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.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

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:

but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself.

These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

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

He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

I have already told you that, said he, and did you not hear it? why would ye hear it over again? have you likewise a mind to be his disciples?

They ridiculed him: “You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’ disciples.

We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.

We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that."

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

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

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

And some of the Pharisees that were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we blind also?

Jesus said to them, if you were blind, you would be excusable; but since you own that you see, you stand convicted.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.

Then said Jesus unto them again, "Verily, verily I say unto you: that I am the door of the sheep.

All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them :

I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,

just like the Father knows me [intimately] and I know the Father [that way]. And I [am about to] give up my life for the sheep.

But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

Others said, These sayings are not those of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?

At that time came the Feast of Rededication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe me: the works that I do in my father's name, they testify of me.

The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.

it is I that give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any one force them out of my hand.

my father who gave them me, is greater than all: so that no one is able to force them out of my father's hand.

Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could 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.

And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods?

how can you say that I blaspheme, I whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, because I said I am the son of God?

If I am not doing the things that my Father is doing, do not believe me.

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.

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.

(it was that Mary who perfum'd the Lord with ointment, after having wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

when Jesus heard that, he said, the disease is not to be mortal, but is design'd for the glory of God, that the son of God might be glorified thereby.

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. So after he had heard that he was sick,

however, he stay'd in the place where he was, even two days after he had heard that Lazarus was sick.

Then after that, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.”

"Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in the day? he that travels by day does not stumble, because he has the light of this world to see by.

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

Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.

Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sake I was not there, that ye may believe:

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.

When Jesus was arriv'd, he found that Lazarus had been then four days in the grave.
