Jesus Returns To Galilee And Feeds The 5000

6 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee— of Tiberias^[a]. ² And a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which He was doing on the ones being sick. ³ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and was sitting there with His disciples. ⁴ And the Passover, the Feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Then Jesus, having lifted-up His eyes and seen that a large crowd was coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where may we buy bread in order that these ones may eat?” ⁶ Now He was saying this testing him. For He Himself knew what He was going to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, “Loaves worth two-hundred denarii^[b] are not enough for them, in order that each one may receive a little bit”. ⁸ One of His disciples— Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter— says to Him, ⁹ “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many?” ¹⁰ Jesus said, “Make the people fall-back [to eat]”. And there was much grass in the place. So the men— about five-thousand as to the number— fell back [to eat]. ¹¹ Then Jesus took the loaves. And having given-thanks, He distributed them to the ones reclining-back [to eat]— likewise also from the fish— as much as they were wanting. ¹² And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather the left-over fragments so that nothing may be lost”. ¹³ So they gathered, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves, which were left over by the ones having eaten. ¹⁴ Therefore the people, having seen the sign which He did, were saying that “This One is truly the Prophet^[c] coming into the world”. ¹⁵ Then Jesus, having known that they were about to come and take Him away-by-force in order that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain, Himself alone.

Jesus Walks On Water To Capernaum

¹⁶ Now when it became evening, His disciples went down to the sea. ¹⁷ And having gotten into a boat, they were going to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And darkness already had come, and Jesus had not-yet come to them. ¹⁸ And the sea was becoming aroused from a great wind blowing. ¹⁹ So having rowed about twenty five or thirty stades^[d], they see Jesus walking on the sea and becoming near the boat. And they became afraid. ²⁰ But the One says to them, “I am^[e] the One. Do not be afraid”. ²¹ So they were willing to take Him into the boat. And immediately the boat came-to-be at the land to which they were going.

The Crowd Follows Him There

²² On the next day the crowd standing on the other side of the sea saw that there had not been another small boat there except [the] one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone. ²³ Other^[f] small-boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given-thanks. ²⁴ So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they got into the small boats, and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

Jesus Says, Work For The Food Leading To Eternal Life, Which The Son Will Give You

²⁵ And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?” ²⁶ Jesus responded to them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you— you are seeking Me not because you saw signs^[g], but because you ate of the loaves-of-bread and were filled-to-satisfaction. ²⁷ Do not be working for the food which is perishing, but for the food which is remaining to^[h] eternal life— which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father certified^[i] this One”.

The Work God Requires of You Is To Believe In The One Sent Forth By God

²⁸ So they said to Him, “What may we be doing in order that we may be working the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you be believing in the One Whom that One sent-forth”.

My Father Is Giving You The True Bread From Heaven, Which Came To Give Life

³⁰ So they said to Him, “What then do You do as a sign, in order that we may see it and believe You? What thing do you work? ³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it has been written [in Ps 78:24]: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat’”. ³² So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven, but My Father is giving you the true Bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is the One coming^[j] down from heaven and giving life to the world”.

I Am The Bread of Life Come From Heaven. He Who Believes In Me Has Eternal Life

³⁴ So they said to Him, “Master, give us this bread always”. ³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one coming to Me will never hunger, and the one believing in Me will never ever^[k] thirst. ³⁶ But I said to you that you have indeed seen Me^[l], and you are not believing. ³⁷ All that the Father gives to Me will come to Me, and I will never^[m] throw outside the one coming to Me. ³⁸ Because I have come down from heaven not in order that I may be doing My will, but the will of the One having sent Me. ³⁹ And this is the will of the One having sent Me: that as to all that He has given to Me, I will not lose anything from it, but I will raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of My Father: that everyone seeing the Son and believing in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day”.

I Am The Living Bread From Heaven: Eat And Live Forever. The Bread Is My Flesh

⁴¹ Then the Jews were grumbling about Him because He said, “I am the bread having come down from heaven”. ⁴² And they were saying, “Is this One not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say that ‘I have come down from heaven’?” ⁴³ Jesus responded and said to them, “Do not be grumbling with one another. ⁴⁴ No one is able to come to Me unless the Father having sent Me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵ It has been written in the prophets [in Isa 54:13]: ‘and they shall all be taught ones of God’. Everyone having heard from the Father and having learned, comes to Me— ⁴⁶ not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One being from God; this One has seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you— the one believing has eternal life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread coming down from heaven in order that anyone may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread having come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And indeed the bread which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh”.

My Flesh Is True Food; My Blood Is True Drink. Partake And Live Forever

⁵² Then the Jews were fighting with one another, saying, “How can this One give us His flesh to eat?” ⁵³ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless^[n] you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ For My flesh is true^[o] food, and My blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood abides in Me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ Just as the living Father sent Me forth, and I live because of the Father, indeed the one eating Me— that one also will live because of Me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread having come down from heaven; not as the manna the fathers ate and died. The one eating this bread will live forever”. ⁵⁹ He said these things in a synagogue while teaching in Capernaum.

