1 Prologue: The Word Becomes Flesh In the beginning was the word, and the word was towards God, and the word was Divine.

2 This existed, in the beginning, with God.

3 All things created came into existence on account of it; and without it nothing created came into existence.

4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.

5 This light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it.

6 It happened that a man of God was sent. His name was John.

7 This one came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe in the light.

8 John was not the light, but was sent that he might testify concerning the light-

9 the true light, who by coming into the world enlightens every man.

10 He was in the world, and though the world had originated on account of him, the world recognised him not.

11 He came to his own people, and they of his own people rejected him.

12 But whoever accepts him, those who believe in his name, to them he gave the right to become children of God.

13 These were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 For this, the word became flesh, and indwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

15 John testifies of him and cries out, saying: This was he of whom I said: He that comes after me is ranked above me! For he was senior to me.

16 Of his fullness we all received, with grace upon grace.

17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made Him known.

19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him: Who are you?

20 He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed: I am not the Christ!

21 And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.

22 They replied to him: Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. How do you describe yourself?

23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord.

24 These priests and Levites had been sent from the Pharisees.

25 Again they asked him: Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

26 John answered: I baptize in water; but in the midst of you stands one whom you do not know.

27 He that comes after me, his shoelace I am not worthy to untie.

28 This incident took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him, and he said: Behold! The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!

30 This is he of whom I said: After me comes a man who is ranked above me. For he was senior to me.

31 I did not perceive him, but so he should be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I come baptizing in water.

32 And John testified, saying: I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.

33 I would not have perceived him except He that sent me to baptize in water, He had said to me: Upon whomsoever you shall see the Spirit descend and remain upon him, the same is he that baptizes in the Holy Spirit.

34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.

35 The next day John was standing with two of his disciples.

36 And he watched Jesus as he walked and said: Behold! The Lamb of God!

37 And the two disciples, hearing him speak, followed after Jesus.

38 Jesus turned around, and observing they were following him, said to them: What do you seek? And they replied: Rabbi (we would say Teacher). Where are you staying?

39 He said to them: Come, and you shall see. They went therefore, and saw where he stayed; and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

40 One of the two that had heard John and had followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41 The first thing he did was to find his brother Simon; and he said to him: We have found the Messiah (we would say Christ).

42 He took him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said: You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas (we call him Peter).

43 The next day Jesus decided to go into Galilee; and he found Philip. Jesus said to him: Follow me.

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote! Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46 And Nathanael said to him: Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, and said of him: Behold, a true Israelite in whom is no deceit!

48 Nathanael said to him: How is it you know me? Jesus answered: Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.

49 Nathanael answered him: Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel.

50 Jesus replied: Because I said to you: I saw you underneath the fig tree- do you believe? You shall see greater things than these!

51 And he said to him: Truly, truly, I say to you. You shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.

1 On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there;

2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage.

3 When they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to him: They have no wine!

4 Jesus said to her: Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour is not yet come.

5 His mother said to the servants: Whatever he commands you, do it!

6 Nearby there were six stone waterpots, placed there for the Jewish custom of purifications, each holding 75 to 115 litres

7 Jesus said to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them to the brim.

8 And he said to them: Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast. So they took it.

9 When the master of the feast tasted the water which had now become wine, and not knowing where it came from (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), he called to the bridegroom,

10 and said to him: Everyone serves good wine first, and when all have drunk freely, serves something inferior. But you have kept the good wine until now!

11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, thereby revealing his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and brothers and disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

13 The Passover of the Jews was at that time; and Jesus went to Jerusalem.

14 And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables.

15 He made a whip out of cords and drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

16 To them that sold the doves he said: Take these things away! Do not make my Father's house a market.

17 His disciples remembered that it was written: Zeal for Your house shall consume me.

18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him: What sign will you show us, seeing you do these things?

19 Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.

20 The Jews replied: Forty six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?

21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.

22 When he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spoke this, and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did.

24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he understood mankind,

25 and because he did not need any testimony concerning himself from any human being. For he understood what was in man.

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

2 The same came to him by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God. For no one can do the signs you do, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said to him: Truly, truly, I say to you: Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?

5 Jesus answered: Truly, truly, I say to you: Except one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Do not marvel at what I said to you: You must be born anew.

8 The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its sound, but do not know from where it comes and where it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel and yet do not understand these things?

11 Truly, truly, I say to you: We speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen; and you do not welcome our witness.

12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

13 No one has ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

15 that whoever believes may in him have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

18 He that believes in him is not condemned. He that does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the ground of condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light- for their works were evil.

20 For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in case his works should be reproved.

21 But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he stayed with them and baptized.

23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and people came to be baptized.

24 For John had not then been thrown into prison.

25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purification.

26 And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.

27 John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

28 You yourselves can testify that I said: I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, that stands by and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. In this my joy is made full.

30 He must increase but I must decrease.

31 He that comes from above is above all. He that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks. He that comes from heaven is above all.

