1  And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee; for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

1  AFTER these things Jesus travelled in Galilee; for he did not wish to travel in Judaea, because the Jews wanted to kill him.

2  Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

2  Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.

3  His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see the works that You do.

3  And his brothers said to him: “Move away from here and go into Judea, so that your disciples there may also see your works that you do.

4  For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."

4  Of course, no one does anything in secret, but he himself seeks to be in the public view. Since you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.”

4  For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

5  For not even His brothers believed in Him.

6  Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

6  Therefore, Jesus said to them: “My time has not yet come; but your time is always at hand.

7  The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

8  You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled."

8  Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.

9  When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

9  And having said these things unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.

9  He said these things, and remained in Galilee.

10  But when His brothers had gone up, then also He Himself went up to the feast, not openly, but as [it were] in secret.

10  But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret.

11  Then the Jews were seeking Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"

11  The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

11  Therefore, the Jews were seeking him on the feast day, and they were saying, “Where is he?”

12  And there was much murmuring among the crowds concerning Him. Some on the one hand were saying, "He is a good [Man]"; [while ]others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."

12  And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

12  And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning him. For certain ones were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, for he seduces the crowds.”

13  However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

13  Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

13  But no man spoke openly about him, because of the fear of the Jews.

14  But now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.

14  But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

14  Then, about the middle of the feast, Jesus ascended into the temple, and he was teaching.

15  And the Jews were marveling, saying, "How is this Man learned, since He has not been educated?"

15  The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

15  And the Jews wondered, saying: “How does this one know letters, though he has not been taught?”

16  Therefore Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

16  Jesus responded to them and said: “My doctrine is not of me, but of him who sent me.

16  Jesus answered and said, My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

17  If anyone desires to do His will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking on My own authority.

17  If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.

17  He who wills to do his will, he will understand if my teaching is from God, or if I am just speaking of my own accord.

18  He who speaks from himself is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

18  He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19  Has not Moses given you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why are you seeking to kill Me?"

19  Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one among you keeps the law!

20  The crowd answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"

20  The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

20  Why are you seeking to kill me?” The crowd responded and said: “You must have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?”

21  Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and [you] all marvel.

22  Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on [the] Sabbath.

23  If a man receives circumcision on [the] Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on [the] Sabbath?

23  So if a man is circumcised on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; yet you murmur at me, because I healed a whole man on the sabbath day?

24  Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

24  Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

24  Do not judge by partiality, but judge a just judgment.

25  Therefore some of people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?

25  Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

25  Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying, Is not this the man whom they want to kill?

26  And look! He is speaking publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Can it be that the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

26  And yet he speaks openly, but they say nothing to him. Perhaps our elders have found out that he is the Christ?

27  However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."

27  Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.

27  But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from.”

28  Therefore Jesus cried out, as He was teaching in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

28  Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

28  Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

29  I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."

29  But I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.

30  Therefore they were seeking to arrest Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

30  So they wanted to seize him; and no man laid hands on him, because his time had not yet come.

30  Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

31  But many of the crowd believed in Him, and were saying, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this [Man] did?"

32  The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent attendants so that they might arrest Him.

32  The Pharisees heard the people talking about him; so they and the high priests sent soldiers to arrest him.

33  Then Jesus said, "Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go to Him who sent Me.

33  Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.

33  And Jesus said, I am with you just a short while, and I am going to him who sent me.

34  You will seek Me and you will not find [Me], and where I am you cannot come."

34  Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come.

35  Therefore the Jews said among themselves, "Where does this [man] intend to go that we will not find Him? Does He intend to go into the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

35  And so the Jews said among themselves: “Where is this place to which he will go, such that we will not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?

35  Then the Jews said among themselves, Where is he going, that we cannot find him? why, is he planning to go to the countries of the Gentiles, to teach the pagans?

