it is the action of the mind that vivifies, that of the body profits nothing: the words that I have delivered to you, spiritually understood, give life.

but Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.

and we have believed and we have acknowledged that you are the Christ, the son of God.

Jesus answered them, have I not chosen you all twelve, and yet one of you is an avowed enemy?

when the officers return'd to the chief priests and Pharisees, they asked them, why have ye not brought him?

have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?

they said this only to ensnare him, that they might have some accusation against him. but Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

Jesus then having reassumed his discourse, said to them, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

then said they to him, where is thy father: Jesus answered, ye neither know me, nor my father: if ye knew me, ye would have known my father also.

I have many things to say against you: but I only say He that sent me is worthy of belief; and what I have heard of Him, that only I publish to the world.

Jesus said therefore to them, when ye have lift up the son of man, then shall ye know what I am, and that I do nothing of my self, but speak as my father hath instructed me.

what I have learnt from my father, that I tell: and what you have learnt from your father, that you do.

but now ye seek to kill me, the man who has told you the truth, such as I have learnt it of God: Abraham did not act thus.

your actions are like your father. at this they reply'd, we are no bastards; we have but one father, even God.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

yet ye have not known him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a lyar like you: but I know him, and observe his commands.

then said the Jews to him, you are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

I have already told you that, said he, and did you not hear it? why would ye hear it over again? have you likewise a mind to be his disciples?

they who have personated me, are all thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not follow them.

the thief comes only to steal, to kill, and destroy: but I am come that they might have life, and have it with all its advantages.

other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring; they will hear my voice; and so there shall be but one fold, and one pastor.

no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father.

Jesus answered them, many good works have I shewed you from my father; for which of those works would you stone me?

and said, where have ye laid him? they said to him, Lord, come and see.

but some of them said, this man who has given sight to the blind, could not he have prevented Lazarus's death?

now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had publish'd an order, that if any man knew where he was, he should give information in order to have him seized.

the poor you will always have with you; but me you will not always have.

father, glorify thy name." then there came this voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

Upon which the people said to him, we have learnt from the law, that the Messiah is to live for ever: why do you say then, the son of man must be lift up? who is this son of man?

Jesus answer'd them, yet a little while is the light with you: walk while ye have the light, lest darkness surprize you: for he that walketh in darkness, does not know whither he goes.

while ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. after having said these things, Jesus retir'd, and conceal'd himself from them.

he that rejecteth me, and does not embrace my doctrine, hath one that condemns him: the doctrine that I have delivered, that shall condemn him in the last day.

for I have not spoken for my self; but the father who sent me, he commission'd me, what I should teach, and what I should speak.

after he had washed their feet, he took his garment, and setting down again, he said to them, do you comprehend what I have been doing?

if I then, tho' lord and master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

for I have given you example, that you might behave to one another, as I have to you.

I say not this of you all; for I know whom I have chosen: and that passage of the scripture must be fulfilled, "He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me."

Jesus answered, he it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have made it. and when he had made the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

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."

in my father's house are many mansions; however, I have told you, I am going to prepare a place for you:

and when I am gone, and have prepar'd a place for you, I will come again, to take you with me, that where I am there ye may be also.

if you had known me, you would likewise have known my father: and from henceforth you shall know him, nay, you have seen him.

Jesus said to him, have I been with you so long, and don't you know me yet? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father; why then do you say, shew us the father?

he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me.

this is what I have to tell you, for the little time that I am with you.

but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

ye have heard me say, "I am going away, and shall come again unto you." if ye loved me, ye would rejoice at my going to the father: for the father is greater than I.

this I have told you now, before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe. my conversation will now be but short with you,

you are already clean by the instructions I have given you.

my father will be honour'd by your bearing much fruit, and you will have the honour of being my disciples.

as the father has loved me, and I have loved you: so do you persevere in your love to me.

These things have I spoken to you, that you might have some present comfort, and that hereafter your joy might be compleat.

this is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

you will be my friends, if you do what I have commanded you.

henceforth I do not treat you as servants; for the servant is unacquainted with his master's affairs: but I have treated you as friends; for what I have learnt of my father, I have communicated to you.

if you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you.

remember what I told you, "the servant is not greater than his master." if they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have been spies upon my discourse, they will be so upon yours.

if I had not appear'd, and inform'd them, they would have been innocent: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father.

and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

I have told you these things that ye may not be discouraged.

and thus will they treat you, because they have not known the father, nor me.

but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you.

I have yet many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them now;

hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be compleat.

These things have I express'd in a figurative way: the time is coming when my language will be no longer enigmatical, but I shall give you a plain account relating to my father.

for the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I had my mission from God.

now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God.

these things I have appriz'd you of, that ye might repose your confidence in me. the world shall give you trouble: but take courage, I have overcome the world.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

I have displayed thy name among those whom you have chosen out of the world for me: thine they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept thy word.

for I have given to them the instructions which you gave me; and they have received them; and have sincerely believ'd that I came from thee, and are persuaded that thou didst send me.

by your authority I have kept them, during my being with them in the world: those that you gave me I have kept, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition: according as the scripture foretold.

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

as thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

and the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may have a perfect union, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

O righteous father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

to them I have declared thy name, and will declare it: that thou mayst love them as thou hast loved me, and I have loved them."

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. "if therefore it is me you look for, let these go their way."

so that what he said was accomplished, "of those which thou gavest me, have I lost none."

Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

Jesus replied, if I have said any thing injurious, show then wherein; but if I said right, why do you smite me?

they answered him, if he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him to you.

Pilate answered, am I a Jew? your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, I should have had my guards to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews: whereas my kingdom is of another nature.

but as it is customary with you to get me to discharge some prisoner at the time of the passover, would you have me release the king of the Jews?

the Jews answered him, we have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he pretended to be the son of God.

Jesus answered, you could not have any power over me, except you deriv'd it from above: therefore they who delivered me into your hands are the most culpable.

but they cried out, away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, shall I crucify your king? the chief priests answered, we have no king but Cesar.

Pilate answered, what I have writ, I have writ.

upon this she went in great haste to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, they have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

and they said to her, woman, why do you weep? "because, said she, they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him."

Jesus said to her, woman, why do you weep? who do you look for? she supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, sir, if it be you that have convey'd him away; tell me where you have laid him, and I will take care to have him remov'd.

the other disciples therefore said to him, we have seen the Lord. but he said to them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

Jesus said to him, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.

but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Messias, the son of God, and that believing ye might have life through his name.

then said Jesus, my lads, have ye any fish?

Jesus said to them, bring some of the fish you have now caught.

Jesus said, if I will have him stay till I come, what have you to do with that? do you follow me.