32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

33 He that has received his witness has certified that God is true.

34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He does not give him the Spirit by measure.

35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

36 He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.

1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize but his disciples),

3 he left Judea and departed again into Galilee.

4 It was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.

5 So he came to the city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground which Jacob gave his son Joseph.

6 Jacob's well was also there. Jesus, being tired from his journey, sat tired by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water, and Jesus said to her: Give me a drink.

8 His disciples had gone into the city to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman replied to him: How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans).

10 Jesus answered and said to her: If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you: Give me a drink, you would have asked of him and he would have given you living water.

11 The woman said to him: Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?

12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said to her: Every one that drinks of this water shall thirst again,

14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst. The water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to eternal life.

15 The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I do not thirst ever again, nor come all the way here to get water.

16 Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband and come back here.

17 The woman answered and said to him: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You said well that you have no husband,

18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truthfully.

19 The woman said to him: Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father.

22 You worship that which you do not know. We worship what we know. For salvation is from the Jews.

23 But the hour comes and now is, when true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such worshipers are who the Father seeks.

24 God is Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

25 The woman said to him: I know that the Messiah is coming (he that is called Christ). When he comes, he will declare to us all things.

26 Jesus said to her: I that speak to you am he.

27 And upon this scene came his disciples, and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman. Yet no one said: What are you seeking? Or, Why do you speak with her?

28 So the woman left her waterpot and went away into the city, and said to the people:

29 Come, see a man who told me all things that I have ever done. Can this be the Christ?

30 They went out of the city and came to him.

31 In the meantime the disciples pleaded with him, saying: Rabbi, eat.

32 But he said to them: I have food to eat that you do not know.

33 The disciples queried each other: Has anyone brought him something to eat?

34 Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of Him that sent me and to accomplish His work.

35 Do you not say: There are yet four months and then comes the harvest? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white, ready to harvest.

36 He that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life; that he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

37 For herein is the saying true: One sows and another reaps.

38 I sent you to harvest that upon which you have not laboured; others have laboured, and you are taking over their labour.

39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified: He told me all things that I have ever done.

40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they pleaded with him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

41 And many more believed because of his word.

42 And they said to the woman: Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

43 And after two days he left for Galilee.

44 Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they also had gone up to the feast.

46 He came again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and pleaded that he would come to Capernaum and heal his son. For his son was at the point of death.

48 Jesus replied to him: Except you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.

49 The nobleman said to him: Sir, come before my child dies.

50 Jesus said to him: Go your way. Your son lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

51 And as he was going home, his servants met him, saying that his son lived.

52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They replied to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

53 The father knew that that was the hour when Jesus had said to him: Your son lives. And so he and his household believed.

54 This was the second sign that Jesus did, when he had gone from Judea to Galilee.

5

1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a crowd of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralysed, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and disturbed the water. Whoever was first to step into the pool, after the waters were disturbed, was healed of whatever disease he had.

5 One man there had been ill for thirty eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lying there, knowing he had been there a long time, he said to him: Would you be made whole?

7 The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is disturbed. As I approach someone else steps in front of me.

8 Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.

9 And straightway the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

10 So the Jews said to him who had been cured: It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

11 But he answered them: He that made me whole, the same said to me: Take up your bed and walk.

12 They asked him: Who is the man that said to you: Take up your bed and walk?

13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place

14 Afterwards, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him: Look, you are made whole. Sin no more, lest a worse thing befall you.

15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

16 And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them: My Father works even until now and therefore I also work.

18 For this cause the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath law, but he called God his own Father, making himself seem like God.

19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them: Truly, truly, I say to you: The Son can do nothing of himself but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever works He does, these the Son does in like manner.

20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all things that Himself does; and greater works than these will He show him, that you may marvel.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he will.

22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father that sent him.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that hears my word and believes Him that sent me has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed out of death into life.

25 Truly, truly, I say to you: The hour comes and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given the Son life in himself.

27 And He has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is a Son of Man.

28 Marvel not at this! For the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of Him that sent me.

31 If I testify of myself, my witness is not true.

32 It is another that testifies of me; and I know that the witness which He testifies of me is true.

33 You asked John the Baptist, and he has testified to the truth.

34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man; but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 He was the lamp that burns and shines, and you were willing to rejoice for a period in his light.

36 But the witness which I have is greater than that of John. For the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify that the Father has sent me.

37 And the Father that sent me, He has testified of me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape.

38 And you do not have His word dwelling in you, for you do not believe the one whom He has sent.

39 You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of me;

40 but you will not come to me, so that you may have life.

41 I receive not glory from men.

42 But I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.

43 I come in my Father's Name, and you do not accept me. If another shall come in his own name, you will accept him.

44 How can you believe, you who accept praise from each other, but do not seek the praise that comes from the only God?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuses you, Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me. For he wrote of me.

47 But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe my words?

6

1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he performed on those that were sick.

3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

5 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd came to him, said to Philip: Where are we to buy bread that these may eat?

