1 Scroll 26 Gospel of John.
[The Light in the World].
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not one thing that has been made.

4 In Him was life; and the life was the Light of men.

5 And the Light shines in darkness; and the darkness overtake it not.

6
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, that he might testify about the Light,
that all might believe through him.

8 He was not that Light, but that he might testify about the Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lights every man, coming into the World.

10 He was in the World, and the World was made by Him, and the World knew Him not.

11 He came to His own, and His own received Him not.

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the Children of GOD,
even to them that believing in His Name:

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

14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us,
(and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.

15 [The testimony of John the Baptist].
John testified concerning Him, and has cried, saying,
This was He of whom I spoke, He who coming after me, has become before me; for He was before me.

16 And of His fullness have we all received, and grace for grace.

17 For the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who being in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

19
And this is the testimony of John,
when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, that they might ask him,
Who are Thou?

20 And he confessed, and denied not; and confessed,
I am not the Christ[Messiah].

21 And they asked him,
What then? Are Thou Elijah?
And he says, I am not.
Are Thou the Prophet? Deu 18:15
And he answered, No.

22 Then said they to him,
Who are Thou? That we may give an answer to them who sent us.
What say Thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am a voice crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the LORD,
as said Isaiah the prophet. Isa 40:3

24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said to him,
Why baptize Thou then, if Thou are not the Christ[Messiah], nor Elijah, neither the Prophet?

26 John answered them, saying,
I baptize in water: but there has stood one among you, whom ye know not;

27 He it is, who coming after me, has become before me,
whom I am not worthy to unloose the thong of His shoes.

28 These things were done in Bethabara[Beth-barah] beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Jdg 7:24

29 [Lamb of God].
The next morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and says,
Behold the Lamb of God, who taking away the sin of the World.

30 This is He of whom I said, after me comes a man who has become before me; for He was before me.

31 And I had not known Him: but that He might be made manifest to Israel,
therefore I came baptizing in water.

32 And John testified, saying,
I have seen the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and abode upon Him.

33 And I had not known Him: but He who having sent me to baptize in water,
the same said to me, Upon whom Thou should see the Spirit descending and remaining on Him,
the same is He who baptizing in the Holy Spirit.

34 And I have seen and have borne testimony, that this is the Son of God.

35 Again the next morrow after, John had stood, and two of his disciples;

36 and looking upon Jesus as He walking, he says,
Behold the Lamb of God!

37 [The first disciples].
And the two disciples heard Him speaking, and they followed Jesus.

38 Then Jesus having turned, and saw them following,
and says to them, What seek ye?
And they said to Him, Rabbi (which is to say, being translated, Master) where abide Thou?

39 He says to them, Come and see!
They came and saw where He abides, and abode with Him that day:
for it was about the tenth hour[Roman time].

40 Andrew (the brother of Simon Peter):
was one of the two who heard from John, and was following Him.

41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to Him,
We have found the Messiah; which is being translated, the Christ.

42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus having looked to him, He said,
Thou are Simon the son of Jonah: Thou shall be called Cephas[Peter];
which is, translated, a stone.

43
The next morrow Jesus would go forth into Galilee,
and finds Philip, and says to him, Follow Me.

44 Now Philip was of Beth-saida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him,
We have found Him described by Moses in the Law, and by the Prophets,
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46 And Nathanael said to him,
Can there be any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip says to him, Come and see!

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says of him,
Behold truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile!

48 Nathanael says to Him,
Whence know Thou me?
Jesus answered and said to him,
Before Philip called Thee, when Thou being under the fig-tree, I saw Thee.

49 Nathanael answered and says to Him,
Rabbi, Thou are the Son of God; Thou are the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said to him,
Because I said to Thee, I saw Thee under the fig-tree, do Thou believe?
Thou shall see greater things than these.

51 And says to him,
Amen, Amen I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see Heaven open, and the Angels of GOD ascending and descending upon the Son of Man!

1 [Miracle in Cana].
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
and the mother of Jesus was there.

2 And Jesus also was called, and His disciples, to the marriage.

3 And they having wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus says to her,
Woman, what have I to do with Thee? My hour is not yet come.

5 His mother says to the servants,
Whatever He may say to you, do it.

6 And there were set there six water pots of stone,
after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, each containing two or three measures.

7 Jesus says to them,
Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them to above.

8 And He says to them,
Draw out now, and bear to the governor of the feast. And they bore it.

9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water that have become wine,
and had not known whence it is; (but the servants who drew the water had known) the governor of the feast calls the Bridegroom,

10 and says to him,
Every man first presents good wine; and when they may be drunken,
then that which is worse: but Thou have kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

12 [First cleansing of the Temple].
After this He went down to Capernaum,
He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' Passover was near, and Jesus go up to Jerusalem,

14 and found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the changers of money, sitting:

15 and He having made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the Temple,
and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the coins of the money-changers, and overthrew the tables;

16 and said to them that selling doves,
Take these things hence: make not My Father's house a house of merchandise.

17 And His disciples remembered that it is written,
The zeal of Thy house devoured Me. Psa 69:9

18 Then answered the Jews, and said to Him,
What sign show Thou to us, seeing that Thou do these things?

19 Jesus answered and said to them,
Ye destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise Him up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty six years was this Temple in building, and will Thou raise Him up in three days?

21 But He spoke of the Temple of His body.

22 When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this to them:
and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus said.

23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the Festival, many believed in His Name,
when they seeing the miracles which He performed.

24 But Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all.

25 And needed not that any should testify concerning man: for He knew what was in man.

3

1 [Question about born again].
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
(a ruler of the Jews).

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to Him,
Rabbi, we have known that Thou have become teacher come from God:
for no one can do these miracles that Thou do, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said to him,
Amen, Amen I say to Thee, Except if any be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God!

4 Nicodemus says to Him,
How can a man be born when he being old?
Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered,
Amen, Amen I say to Thee, Except if any be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God!

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

7 Thou should not marvel that I said to Thee,
Ye must be born again.

8 The spirit[wind] blows where it will, and Thou hear the sound of it,
but Thou have not known whence it comes, and where it goes:
so is every one that has been born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him,
How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said to him,
Are Thou the teacher of Israel, and know not these things?

11 Amen, Amen I say to Thee, We speak what we have known, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony!

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you Heavenly things?

13
And no one has ascended to Heaven,
except He who having descended from Heaven,
even the Son of Man who being in Heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up:

15 that whoever believing in Him should not perish, but may have everlasting life.

16 For God so loved the World, that He gave His only-begotten Son,
that whoever believing in Him should not perish, but may have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not His Son into the World to condemn the World,
but that the World through Him may be saved.

18 He who believing in Him, is not condemned:
but he who believing not, has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the Name of the only-begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that Light has come into the World,
and men have loved darkness rather than Light, for their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doing evil hates the Light, neither comes to the Light,
lest may his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he who doing the truth, comes to the Light,
that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.

22 [The voice of the Bridegroom]. Rev 18:23
After these came Jesus and His disciples into the land of Judea;
and there He tarried with them, and baptized.

23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim,
because there was much waters there: and they came, and were being baptized.

24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

25 Then there arose a question from the disciples of John with some Jews, about purifying.

26 And they came to John, and said to him,
Rabbi, He who was with Thee beyond the Jordan, to whom Thou have borne testimony,
behold, the same baptizes, and all come to Him.

27 John answered and said,
A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from Heaven.

28 Ye yourselves bear me testimony,
that I said, I am not the Christ[Messiah], but that I am sent before Him.

29 He who having the bride, is the Bridegroom:
but the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him,
rejoices with joy, because the voice of the Bridegroom:
this My joy therefore has been fulfilled.

30 He must grow, but I must to be lowered.

31 He who coming from above is above all.
He who being of the Earth is earthly, and speaks of the Earth.
He who coming from Heaven is above all.

32 And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

33 He who having received His testimony, has set to His seal that God is true.

34 For He whom God has sent, speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure.

35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hand.

36 He who believing in the Son, has everlasting life:
and he who believing not[disobeying] the Son, shall not see life;
but the wrath of God stays on him.

1
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John,

2 (although Jesus Himself baptized not, but His disciples).

