taken in adul Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such : what then sayest thou of her? (6 And this they said, 'tempting him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the 7 ground. But when they continued asking him, he lifted' up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a 8 stone at her. And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on (9 the ground. And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the 10 midst. And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn1 (11 thee? "And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]

12) Again 'therefore' Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have 13 the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest wit ness of thyself; thy witness is not (14 true. Jesus answered and said unto them, 'Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, lor 15 whither I go. Ye judge after the 16 flesh; I judge no man. DIYea and if

I judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father 17) that sent me. Yea and in your law

it is written, that the witness of two 18 men is true. I am hel that 'beareth'

witness of myself, and the Father that 19) sent me beareth witness of me. They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye 'knew me, ye would know my Father 20 also. These words spake 'he' in the

21

treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; 'because his hour was not yet come.

He said therefore again unto them, I go away', and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your 'sin': whither I go, 22) ye cannot come. The Jews thereforel said, Will he kill himself, that' he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot 23 come? And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this *24 world. I said therefore unto you,' that ye shall die in your sins: for lexcept ye believe that 21 am he, ye shall *(25) die in your sins. They said thereforel unto him, Who art thou? Jesus Isaid unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the *(26) beginning. I have many things to Ispeak' and to judge 'concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard 'from him, these speak I unto the world. 27 They perceived not that he spake *(28) to them of the Father. Jesus 'there

fore! 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 29 me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the 30 things that are pleasing to him. As he spake these 'things', many believed on him.

(31) Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye labidel in my word, then are ye truly my dis32 ciples; and ye shall know the truth,

and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered unto him, We be Abraham's seed, and 'have never lyet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily,

I say unto you, 'Every one that committeth sin is the 'bondservant of sin. (35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth

36) for ever. "If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 °I know that ye are Abraham's seed;

lyet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you. 38 I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from 39) 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 Junto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even 42 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 43 myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? Even * 44 because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will Ito 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 liar, and the 45 father thereof. But because I Isay the truth, ye believe me not. (46 °Which of you 'convicteth' me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe 47 me? He that is of God heareth 'the' words of God: for this causel ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. (48) The Jews answered and said unto him,

Say we not well that thou art a Samar(49 itan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour 50 me. But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never *(52) see death. 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
Iword', he shall never taste of death.

* 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou 54 thyself? Jesus answered, If I 'glorify! myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth' me; of whom 55) ye say, that he is your God; land' 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; 57) and he saw it, and was glad. The Jews Itherefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen *58 Abraham? Jesus said unto them,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before (59) Abraham 10 was, I am. They took up stones 'therefore to cast at him: but Jesus 11hid himself, and went out of the temple12.

9(1 And as he passed by, he saw a man 2 blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi', who did sin, this man, or his parents, that 3 he should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither 'did' this man 'sin', nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest 4 in him. We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can 5 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, and anointed his eyes with the 7 clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away! therefore, and washed, and came see8 ing. The neighbours therefore, and they which saw him 'aforetime', that he was a beggar', said, Is not this he (9 that sat and begged? Others' said,

It is he others said, 'No, but he is 10) like him. He said, I am he. They

said therefore unto him, How then! (11 were thine eyes opened? He answered, 'The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes,

10 Gr. was born.

11 Or, Iwas hidden\, and went &c. 12 Many ancient authorities add and going through the midst of them went his way, and so passed by. 13 Or, and with the clay thereof\ anointed his eyes

5 Or, knowl

and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash so I went away and washed, 12) and I received sight. And they said unto him, Where is he? He 'saith', I know not.

13 They bring to the Pharisees him 14 that aforetime was blind. Now it was the sabbath 'on the' day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his (15 eyes. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I 16) 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 Isigns!? And there was a division (17 among them. They say therefore!

unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, 'in' that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a 18 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 (19 him that had received his sight, and

asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then (20 doth he now see? His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind : (21) but 'how' he now seeth, we know not;

or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak 22 for himself. These things said1 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 par24) ents, He is of age; ask him. So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that (25 this man is a sinner. He therefore' answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (26) °They said 'therefore unto him, What

did he to thee? how opened he thine 21 eyes? He answered them, I told you leven now, and ye did not hear: wherefore would 'yel hear it again? 'would' ye also 'become his disciples?