6 And this he said to test him. For he knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him: Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him:

9 There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these among so many?

10 Jesus said: Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 Jesus therefore took the loaves and having given thanks, he distributed them to those that were sitting down. Likewise also the fishes, as much as they could eat.

12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, so nothing goes to waste.

13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

14 When the people saw the sign which he did, they said: This is of a truth the prophet that comes into the world!

15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

16 And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.

17 And they entered into a boat and were going over by sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18 And the sea was rising because of a great wind that blew.

19 When therefore they had rowed about five or six kilometres, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

20 But he said to them: It is I! Be not afraid!

21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

22 On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

23 (Some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks).

24 When the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when did you come here?

26 Jesus answered them and said: Truly, truly, I say to you: You seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

27 Do not labour for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set His seal of approval.

28 They replied to him: What must we do, that we may work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God- that you believe in him whom He has sent.

30 They replied to him: What then will you do for a sign, so that we may see and believe you? What work will you do?

31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

32 Jesus replied to them: Truly, truly, I say to you: It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father; who now gives you the true bread out of heaven.

33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

34 They replied to him: Lord, always give us this bread.

35 Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that comes to me shall not hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst.

36 But I say to you: That you have seen me, and still you do not believe.

37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will in no way reject.

38 For I came down from Heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me.

39 And this is the will of Him that sent me, that of all which He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

40 For this is the will of my Father: That every one that sees the Son and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said: I am the bread which came down out of Heaven.

42 And they said: Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, I came down out of Heaven?

43 Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.

44 No one can come to me, except the Father that sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught by God. Everyone therefore who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, save he that is from God, he has seen the Father.

47 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that believes has eternal life.

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.

51 I am the living bread which came down out of Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever. Yes! The bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world.

52 The Jews therefore argued with each other, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53 Jesus replied to them: Truly, truly, I say to you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.

56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.

57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he that eats me, he also shall live because of me.

58 This is the bread which came down out of Heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever.

59 These things said he in the synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum.

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said: This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Does this cause you to stumble?

62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?

63 It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

64 But there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

65 And he said: For this cause have I said to you, that no one can came to me, except it be given to him of the Father.

66 Upon this many of his disciples withdrew, and no longer walked with him.

67 Jesus asked the twelve: Would you also go away?

68 Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69 And we have believed and know that you are the Holy One of God.

70 Jesus answered them: Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?

71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for he was the one of those twelve who would betray him.

7

1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.

3 His brothers said to him: Depart from here and go into Judea, so your disciples may also see the works you do.

4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.

5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.

6 Jesus replied to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

8 You go up to the feast. I will not be going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.

9 And having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

10 But when his brothers had gone to the feast, then he also went to it, not publicly but as it were in secret.

11 The Jews searched for him at the feast, and asked: Where is he?

12 And there was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: Not so. He deceives the people.

13 Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.

14 When the feast was half way through, Jesus went into the temple and taught.

15 The Jews marvelled, saying: How is it that this man has learning, when he has never had an education?

16 Jesus answered them and said: My teaching is not mine, but His that sent me.

17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know of this teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak from myself.

18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of Him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 Did not Moses give you the law and yet none of you does the law? Why do you seek to kill me?

20 The crowd answered: You are crazy! Who seeks to kill you?

21 Jesus answered and said to them: I did one work and you all marvel because of it!

22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses but of the fathers) and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely whole on the Sabbath?

24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

25 Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem asked: Is this not he whom they seek to kill?

26 And lo, he speaks openly and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

27 However we know from where this man is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows from where he is.

28 Therefore Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and know from where I am, and that I have not come of myself. But He that sent me is true, whom you do not know.

29 I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent me.

30 Therefore they sought to take him, but no one laid his hand on him- because his hour had not yet come.

31 But of the crowd many believed in him; and they said: When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than those which this man has done?

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.

33 Jesus replied: Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to Him that sent me.

34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.

35 The Jews queried among themselves: Where will this man go that we shall not find him? Will he go to the diaspora among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

36 What is his meaning when he said: You shall seek me and shall not find me; and, Where I am, you cannot come?

37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If anyone thirsts, let him came to me and drink.

38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said: From within him shall flow rivers of living water.

39 He spoke of the Spirit, which they that believed in him were to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been received, as Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40 Therefore some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said: This is truly the prophet!

41 Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: What! Does the Christ come out of Galilee?

42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was born?

43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.

44 And some of them would have taken him; but no one laid hands on him.

45 The officers went to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them: Why did you not bring him?

46 The officers answered: Never has a man spoken like this man!

47 The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also led astray?

48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?

49 But this rabble, which does not know the law, are accursed!

50 Nicodemus (he that had earlier come to him by night, being one of them)

51 said to them: Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and knowing what he is doing?

52 They answered and said to him: Are you also of Galilee? Search the scrolls and you will see, that no prophet is to rise from Galilee.

53 At that, each of them went home.

1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he again went into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.

3 And the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery; and having placed her before him,

4 they said to him: Teacher. This woman has been caught in the very act of adultery!

