The man immediately became well, and he picked up his mat and started walking. Now that day was a Sabbath.

So the Jewish leaders told the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.

But he answered them, "The man who made me well told me, "Pick up your mat and walk.'"

They asked him, "Who is the man who told you, "Pick it up and walk'?"

The man went off and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

and he has given him authority to judge, because he is the Son of Man.

Don't be amazed at this, because the time is approaching when everyone in their graves will hear the Son of Man's voice

That man John was a lamp that burns and brightly shines, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. Yet if another man comes in his own name, you will accept him.

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass in that area, so they sat down, numbering about 5,000 men.

Do not work for food that perishes but for food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on him."

Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness and died.

Then the Jewish leaders debated angrily with each other, asking, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

So Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

What if you saw the Son of Man going up to the place where he was before?

Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, because this man was going to betray him, even though he was one of the Twelve.

The Jewish leaders kept looking for him at the festival, asking, "Where is that man?"

And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," while others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowds!"

The Jewish leaders were astonished and remarked, "How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?"

Jesus replied to them, "My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

Moses gave you circumcision not that it is from Moses, but from the Patriarchs and so you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began saying, "This is the man they are trying to kill, isn't it?

We know where this man comes from. But when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

However, many in the crowd believed in him. They kept saying, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than this man has done, will he?"

Then the Jewish leaders asked one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we won't be able to find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

What does this statement mean that he said, "You'll look for me but won't find me,' and, "Where I am, you cannot come'?"

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

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

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

Jesus answered, "If I were trying to glorify myself, my glory would mean nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, "He is our God.'

As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him.

After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he spread the mud on the man's eyes

Then the neighbors and those who had previously seen him as a beggar said, "This is the man who used to sit and beg, isn't it?"

He said, "The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, "Go to Siloam and wash.' So off I went and washed, and I received my sight."

They asked him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I don't know!"

So they brought to the Pharisees the man who had once been blind.

Some of the Pharisees began to remark, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

So they asked the formerly blind man again, "What do you say about him, since it was your eyes he healed?" He said, "He is a prophet."

The Jewish leaders did not believe that the man had been blind and had gained sight until they summoned his parents

The Jewish leaders summoned the man who had been blind a second time and told him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."

The man answered them, "This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he healed my eyes.

Ever since creation it has never been heard that anyone healed the eyes of a man who was born blind.

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

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Others were saying, "These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?"

The Jewish leaders answered him, "We are not going to stone you for a good action, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God!"

Many people came to him and kept saying, "John never performed a sign, but everything that John said about this man is true!"

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

But some of them said, "Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?"

Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, "Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days."

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them, "Untie him, and let him go."

So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs.

You don't realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed."

Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

"Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute?"

Jesus told them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus replied, "This voice is for your benefit, not for mine.

Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Jesus told him, "Whoever has bathed is entirely clean. He doesn't need to wash himself further, except for his feet. And you men are clean, though not all of you."

So Simon Peter motioned to this man to ask Jesus about whom he was speaking.

After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

If God has been glorified by him, God himself also will glorify the Son of Man, and he will do so quickly.

The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The words that you're hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.

He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, "He will take what is mine and declare it to you.'

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

I have made your name known to these men whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified through them.

I ask not only on behalf of these men, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message,

"Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.

They answered him, "Jesus from Nazareth." Jesus told them, "I AM." Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.

Jesus replied, "I told you that I am the one, so if you are looking for me, let these men go."

Caiaphas was the person who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one man die for the people.

The young woman at the gate asked Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples, too, are you?" "I am not," he replied.

Then one of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "I saw you in the garden with Jesus, didn't I?"

So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"

Then Jesus came outside, wearing the victor's crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate told them, "Here is the man!"

Since it was the Preparation Day, the Jewish leaders did not want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath, because that was a particularly important Sabbath. So they asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other man who had been crucified with him.

Nicodemus, the man who had first come to Jesus at night, also arrived, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about 100 litra.

While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, two men in white robes stood right beside them.

They asked, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you saw him go up into heaven."

When they came into the city, these men went to the upstairs room where they had been staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

(Now this man bought a field with the money he got for his crime. Falling on his face, he burst open in the middle, and all his intestines gushed out.

who was one of the men associated with us all the time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,

So they nominated two men Joseph called Barsabbas, who also was called Justus, and Matthias.

Then they prayed, "Lord, you know the hearts of all people. Show us which one of these two men you have chosen

All of them continued to be stunned and puzzled, and they kept asking one another, "What can this mean?"

"Men of Judea and everyone living in Jerusalem! You must understand something, so pay close attention to my words. These men are not drunk as you suppose, for it's only nine o'clock in the morning.

"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

In those days I will even pour out my Spirit on my slaves, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.

The sun will become dark, and the moon turn to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

"Fellow Israelis, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a man authenticated to you by God through miracles, wonders, and signs that God performed through him among you, as you yourselves know.

After he was arrested according to the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified this very man and killed him using the hands of lawless men.

Now a man who had been crippled from birth was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from those who were going into the Temple.
