BW 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that 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 shall speak for himself. -22 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 syna-gether born in sins, and dost gogne. thon teach us? And they cast him out. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 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. 25 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. 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 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? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and safd unto him, Thou wast afto 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said into him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I bèlieve. And he worshipped him. 39 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. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also 41 Jesus said unto them, Ifye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. CHAPTER X. 9.13 1 Christ is the door, and the good sh herd. 19 Divers opinions of him." Christ the door, and CHAPTER X. the good shepherd. He proveth by his works that he is Christ the Son of God: 39 escapeth the Jews, 91140 and went again beyond Jordan, where many believed on him. ERILY, 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 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. 55 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus junto them; but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say Funto you, I am the door of the sheep. SAll that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 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. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is a 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. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 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. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 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. 19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 22 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 round Christ's unity ST. JOHN. with the Father, about him, and said unto him, 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. How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him; but he es caped out of their hand, 40 And went away again be 25 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. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as Iyond Jordan into the place said unto you. where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them,Many R CHAPTER XL 90 Christ raiseth Lazarus, four days buried. 45 Many Jews believe. 47 The high priests and Pharisees gather a council against Christ. 49 Caiaphas prophesi eth. 54 Jesus hid himself. 55 At the passover they inquire after him, and lay wait for him. good works have I shewed you Now a certain man was sick, from my Father; for which of 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken; 36 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? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.. named Lazarus, of Betha ny, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oint ment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laza rus was sick.) 3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, be hold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unte death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was... Death of Lazarus. CHAPTER XI. 7.Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. 8 His disciples say unto him, 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 walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11 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. Martha's faith. she heard that Jesus was com- 25 Jésus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall be live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Bellevest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, 13 Howbelt Jesus spake of Lord: I believe that thon art his death: but they thought the Christ, the Son of God, that he had spoken of taking which should come into the of rest in sleep. world. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 314 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 316 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as 28 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. 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. 30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31 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. 32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his Jesus raiseth ST.

Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 471 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees ca council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 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. 37 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?. 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 49 And one of them, named the stone. Martha, the sister Caiaphas, being the high of him that was dead, saith priest that same year; said unto him, Lord, by this time unto them, Ye know nothing he stinketh: for he hath been at all, dead four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto 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. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 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 Aud this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nd tion; 52 And not for that nation 42 And I knew that thou hear-only, but that also he should est me always: but because of gather together in one the the people which stand by I children of God that were said it, that they may believe scattered abroad. that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death."