3 [Samaritan woman at the well].
He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

4 And it was needful for Him to go through Samaria.

5 Then He comes to a city of Samaria, being called Sychar,
near to the parcel of ground, that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Now there was the well of Jacob;
Jesus therefore being wearied with the journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour[noon].

7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus says to her,
Give Me to drink;

8 (for His disciples had gone to the city that they might buy provisions).

9 Then says the woman of Samaria to Him,
How is it that Thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who being a woman of Samaria?
For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said to her,
If Thou had known the gift of GOD, and who it is saying to Thee, Give Me to drink;
Thou would have asked Him, and He would have given Thee Living Water.

11 The woman says to Him,
Lord, Thou have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then have Thou the Living Water?

12 Are Thou greater than our father Jacob,
who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said to her,
Whoever drinking of this water, shall thirst again:

14 but whoever may drink of the Water that I shall give him, should have never thirst; but the water that I shall give him,
shall be in him a Fountain of Water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman says to Him,
Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither may come here to draw.

16 Jesus says to her,
Go, call Thy husband, and come here.

17 The woman answered and said,
I have no husband.
Jesus says to her, Thou have well said, I have no husband:

18 for Thou have had five husbands, and he whom Thou now have, is not Thy husband: in that Thou have true spoken.

19 The woman says to Him,
Lord, I perceive that Thou are a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain[Gerizim]; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus says to her,
Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, shall worship the Father.

22 Ye worship what ye have not known: we have known what we worship, for Salvation is from the Jews.

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

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

25 The woman says to Him,
I have known that Messiah comes, who being called Christ; when He comes, He will tell us all things.

26 Jesus says to her,
I AM is that speak to Thee.

27 And upon this came His disciples, and marvelled that He spoke with a woman: however, no one said,
What seek Thou? Or, Why talk Thou with her?

28 The woman then left her water pot, and went into the city, and says to the men,

29 Come, see a man who has told me all things that ever I did. Is this not the Christ[Messiah]?

30 Then they went out of the city, and came to Him.

31 In the meantime the disciples prayed Him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

32 But He said to them, I have food to eat that ye have not known.

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has anyone brought Him aught to eat?

34 Jesus says to them,
My food is that may do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

35 Say not ye, It is yet four months, and then comes harvest?
Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields;
for they are white already to harvest!

36 And he who reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit to everlasting life:
that both he who sowing, and he who reaping, may rejoice together.

37 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.

38 I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured:
others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him for the saying of the woman,
who testifying, He told me all that ever I did.

40 Then when the Samaritans came to Him, they besought Him that He would tarry with them:
and He abode there two days.

41 And many more believed, because of His word;

42 and said to the woman,
Now we believe, not because of Thy saying: for we have heard ourselves,
and we have known that this is truly the Christ[Messiah], the Saviour of the World.

43
And after two days He departed thence, and went into Galilee.

44 For Jesus Himself testified that a Prophet has no honour in His own country.

45 [Healing from nobleman's son].
Then when He came into Galilee,
the Galileans received Him,
having seen all the things that He did at Jerusalem at the Festival:
for they also went to the Festival.

46 Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, (where He made the water wine).
And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 He, having heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee;
he went to Him, and besought Him:
that He would come down, and heal his son: for he was about to die.

48 Then said Jesus to him,
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

49 The nobleman says to Him,
Lord, come down before my child dies.

50 Jesus says to Him,
Go; Thy son lives.
And the man believed the word that Jesus said to Him, and he departed.

51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him,
saying, Thy son lives.

52 Then he inquired from them the hour in which he became better: and they said to him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour[Roman time] the fever left him.

53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him,
Thy son lives: and he himself believed, and his whole house.

54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, having come from Judea into Galilee.

5

1 [Healing by the Sheep Gate].
After these there was a Festival of the Jews: and Jesus go up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which being called in Hebrew, Beth-esda,
having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of the weak, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an Angel went down at a certain season in the pool, and troubled the water:
whoever then first after the troubling having entered into the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, who having an infirmity thirty eight years.

6 When Jesus seeing him lying, and He having known that he is already a long time, He says to him,
Will Thou be healed?

7 The weak man answered Him,
Lord, I have no man, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool:
but while I am coming, another steps down before me.

8 Jesus says to him,
Rise, take up Thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the Sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said to Him that was healed, it is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for Thee to carry the bed.

11 He answered them,
He who having made him whole, the same said to me, Take up Thy bed, and walk.

12 Then they asked him,
What man is that who having said to Thee, Take up Thy bed, and walk?

13 And he who having been healed had not known who it is: for Jesus had conveyed Himself away, a multitude being in the place.

14 After these Jesus finds him in the Temple, and said to him,
Behold, Thou have become cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to Thee.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who having made him whole.

16 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay Him,
because He did these things on the Sabbath.

17 [Father and Son].
But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only breaking the Sabbath,
but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

19
Then answered Jesus, said to them,
Amen, Amen I say to you, The Son can do nothing by Himself,
but what He may see the Father doing: for whatever things He may do, these also does the Son likewise!

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

21 For as the Father raises the dead, and vivifies them; even so the Son vivifies whom He will.

22 For the Father judges no one; but has given all judgment to the Son:

23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.
He who honouring not the Son, honours not the Father who having sent Him.

24 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who hearing My word, and believing in Him who sent Me,
has everlasting life, and comes not into condemnation; but has passed from death to life!

25 Amen, Amen 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 having heard shall live!

26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in Himself;

27 and gave to Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour comes, in which all that are in the graves 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 judgment.

30
I can of My own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just;
because I seek not My own will, but the will of the Father who has sent Me.

31 If I may testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not valid. Deu 19:15

32 There is another that testifies concerning Me,
and I have known that the testimony which He bears concerning Me is true.

33 Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

35 He was the burning and shining Lamp: and ye were willing for an hour to rejoice in His Light.

36 But I have greater testimony than that of John:
for the works which the Father gave Me,
that I finish them, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning Me, that the Father has sent Me.

37 And the Father Himself who having sent Me, has borne testimony concerning Me.
Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have seen His shape.

38 And ye have not His word abiding in you: for whom He has sent, Him ye believe not.

39 Ye search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye to have everlasting life: and they are they which testify of Me.

40 And ye will not to come to Me, that ye may have life.

41 I receive not glory from men.

42 But I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I have come in My Father's Name, and ye receive Me not:
if another should come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, receiving glory one from another,
and ye seek not the glory that comes from the only God?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father:
there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom ye have trusted.

46 For if ye were believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote concerning Me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?

6

1 [Miracle of the loaves].
After these Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He performed upon the weak.

3 And Jesus went upon the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

4 And the Passover was near, the Festival of the Jews.

5 When Jesus then lifted up His eyes, and saw a great multitude come to Him, He says to Philip,
Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?

6 And this He said to trying him: for He Himself had known what He was about to do.

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

8 one of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to Him,

9 there is a lad here, who has five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 Then Jesus said,
Make the men sit down.
(Now there was much grass in the place). Then the men sat down in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves; and He having given thanks, He distributed to the disciples,
and the disciples to them that reclining;
and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

12 When they were satisfied, He says to His disciples,
Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.

13 Therefore they gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves,
which remained over and above to them that having eaten.

14 Then those men, when they having seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said,
This is truly that Prophet who coming into the World.

15 Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by force,
that they may make Him a King, He departed again to the mountain Himself alone.

16 [Walking on water].
But when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

17 and entered into the ship, and went over the sea towards Capernaum.
And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

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

19 Then they having rowed about twenty five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea,
and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid.

20 But He says to them, it is I AM; be not afraid.

21 Then they willingly received Him into the ship:
and immediately the ship was at the land where they were going.

22 The next morrow, when the multitude who stood on the other side of the sea:
having seen that there was no other boat there, except that one into which His disciples entered,
and that Jesus went not with His disciples into the boat,
but that His disciples went away alone.

23 [Bread from Heaven].
(Yet there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord having given thanks).

24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus is not there, neither His disciples, they also entered ships, and came to Capernaum,
seeking for Jesus.

25 And they having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him,
Rabbi, when have Thou come here?

26 Jesus answered them and said,
Amen, Amen I say to you, Ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were satisfied!

