John 10

1
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
2
"But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
3
"To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4
"When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5
"A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.'
6
This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.
7
So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8
"All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9
" I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11
" I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
12
"He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
13
"He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.
14
" I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,
15
even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
16
"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they 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 again.
18
" No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.'
19
A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words.
20
Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?'
21
Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?'
22
At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem;
23
it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon.
24
The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.'
25
Jesus answered them, " I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me.
26
"But 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 eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29
" My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
30
" I and the Father are one.'
31
The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
32
Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?'
33
The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.'
34
Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, " I SAID, YOU ARE GODS'?
35
"If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
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'?
37
" If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38
but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.'
39
Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp.
40
And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.
41
Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true.'
42
Many believed in Him there. 11

John 11

1
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2
It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3
So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, " Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.'
4
But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.'
5
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6
So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.
7
Then after this He said to the disciples, " Let us go to Judea again.'
8
The disciples said to Him, " Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?'
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.
10
"But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.'
11
This He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.'
12
The disciples then said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.'
13
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
14
So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
15
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.'
16
Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.'
17
So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;
19
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20
Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.
21
Martha then said to Jesus, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22
"Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.'
23
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again.'
24
Martha said to Him, " I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.'
25
Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
26
and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?'
27
She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.'
28
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, " The Teacher is here and is calling for you.'
29
And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.
30
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.
31
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32
Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.'
33
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34
and said, "Where have you laid him?' They said to Him, "Lord, come and see.'
35
Jesus wept.
36
So the Jews were saying, "See how He loved him!'
37
But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?'
38
So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39
Jesus said, "Remove the stone.' Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.'
40
Jesus said to her, " Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?'
41
So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, " Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
42
"I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.'
43
When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth.'
44
The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go.'
45
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.
46
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47
Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.
48
"If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.'
49
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50
nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.'
51
Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest 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 who are scattered abroad.
53
So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.
54
Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.
55
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.
56
So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?'
57
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him. 12

John 12

1
Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2
So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
3
Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4
But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said,
5
"Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?'
6
Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
7
Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.
8
" For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.'
9
The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.
10
But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;
11
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
12
On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13
took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, " Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel.'
14
Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
15
" FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT.'
16
These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.
17
So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.
18
For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
19
So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.'
20
Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;
21
these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus.'
22
Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.
23
And Jesus answered them, saying, " The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25
" He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.
26
"If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
27
" Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, " Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.
28
" Father, glorify Your name.' Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.'
29
So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, " An angel has spoken to Him.'
30
Jesus answered and said, " This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.
31
" Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32
"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.'
33
But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.
34
The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, "The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?'
35
So Jesus said to them, " For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
36
"While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.' These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.
37
But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.
38
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: " LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?'
39
For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
40
" HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM.'
41
These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.
42
Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;
43
for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
44
And Jesus cried out and said, " He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.
45
" He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
46
" I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.
47
"If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48
" He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
49
" For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.
50
"I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.' 13
