because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

'And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?

the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles --

his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'

because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- 'The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?'

but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'

They answered and said to him, 'Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;'

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.'

They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father -- ye do.'

The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'

The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you -- speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'

They said to the blind man again, 'Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?'

and he said -- 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.'

The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.

'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

These things he said, and after this he saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'

but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'

and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,

nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,

And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'

And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;

the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'

the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'