36  What is this thing which He said, 'You will seek Me and you will not find [Me], and where I am you cannot come'?"

36  What does this word mean which he said, You will seek me and you will not find me; and where I am you cannot come?

36  What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

37  Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

38  He that believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water."

38  whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, ‘From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”

39  (But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

39  But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

39  Now he said this about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would soon be receiving. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40  Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."

40  [Some] of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.

40  Many of the people who heard his words were saying, This man truly is a prophet.

41  Others said, "This is the Christ."Others said, "But the Christ is not coming out of Galilee, [is He]?

41  Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee?

42  Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?"

42  Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

42  Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?”

43  Therefore a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.

43  So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

44  Now some of them wished to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

44  And there were some men among them, who wanted to seize him; but no man laid hands on him.

45  Then the attendants came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"

45  Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?”

46  The attendants answered them, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"

46  The officers answered, Never man so spake.

46  The soldiers said to them, Never a man has spoken as this man speaks.

47  Then the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?

47  The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?

47  And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?

48  Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?

48  Why, have any of the leaders or of the Pharisees believed in him,

49  But this crowd which does not know the law is accursed."

49  But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

49  Except this cursed people, who do not know the law?

50  Nicodemus (he who came to Him by night, being one of them) said to them,

50  Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,

51  Does our law judge a man before it hears from him first, and knows what he is doing?"

51  Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

51  “Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?”

52  They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and see, because no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

53  And everyone went to his own house.

8:1  But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

1  THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

8:2  And early in the morning, He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and having sat down, He began to teach them.

8:3  Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been caught in adultery, and having stood her in [the] midst,

3  And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

3  Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.

8:4  they said to Him, "Teacher, we found this [woman ]committing adultery, in the very act.

4  they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

4  And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.

8:5  Now Moses, in our law, commanded to cast stones at such. Therefore what do You say?"

5  And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”

5  Now in the law of Moses it is commanded that women such as these should be stoned; but what do you say?

8:6  But this they said, testing Him, that they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to write on the ground with His finger, not taking notice.

6  And this they said, trying him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

8:7  And while they were continuing questioning Him, rising up, He said unto them, "He who is without sin among you, let him [be the ]first to cast a stone at her."

7  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 stone at her.

8:8  And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

8  And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.

8:9  And those who heard [it] began to go out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman being in the midst.

9  But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.

8:10  And standing up and seeing no one but the woman, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"

10  And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

10  When Jesus straightened himself up, he said to the woman, Where are they?

8:11  She said, "No one, Lord."And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."

11  And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

11  did no henceforth, do not sin again.

8:12  Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

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 the light of life.

12  Again Jesus spoke to them and said, I am the light of the world; he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but he shall find for himself the light of life.

8:13  Therefore the Pharisees said to Him, "You testify about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid."

13  The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

8:14  Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I should testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

14  Jesus responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.

14  Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

8:15  You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

15  Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

8:16  But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

16  Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

16  And if I should judge, my judgment is true; because I am not doing it alone, but I and my Father who sent me.

8:17  It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.

17  Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

17  And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

8:18  I am the [One] testifying about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."

18  I testify concerning myself, and my Father who sent me testifies concerning me.

8:19  Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?"Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would also know My Father."

19  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 also.

8:20  These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, for His time had not yet come.

8:21  Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."

21  He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

21  Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”

8:22  So the Jews said, "[Surely ]He will not kill Himself, [will He,] since He says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?"

22  The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

22  And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’ ”

8:23  And He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

8:24  Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."

24  I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

24  I told you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.

8:25  Then they said to Him, "Who are You?"And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you [from] the beginning.

25  And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.

25  The Jews said, Who are you? Jesus said to them, Even though I should begin to speak to you,

8:26  I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the[ ]things which I heard from Him, these things I say to the world."

26  I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”

8:27  They did not know that He was speaking to them [about] the Father.

27  They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

27  And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.

8:28  Therefore Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and from Myself I do nothing; but just as My Father taught Me, these things I speak.

