Chapter 63

43:006:065 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

43:006:066 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

43:006:067 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

43:006:068 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

43:006:069 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

43:006:070 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

43:006:071 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

43:007:001 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

43:007:002 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

43:007:003 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

43:007:004 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

43:007:005 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

43:007:006 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

43:007:007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

43:007:008 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.

43:007:009 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

43:007:010 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

43:007:011 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

43:007:012 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

43:007:013 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

43:007:014 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

43:007:015 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

43:007:016 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

43:007:017 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

43:007:018 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

43:007:019 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

43:007:020 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

43:007:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

43:007:022 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

43:007:023 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

43:007:024 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

43:007:025 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

43:007:026 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

43:007:027 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

43:007:028 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

43:007:029 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

43:007:030 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

43:007:031 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

43:007:032 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

43:007:033 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

43:007:034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

43:007:035 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

43:007:036 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

43:007:037 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

43:007:038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

43:007:039 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

43:007:040 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

43:007:041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

43:007:042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

43:007:043 So there was a division among the people because of him.

43:007:044 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

43:007:045 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

43:007:046 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

43:007:047 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

43:007:048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

43:007:049 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

43:007:050 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

43:007:051 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

43:007:052 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

43:007:053 And every man went unto his own house.

43:008:001 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

43:008:002 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

43:008:003 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

43:008:004 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

43:008:005 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

43:008:006 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

43:008:007 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

43:008:008 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

43:008:009 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

43:008:010 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

43:008:011 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

43:008:012 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

43:008:013 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

43:008:014 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

43:008:015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

43:008:016 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

43:008:017 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

43:008:018 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

43:008:019 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

43:008:020 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

43:008:021 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

43:008:022 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

43:008:023 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

43:008:024 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

43:008:025 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

43:008:026 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

43:008:027 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

43:008:028 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

43:008:029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

43:008:030 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

43:008:031 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

43:008:032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

43:008:033 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

43:008:034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

43:008:035 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

43:008:036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

43:008:037 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

43:008:038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

43:008:039 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

43:008:040 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

43:008:041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

43:008:042 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43:008:043 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

43:008:044 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

43:008:045 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

43:008:046 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

43:008:047 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

43:008:048 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

43:008:049 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

43:008:050 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

43:008:051 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

43:008:052 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

43:008:053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

43:008:054 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

43:008:055 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

43:008:056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

43:008:057 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

43:008:058 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

43:008:059 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

43:009:001 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

43:009:002 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

43:009:003 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

43:009:004 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

43:009:005 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

43:009:006 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

43:009:007 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

43:009:008 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

43:009:009 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

43:009:010 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

43:009:011 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

43:009:012 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

43:009:013 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

43:009:014 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

43:009:015 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

43:009:016 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

43:009:017 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

43:009:018 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

43:009:019 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

43:009:020 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

43:009:021 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 shall speak for himself.

43:009:022 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

43:009:023 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

43:009:024 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

43:009:025 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

43:009:026 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

43:009:027 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

43:009:028 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

43:009:029 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

43:009:030 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

43:009:031 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

43:009:032 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

43:009:033 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

43:009:034 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

43:009:035 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

43:009:036 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

43:009:037 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

43:009:038 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

43:009:039 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

43:009:040 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

43:009:041 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

43:010:001 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

43:010:002 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

43:010:003 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

43:010:004 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

43:010:005 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

43:010:006 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

43:010:007 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

43:010:008 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

43:010:009 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

43:010:010 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

43:010:011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

43:010:012 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

43:010:013 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

43:010:014 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

43:010:015 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

43:010:016 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

43:010:017 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

43:010:018 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

43:010:019 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

43:010:020 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

43:010:021 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

43:010:022 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

43:010:023 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

43:010:024 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

43:010:025 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

43:010:026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

43:010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

43:010:028 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

43:010:029 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

43:010:030 I and my Father are one.

43:010:031 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

43:010:032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

43:010:033 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

43:010:034 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

43:010:035 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

43:010:036 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

43:010:037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

43:010:038 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.

43:010:039 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

43:010:040 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

43:010:041 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

43:010:042 And many believed on him there.

43:011:001 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

43:011:002 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

43:011:003 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

43:011:004 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

43:011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

43:011:006 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

43:011:007 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

43:011:008 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

43:011:009 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

43:011:010 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

43:011:011 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

43:011:012 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

43:011:013 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

43:011:014 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

43:011:015 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

43:011:016 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

43:011:017 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

43:011:018 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

43:011:019 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

43:011:020 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

43:011:021 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

43:011:022 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

43:011:023 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

43:011:024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

43:011:025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

43:011:026 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

43:011:027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

43:011:028 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

43:011:029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

43:011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

43:011:031 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

43:011:032 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

43:011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

43:011:034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

43:011:035 Jesus wept.

