For a heavenly agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had. And a certain man was there who was thirty-eight years in the weakness. When Jesus saw this man laying down, and knew that he fares now a long time, he says to him, Do thou desire to become well? The infirmed man answered him, Sir, I have no man so that when the water is agitated he might put me into the pool, but while I am coming another steps down before me. Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk. And straightaway the man became well, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was Sabbath on that day. The Jews therefore said to the man who was cured, It is Sabbath. It is not permitted for thee to take up the bed. He answered them, The man who made me well, that man said to me, Take up thy bed and walk. Therefore they asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk? But the man who was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus withdrew, a multitude being in the place. After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee. The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well. And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a Sabbath.

Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the Sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that every man who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews therefore murmured about him because he said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven. And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Therefore how does this man say, I have come down out of heaven?

Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God. And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am. Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.read more.
I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work. When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Having said these things, he spat toward the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man. And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, He who has been sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing. The neighbors therefore and those who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is this not he who sits and begs? Others said, He is this man, but others said, He is like him. That man said, I am. They said to him therefore, How were thine eyes opened? That man answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed on my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And after going and washing, I received sight. Therefore they said to him, Where is that man? He says, I do not know. They brought him to the Pharisees--the former blind man. Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see. Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them. They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that he was born blind? How then does he now see? And 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 has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself. His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue. Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him. So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful. That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see. But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes? He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from. The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man. From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us. And they cast him outside.
And the feast of the dedication happened at Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch. The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, When do thou lift up our soul? If thou are the Christ, tell us plainly.read more.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me. But ye do not believe, for ye 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 will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. Therefore again the Jews took up stones so that they might stone him. Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God.
So the band, and the chief captain, and the subordinates of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound him, and led him away first to Annas. For he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. Now Caiaphas was the man who counseled the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus, and Pilate allowed him. Therefore he came and removed the bod

Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but, That man said I am king of the Jews.

And having woven a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And having knelt down before him, they ridiculed him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!read more.

Therefore Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put around him a purple garment. And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps.read more.
Therefore Pilate again went forth outside, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him. Jesus therefore came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them, Look at the man! When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Ye take ye him and crucify, for I find no cause in him.
Now during a feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they requested. And a man who was called Barabbas was with the rebels who were bound, men who had committed murder during the insurrection. And having cried aloud, the multitude began to ask as he was always doing for them.read more.
And Pilate answered them, saying, Do ye wish that I would release to you the king of the Jews? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up because of envy. But the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead. And again having answered, Pilate said to them, What then do ye wish I would do to the man whom ye call the king of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. And Pilate said to them, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, Crucify him.
Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find not one cause in him. But there is a custom for you that I should release to you one man at the Passover. Do ye wish therefore I would release to you the king of the Jews? They all cried out again therefore, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.
Indeed therefore those who were scattered abroad from the persecution that occurred against Stephen passed through as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews only.