1 Many ancient authorities read the Son of man.

28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are dis(29 ciples of Moses! "We know that God hath spoken' unto Moses: but as for this 'man', we know not whence (30 he is. The man answered and said. unto them, Why, herein is 'the marvel', that ye know not whence he is, and (31 yet he opened mine eyes. We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and 32) do his will, him he heareth. Since the world began it was 'never heard that any lone opened the eyes of la 33 man born blind. If this man were

not 'from God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

seen him, and he it is that 'speaketh' 38 with thee. And he said, Lord, I be39 lieve. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgement 'came' I into this world, that they which see not Imay see; and that they which see 40) may become blind. Those of the

Pharisees which were with him heard these 'things', and said unto him, Are (41 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.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the Ifold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief 2 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, (4 and leadeth them out. "When he

'hath put forth 'all' his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow 5 him for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not 6 the voice of strangers. This 3parable spake Jesus unto them: but they 2 Or, lal shepherd 3 Or, Iproverb

7) Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am (8 the door of the sheep. All that came before me are thieves and robbers: 9 but the sheep did not hear them. am the door by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. (10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I Icame that they may have life, and 11 may have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd Пlayeth down his life for the sheep (12 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 Isnatcheth them, and scattereth 'them': 13 he fleeth because he is a hireling, 14 and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know Imine own', and 'mine own know mel, 15) even as the Father knoweth me, 'and' I know the Father; and I lay down my 16 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', one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I (18) may take it again. No lonel 'taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.

(19

There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words. 20 And many of them said, He hath a "devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21 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 dedica23 tion at Jerusalem: it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in 24) Solomon's porch. The Jews thereforel came round about him, and said

unto him, How long dost thou hold! us in suspensel ? If thou art! the 25 Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye 'believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, 'these bear witness of (26 me. But ye believe not, because ye 27 are not of my sheep. My sheep hear

my voice, and I know them, and they 28 follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch 29 them out of my hand. 98 My Father, which hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no 'one' is able to snatch them out of the Father's 30 hand. I and the Father are one. (31 The Jews took up stones again to 32 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, 34 makest thyself God. 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 10sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I 37 said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe 38 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 John spake of this man were 42 true. And many believed on him

there.

11 (1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of

2 Mary and her sister Martha. And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz3) arus was sick. The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 But when Jesus heard 'it', he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of 5 God may be glorified thereby. Now

Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, (6) and Lazarus. "When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place 7) where he was. Then after 'this' he saith to the disciples, Let us go 8 into Judæa again. The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and 9 goest thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth 10) the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. 11 These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep'; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12) The disciples therefore' said unto him', Lord, if he is fallen asleep', he (13) will recover'. Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. 14) Then Jesus therefore said unto them 15 plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am

glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 16) Thomas therefore, who is called 2Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four 18 days already. Now Bethany was

nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen fur19 longs off; and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. 20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met

him: but Mary still sat in the house. 21) Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my (22) brother had not died. And even now I know that, whatsoever thou Ishalt ask of God, God will give thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother 24 shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he 'die', yet 26 shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth 'on' me shall never die. 27 Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, leven he that cometh into the world. (28 And when she had said 'this', she

went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is 29) 'here1, and calleth thee. And she,

when she heard it', arose quickly, 30 and went unto him. (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village', but was still in the place where 31 Martha met him.) The Jews then which were with her in the house, and Iwere comforting her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going! unto the tomb 32) to weep there. "Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 °When Jesus therefore saw her weep

ing, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the 34 spirit, and was troubled, and said,

Where have ye laid him? They say 35 unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus 36) wept. The Jews therefore said, 37 Behold how he loved him! But

some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this 38 man also should not 'diel? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay 10 against it. 39 Jesus saith', Take ye away the stone.
