But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.

And in [addition to] all these [things], a great chasm has been established between us and you, so that those who want to cross over from here to you are not able [to do so], nor can they cross over from there to us.'

"And which of you who has a slave plowing or shepherding [sheep] who comes in from the field will say to him, 'Come here at once [and] recline at the table'?

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

Whatever person tries to gain [everything to satisfy him in] life [here on earth] will lose it [i.e., never ending life]. But whatever person [is willing to] lose [the comforts and security of] his life [here on earth] will preserve it [for eternity].

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

The Pharisee stood [ostentatiously] and began praying to himself [in a self-righteous way, saying]: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men—swindlers, unjust (dishonest), adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

Peter said, "Here we have left home and followed you."

Here there was a man named Zaccheus, who was tax-commissioner of the district, and he was a rich man too.

Zacchaeus however stood up, and addressing the Lord said, "Here and now, Master, I give half my property to the poor, and if I have unjustly exacted money from any man, I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount."

And Jesus said of him, "To-day salvation has come to this house, since Zacchaeus here is a son of Abraham.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

But these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring [them] here and slaughter them [in] my presence!'"

saying, Go into the village over against you, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no child of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it here.

"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' Simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"

But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. 'Here is the heir!' they said. 'Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.'

There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.

They said to Him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut 25:5] that if a man's brother dies, leaving his widow [behind] without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children [by her]. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother's.

And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.

and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

And last of all, the woman came to her end.

In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.

for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And when you hear of wars and uprisings [going on], do not be afraid, for such things must necessarily happen first. But the end will not come right away." [Note: By "the end" here Jesus probably alludes to the downfall of Jerusalem, in AD 70, with its attending destruction of the Temple buildings].

there will be great earthquakes with famine and pestilence here and there, there will be awful portents and great signs from heaven.

But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

then said Jesus to the chief priests, the officers of the temple, and the rulers, who were come to take him, are you come here with swords and staves as in pursuit of a robber?

And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this man was with him.

Here they began to make the following charges against Him: "We have found this fellow corrupting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar and claiming to be a king himself."

But they insisted, saying, "He incites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea and beginning from Galilee as far as here."

and said to them, "You brought this man to me on a charge of turning the people from allegiance, and here in your presence I have examined Him and do not find Him guilty of the charges you make against Him.

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?”

And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

And I will send down upon you what my Father has promised. But you, on your part, must stay right here in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

[Eventually] this Word became a human being and lived among us [Note: The word "lived" here refers to pitching a temporary tent]. (And we saw His splendor; such splendor as belongs to the Father's only Son), full of God's favor and truth.

Now here is John's testimony. When the Jews of Jerusalem despatched priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

Jesus answer'd her, woman, leave that affair to me, is not that my concern?

And to the ones selling the doves he said, "Take these [things] away from here! Do not make my Father's house {a marketplace}!"

If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?

and they came and told John, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the opposite side of the Jordan, the man to whom you bore testimony ??here he is, baptizing, and everybody goes to him!"

where a woman of Samaria being come to draw water, Jesus said to her, give me to drink.

Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.)

Jesus answered her, if you knew the dispensation of God, and who it is that says to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

Jesus answered her, they that drink of this water, will be thirsty again:

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw [water]!"

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

Jesus told her, "You are quite right in saying, "I don't have a husband,' because you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."

Jesus said to her, woman, believe me, the time is coming when it shall be neither on this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem that ye shall worship the father.

But an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such [people] [to be] his worshipers.

Jesus said to her, I that am talking with you am he.

Upon this his disciples came, and were surpriz'd at his conversing with the woman: yet none of them said, what did you ask her? or, why do you talk with her?

the woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people, come,

"Come, here is a man who has told me everything I ever did! Do you suppose he is the Christ?"

For here the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.'

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not receive honor in his own country. [Note: Jesus' reference here to his "own country" means Judea, while in Matt., Mark and Luke it refers to Nazareth].

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

here am I, come in the name of my Father, and you will not accept me: let someone else come in his own name, and you will accept him!

Philip answered Him, "Not even two hundred coins' worth of bread would be enough to feed them if everyone ate only a little bit." [Note: The amount here indicated was two hundred days of a farm laborer's pay, or about $14,000 in 1994].

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, Here is a lad, who hath five barley-loaves and two small fishes:

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

And He says to them, I am here; fear not.

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

But here is the bread that comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat it and never die.

It is the Holy Spirit who [Note: The Greek word here is "that" instead of "who"] gives life [i.e., understanding the spiritual nature of Jesus' teaching can produce spiritual life]; the flesh is of no value [i.e., understanding Jesus' teaching only in a physical sense makes it worthless]. The words I have spoken to you are [from the] Holy Spirit and [they give] life.

So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.

Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.

You men go [on] up to the festival, but I am not going up yet [Note: Although "yet" appears in only a few manuscripts, it seems to be the proper idea here], because my time has not yet come. [See verse 6].

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?

I do know him, because I come from him, and he has sent me here."

But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

So, [when] the Temple guards [See verse 32] returned to the leading priests and Pharisees, they were asked, "Why did you not bring Jesus here?"

And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

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

Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

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.

And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

Lord, said she, no man. and Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Here I am testifying to myself, and the Father who has sent me testifies to me."

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, who was of Bethany, the town of Mary, and of Martha her sister.

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

now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Lord, said Martha to Jesus, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

Jesus said to her, your brother shall rise again.

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me shall live even though he were dead:

"Yes, Lord," she said, "I do believe you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world" ??28 and with these words she went off to call her sister Mary, telling her secretly, "The Teacher is here, and he is calling for you."

When she had said this, she went privately to call Mary her sister, saying, the master is come, and calls for you.

the Jews then who were with Mary in the house to comfort her, when they saw that she rose in such haste, and went out, followed her, saying, she is going to the grave to weep there.

Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.