These Words Are Spirit And Life. But Some of You Disciples Do Not Believe

⁶⁰ Then many of His disciples, having heard, said, “This statement is hard^[p]. Who can hear^[q] it?” ⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this offend you? ⁶² Then what if you see the Son of Man going up where He was formerly? ⁶³ The Spirit is the One giving-life. The flesh profits nothing. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe”. For Jesus knew from the beginning who the ones not believing were, and who the one who will hand Him over was. ⁶⁵ And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you that no one is able to come to Me unless it has been granted to him from the Father”.

From This Time, Many of His Disciples No Longer Followed Him

⁶⁶ From this time, many of His disciples went back, and were no longer walking with Him. ⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the twelve, “You also are not wanting to go-away, are you?” ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ And we have believed, and have come-to-know that You are the Holy One of God”. ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is the devil?” ⁷¹ Now He was speaking-of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. For this one, one of the twelve, was going to hand Him over.

Jesus Remained In Galilee Because They Were Seeking To Kill Him In Judea

7 And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee. For He was not willing to be walking in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

Jesus Goes To Jerusalem For The Feast of Tabernacles

² Now the Tent-pitching^[r] Feast of the Jews was near. ³ So His brothers said to Him, “Pass-on from here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] also will see Your works which You are doing. ⁴ For no one does something in secret and himself seeks to be in public. If You are doing these things, make Yourself known^[s] to the world”. ⁵ (For not even His brothers were believing in Him). ⁶ So Jesus says to them, “My time^[t] is not yet here, but your time is always ready. ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but it is hating Me because I am testifying about it that its works are evil. ⁸ You go up to the Feast. I am not going up to this Feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”. ⁹ And having said these things, He remained in Galilee. ¹⁰ But when His brothers went up to the Feast, then He also went up— not openly, but as in secret. ¹¹ Then the Jews were seeking-for Him at the Feast, and saying “Where is that One?” ¹² And there was much grumbling about Him among the crowds. Some were saying that “He is good”. But others were saying, “No, but He is deceiving the crowd”. ¹³ Yet no one was speaking with openness^[u] about Him because of fear of the Jews.

In The Middle of The Feast, Jesus Began Teaching In The Temple:

¹⁴ Now the Feast already being-at-the-middle, Jesus went up to the temple, and was teaching.

My Teaching Is From God And For His Glory. Why Do You Want To Kill Me?

¹⁵ Then the Jews were marveling, saying, “How does this One know writings^[v], not having learned?” ¹⁶ So Jesus responded to them and said “My teaching is not Mine, but the One’s having sent Me. ¹⁷ If anyone is willing^[w] to be doing His will, he will know about the teaching— whether it is from God, or I am speaking from Myself. ¹⁸ The one speaking from himself is seeking his own glory. But the One seeking the glory of the One having sent Him— this One is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. ¹⁹ Has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you is doing the Law! Why are you seeking to kill Me?”

Do Not Judge According To Appearance

²⁰ The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?” ²¹ Jesus responded and said to them, “I did one^[x] work, and you all marvel! ²² For this reason^[y] Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but it is from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on a Sabbath. ²³ If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry^[z] at Me because I made an entire man sound^[aa] on a Sabbath? ²⁴ Do not be judging according to appearance, but be judging the righteous judgment”.

The God Whom You Do Not Know Sent Me To You

²⁵ Then some of the people-of-Jerusalem were saying, “Is not this the One Whom they are seeking to kill? ²⁶ And look— He is speaking in public, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers did not perhaps really know^[ab] that this One is the Christ, did they? ²⁷ However, we know where this One is from. But when the Christ is coming, no one knows where He is from”. ²⁸ So Jesus cried-out while teaching in the temple and saying, “You both know Me and You know where I am from. And^[ac] I have not come of Myself. However, the One having sent Me is true— Whom you do not know. ²⁹ I know Him, because I am from Him. And that One sent Me forth”. ³⁰ Therefore they were seeking to seize Him. And no one put his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

I Will Be With You a Short Time Longer, Then I Am Returning To God

³¹ But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they were saying, “When the Christ comes, He will not do more^[ad] signs than the ones which this One did, will He?” ³² The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him. And the chief priests and the Pharisees sent out officers in order that they might seize Him. ³³ So Jesus said, “I am with you a short time longer, and [then] I am going to the One having sent Me. ³⁴ You will seek Me, and will not find Me. And where I am, you are not able to come”. ³⁵ Then the Jews said to themselves, “Where is this One going to go that we will not find Him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion of the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is He? ³⁶ What is this statement that He said: ‘You will seek Me and will not find Me. And where I am, you are not able to come’?”

On The Last Day Jesus Said, Come To Me. The Crowd Remained Divided Over Him

³⁷ Now on the last day, the great day of the Feast, Jesus was standing there. And He cried-out, saying, “If anyone is thirsting, let him come to Me and drink. ³⁸ The one believing in Me, just as the Scripture said— Rivers of living water will flow from his^[ae] belly”. ³⁹ Now He said this concerning the Spirit, Whom the ones having believed in Him were going to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. ⁴⁰ Then some from the crowd, having heard these words, were saying “This One is truly the Prophet^[af]”. ⁴¹ Others were saying “This One is the Christ”. But the^[ag] ones were saying “The Christ is not indeed^[ah] coming from Galilee, is He? ⁴² Did not the Scripture say that the Christ comes from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” ⁴³ So a division took place in the crowd because of Him. ⁴⁴ And some of them were wanting to seize Him, but no one put his hands on Him.

