When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

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.

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

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.

Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

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

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

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.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

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.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.

Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?

Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,

And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

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

His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

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

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

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.

In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

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.

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

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

His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

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

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

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?

He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

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

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

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

Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again?

Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.

Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.

Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.

Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.

Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.

Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you.

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

So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him!

But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

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.

Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;
