others said, "This is the Christ;" but some said, "What? doth the Christ come out of Nazareth?"

But this multitude, who know not the law, are accursed."

they say to Him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

This they said, trying Him, that they might have whereof to accuse Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with His finger on the ground.

And He said to them, "Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

But now ye are seeking to kill Me, a Man Who hath told you the truth, which I heard from My Father: this Abraham did not.

He that is of God hears the words of God; on this account, ye hear them not, because ye are not of God."

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, 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.

The neighbors, therefore, and those formerly beholding him, that he was a beggar, said, "Is not this he that sits and begs?"

Some said, "This is he;" others said, "No, but he is like him;" he said, "I am he."

Some of the Pharisees, therefore, 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?" And there was a division among them.

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

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

On this account, his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

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

We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but, as to this Man, we know not whence He is."

The man answered and said to them, "Why, in this is the wonder, that ye do not know whence He is, and He opened my eyes.

If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing."

This parable spake Jesus to them; but they understood not what things they were which He spake to them.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and they shall become one flock, one Shepherd.

On this account My Father loveth Me, because I lay down My soul, that I may take it again.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from My Father.

And many came to Him, and said, "John, indeed, did no sign, but all things, whatsoever John spake concerning this Man, were true."

And Jesus, hearing it, said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.

Then, after this, He saith to the disciples, "Let us go into Judaea again."

Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world;

These things He spake; and after this He saith to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going to awake him out of sleep."

and whosoever lives and believes on Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

And, saying this, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, "The Teacher is present, and calleth for you."

And some of them said, "Could not This Man, Who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not die?"

The high priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? because This Man is doing many signs.

And this he said not of himself; but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for that nation;

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

And he said this, not because he cared about the poor; but because he was a thief; and, having the money-box, he was wont to carry what was put therein.

On this account also, the multitude met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

He who loves his soul loses it; and he who hates his soul in this world will keep it unto life eternal.

Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour.

On this account they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour came that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

for He knew him who would betray Him; on this account, He said, "Ye are not all clean."

From this time, I tell you before it comes to pass; that, when it comes to pass, ye may believe that I am He.

Simon Peter, therefore, beckons to this one, and says to him, "Tell us who it is about whom He is speaking."

And no one of those reclining knew for what purpose He spake this to him;

By this shall all know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another."

And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

In this was My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and become My disciples.

This is My commandment, that ye love one another, even as I loved you.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his soul for his friends.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.

but this they do, that the word may be fulfilled, which has been written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'

and respecting judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

All things whatsoever the Father hath are Mine; on this account, I said, that He taketh of Mine, and will declare it to you.

Some of His disciples, therefore, said to one another, "What is this that He saith to us, 'A little while, and ye behold Me not; and again a little while, and ye will see Me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"

They said, therefore, "What is this that He saith, 'A little while?'??e know not what He saith!"

Jesus knew that they wished to ask Him, and He said to them, "Do ye inquire among yourselves about this that I said, 'A little while, and ye behold Me not, and again a little while, and ye will see Me!'

now we know that Thou knowest all things; and hast no need that any one should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou didst come forth from God."

And this is the eternal life, that they know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou didst send.

The maiden door-keeper, therefore, says to Peter, Are you also one of this Man's disciples?" He says, "I am not."

And, when He had said this, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, saying, "Dost Thou answer the high priest thus!"

Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and says, "What accusation do ye bring against this Man?"

They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to you."

Jesus answered, "Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning Me?"

Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from hence."

Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Art Thou, then, a King?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a King. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears My voice."

Pilate says to Him, "What is truth?" And, having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find no crime in Him.

They cried out, therefore, again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

When, therefore, Pilate heard this saying, he was the more afraid;

Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority against Me, unless it were given to you from above; on this account, he who delivered Me up to you has greater sin."

In consequence of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

And, having said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced, when they saw the Lord.

And, having said this, He breathed upon them, and said to them, "Receive ye the Holy Spirit.

Many other signs, therefore, did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which have not been written in this book;

After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and He manifested Himself in this manner.

This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

Now this He spake, signifying by what manner of death he would glorify God. And, having spoken this, He saith to him, "Follow Me."

Peter therefore, seeing him, says to Jesus, "Lord, and what will this man do?"

This saying, therefore, went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; yet Jesus did not say to him, that he should not die, but, "If I wish him to remain till I come, what is it to you?"

This is the disciple who testifies concerning these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

They, therefore, having come together, were asking Him, saying, "Lord, dost Thou at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?"

who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into the heaven? This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld Him ascending into Heaven."

because he was numbered among us, and obtained the portion of this ministry.

This man, therefore, acquired a field with the reward of unrighteousness; and, falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out;

to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place."

and, when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were greatly surprised, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

And they were all amazed, and perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them, "Men of Judaea, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words;

but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel:

This Man, delivered up by the settled counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, having fastened to the cross, through the hand of lawless ones, did slay:

"Brethren! It is permitted to speak to you freely concerning the patriarch David, that he both died, and was buried; and his tomb is among us till this day;

"This Jesus God raised up; of which fact we all are witnesses.

Being, therefore, exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He was pouring forth this which ye both see and hear.

And, hearing this, they were pricked in the heart, and said to Peter, and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren! what shall we do?"

Also with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!"

But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, this I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk."