27
Labour not for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures to everlasting life,
which the Son of Man will give to you: for God the Father sealed Him.

28 Then said they to Him, What may we do, that we may work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said to them,
This is the work of God, that ye should believe in Him whom He has sent.

30 They said therefore to Him,
What sign show Thou then, that we may see, and believe Thee? What do Thou work?

31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written,
He gave them Bread from Heaven to eat. Psa 78:24

32 Then Jesus said to them,
Amen, Amen I say to you, Moses has given you not that Bread from Heaven;
but My Father gives you the true Bread from Heaven!

33 For the Bread of God is He who coming down from Heaven, and gives life to the World.

34 Then said they to Him,
Lord, always give us this bread.

35 But Jesus said to them,
I AM the Bread of Life:
he who coming to Me, may never hunger;
and he who believing in Me, may never thirst.

36 But I said to you,
That ye also have seen Me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father gives Me, shall come to Me; and him who coming to Me, I may not cast out.

38 For I have come down from Heaven, not that I may do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

39 And this is the Father's will who has sent Me, that of all which He has given Me,
I should lose nothing of it, but will raise it up again at the Last Day.

40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me,
that every one who seeing the Son, and believing in Him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

41 The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said,
I AM the Bread that having descended from Heaven.

42 And they said,
Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known?
How is it then that He says, I have come down from Heaven?

43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them,
Murmur not with one another.

44 No one can to come to Me, except the Father who having sent Me may draw him: and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

45 It is having been written in the Prophets,
And they shall be all taught from GOD. Every man therefore that having heard, and having learned from the Father, comes to Me. Isa 54:13

46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who being from God, He has seen the Father.

47 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who believing in Me has everlasting life!

48 I AM the Bread of Life.

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

50 This is the Bread that having descended from Heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.

51 I AM the Living Bread that having descended from Heaven:
if anyone may eat of this Bread, he shall live forever:
and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the World.

52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?

53 Then Jesus said to them,
Amen, Amen I say to you, Except ye may eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may drink His blood, ye have no life in you!

54 He who eating My flesh, and drinking My blood, has everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

55 For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink.

56 He who eating My flesh, and drinking My blood, abides in Me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father has sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he who eating Me, even he shall live by Me.

58 This is that Bread that having descended from Heaven:
not as your fathers ate manna, and died:
He who eating of this Bread shall live forever.

59 These things He said in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum.

60
Then many of His disciples, having heard, said,
This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

61 But Jesus knowing in Himself that His disciples murmur at it, He said to them,
Does this offend you?

62 If therefore ye should see the Son of Man ascending up where He was before?

63 It is the Spirit who vivifying; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64 But there are some of you that believe not.
For Jesus had known from the beginning who they are that believing not,
and who he is that shall betraying Him.

65 And He said, Therefore I have said to you, that no one can to come to Me, except it have been given to him by My Father.

66 From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.

67 Then said Jesus to the Twelve, Will ye also go away?

68 Then Simon Peter answered Him,
Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou have the words of everlasting life.

69 And we have believed, and have known that Thou are the Christ[Messiah], the Son of the Living God.

70 Jesus answered them,
Have not I chosen you; the Twelve, and one of you is a devil?

71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot (the son of Simon): for it was he who was to betray Him, being one of the Twelve.

1 [The Festival of Tabernacles].
And Jesus walked after these in Galilee:
for He would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

2 Now the Jews' Festival of Tabernacles was near.

3 His brethren therefore said to Him,
Depart hence, and go into Judea,
that Thy disciples also may see the works that Thou do.

4 For there is no one that does anything in secret,
and he himself seeks to be known openly.
If Thou do these things, show Thyself to the World;

5 (for neither did His brethren believe in Him).

6 Then Jesus says to them,
My time is not yet present: but your time is always ready.

7 The World cannot hate you; but Me it hates, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.

8 Go ye up to this Festival: I go not yet up to this Festival, for My time has been not yet fulfilled.

9
And He having said these things to them, He abode still in Galilee.

10 But when His brethren were gone up, then He went also to the Festival,
not openly, but as it were in secret.

11 Then the Jews sought Him at the Festival,
and said, Where is He?

12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning Him:
for some said, He is a good man:
others said, No; but He deceives the multitude.

13 However, no one spoke openly of Him, for fear of the Jews.

14 Now about the middle of the Festival, Jesus went up into the Temple, and taught.

15 And the Jews marvelled, saying,
How has this Man known letters, having never learned?

16 Jesus answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

17 If anyone may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine,
whether it is from God, or whether I speak from Myself.

18 He who speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he who seeking his glory who sent Him,
the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 Did not Moses has given you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why seek ye to kill Me?

20 The multitude answered and said,
Thou have a demon: who seeks to kill Thee?

21 Jesus answered and said to them,
I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

22 Moses therefore has given you circumcision,
(not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers) and on the Sabbath ye circumcise a man.

23 If a man on the Sabbath receives circumcision, that the Law of Moses may not be broken;
are ye angry at Me, because I made a man all whole on the Sabbath?

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

25
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this He whom they seek to kill?

26 But behold, He speaks openly, and they say nothing to Him.
Did the rulers knew truly that this is truly the Christ[Messiah]?

27 But we have known this Man, whence He is:
whereas when the Christ[Messiah] may come, no one knows whence He is.

28 Then cried Jesus in the Temple, as He taught, saying,
Ye have known Me both, and ye have known whence I AM: and I have come not of Myself,
but He who having sent Me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I have known Him; for I AM from Him, and He has sent Me.

30 Then they sought to take Him: but no one laid the hand on Him,
because His hour had not yet come.

31
And many of the multitude believed in Him, and said,
When the Christ[Messiah] comes, will He do more miracles than these which this Man has done?

32 The Pharisees heard that the multitude murmured such things concerning Him:
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take Him.

33 Then said Jesus to them,
Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me;

34 ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I AM, ye cannot to come.

35 Then said the Jews among themselves, where should He go, that we shall not find Him?
Should He go to the dispersion among the Greeks[Gentiles], and teach the Greeks[Gentiles]?

36 What manner of saying is this that He said,
ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I AM, ye cannot to come?

37
In the Last Day, that great Day of the Festival, Jesus had stood and cried, saying,
If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him drink.

38 He who believing in Me, as the Scripture has said,
out of His belly shall flow rivers of Living Water;

39 (but this He spoke of the Spirit, which they that believing in Him should receive,
for the Holy Spirit was not yet there, because that Jesus was not yet glorified).

40
Many of the multitude therefore, when they having heard this saying, said, This is truly the Prophet.

41 Others said, This is the Christ[Messiah]. But some said, Will the Christ[Messiah] come out of Galilee?

42 Has not the Scripture said,
That the Christ[Messiah] comes from the seed of David, 2Sa 7:12-13 1Ch 17:11-14 Jer 23:5-6
and out of the town of Beth-lehem, where David was? Mic 5:2

43 Then there was a division among the multitude because of Him.

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

45
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them,
Why have ye not brought Him?

46 The officers answered,
Never man spoke like this man.

47 Then the Pharisees answered them,
Are ye also deceived?

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

49 But this multitude who know not the Law are cursed.

50 Nicodemus says to them, (he who having come to Him by night, being one of them).

51 Our Law judges not the man, except it first may hear from him, and know what he does?

52 They answered and said to him,
Are Thou also from Galilee? Search, and see: for out of Galilee has been raised no prophet.

53 [woman taken in adultery].
And every man went to his own house.

8

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives:

2 and early in the morning He came again into the Temple,
and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.

3
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery:
and they having set her in the middle,

4 they say to Him,
Master, this woman was taken in the very act, committing adultery.

5 Now Moses in the Law commanded us, that such should be stoned; then what say Thou? Deu 22:22

6 This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him.
But Jesus stooped down, and wrote with the finger on the ground,

7 so when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself, and said to them,
He who is sinless among you, let him first cast a stone at her. Deu 17:7

8 And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they having heard, and being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,
beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone,
and the woman standing in the middle.

10 When Jesus raised Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said to her,
Woman, where are those Thy accusers? Has no one condemned Thee?