5 Now, in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?

6 And this they said to test him, so they might have some reason to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

7 But when they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground.

9 And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, to the last; and Jesus was left alone with the woman, with her still standing in the middle.

10 And Jesus stood up and said to her: Woman! Where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?

11 And she said: No one, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From this time forward, sin no more.

12 Again Jesus spoke to the crowd, 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 replied to him: You testify of yourself. Your witness is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said to them: Even if I testify of myself, my witness is true. For I know from where I came and where I go; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I go to.

15 You judge after the flesh. I judge no one.

16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and He who sent me

17 Even in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

18 I am he that testifies of myself; and the Father that sent me testifies of me.

19 They replied to him: Where is your Father? Jesus answered: You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.

20 These words spoke he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; and no one took him- because his hour had not yet come.

21 He replied again to them: I go away, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come.

22 The Jews replied: Will he kill himself? Because he said: Where I go, you cannot come.

23 And he said to them: You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

24 I replied to you, that you shall die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

25 They replied to him: Who are you? Jesus said to them: Even that which I have spoken to you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, He that sent me is true, and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.

27 They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

28 Jesus continued: When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.

29 And He that sent me is with me. He has not left me alone. For I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.

30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

31 Jesus replied to those Jews that had believed him: If you abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

33 They answered him: We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to anyone. What do you mean, you shall be made free?

34 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly, I say to you: Everyone who commits sin is the servant of sin.

35 And the servant does not stay in the house for ever. The son stays forever.

36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

37 I know that you are Abraham's seed. Yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

38 I speak the things which I have seen with my Father, and you also do the things which you heard from your father.

39 They answered and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.

41 You do the works of your father. They said to him: We were not born of fornication. We have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, you would love me. For I came forth and am come from God. For neither have I come of myself, but He sent me.

43 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word!

44 You are of your father the Devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

47 He that is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear them, because you are not of God.

48 The Jews answered and said to him: Say we not well that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?

49 Jesus answered: I do not have a demon. I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

50 I do not seek my own glory. There is One that seeks and judges.

51 Truly, truly, I say to you: If a man keeps my word, he shall never see death.

52 The Jews said to him: Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, but you say: If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died, and the prophets who died? Whom do you make yourself?

54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, whom you say is your God.

55 You have not known Him, but I know Him; and if I should say I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar; but I know Him and keep His word.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it, and rejoiced.

57 The Jews replied to him: You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said to them: Truly, truly, I say to you: I am of higher status than Abraham ever was.

59 Therefore they took up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

9

1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

3 Jesus answered: Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

4 We must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day. The night comes, when no one can work.

5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

7 and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which means Sent). He went away therefore and washed, and went home seeing.

8 His neighbours and those that had seen him previously, as a beggar, said: Is this not he that sat and begged?

9 Others said: It is he. Others said: No, but he is like him. He said: I am he.

10 They replied to him: How then were your eyes opened?

11 He answered: The man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to Siloam and wash. So I went away and washed, and I received sight.

12 And they said to him: Where is he? He said: I do not know.

13 They took him that was previously blind to the Pharisees.

14 Now it was the Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

15 So the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and I could see.

16 Therefore, some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, because he keeps not the Sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.

17 Therefore they said to the man born blind: What do you say concerning him, in that he opened your eyes? And he said: He is a prophet!

18 The Jews did not believe him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called his parents,

19 and asked them: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?

20 His parents answered and said: We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

21 But how he now sees, we do not know. Or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him! He is of age. He shall speak for himself.

22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had agreed already, that if anyone should confess him to be Christ, he should be thrown out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore his parents replied: He is of age, ask him!

24 So they questioned the man that was born blind a second time, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.

25 He answered: Whether he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I know, whereas I was blind, now I see.

26 They replied to him: What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?

27 He answered them: I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Would you also become his disciples?

28 And they reviled him and said: You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know from where he came.

30 The man answered and said to them: This is the marvel! You do not know from where he came, even though he opened my eyes.

31 We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone be a worshiper of God and does His will, him He hears!

32 Since the world began it has never been heard of a man born blind having his eyes opened.

33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

34 They answered and said to him: You were altogether born in sins, and you teach us! And they excommunicated him.

35 Jesus heard that they had excommunicated him; and on finding him, he said: Do you believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?

37 Jesus said to him: You have both seen him, and he it is that speaks with you.

38 And he said: Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

39 And Jesus said: For judgment I came into this world, that they that cannot see may see, and that they that see may become blind.

40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind?

41 Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say: We see, therefore your sin remains.

10

1 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that enters not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name and leads them out.

4 When he brings out all his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

5 A stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him. For they do not know the voice of strangers.

6 This parable spoke Jesus to them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7 Jesus then said to them: Again, truly, truly, I say to you: I am the door of the sheepfold.

8 All that came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door. By me if anyone enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.

10 The thief only comes so that he may steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

13 He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own and my own know me.

15 Even 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 they shall become one flock with one shepherd.

17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it again.

18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. This command I received from my Father.

