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 about him, and said unto him, How
long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be 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 bear witness of me.
26
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
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 good
works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33
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.
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.
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
out of their hand,
40
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized;
and there he abode.
41
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things
that John spake of this man were true.
42
And many believed on him there.
CHAPTER 11
Now a certain
man
was sick,
named
Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2
(It was
that
Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose
brother Lazarus was sick.)
3
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom
thou lovest is sick.
4
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.
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.
7
Then after that saith he to
his
disciples,
Let us go into Judaea 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.
12
Then said his
disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought
that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14
Then said Jesus unto them plainly,
Lazarus is dead.
