When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time.

Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.

[Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]

(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him.

But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

Now there was also an inscription above Him, “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”

And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”

It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour,

because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent.”

And a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council, a good and righteous man

(he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God;

It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

Now the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”

They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”

They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

He *said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”

But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.

John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized—

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.”

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and his whole household.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]

A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.”

But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

After these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was near.

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”

Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.

But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court.

And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.