11 She said, no one, Lord. And Jesus said to her,
Neither do I condemn Thee: go, and sin no more.

12 [Light of Life].
Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying,
I AM the Light of the World:
He who following Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him,
Thou testify concerning Thyself; Thy testimony is not valid. Deu 19:15

14 Jesus answered and said to them,
Though I may testify concerning Myself, yet My testimony is true:
for I have known whence I came, and where I go;
but ye have not known whence I come, and where I go.

15 Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no one.

16 And yet if I judge, My judgment is true:
for I AM not alone, but I and the Father who having sent Me.

17 And also it has been written in your Law, that the testimony of two men is valid. Deu 19:15

18 I AM that testifies concerning Myself;
and the Father who having sent Me, testifies concerning Me.

19 Then said they to Him, Where is Thy Father?
Jesus answered, ye have not known Me, nor My Father:
if ye had known Me, ye would had known also My Father.

20 These words Jesus spoke by the treasury, as He taught in the Temple:
and no one took Him, for His hour had not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again to them,
I going away, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sin:
where I go, ye cannot to come.

22 Then said the Jews,
will He kill Himself? Because He says,
where I go, ye cannot to come.

23 And He said to them,
Ye are from beneath; I AM from above: ye are of this World; I AM not of this World.

24 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins:
for if ye may believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they to Him,
Who are Thou? And Jesus said to them,
What I also said from the beginning to you.

26 I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but He who having sent Me, is true:
and I speak to the World those things which I also have heard from Him.

27 They understood not that He spoke to them concerning the Father.

28 Then said Jesus to them,
When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I AM, and that I do nothing of Myself;
but as My Father has taught Me, I speak these things.

29 And He who having sent Me is with Me: the Father has not left Me alone;
for I do always those things that please Him.

30 [Children of GOD and Abraham].
As He spoke these things, many believed in Him.

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed in Him,
If ye continue in My word, ye are truly My disciples;

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

33 They answered Him,
We are Abraham's offspring, and no, we have never been in bondage:
how say Thou, Ye shall be made free?

34 Jesus answered them,
Amen, Amen I say to you, That whoever doing the sin, is the slave of sin!

35 And the servant stays not in the house forever, but the Son stays forever.

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

37 I have known that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill Me,
because My word has no place in you.

38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father:
and ye therefore do what ye have seen with your father.

39 They answered and said to Him,
Abraham is our father.
Jesus says to them,
If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that has told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

41 Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have One Father, God.

42
Jesus said to them,
If God were your Father, ye would love Me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God;
neither I have come of Myself, but He sent Me.

43 Why do ye not understand My speech?
Even because ye cannot hear My word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father,
ye will to do; he was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he may speak a lie,
he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and of it the father.

45 But because I tell the truth, ye not believe Me.

46 Which of you convicts Me of sin?
But if I tell the truth, why do ye not believe Me?

47 He who being of God, hears God's words:
ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48
Then answered the Jews, and said to Him,
Say we not well that Thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

49 Jesus answered,
I have not a demon; but I honour My Father, and ye dishonour Me.

50 But I seek not My own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.

51 Amen, Amen I say to you, If a man may keep My saying, he may never see death!

52 Then said the Jews to Him,
Now we have known that Thou have a demon.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou say,
If a man may keep My saying, He shall never taste death.

53 Are Thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?
And the prophets died: whom make Thou Thyself?

54 Jesus answered,
If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing:
it is My Father that glorifying Me,
of whom ye say, that He is your God:

55 yet ye have not known Him; but I have known Him:
and if I should say,
I have not known Him, I will be a liar like you:
but I have known Him, and keep His word.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and He saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews to Him, Thou are not yet fifty years old, and have Thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said to them,
Amen, Amen I say to you, Before Abraham was, I AM!

59 Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the Temple,
going through the middle of them, and so passed by.

1 [Healing of the blind son].
And as He passing by, He saw a man who was blind from his birth.

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

3 Jesus answered,
Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents:
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me,
while it is day: the night comes when no one can work.

5 When I may be in the World,
I AM the Light of the World.

6 He having said these,
He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle,
and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is translated, Sent).
He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, and they who seeing him before that he was blind,
said, Is not this he who was sitting and begging?

9 Some said, This is he: others said, he is like him: but he said that, I am him!

10 Therefore they said to him, How were Thy eyes opened?

11 He answered and said,
A man being called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes,
and said to Me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash:
and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then said they to him, Where is He? He says, I have not known.

13
They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.

14 And it was the Sabbath when Jesus made the clay,
and opened his eyes.

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight.
But He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees,
This Man is not from God, because He keeps not the Sabbath. Others said,
How can a Man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

17 They say to the blind man again, What say Thou of Him, that He has opened Thy eyes?
But he said, He is a Prophet.

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind,
and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that having received his sight.

19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind?
How then now does he see?

20 His parents answered them and said,
We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

21 but how he now sees, we have not known;
or who has opened his eyes, we have not known:
he is of age; ask him:
he will speak for himself.

22 These said his parents, because they feared the Jews:
for the Jews had agreed already, that if anyone confessed that He was the Christ[Messiah],
he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents,
he is of age; ask him.

24 They called, therefore, a second time the man that was blind,
and said to him, Give God the glory: we have known that this Man is a sinner.

25 Then he answered and said,
If He is a sinner, I have not known:
one thing I have known, that whereas I being blind, now I see.

26 Then they said to him again, What did He to Thee? How opened He Thy eyes?

27 He answered them,
I have told you already, and ye did not hear:
Why would ye hear it again? Will ye also be His disciples?

28 Then they reviled him, and said,
Thou are His disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.

29 We have known that God has spoken to Moses:
but Him, we have not known whence He is.

30 The man answered and said to them,
For herein is a marvellous thing, that ye have not known whence He is,
and yet He has opened my eyes.

31 Now we have known that God hears not sinners:
but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and may do His will, him He hears.

32 Since the Age[World] began was it never heard that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

33 Except this Man were from God, he could do nothing.

34 They answered and said to him,
Thou were altogether born in sins, and do Thou teach us?
And they cast him out.

35
Jesus heard that they cast him out:
and He having found him, He said to him,
Do Thou believe in the Son of God?

36 He answered and said,
Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?

37 But Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen Him,
and it is He who talking with Thee.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped Him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I come into this World,
that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be made blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees who being with Him heard these things,
and said to Him, Are we also blind?

41 Jesus said to them, if ye were blind, ye would have no sin:
but now ye say, we see; therefore your sin remains.

10

1 [Parable of the Good Shepherd].
Amen, Amen I say to you, He who entering not by the Door into the sheep-fold,
but climbs up elsewhere, the same is a thief and a robber!

2 But He who entering by the Door, is the Shepherd of the sheep.

3 To Him the porter opens; and the sheep hear His voice:
and He calls His own sheep by name, and leads them out.

4 And when He will send forth His own sheep, He goes before them,
and the sheep follow Him: for they have known His voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:
for they have not known the voice of strangers.

6 This proverb spoke Jesus to them:
but they understood not what things they were which He spoke to them.

7
Then said Jesus to them again,
Amen, Amen I say to you,
I AM the Door of the sheep!

8 All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9
I AM the Door: by Me if anyone may enter he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief comes not, except so that he may steal and may kill and may destroy:
I come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

11
I AM the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

12 But the hireling, (and not being a shepherd), whose own not the sheep,
sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep,
and flees, and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.

13 The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.

14
I AM the good Shepherd, and know My sheep,
and AM known by Mine.

15 As the Father knows Me, I also know the Father:
and I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice;
and there shall be one flock, and One Shepherd.

17 Therefore My Father loves Me,
because I lay down My life, that I may take it again.

18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself.
I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again.
This Commandment received I from My Father.

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20 And many of them said,
He has a demon, and is insane; why hear ye Him?

21 Others said,
These are not the words of Him possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

22 [Ye are GODS: children of the Holy Father].
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication[Hanukkah], and it was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the Temple in Solomon's porch.

24 Then came the Jews around Him, and said to Him,
Until when until Thou lifted up our soul[explain]? If Thou are the Christ[Messiah], tell us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them,
I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I did in My Father's Name,
they testify concerning Me.