Most of The Jewish Rulers And Pharisees Did Not Believe In Him

⁴⁵ Then the officers went to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those ones said to them, “For what reason did you not bring Him?” ⁴⁶ The officers answered, “Never did a man speak in this manner”. ⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees responded to them, “You also have not been deceived, have you? ⁴⁸ Someone from the rulers did not believe in Him, did he, or from the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But this crowd not knowing the Law— they are accursed ones”. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus— the one having come to Him formerly, being one of them— says to them, ⁵¹ “Our Law does not judge the person unless it first hears from him, and knows what he is doing, does it ?” ⁵² They responded and said to him, “You also are not from Galilee, are you? Search and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee”. ⁵³ And^[ai] each one went to his house, 8 ¹ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

The Pharisees Bring Jesus a Woman Caught In Adultery

² Now at dawn, He again arrived in the temple. And all the people were coming to Him. And having sat-down, He was teaching them. ³ And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman having been caught in adultery. And having stood her in the middle, ⁴ they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the-act, while committing-adultery. ⁵ Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to be stoning such women^[aj]. What then do You say?” ⁶ Now they were saying this testing Him, in order that they might have grounds to be accusing Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing in the ground with His finger. ⁷ But as they were continuing-on asking Him, He straightened-up and said to them, “Let the sinless one among you throw a stone at her first”. ⁸ And again having stooped-down, He was writing in the ground. ⁹ And the ones, having heard it, were going out one by one, beginning from the older ones. And He was left-behind alone, and the woman being in the middle. ¹⁰ And Jesus, having straightened up, said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” ¹¹ And the one said, “No one, Sir”. And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn^[ak] you. Go. And from now on, do not be sinning any longer”.

I Am The Light of The World, To Which I And My Father Are Testifying

¹² Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one following Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of ^[al] life”. ¹³ So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself— Your testimony is not true”. ¹⁴ Jesus responded and said to them, “Even if I am testifying about Myself, My testimony is true, because I know from where I came, and where I am going. But you do not know from where I come, or where I am going. ¹⁵ You are judging according to the flesh. I am not judging anyone. ¹⁶ But even if I am judging, My judgment is true, because I am not alone— but it is I and the Father having sent Me. ¹⁷ But even in your Law, it has been written that the testimony of two people is true. ¹⁸ I am the One testifying about Myself. And the Father having sent Me is testifying about Me”. ¹⁹ So they were saying 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”. ²⁰ These words He spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

I Am Going Away. Unless You Believe That I Am The One, You Will Die In Your Sins

²¹ Then He said again to them, “I am going away. And you will seek Me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to come”. ²² So the Jews were saying, “He will not kill Himself, will He— because He says, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to come’?” ²³ And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above. You are from this world, I am not from this world. ²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am^[am] the One, you will die in your sins”.

I Am What I Have Been Saying I Am From The Beginning

²⁵ So they were saying to Him, “Who^[an] are You?” Jesus said to them, “What^[ao] thing from the beginning I am indeed telling you! ²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, the One having sent Me is true. And what things I heard from Him— these things I am speaking to the world”. ²⁷ They did not know that He was speaking to them about the Father.

When You Lift Up The Son of Man, You Will Know I Am The One

²⁸ Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift-up^[ap] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the One, and I am doing nothing from Myself, but I am speaking these things just as the Father taught Me. ²⁹ And the One having sent Me is with Me. He did not leave Me alone, because I am always doing the things pleasing to Him”. ³⁰ While He was speaking these things, many believed in Him.

If You Remain In My Word, Then You Are Truly My Disciples And The Truth Will Set You Free

³¹ Then Jesus was saying to the Jews having believed Him, “If you remain^[aq] in My word, you are truly My disciples, ³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”.

You Are Slaves of Sin. If The Son Sets You Free, You Will Truly Be Free

³³ They responded to Him, “We are the seed of Abraham, and to no one have we ever been slaves^[ar]. How is it You say that ‘You will become free’?” ³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you that everyone doing^[as] sin is a slave of sin. ³⁵ Now the slave does not remain in the house forever. The son remains forever. ³⁶ Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will really^[at] be free. ³⁷ I know that you are the seed of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill Me, because My word is not advancing^[au] in you. ³⁸ I am speaking the things which I have seen with My^[av] Father. And you therefore are doing^[aw] the things which you heard from your father”.

You Are Doing The Works of Your Father, Not Abraham

³⁹ They responded and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”. Jesus says to them, “If you are children of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But now^[ax] you are seeking to kill Me— a man Who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. ⁴¹ You are doing the works of your father”.

If God Were Your Father, You Would Be Loving Me. Your Father Is The Devil

So they said to Him, “We have not been born out of sexuality-immorality; we have one father— God”. ⁴² Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would be loving Me, for I came-forth and am-here from God. For I have not even come of Myself, but that One sent Me forth. ⁴³ For what reason are you not understanding My speaking? It is because you are not able to hear My word. ⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil. And you are wanting^[ay] to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and was not standing^[az] in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie^[ba], he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ And because I am speaking the truth, you are not believing Me. ⁴⁶ Which of you convicts Me concerning sin? If I am speaking truth, for what reason are you not believing Me? ⁴⁷ The one being of ^[bb] God hears the words of God. For this reason you are not hearing— because you are not of God”.

