John 10

1
`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
2
and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3
to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
4
and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5
and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6
This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7
Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- I am the door of the sheep;
8
all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
9
I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.
10
`The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
11
`I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;
12
and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
13
and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.
14
`I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,
15
according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,
16
and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.
17
`Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
18
no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'
19
Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
20
and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'
21
others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
22
And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
24
the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'
25
Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
26
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,
28
and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;
29
my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
30
I and the Father are one.'
31
Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;
32
Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'
33
The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'
34
Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?
35
if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)
36
of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?
37
if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;
38
and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.'
39
Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,
40
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,
41
and many came unto him, and said -- `John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'
42
and many did believe in him there.


John 11

1
And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --
2
and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --
3
therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
4
and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
5
And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
6
when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
7
then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'
8
the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
9
Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
10
and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
11
These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
12
therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
13
but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
14
Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;
15
and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
16
therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'
17
Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
18
And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
19
and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
20
Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
21
Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
22
but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
23
Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.'
24
Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
25
Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
26
and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;
27
believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
28
And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
29
she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
30
and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
31
the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'
32
Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
33
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
34
`Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and see;'
35
Jesus wept.
36
The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'
37
and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'
38
Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
39
Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
40
Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
41
They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;
42
and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'
43
And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'
44
and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'
45
Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
46
but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
47
the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
48
if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'
49
and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,
50
nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
51
And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
52
and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
53
From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
54
Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
55
And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
56
they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'
57
and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.


John 12

1
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
2
they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;
3
Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
4
Therefore saith one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up --
5
`Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'
6
and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7
Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
9
A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12
On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,
13
took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;'
14
and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15
`Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
16
And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.
17
The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
18
because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
19
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, `Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
21
these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23
And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
24
verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
25
he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep it;
26
if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.
27
`Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say -- Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came to this hour;
28
Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
29
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30
Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33
And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;
34
the multitude answered him, `We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'
35
Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;
36
while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,
38
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?'
39
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
40
`He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41
these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
43
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44
And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
46
I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;
47
and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48
`He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,
49
because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
50
and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'
