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

Now the Passover, the Jewish festival, was near.

Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"

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

and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

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

When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

Then what if you would 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 who would betray him.

Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.

Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.

There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."

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

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Hasn't the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

They, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

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. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."

Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

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

The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

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

He therefore answered, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

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

It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.

Then the Judeans who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"

So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."

Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.

Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

"Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"

Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

On the next day a great crowd had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

Because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me."

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I tell you that one of you will betray me."

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' chest.

Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to inquire who it was he was talking about.

He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' chest, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

Therefore, having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately; and it was night.

But I have told you these things, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

While I was with them, I kept them in your name which you have given me; I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, saying, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your King."

Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Therefore many Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

Therefore the Jewish leaders, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;

but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been placed.

Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and did not know that it was Jesus.