26 But ye believe not, for ye are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

27 My sheep hear My voice, I also know them, and they follow Me:

28 and I give to them everlasting life; and they might never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of My hand.

29 My Father, who has given to Me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.

30 I and the Father are One.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again, that they might stone Him.

32 Jesus answered them,
Many good works have I shown you from My Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me?

33 The Jews answered Him, saying,
For a good work we stone Thee not; but for blasphemy,
and because that Thou, being a man, make Thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law,
I said, Ye are GODS? Psa 82:6

35 If He called them GODS, to whom the Word of GOD came,
and the Scripture cannot be broken;

36 say ye of Him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the World,
Thou blasphemes; because I said,
I AM the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of My Father, believe not Me.

38 But if I do, though ye may believe not Me, believe the works:
that ye may know and may believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.

39 Therefore they sought again to take Him; but He escaped from their hand,

40 and went again beyond the Jordan,
into the place where John was at first baptized; and there He abode.

41 And many resorted to Him, and said, John performed no miracle;
but all things that John spoke of this man were true.

42 And many believed in Him there.

11

1 [Lazarus was sick].
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus,
from Beth-any, of the town of Mary and her sister Martha;

2 (it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick). Joh 12:3

3 Therefore his sisters sent to Him, saying,
Lord, behold, He whom Thou love is sick.

4 When Jesus having heard, He said,
This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6 When therefore He heard that he was sick,
then indeed He remained in the place where He was two days.

7 Then after that He says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again.

8 The disciples say to Him,
Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone Thee; and goes Thou there again?

9 Jesus answered,
Are there not twelve hours in the day?
If anyone walks in the day, he stumbles not,
because he sees the Light of this World.

10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.

11 These things He said.
And after that He says to them,
Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

12 Then said His disciples,
Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will be whole.

13 But Jesus had spoken of His death: but they thought that He speaks of the repose of sleep.

14 Then therefore said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus has died.

15 And I rejoice for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; but let us go to him.

16 Then said Thomas, who being called Didymus[Twin], to His fellow-disciples,
Let us also go, that we may die with Him.

17 [The resurrection of Lazarus].
Then Jesus, having come, found him having four days already in the tomb;

18 (now Beth-any was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia distant).

19 And many of the Jews had come around Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother.

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus comes, went and met Him: but Mary sat in the house.

21 Then said Martha to Jesus,
Lord, if Thou were here, my brother had not died.

22 But I have known that even now, whatever Thou may ask of God, GOD will give it Thee.

23 Jesus says to her,
Thy brother shall rise again.

24 Martha says to Him,
I have known that he will rise again in the resurrection at the Last Day.

25 Jesus said to her,
I AM the Resurrection, and the Life: he who believing in Me, even if he dies, yet shall he live:

26 and whoever living, and believing in Me, shall never die.
Believe Thou this?

27 She says to Him,
Yes, Lord, I have believed that Thou are the Christ[Messiah], the Son of God, who coming into the World.

28 And she having said these, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying,
The Master is present, and calls for Thee.

29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and comes to Him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him.

31 The Jews then who being with her in the house, and comforted her,
they having seen Mary that she rose quickly, and went out, followed her,
saying, She goes to the grave that she may weep there.

32 Then when Mary came where Jesus was, and she having seen Him,
she fell down at His feet, saying to Him,
Lord, if Thou were here, my brother had not died.

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews also weeping who came with her,
He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled Himself;

34 and said, Where have ye laid him?
They say to Him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how He loved him!

37 And some of them said,
Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in Himself, comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39 Jesus says, Take ye away the stone.
Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says to Him,
Lord, his body already stinks: for it is the fourth day.

40 Jesus says to her,
Said I not to Thee, that if Thou may believe, Thou shall see the glory of God?

41 Then they took away the stone, where the dead was laid.
But Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said,
Father, I thank Thee that Thou have heard Me:

42 but I had known that Thou hear Me always: but because of the multitude who standing by,
I said it, that they may believe that Thou have sent Me.

43 And He having said these, He cried with a great voice,
Lazarus, come forth!

44 And he who having died came forth, bound the feet and the hands with grave-clothes:
and his face had been bound about with a handkerchief.
Jesus says to them,
Loose him, and let him go.

45 [Caiaphas want to kill the Messiah for the Romans].
Then many of the Jews who having come to Mary, and they having seen the things which Jesus did, believed in Him.

46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus did.

47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said,
What do we? For this man performs many miracles.

48 If we let Him thus alone, all will believe in Him:
and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.

49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the High Priest that same year,
said to them, ye have known nothing at all,

50 nor consider that it is expedient for us, that One Man should die for the people, and that not the whole nation should perish.

51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being High Priest that year,
He prophesied that Jesus was about to die for that nation;

52 and not for that nation only, but that also He might assemble in one the Children of GOD that were scattered abroad.

53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together that they might put Him to death.

54
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews;
but went thence to a country near to the wilderness,
into a city being called Ephraim, and there continued with His disciples.

55 And the Jews' Passover was near: and many of the country go up to Jerusalem,
that they might purify themselves before the Passover.

56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke with one another, as they standing in the Temple,
What do you think, that He will not come to the Festival?

57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment,
that, if anyone knew where He is, he should show it, that they might take Him.

12

1 [Ointment of Jesus].
Then Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Beth-any,
where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He raised from the dead.

2
There then they made Him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that reclining at table with Him.

3 Then Mary took a litra of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus,
and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4 Then says one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray Him,

5 why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what being put in it.

7 Then said Jesus,
Let her alone: for the day of My burial she has kept it.

8 For the poor ye have always with you; but Me ye have not always.

9
A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that He was there: and they came, not only for Jesus,
but that they might see also Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

11 because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed in Jesus.

12 [Triumphal entry into Jerusalem].
On the next morrow, a great multitude that having come to the Festival, when they having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,

13 took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried,
Hosanna Blessed is He who Coming in the Name of the LORD! Even the King of Israel. Psa 118:26

14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,

15 fear not, Daughter of Zion: behold, Thy King comes, sitting upon an ass's colt. Zec 9:9

16 [Glorified above the World].
These things His disciples understood not at first: but when Jesus was glorified,
then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him,
and that they did these things to Him.

17 The multitude therefore that being with Him when He called Lazarus out of his grave,
and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.

18 Therefore the multitude also met Him, for that they heard that He having done this miracle.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye that ye prevail nothing? Behold, the World is gone after Him.

20
And there were certain Greeks[Gentiles] out of those coming up that they might to worship at the Festival.

21 Then these came therefore to Philip, who was of Beth-saida of Galilee, and desired Him, saying,
Sir, we would see Jesus.

22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them, saying,
The hour has come, that the Son of Man should be glorified.

24 Amen, Amen I say to you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it stays alone: but if it may die, it brings forth much fruit!

25 He who loving his life shall lose it; and he who hating his life in this World, shall keep it to everlasting life.

26 If anyone serve Me, let him follow Me;
and where I AM, there shall also My servant be:
if anyone serve Me, him will My Father honour.

27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?
Father, save Me from this hour: but therefore I came to this hour.

28 Father, glorify Thy Name. Then came there a voice from Heaven, saying,
I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 [Light of the World].
The multitude therefore that having stood by, and having heard, said that it has been thundered.
Others said, An Angel has spoken to Him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice has come not because of Me, but for your sakes.

31 Now is the Judgment of this World: now the ruler of this World shall be cast out.

32 And I, if I may be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all to Me;

33 (this He said, signifying what death He was about to die).

34 The multitude answered Him,
We have heard out of the Law that the Christ[Messiah] stays forever: and how say Thou,
The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?

35 Then Jesus said to them,
Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness may overtake you:
for he who walking in darkness has not known where he goes.

36 While ye have Light, believe in the Light, that ye may be the Children of Light.
These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed Himself from them.

37
But though He having done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him:

38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
which He spoke, LORD, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? Isa 53:1

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,

40 he has blinded their eyes,
and has hardened their heart;
that they should not see with their eyes,
nor should understand with their heart,
and should converted, and I should heal them[variant]. Isa 6:9-10

41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.

