Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them.

they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.

They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”

So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.”

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God.”

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. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’

and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.

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

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

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

Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?”

Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the one.”

So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?”

They said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

So they *said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

For this reason his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out.

Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

He answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.”

And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him.

Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “We are not blind too, are we?”

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”

The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.

The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp.

Many came to Him and were saying, “While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true.”

Many believed in Him there.

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

The disciples *said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

This He said, and after that He *said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”

The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”

Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.

Martha *said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.”

And when she heard it, she *got up quickly and was coming to Him.

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

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

and said, “Where have you laid him?” They *said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

So the Jews were saying, “See how He loved him!”

Jesus *said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, *said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus *said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, *said,

because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.”

These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.”

these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.”

Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”
