Jesus said therefore to them, when ye have lift up the son of man, then shall ye know what I am, and that I do nothing of my self, but speak as my father hath instructed me.

a slave has no right to be in the house for life: but the son is settled there.

I know you are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my doctrine doth not penetrate into you.

but now ye seek to kill me, the man who has told you the truth, such as I have learnt it of God: Abraham did not act thus.

your actions are like your father. at this they reply'd, we are no bastards; we have but one father, even God.

Jesus said to them, if God were your father, ye would love me: for I was commissioned by God to come; I did not come of my self, but he sent me.

but as to me, because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me.

Jesus answered, I am not mad; but I honour my father, and you dishonour me.

yet ye have not known him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a lyar like you: but I know him, and observe his commands.

then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus was conceal'd by the crowd which he pass'd thro', and so got out of the temple.

it was not for any sin of his, said Jesus, or of his parents: but that the works of God might be displayed thro' him.

this is he, said some; he is like him, said others: but he said, I am the man.

thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself.

then they reviled him, and said, thou art his disciple; but we are Moses disciples.

now 'tis certain, that God does not countenance impostors: but regards him only that is religious, and executes his commands.

Jesus said to him, not only thou hast seen him, but it is he himself that is talking with thee.

Jesus said to them, if you were blind, you would be excusable; but since you own that you see, you stand convicted.

I assure you, he that entreth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

but he that enters in by the door, is the pastor of the sheep.

a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Jesus talk'd to them in this figurative way: but they did not understand the meaning of his discourse.

they who have personated me, are all thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not follow them.

the thief comes only to steal, to kill, and destroy: but I am come that they might have life, and have it with all its advantages.

but the hireling, who is not the pastor, nor has the property of the sheep, seeing the wolf come, leaves the sheep, and flies away: so the wolf seizes some, and disperses the flock.

other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring; they will hear my voice; and so there shall be but one fold, and one pastor.

therefore doth my father love me, because I lay down my life, but I shall reassume it.

no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father.

but, as I said before, you do not believe; because ye are not of my sheep.

the Jews answered him, saying, it is not for any good work that we stone thee; but for blasphemy, inasmuch as you, being a man, pretend to be a God.

but if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him.

Thereupon they again endeavour'd to seize him: but he escaped out of their hands, and retir'd beyond Jordan,

and many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but every thing that he said concerning this man, was true.

when Jesus heard that, he said, the disease is not to be mortal, but is design'd for the glory of God, that the son of God might be glorified thereby.

but if a man travels by night he stumbles, because there is no light for him.

thus he entertain'd them: and after that, he said to them, our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.

though Jesus meant it of Lazarus's death: but they understood it of the natural rest in sleep.

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there (to the intent you may believe) but now, let us go to him.

now Bethany being distant from Jerusalem but about fifteen furlongs,

Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him: but Mary stay'd at home.

but yet even now whatever you shall ask of God, I know God will grant it to you.

no sooner she heard that, but she arose with all speed, and came to him.

for Jesus was not yet arrived in the town, but staid at the place were Martha met him.

but some of them said, this man who has given sight to the blind, could not he have prevented Lazarus's death?

I know that thou hearest me always: but I say this, because of the people here present, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

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

but one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest at that time, said to them, ye don't know what you are about.

now this he did not say from his own motion: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation:

and not for that nation only, but likewise to reassemble the dispersed children of God into one body.

For which reason he did not afterwards appear publickly among the Jews; but retir'd into the country near the desart, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

there a supper was provided for him; Martha was in waiting: but Lazarus was one of the guests that sat at table with him.

but Mary taking a pound of the oil of spikenard which was very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair: so that the house was filled with the odour of the perfume.

this he said, not out of any concern for the poor; but because being purse-bearer he used to pilfer what was in bank.

the poor you will always have with you; but me you will not always have.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

this passage his disciples did not understand at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, they remembred how they had mounted him, and perceiv'd that those words related to him.

but Jesus answered them, saying, the time is come, when the son of man is to be glorified.

verily, verily I say unto you, when a corn of wheat is thrown into the ground, there it lies a single grain unless it dies: but if it die, it becomes very fruitful.

he that loveth his life, shall lose it: but he that sacrifices his life in this world, shall preserve it to eternity.

"Now is my soul troubled; what! shall I say, father, save me from this concern? but for this cause am I come, even for this very concern.

Jesus said, this voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

But though he had done so many miracles in their presence, yet they did not believe on him:

nevertheless there were many even among the chief rulers, who believed on him; but they did not own it publickly for fear the Pharisees should excommunicate them.

but if any man hear my words, and does not believe them, it is not I that condemn him: for I came not to condemn the world, but to save the world.

for I have not spoken for my self; but the father who sent me, he commission'd me, what I should teach, and what I should speak.

Jesus answered him, you don't at present comprehend what I am about: but hereafter you shall.

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

but the company at table did not know what he meant by saying so.

my dear children, I am with you but for a little while. you shall seek me: but as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, "where I am going you cannot come."

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, you cannot at present follow me, where I am going; but hereafter you shall.

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man can come to the father, but by me.

don't you believe that I am in the father, and the father in me? the words that I speak unto you, I speak indeed, tho' not from my self; but as to the works, the father, who dwells in me, he is the agent.

even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees nor knows him: but ye shall know him, for he shall dwell with you, and shall be in you.

yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more: but ye shall see me: because I shall live again, and ye shall live also.

he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me.

but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

I bid you farewell! I give you my last farewell; but I do not give it out of common formality: don't be concern'd for me, or apprehensive for your selves.

this I have told you now, before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe. my conversation will now be but short with you,

not that he has any thing against me, but that the world may know that I love the father, by my executing the commands which my father gave me: arise, let us go hence.

henceforth I do not treat you as servants; for the servant is unacquainted with his master's affairs: but I have treated you as friends; for what I have learnt of my father, I have communicated to you.

it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you.

if you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you.

but all these things will they do unto you, out of hatred to my name, because they know not him that sent me.

if I had not appear'd, and inform'd them, they would have been innocent: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father.

but when the advocate is come, whom I will send to you from the father, even the spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the father, he shall testify of me.

but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you.

but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going?

nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

I have yet many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them now;

but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come.

Within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father.

then said some of his disciples among themselves, what is the meaning of his saying, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father?"

now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?"

verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

a woman when she is in travail, is afflicted at the approach of her pains: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, the remembrance of her anguish, is lost in her joy, that a man is born into the world.

so you are afflicted at present: but I will see you again, and then shall your hearts be affected with joy, and your joy shall no one wrest from you.

These things have I express'd in a figurative way: the time is coming when my language will be no longer enigmatical, but I shall give you a plain account relating to my father.