I Am Honoring My Father. If You Keep My Word, You Will Never See Death

⁴⁸ The Jews responded and said to Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a Samaritan^[bc] and have a demon?” ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I am honoring My Father, and you are dishonoring Me. ⁵⁰ But I am not seeking My glory. There is the One seeking it, and judging. ⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you— if anyone keeps My word, he will never^[bd] see death, ever”.

You Do Not Know God, But I Do. And Abraham Was Glad When He Saw My Day

⁵² So the Jews said to Him, “Now we have come-to-know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets! And You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death, ever!’ ⁵³ You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets died also. Whom do You make Yourself ?” ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. The One glorifying Me is My Father— Whom you say that ‘He is our God’. ⁵⁵ And you have not come-to-know Him, but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you. But I know Him, and I am keeping His word. ⁵⁶ Abraham your father rejoiced-greatly to see My day. And he saw it, and was glad”.

Before Abraham Was, I Am. Hearing This, They Picked Up Stones To Kill Jesus

⁵⁷ So the Jews said to Him, “You do not yet have fifty years, and You have seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you— before Abraham came-into-being^[be], I am^[bf]”. ⁵⁹ Therefore they picked up stones in order that they might throw them at Him. But Jesus was hidden^[bg], and went out of the temple.

While Passing On, Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

9 And while passing on, He saw a man blind from birth. ² And His disciples asked Him, saying “Rabbi, who sinned— this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?” ³ Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but it was in order that the works of God might be made-visible in him. ⁴ We must be working the works of the One having sent Me while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵ When I am in the world, I am the light of the world”. ⁶ Having said these things, He spat on the ground and made mud from the saliva, and smeared its mud on the eyes, ⁷ and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “Sent”^[bh]). So he went away and washed, and came^[bi] [back] seeing. ⁸ Then the neighbors, and the ones seeing him formerly— because^[bj] he was a beggar— were saying “Is not this the one sitting and begging?” ⁹ Others were saying that “This is he”. Others were saying, “No, but he is like him”. That one was saying that “I am he”. ¹⁰ So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” ¹¹ That one answered, “The man being called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes, and said to me ‘Go to Siloam and wash’. So having gone away and washed, I received-sight”. ¹² And they said to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I do not know”.

The Pharisees Were Divided Over This Sign, Because It Was Done On a Sabbath

¹³ They bring him to the Pharisees— the formerly blind one. ¹⁴ Now it was a Sabbath on the day Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Therefore the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received-sight. And the one said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see”. ¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”. But others were saying, “How is a sinful man able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ So they say to the blind one again, “What do you say about Him, seeing-that He opened your eyes?” And the one said that “He is a prophet”.

The Pharisees Question Whether He Was Blind, And Call In The Parents

¹⁸ Then the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received-sight— until they called the parents of him having received-sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them, saying “Is this your son whom you are saying that he was born blind? How then does he see now?” ²⁰ So his parents responded and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. ²¹ But how he now sees— we do not know. Or who opened his eyes— we do not know. Ask him. He has a mature-age. He will speak about himself ”. ²² His parents said these things because they were fearing the Jews. For the Jews already had agreed that if anyone confessed Him as the Christ, he should become put-out-of-the-synagogue. ²³ For this reason his parents said that “He has a mature-age, question him”.

They Don’t Want To Believe Jesus Did It, So They Question The Man Again

²⁴ Then they called for a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner”. ²⁵ So that one responded, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. I know one thing— that being a blind one, now I see”. ²⁶ So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” ²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You also do not want to become His disciples, do you?” ²⁸ And they reviled him and said, “You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses. But we do not know where this One is from”. ³⁰ The man responded and said to them, “Why, in this is^[bk] the marvel^[bl]— that you do not know where He is from, and He opened my eyes! ³¹ We know that God does not hear^[bm] sinners. But if anyone is a God-fearing one, and is doing His will— He hears this one. ³² It was not ever heard that someone opened the eyes of one having been born blind. ³³ If this One were not from God, He would be able to do nothing”. ³⁴ They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they threw him outside^[bn].

Jesus Tells The Man, I Came So The Blind May See And The Seeing May Become Blind

³⁵ Jesus heard that they threw him outside, and having found him, said “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” ³⁶ That one responded and said, “Who indeed is He, Sir, in order that I may believe in Him?” ³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and that One is the One speaking with you”. ³⁸ And the one said, “Master, I believe”, and prostrated-himself ^[bo] before Him. ³⁹ And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment— so that the ones not seeing^[bp] may be seeing, and the ones seeing may become blind”.

You Pharisees Are Thieves, Not Shepherds, So God’s Sheep Do Not Follow You

⁴⁰ Some of the Pharisees heard these things— the ones being with him— and said to Him, “We indeed are not blind ones, are we?” ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, “If you were blind^[bq] ones, you would not have^[br] sin. But you are saying now that ‘We see’— your sin remains. 10 ¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering into the fold of the sheep through the door, but going-up from-another-place— that one is a thief and a robber. ² But the One entering through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. ³ The doorkeeper opens to this One. And the sheep hear^[bs] His voice. And He calls His own sheep by name, and leads them out. ⁴ When He brings out all His own, He proceeds in front of them. And the sheep are following Him, because they know His voice. ⁵ But they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers”. ⁶ Jesus spoke this figure-of-speech to them, but those ones did not understand what the things were which He was speaking to them.

