with him.
(67)Jesus said therefore to the twelve: Will ye also go away?
(68)Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast
words of eternal life. (69)And we believe and know, that thou art the
Holy One of God. (70)Jesus answered them: Did I not choose you, the
twelve, and one of you is a devil? (71)He spoke of Judas Iscariot, son
of Simon; for he it was that would betray him, being one of the
twelve.
VII.
AND after these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk
in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
(2)Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
(3)His brothers therefore said to him: Depart hence, and go into
Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou doest.
(4)For no one does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be
known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the
world. (5)For neither did his brothers believe on him. (6)Jesus
therefore says to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is
always ready. (7)The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because
I testify of it, that its works are evil. (8)Go ye up to the feast. I
go not up to this feast; because my time is not yet fully come.
(9)Having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee. (10)But
when his brothers were gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not
openly, but as it were in secret.
(11)The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said: Where is he?
(12)And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him.
Some said: He is a good man; others said: Nay, but he misleads the
multitude. (13)No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the
Jews.
(14)But when it was already the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into
the temple and taught. (15)And the Jews wondered, saying: How knows
this man letters, having never learned? (16)Jesus therefore answered
them, and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. (17)If
any one desires to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether
it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. (18)He that speaks from
himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him who
sent him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
(19)Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you keeps the law?
Why do ye seek to kill me? (20)The multitude answered and said: Thou
hast a demon; who seeks to kill thee? (21)Jesus answered and said to
them: I did one work, and ye all marvel. (22)Moses has for this cause
given you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;
and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. (23)If a man receives
circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken;
are ye angry at me, because I made a man altogether whole on the
sabbath? (24)Judge not according to appearance, but judge the
righteous judgment.
(25)Then said some of those of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they
seek to kill? (26)But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to
him. Did the rulers know[7:26] in truth that this is the Christ?
(27)But we know this man, whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no
one knows whence he is.
(28)Jesus therefore cried, teaching in the temple and saying: Ye both
know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but
he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. (29)I know him; because I
am from him, and he sent me. (30)Therefore they sought to seize him;
and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
(31)But of the multitude many believed on him, and said: When the
Christ comes, will he work more signs than these which this man
wrought? (32)The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things
concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers
to seize him. (33)Jesus therefore said: Yet a little while I am with
you, and I go to him who sent me. (34)Ye will seek me, and shall not
find me; and where I am, ye can not come. (35)The Jews said therefore
among themselves: Whither will this man go, that we shall not find
him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the
Greeks? (36)What is this saying that he said: Ye will seek me, and
shall not find me; and where I am, ye can not come?
(37)In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. (38)He
that believes on me, as said the Scripture, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water. (39)And this he spoke concerning the
Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive; for the Holy
Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(40)Some of the multitude therefore, hearing the words, said: Of a
truth this is the Prophet. (41)Others said: This is the Christ. But
some said: Does the Christ then come out of Galilee? (42)Did not the
Scripture say, that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from
the town of Bethlehem, where David was? (43)A division therefore arose
among the multitude because of him. (44)And some of them desired to
seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
(45)The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees;
and they said to them: Why did ye not bring him? (46)The officers
answered: Never man spoke like this man[7:47]. (47)The Pharisees
answered them: Are ye also led astray? (48)Did any of the rulers
believe on him, or of the Pharisees? (49)But this multitude, that know
not the law, are accursed. (50)Nicodemus says to them (he who came to
him by night, being one of them): (51)Does our law judge a man, except
it first hear from him, and know what he does? (52)They answered and
said to him: Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see, that out of
Galilee arises no prophet[7:52]. (53)[7:53][And each one went to his
house.
VIII.
JESUS went to the mount of the Olives.
(2)And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the
people came to him; and having sat down, he was teaching them. (3)And
the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery;
and having placed her in the midst, (4)they say to him: Teacher, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the very act: (5)Now in the law Moses
commanded us, that such should be stoned; what then dost thou say?
(6)This they said, tempting him, that they might have whereof to
accuse him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with his
finger in the ground. (7)And as they continued asking him, raising
himself up, he said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him
first cast the stone at her. (8)And again stooping down, he wrote in
the ground. (9)And they hearing it, and being convicted by their
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, unto the
last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
(10)And Jesus raising himself up, and seeing none but the woman, said
to her: Woman, where are they, thine accusers? Did no one condemn
thee? (11)She said: No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her: Neither do I
condemn thee; go, and sin no more.]
(12)Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the
world; he that follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall
have the light of life. (13)The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou
bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. (14)Jesus
answered and said to them: Though I bear witness of myself, my witness
is true; because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know
not whence I come, or whither I go. (15)Ye judge according to the
flesh; I judge no one. (16)And even if I judge, my judgment is true;
because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. (17)It is
written also in your law, that the witness of two men is true. (18)I
am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears
witness of me. (19)They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father?
