So, Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come [i.e., to be revealed to the world as its Savior], but it is always your time [i.e., they could go to the festival anytime without rousing opposition].

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about its deeds, that they are evil.

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.

Still, nobody was talking publicly about Him because they feared the Jews.

But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] without formal training?”

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."

Do not make judgments based [merely] on how things look, but make judgments on how they really are."

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

Others said, "This is the Christ!" But they rejoined, "What! Is the Christ to come from Galilee?

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

"No man ever spoke as he speaks!" they answered.

{None} of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, [have they]?

But this [ignorant, contemptible] crowd that does not know the Law is accursed and doomed!”

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

And they went every man unto his own house:

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

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn 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.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

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.

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

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

"The man whom they call Jesus," he answered, "made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me 'Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.' So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight."

Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath"; others said, "How can a sinner perform such Signs?" They were divided on this.

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

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.

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

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.

That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

We know that God does not listen to sinners [i.e., when they pray]; but God does listen to the person who reveres Him and does what He wants.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

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?

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

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

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

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

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

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

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

“I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me,

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

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."

Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

And many there believed and confidently trusted in Him [accepting Him as Savior, and following His teaching].

Now Jesus loved and was concerned about Martha and her sister and Lazarus [and considered them dear friends].

"Rabbi," they replied, "the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?"

Then they said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will recover.

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

and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

They say to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept.

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

And he that was dead, came forth bound hand and foot, with grave bonds after the manner as they were wont to bind their dead withal. And his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, "Loose him, and let him go."

So then, many of the Jews who had come to [be with] Mary and who were eyewitnesses to what Jesus had done, believed in Him.

Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.

"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves.

Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

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.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

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.

But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

they took branches of palm trees [in homage to Him as King] and went out to meet Him, and they began shouting and kept shouting “Hosanna! Blessed (celebrated, praised) is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”

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 large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.

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

And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;

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

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

When they heard the sound, the people standing by said it had thundered; others said, "An angel spoke to him."
