27 heard from him, these speak I unto the world. They perceived not that he spake to them of the Ether. 28 Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of

man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak 29 these things. And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are 30 pleasing to him. As he spake these things, many be lieved on him.

31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my dis32 ciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall 33 make you free. They answered unto him, We be Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any 34 man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every 35 one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

And

the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the 36 son abideth for ever. If therefore the Son shall make 37 you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know that ye are

Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word 38 hath not free course in you. I speak the things which

I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things39 which ye heard from your father. They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the 40 works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: 41 this did not Abraham. Ye do the works of your

father. They said unto him, We were not born 42 of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent 43 me. Why do ye not understand my speech? Even be44 cause ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a 45 liar, and the father thereof. But because I say the 46 truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me 47 of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? He

that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause 48 ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou 49 art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I

have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dis. 50 honour me. But I seek not mine own glory: there is one 51 that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto

you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. 52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of 53 death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom 54 makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth 55 me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I 56 know him, and keep his word. Your father Abraham

rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 57 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet 58 fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus

said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before 59 Abraham was, I am. They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his 2 birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he should 8 be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should 4 be made manifest in him. We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, 5 when no man can work. When I am in the world, I 6 am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, 7 and anointed his eyes with the clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and 8 came seeing. The neighbours therefore, and they which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not 9 this he that sat and begged? Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine 11 eyes opened? He answered, The man that is called

Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and 12 washed, and I received sight. And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

13

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was 14 blind. Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus

15 made the clay, and opened his eyes. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, 16 and I washed, and do see. Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a 17 division among them. They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he 18 opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, 19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say 20 was born blind? how then doth he now see? His parents

answered and said, We know that this is our son, and 21 that he was born blind: but how he now seeth, we

know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask 22 him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself. These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews. for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the 23 synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; 24 ask him. So they called a second time the man that

was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we 25 know that this man is a sinner. He therefore answered,

Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, 26 that, whereas I was blind, now I see. They said there

fore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he 27 thine eyes? He answered them, I told you even now,

and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? 28 would ye also become his disciples? And they reviled

him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are dis29 ciples of Moses. We know that God hath spoken unto

Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is

the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he 31 opened mine eyes. We know that God heareth not

sinners but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do 32 his will, him he heareth. Since the world began it was

never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born 33 blind. If this man were not from God, he could do 34 nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I 37 may believe on him? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast

both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped 39 him. And Jesus said, For judgement came I into this

world, that they which see not may see; and that they 40 which see may become blind. Those of the Pharisees which were with him heard these things, and said unto 41 him, Are we also blind? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up 2 some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the 3 sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and 4 leadeth them out. When he hath put forth all his own, be goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for 5 they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the 6 voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, 8 I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep 9 did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any

man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and 10 go out, and shall find pasture. The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth 12 down his life for the sheep. He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them: 13 he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the 14 sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know mine 15 own, and mine own know me, even as the Father

knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down 16 my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, 17 one shepherd. Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of

19

myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.

There arose a division again among the Jews because of 20 these words. And many of them said, He hath a devil, 21 and is mad; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

22

And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: 23 it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in 24 Solomon's porch. The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear 26 witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not 27 of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know 28 them, and they follow me: and I give unto them

eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one 29 shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, which

hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no 30 one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I 31 and the Father are one. The Jews took up stones again 32 to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works

have I shewed you from the Father; for which of those 33 works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I 35 said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom

the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be 36 broken), say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and

sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, 37 I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my 38 Father, believe me not. But if I do them, though ye

believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the 39 Father. They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.

40 And he went away again beyond Jordan into the

place where John was at the first baptizing; and there 41 he abode. And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever 42 John spake of this man were true. And many believed on him there.

11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of 2 the village of Mary and her sister Martha. And it was
