For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and stirred the water. Then he who entered first after the motion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had. And a certain man was there, who had been sick thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been already a long time in that condition, he said to him: Do you wish to be restored to health? The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me. Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk. And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath. The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk. Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk? But he that had been restored to health knew not who he was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, because a multitude was in the place. After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health. And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath. But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work. For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.
Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger; he that believes on me shall never thirst. But I said to you, that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.

For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

For this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said, I am like bread that came down from heaven. And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How, then, does he say, I came down from heaven?
And after this Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
The Jews answered, and said to him: Do we not well say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon? Jesus answered: I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeks and judges.read more.
Verily, verily I say to you, if any one will keep my word, he shall never see death. Then said the Jews to him: Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself? Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is nothing; it is my Father that honors me, of whom you say, that he is your God. And yet you have not known him. But I know him; and if I should say that I do not know him, I should be like yourselves, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word. Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he could see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. Then the Jews said to him: You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, before Abraham came into being, I was. Then they took up stones to throw at him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them; and so passed by.
And as he passed by, he saw a man that had been blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Having said this, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; which, translated, means Sent. He went, therefore, and washed and came seeing. Then his neighbors, and those who had before seen him, that he was blind, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: It is he. Others: He is like him. But he said: I am he. Then they said to him: How were your eyes opened? He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight. Then they said to him: "Where is he? He said: I know not. They brought to the Pharisees him that had formerly been blind. And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see. Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them? Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet. The Jews did not, therefore, believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight, and asked them, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see? His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself. His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him. Then, the second time, they called the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said: If he is a sinner, I know it not. One thing I do know, that having been blind, I now see. They said to him again: "What did he for you? How did he open your eyes? He answered them: I have already told you, and you did not understand; why would you hear it again? Do you also wish to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them: Why, there is some thing wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes. We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears. Since the beginning it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one who had been born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him: You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
And the feast of the dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was winter: and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.read more.
Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God.
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attend ants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.

And Pilate wrote a superscription, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, JESUS THE NAZABENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Therefore many of the Jews read this superscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pi late: Write not, The king of the Jews; but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews.

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet cloak; and when they had plaited a crown of thorn branches, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and kneeling before him, they derided him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews!read more.

Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorn-branches, and put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple robe, and said: Hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him with their open hands.read more.
Then Pilate came out again, and said to them: Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him. Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorn branches, and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them: Be hold the man! When the chief priests and their attendants saw him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them: Do you take him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him.

And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with his fellow-insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

But Pilate answered them, saying: Do you wish me to release to you the King of the Jews? For he knew that, through envy, the chief priests had delivered him up. But the chief priests instigated the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. And Pilate answered and said again to them: What, then, do you wish me to do with him whom you call the King of the Jews? They again cried out: Crucify him. But Pilate said to them: Why, what evil has he done? But they cried vehemently: Crucify him.
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him. But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews? They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
