Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

'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;

and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

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.

And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --

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.'

Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

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

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

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.'

Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;

'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'

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

if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

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

'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you?

And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

Jesus answered them, 'Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

'And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.

And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,

It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, 'Peace to you;'

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent.

And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.

till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,

And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

'Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,

and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,

and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them,

'But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

'Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;

then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,

in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,

And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration,
