because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'

others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

The officers answered, 'Never so spake man -- as this man.'

but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'

Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself -- my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye -- ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --

'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

others said -- 'This is he;' and others -- 'He is like to him;' he himself said, -- 'I am he.'

they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

and he said -- 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

because of this his parents said -- 'He is of age, ask him.'

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;

and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.

according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'

others said, 'These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'

the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'

according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

and many came unto him, and said -- 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'

therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'

Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;

believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

Therefore saith one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up --

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;'

and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'

he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep it;

now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?'

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

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

And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;

'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,

and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'

Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'

for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'
