him.

And Jesus said: I am come to judgment into this world, that they which see not might see, and they which see might be blind.

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we blind also? –

And Jesus said unto them: If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We have sight; abide in your sin.
(John)
Chapter 10
Of Christ the good shepherd and his sheep. Item, whether he is the Messiah.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but goeth in by other means, the same is a thief and a murderer.

But he that goeth in at the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

To him the doorkeeper openeth, and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

And when he hath let his sheep go, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

But they follow not a stranger, but flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

This saying said JEsus unto them: but they heard not what it was that he spake unto them.

Then said JEsus unto them again: Verily, verily, I say unto you: I am the door to the sheep.

All that came before me were thieves and murderers, but the sheep hearkened not unto them.

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

A thief cometh not, but to steal, and to choke, and to kill.

I am come that they may have life and full sufficiency].

I am a good shepherd: a good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. But a hireling that is not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth the sheep, and scattereth them.

But the hireling fleeth: for he is an hireling, and regardeth not the sheep.

I am a good shepherd, and know mine own, and am known unto mine own, 15. As I know my Father, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.

And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. And these I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and shall become one fold, and one shepherd].

Wherefore my fathers love me, that I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

No one takes it from me, but I take it from myself. I have power to leave it, and I have power to take it again. Such a commandment have I received of my Father.

And there was dissension among the Jews concerning these words.

Many of them said: He hath the devil, and is foolish: why hear ye him?

And the rest said: These are not the words of one possessed; can the devil open the eyes of the blind?

And it was the feast of Jerusalem, and winter.

And JEsus walked in the temple, in the hall of Solomon.

And the Jews compassed him about, and said unto him, How long wilt thou keep our souls?
If thou be Christ, tell us freely.

Jesus answered them: I have told you, and ye believe not. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness of me.

But ye believe not: for ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

For my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

And I will give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of mine hand.

The Father that gave them me is greater than all; and no man can pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

I and the Father are one.

And the Jews again heaped up stones, that they might stone him.

Jesus answered them: Many good works have I shewed you of my Father: for what work among these do ye stone me?

And the Jews answered him, and said: For the good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and that thou art a man, and makest thyself a god.

And JEsus said unto them, Is it not written in your law? I said, Ye are gods?

If he name the gods, unto whom the word of God was spoken (and the scripture cannot be broken),

Say ye then unto him whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest God, because I say that I am the Son of God?

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

But if I do them, believe the works; if ye will not believe me, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.

And they sought again to take him, but he escaped out of their hands.

And he went again beyond Jordan unto the place where John had baptized before, and abode there.

And many came unto him, and said: John did no sign: but all that John hath said of this is true.

And there believed many in him.
(John)
Chapter 11
Raising of the deceased Lazarus.

And there was one sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, in the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Now Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointments, and wiped his feet with her hair: and Lazarus his brother was sick. –

And his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

And when JEsus heard it, he said, The sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of GOD, that the Son of GOD might be honoured thereby.

And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

And when he heard that he was sick, he tarried two days in the place where he was.

And afterward he saith unto his disciples, Let us return into Judaea.

And his disciples said unto him, Master, that time the Jews wished to stone thee, and thou wilt go thither again?

Jesus answered, Are not the day twelve hours? He that walketh by day stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

But he that walketh by night stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

These things said he, and afterward saith he unto them: Lazarus, our friend, sleepeth; but I go to wake him up.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, it shall be better with him.

And Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he spake of sleep in the flesh.

Then said JEsus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that ye might believe. But let us go unto him.

Then said Thomas, which is called a twin, unto the disciples, Let us go with him, that we may die with him.

Then came JEsus, and found him that he had been four days in the grave.

And Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, by fifteen highways.

And many Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

And when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him: but Mary sat at home.

And Martha said unto JESUS, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; 22. But I also know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.

And JESUS saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

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

Jesus saith unto her: I am the resurrection, and the life. He that believeth on me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live;

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Do you believe that?

And she saith unto him, Lord, yea, I believe that thou art Christ, the Son of God, which is come into the world.

And when she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee.

The same, when she heard it, arose in haste, and came unto him.

For JEsus was not yet come into the village, but was yet in the place where Martha met him.

And the Jews which were with her in the house, when they comforted her, seeing Mary arise in haste, and go out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the sepulchre to weep there.

And when Mary was come where JEsus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, and said unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

When JEsus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he was moved in spirit, and grieved himself.

And said, Where have ye laid him? And they said unto him, Lord, come and see.

And JEsu’s eyes went out.

And the Jews said, Behold, how he loved him!

And some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the blind cause him also not to die?

And again Jesus was moved with rage within himself, and came to the sepulchre. And there was a cleft, and a stone laid thereon.

And Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him: Lord, he stinketh already: for he hath lain four days.

Jesus saith unto her, Did not I say unto thee, if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

And they took down the stone where the dead man lay. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

Yet I know that thou hearest me always: but for the sake of the people that stand round about, I say it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

When he had