42
Yet however, among the rulers also many believed in Him;
but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him,
lest they might be put out of the synagogue:

43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44 Jesus cried, and said,
he who believing in Me, believes not in Me, but in Him who having sent Me:

45 and he who seeing Me, sees Him who having sent Me:

46 I have come as a Light into the World,
that whoever believing in Me may not abide in darkness.

47 And if anyone hear My words, and believe not, I judge him not:
for I came not that I might judge the World, but I might save the World.

48 He who rejecting Me, and receiving not My words, has one that judging him:
the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the Last Day.

49 For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who having sent Me,
He gave Me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I have known that His Commandment is everlasting life:
whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak.

13

1 [Last Supper].
Now before the Festival of the Passover, when Jesus knowing that his hour has come that He should depart out of this World to the Father,
having loved His own who were in the World, He loved them to the end.

2 And while supper was preparing, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, (Simon's son, to betray Him).

3 Jesus knowing that the Father has given all things into His hands, and that He came from God, and goes to God;

4 He rises from supper, and laid aside His garments; and having taken a towel, and girded Himself.

5 After that, 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 Then He comes to Simon Peter: and Peter says to Him,
Lord, do Thou wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said to him,
What I do Thou have not known now; but Thou shall know after these.

8 Peter says to Him,
Thou may never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him,
If I may wash Thee not, Thou have no part with Me.

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

10 Jesus says to him,
he who having been bathed has no need but to wash the feet, but is wholly clean:
and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For He had known who would betray Him; therefore said He,
ye are not all clean.

12 When, therefore, He washed their feet, and took His garments, and was set down again,
He said to them,
Know ye what I have done to you?

13
Ye call Me Master, and Lord: and ye say well; for so I AM.

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

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

16 Amen, Amen I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is a delegate greater than he who sent him!

17 If ye have known these things, blessed are ye if ye should do them.

18 I speak not of you all; I have known whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
He who eating bread with Me, has lifted up his heel against Me. Psa 41:9

19 From henceforth I tell you before it comes, that when it has come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.

20 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who receiving whomsoever I send, receives Me;
and He who receiving Me, receives Him who having sent Me!

21
Jesus having said these, He was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said,
Amen, Amen I say to you, That one of you will betray Me!

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom He speaks.

23 Now there was reclining on the bosom of Jesus, one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 Simon Peter therefore beckons to Him, to ask who it might be of whom He speaks.

25 He then lying on the breast of Jesus, says to Him,
Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered,
he it is to whom I shall give a morsel, when I having dipped it.
And when he having dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, (the son of Simon).

27 And after the morsel Satan entered into him. Then says Jesus to him,
What Thou do, do quickly.

28 Now no one who reclining at table knew for what intent He spoke this to him.

29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus says to him,
Buy those things that we have need of against the Festival; or, that He should give something to the poor.

30 He then having received the morsel, went immediately out: and it was night.

31
Therefore when he was gone out, Jesus says,
Now the Son of Man was glorified, and God was glorified in Him.

32 If God was glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will immediately glorify Him.

33 Little children, yet a little while I be with you.
Ye shall seek Me: and as I said to the Jews,
where I go, ye cannot to come; so now I say to you!

34 A new Commandment I give to you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you.
Also that ye should love one another.

35 By this shall all know that ye are My disciples, if ye may have love one to another.

36 Simon Peter says to Him,
Lord, where goes Thou?
Jesus answered him,
Where I go, Thou cannot follow Me now; but Thou shall follow Me afterward.

37 Peter says to Him,
Lord, why cannot I follow Thee now? I will lay down My life for Thy sake.

38 Jesus answered him, Will Thou lay down Thy life for My sake?
Amen, Amen I say to Thee, No cock will crow, until Thou will deny Me thrice!

14

1 [I AM the Way].
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me.

2 In the House of My Father are many abodes: or else, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I should depart and prepare a place for you, I come again and will receive you to Myself;
that where I AM, there ye may be also.

4 And where I go ye have known, and the way ye have known.

5
Thomas says to Him,
Lord, we have not known where Thou go; and how can we to know the Way?

6 Jesus says to him,
I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: no one comes to the Father, except by Me.

7 If ye had known Me, ye would had known also My Father:
and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.

8 Philip says to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.

9 Jesus says to him,
Have I been so long time with you, and yet have Thou not known Me Philip?
He who having seen Me, has seen the Father; and how say Thou then, Show us the Father?

10 Believe Thou not 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 that abiding in Me,
He does the works.

11 Believe Me that I AM in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else for the very works' sake believe Me.

12 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who believing in Me, also the works that I do shall he do;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to My Father!

13 And whatever ye may ask in My Name, that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye may ask anything in My Name, I will do.

15 If ye love Me, keep My Commandments.

16 [The Comforter].
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter,
that may be abide with you forever;

17 the Spirit of Truth, whom cannot receive because it does not see It nor know It,
for It abides with you and shall be in you.

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

19 Yet a little while, and the World sees Me no more; but ye see Me:
because I live, ye shall also live.

20 At that day ye shall know that I AM in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.

21 He who having My Commandments, and keeping them, he it is who loving Me:
but he who loving Me, shall be loved by My Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.

22
Judas, not Iscariot, says to Him,
Lord, what has happened that Thou should manifest Thyself to us, and not to the World?

23 Jesus answered and said to him,
If a man may love Me, he will keep My word:
and My Father will love him, and we will come to him,
and make our abode with him.

24 He who loving Me not, keeps not My words:
and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but that of the Father who sent Me.

25 These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.

26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name,
He will teach you all things, and will put all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.

27
Peace I leave with you,
My peace I give to you:
not as the World gives, give I to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 Ye have heard that I said to you,
I go away, and come to you. If ye loved Me,
ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father:
for My Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass,
that when it has come to pass, ye may believe.

30 I will no more talk much with you: for the ruler of this World comes, and has nothing in Me.

31 But that the World may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me Commandment,
even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

15

1 [Parable of the True Vine].
I AM the true Vine, and My Father is the Husbandman.

2 Every branch in Me that bearing not fruit,
He takes it away; and every branch that bearing fruit,
He cleans it, that it may bear more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through 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 may abide in the vine:
no more can ye, except ye may abide in Me.

5 I AM the Vine, ye are the branches:
he who abiding in Me, and I in him,
the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man may abide not in Me, he is cast forth as the branch, and is withered:
and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and it is burned.

7 If ye may abide in Me, and My words may abide in you, ye shall ask whatever ye may will, and it shall be done to you.

8 In this is My Father glorified, that ye should bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.

9 As the Father has loved Me, I also loved you: continue ye in My love.

10 If ye may keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My love;
even as I have kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His love.

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

12 This is My Commandment, That ye love one another; as I have loved you.

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

14 Ye are My friends, if ye should do whatever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does:
but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from My Father,
I have made known to you.

16 Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye may ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye should love one another.

18 [Hated by the World].
If the World hates you, ye know that it has hated Me first before you.

19 If ye were of the World, the World would love its own:
but because ye are not of the World,
but I have chosen you out of the World,
therefore the World hates you.

20 Remember the word that I said to you,
The servant is not greater than his Lord.
If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you:
if they have kept My word, they will keep also yours.

21 But all these things will they do to you for My Name's sake,
because they have not known Him who having sent Me.

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin:
but now they have no cloak for their sin.

23 He who hating Me, hates also My Father.

24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man has done, they had not had sin:
but now they have seen, and also have hated: both Me and My Father.

25 But that the Word might be fulfilled that has been written in their Law,
They hated Me without cause. Psa 69:4 Psa 35:19

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father,
even the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning Me.

27 And ye also bear testimony, because ye are with Me from the beginning.

16

1 These things have I spoken to you, that ye may not be offended.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues:
but the hour comes, that whoever kills you, will think that he does God service.

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

4
But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour should come, ye may remember that I told you of them.
And these things I told not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go to Him who having sent Me, and none of you asks Me, where goes Thou?

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

7 But I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I should depart;
for if I should not depart, the Comforter will not come to you;
but if I should depart, I will send Him to you.

8 And He having come, He will reprove the World of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment;

9 of sin, because they believe not on Me;

10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;

11 of judgment, because the ruler of this World has been judged.

