ABU(i)
10 But when his brothers were gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said: Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man; others said: Nay, but he misleads the multitude.
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
14 But when it was already the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How knows this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 If any one desires to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.
18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
19 Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you keeps the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a demon; who seeks to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them: I did one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses has for this cause given you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers; and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I made a man altogether whole on the sabbath?
24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge the righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of those of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Did the rulers know in truth that this is the Christ?
27 But we know this man, whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is.
28 Jesus therefore cried, teaching in the temple and saying: Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.
30 Therefore they sought to seize him; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 But of the multitude many believed on him, and said: When the Christ comes, will he work more signs than these which this man wrought?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
33 Jesus therefore said: Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him who sent me.
34 Ye will seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye can not come.
35 The Jews said therefore among themselves: Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What is this saying that he said: Ye will seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye can not come?
37 In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.
38 He that believes on me, as said the Scripture, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 And this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Some of the multitude therefore, hearing the words, said: Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Does the Christ then come out of Galilee?
42 Did not the Scripture say, that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 A division therefore arose among the multitude because of him.
44 And some of them desired to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them: Why did ye not bring him?
46 The officers answered: Never man spoke like this man.
47 The Pharisees answered them: Are ye also led astray?
48 Did any of the rulers believe on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 But this multitude, that know not the law, are accursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them):
51 Does our law judge a man, except it first hear from him, and know what he does?
52 They answered and said to him: Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 [And each one went to his house.
8 1 Jesus went to the mount of the Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and having sat down, he was teaching them.
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery; and having placed her in the midst,
4 they say to him: Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act:
5 Now in the law Moses commanded us, that such should be stoned; what then dost thou say?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with his finger in the ground.
7 And as they continued asking him, raising himself up, he said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast the stone at her.
8 And again stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
9 And they hearing it, and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 And Jesus raising himself up, and seeing none but the woman, said to her: Woman, where are they, thine accusers? Did no one condemn thee?
11 She said: No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her: Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more.]
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said to them: Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 And even if I judge, my judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 It is written also in your law, that the witness of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.
19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.
20 These words he spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Again therefore he said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and shall die in your sin. Whither I go, ye can not come.
22 The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself? because he says: Whither I go, ye can not come.
23 And he said to them: Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Therefore they said to him: Who art thou? And Jesus said to them: That which I also say to you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world.
27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Therefore Jesus said to them: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but as the Father taught me, those things I speak.
29 And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone; because I do always the things that please him.
30 As he spoke these words many believed on him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
33 They answered him: We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to any one. How sayest thou: Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them: Verily, verily, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a servant of sin.
35 And the servant abides not in the house forever.
36 The Son abides forever; if therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father; and ye therefore do what ye have heard from your father.
39 They answered and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus says to them: If ye were children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God. This Abraham did not.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said to him: We were not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
42 Jesus said to them: If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I came forth, and am come; neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye can not hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abides not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God hears God's words; ye therefore hear not, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews answered and said to him: Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered: I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 And I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeks, and judges.
51 Verily, verily, I say to you, if any one keep my saying, he shall not see death, forever.
52 The Jews said to him: Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If a man keep my saying, he shall not taste of death, forever.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It is my Father that honors me, of whom ye say, that he is your God.
55 And ye know him not; but I know him. And if I say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56 Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.
59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
9 1 AND passing along, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying: Master, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?
3 Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. Night is coming, when none can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Having thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is interpreted, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sits and begs?
9 Some said: This is he; and others: He is like him; he said: I am he.
10 Therefore they said to him: How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered: A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash. And I went away and washed, and received sight.
12 They said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not.
13 They bring to the Pharisees him who before was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him, how he received sight. He said to them: He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, because 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.
17 They say to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, seeing that he opened thine eyes? He said: He is a Prophet.
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him that received sight.
19 And they asked them, saying: Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then does he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.
21 But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age; ask him. He shall speak for himself.
22 These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one acknowledged him as Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
24 They therefore called a second time the man that was blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered therefore: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 They therefore said to him: What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them: I told you already, and ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear again? Will ye also become his disciples?
28 They reviled him, and said: Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this man we know not, whence he is.
30 The man answered and said to them: Why herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God hears not sinners. But if any one is a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
32 Since the world began, it was not heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said to him: Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they cast him out; and finding him, he said to him: Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said: Who then is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that talks with thee.
