After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Nevertheless, no one would speak openly about him because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.

The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

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

Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him come to me and drink.

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.

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

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.

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

Yet even if I should judge, my judgment would be valid, because it is not I alone who judges, but I and the one who sent me.

They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would've known my Father, too." He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

And so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins."

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

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 said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the eager desires of your father will ye do. He was slaying men from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he would speak a lie, he speaks of his own things; for he is a liar, and the father of him.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is [worth] nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

Yet you do not know Him, but I know Him fully. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him and keep His word.

Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw [it] and was glad."

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

Now the Jews would not believe he had been born blind and had regained his sight, till they summoned the parents of the man who had regained his sight

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

(His parents said these [things] because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him [to be] Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

If this man were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

They retorted, "And so you would teach us ??you, born in utter depravity!" Then they expelled him.

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

And when he would put forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger they would not follow, but they will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers.

All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them.

Jesus answered them, "I did tell you, but you would not believe me. The [miraculous] deeds that I am doing in my Father's name [i.e., by the Father's authority] testify about me.

And seeing this, Jesus said: "I have done before your eyes many good actions, inspired by the Father; for which of them would you stone me?"

"It is not for any good action that we would stone you," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy; and because you, who are only a man, make yourself out to be God."

But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This illness will not result in [his] death, but was intended to bring honor to God, so that the Son of God would be honored by it."

His disciples said unto him, "Master, the Jews lately sought means to stone thee, and wilt thou go thither again?"

Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.

When Mary came [to the place] where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,

But some of them said, "Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do [something] so that this man also would not have died?"

Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe [in Me], you will see the glory of God [the expression of His excellence]?”

I know that you always hear me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so they would believe that you sent me."

On saying this, He shouted aloud, "Lazarus, come out!"

And you are not taking into consideration that it would be profitable to you for one man to die for the people, so that the entire nation would not be destroyed."

Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)

Then from that day they passed the verdict, that they would kill Him.

Then Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

So the chief priests decided that they would kill Lazarus also,

took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud - Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, - even the King of Israel!

The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

if any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: whoever serves me, him will my father reward.

He said this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

in order that the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, "Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so that they would not see with their eyes
or understand with their hearts,
and be converted,
and I would heal them.

Nevertheless, even many of the leading men believed in Him [as Savior and Messiah], but because of the Pharisees they would not confess it, for fear that [if they acknowledged Him openly] they would be put out of the synagogue (excommunicated);

But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness.

Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, [and] having loved [his] own in the world, loved them to the end.

And supper having occurred, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he would betray him,

then coming to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, Lord, what! would you wash my feet?

Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou wilt know hereafter.

(For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, "Not all [of you] are clean.")

"I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, 'The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

a new commandment I give unto you, "that ye love one another; that you would have the same love for one another as I have had for you."

Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, whither dost thou go? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou wilt follow me afterward.

"Lord, why can't I follow you now?" Peter asked him. "I would lay down my life for you!"

Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

If any one does not remain united to me, he is thrown away, as a branch would be, and withers up. Such branches are collected and thrown into the fire, and are burnt.

No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.

You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works (attesting miracles) which no one else [ever] did, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now [the fact is that] they have both seen [these works] and have hated Me [and continue to hate Me] and My Father as well.

But [this happened] so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, 'They hated me without a reason.'

[Jesus continued], "I have told you these things so that you men would not fall away [i.e., from the faith].

But, I, the truth, am telling you - It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you.

Jesus perceived that they would ask him, and said unto them, "This is it that ye enquire of between yourselves, that I said, 'After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see me.'

In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, but your grief will be turned into gladness.

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded [them], and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.

I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

in order that the word that he had spoken would be fulfilled: "Those whom you have given to me--I have not lost anyone of them."

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's residence. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the governor's residence so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.

They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

in order that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled that he had spoken, indicating by what sort of death he was going to die.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Pilate therefore said to him, Then thou a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears m