I Am The Door of The Sheep. All Who Enter Through Me Will Be Saved

⁷ Then Jesus said again, “Truly, truly, I say to you that I am the door of ^[bt] the sheep. ⁸ All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen-to them. ⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. And he will go in and go out, and he will find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief does not come except that he may steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have abundance^[bu].

I Am The Good Shepherd. All My Sheep Know Me. I Give My Life For Them

¹¹ “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays-down His life for the sheep. ¹² The one being a hired one and not a shepherd, of whom the sheep are not his own— he sees the wolf coming and leaves^[bv] the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them, ¹³ because he is a hired one, and he is not concerned about the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd. And I know My sheep, and My sheep know Me— ¹⁵ just as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. And I lay-down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold^[bw]. I must bring those also. And they^[bx] will hear My voice. And they will become one flock, [with] one Shepherd. ¹⁷ For this reason the Father loves Me— because I lay down My life so that I may take it up again. ¹⁸ No one takes it away 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. I received this commandment from My Father”.

The Pharisees Remain Divided

¹⁹ A division again^[by] took place among the Jews because of these words. ²⁰ And many of them were saying, “He has a demon, and He is mad. Why are you listening-to Him?” ²¹ Others^[bz] were saying, “These words are not from one being demon-possessed. A demon is not able to open the eyes of blind ones, is he?”

During The Festival of Hanukkah, Jesus Says He And The Father Are One

²² Then the Festival-of-Dedication^[ca] took place in Jerusalem. It was winter. ²³ And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. ²⁴ Then the Jews surrounded Him. And they were saying to Him, “How long are You keeping us in suspense^[cb]? If You are the Christ, tell us with plainness”. ²⁵ Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works which I am doing in the name of My Father— these are testifying about Me. ²⁶ However, you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep. ²⁷ My sheep hear My voice. And I know them, and they follow Me. ²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, ever. And someone will not snatch them out of My hand. ²⁹ What^[cc] My Father has given to Me is greater than all. And no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father. ³⁰ I and the Father are one^[cd]”.

The Jewish Leaders Want To Kill Jesus For Blasphemy Because He Is Making Himself God

³¹ The Jews again carried stones in order that they might stone Him. ³² Jesus responded to them, “I showed you many good works from the Father. For which work of them do you stone Me?” ³³ The Jews answered Him, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy— even because You, being a human, are making Yourself God”.

Jesus Responds: Saying “I Am God’s Son” Is Not Blasphemy If I Am Doing God’s Works

³⁴ Jesus responded to them, “Has it not been written in your Law that ‘I said, you are gods^[ce]’? ³⁵ If He^[cf] called those ones to whom the word of God came gods— and the Scripture cannot be broken— ³⁶ do you^[cg] say as to the One Whom the Father set-apart and sent-forth into the world that ‘You are blaspheming’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? ³⁷ If I am not doing the works of My Father, do not be believing Me. ³⁸ But if I am doing them— even if you do not believe Me, be believing the works, in order that you may come-to-know and be understanding^[ch] that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father”. ³⁹ Then they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went out of their hand.

Jesus Leaves Judea

⁴⁰ And He went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was first baptizing. And He was staying there. ⁴¹ And many came to Him, and were saying that “John did no sign— but all that John said about this One was true”. ⁴² And many believed in Him there.

Jesus Hears That Lazarus Is Sick

11 Now there was a certain one being sick— Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha, her sister. ² And it was Mary, the one having anointed^[ci] the Lord with perfume and having wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ So the sisters sent out a message to Him, saying, “Lord, look— the one whom You love is sick”. ⁴ And having heard, Jesus said “This sickness is not leading to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it”.

Jesus Returns To Judea To Raise Lazarus From The Dead

⁵ Now Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ So when He heard that he was sick, at that time He remained for two days in which place He was— ⁷ then after this, says to the disciples, “Let us be going to Judea again”. ⁸ The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just-now seeking to stone You, and You are going there again?” ⁹ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of the day? If one walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if one walks during the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him”. ¹¹ He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen-asleep, but I am going in order that I may awaken him”. ¹² So the disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be restored”. ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken concerning his death, but those ones thought that He was speaking concerning the sleep of slumber^[cj]. ¹⁴ So at-that-time Jesus said to them with plainness, “Lazarus died. ¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us be going to him”. ¹⁶ Then Thomas, the one being called Didymus^[ck], said to his fellow-disciples, “Let us indeed be going, so that we may die with Him^[cl]”.

Jesus Says, I Am The Resurrection And The Life. The One Believing In Me Will Live

¹⁷ So having come, Jesus found him already having four days in the tomb. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stades^[cm] away. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary in order that they might console them concerning their brother. ²⁰ So Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met Him. But Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But even now I know that whatever You ask God, God will give You”. ²³ Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise-up”. ²⁴ Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise-up in the resurrection at the last day”. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one believing in Me— even though he dies, he will live. ²⁶ And everyone living and believing in Me will never die, ever. Do you believe this?” ²⁷ She says to Him, “Yes, Lord. I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world”. ²⁸ And having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, having said, “The Teacher is here and is calling you”. ²⁹ And that one, when she heard, arose quickly and was going to Him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him. ³¹ So the Jews— the ones being with her in the house and consoling her—having seen that Mary stood up quickly and went out, followed her, having supposed that she was going to the tomb in order that she might weep there. ³² Then Mary— when she came where Jesus was, having seen Him— fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died”. ³³ Then Jesus— when He saw her weeping, and the Jews having come with her weeping— was deeply-moved^[cn] in His spirit, and troubled^[co] Himself. ³⁴ And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ So the Jews were saying, “Look— how He was loving him!” ³⁷ And^[cp] some of them said, “Was not this One— the One having opened the eyes of the blind one— able to cause that this one also should not die?”