Jesus answered: Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye
would know my Father also.
(20)These words he spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the
temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet
come.
(21)Again therefore he said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me,
and shall die in your sin. Whither I go, ye can not come. (22)The Jews
therefore said: Will he kill himself? because he says: Whither I go,
ye can not come. (23)And he said to them: Ye are from beneath; I am
from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world. (24)I said
therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe
not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. (25)Therefore they said
to him: Who art thou? And Jesus said to them: That which I also say to
you from the beginning. (26)I have many things to say and to judge
concerning you. But he who sent me is true; and the things which I
heard from him, these I speak to the world. (27)They understood not
that he spoke to them of the Father.
(28)Therefore Jesus said to them: When ye shall have lifted up the Son
of man, then ye shall know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing,
but as the Father taught me, those things I speak. (29)And he who sent
me is with me. He has not left me alone; because I do always the
things that please him. (30)As he spoke these words many believed on
him.
(31)Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye
continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples; (32)and ye shall know
the truth, and the truth will make you free. (33)They answered him: We
are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to any one. How
sayest thou: Ye shall be made free? (34)Jesus answered them: Verily,
verily, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a servant of sin.
(35)And the servant abides not in the house forever. (36)The Son
abides forever; if therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be
free indeed. (37)I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to
kill me, because my word has no place in you. (38)I speak what I have
seen with my Father; and ye therefore do what ye have heard from your
father.
(39)They answered and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus says
to them: If ye were children of Abraham, ye would do the works of
Abraham. (40)But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken to you
the truth, which I heard from God. This Abraham did not. (41)Ye do the
works of your father. They said to him: We were not born of
fornication; we have one father, God. (42)Jesus said to them: If God
were your father, ye would love me; for from God I came forth, and am
come; neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. (43)Why do ye not
understand my speech? Because ye can not hear my word. (44)Ye are of
your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was
a murderer from the beginning, and abides not in the truth, because
truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own;
because he is a liar, and the father of it. (45)And because I speak
the truth, ye believe me not.
(46)Which of you convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not
believe me? (47)He that is of God hears God's words; ye therefore hear
not, because ye are not of God.
(48)The Jews answered and said to him: Say we not well, that thou art
a Samaritan, and hast a demon? (49)Jesus answered: I have not a demon;
but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. (50)And I seek not my own
glory; there is one that seeks, and judges. (51)Verily, verily, I say
to you, if any one keep my saying, he shall not see death, forever.
(52)The Jews said to him: Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham
is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If a man keep my saying,
he shall not taste of death, forever. (53)Art thou greater than our
father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom makest
thou thyself? (54)Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is
nothing. It is my Father that honors me, of whom ye say, that he is
your God. (55)And ye know him not; but I know him. And if I say, I
know him not, I shall be a liar like to you. But I know him, and I
keep his word. (56)Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see my day; and
he saw it, and was glad. (57)The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art
not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? (58)Jesus said to
them: Verily, verily, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am. (59)They
took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and
went out of the temple.
IX.
AND passing along, he saw a man blind from his birth. (2)And his
disciples asked him, saying: Master, who sinned, this man or his
parents, that he should be born blind? (3)Jesus answered: Neither this
man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made
manifest in him. (4)I must work the works of him who sent me, while it
is day. Night is coming, when none can work. (5)As long as I am in the
world, I am the light of the world.
(6)Having thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the
spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, (7)and
said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is interpreted,
Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
(8)The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he
was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sits and begs? (9)Some said:
This is he; and others: He is like him; he said: I am he.
(10)Therefore they said to him: How were thine eyes opened? (11)He
answered: A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and
said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash. And I went away and
washed, and received sight. (12)They said to him: Where is he? He
said: I know not.
(13)They bring to the Pharisees him who before was blind. (14)And it
was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
(15)Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him, how he received
sight. He said to them: He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and
do see. (16)Therefore some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from
God, because he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that
is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
(17)They say to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, seeing
that he opened thine eyes? He said: He is a Prophet.
(18)The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he was
blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him that
received sight. (19)And they asked them, saying: Is this your son, who
ye say was born blind? How then does he now see? (20)His parents
answered them and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was
born blind. (21)But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who
opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age; ask him. He shall speak
for himself. (22)These words spoke his parents, because they feared
the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one
acknowledged him as Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
(23)Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
(24)They therefore called a second time the man that was blind, and
said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
(25)He answered therefore: Whether he is a sinner, I know not; one
thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (26)They therefore
said to him: What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? (27)He
answered them: I told you already, and ye did not hear. Wherefore
would ye hear again? Will ye also become his disciples? (28)They
reviled him, and said: Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses'
disciples. (29)We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this man we
know not, whence he is. (30)The man answered and said to them: Why
herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and he
opened mine eyes. (31)Now we know that God hears not sinners. But if
any one is a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
(32)Since the world began, it was not heard that any one opened the
eyes of one born blind. (33)If this man were not from God, he could do
nothing. (34)They answered and said to him: Thou wast altogether born
in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
(35)Jesus heard that they cast him out; and finding him, he said to
him: Dost thou believe on the Son of God? (36)He answered and said:
Who then is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? (37)And Jesus said to
him: Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that talks with thee.
