(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.) now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years. Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured? the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. rise, said Jesus to him, take up thy bed, and go your way. and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath, the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. he answered them, he that cured me 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? and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there. sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse. then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him. upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

The Jews then murmured against him, for having said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." is not this, said they, Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how comes he then to say, I came down from heaven?
After this Jesus resided in Galilee: for he would not be in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. now the
The Jews answered, and said to him, are we not in the right to say, that you are a Samaritan, and are really mad? Jesus answered, I am not mad; but I honour my father, and you dishonour me. I do not consult my own glory: there is one that will consult that, and judge accordingly.read more.
verily, verily, I say unto you, whoever observes my doctrine, shall never die. upon this said the Jews to him, now we plainly perceive you are mad. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and yet you say, if a man observes your doctrine, he shall never die. are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? the prophets likewise are dead: pray, what do you then pretend to be? Jesus answered, if I honour'd my self, my honour would be vain: it is my father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God. yet ye have not known him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a lyar like you: but I know him, and observe his commands. your father Abraham long'd to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. then said the Jews to him, you are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

As Jesus passed by, he saw a man that was born blind. and his disciples propos'd to him this question, master, was it for his own sins, or for the sins of his parents, that he was born blind? it was not for any sin of his, said Jesus, or of his parents: but that the works of God might be displayed thro' him.read more.
I must perform the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, 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, which by means of his saliva he made into clay, wherewith he anointed the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, go wash in the pool of Siloam (a word which signifies sent.) so he went and washed, and came seeing. the neighbours therefore, and they who before had seen him begging, said, is not this he that used to sit begging? this is he, said some; he is like him, said others: but he said, I am the man. thereupon they said to him, how did you come to your sight? he answered, a man call'd Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: I went, and washed, and so I saw. then said they to him, where is he? I don't know, said he. This very man that had been blind, was at length brought to the Pharisees. now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight. the Pharisees therefore ask'd him likewise, how he had received his sight. he told them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and now see. thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them. they therefore question'd the blind man again, what do you say of the man that made you see? he is a prophet, said he. but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents, and ask'd them, is this your son, who you say was born blind? how came it then that he now sees? his parents answered, that this is our son, and that he was born blind: we are very certain. but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself. his parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had agreed in this, that if any man did own him for the Messias, he should be excommunicated. it was this made his parents say, "he is of age, ask him." They therefore again call'd the man that had been blind, and said to him, in the name of God tell the truth: for we know that this man is an impostor. whether he be so or not, said he, I don't know: one thing I very well know, that once I was blind, and now I see. they still urg'd the same question, what did he do to thee? how did he make you see? I have already told you that, said he, and did you not hear it? why would ye hear it over again? have you likewise a mind to be his disciples? then they reviled him, and said, thou art his disciple; but we are Moses disciples. we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him. the man replied, that's very strange that he should make me see, and you should not know who sent him. now 'tis certain, that God does not countenance impostors: but regards him only that is religious, and executes his commands. It was never heard since the world began, that any man gave sight to one that was born blind. if this man had not his mission from God, he could do nothing. they answered, you were a vicious fellow from your very birth, and do you pretend to preach to us? and then they excommunicated him.
At length the feast of the dedication was kept at Jerusalem, when the weather happen'd to be foul. as Jesus therefore was walking in the temple in Solomon's portico, the Jews came about him, and said, how long will you keep us in suspense? if you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.read more.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe me: the works that I do in my father's name, they testify of me. but, as I said before, you do not believe; because ye are not of my sheep. my sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me. it is I that give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any one force them out of my hand. my father who gave them me, is greater than all: so that no one is able to force 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 shewed you from my father; for which of those works would you stone me? the Jews answered him, saying, it is not for any good work that we stone thee; but for blasphemy, inasmuch as you, being a man, pretend to be a God.
Then the soldiers, the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized on Jesus, and having bound him, they brought him first to Annas; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest at that time: the same Caiaphas, who in council told the Jews, "it was expedient that one man should die for the people."
after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a conceal'd one, pray'd Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave: so he went and took the body of Jesus.
The same day at evening, being the first day of the week, the doors of the house where the disciples were, being shut, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, peace be with you.
and they set an Inscription over his head, denoting the reason of his execution, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
they likewise put the following inscription over his head, in Greek, in Latin, and in Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
and Pilate caused an inscription to be put over the cross, in these words, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. now this inscription was read by many of the Jews: for Jesus was crucified nigh the city: and it was written in Syriac, Greek, and Latin. thereupon the chief priests of the Jews went to Pilate, saying, don't write, "The king of the Jews;" but that he said, I am king of the Jews.

Then Pilate entred into the Pretorium, and addressing himself to Jesus, said to him, are not you the king of the Jews?
after this the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered all the foot-guards about him. and having stripp'd him, they put on him a scarlet robe. then pleating a crown of thorns, they set it on his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, in mockery, saying, hail king of the Jews.read more.
and they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. and after they had thus insulted him, they took the robe off, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Then the soldiers took Jesus away into the hall, call'd Pretorium; and summon'd their whole company together. and they put on him a purple cloth, and set a wreath of thorns upon his head for a crown; then they began to salute him, saying, "Hail king of the Jews!"read more.
and they struck him on the head with a cane, spit upon him, and bowing their knees, made a show of reverence. Their mockery ended, they stript him of his purple, and put his own cloaths on him; then led him away to be crucified.
Then Pilate order'd Jesus to be scourged. and the soldiers having made a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and threw a purple robe about him. hail king of the Jews! said they, and struck him on the cheeks.read more.
Pilate therefore went out again, and said to them, observe, I bring him out to you, to acquaint you that I find no fault in him. so Jesus marched out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. and Pilate said to them, here's the man. as soon as the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, "crucify him, crucify him." Pilate said to them, take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
Now during the feast, it was customary to release a prisoner, to be nominated by the people. Barabbas lay then confin'd with other seditious, who had committed murder in an insurrection. the populace therefore fell a roaring, and desired him to do as was always practis'd.read more.
but Pilate answered them, saying, do you chuse to have Jesus releas'd, the king of the Jews? for he perceived plainly, it was out of malice, that the chief priests had prosecuted him. but the chief priests incited the people to demand, that he would rather release Barabbas. Pilate still urg'd them again, and said, what then would you have me do with him, that you stile king of the Jews? and they cried out again, crucify him. Pilate replied, why, what harm has he done? but they cried out more furiously, crucify him.
what is truth? said Pilate. and upon saying this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I don't find he is guilty of any crime. but as it is customary with you to get me to discharge some prisoner at the time of the passover, would you have me release the king of the Jews? upon which they all cried out again: not him, but Barabbas. now Barabbas was a robber.
In the mean time they who were dispers'd upon the persecution that arose after Stephen's time, had travell'd as far as Phenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, without preaching the gospel to any, but Jews only.
