Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

For even his brothers had no belief in him.

The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth;

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching.

Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, "How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?"

Then Moses gave you the rite of circumcision -- not that it had its origin with Moses but with your earlier forefathers -- and you circumcise a male child even on the Sabbath.

They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Therefore, many of the multitude, when they had heard this word, said: This is, in truth, the prophet.

And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?”

Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, being himself one of them.

At dawn, however, he came back to the Temple, where the people came to him in crowds. He had taken his seat and was teaching them,

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

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.

When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.

And when they heard [what He had said], they [all] left, one at a time, beginning with the oldest men. So, Jesus was left alone with the woman [still standing] there where she was.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

I know you are Abraham's offspring! Yet you want to kill me, since my word makes no headway among you!

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye had done Abraham's works.

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.

Jesus said unto them - If, God, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.

Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

As He passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight.

Then they brought the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.

Now it was the Sabbath day when Jesus had made the mud and restored the man's sight.

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

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

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

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

Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born.

Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing."

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins [from head to foot], and you [presume to] teach us?” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Jesus said to them, 'If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

The doorkeeper opens [the gate] for this man, and the sheep hear his voice and pay attention to it. And [knowing that they listen] he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out [to pasture].

When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring those also, and they will listen to My voice and pay attention to My call, and they will become one flock with one Shepherd.

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of what Jesus had been saying.

So He departed again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing earlier, and He remained there.

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

Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

And, when he had said this, he added: "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going that I may wake him."

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.

So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her, saw how quickly Mary got up and left, they followed her, assuming that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He was angry in His spirit and deeply moved.

The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"

Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, "Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been 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 removed the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, thank you for hearing me. [Note: Jesus had already prayed for and been assured of Lazarus' resurrection].

And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Out came the man who had been dead, his hands and feet tightly wrapped in burial cloths (linen strips), and with a [burial] cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and release him.”

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

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 a certain member of the Sanhedrin, [named] Caiaphas, who was head priest that year, said to [the rest of] them, "You do not know what you are talking about.

Now he did not say this on his own [i.e., he was not aware of the significance of his words], but since he was head priest that year, he was prophesying [i.e., predicting] that Jesus should die for the nation.

But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their 'purification,' before the Festival began.

So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think??hat he will not come to the feast at all?"

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

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

for the chief priests had resolved to put even Lazarus to death;

For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

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

And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead.

For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