8:29  And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him."

8:30  While He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

30  As he spake these things, many believed on him.

8:31  Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, truly you are My disciples.

31  Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;

31  Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples.

8:32  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."

8:33  They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How [can] you say, 'You will become free'?"

33  They answered unto him, We are Abraham`s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

33  They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set free?’ ”

8:34  Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I say to you, that everyone that practices sin is a slave of sin.

34  Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is a servant of sin.

8:35  And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

35  And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

35  Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity.

8:36  Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.

36  If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

8:37  "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word finds no place in you.

37  I know that ye are Abraham`s seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

37  I know you are the seed of Abraham; but still you want to kill me, because you have no room in you for my word.

8:38  I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."

38  I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.

8:39  They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father."Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

39  They responded and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then do the works of Abraham.

8:40  But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken to you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

40  But behold, now you want to kill me, even a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

8:41  You do the works of your father."Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father-God."

41  But you do the works of your father. They said to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.

8:42  Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would have loved Me, for I came forth and have come from God; nor have I come from Myself, but He sent Me.

42  Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.

42  Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came from God; I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

8:43  Why do you not understand what I say? Because you are unable to hear My word.

43  Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.

43  Why therefore do you not understand my word? Because you cannot obey my word?

8:44  You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own [resources], for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

44  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 standeth 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 father thereof.

8:45  But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

45  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

8:46  Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

46  Which one of you can rebuke me because of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

8:47  He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear [them], because you are not of God."

47  He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

47  Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: because you are not of God.”

8:48  Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say well that You are a Samaritan, and You have a demon?"

48  Therefore, the Jews responded and said to him, “Are we not correct in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you have a demon?”

48  The Jews answered and said to him, Did we not say well, that you are a Samaritan, and that you are crazy?

8:49  Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

49  Jesus responded: “I do not have a demon. But I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me.

49  Jesus said to them, I am not crazy; but I honor my Father, and you curse me.

8:50  And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks it and who judges.

50  But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

50  I do not seek my glory; there is one who seeks and judges.

8:51  Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall by no means experience death."

51  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

8:52  Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall by no means taste death.'

52  The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

52  Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’

8:53  "Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? Also the prophets died. Whom do You make Yourself [out to be]?"

53  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

8:54  Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is our God.

54  Jesus said to them, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing; but it is my Father who honors me, the one of whom you say, He is our God.

8:55  And yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I would say that I do not know Him, I would be like you, a liar; but I do know Him, and I keep His word.

55  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 know him, and keep his word.

8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced that he should see My day, and he saw it and he was glad."

56  Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad.”

8:57  Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

57  And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have seen Abraham?”

57  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

8:58  Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

8:59  Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, having gone through their midst, and so passed by.

59  They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

59  So they took up stones, to stone him; and Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, and he passed through the midst of them, and went away.

9:1  And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth.

1  And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

1  AND as Jesus passed by he saw a man who was blind from his motherÆs womb.

9:2  And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

9:3  Jesus answered, "Neither this [man] nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God should be manifest in him.

3  Jesus said to them, Neither did he sin nor his parents. But that the works of God might be seen in him,

9:4  I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

4  We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

9:5  While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

9:6  Having said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay from the saliva; and He applied the clay on the eyes of the blind [man].

6  When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and he made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay over his eyes.

6  When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

9:7  And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam"(which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

7  and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

7  Then he said to him, Go and wash in the baptismal pool of Siloam. He went and washed, and he came seeing.

9:8  Therefore the neighbors and those who previously saw him, that he was blind, were saying, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

8  And so the bystanders and those who had seen him before, when he was a beggar, said, “Is this not the one who was sitting and begging?” Some said, “This is he.”

8  His neighbors and those who had seen him before begging, said, Is not this he who used to sit down and beg?

9:9  Some said, "This is he."Others said, "He looks like him."He kept saying, "I am [he]."

