No one, however, was speaking openly concerning Him, for fear of the Jews.

He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He Who seeketh the glory of Him Who sent Him the Same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

And, behold, He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Did the rulers ever truly know that This is the Christ?

I know Him; because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him; and no one laid his hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come.

But of the multitude many believed on Him, and said, "When the Christ shall come, will He do more signs than those which This Man did?"

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him; and the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.

Jesus, therefore, said, "Yet a little while am I with you, and I go to Him Who sent Me.

The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, "Where is This Man about to go, that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Now, on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood, and cried, saying, "If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink.

He that believes on Me, as the Scripture said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water."

But this He spake concerning the Spirit, Whom those who believed on Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

A division, therefore, arose in the multitude because of Him.

And some of them were wishing to seize Him; but no one laid hands on Him.

The officers, therefore, came to the high priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did ye not bring Him?"

Did any one of the rulers believe on Him, or of the Pharisees?

Nicodemus says to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them),

"Does our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he does?"

They answered, and said to him, "Are you also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee arises no prophet."

And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and, having sat down, He was teaching them.

And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman taken in adultery; and, having placed her in the midst,

they say to Him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

This they said, trying Him, that they might have whereof to accuse Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with His finger on the ground.

And, as they continued asking Him, He, having raised Himself up, said to them, "Let the sinless one among you first cast a stone at her."

The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, "Thou testifiest concerning Thyself; Thy testimony is not true."

They said, therefore, to Him, "Where is Thy Father?" Jesus answered, "Ye know neither Me, nor My Father. If ye knew Me, ye would know My Father also."

These words He spake in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

They said, therefore, to Him, "Who art Thou?" Jesus said to them, "Even that which I am saying to you from the beginning.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. But He Who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

And He Who sent Me is with Me. He hath not left Me alone; because I am always doing the things that please Him."

As He spake these things, many believed on Him.

Jesus, therefore, said to those Jews who had believed on Him, "If ye abide in My word, ye are truly My disciples;

They answered Him, "We are Abraham's seed, and to no one have we at any time been in bondage; how sayest Thou, 'Ye shall be made free?'

They answered and said to Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus saith to them, "If ye are children of Abraham, ye are doing the works of Abraham.

Ye do the works of your father." They say to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father??od."

Ye are of your father the Devil; and the desires of your father ye wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of it.

The Jews answered and said to Him, "Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?"

The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that Thou hast a demon! Abraham and the prophets died; and Thou sayest, 'If any one keeps My word, he shall never taste of death!'

And ye have not known Him, but I know Him; and, if I should say, I know Him not, I shall be a liar like you. But I know Him, and I keep His word.

The Jews, therefore, said to Him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?"

They took up stones, therefore, to cast at Him; but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

We must work the works of Him Who sent Me, while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is interpreted, Sent). He went, therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbors, therefore, and those formerly beholding him, that he was a beggar, said, "Is not this he that sits and begs?"

Some said, "This is he;" others said, "No, but he is like him;" he said, "I am he."

They said, therefore, to him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

And they said to him, "Where is He?" He says, I know not."

They bring to the Pharisees him who was once blind.

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also asked him, how he received sight. And he said to them, "He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and see."

They say, therefore, to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him, seeing that He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a Prophet."

The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him, that he was blind, and received sight, until they called the parents of him who received sight,

but how he now sees, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age; he will speak for himself."

These things said his parents, because they were fearing the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that, if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

On this account, his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

Therefore, they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God: we know that this Man is a sinner."

They said, therefore, to him, "What did He do to you? how did He open your eyes?"

And they reviled him, and said, "You are His disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

We know that God heareth not sinners; but, if any one is a worshiper of God, and does His will, him He heareth.

They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us!" And they cast him out.

Jesus heard that they cast him out; and, finding him, He said, "Do you believe on the Son of God?"

And He answered, and said, "And Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?"

Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and it is He Who is talking with you."

And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him.

Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, "Are we also blind?"

To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

When he drives out all his own, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him; because they know his voice.

But a stranger they will in no wise follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers."

And many of them said, "He hath a demon, and is mad; why do ye hear Him?"

The Jews, therefore, came round about Him, and said to Him, "How long dost Thou hold us in suspense? If Thou art the Christ, tell us plainly."

The Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we stone Thee not, but for blasphemy, and because, Thou, being a Man, makest Thyself God!"

say ye of Him Whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

They were seeking, therefore, again to seize Him; and He went forth out of their hands.

And many came to Him, and said, "John, indeed, did no sign, but all things, whatsoever John spake concerning this Man, were true."

And many believed on Him there.

The sisters, therefore, sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick."

The disciples say to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone Thee; and art Thou going there again?"

but, if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

These things He spake; and after this He saith to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going to awake him out of sleep."

The disciples, therefore, said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover!"

And I am glad, for your sakes, (in order that ye may believe), that I was not there. But let us go to him."

Thomas, who is called Dydimus, said, therefore, to His fellow-disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."

Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met Him; but Mary was sitting in the house.

Martha says to Him, "I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at the last day."

She says to Him, "Yea, Lord; I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, He Who was to come into the world."

And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went to Him.

(Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.)

Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died."

and He said, "Where have ye laid Him?" They say to Him, "Lord, come and see."

The Jews, therefore, said, "Behold, how He was loving him!

Jesus saith, "Take ye away the stone." The sister of the deceased, Martha, says to Him, "Lord, already he is decaying; for he has been dead four days."

He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

Many, therefore, of the Jews who came to Mary and beheld what He did, believed on Him;

If we let Him thus alone, all will believe on Him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and our nation.

From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put Him to death.

Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where He was, he should show it, that they might seize Him.

They, therefore, made Him a supper there; and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with Him.

But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was about to betray Him, says,
