Then the father knew that that was the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son is going to live." So he and his whole household believed in Jesus.

Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your pallet, and go to walking."

He answered them, "The man who cured me said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and go to walking.'"

They asked him, "Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and go to walking'?"

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple court, and said to him, "See! You are now well. Stop sinning or something worse may befall you."

Do not be thinking that I am going to accuse you to the Father. You have your accuser; it is Moses on whom you have set your hopes!

After this Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee, or Tiberias.

So Jesus looked up and saw that a vast crowd was coming toward Him, and said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"

Another of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot; so the men, about five thousand, threw themselves down.

When they had plenty, He said to His disciples, "Pick up the pieces that are left, that nothing be wasted."

But He said to them, "It is I; stop being afraid!"

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there was only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away by themselves.

Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the real bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the real bread out of heaven,

Then they said to Him, "Give us that bread always, sir!"

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never get hungry, and whoever believes in me will never get thirsty.

And they said, "Is He not Jesus, Joseph's son, whose father and mother we know? So how can He say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"

Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in you.

He said this as He taught in the synagogue at Capernaum.

So many of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This teaching is hard to take in. Who can listen to it?"

But as Jesus naturally knew that His disciples were grumbling about this, He said to them, "Is this shocking to you?

So Jesus said to the Twelve, "You too do not want to go back, do you?"

So His brothers said to Him, "You must leave here and go to Judea, to let your disciples also see the works that you are doing;

Then Jesus said to them, "It is not yet time for me to do so, but anytime is suitable for you.

The Jews were dumbfounded and said, "How can this uneducated man know the Scriptures?"

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man they are trying to kill?

But many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, He will not perform greater wonder-works than He did, will He?"

Then Jesus said to them, "Just a little while longer I am to be with you, and then I am going back to Him who has sent me.

The Jews then said to one another, "Where is He about to go that we shall not find Him? He is not going to our people scattered among the Greeks, and going to teach the Greeks, is He?

So some of the people, when they heard this, said, "This is surely the prophet."

Others said, "This is the Christ." But still others said, "The Christ does not come from Galilee, does He?

One of them, Nicodemus, who had formerly gone to Jesus, said to them,

Early the next morning, He had come into the temple again, and all the people were gathering around Him. Having sat down, He began to teach them.

they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

When the questioners persisted, Jesus straightened up and said to them, "Let the one of you who is sinless be the first one to cast a stone at her."

He straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go. Stop sinning from this point on."

Then Jesus again addressed them and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever continues to follow me need never walk in darkness, but he will enjoy the light that means life."

The Pharisees then said to Him, "You are testifying to yourself; your testimony is not true."

He said these things in the treasury as He was teaching in the temple, and yet no one ventured to arrest Him, because the time had not yet come for Him.

Then Jesus again said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die under the curse of your sins; for where I am going you can never come."

Then the Jews began to say, "He is not going to kill Himself, is He? Is that why He said, 'Where I am going you can never come'?"

So Jesus said to them, "When you lift the Son of Man (on the cross), you will know that I am the Christ, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I say exactly what my Father has instructed me to say.

So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in Him, "If you live in accordance with what I teach, you are really my disciples,

and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free."

They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and we never have been anybody's slaves. How can you say to us, 'You will be set free'?"

They answered Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, you must be practicing what Abraham did.

You are practicing what your real father does." They said to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God."

Then Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. No, indeed, I have not come on my own authority, but He has sent me.

Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that you are under the power of a demon. Abraham is dead; the prophets too, and yet you say, 'If anyone follows my teaching, he will never experience death.'

The Jews then said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"

Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, I existed before Abraham was born."

and said, "Go and wash them in the pool of Siloam" (which means One who has been sent). So he went and washed them and went home seeing.

Now his neighbors and those who saw that he was formerly blind, kept saying, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

Some said, "Yes, it is he." Others said, "No, but it surely does look like him." He himself said, "I am the man."

He answered, "The man called Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So when I had gone and washed them I could see."

Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a sinful man perform such wonder- works?" So there was a difference of opinion among them.

His parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone owned Jesus as the Christ, he should be shut out of the synagogues.

This is why his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know this man is a sinner."

Again they said to him, "What did He do to you? How did He make your eyes to see again?"

Then they jeered him, and said, "You are a disciple of His yourself, but we are disciples of Moses.

Jesus heard that they had turned the man out of the synagogue; so He found him and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man yourself?"

So he said, "Lord, I believe!" Then he worshiped Him.

Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge people, so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind."

So Jesus said to them again: "I most solemnly say to you, I am the door to the sheepfold myself.

Many of them said, "He is under the power of a demon and is going crazy. Why are you listening to Him?"

Others said, "These are not the words of a man who is under the power of a demon. A demon cannot make the eyes of the blind see, can he?"

Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?

do you now say to me whom my Father has set apart to it and sent into the world, 'You are a blasphemer,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

And many people came to Him and kept on saying, "John did not perform any wonder-works, but everything he ever said about this man was true."

When Jesus received the message, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death but is to honor God, that the Son of God through it may be honored."

After that He said to His disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."

The disciples said to Him, "Teacher, the Jews just now were trying to stone you, and are you going back there again?"

He said this, and after that He added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

The disciples said to Him, "Lord, if he has merely fallen asleep, he will recover."

Then Thomas the Twin said to his fellow-disciples, "Let us go too, and die with Him."

Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life myself. Whoever continues to believe in me will live right on even though he dies,

She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

When Mary came where Jesus was and saw Him, she threw herself at His feet, and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

So the Jews said, "See how tenderly He loved him!"

But some of them said, "Could not this man, who made that blind man see, have kept Lazarus from dying?"

Jesus said, "Slip the stone aside." The dead man's sister, Martha, said to Him, "Lord, by this time he is offensive, for he has been dead four days."

Jesus said to her, "Did I not promise you that if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?"

So they slipped the stone aside. And Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you for listening to me;

yes, I knew that you always listen to me. But I have said this for the sake of the crowd that is standing by, that they may come to believe that you have sent me."

Then out came the dead man, his feet and hands tied with wrappings, and his face tied up with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing about this;

But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was going to betray Him, said,

He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and as the carrier of the purse for the Twelve he was in the habit of taking what was put into it.

Then Jesus said, "Let her alone; let her keep it for the day of my funeral,

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see, you cannot help it at all; the whole world has gone off after Him!"

The crowd of bystanders on hearing it said that it was thunder; others, however, said, "An angel has spoken to Him!"

He said this to show the kind of death He was going to die.

Jesus said to them, "Only a little while longer you will have the light. Keep on living by it while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for whoever walks about in the dark does not know where he is going.

So they could not believe, for Isaiah again has said:

Isaiah said this, because he saw His glory; yes, he spoke about Him.