19 Because of these words, again a division arose among the Jews.

20 And many of them said: He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?

21 Others said: These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon possessed person open the eyes of the blind?

22 It was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem.

23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple along Solomon's porch.

24 The Jews surrounded him and said to him: How long do you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them: I told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify of me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

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, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

30 I and the Father are one.

31 Once again the Jews took up stones to stone him.

32 Jesus said to them: Many good works have I shown you from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?

33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself as God!

34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you are gods?

35 If he called those men gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),

36 do you say of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world: You blaspheme, 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 them, though you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and understand, that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.

40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.

41 Many came to him. And they said: John did no miracle, but everything that John said about this man was true.

42 And many believed in him there.

11

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

2 And it was that Mary who had 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, he whom you love is sick.

4 But when Jesus heard it, he said: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that thereby the Son of God may be glorified.

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 When he heard that Lazarus was sick, he therefore stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

7 Then after this, he said to the disciples: Let us go into Judea again.

8 The disciples said to him: Rabbi, only a few days ago the Jews wanted to stone you; and you want to go there again?

9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

11 These things he spoke, and after this he said to them: Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep, but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12 The disciples replied to him: Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

13 Now Jesus had spoken of Lazarus' death; but they thought that he spoke of Lazarus taking rest in sleep.

14 Then Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.

16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17 So when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in his tomb for four days.

18 Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about three kilometres away.

19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.

20 Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary stayed in the house.

21 Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 And even now, I know that whatever you shall ask of God, God will give you.

23 Jesus said to her: Your brother shall rise again.

24 Martha said to him: I know that he shall 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 die, yet shall he live.

26 And whoever lives and believes on me shall never die. Do you believe this?

27 She said to him: Yes, Lord. I have believed you are the Christ, the Son of God, he that is to come into the world.

28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here and calls you.

29 And she, when she heard it, arose quickly and went to him.

30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him).

31 The Jews then who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32 Therefore, when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who had come with her, he groaned in the spirit and was disturbed,

34 and said: Where have you laid him? They said to him: Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews said: Look how he loved him!

37 But some of them said: Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have also caused that this man should not have died?

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay across it.

39 Jesus said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him: Lord, by this time the body stinks. For he has been dead four days.

40 Jesus said to her: Did I not say to you, that if you believed, you should see the glory of God?

41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said: Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

42 And I know you hear me always, but because of the crowd that stands around I said it, that they may believe you did send me.

43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come out!

44 He that was dead came out, bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go away.

45 Therefore, many of the Jews who had come to Mary and saw what he did, believed in him.

46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

47 The chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said: What will we do? For this man does many miracles.

48 If we leave him alone, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing at all,

50 nor do you take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, so that the whole nation does not perish.

51 Now this he said 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 he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

53 So from that day forward, they took advice how they might put him to death.

54 Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he stayed with the disciples.

55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand; and many from the countryside went to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.

56 They looked for Jesus, and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple: What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?

57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they were to inform them, so that they might arrest him.

12

1 Therefore, six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

2 So they made him supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of them that sat and ate with him.

3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one that would betray him, said:

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred dinarii and given to the poor?

6 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

7 Jesus replied: Leave her alone, she intended to keep it for the day of my burial.

8 The poor you have always with you, but me you do not have always.

9 The common people of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death,

11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

12 The next day, a great crowd that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out: Hosanna! Blessed is he that comes in the Name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat upon it- as it is written:

15 Fear not, daughter of Zion! Look, your King comes, sitting on an donkey's colt.

16 These things his disciples did not understand at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

17 The crowd that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, made testimony.

18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, for they heard that he had done this miracle.

19 The Pharisees complained to one another: You see that you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.

20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went to worship at the feast.

21 These went to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him: Sir, can we see Jesus?

22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

23 Jesus told them: The hour comes that the Son of Man should be glorified.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you: Except a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25 He that loves his life loses it, and he that hates his life in this world, shall keep it to everlasting life.

26 If anyone desires to serve me, he must follow me. Where I am, there shall also my servant be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honour him.

27 Now is my soul disturbed; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this cause came I to this hour.

28 Father, glorify your name. Therefore, there came a voice out of Heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said an angel had spoken to him.

30 Jesus responded: This voice has not come 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 am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.

33 But this he said to signify by what manner of death he should die.

34 The crowd asked him: We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides forever; and how do you say: The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?

35 Jesus replied to them: Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you. He that walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, then he departed and hid himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him.

38 So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, when he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 Because of this they could not believe, because Isaiah also said:

40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts, and turn, so that I should heal them.

41 These things said Isaiah, because he foresaw his glory, and he spoke about him.

42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue.

43 For they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.

44 And Jesus cried and said: He that believes on me does not believe on me, but on him that sent me.

45 And he that sees me, sees him that sent me.

46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

47 And if anyone hear my sayings and keep them not, I judge him not. For I came not to judge the world but to save the world.

48 He that rejects me and receives not my sayings has one that judges him. The word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father that 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. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me: So I speak.

