"I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

Jesus said to her, "I who am now talking to you, am he."

"Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can't be the Christ, can he?"

Jesus said to them. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death.

so the Jews kept saying to the man who had been cured. "It is the Sabbath Day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

He replied, "The man who healed me told me to take up my bed and walk."

"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'take up your bed and go walking away'?"

But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that place.

The man went to and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well;

"For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, even so the Son makes whom he will alive.

"in order that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

"I tell you solemnly that he who listens to my messages and believes Him who sent me, has eternal life. He will not come under condemnation, but has passed out of death into life.

"Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.

"Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again;

"those who have done good into a resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil to a resurrection of condemnation.

"I can of my own self do nothing. As I listen, I judge, and my own judgment is just, because I am not seeking my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.

"And the Father who sent me has himself borne testimony concerning me. None of you has heard his at any time or seen him,

nor had his word dwelling within you, because you do not believe him whom he sent.

"Do not imagine that I shall accuse you to the Father. Moses is your accuser, on whom you build your hopes.

A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.

"There is a lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,

So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come into the world."

"This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."

"I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.

"Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject.

"For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the last day.

"For this is my Fathers will, that every one who beholds the Son and believes on him, shall have eternal life. and I will raise him up at the last day."

answered Jesus; "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; then I will raise him up on the last day.

"It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me.

"Not that any one has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

"I tell you solemnly that he who believes has eternal life.

"I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

"He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

"He who feeds upon my flesh abides in me and I in him.

"Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by me.

"This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever."

So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said: "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"

"Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him.

Simon Peter answered. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal life;

The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."

"The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him.

The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?"

So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said: "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.

Then Jesus said to them. "Still for a little longer I am with you, and then I am going my way to him who sent me.

"If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water."

Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

"As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"

Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them,

when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.

Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."

"Though even if I do judge, my judgment is trustworthy, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

"I am one who gives testimony concerning myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony concerning me."

"Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered.

"I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world only those things which I have heard from him."

"and he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him."

"In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus replied, "every one who commits sin is a slave

"But now you are seeking to kill me?? man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.

"He who is from God listens to God's words. For this reason you do not listen, because you are not from God."

"Yet I am not seeking my own honor. There is One who is seeking it, and He is judge.

"You are not greater than our father Abraham, are you? And he died, and the prophets died. Who are you making yourself out to be?"

"Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

He answered. "The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight."

Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

"but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who has opened his eyes. Ask him, himself. He is of age. He will speak for himself."

So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.

"Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of.

"Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."

"You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you."

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"

"but he who comes in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

"My Father who has given them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

"If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),

do you mean to tell me, whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Many who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true."

Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha??2 it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."

Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."

"I am the resurrection and the life," said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.

And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

"Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.

"Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"

"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;

But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,

So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.

Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him,

When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

Next day the big crowd who had come up for the Passover heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,

and taking branches from the palm trees went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Even Israel's King!"