9  But others said, “Certainly not, but he is similar to him.” Yet truly, he himself said, “I am he.”

9:10  Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

10  They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

9:11  He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' When I had gone and washed, I received [my ]sight."

9:12  Then they said to him, "Where is He?"He said, "I do not know."

12  And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

9:13  They brought him who was once blind to the Pharisees.

13  They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

13  So they brought to the Pharisees him who had been blind from his birth.

9:14  Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

14  And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

9:15  Then again the Pharisees were asking him how he received [his] sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

15  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 washed, and I see.

15  Again the Pharisees asked him, How did you receive your sight? He said to them, He placed clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

9:16  Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath."Others said, "How can a sinful man do such signs?"And there was a division among them.

16  And so certain Pharisees said: “This man, who does not keep the Sabbath, is not from God.” But others said, “How could a sinful man accomplish these signs?” And there was a schism among them.

16  Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not observe the sabbath; others said, How can a man who is a sinner do these miracles? And there was a division among them.

9:17  They said to the blind [man] again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?"He said, "He is a prophet."

17  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 prophet.

17  Therefore, they spoke again to the blind man, “What do you say about him who opened your eyes?” Then he said, “He is a Prophet.”

9:18  But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and received [his] sight, until they called the parents of him who had received [his] sight.

18  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,

18  Therefore, the Jews did not believe, about him, that he had been blind and had seen, until they called the parents of him who had seen.

9:19  And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

19  And they questioned them, saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?”

9:20  And his parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

20  His parents responded to them and said: “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

9:21  but how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself."

21  But how it is that he now sees, we do not know. And who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough. Let him speak for himself.”

21  But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

9:22  These things[ ]his parents said because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone should confess that He was Christ, he would be excommunicated.

22  His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already conspired, so that if anyone were to confess him to be the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.

22  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.

9:23  On account of this his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

23  Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

23  It was for this reason that his parents said: “He is old enough. Ask him.”

9:24  Therefore they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this Man is a sinner."

24  So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

24  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.

9:25  He answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One [thing] I do know: that although I was blind, now I see."

25  He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

25  And so he said to them: “If he is a sinner, I do not know it. One thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I see.”

9:26  Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"

26  They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

9:27  He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear [it] again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"

27  He said to them, I have already told you, and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? why, do you also want to become his disciples?

27  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?

9:28  [Then] they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

28  Therefore, they cursed him and said: “You be his disciple. But we are disciples of Moses.

9:29  We know that God has spoken to Moses; but [as for ]this [Man], we do not know where He is from."

9:30  The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a remarkable thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!

9:31  Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

31  We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

9:32  Since eternity past it was unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of [one] having been born blind.

32  From ages it has never been heard that a man opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

9:33  If this [Man] were not from God, He could do nothing."

33  Unless this man were of God, he would not be able to do any such thing.”

9:34  They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and do you teach us?"And they cast him out.

9:35  Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and having found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

9:36  He answered and said, "And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"

36  He who was healed answered and said, Who is he, my Lord, so that I may believe in him?

9:37  And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is speaking with you."

37  Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.

9:38  Then he said, "Lord, I believe!"And he worshipped Him.

38  And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

38  He said, I do believe, my Lord; and he fell down and worshipped him.

9:39  And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see might become blind."

39  Then Jesus said to him, I have come for the judgment of this world, so that those who cannot see may see, and those who see may become blind.

9:40  Then [some] of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?"

40  And certain Pharisees, who were with him, heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also blind?”

9:41  Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.

10:1  "Most assuredly I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold through the door, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

1  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

1  TRULY, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from another place, is a thief and a bandit.

10:2  But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

10:3  To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and he leads them out.

10:4  And whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

4  When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

10:5  But they will by no means follow a stranger, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

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

5  But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

10:6  This illustration Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

6  This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

6  Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

10:7  Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

7  Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

7  Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.

