Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps down ahead of me."

But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them [renewed] life [for their bodies ?], even so the Son also gives [renewed] life to [the spirits ?] of whoever He wants to.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced].

There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me;

but I know there is no love to God in you;

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

So, [when] Jesus knew that the people were about to come and forcibly take Him and make Him [their] king, He left there again and went to the high plateau [to be] alone [i.e., to pray. See Mark 6:46].

There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

Then, when they had rowed three or four miles [and were near the center of the sea], they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat; and they were [terribly] frightened.

Then they were willing to take Him on board the boat, and immediately the boat reached the [shore of the] land to which they were going.

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,

It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and there they died.

Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, even so the one who feeds on Me [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will also live because of Me.

Such is the bread which has come down from heaven: your ancestors ate their bread and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live for ever."

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

As a result of this many of His disciples abandoned Him, and no longer walked with Him.

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, because he didn't want to travel in Judea, since the Jewish leaders there were trying to kill him.

Now it was almost time for the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles [Note: This was also called "Festival of Shelters," and was one of three principal, annual Jewish festivals and commemorated the occasion of the Israelites living in tents or shelters during their forty year wandering in the desert].

So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do.

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

the world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I plainly show, that their works are evil.

So, the Jews [i.e., their authorities] began searching for Him at the Festival, and were saying, "Where is he?"

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of their fear of the Jews.

Halfway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and began teaching.

Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me.

He who speaks on his own accord seeks glory and honor for himself. But He who seeks the glory and the honor of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness or deception in Him.

"There was one thing I did," replied Jesus, "at which you are all still wondering.

yet there he is talking publickly without any opposition: are not the rulers convinc'd that he is the Messiah?

Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things [under their breath] about Him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent guards to arrest Him.

You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come.

What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come?

In the last day, the most solemn day of the feast, Jesus being there, raised his voice, and said, if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

Now, this, spake he concerning the Spirit which they who believed on him were about to receive; for, not yet, was there Spirit, because, Jesus, not yet, was glorified!

When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

So there was a division among the people because of him.

One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus), asked them,

This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

So they went away to their several homes;

At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in [their] midst,

However, when they persisted in questioning Him, He straightened up and said, “He who is without [any] sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

then Jesus raising himself, and seeing none but the woman there, he said to her, woman, where are your accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true and My decision is right; for I am not alone [in making it], but I and the Father who sent Me [make the same judgment].

"We are descendants of Abraham," was their answer, "and have never yet been in slavery to any one. What do you mean by saying 'you will be set free'?"

a slave has no right to be in the house for life: but the son is settled there.

I know that you are descended from Abraham, yet you want to kill me, because there is no room in your hearts for my teaching.

"Our father is Abraham," was their answer. "If you are Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "do what Abraham did.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him.

We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work.

Then the neighbors, who had seen the man begging previously, said, "Is not this the man who [used to] sit there and beg?"

So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, "and I washed, and now I can see."

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? --for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied.

Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.

The man answered and said to them: Why, there is some thing wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins [from head to foot], and you [presume to] teach us?” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

Jesus heard of their having put him out; and, when he had found the man, he asked: "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

"I believe, Sir," he said. And he threw himself at His feet.

Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

'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;

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

They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

And there was the festival of inauguration among the Jerusalemites, and it was winter..

The Jews again brought stones to throw at him;

Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good deeds [i.e., miracles], performed through the Father. Which one of them are you stoning me for?"

This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