13

1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come, that he should depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 And during supper, when the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

4 rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel.

5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him: Lord, are you going to wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said to him: What I am doing you do not comprehend now, but later you shall understand.

8 Peter said to him: You shall never wash my feet! Jesus answered him: If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.

9 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, wash not only my feet but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus said to him: He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you.

11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said: Not all of you are clean.

12 So when he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and sat down again, he said to them: Do you comprehend what I have done to you?

13 You call me teacher and lord, and you say well; for so I am.

14 If I then, your lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

16 Truly, truly, I say to you: A servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one sent greater than he that sent him.

17 If you know these things, and if you do them, you will be blessed.

18 I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but the scripture must be fulfilled: He that eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.

19 From this time forward I will tell you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.

20 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that receives whoever I send receives me, and he that receives me, receives Him that sent me.

21 When Jesus had said this, he was disturbed in his spirit, and testified: Truly, truly, I say to you: One of you shall betray me.

22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering of whom he spoke.

23 There was at the table reclining on Jesus' chest one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 Simon Peter motioned to him, and said to him: Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.

25 He leaning back, as he was on Jesus' breast, said to him: Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered: It is he to whom I gave the morsel of bread after I dipped it. When he had dipped the morsel, he had given it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 Then after Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him: What you are about to do, do quickly.

28 Now no one at the table knew for what reason Jesus spoke this to Judas.

29 Some thought because Judas had the money bag, that Jesus said to him: Buy what things we have need of for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.

30 He then having received the morsel went out immediately into the night. Jesus Predicts Peter's Denials

31 When he was gone, Jesus said: Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

32 And God shall glorify him in Himself, and will glorify him immediately.

33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me, but as I said to the Jews, where I go, you cannot come. So now I say to you.

34 A new commandment I give to you: Love one another. Even as I have loved you, you also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know you are my disciples- if you have love for one another.

36 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered: Where I go, you cannot follow now, but you shall follow afterwards.

37 Peter said to him: Lord, why cannot I follow you even now? I will lay down my life for you!

38 Jesus answered: Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you: The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times.

14

1 Do not let your heart be disturbed. Believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. 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, there you may be also.

4 And where I go, you know the way.

5 Thomas said to him: Lord, we do not know where you go. How do we discern the way?

6 Jesus said to him: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.

7 If you had truly known me, you would have truly known my Father also. From this time forward you will truly know Him and will have seen Him.

8 Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.

9 Jesus said to him: Philip, have I been with you such a long time, and still you do not truly know me? He that has seen me has seen the Father. How do you ask: Show us the Father?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself; but the Father abiding in me does His works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.

12 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that believes in me, the works that I do, shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to the Father.

13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.

15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that he may be with you for ever-

17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive. For it neither sees him nor knows him. You truly know him, for he abides with you and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you desolate as orphans. I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you shall live also.

20 In that day, you shall truly know that I am in my Father, and you 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 of my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him: Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?

23 Jesus answered and said to him: If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him; and we will come to him and make our home with him.

24 He that does not love me, does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

25 These things have I spoken to you, while still with you.

26 But the comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and cause you to remember all that I said to you.

27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, do I give it to you. Let not your heart be disturbed, neither let it be fearful.

28 You heard how I said to you: I go away and I come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father. For the Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

30 I will no longer say much to you. For the prince of the world comes; but he has no claim on me.

31 And he comes so that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, thus I shall now do. Arise, let us leave here.

15

1 I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that carries no fruit, he prunes away; and every branch that carries fruit, he cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit.

3 Already you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so neither can you, except you abide in me.

5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, the same carries much fruit. For severed from me you can do nothing.

6 If a man does not abide in me, he is thrown out as a branch and withers, and these are gathered and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will and it shall be done to you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so shall you be my disciples.

9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.

10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

12 This is my commandment: That you love one another, even as I have loved you.

13 Greater love has no one than this: That a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 You are my friends, if you do the things which I command you.

15 No longer do I call you servants. For the servant does not know what his lord does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. So that whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it to you.

17 These things I command you, so that you may love one another.

18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore 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 word, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they do not truly know Him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse 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 man did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25 All this happens so that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law: They hated me without a cause.

26 And when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me.

27 And you also shall testify, because you have been with me from the beginning

16

1 These things have I spoken to you, so that you should not be made to stumble.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming, when whoever kills you shall think that he offers service to God.

3 And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father nor me.

4 But these things have I spoken to you, so that when the time comes, you may remember what I told you. And these things I did not say to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go to Him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where do you go?

6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. I will send him to you.

8 And he, when he comes, will convict the world in respect of sin and of righteousness and of judgment.

9 Of sin, because they do not believe in me.

10 Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you see me no more.

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he shall guide you into all the truth. For he shall not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, these shall he speak; and he shall declare to you the things that are to come.

