OMITTED TEXT There was one man there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus saw him lying there, and finding that he had been in this condition for a long time, said to him, "Do you want to get well?" The sick man answered, "I have nobody, sir, to put me into the pool when the water stirs, but while I am getting down someone else steps in ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk!" And the man was immediately cured, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is against the Law for you to carry your mat." But he answered, "The man who cured me said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' " They asked him, "Who was it that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?" But the man who had been cured did not know who it was, for as there was a crowd there, Jesus had left the place. Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him, "See! You are well again. Give up sin, or something worse may happen to you." The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him. This was why the Jews used to persecute Jesus, because he did things like this on the Sabbath. But he answered them, "My Father is still at work, and I work too."

The Jews complained of him for saying, "I am the bread that has come out of heaven," and they said, "Is he not Joseph's son, Jesus, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"
After this Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the Jews were making efforts to kill him.
The Jews answered, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed?" Jesus answered, "I am not possessed, but I have respect for my Father, and you have no respect for me.

I tell you, if anyone observes my teaching, he will never experience death." The Jews said to him, "Now we are sure that you are possessed! Abraham is dead and so are the prophets, and yet you say, 'If anyone observes my teaching, he will never know what death is!' Are you a greater man than our forefather Abraham? Yet he is dead and the prophets are dead. What do you claim to be?" Jesus answered, "If I show special honor to myself, such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who shows me honor. You say he is your God, yet you have never come to know him. But I know him. If I say I do not know him, I will be a liar like yourselves. No! I do know him, and I am faithful to his message. Your forefather Abraham exulted at the thought of seeing my coming. He has seen it, and it has made him glad." The Jews said to him, "You are not fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "I tell you, I existed before Abraham was born!" At that, the Jews picked up stones to throw at him, but he disappeared and made his way out of the Temple.
As he passed along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth. His disciples asked him, "Master, for whose sin was this man born blind? For his own, or for that of his parents?"

We must carry on the work of him who has sent me while the daylight lasts. Night is coming, when no one can do any work. As long as I am in the world, I am a light for the world." As he said this he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and he put the clay on the man's eyes, and said to him, "Go and wash them in the Pool of Siloam"?? name which means One who has been sent. So he went and washed them, and went home able to see. Then his neighbors and people who had formerly seen him begging, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" Some said, "Yes! It is he!" Others said, "No! but he looks like him." He himself said, "I am the man." So they said to him, "Then how does it happen that you can see?" He answered, "The man they call Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So I went and when I had washed them I could see." They said to him, "Where is he?" He answered, "I do not know." They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees. Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the clay and made him able to see. So once more the Pharisees asked him how he had become able to see, and he said to them, "He put some clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and I can see." Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a sinful man show such signs as this?" And there was a division of opinion among them. So they asked the blind man again, "What have you to say about him, because he has made you able to see?" He said, "He is a prophet!" But the Jews would not believe that he had been blind and had become able to see until they summoned the parents of the man who had been given his sight, and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it that he can see now?" His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. But we do not know how it is that he can see now, or who has made him able to see. You must ask him. He is grown up. Let him tell you about himself." His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already made an agreement that if anyone acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogues. That was why his parents said, "He is grown up; you must ask him." So they again summoned the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give God the praise. This man we know is a sinful man." He answered, "I do not know about his being a sinful man. All I know is that I was blind before and now I can see." They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he make you able to see?" He answered, "I have already told you and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become disciples of his too?" Then they sneered at him, and said, "You are a disciple of his yourself, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man came from." The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see! We know that God does not listen to sinful people, but if a man is devout and obeys God, God will listen to him. It was never heard of in this world that anyone made a man born blind able to see. If this man were not from God, he could not do anything." They answered, "You were born in utter sin, and are you trying to teach us?" So they excluded him from the synagogue.
That was the time of the Rededication Festival at Jerusalem. It was winter time and Jesus was walking up and down inside the Temple, in Solomon's Colonnade.

Jesus answered, "I have told you so, and you will not believe it. The things I have been doing by my Father's authority are my credentials, but you do not believe it because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me, and I give them eternal life, and they shall never be lost, and no one shall tear them out of my hands. What my Father has intrusted to me is of more importance than everything else, and no one can tear anything out of the Father's hands. The Father and I are one." The Jews again picked up stones to stone him with. Jesus answered, "I have let you see many good things from the Father; which of them do you mean to stone me for?" The Jews answered, "We are not stoning you for doing anything good, but for your impious talk, and because you, a mere man, make yourself out to be God."
So the garrison and the colonel and the attendants of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him, and they took him first to Annas. For he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their interest that one man should die for the people.

Pilate had written a placard and had it put on the cross; it read "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews." Many of the Jews read this placard, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. So the Jewish high priests said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but write 'He said, I am the king of the Jews.' "
Now after the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the days of King Herod, astrologers from the east arrived at Jerusalem, and asked, "Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star rise and we have come to do homage to him."
Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "Yes."
So Pilate went back into the governor's house and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the barracks, and got the whole battalion together about him. And they stripped him and put a red cloak on him, and made a wreath of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a stick in his hand, and knelt down before him in mockery, saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!"read more.
And they spat at him, and took the stick and struck him on the head. And when they had finished making sport of him, they took off the cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
Then the soldiers took him inside the courtyard, that is, of the governor's residence, and they called the whole battalion together. And they dressed him up in a purple cloak, and made a wreath of thorns and crowned him with it, and they began to acclaim him, "Long live the king of the Jews!"read more.
And they struck him on the head with a stick and spat at him, and they knelt down and did homage to him. When they had finished making sport of him, they took off the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they took him out of the city to crucify him.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. And the soldiers made a wreath out of thorns and put it on his head, and put a purple coat on him, and they marched up to him, saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!" each one giving him a blow.read more.
And Pilate went outside again and said to the Jews, "See! I will bring him out to you, to show you that I can find nothing to charge him with." So Jesus came out, still wearing the wreath of thorns and the purple coat. And Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!" When the high priests and their attendants saw him, they shouted, "Have him crucified! Have him crucified!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and have him crucified, for I can find nothing to charge him with."
Now at festival time he used to set free for them one prisoner, whom they petitioned for. There was in prison a man called Barabbas, among some revolutionaries who in their outbreak had committed murder. And a crowd of people came up and started to ask him for the usual favor.read more.
Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to set the king of the Jews free for you?" For he knew that the high priests had handed him over to him out of envy. But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to set Barabbas free for them instead. And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man you call the king of the Jews?" They shouted back, "Crucify him!" And Pilate said to them, "Why, what has he done that is wrong?" But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"
Pilate said to him, "What is truth!" With these words he went outside again to the Jews, and said to them, "I can find nothing to charge him with. But it is your custom to have me release one man for you at Passover time. Do you want me therefore to release the king of the Jews for you?" Then they shouted back, "No! Not him, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