Jesus Calls Lazarus Out of The Tomb. Many Believe In Him

³⁸ Then Jesus, again being deeply-moved in Himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon^[cq] it. ³⁹ Jesus says, “Take away the stone”. Martha, the sister of the one having come-to-an-end^[cr], says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks, for it is the fourth-day”. ⁴⁰ Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” ⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted His eyes upward, and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me. ⁴² Now I knew that You always hear Me. But I said this for the sake of the crowd having stood around— in order that they may believe that You sent Me forth”. ⁴³ And having said these things, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come outside!” ⁴⁴ The one having died came out, having been bound as to the feet and the hands with grave-cloths. And his face had been bound-around with a face-cloth. Jesus says to them, “Unbind him, and allow him to go”. ⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews— the ones having come to Mary, and having seen the things which He did— believed in Him.

Some Told The Pharisees. Caiaphas Prophesies, Better For One To Die For The People

⁴⁶ But some^[cs] of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus did. ⁴⁷ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together a council^[ct]. And they were saying, “What are we doing? Because this man is doing many signs! ⁴⁸ If we tolerate Him in this manner, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place^[cu] and nation”. ⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being the high priest of that year, said to them, “You do not know anything— ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is better for you that one Man die for the people, and the whole nation not perish”. ⁵¹ Now he did not say this from himself, but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation. ⁵² And not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God having been scattered [in the world]. ⁵³ Therefore from that day, they planned to kill Him.

Jesus Withdraws From The Public

⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus was no longer walking in public among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city being called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples.

At The Passover, Everyone Was Looking For Jesus

⁵⁵ Now the Passover [Feast] of the Jews was near. And many went up to Jerusalem from the country^[cv] before the Passover [Feast], in order that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶ So they were seeking Jesus, and saying, standing with one another in the temple, “What seems right to you— that He will by no means come to the Feast?” ⁵⁷ And the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commands that if anyone came-to-know where He was, he should disclose it— so that they might seize Him.

In Bethany At a Dinner For Jesus And Lazarus, Mary Anoints Jesus

12 Therefore Jesus, six days before the Passover [Feast], came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² So they made a dinner for Him there. And Martha was serving. And Lazarus was one of the ones reclining-back [to eat] with Him. ³ Then Mary, having taken a pound of very-valuable genuine^[cw] nard perfume, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled from the aroma of the perfume. ⁴ But Judas the Iscariot— one of His disciples, the one going to hand Him over— says, ⁵ “For what reason was this perfume not sold for three-hundred denarii^[cx] and given to poor ones?” ⁶ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. And having the money-box, he was carrying^[cy] the things being put there. ⁷ So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. It was^[cz] in order that she might keep it for the day of My preparation-for-burial. ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me”. ⁹ Then the large crowd^[da] of the Jews came-to-know that He was there. And they came— not because of Jesus only, but in order that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead. ¹⁰ And the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus also, ¹¹ because many of the Jews were going-away and were believing in Jesus because of him.

Jesus The King Enters Jerusalem On a Donkey, As Predicted By Zechariah

¹² On the next day the large crowd^[db]— the one having come to the Feast— having heard^[dc] that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took the branches of palm-trees and came out to meet Him. And they were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel”. ¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young-donkey, sat on it, just as it has been written [in Zech 9:9]: ¹⁵ “Do not be fearing, daughter of Zion. Behold— your King is coming, sitting on a colt of a donkey”. ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written for^[dd] Him, and that they did these things to Him. ¹⁷ Then the crowd^[de] was testifying— the one being with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead. ¹⁸ For this reason also the crowd^[df] met Him— because they heard that He had done this sign. ¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said to themselves, “You see that you are profiting nothing! Look— the world went after Him!”

Jesus Says The Hour For Which He Came Has Come. A Seed Must Die To Bear Fruit

²⁰ Now some of the ones going up in order that they might worship at the Feast were Greeks^[dg]. ²¹ So these ones came to Philip, the one from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus”. ²² Philip comes and tells Andrew. Andrew and Philip come, and they tell Jesus. ²³ And Jesus responds to them, saying, “The hour has come for^[dh] the Son of Man to be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the seed of wheat having fallen to the earth dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. ²⁵ The one loving his life loses it, and the one hating his life in this world will keep^[di] it for eternal life. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him be following Me. And where I am, there also My servant will be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. ²⁷ Now My soul has been troubled. And what should I say— ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this reason I came to this hour! ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name!”

Now Is The Judgment of This World. If I Am Lifted Up, I Will Draw All People To Myself

Then a voice came from heaven: “I both glorified it, and will again glorify it”. ²⁹ Then the crowd, the one standing there and having heard, was saying that thunder had taken place. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him”. ³⁰ Jesus responded and said, “This voice has taken place not for My sake, but for your sakes. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world will be cast out! ³² And if I am lifted-up^[dj] from the earth, I will draw all people to Myself ”. ³³ Now He was saying this signifying by what-kind-of death He was going to die.

