He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 8 The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10 Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes opened? 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 1 lor, spread know, that whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this man, we know not whence he is. 30 The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes. 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he 12 Then said they to him, Where is blind man. could do nothing. he? He said, I know not. 13 T They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind. 14 And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17 They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 18 But the Jews did no believe concerning him that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 2 or, excom- 20 His parents answered them and him." said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age; ask him: he will speak for himself. 22 These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 Then again they called the mant that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I 34 They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? and they 2 cast him out. 35 Jesus heard that they had east him out: and when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 37 And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him. 39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also? 41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. CHAP. X. 1 Christ is the door, and the good shepherd: 19 Divers opinions of him: 25 He proveth by his works, that he is Christ the Son of God: 39 Escapeth the Jews, 40 and goeth again beyond Jordan, where many believe on him.

Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? 22 T And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24 Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou i make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they testify concerning me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who gave them to me, lor, hold us in suspense? Ps. 82. 6. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him; but he escaped from their hand, 40 And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41 And many resorted to him, and said, John performed no miracle; but all things that John spoke of this man were 42 And many believed on him there. CHAP. XI. 1 Christ raiseth Lazarus who had been four days buried. 45 Many Jews believe. 47 The chief priests and Pharisees convene a council against Christ. 49 Caiaphas prophesieth. 54 Jesus hideth himself. 55 At the passover they inquire after him, and lay wait for him. OW a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 ( It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother LazaMatt. 26. 7. rus was sick.) 2 or, rabbi. 3 Therefore his ststers sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it. 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 7 Then after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. 8 His disciples say to him, a Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walketh in the night, 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, d who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? 38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. 18 (Now Bethany was nigh to Jeru-4 or, teacher. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, salem, 3 about fifteen furlongs distant.) 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 5 Gr. he troubled 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard himself. that Jesus was coming, went and met him but Mary sat in the house. 21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 But I know that even now, whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 26 And whoever liveth, and believeth & c. 9. 6. in me, shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world. 28 And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31 The Jews then who were with her c. 18. 14. in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep there. 32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and 5 was troubled; Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me: 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go. 45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. 49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. 55 ¶ And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. A. D. 33. 56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he or, rewill not come to the feast? 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast cut. 32 And I, if I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me. 33 (This he said, signifying what death he should die.) 34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? 35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and ƒ Is. 53. 1. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 6 Then he cometh to Simon Peter: 38 That the saying of Isaiah the proph- Rom. 10.16. and Peter saith to him, Lord, dost thou et might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand c. 5. 44. with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44 Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me: 45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me: 46 I am come a light into the world, i c. 3. 19. k c. 3. 17. 2 Mark 16.16. 8 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
