If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”

“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them

In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

A slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

A slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”

The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death.

You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”

Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.

“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”

At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,

Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.

As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.

Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:

“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”

Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.

There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.

Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.

In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.

In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”

In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”

Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”

Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’?

A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.

After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.

So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.

One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”

Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.

“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”

“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”

“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”

“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”

“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