10:8  All who came [before Me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

8  All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.

10:9  I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

10:10  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

10  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.

10  A thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly.

10:11  I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

10:12  But a hired hand, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

10:13  But the hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and is not concerned about the sheep.

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

10:14  I am the good shepherd; and I know My [own], and I am known by My own.

10:15  Just as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

15  even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

10:16  And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

16  And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.

10:17  Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it [up ]again.

17  For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.

17  This is why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.

10:18  No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it [up ]again. This command I have received from My Father."

18  No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”

18  No man takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own will. Therefore I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.

10:19  Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

19  A dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.

19  There was again a division among the Jews because of these sayings.

10:20  And many of them said, "He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to Him?"

20  Then many of them were saying: “He has a demon or he is insane. Why do you listen him?”

10:21  Others said, "These are not the words of [one] being demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

21  Others were saying: “These are not the words of someone who has a demon. How would a demon be able to open the eyes of the blind?”

21  Others said, These are not the words of a crazy man. Why, can a crazy man open the eyes of the blind?

10:22  Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

22  And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem

22  Then came the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

10:23  And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's Porch.

23  it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon`s porch.

10:24  Then the Jews encircled Him and said to Him, "How long will You hold us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

24  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.

24  And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: “How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

10:25  Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, these things testify about Me.

10:26  But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, just as I said to you.

26  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

10:27  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

10:28  And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

10:29  My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of My Father's hand.

29  What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.

29  For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all; and no man can snatch anything from my FatherÆs hand.

10:30  I and the Father are one."

30  I and my Father are one in accord.

10:31  Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

10:32  Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?"

10:33  The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God."

33  The Jews said to him, It is not because of the good works we stone you, but because you blaspheme; for while you are only a man, you make yourself God.

10:34  Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?

34  Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’

10:35  If He called those gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

10:36  do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

36  why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’

10:37  If I am not doing the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

10:38  but if I am doing [them], even if you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."

38  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 Father.

10:39  Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.

39  They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.

39  And they wanted again to seize him; but he escaped from their hands.

10:40  And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He stayed there.

10:41  And many came to Him and said, "John indeed performed no sign, but everything which John said about this [Man] was true."

41  And many went out to him. And they were saying: “Indeed, John accomplished no signs.

10:42  And many believed in Him there.

42  But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true.” And many believed in him.

11:1  Now there was a certain man who was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

1  Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

11:2  Now it was that Mary who had anointed YHWH with myrrh, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

2  This is the Mary who anointed the feet of Jesus with perfume and wiped them with her hair. Lazarus who was sick, was her brother.

11:3  Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, [he] whom You love is sick."

3  His two sisters therefore sent to Jesus, saying, Our Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.

11:4  And 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 through it."

11:5  Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

11:6  Therefore when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed in the place where He was [for ]two days.

6  When he heard he was sick, he remained two days in the place where he was.

11:7  Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."

7  Then, after these things, he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”

7  After that he said to his disciples, Come, let us go again to Judaea.

11:8  The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, [just] now the Jews were seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?"

8  His disciples said to him, Teacher, not long ago the Jews wanted to stone you, and yet are you going there again?

8  His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

11:9  Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

11:10  But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

10  But if a man travels at night time, he will stumble, because there is no light in it.

11:11  These things He said, and after this He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awaken him."

11  Jesus said these things; and after that he said to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.

11  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.

11:12  Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will get well."

12  The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

12  And so his disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall be healthy.”

11:13  However, Jesus spoke about his death, but they thought that He was speaking about resting in sleep.

13  But Jesus had spoken about his death. Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep.

11:14  Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.

14  Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died.

11:15  And I rejoice for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."

15  And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

15  And I am glad I was not there, for your sakes, so that you may believe; but let us walk there.

11:16  Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."

16  Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

11:17  Therefore when He had come, Jesus found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

17  Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

11:18  Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.

18  (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.)