14 He shall glorify me; for he shall take what is mine and shall declare it to you.

15 All things, whatever the Father has, are mine. Therefore I said: that he shall take of mine and declare it to you.

16 A little while, and you will see me no more; and then a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 Some of his disciples questioned each other: What is this that he said to us? A little while and you will see me no more; and then a little while and you shall see me, because I go to the Father?

18 They said: What is this that he said? A little while? We cannot decipher what he said.

19 Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them: Do you inquire among yourselves what I said? A little while and you will see me no more, and then a little while and you shall see me?

20 Truly, truly, I say to you: You shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy!

21 A woman when she is in labour has sorrow, because her hour comes; but when she has delivered the child, she does not remember her anguish, because of her joy that a child is born into the world.

22 You now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one will take away from you.

23 And in that day, you shall ask me no questions. Truly, truly, I say to you: If you shall ask anything of the Father, He will give it you in my name.

24 So far you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

25 These things have I spoken to you in figurative language. The hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in figurative language, but shall show you plainly about the Father.

26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you.

27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.

28 I came from the Father and came into the world. Now I leave the world and go to the Father.

29 His disciples said: Now you speak plainly and not in figurative language!

30 Now we are sure that you know all things, and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe you came from God.

31 Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?

32 Behold, the hour comes, yes, has come, when you shall be scattered, every man to his own home, and you shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things have I spoken to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.

17

1 Jesus' Prayer to God These things spoke Jesus, and lifting up his eyes to Heaven, he said: Father, the hour comes. Glorify Your son, that the son may glorify you,

2 even as You gave him authority over all flesh, so that he should give eternal life to all whom You have given him.

3 And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true God, and him whom You sent, Jesus Christ.

4 I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You gave me to do.

5 And now Father, glorify me with Your own self with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

6 I manifested Your Name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were and You gave them to me, and they have kept Your word.

7 Now they know that all things, whatever You have given me, are from You.

8 For the words which You gave me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew as a truth that I came forth from You; and they believed that You did send me.

9 I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom You have given me; for they are Yours.

10 All things that are mine are Yours, and Yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

11 I am no more in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them whom You have given me in Your Name, that they may be one, even as we are one.

12 While I was with them, I kept them in Your Name which You have given me, and I guarded them; and not one of them perished except the son of perdition, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 Now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

14 I have given them Your word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 I do not pray that You should take them out from the world, but that You should keep them from the evil.

16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth.

18 As You sent me into the world, even so I send them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they may also be sanctified in truth.

20 Neither for these only do I pray, but for those also that believe in me through their word;

21 that they may all be one, even as You, Father, are in me and I in You, that they may also be one in us; that the world may believe You did send me.

22 And the glory which You have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one.

23 I in them and You in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know You did send me and that You have loved them just as You loved me.

24 Father, I desire that they also whom You have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which You have given me. For You loved me from before the foundation of the world.

25 O righteous Father, the world did not know You; but I knew You, and these knew that You sent me.

26 And I declared to them Your Name, and will declare it, so that the love with which You loved me may be in them, and I in them.

18

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.

2 Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, also knew the place. For Jesus often met there with his disciples.

3 Judas along with a detachment of temple guards whom he had been given, and the servants of the chief priests, and the Pharisees, arrived there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4 Jesus knowing all the things that must come upon him, went forward and said to them: Whom do you seek?

5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them: I am he (Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing with them).

6 When he said to them: I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Again he asked them: Whom do you seek? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered: I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way-

9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke: Of those whom you have given me I lost not one.

10 Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.

11 Jesus said to Peter: Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

12 So the detachment of temple guards and their chief captain and the magistrates' attendants of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,

13 and led him to Annas first. For he was father in law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14 It was Caiaphas that had counselled the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest; and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

16 But Peter was standing outside the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept watch at the door.

17 The maid keeping watch at the door said to Peter: Are you also one of this man's disciples? He said: I am not!

18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals. For it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

19 The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I often taught in the synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and have never spoken in secret.

21 Why do you ask me? Ask those that have heard me what I spoke to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.

22 And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying: Do you answer the high priest so?

23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil, but if well, why do you hit me?

24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him: Are you also one of his disciples? He denied and said: I am not!

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?

27 Peter denied again; and immediately the cock crew.

28 They lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium; but it was early, and so they did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled and might eat the Passover.

29 Pilate went out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?

30 They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to you.

31 Pilate replied to them: Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.

32 That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what manner of death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore went into the Praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered: Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell it to you concerning me?

35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?

36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews, but my kingdom is not from here.

37 Pilate replied to him: Are you a king then? Jesus answered: You say that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end I came into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone that is of the truth hears my voice.

38 Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them: I find no crime in him!

39 But you have a custom, that I should release to you one prisoner at the Passover. Will you have me release to you the King of the Jews?

40 Therefore they cried out: Not this man but Barabbas! (Now Barabbas was a bandit).

19

1 So Pilate had Jesus scourged.

2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple garment.

3 And they came to him, and said: Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck him with their hands.

4 Pilate went out again to the Jews, and said: Look, I bring him out to you, so you may know that I find no crime in him.