Believe In The Light While You Have The Light, That You May Become Sons of Light

³⁴ Then the crowd responded to Him, “We heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How indeed do You say that ‘The Son of Man must be lifted-up^[dk]’? Who is this Son of Man?” ³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “The Light is among you for a short time longer. Be walking while you have the Light, in order that darkness may not overtake you. Indeed the one walking in the darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶ While you have the Light, be believing in the Light, in order that you may become sons of Light”. Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, was hidden from them.

Isaiah Is Fulfilled: God Blinded Their Eyes And Hardened Their Hearts

³⁷ Now He having done so-many^[dl] signs in front of them^[dm]— they were not believing in Him, ³⁸ in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled which he spoke [in Isa 53:1]: “Lord, who believed our report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?” ³⁹ For this reason^[dn] they were not able to believe: because again Isaiah said [in Isa 6:10] ⁴⁰ “He has blinded their eyes, and He hardened their heart, in order that they might not see with their eyes, and comprehend in their heart, and be turned, and I shall heal them”. ⁴¹ Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke about Him. ⁴² Yet indeed, even many of the rulers believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing it in order that they might not become put-out-of-the-synagogue. ⁴³ For they loved the glory of people more^[do] than the glory of God.

I Came To Save The World, And I Spoke The Father’s Words. My Words Are Eternal Life

⁴⁴ And^[dp] Jesus cried-out and said “The one believing in Me is not believing in Me, but in the One having sent Me. ⁴⁵ And the one seeing Me is seeing the One having sent Me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world as a light, so that everyone believing in Me should not remain in the darkness. ⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come in order that I might judge the world, but in order that I might save the world. ⁴⁸ The one rejecting Me and not receiving My words has that which judges him— the word which I spoke, that will judge him at the last day. ⁴⁹ Because I did not speak out of Myself, but the Father having sent Me— He has given Me a commandment as to what I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Therefore the things which I speak— just as the Father has told Me, so I speak”.

Jesus Loves His Own To The End

13 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus— knowing^[dq] that His hour came for Him to pass from this world to the Father— having loved His own ones in the world, loved them to the end^[dr].

At Dinner, Jesus Washes The Feet of The Twelve As an Example For Them To Follow

² And dinner taking-place^[ds], the devil having already put into his heart that Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, should hand Him over— ³ Jesus, knowing^[dt] that the Father gave Him all things into His hands, and that He came forth from God and is going to God, ⁴ arises from the dinner and lays-down His [outer] garments. And having taken a towel, He tied it around Himself. ⁵ Then He puts water into the wash-basin. And He began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel which had been tied-around Himself. ⁶ Then He comes to Simon Peter. He says to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” ⁷ Jesus responded and said to him, “You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things”. ⁸ Peter says to Him, “You will never wash my feet, ever!” Jesus responded to him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part^[du] with Me”. ⁹ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, wash not my feet only, but also the hands and the head!” ¹⁰ Jesus says to him, “The one having bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is entirely clean. And you^[dv] are clean— but not all of you”. ¹¹ For He knew the one handing Him over. For this reason He said that “You are not all clean”. ¹² Then when He washed their feet, and took His garments, and fell back again [to eat], He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you? ¹³ You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’— and you speak rightly, for I am. ¹⁴ Therefore if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to be washing the feet of one another. ¹⁵ For I gave you an example, in order that you also should be doing just as I did for you. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one having sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, you are blessed if you are doing them. ¹⁸ I am not speaking with-reference-to all of you. I know the ones whom I chose. But it is taking place in order that the Scripture [in Ps 41:9] might be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread lifted-up his heel against Me’. ¹⁹ From now on, I am telling you ahead of it taking place, in order that when it takes place you may believe that I am the One. ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, the one receiving whomever I send is receiving Me. And the one receiving Me is receiving the One having sent Me”.

Judas Is Identified As The Betrayer, And Leaves The Room

²¹ Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in His spirit. And He testified and said “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will hand Me over”. ²² The disciples were looking at one another, being perplexed about whom He was speaking. ²³ One of His disciples was reclining-back at the bosom of Jesus— the one whom Jesus was loving. ²⁴ So Simon Peter nods^[dw] to this one to inquire as to who it might be about whom He is speaking. ²⁵ So that one, having leaned back thus on the chest of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶ Jesus answers, “It is that one for whom I will dip the piece-of-bread and give it to him”. Then having dipped the piece-of-bread, He takes and gives it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷ And after the piece-of-bread, at that time Satan entered into that one. Then Jesus says to him, “What you are doing, do quicker^[dx]”. ²⁸ Now none of the ones reclining-back [to eat] understood this— for what purpose He said it to him. ²⁹ For some were thinking, since Judas had the money-box, that Jesus was telling him, “Buy the things of which we have a need for the Feast”, or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ So having received the piece-of-bread, that one went out immediately. And it was night.

Then Jesus Says, Now God Was Glorified In Me. And He Will Yet Glorify Me

³¹ Then when he went out, Jesus says, “Now^[dy] the Son of Man was glorified^[dz], and God was glorified in Him. ³² If God was^[ea] glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself— and will glorify Him immediately.

