From that time many of his disciples withdrew, and associated no longer with him.

Simon Peter answered Him, "To whom can we go, Lord? You have the message that gives eternal life,

And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

After that Jesus went about into Galilee, and would not go about in Jewry, for the Jews sought to kill him.

But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.

for no body acts in private, that designs to distinguish himself: since you do such things, shew yourself to the world.

For even Jesus' [half-] brothers did not believe in Him [i.e., at that time].

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

That was what he told them, and he stayed on in Galilee.

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?

And there was a great deal of grumbling about Him among the crowds, some saying that He was a good man, and others that He was not, but was misleading the masses.

No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

And the Jews marveled, saying, "How knoweth he the scriptures, seeing that he never learned?"

Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself.

He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

was it not Moses who gave you the law, and yet none of you observe that law?

Jesus answered them, I perform'd one single miracle on the sabbath, and does that alarm you?

Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?

Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just."

Then some that belong'd to Jerusalem, said, is not this he whom they seek to kill?

And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his Messenger."

But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.

Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me.

The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

so that the people were divided in their opinions about him.

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like that!"

Is it not true that not any of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed into him?

But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

Search and see, that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And every man went to his own house.

now Moses has ordain'd in the law, that such criminals should be stoned: but what is your opinion?

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

but they who heard that, being convicted by their own conscience, they all went old and young one after another, so that Jesus was left alone with the woman, who still kept her place.

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

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."

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am he , ye shall die in your sins.

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he , and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.

And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham's offspring:

I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

what I have learnt from my father, that I tell: and what you have learnt from your father, that you do.

They answered Him, "Our forefather was Abraham." Jesus replied to them, "If you were Abraham's descendants, you would do the [kinds of] deeds that Abraham did.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

Why is it that you misunderstand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to what I teach.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own [nature], because he is a liar and the father {of lies}.

But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

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

In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death."

The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.

Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day; he saw it and rejoiced.”

Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am.

At that, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple complex.

As Jesus passed by, he saw a man that was born blind.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be 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 that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

Others were saying, "It is this man"; others were saying, "No, but he is like him." That one was saying, "I am [he]!"

So they said to him, "Then how does it happen that you can see?"

He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

And they said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

The day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.

They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

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

and ask'd them, is this your son, who you say was born blind? how came it then that he now sees?

His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
