Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?

They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.

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

And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.

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

My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand.

If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God?

(It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this?

She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there.

When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:

But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died?

Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him.

JESUS then before the days of the passover came to Bethany, where the deceased Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.

Therefore they made him a supper there; and Martha waited: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with him.

Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was preparing to betray him,

Then the whole multitude of the Jews knew that he was there: and they came not for the sake of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

On the morrow a great multitude who came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast:

these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

(For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.)

I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me.

Then the disciples looked one at another, doubting of whom he spake.

Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.

Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake.

Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel of bread, he gave it unto Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him.

Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; because he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he is the person who loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

But the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have spoken to you.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

They will put you out of their synagogues: yea, the hour is coming, that every one who killeth you will think he offers God a sacred service.

even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life:

and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.

I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.

And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.

Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there.

Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men.

Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean.

that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.

and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.

Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people.

But Peter stood without at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter.

Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, I am not.

Why dost thou question me? ask those who have heard me, what I have spoken to them: lo, they know what I said.

As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?

Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.

Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar's: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar.

When Jesus then beheld his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

And again another scripture saith, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."

And Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus by night formerly, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred weight.

She therefore runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

Then went in also the other disciple, who had come the first to the sepulchre, and saw, and believed.

Then Jesus said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? whom art thou seeking? She, supposing that it was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, the twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed.

Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together.

Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea.

Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. Now not one of the disciples dared inquire, Who art thou? conscious that it was the Lord.

Now Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the supper reclined on his bosom, and said, Lord, which is the person who betrayeth thee?

This is the disciple who is testifing of these things, and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:

to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:

who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus.

And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood.

Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,

And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them; Men of Judea, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words:

whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.

Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.

They therefore who gladly received his discourse were baptised: and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.

Now all who believed were together, and had all things common;
