the blind man, and said unto him; 'Go, wash in the pool ' of the Siloam,' which is translated, Sent. Then he went, and washed, and came seeing. Then the neighbours and they that saw him before (for he was a beggar) said; 'Is 'not this he that sat and begged?' Some said; 'This is 'he;' but others said; 'He is like him.' He said; ‘I am 'he.' Then said they unto him; 'How were thine eyes 10 'opened?' He answered and said, ' A man called Jesus 11 'made clay, and smeared mine eyes, and said unto me; 'Go to the Siloam and wash; and I went and washed, ' and received sight.' Then said they unto him; 'Where 12 'is he?' He saith; I know not.'

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was 13 blind. And it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay 14 and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked 15. him how he had received his sight. And he said unto them; He put clay upon mine eyes; and I washed, and do see.' Then said some of the Pharisees; 'This man 16 'is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath.' Others said; 'How can a sinful man do such signs?' And there was a division among them. They say unto 17 the blind man again; 'What sayest thou of him, that he opened thine eyes?' And he said; 'He is a prophet.' But the Jews did not believe of him, that he was blind 18 and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. And they asked them, 19 saying; 'Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?' His parents answered 20 them and said; 'We know that this is our son, and that 'he was born blind; but how he now seeth, we know not; 21 or who opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age, ask 'him; he will speak for himself.' This his parents said, 22 because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one acknowledged him for Christ he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his 23 parents; He is of age; ask him.'

Then a second time called they the man that was blind, 24 and said unto him; 'Give glory to God; we know that 'this man is a sinner.' Then he answered and said; 25 'Whether he be a sinner, I know not; one thing I know, 'that whereas I was blind, now I see.' And they said 26 unto him again; 'What did he to thee? how opened he

29

27 'thine eyes?' He answered them; 'I told you just now, ' and ye did not hear? why would ye hear it again? will 28 'ye also become his disciples?' They reviled him, and said; ‘Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spake unto Moses; but this man, we 30 'know not whence he is.' The man answered and said unto them; 'Why, herein is a marvel, that ye know not 31 'whence he is, and he opened my eyes. Now we know 'that God heareth not sinners; but if any one be a wor'shipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began it was not heard that any one 33 'opened the eyes of one born blind. If this man were 34 'not of God, he could do nothing.' They answered and

said unto him; 'Thou wast altogether born in sins, and 35 'dost thou teach us?' And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they cast him out, and he found him, and said 36 unto him; 'Dost thou believe on the son of God?' He answered and said; And who is he, Lord, that I may 37 believe on him?' And Jesus said unto him; Thou 'hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh to thee.' 38 And he said; 'Lord, I believe.' And he worshipped 39 him. And Jesus said; 'For judgment I am come into 'this world, that they that see not may see; and they 40 'that see may be made blind.' And some of the Pharisees

who were with him heard these things, and said unto him; 41 'Are we also blind?' Jesus said unto them; 'If ye were 'blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say; We see; 1 'therefore your sin remaineth. Verily verily I say unto 'you, he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, 'but climbeth up some other way, he is a thief and a 2 'robber. But he that entereth by the door is the shep3 herd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth, and the 'sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by 4 'name, and Teadeth them out. And when he putteth forth 'his own sheep, he goeth before them; and the sheep 'follow him, for they know his voice. And a stranger 'will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they 6 'know not the voice of strangers.' This parable spake Jesus unto them; but they understood not what things 7 they were that he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again; 'Verily verily I say unto you, I am the door 8 'of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves

' and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. 'the door; if any one enter by me, he will be saved, and 'will go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh 10 'not but to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I am come that 'they may have life, and may have abundance. I am 'the good shepherd; the good shepherd layeth down his 'life for the sheep. But the hireling, who is not the 12 '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. The 13 'hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling and careth not 'for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know 14 'mine own, and am known by mine, as the Father 15 'knoweth me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep, that 16 are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they 'will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, and one 'shepherd. For this the Father loveth me, because I 17 'lay down my life that I may take it again. No one 18 '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 command have I received of my Father.' Then 19 there was a division again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said; 'He hath a demon, 20 ' and is mad; why hear ye him?' Others said; "These 21 are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?'

And it was the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem, and 22 it was winter. And Jesus was walking in the temple, 23 in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round him, 24 and said unto him; 'How long dost thou make us doubt? 'if thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.' Jesus answered 25 them; 'I told you, and ye believe not. The works that 'I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 'But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. As 26 'I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know 27 'them, and they follow me; and I give unto them everlasting life, and they will not perish till the end of the 'world, nor will any one pluck them out of my hand. 'My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; 29 and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand. 'I and my Father are one.' Then the Jews took up 30 31

28

32 stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them ; ' Many 'good works have I showed you from my Father; for 33 'which of those works do ye stone me?' The Jews answered him, saying; ‘For a good work we stone thee 'not, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man 34 'makest thyself a god.' Jesus answered them; 'Is it 35 'not written in your law; I said, ye are gods? If it 'called them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and 36 the scripture cannot be broken,) say ye of him whom 'the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world; "Thou blasphemest; because I said; I am a 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 know and believe that the Father 39 is in me, and I in him.' Then they again sought to take him; but he escaped out of their hand.

40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41 And many came unto him, and said; 'John indeed 'wrought no sign, but whatever John spake of this man was true.' And many believed on him there.

Now there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, 2 from the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was Mary that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3 Therefore the sisters sent unto him, saying; 'Lord, 4 'behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.' When Jesus heard, he said; 'This sickness is not unto death, but for 'the glory of God, that the son of God may be glorified 5 'thereby.' Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and 6 Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he 7 abode yet two days in the place where he was. Then

after that saith he to the disciples; 'Let us go into Judea 8 'again.' The disciples say unto him; 'Rabbi, the Jews 'now sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither 9 'again?' Jesus answered; 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he stumbleth 10 'not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if 'any one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the 11 'light is not on him.' This he said; and after that he saith unto them; Our friend Lazarus is at rest; but I 12 go, that I may awake him.' Then said his disciples;

6

'Lord, if he rest he will do well.' But Jesus spake of 13 his death; and they thought that he spake of the rest of sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly; 'Lazarus 14 ‘is dead; and I am glad for your sakes that I was not 15 'there, so that ye may believe; but let us go unto him.' Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, unto his 16 fellow-disciples; 'Let us also go, that we may die with

'him.'

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had been in 17 the tomb four days already. Now Bethany was nigh to 18 Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off. And many of the 19 Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them for their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus 20 was coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus; 'Lord, if thou hadst been 21 ‘here, my brother had not died. But even now I know 22 ' that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.' Jesus saith unto her; Thy brother shall arise again.' 23 Martha saith unto him; 'I know that he will arise again 24 ' in the resurrection at the last day.' Jesus said unto her; 25 'I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth 'on me, though he were dead, will live. And whoever 26 'liveth and believeth on me will not die till the end of the 'world. Believest thou this?' She saith unto him; 27 'Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the 'son of God, he that was to come into the world.' And 28 when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying; "The Teacher is come, and calleth thee.' She, when she heard, arose quickly, and came unto him. 29 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was in 30 the place where Martha met him. The Jews then who 31 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 to the tomb to weep 'there.' Then when Mary came where Jesus was, and 32 saw him, she fell at his feet, saying unto him; 'Lord, if 'thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.' When 33 Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews that came with her weeping, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled, and said; 'Where have ye laid him?' They say 34 unto him; Lord, come and see.' Jesus wept. Then 35 36 said the Jews; 'Behold, how he loved him!' And some 37
