After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem, at the Sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, - having, five porches. In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, - blind, lame, withered. read more.
And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness. Jesus, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto him - Desirest thou to be made, well? The sick man answered him - Sir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down. Jesus saith unto him - Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking. And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began to walk. Now it was Sabbath, on that day. The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured - It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: - who, however, answered them - He that made me well, he, unto me, said - Take up thy couch, and be walking. They questioned him - Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy couch , and be walking? But, the healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being in the place. After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him - See! thou hast become, well: - No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall. The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well. And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.

And, they, having heard, with one accord, uplifted voice unto God, and said - O Sovereign! Thou, art he that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are herein: Who, by our father, through means of the Holy Spirit, even by the mouth of David thy servant, said - Unto what end did nations rage, and, peoples, busy themselves with empty things? The kings of the earth stationed themselves, and, the rulers, were gathered together, with one intent, against the Lord, and against his Christ. read more.

But, Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going unto the High-priest, asked from him letters for Damascus, unto the synagogues; to the end that, if he should find, any, who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them, bound, unto Jerusalem. But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven; read more.
And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him - Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting? And he said - Who art thou, Lord? And, he, said - I, am Jesus, whom, thou, art persecuting!

I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear. Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you: read more.
Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide. I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing. If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, - and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you. Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples. Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love. If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, - just as, I, the Father's commandments, have kept, and abide in his love. These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full. This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you. Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends. Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you. No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you. Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, - and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you. These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another. If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated. If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you. Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, - If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep. But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me. Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin. He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also. Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father. But -- that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled - They hated me without cause.

The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well. And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath. But, he, answered them - My Father, until even now, is working; and, I, am working. read more.
On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, - because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling God, his own Father, making, himself, equal, with, God.

But it befell me, as I was journeying and drawing nigh unto Damascus, that, about mid-day - suddenly - out of heaven, there flashed a great light all around me; I fell also to the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me - Saul! Saul! Why, me, art thou persecuting? And, I, answered - Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me - I, am Jesus the Nazarene, whom, thou, art persecuting!

and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him. And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, shall there be, - Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it? How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act. read more.

But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude - Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest. The Lord answered him, and said - Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink? But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest? And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.

And lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him. And Jesus, answering, spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees, saying - Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to cure, or not? But, they, held their peace. And taking hold of him he healed and dismissed him, - read more.

Jesus answered, and said unto them - One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling: For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision, - not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; - and, on Sabbath, ye circumcise a man. If, circumcision, a man receiveth, on Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, with me, are ye bitter as gall, because, a whole man, I made, well, on Sabbath? read more.

And they come again into Jerusalem. And, as he is walking in the temple, the High-priests and the Scribes and the Elders come unto him, and were saying unto him - By what authority, these things, art thou doing?

And, making answer unto Jesus, they say - We know not; and Jesus saith unto them - Neither do, I, tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.

And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple - How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David? David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, - The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet. David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own soul? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly. read more.

And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much. And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing. And, calling near his disciples, he said to them - Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury; For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, - the whole of her living.

Did not, Moses, give you the law? And yet, not one of you, doeth the law! - Why, seek ye, to slay, me? The multitude answered - A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee?

Jesus, therefore, cried aloud in the temple, teaching, and saying - Both me, ye know, and ye know whence I am, - and yet, of myself, have I not come, but he is real, who sent me, whom, ye, know not.

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him - How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense?

Jesus answered them - I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. read more.
But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, - and, I, know, them, and they follow me, - And, I, give unto them life age-abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age-abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: - I and the Father, are, one. The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him. Jesus answered them - Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me? The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God. Jesus answered them - Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods? If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came - and the Scripture cannot be broken - Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying - Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am? If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me; But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, - that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