43:011:036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

43:011:037 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

43:011:038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

43:011:039 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

43:011:040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

43:011:041 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

43:011:042 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43:011:043 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

43:011:044 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

43:011:045 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

43:011:046 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

43:011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

43:011:048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

43:011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

43:011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

43:011:051 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

43:011:052 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

43:011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

43:011:054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

43:011:055 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

43:011:056 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

43:011:057 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

43:012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

43:012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

43:012:003 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

43:012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

43:012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

43:012:006 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

43:012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

43:012:008 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

43:012:009 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

43:012:010 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

43:012:011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

43:012:012 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

43:012:013 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

43:012:014 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

43:012:015 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

43:012:016 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

43:012:017 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

43:012:018 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

43:012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

43:012:020 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

43:012:021 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

43:012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

43:012:023 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

43:012:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

43:012:025 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

43:012:026 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

43:012:027 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

43:012:028 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

43:012:029 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

43:012:030 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

43:012:031 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

43:012:032 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

43:012:033 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

43:012:034 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?

43:012:035 Then Jesus said unto 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.

43:012:036 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

43:012:037 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

43:012:038 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

43:012:039 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

43:012:040 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

43:012:041 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

43:012:042 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:

43:012:043 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

43:012:044 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

43:012:045 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

43:012:046 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

43:012:047 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

43:012:048 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

43:012:049 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

43:012:050 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

43:013:001 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

43:013:002 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

43:013:003 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

43:013:004 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

43:013:005 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

43:013:006 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

43:013:007 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

43:013:008 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

43:013:009 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

43:013:010 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

43:013:011 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

43:013:012 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

43:013:013 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

43:013:014 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

43:013:015 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

43:013:016 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

43:013:017 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

43:013:018 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

43:013:019 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

43:013:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

43:013:021 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

43:013:022 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

43:013:023 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

43:013:024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

43:013:025 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

43:013:026 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

43:013:027 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

43:013:028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

43:013:029 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

43:013:030 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

43:013:031 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

43:013:032 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

43:013:033 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

43:013:034 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

43:013:035 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

43:013:036 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

43:013:037 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

43:013:038 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

43:014:001 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

43:014:002 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

43:014:003 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

43:014:004 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

43:014:005 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

43:014:006 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

43:014:007 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

43:014:008 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

43:014:009 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

43:014:010 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

43:014:011 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

43:014:012 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

43:014:013 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

43:014:014 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

43:014:015 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

43:014:016 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

43:014:017 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

43:014:018 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

43:014:019 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

43:014:020 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

43:014:021 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

43:014:022 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

43:014:023 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

43:014:024 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

43:014:025 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

43:014:026 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

43:014:027 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

43:014:028 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

43:014:029 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

43:014:030 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

43:014:031 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

43:015:001 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

43:015:002 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

43:015:003 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

43:015:004 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

43:015:005 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

43:015:006 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

43:015:007 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

43:015:008 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

43:015:009 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

43:015:010 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

43:015:011 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

43:015:012 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

43:015:013 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

43:015:014 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

43:015:015 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

43:015:016 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

43:015:017 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

43:015:018 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

43:015:019 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

43:015:020 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

43:015:021 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

43:015:022 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

43:015:023 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

43:015:024 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

43:015:025 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

43:015:026 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

43:015:027 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

43:016:001 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

43:016:002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

43:016:003 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

43:016:004 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

43:016:005 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

43:016:006 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

43:016:007 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

43:016:008 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

43:016:009 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

43:016:010 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

43:016:011 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

43:016:012 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

43:016:013 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

43:016:014 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

43:016:015 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

43:016:016 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

43:016:017 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

43:016:018 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

43:016:019 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

43:016:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

43:016:021 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

43:016:022 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

43:016:023 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

43:016:024 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

43:016:025 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

43:016:026 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

43:016:027 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

43:016:028 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

43:016:029 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

43:016:030 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

43:016:031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

43:016:032 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

43:016:033 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

43:017:001 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

43:017:002 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

43:017:003 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

43:017:004 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

43:017:005 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

43:017:006 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

43:017:007 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

43:017:008 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

43:017:009 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

43:017:010 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

43:017:011 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

43:017:012 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

43:017:013 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

43:017:014 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

43:017:015 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

43:017:016 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

43:017:017 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

43:017:018 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

43:017:019 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

43:017:020 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

43:017:021 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

43:017:022 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

43:017:023 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

43:017:024 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

43:017:025 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

43:017:026 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

43:018:001 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

43:018:002 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

43:018:003 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

43:018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

43:018:005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

43:018:006 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

43:018:007 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

43:018:008 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

43:018:009 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

43:018:010 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

43:018:011 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

43:018:012 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

43:018:013 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

43:018:014 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

43:018:015 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

43:018:016 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

43:018:017 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

43:018:018 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

43:018:019 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

43:018:020 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

43:018:021 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

43:018:022 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

43:018:023 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

43:018:024 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

43:018:025 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

43:018:026 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

43:018:027 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

43:018:028 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

43:018:029 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

43:018:030 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

43:018:031 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
