Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

They answered, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are [truly] Abraham’s children, then do the works of Abraham and follow his example.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Abraham did not thus. Ye do the deeds of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father [but He is not], you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God [out of His very presence] and have arrived here. For I have not even come on My own initiative [as self-appointed], but He [is the One who] sent Me.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?"

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

So they asked him, "How, then, did you gain your eyesight?"

"Where is he?" they inquired, but the man did not know.

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'

Some of the Pharisees then said, "The man who did this is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath day. But other people said, "How could a man who is a sinner do such [miraculous] signs?" And the people were divided among themselves [over the issue].

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

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?

from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

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

And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'

This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was of which he spoke to them.

All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

“I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in My Father’s name testify about Me.

But you did not believe because you are not of My sheep. As I said to you,

Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

and many did believe in him there.

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

I knew that You always hear Me and listen to Me; but I have said this because of the people standing around, so that they may believe that You have sent Me [and that You have made Me Your representative].”

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;

In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the Jews any more, but left that neighborhood, and went into the country bordering on the Wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.

Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.

Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor [for he had never cared about them], but because he was a thief; and since he had the money box [serving as treasurer for the twelve disciples], he used to pilfer what was put into it.

Then a great crowd of the Jews learned that He was there. And they did not come for Jesus' sake only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'

Jesus said to them, "This voice did not speak for my sake, but for yours.

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Even though He had done so many signs (attesting miracles) right before them, yet they still did not believe and failed to trust Him—

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

If anyone hears My words and doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'

but the company at table did not know what he meant by saying so.

'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

'This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

'Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

If I did not come and speak to them, they had not sin: now they have no excuse for their sin.

He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no other did, they had not had sin:

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said them unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.

I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me--'Where are you going?'

About sin because they truly did not believe in me,

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

I did come from the Father and enter the world. Now I am leaving the world again and going back to the Father."

Now we are sure that you know everything, and need not wait for any one to question you. This makes us believe that you did come from God."

I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it.

So now, Father, glorify me up there in your presence just as you did before the world existed.

I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;

'Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if [I spoke] properly, why did you hit me?"

One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