38 And he said: Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
39 And Jesus said: For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not may see, and that they who see may become blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him: Are we also blind?
41 Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would not have sin. But now ye say: We see. Your sin remains!
10 1 VERILY, verily, I say to you: He that enters not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters in through the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 And when he has put forth all his own, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spoke Jesus to them; but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
7 Therefore said Jesus to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If any one enter in through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
13 The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and am known by mine,
15 as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 For this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from my Father.
19 Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.
20 And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?
21 Others said: These are not the words of one that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 And there came the feast of the dedication, in Jerusalem; and it was winter.
23 And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
24 The Jews therefore came around him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold us in doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them: I told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.
26 But ye do not believe; for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
28 and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
31 The Jews therefore took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture can not be broken,
36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know, that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
39 Therefore they sought again to seize him; and he went forth, out of their hand.
40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing; and there he abode.
41 And many came to him, and said: John indeed wrought no sign; but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.
11 1 Now a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, from the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 And Jesus hearing it, said: This sickness is not for death, but for the sake of the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he then abode two days in the place where he was.
7 Then after this he says to the disciples: Let us go into Judaea again.
8 The disciples say to him: Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
10 But if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
11 These things said he; and after this he says to them: Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Therefore his disciples said: Lord if he has fallen asleep, he will be restored.
13 But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he said it of taking rest in sleep.
14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that ye may believe. But let us go to him.
16 Therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Having come therefore, Jesus found that he had already been four days in the tomb.
18 Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, went and met him; but Mary sat in the house.
21 Then said Martha to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But even now, I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus says to her: Thy brother will rise again.
24 Martha says to him: I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he be dead, yet shall he live;
26 and whoever lives and believes on me, shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She says to him: Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.
28 And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying: The Teacher is come, and calls for thee.
29 And she, when she heard it, rises quickly and comes to him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying: She goes to the tomb to weep there.
32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell down at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, groaned in spirit, and was troubled.
34 And he said: Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said: Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused even that this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, comes to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus says: Take away the stone. The sister of him that was dead, Martha, says to him: Lord, by this time he is offensive; for he has been dead four days.
40 Jesus says to her: Said I not to thee, that, if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes upward, and said: Father, I thank thee that thou didst hear me.
42 And I knew that thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me.
43 And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus says to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what he did, believed on him.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did.
47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said: What do we, seeing that this man works many signs?
48 If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: Ye know nothing;
50 nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.
51 And this he spoke not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 and not for the nation only, but that also he should gather together into one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Therefore from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews; but departed thence to the country near to the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
56 They sought therefore for Jesus, and said among themselves, as they stood in the temple: What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might seize him.
12 1 THEREFORE Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
2 They therefore made him a supper there, and Martha served; and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
4 Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to betray him:
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denáries, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus: Let her alone; she has kept it to the day of my preparation for burial.
8 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
9 A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there. And they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 because by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus is coming to Jerusalem,
13 took branches of the palm-trees and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written:
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, thy King comes, Sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These things his disciples understood not at the first. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they did these things to him.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
18 For this the multitude also met him, because they heard that he had wrought this sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Perceive ye that ye avail nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks, of those who come up to worship at the feast.
21 These came therefore to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say to you, except the grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone; but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be. If any one serve me, him will the Father honor.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour! But for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice out of heaven: I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said that it thundered; others said: An angel has spoken to him.
30 Jesus answered and said: This voice came not for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.
33 This he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
34 The multitude answered him: We heard out of the law that the Christ abides forever; and how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
35 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes.
36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them.
37 But though he had wrought so many signs before them, they did not believe on him;
38 that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who believed our report, And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 He has blinded their eyes, And has hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, And understand with their heart, And turn, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Yet, even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 And Jesus cried and said: He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him who sent me.
45 And he that beholds me beholds him who sent me.
46 I have come a light into the world, that whoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness.
47 And if any one hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him. The word that I spokes that shall judge him in the last day.
49 Because I spoke not from myself; but the Father who sent me, he has given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is everlasting life. What things I speak therefore, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
13 1 AND before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour has come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.
