And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray.

Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, this man is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.

And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?

I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.

They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.

But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him.

Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.

The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

So there became a division among the multitude because of him.

And some of them wanted to taken him, but no man laid hands on him.

The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?

Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them),

They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.

And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.

And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,

tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.

But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.

And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.

The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.

They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.

Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.

I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.

And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.

As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,

They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?

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

Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.

Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his

Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age.

And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.

The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?

Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.

And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, He who has been sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbors therefore and those who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is this not he who sits and begs?

Others said, He is this man, but others said, He is like him. That man said, I am.

They said to him therefore, How were thine eyes opened?

Therefore they said to him, Where is that man? He says, I do not know.

They brought him to the Pharisees--the former blind man.

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight.

but how he now sees, we know not. Or who opened his eyes, we know not. He has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself.

His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.

Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him.

So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful.

But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.

They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us. And they cast him outside.

Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God?

That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee.

And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we also blind?

And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

And they will, no, not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.

But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and it is no care to him about the sheep.

And many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad. Why do ye listen to him?

The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, When do thou lift up our soul? If thou are the Christ, tell us plainly.

Therefore again the Jews took up stones so that they might stone him.

The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God.

But if I am doing them, even though ye do not believe me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the him.

Therefore they sought again to take him, and he went forth out of their hand.

And many came to him, and they said, John indeed did not one sign, but all, as many things as John spoke about this man, were true.

And many believed in him there.

The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou love is sick.

The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again.

But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

He spoke these things, and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has become asleep, but I go that I may awake him.

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.

Therefore Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

So when Jesus came, he found him already four days being kept in the sepucher.

Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

Martha says to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection at the last day.

She says to him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that thou are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.

When that woman heard, she rises quickly, and comes to him.

(Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.)

Therefore when Mary came where Jesus was, after seeing him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.

And he said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.

The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him.

Jesus says, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of the man who came to end, says to him, Lord, he smells now, for is the fourth day.

And the man who died came forth, wrapped hands and feet with grave-clothes, and his face had been wrapped around with a face cloth. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and allow him to go.

Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and who saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

If we allow him this way, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and the nation.

So from that day they consulted together so that they might kill him.

Now also the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that if any man knew where he is, he should disclose it, so that they might take him.

So they made a supper for him there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat dining with him.

Therefore one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, the man who was going to betray him, says,

Now he said this, not because it was a concern to him about the poor, but because he was a thief, and he had the purse and removed things that were put in.

since because of him many of the Jews were going and were believing in Jesus.