11:19  And many of the Jews had come to the [women] around Martha and Mary, so that they might console them concerning their brother.

19  And many Jews kept coming to Martha and Mary, to comfort their hearts concerning their brother.

11:20  Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

11:21  Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

21  Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

11:22  But even now I know that whatever You may ask of God, God will give You."

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

22  But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

11:23  Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

11:24  Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day."

11:25  Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

11:26  And everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

26  and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

11:27  She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

27  She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the world.

11:28  And when she had said these things, she went out and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

11:29  As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly and came to Him.

29  And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.

29  When Mary heard it, she rose up quickly and came to him.

11:30  Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.

30  For Jesus had not yet arrived in the town. But he was still at that place where Martha had met him.

30  Jesus had not yet come into the town, but he was still at the same place where Martha met him.

11:31  Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there."

31  Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there.”

31  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.

11:32  Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, seeing Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

32  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.

32  Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

11:33  Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.

33  When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping, who had come with her, he was moved in his spirit, and was greatly disturbed.

11:34  And He said, "Where have you laid him?"They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."

11:35  Jesus wept.

35  And Jesus was in tears.

11:36  Therefore the Jews were saying, "Look how He loved him!"

36  The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

36  Therefore, the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”

11:37  But some of them said, "Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have done [something] to keep this man from dying?"

37  Some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of that blind man, have also kept this man from dying?

37  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?

11:38  Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it.

38  As Jesus was disturbed in himself because of them, he came to the tomb. That tomb was a cave, and a stone was placed at the entrance.

11:39  Jesus said, "Take away the stone."Martha, the sister of the [one] having died, said to Him, "Lord, already there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

39  Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been [dead] four days.

11:40  Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

40  Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

11:41  Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

41  So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.

41  Therefore, they took away the stone. Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: “Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me.

11:42  And I knew that You always hear Me, but because of the people standing around I said [this], so that they may believe that You sent Me."

42  And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

11:43  And having said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

43  When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”

43  And when he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come outside.

11:44  And the [one] having died came out, bound hands and feet with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let [him] go."

44  He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

44  And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, “Release him and let him go.”

11:45  Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and seeing the things which Jesus had done, believed in Him.

45  Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.

45  Many of the Jews who had come to Mary, when they saw what Jesus had done, believed in him.

11:46  But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

46  But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.

46  And some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them everything Jesus had done.

11:47  Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What are we doing? For this Man works many signs.

47  And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: “What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.

47  So the high priests and the Pharisees gathered together and said, What shall we do? for this man does many miracles?

11:48  If we leave Him alone in this way, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and will take away both our place and nation."

48  If we allow him to continue like this, all men will believe in him; and the Romans will come and take over both our country and our people.

48  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.

11:49  But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You don't know anything,

49  Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, said to them: “You do not understand anything.

49  And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

11:50  nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish."

50  nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

50  Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

11:51  Now this he did not say on his own, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

51  He did not say this of himself; but because he was the high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus had to die for the sake of the people;

51  And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

11:52  and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

11:53  Therefore from that day [on] they took counsel together, that they might kill Him.

53  So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

53  And from that very day, they decided to kill him.

11:54  Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but He went away from there into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there He stayed with His disciples.

54  Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples.

54  And so, Jesus no longer walked in public with the Jews. But he went into a region near the desert, to a city which is called Ephraim. And he lodged there with his disciples.

11:55  And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves.

55  Now the Jewish passover was at hand; and many went up from the towns to Jerusalem, before the feast, to purify themselves.

11:56  Then they were seeking Jesus, and they were speaking with one another, standing in the temple, "What do you think-that He will definitely not come to the feast?"

56  They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?

11:57  Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report [it], so that they might seize Him.

57  And the high priests and Pharisees had given an order, so that if anyone would know where he may be, he should reveal it, so that they might apprehend him.

57  But the high priests and the Pharisees had already commanded, that if any man should know where he is, to let them know, so that they might seize him.