2 And supper being served, the Devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3 knowing that the Father has given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and is going to God,
4 he rises from the supper, and lays aside his garments, and taking a towel he girded himself.
5 After that he pours water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
6 He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and Peter says to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter says to him: Never shalt thou wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter says to him: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus says to him: He that has bathed has no need save to wash the feet, but is wholly clean. And ye are clean; but not all.
11 For he knew his betrayer; therefore he said: Ye are not all clean.
12 When therefore he had washed their feet, he took his garments, and reclining again at table, said to them: Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me the Teacher, and the Master; and ye say well, for so I am.
14 If I then, the Master and the Teacher, washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, ye also should do.
16 Verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor one that is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18 I speak not of you all; I know whom I chose; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats the loaf with me lifted up his heel against me.
19 Even now I tell you, before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that receives whomsoever I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who sent me.
21 Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said: Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will betray me.
22 The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 And there was reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 To him therefore Simon Peter beckons, and says to him: Say who it is of whom he speaks.
25 And he, leaning back on Jesus' breast, says to him: Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answers: He it is, to whom I shall give the morsel, when I have dipped it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.
27 And after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him: What thou doest, do quickly.
28 And no one at the table knew for what intent he spoke this to him.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said to him: Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
30 He then, having received the morsel, went immediately out; and it was night.
31 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus says: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will straightway glorify him.
33 Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me; and as I said to the Jews, whither I go ye can not come, so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one toward another.
36 Simon Peter says to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterward.
37 Peter says to him: Lord, why can not I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 Jesus answers: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
14 1 LET not your heart be troubled. Believe on God, and believe on me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; because I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am ye may be also.
4 And ye know the way whither I go.
5 Thomas says to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how do we know the way?
6 Jesus says to him: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by me.
7 If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also; and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip says to him: Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.
9 Jesus says to him: Am I so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou: Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father who dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he shall do also, and greater than these shall he do, because I go to the Father.
13 And whatever ye shall ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will ask of the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you forever;
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can not receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him; but ye know him, because he abides with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall live also.
20 In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas says to him (not Iscariot): Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
23 Jesus answered and said to him: If any one loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 These things have I spoken to you, while abiding with you.
26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things which I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye heard how I said to you: I go away; and I come to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I go to the Father; because the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
30 I will no longer talk much with you; for the prince of the world comes, and in me he has nothing.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
15 1 I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit, he takes it away; and every one that bears fruit, he cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ye are already clean, through the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, if ye abide not in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, the same bears much fruit; because without me ye can do nothing.
6 If any one abide not in me, he is cast forth as the branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done to you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye shall become my disciples.
9 As the Father loved me, I also loved you; abide in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy be made full.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
15 No longer do I call you servants; because the servant knows not what his lord does. But I have called you friends because all things that I heard from my Father I made known to you.
16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you that ye may go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hates you, ye know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake, because they know not him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law: They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness of me.
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye are with me from the beginning.
16 1 THESE things I have spoken to you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, a time is coming, that every one who kills you will think he makes an offering to God.
3 And these things they will do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you. And these things I told you not from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 And now I go to him who sent me; and none of you asks me: Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart; for if I depart not, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he is come, he will convict the world, in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment;
9 of sin, in that they believe not on me;
10 of righteousness, in that I go to my Father, and ye behold me no more;
11 of judgment, in that the prince of this world has been judged.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye can not bear them now.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak, and he will tell you the things to come.
14 He will glorify me; because he will receive of mine, and will tell it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are mine. Therefore, I said, that he will receive of mine, and will tell it to you.
16 A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.
17 Therefore some of his disciples said to one another: What is this that he says to us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me; and, I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore: What is this that he says, A little while? We know not what he says.
19 Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them: Do ye inquire of this with one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has borne the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And so ye now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask nothing of me. Verily, verily, I say to you: Whatever ye shall ask of the Father, he will give it you in my name.
24 Hitherto ye asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 These things I have spoken to you in parables. A time is coming, when I will no more speak to you in parables, but I will tell you plainly of the Father.
26 In that day ye shall ask in my name. And I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you;
27 for the Father himself loves you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable.
30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them: Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that ye will be scattered, each one to his own, and will leave me alone; and I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
