicate to you the information that I shall give him."

now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?"

His disciples said to him, what you say now is plain, and not enigmatical.

for thou hast given him power over all men, that he might give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

now Judas, who was to betray him, knew the place: for Jesus and his disciples had frequently assembled there.

but Jesus who knew every thing that should happen to him, advanc'd, and said to them, who do you look for?

they answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. I am he, said Jesus. and Judas who was to betray him, was also with them.

Then the soldiers, the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized on Jesus, and having bound him,

they brought him first to Annas; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest at that time:

Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

as Simon Peter then stood there warming himself: they said to him, art not thou also one of his disciples? which he denied, and said, I am not.

one of the servants of the high priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter struck off, said, did not I see thee in the garden with him?
