So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him!

So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.
