And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

They did not see that his words were about the Father.

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?

And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:

For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

I have given knowledge of your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your words.

Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

And now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

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

They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;

I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.

So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.
