that, whereas I was blind, I

now see:

26 they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

27 he answered them, I have told you already, and ye hearkened not: why then do ye wish to hear again? will ye also be his disciples?

28 and they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples:

29 we know that God spake to Moses; but as for this man, we know not from whence he is:

30 the man answered and said to them, Truly, in this is something marvellous; that ye know not from whence he is, although he hath opened my eyes:

31 we know that God heareth not sinners; but, if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth:

32 since the world began it hath not been heard, that any one hath opened the eyes of one born blind :

33 if this man were not from God, he could not do any thing:

34 they answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether begotten in sins, and dost thou teach us? and they cast him

out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he

had found him, he said to him, Believest thou on the Son of God?

36 he answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

37 Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he who talketh with thee, is he : 38 and he said, Lord, I believe! and he worshipped him : 39 and Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see, and that they who see, may be

made blind:

4 and when he hath put out all his own, he goeth before them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his

voice:

5 but a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This parable Jesus spake to them; but they understood not what the words were which he spake to them:

7 then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I tell you, I am the Door of the sheep: 8 all who come before me, out: enter not. the Door, are thieves and robbers; but the sheep hearken not to them: I am the Door:

come before, i. e. keep with

See Rev. xxii.

14, 15.

v. 1.

9 if any one enter through me, he will be saved; and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture:

10 the thief cometh only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come, that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly.

11 I am the Good Shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep;

12 but, he that is an hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep and fleeth, and the wolf seizeth and scattereth them,

13 because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the Good Shepherd; and I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knoweth me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep:

15 and other sheep I have, The Gentiles. which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hearken to my voice; and they shall be One Flock, and One Shepherd.

16 Therefore my Father loveth me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again :

17 no one taketh 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 charge I have received from my Father.

18 There was again a division among the Jews, on account of these words:

19 and many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken ye to him?

20 others said, These are not the words of one that hath a devil: can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

21 It was then the feast of the dedication, in Jerusalem: it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch:

22 then the Jews gathered round him, and said to him, How long keepest thou our soul in suspense? tell us

plainly, whether thou art the Christ?

23 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed me not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear testimony of me:

24 but ye believe me not, because ye are not of my sheep. 25 My sheep hearken to my voice; and I know them, and they follow me:

26 and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any one pluck them out of my hand: 27 my Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand:

28 I and my Father are One. 29 Then the Jews again took stones to stone him:

up

30 Jesus answered them, I have shewed you many good works from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

31 the Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; even because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God:

32 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, "I

Ps. lxxxii. 6. "said, Ye are gods?"

33 if he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be broken ;)

34 say ye of him, whom the

Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, that I am the Son of God?

35 if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not: 36 but, if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

37 Therefore they again sought to seize him, but he went forth from their hand;

38 and went again, beyond Jordan, to the place where John c.i. 28. at first baptized, and abode there; and many came to him:

39 and they said, John indeed did no miracle; but all the things that John spake of this man, were true and many believed on him there.

said, This illness 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 ill, he remained two days in the place where he was:

7 then, after that, he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea :

8 his disciples say to him, Master, the Jews but now 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 stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world; 10 but, if any one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

11 These words he spake: and after that, he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I am going, that I may awake him out of that sleep:

12 then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well:

13 but Jesus spake of his death; though they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep:

14 then said Jesus to them, openly, 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 then said Thomas (who is called Didumus) to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17 When Jesus, therefore, came, he found that he had been already four days in the grave.

18 Now, Bethany was about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem :

19 and many of the Jews. came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary was sitting in the house : 21 then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died!

22 yet I know, that even now, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee:

23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother will rise again :

24 Martha saith 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 who believeth in me, will live, though he be dead:

26 and every one who liveth, and believeth in me, will never die; believest thou this?

27 she saith to him, Yea,

the

the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into world.

28 And when she had so said, she went away, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee:

29 as soon as she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

30 Now, Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was still at the place where Martha had met him :

31 the Jews then, that were with her in the house and were comforting her, seeing Mary rise up quickly and go out, followed her; thinking that she was going to the grave, to weep there.

32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet; saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died!

33 when therefore Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was moved;

34 and said, Where have ye laid him? they said to him, Lord, Come and see.

35 Jesus wept :

36 then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37 but some of them said,

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone: Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time he is become offensive; for this is the fourth day:

40 Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41 then they took away the stone and Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me :

42 and I know that thou always hearest me; but, for the sake of the multitude who stand around I said this, that they may believe that thou hast

sent me:

43 and when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!

44 and he who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound round with a napkin: Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.

45 Then, many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him;