(38)And he said: Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
(39)And Jesus said: For judgment came I into this world; that they who
see not may see, and that they who see may become blind. (40)And some
of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him:
Are we also blind? (41)Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would
not have sin. But now ye say: We see. Your sin remains!
X.
VERILY, verily, I say to you: He that enters not through the door into
the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber. (2)But he that enters in through the door is a shepherd of the
sheep. (3)To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and
he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. (4)And when he has
put forth all his own, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him,
for they know his voice. (5)And a stranger they will not follow, but
will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
(6)This parable spoke Jesus to them; but they understood not what
things they were which he spoke to them.
(7)Therefore said Jesus to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, I
am the door of the sheep. (8)All who came before me are thieves and
robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. (9)I am the door. If any one
enter in through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and
find pasture. (10)The thief comes not but to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it
abundantly.
(11)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for
the sheep. (12)But he that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose
own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and
flees; and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. (13)The
hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
(14)I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and am known by mine,
(15)as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my
life for the sheep. (16)And other sheep I have, which are not of this
fold. Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one flock, one shepherd. (17)For this the Father loves me,
because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. (18)No one takes
it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it
down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I
received from my Father.
(19)Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these
words. (20)And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad, why do
ye hear him? (21)Others said: These are not the words of one that has
a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
(22)And there came the feast of the dedication, in Jerusalem; and it
was winter. (23)And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of
Solomon. (24)The Jews therefore came around him, and said to him: How
long dost thou hold us in doubt[10:24]? If thou art the Christ, tell
us plainly.
(25)Jesus answered them: I told you, and ye do not believe. The works
that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. (26)But ye do
not believe; for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. (27)My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; (28)and I
give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any
one pluck them out of my hand. (29)My Father, who has given them to
me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand. (30)I and the Father are one.
(31)The Jews therefore took up stones again to stone him. (32)Jesus
answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for
which of those works do ye stone me? (33)The Jews answered him: For a
good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou,
being man, makest thyself God. (34)Jesus answered them: Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (35)If he called them gods
to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture can not be broken,
(36)say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the
world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? (37)If I
do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (38)But if I do, though
ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know, that
the Father is in me, and I in the Father. (39)Therefore they sought
again to seize him; and he went forth, out of their hand.
(40)And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John
was at first immersing; and there he abode. (41)And many came to him,
and said: John indeed wrought no sign; but all things that John spoke
of this man were true. (42)And many believed on him there.
XI.
NOW a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, from the village of
Mary and Martha her sister. (2)It was the Mary who anointed the Lord
with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus
was sick. (3)The sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold,
he whom thou lovest is sick. (4)And Jesus hearing it, said: This
sickness is not for death, but for the sake of the glory of God, that
the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
(5)Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. (6)When
therefore he heard that he was sick, he then abode two days in the
place where he was. (7)Then after this he says to the disciples: Let
us go into Judaea again. (8)The disciples say to him: Master, the Jews
of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? (9)Jesus
answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in
the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
(10)But if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light
is not in him.
(11)These things said he; and after this he says to them: Lazarus our
friend has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
(12)Therefore his disciples said: Lord if he has fallen asleep, he
will be restored. (13)But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they
thought that he said it of taking rest in sleep. (14)Then therefore
Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. (15)And I am glad for
your sakes that I was not there, that ye may believe. But let us go to
him. (16)Therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow
disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
(17)Having come therefore, Jesus found that he had already been four
days in the tomb.
(18)Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.
(19)And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother.
(20)Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, went and
met him; but Mary sat in the house. (21)Then said Martha to Jesus:
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. (22)But even
now, I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it
thee. (23)Jesus says to her: Thy brother will rise again. (24)Martha
says to him: I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at
the last day. (25)Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the
life; he that believes on me, though he be dead, yet shall he live;
(26)and whoever lives and believes on me, shall never die. Believest
thou this? (27)She says to him: Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.
(28)And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying: The Teacher is come, and calls for thee. (29)And
she, when she heard it, rises quickly and comes to him.
(30)Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place
where Martha met him. (31)The Jews therefore who were with her in the
house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and
went out, followed her, saying: She goes to the tomb to weep there.
(32)Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell
down at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
(33)Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who
came with her, groaned in spirit, and was troubled. (34)And he said:
Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. (35)Jesus
wept.
(36)The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him! (37)And some of
them said: Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have
caused even that this man should not have died? (38)Jesus therefore,
again groaning in himself, comes to the tomb. It was a cave, and a
stone lay upon it.
