You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.’

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It’s illegal for you to pick up your mat.”

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn’t been trained?”

He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been received because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

“Who are You?” they questioned.

“Precisely what I’ve been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

“We are descendants of Abraham,” they answered Him, “and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will become free’?”

“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.

Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Him, “Lord, he’s already decaying. It’s been four days.”

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.

But this was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said:

Lord, who has believed our message?
And who has the arm of the Lord
been revealed to?

Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

You also will testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.

There was a garden in the place where He was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it.

On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

The wrapping that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself.
