opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall
speak for himself.
43:009:022 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:
for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess
that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
43:009:023 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
43:009:024 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto
him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
43:009:025 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know
not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
43:009:026 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
he thine eyes?
43:009:027 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not
hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his
disciples?
43:009:028 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we
are Moses' disciples.
43:009:029 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know
not from whence he is.
43:009:030 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a
marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet
he hath opened mine eyes.
43:009:031 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
43:009:032 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the
eyes of one that was born blind.
43:009:033 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
43:009:034 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
43:009:035 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found
him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
43:009:036 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
him?
43:009:037 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
that talketh with thee.
43:009:038 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
43:009:039 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that
they which see not might see; and that they which see might be
made blind.
43:009:040 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
43:009:041 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
43:010:001 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and a robber.
43:010:002 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the
sheep.
43:010:003 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
43:010:004 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
43:010:005 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:
for they know not the voice of strangers.
43:010:006 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not
what things they were which he spake unto them.
43:010:007 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep.
43:010:008 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.
43:010:009 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
43:010:010 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.
43:010:011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep.
43:010:012 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own
the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the
sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth
the sheep.
43:010:013 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
for the sheep.
43:010:014 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
mine.
43:010:015 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay
down my life for the sheep.
43:010:016 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 fold, and one shepherd.
43:010:017 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.
43:010:018 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father.
43:010:019 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
sayings.
43:010:020 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
ye him?
43:010:021 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil.
Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
43:010:022 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it
was winter.
43:010:023 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
43:010:024 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How
long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell
us plainly.
43:010:025 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the
works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
43:010:026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
unto you.
43:010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
43:010:028 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
43:010:029 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
43:010:030 I and my Father are one.
43:010:031 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
43:010:032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
43:010:033 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
makest thyself God.
43:010:034 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
are gods?
43:010:035 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken;
43:010:036 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into
the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of
God?
43:010:037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
43:010:038 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that
ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in
him.
43:010:039 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand,
43:010:040 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
43:010:041 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
all things that John spake of this man were true.
43:010:042 And many believed on him there.
43:011:001 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the
town of Mary and her sister Martha.
43:011:002 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
43:011:003 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he
whom thou lovest is sick.
43:011:004 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto
death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby.
43:011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
43:011:006 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
days still in the same place where he was.
43:011:007 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into
Judaea again.
43:011:008 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to
stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
43:011:009 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any
man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the
light of this world.
43:011:010 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is
no light in him.
43:011:011 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of
sleep.
43:011:012 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
43:011:013 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
43:011:014 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
43:011:015 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
43:011:016 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
43:011:017 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave
four days already.
43:011:018 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
off:
43:011:019 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother.
43:011:020 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
43:011:021 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
43:011:022 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give it thee.
43:011:023 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
43:011:024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
43:011:025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
43:011:026 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
43:011:027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
43:011:028 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary
her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth
for thee.
43:011:029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto
him.
43:011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that
place where Martha met him.
43:011:031 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted
her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went
out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep
there.
43:011:032 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell
down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died.
43:011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled.
43:011:034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
come and see.
43:011:035 Jesus wept.
43:011:036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
43:011:037 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the
eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not
have died?
43:011:038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave.
It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
43:011:039 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh:
for he hath been dead four days.
43:011:040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
43:011:041 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead
was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I
thank thee that thou hast heard me.
43:011:042 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the
people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that
thou hast sent me.
43:011:043 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.
43:011:044 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with
graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
43:011:045 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the
things which Jesus did, believed on him.
43:011:046 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told
them what things Jesus had done.
43:011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council,
and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
43:011:048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the
Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
43:011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that
same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
43:011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should
die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
43:011:051 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that
year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
43:011:052 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad.
43:011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put
him to death.
43:011:054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went
thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city
called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
43:011:055 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.
43:011:056 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as
they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come
to the feast?
43:011:057 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should
shew it, that they might take him.
43:012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
43:012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
was one of them that sat at the table with him.
43:012:003 Then took Mary a pound 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.
43:012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
which should betray him,
43:012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
given to the poor?
43:012:006 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he
was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
43:012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
hath she kept this.
43:012:008 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always.
43:012:009 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and
they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see
Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
43:012:010 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
also to death;
43:012:011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and
believed on Jesus.
43:012:012 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when
they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
43:012:013 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and
cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in
the name of the Lord.
43:012:014 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it
is written,
43:012:015 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting
on an ass's colt.
43:012:016 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but
when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these
things were written of him, and that they had done these
things unto him.
43:012:017 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus
out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
43:012:018 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard
that he had done this miracle.
43:012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how
ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
43:012:020 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to
worship at the feast:
43:012:021 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
43:012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
tell Jesus.
43:012:023 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
Son of man should be glorified.
43:012:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall
into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit.
43:012:025 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
43:012:026 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there
shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
Father honour.
43:012:027 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me
from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
43:012:028 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
43:012:029 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
43:012:030 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
but for your sakes.
43:012:031 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
this world be cast out.
43:012:032 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto me.
43:012:033 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
43:012:034 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that
Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man
must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
43:012:035 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light
with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come
upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither
he goeth.
43:012:036 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the
children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and
did hide himself from them.
43:012:037 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they
believed not on him:
43:012:038 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to
whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
43:012:039 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said
again,
43:012:040 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that
they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their
heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
43:012:041 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of
him.
43:012:042 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him;
but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
they should be put out of the synagogue:
43:012:043 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
43:012:044 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not
on me, but on him that sent me.
43:012:045 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
43:012:046 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
me should not abide in darkness.
43:012:047 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
43:012:048 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day.
43:012:049 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should
speak.
43:012:050 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
43:013:001 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the
Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved
them unto the end.
43:013:002 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
43:013:003 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
43:013:004 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a
towel, and girded himself.
43:013:005 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith
he was girded.
43:013:006 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
43:013:007 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not
now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
43:013:008 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
43:013:009 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
my hands and my head.
43:013:010 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash
his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not
all.
43:013:011 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are
not all clean.
43:013:012 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have
done to you?
43:013:013 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
43:013:014 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
also ought to wash one another's feet.
43:013:015 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
done to you.
43:013:016 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater
than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
sent him.
43:013:017 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
43:013:018 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me
hath lifted up his heel against me.
43:013:019 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass,
ye may believe that I am he.
43:013:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I
send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me.
43:013:021 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one
of you shall betray me.
43:013:022 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he
spake.
43:013:023 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
43:013:024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who
it should be of whom he spake.
43:013:025 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is
it?
43:013:026 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I
have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to
Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
43:013:027 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto
him, That thou doest, do quickly.
43:013:028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
unto him.
43:013:029 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of
against the feast; or, that he should give something to the
poor.
43:013:030 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it
was night.
43:013:031 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of
man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
43:013:032 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in
himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
43:013:033 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall
seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
come; so now I say to you.
43:013:034 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
43:013:035 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye
have love one to another.
43:013:036 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but
thou shalt follow me afterwards.
43:013:037 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
will lay down my life for thy sake.
43:013:038 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till
thou hast denied me thrice.
43:014:001 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me.
43:014:002 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