5 Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate said to them: Behold the man!

6 When the chief priests and the servants saw him, they cried out: Crucify him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves and crucify him. For I find no crime in him.

7 The Jews answered him: We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

8 When Pilate heard this he was even more afraid.

9 And he went back into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus: Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Pilate said to him: Why do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have the power to release you and have the power to crucify you?

11 Jesus answered him: You would have no power against me unless it was given to you from above. So the man that delivered me to you has the greater sin.

12 Upon this, Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone that makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!

13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 Now it was the preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour, and he said to the Jews: Behold, your King!

15 They cried out: Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar!

16 Therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified.

17 So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one and Jesus between them.

19 Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And there was written: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.

20 This title many of the Jews read, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin and in Greek.

21 The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Do not write, The King of the Jews; but that: He claimed, I am King of the Jews.

22 Pilate answered: What I have written I have written.

23 The soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

24 They said to each other, Let us not tear it but cast lots for it, to determine whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said: They divided my garments among them, and for my robe they cast lots.

25 These things the soldiers did. There was standing by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he said to his mother: Woman, behold your son!

27 Then he said to the disciple: Behold, your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, so that the scripture might be accomplished, said: I thirst.

29 Nearby was a vessel full of vinegar. So they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon a hyssop stick, and held it to his mouth.

30 When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said: It is finished! And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 The Jews, because it was the preparation day, and so that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the Sabbath (for the day of that Sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs be broken so that they might be taken away.

32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that was crucified with him.

33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs.

34 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out of his side.

35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

36 For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken.

37 And again another scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.

38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. Therefore he came and took his body away.

39 And there came also Nicodemus, he who came to him at the first by night; but now he brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as it is the custom of the Jews to bury.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb wherein no one had lain.

42 There, because of the Jews' preparation day, they laid Jesus (for the tomb was nearby).

20

1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

2 She ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them: They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!

3 Peter with the other disciple therefore went out and went to the tomb.

4 They ran there together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb.

5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not enter.

6 Simon Peter arrived behind him and entered into the tomb, and he saw the linen cloths lying there,

7 and the napkin that had been upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.

8 Then the other disciple also entered, he who had arrived first to the tomb; and he saw and believed.

9 For as yet they did not understand the scripture that he must rise from the dead.

10 So the disciples went away again to their own home.

11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb.

12 And she saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they said to her: Woman, why do you weep? She said to them: Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.

14 When she had said this, she turned herself around and saw Jesus standing there; but did not know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her: Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him: Sir, if you have taken him from here, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus said to her: Mary. She turned and said to him: Rabboni! Which is to say, teacher.

17 Jesus said to her: Don't keep touching me; for I am not right now going to ascend to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.

18 Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples: I have seen the Lord! And she told them that he had said these things to her.

19 When it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and for fear of the Jews, the doors were locked where the disciples were; and Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them: Peace to you.

20 And when he had said this, he showed to them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Jesus again said to them: Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples told him: We have seen the Lord! But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them, and said: Peace to you.

27 Then he said to Thomas: Reach here your finger and see my hands, and reach here your hand and put it into my side; and be not faithless but believing.

28 Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus said to him: Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and have believed.

30 Many other signs Jesus did in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book.

31 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in his name.

21

1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself in this way:

2 There was together Simon Peter and Thomas called Didymus and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and another two of his disciples.

3 Simon Peter said to them: I am going fishing. They said to him: We will go with you. They went out and entered into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 Jesus called to them: Boys, have you something to eat? They answered him: No.

6 And he said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you shall find. There they cast their net; and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fish.

7 That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord! So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat about him (for he was naked) and threw himself into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, only about meters from shore), dragging the net full of fishes.

9 So when they reached the shore, they got out of the boat; and saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon and bread.

10 Jesus said to them: Bring some of the fish which you have now taken.

11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

12 Jesus said to them: Come. Break your fast. And none of the disciples did inquire of him: Who are you? Knowing that it was the Lord.

13 Jesus took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

14 This was the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus said to Simon: Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him: Yes, Lord. You know that I love you. He said to him: Feed my lambs.

16 He said to him, a second time: Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him: Yes, Lord. You know that I love you. He said to him: Tend my sheep.

17 He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he asked him a third time: Do you love me? And he said to him: Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep.

18 Truly, truly, I say to you: When you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you shall be old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall gird you, and carry you where you do not wish to go.

19 Now this he spoke, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said to him: Follow me.

20 Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following- he who had leaned back on his breast at the supper and asked: Lord, who is he that betrays you?

21 Peter therefore seeing him, said to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 Jesus said to him: If I will that he remains till I come, what is that to you? You follow me.

23 This saying therefore went forth among the brothers, that that disciple should not die. Yet Jesus did not say to himthat he should not die, but: If I will that he remains till I come, what is that to you?

24 This is the disciple that testifies of these things and wrote these things; and we know that his witness is true.

25 And there are many other things which Jesus did, which if each one of them should be written down, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written.
