Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

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

Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

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

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

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.

And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you.

And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.

Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.

(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,

Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

I have said all this to you while I am still with you.

After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.
