Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed my disciples.

They answered Him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye shall be made free?

I know that ye are the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

But ye do the works of your father. Then said they unto Him, We are not born of fornication, we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.

The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, I am.

And when He had said these things, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

and said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again seeing.

And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?

Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.

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

He answered and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.

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

Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that had received his sight.

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.

Therefore his parents said, he is of age, ask him.

Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.

He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.

Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:

The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.

They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?

And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.

And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.

And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.

And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?

This parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to them.

Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily I tell you, that I am the door of the sheep.

And many of them said, He is a demoniac, and is mad; why do ye hear Him?

Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

Then the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.

But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,

But Jesus said unto them,

Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?"

do ye say of Him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.

But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Therefore his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well.

Then Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead:

Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

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

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee.

And He said, Where have ye laid him?

The Jews therefore said, Behold, how he loved him!

but some of them said, Could not He, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that this man should not have died?

So they took away the stone from the place where the corpse was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank Thee, that Thou hast heard me.

And when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh many miracles.

But Caiaphas who was one of them, being high-priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all;

So they sought for Jesus, and said to one another in the temple, What think ye? that He will not come to the feast?

Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down with Him.

Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,

He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.

Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.

And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,

The pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the world is gone after Him.

The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake to Him.

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

This He said, signifying what death He should die.

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark knoweth not whither he goeth.

And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,

These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning Him.

And Jesus raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou dost not now understand, but thou shalt know hereafter.

For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, Ye are not all clean.

And when He had washed their feet, and taken his clothes about Him, He sat down again, and said to them, Do ye know the intent of what I have been doing to you?

Jesus having said these things was troubled in spirit, and He openly testified and said, Verily, verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me.

But none of those that sat at table knew wherefore He said this to him.

For some of them thought, because Judas kept the purse, that Jesus said to him, Buy what things we have need of against the feast: or that he should give something to the poor.

And when he was gone out Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him:

Little children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. Ye will wish for me, and as I said to the Jews, "Whither I go ye cannot come", so I now tell you.

If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye do know Him, and may be said to have seen Him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, If any one love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and will make our abode with him.

But the comforter, that is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said unto you.

Ye have heard, how I said unto you, "I am going away, and I shall come again to you." If ye loved me, ye would rejoice that I said, I am going to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Remember what I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours.

But now I am going away to Him that sent me, and yet none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? but because I have said these things to you,

All that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that He shall take of mine and shew it unto you.

Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is the meaning of this that He saith to us, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me, and---because I am going to the Father?

they said therefore, What is this little while that He speaks of? we do not understand what He means.

Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and therefore said unto them, Are ye enquiring among each other about this, that I said, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me?

His disciples said unto Him, Now indeed Thou speakest plainly, and usest no parable.

When Jesus had spoken these words, He lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,--- "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee:

Upon which Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom do ye seek? They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene.

Now as soon as He said unto them, I am He, they went backwards and fell to the ground.

And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

But Jesus said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

Then saith the maid, that kept the door, to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? and he said, I am not.

Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews are continually resorting: and in secret have said nothing. Why dost thou ask me?

ask them that heard me, what I have said unto them: for they know what I have said.

And Simon Peter stood warming himself: and they said to him, Art not thou one of his disciples? and he denied it, and said, I am not.

Then said one of the servants of the high-priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him?