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

13 But, when He[the Comforter] may come, the Spirit of Truth will guide you into all the truth:
for He will not speak from Himself; but whatever He shall hear,
that will He speak: and He will show you things to come.

14 He will glorify Me: for He will receive of Mine, and will show it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are Mine: therefore I said, that He will take of Mine, and show it to you.

16 [Ye shall not see Me].
A little while, and ye do not see Me: and again,
a little while, and ye shall see Me,
because I go to the Father.

17 Then said some of His disciples among one another,
What is this that He says to us,
A little while, and ye do not see Me: and again,
a little while, and ye shall see Me:
and because I go to the Father?

18 They said therefore, What is this that He says,
A little while? We have not known what He speaks.

19 Then Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them,
Do ye inquire with one another of that which I said,
A little while, and ye do not see Me: and again,
a little while, and ye shall see Me?

20 [End of tribulation].
Amen, Amen I say to you, That ye will weep and lament,
but the World will rejoice: and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall become into joy!

21 The woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come:
but when she is delivered of the Child, she remembers no more the tribulation,
for joy that a Child was born into the World.

22 And ye now therefore have sorrow:
but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

23 And in that day ye will request Me nothing:
Amen, Amen I say to you, Whatever ye may ask the Father in My Name, He will give it you!

24 Until now ye have asked nothing in My Name:
ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 [From the Father].
These things I have spoken to you in proverbs:
but the hour comes when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs,
but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.

26 At that day ye will ask in My Name:
and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 for the Father Himself loves you, because ye have loved Me,
and have believed that I came from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the World:
again, I leave the World, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples say to Him,
Behold, now speak Thou plainly, and speak no proverb.

30 Now we have known that Thou have known all things, and need not that anyone should ask Thee:
by this we believe that Thou came from God.

31 Jesus answered them,
Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour comes, and now has come, that ye may be scattered every man to his own,
and may leave Me alone: and yet I AM not alone, because the Father is with Me.

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me ye may have peace.
In the World ye shall have tribulation,
but be of good cheer: I have overcome the World.

17

1 [High Priestly Prayer].
These things spoke Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said,
Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee:

2 as Thou given Him authority over all flesh, that all which Thou have given Him, He should give to them everlasting life.

3 And this is everlasting life, that they may know Thee the only true God, and whom Thou have sent, Jesus Christ.

4 I have glorified Thee on the Earth: I finished the work which Thou have given Me to do.

5 And now, Father, glorify Thou Me with Thy own self, with the glory which I had with Thee, be before the World.

6 I have manifested Thy Name to the men whom Thou have given to Me out of the World:
Thy they were, and Thou have given them to Me; and they have kept Thy word.

7 Now they have known that all things whatever Thou have given Me are from Thee.

8 For the words which Thou have given to Me, I have given to them; and they received them,
and have known truly that I came from Thee, and they have believed that Thou did send Me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the World, but for them whom Thou have given to Me; for they are Thy,

10 and all Mine are Thy, and Thy are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 And now I AM no more in the World, but these are in the World,
and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep in Thy own Name those whom Thou have given to Me,
that they may be one, as We.

12 When I was with them in the World, I kept them in Thy Name: those whom Thou have given to Me I have kept,
and none of them is lost except the Son of Perdition;
that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to Thee, and these things I speak in the World,
that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given to them Thy word; and the World has hated them,
because they are not of the World, even as I AM not of the World.

15 I pray not that Thou should take them out of the World,
but that Thou 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 Thy truth: Thy word is truth.

18 As Thou have sent Me into the World, even so have I also sent them into the World.

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

20 And I neither for these alone; but for them also who shall believing in Me through their word.

21 That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, are in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be One in Us:
that the World may believe that Thou have sent Me.

22 And the glory which Thou have given to Me, I have given to them;
that they may be one, even as We are One.

23 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect into One;
and that the World may know that Thou have sent Me,
and loved them as Thou loved Me.

24 Father, I will that they also whom Thou have given to Me where I AM;
that they may be with Me and behold My glory which Thou have given to Me:
for Thou loved Me before the foundation of the World.

25 Righteous Father, the World has not known Thee:
but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou have sent Me.

26 And I have declared to them Thy Name, and will declare it:
that the love with which Thou loved Me, may be in them, and I in them.

18

1 [Gethsemane].
Jesus having said these things, He went forth with His disciples over the brook Kidron,
where was a garden, into which He entered, and His disciples.

2 [Arrest of Jesus].
And Judas also, who betrayed Him, had known the place: for Jesus often resorted there with His disciples.

3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
comes there with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went forth, and said to them,
Whom seek ye?

5 They answered Him,
Jesus the Nazarene.
Jesus says to them, I AM.
And Judas also, who betrayed Him, had stood with them.

6 As soon then as He said to them, I AM,
they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then He asked them again,
Whom seek ye?
And they said,
Jesus the Nazarene.

8 Jesus answered,
I have told you that I AM:
If therefore ye seek Me, let these go away:

9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke,
Of them whom Thou have given to Me, I have lost none.

10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the servant of the High Priest,
and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11 Then said Jesus to Peter,
Put up Thy sword into the sheath: the cup which My Father has given Me, should I not drink it?

12 Then the band, and the tribune, and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him,

13 and led Him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was that same year the High Priest).

14 Now Caiaphas was he who having counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should to perish for the people.

15 [Peter's denial 1].
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple.
That disciple was known to the High Priest,
and went in with Jesus into the palace of the High Priest.

16 But Peter had stood at the door outside.
Then went out the other disciple who was known to the High Priest,
and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

17 Then says the maid-servant that kept the door to Peter,
Are not Thou also one of this man's disciples?
He says, I am not.

18 And the servants and officers had stood there, having made a fire of coals; (for it was cold).
and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warmed himself.

19 [By Caiaphas].
The High Priest then asked Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His doctrine.

20 Jesus answered him,
I spoke openly to the World; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the Temple,
where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

21 Why do Thou ask Me?
Ask them who having heard what I have said to them:
behold, these have known what I have said.

22 And He having said these, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palms, saying,
Answer Thou so to the High Priest?

23 Jesus answered him,
If I have spoken evilly, bear testimony of the evil: but if well, why beat Thou Me?

24 (Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest).

25 [Peter's denial 2].
And Simon Peter was standing and warmed himself.
They said therefore to him,
Are not Thou also one of His disciples?
He denied it, and said, I am not.

26 One of the servants of the High Priest (being the relative of him whose ear Peter cut off) says,
Did not I see Thee in the garden with Him?

27 Peter then denied again, and immediately a cock crowed.

28 [By Pilate].
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium[judgment-hall]:
and it was early; and they themselves went not into the Praetorium[judgment-hall],
lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the Passover.

29 Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 They answered and said to him,
If He were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to Thee.

31 Then said Pilate to them,
Take ye Him, and judge Him according to your Law.
The Jews therefore 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 what death He was about to die.

33 Then Pilate entered into the Praetorium[judgment-hall] again, and called Jesus, said to Him,
Are Thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered him,
Say Thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it Thee concerning Me?

35 Pilate answered,
Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests,
have delivered Thee to Me: What have Thou 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 might not be delivered to the Jews:
but now is My Kingdom not from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said to Him, are Thou then not a King?
Jesus answered, Thou say that I AM a King.
To this end was I born, and for this cause I have come into the World,
that I may testify to the truth. Every one that being of the truth hears My voice.

38 Pilate says to Him, What is truth?
And he having said this, he went out again to the Jews,
and says to them, I find in Him no fault.

39 [Barabbas and Crucifixion of Jesus].
But it is a custom to you that I should release to you one at the Passover:
will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?

40 Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas!
(Now Barabbas was a robber).

19

1
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him.

2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on His head,
and they put on Him a purple robe,

3 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck Him with their palms.

4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and says to them,
Behold, I bring Him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.

5 Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe.
And Pilate says to them,
Behold the Man!

6 When therefore the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out,
saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him!
Pilate says to them,
Take ye Him, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.

7
The Jews answered Him,
We have a Law, and by our Law He ought to die,
because He made Himself the Son of God.

8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

9 and went again into the Praetorium[judgment-hall], and says to Jesus,
Whence are Thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Then says Pilate to Him, Speak Thou not to me?
Have Thou not Known, that I have authority to crucify Thee, and I have authority to release Thee?