Where I Am Going You Cannot Come. Love One Another As I Have Loved You

³³ “Little-children, I am with you a little longer. You will seek Me, and just as I told the Jews that where I am going, you are not able to come, I also tell you now. ³⁴ I am giving you a new commandment— that you be loving one another; just as I loved you, that you also be loving one another. ³⁵ By this everyone will know that you are disciples to Me: if you are having love in-the-case-of ^[eb] one another”.

Peter Asks Why He Can’t Come. You Will Follow Later, But Deny Me Tonight

³⁶ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going, you are not able to follow Me now. But you will follow later”. ³⁷ Peter says to Him, “Lord, for what reason am I not able to follow You right-now? I will lay-down my life for You”. ³⁸ Jesus responds, “Will you lay-down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will by no means crow until which time you deny Me three-times!

I Go To Prepare a Place For You So That You May Be With Me. And You Know The Way

14 “Do not let your^[ec] heart be troubled. Be believing^[ed] in God. Be believing also in Me. ² There are many places-to-stay^[ee] in the house of My Father— otherwise, I would have told you. ³ For I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming back^[ef]. And I will take^[eg] you to Myself— in order that where I am, you also may be. ⁴ And you know the way where I am going”.

I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life. And You Have Seen The Father

⁵ Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going. How are we able to know the way?” ⁶ Jesus says to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through^[eh] Me. ⁷ If you^[ei] have known Me, you will know^[ej] My Father also. And from now on, you know Him, and you have seen Him”.

He Who Has Seen Me Has Seen The Father

⁸ Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us”. ⁹ Jesus says to him, “Am I with you^[ek] all for so long a time, and you^[el] have not known^[em] Me, Philip?— the one having seen Me has seen the Father. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? I am not speaking the words which I am saying to you^[en] from Myself, but the Father abiding in Me is doing His works. ¹¹ Be believing Me— that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, be believing because of the works themselves.

You Will Do Greater Works Than I. The Father Will Send You The Helper

¹² “Truly, truly, I say to you— the one believing in Me, that one also will do the works which I am doing. And he will do greater^[eo] works than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³ And whatever thing you ask in My name, this I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will request the Father, and He will give you another Helper^[ep] to be with^[eq] you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, Whom the world is not able to receive because it does not see nor know Him. You know Him because He abides with^[er] you, and will be in^[es] you.

You Will See Me Again. And I Will Reveal Myself To Those Who Love Me

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans. I am going to come to you. ¹⁹ A little longer, and the world is no longer going to see Me, but you are going to see Me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ On that day, you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. ²¹ The one having My commandments and keeping them— that one is the one loving^[et] Me. And the one loving Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love him and reveal Myself to him”.

The Father And I Will Abide With Those Who Love Me And Keep My Word

²² Judas (not the Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, what indeed has taken place that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world^[eu]?” ²³ Jesus responded and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. And My Father will love him. And We will come to him. And We will make a place-to-stay with him. ²⁴ The one not loving Me does not keep My words. And the word which you^[ev] are hearing is not Mine, but the Father’s having sent Me.

The Holy Spirit Whom The Father Will Send In My Name Will Teach You All Things

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you while staying^[ew] with you. ²⁶ But the Helper— the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name— that One will teach you all things, and remind you of everything which I said to you.

I Leave You My Peace. Do Not Be Troubled. I Am Returning To The Father

²⁷ “I leave you peace. I give you My peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid^[ex]. ²⁸ You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going, and I am coming to you’. If you were loving^[ey] Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because^[ez] the Father is greater than Me. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it takes place, in order that when it takes place, you may believe.

I Love The Father And Am Doing Just What He Commanded Me To Do

³⁰ “I will no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of the world is coming. And he does not have anything^[fa] in Me, ³¹ but it is taking place in order that the world may know that I love^[fb] the Father, and that just as the Father commanded Me, so I am doing.

I Am The Vine. Abide In Me And Bear Much Fruit. Abide In My Love

“Arise, let us be going from here. 15 ¹ I am the true grapevine, and My Father is the farmer. ² Every branch in Me not bearing fruit— He takes it away^[fc]. And every branch bearing fruit— He cleans^[fd] it in order that it may bear more fruit. ³ You are already clean, because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide^[fe] in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit from itself unless it is abiding in the grapevine, so neither are you able unless you are abiding in Me. ⁵ I am the grapevine, you are the branches. The one abiding^[ff] in Me and I in him— this one bears much fruit. Because apart from Me, you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone is not abiding in Me— he was thrown^[fg] outside like the branch, and was dried-up. And they gather them together, and throw them into the fire. And they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. ⁸ By this My Father is glorified— that you be bearing much fruit, and be^[fh] disciples to Me. ⁹ Just as the Father loved Me, I also loved you. Abide^[fi] in My love. ¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love— just as I have kept the commandments of My Father and am abiding in His love.

You Are My Friends. I Chose You And Appointed You To Bear Much Fruit

¹¹ “I have spoken these things to you in order that My joy may be in you, and your joy may be made full. ¹² This is My commandment: that you be loving one another just as I loved you. ¹³ No one has greater love than this: that one lay-down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are My friends if you are doing the things which I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I made-known to you everything which I heard from My Father. ¹⁶ You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, in order that you may go and bear fruit and your fruit may remain, in order that He may give you whatever thing you ask the Father in My name. ¹⁷ I am commanding these things to you so-that you will love one another.