11 Jesus answered,
Thou have no authority against Me; except it were given Thee from above:
therefore he who delivering Me to Thee has the greater sin.

12 From thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him:
but the Jews cried out,
saying, If Thou let this man go, Thou are not the friend of Caesar.
Whoever making Himself a king, speaks against Caesar.

13 When Pilate therefore having heard that saying,
He brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat,
in a place being called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14
And it was the preparation of the Passover,
and about the sixth hour[Roman time]: and He says to the Jews,
Behold your King!

15 But they cried out,
Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!
Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief priests answered,
We have no King except Caesar.

16
Then therefore he delivered Him to them, that He might be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led Him away.

17 And He bearing His cross went forth into a place being called the place of a skull,
which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha:

18 where they crucified Him,
and two others with Him,
on one side and the other side,
and Jesus in the middle.

19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross.
And the writing was,
Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews.

20 Many of the Jews then read this title:
for the place was near to the city where Jesus was crucified:
and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate,
Write not, The King of the Jews; but that He said,
I AM King of the Jews.

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

23
Then the soldiers, when they 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 Therefore they said among one another,
Let us not rent it, but cast lots for it to find whose it shall be (that the Scripture might be fulfilled which saying,
They divided My garments among them, and they cast a lot for My clothing).
Therefore the soldiers did these things. Psa 22:18

25 Now there had stood by the cross of Jesus,
His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus therefore seeing His mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, He says to His mother,
Woman, behold Thy son!

27 Then He says to the disciple,
Behold Thy mother!
And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

28
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
says, I thirst.

29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar,
and put it upon hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

30 When Jesus therefore received the vinegar,
He said, It has been finished:
and He bowed His head, and expired.

31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation[before the 15th of the first month],
that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the [annual] Sabbath,
(for that Sabbath was a great day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him.

33 But when they having come to Jesus, and saw that He was dead already, they broke not His legs.

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

35 And he who having seen has testified, and his testimony is true:
and he has known that he speaks truth, that ye may believe.

36 For these things were done, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, no bone shall be broken of Him. Exo 12:46 Num 9:12 Psa 34:20

37 And again another Scripture says, they shall look to whom they pierced. Zec 12:10

38 [Buried in the Tomb].
And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews);
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him permission.
He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

39 And there came also Nicodemus (who having come at the first to Jesus by night);
and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred litras.

40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen clothes, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

41 Now in the place where He was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new Tomb,
in which was never man yet laid.

42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

20

1 [Resurrection of Jesus].
At the First of the Weeks comes Mary Magdalene, Lev 23:15-16
early, when it being yet dark, to the Tomb,
and sees the stone taken away from the Tomb.

2 Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter,
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them,
They have taken away the Lord out of the Tomb,
and we have not known where they have laid Him.

3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the Tomb.

4 So they ran two together: and the other disciple ran more quickly than Peter, and came first to the Tomb.

5 And he stooping down, sees the linen clothes lying; however, he went not in.

6 Then comes Simon Peter following him,
and went into the Tomb, and sees the linen clothes lying;

7 and the handkerchief that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in one place by itself.

8 Then went in also the other disciple who having come first to the Tomb,
and he saw, and believed.

9 For as yet they had not known the Scripture, that He must to rise again from the dead. Psa 16:10

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

11
But Mary had stood outside at the Tomb weeping: then as she wept she stooped down to look into the Tomb,

12 and sees two Angels in white,
sitting, the one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.

13 And they say to her,
Woman, why weep Thou? She says to them,
Because they have taken away my Lord,
and I have not known where they have laid Him.

14 And she having said these, she turned herself about, and sees Jesus standing, and had not known that it is Jesus.

15 Jesus says to her,
Woman, why weep Thou? Whom seek Thou?
She, supposing Him is the gardener, says to Him,
Lord, if Thou did bear Him hence, tell Me where Thou have laid Him, and I will take Him away.

16 Jesus says to her,
Mary. She turned herself, and says to Him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus says to her,
Touch Me not: for I have not yet ascended to My Father: but go to My brethren, Joh 20:27
and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God. Luk 24:39

18 Mary Magdalene comes and telling the disciples that she has seen the Lord,
and that He said these things to her.

19 [Thomas doubts].
Then the same day at evening, being the First of the Weeks, Lev 23:15-16
when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in the middle,
and says to them, Peace be to you.

20 And He having said this, He showed to them His hands and His side.
Then the disciples rejoiced, they having seen the Lord.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be to you:
as My Father has sent Me, I also send you.

22 And He having said this, He breathed on them, and says to them,
Receive ye the Holy Spirit.

23 Of whomsoever sins ye may remit, they are remitted to them;
of whomsoever sins ye may retain, they have been retained.

24
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, being called Didymus,
was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said to him,
We have seen the Lord.
But He said to them,
Except I may see in His hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger into the print of the nails,
and thrust my hand into His side,
I will not believe.

26 And after eight days again His disciples were within,
and Thomas with them: then comes Jesus,
the doors being shut, and stood in the middle,
and said, Peace be to you.

27 Then He says to Thomas,
Reach here Thy finger, and behold My hands;
and reach here Thy hand, and thrust it into My side;
and be not faithless, but faithful.

28 And Thomas answered and said to Him,
My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus says to him,
Thomas, because Thou have seen Me, Thou have believed.
Blessed are they that not having seen, and yet have believed!

30
Then indeed many other signs did Jesus also in the presence of His disciples,
which are not written in this Book.

31 But these has been written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ[Messiah], the Son of God,
and that believing ye may have life in His Name.

21

1 [Catching hundred fifty three fishes].
After these Jesus was manifested again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias:
and in this manner did He show Himself.

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas being called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee,
and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.

3 Simon Peter says to them, I go a fishing.
They say to Him, We also go with Thee.
They went forth, and went up into the ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4 But it becoming morning now, Jesus stood on the shore:
however, the disciples had not known that it is Jesus.

5 Then Jesus says to them, children, have ye any victuals?
They answered Him, No.

6 But He said to them,
Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore,
and they were no more able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter,
It is the Lord.
Now when Simon Peter having heard that it is the Lord,
he girded on his fisher's coat, (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.

8 And the other disciples came in a boat (for they were not far from land,
but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes.

9 When therefore they came away to the land,
they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid upon them, and bread.

10 Jesus says to them,
Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred fifty three:
and though being so many, the net was not rent.

12 Jesus says to them,
Come and dine. And none of the disciples dared ask Him, Who are Thou?
Knowing that it is the Lord.

13 Jesus then comes, and takes bread,
and gives them, and likewise fish.

14 [Feed My sheep].
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to His disciples, after He having risen from the dead.

15 Then when they dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter,
Simon son of Jonah, love Thou Me more than these?
He says to Him, Yes, Lord: Thou have known that I love Thee.
He says to him, Feed My lambs.

16 He says to him again the second time,
Simon son of Jonah, love Thou Me?
He says to Him, Yes, Lord: Thou have known that I love Thee.
He says to him, Feed My sheep.

17 He says to him the third time,
Simon son of Jonah, love Thou Me?
Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time, Love Thou Me?
And he said to Him, Lord, Thou have known all things; Thou know that I love Thee.
Jesus says to him, Feed My sheep.

18 [The Great Commission].
Amen, Amen I say to Thee, When Thou were young,
Thou did gird thyself and walk where Thou would: but when Thou may be old,
Thou shall stretch forth Thy hands, and another shall gird Thee, and carry Thee where Thou would not!

19 But this He said, signifying by what death He should glorify God.
And He having said this, He says to him, Follow Me.

20
Then Peter turned, and sees the disciple whom Jesus loved, following;
who also leaned on His breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he who betraying Thee?

21 Peter seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 Jesus says to him, If I will that he may tarry until I Come, what is that to Thee?
Follow Thou Me.

23 Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that this disciple not dies: yet Jesus said not to him,
That he not dies; but, if I will that he may tarry until I Come, what is that to Thee?

24 This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we have known that his testimony is true.

25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the World itself could not have room for the books being written. Amen!
