John Chapter 1

Introduction 

John, One of the twelve Apostles, gives his account with personal experience of heartfelt expression of Love of Jesus to mankind. He presented the three passovers including festival of booths or tabernacle before Jesus' last Passover within the 3 1/2 years of  His ministry. He was well known to or an acquaintance of the High priest John18:15, and He wrote it while residing in Ephesus between A.D 85-90. In his own style as one of the eye witnesses, he clearly expressed himself at the end as the writer. The account contains the true Lord's oratory-prayer in John 17. And he presented God as INVISIBLE, over and over. He also presented Holy SPIRIT of God as a Living water that cleanses/purifies. He presented Christ: as the Light or Maniferster of men in the world 8:12; as the virtuous Shepherd 10:7, and as the Vine 15:1. Also, He is with a flesh given as the true bread for zoe-life instead of manna 6:35, and both zoe-Life and Resurrection are of Christ 11:25. He emphasized Invisibility of FATHER-GOD 1:18 and a total Human-Nature of Jesus, who lived on earth by blood and water 19:34, 1Jh 5:6.

John 1

GOD by HIS WORD Gives LIFE; which is the LIGHT or the Manifester of Mankind: the significance of word. 

1. In early time has been the word, and the word has been towards those who are of God, and the word is of God.

2. the same words had been in early-time towards those who are of God.

3. All things came into being through it, so, not even one thing which happened has come into being, without word.

4. Zoe-LIFE has been in it, and the zoe-Life is to be the Light (manifester) of men.

5. And, the Light is to shine in the darkness, and those of darkness will never grasp/take hold of it. (katalambano).

Introduction of John the baptizer 

6 There happened to be a man sent out from God, and his name is John (the baptizer).

7. This man has come concerning a testimony, at least to testify to everyone, at least to have faith unto the Light through him.

8. This man was not the Light, but at least, he will testify concerning the Light.

9. the One of Light is truthful, who has come into the world to enlighten/shine on everybody. 

10. He has been in the world, and He came into being because of the world, but the world did not know Him.

11. HE has come unto His own (people), and His own did not receive Him;

12. But, as many that have received Him, even to those who have Faith unto His Name, to them have been given the authority to become the CHILDREN. (tekva) of God; - 

13. - those who will be born/given life, not out of blood, neither out of flesh, nor out of the desire of husband/man, but out of the desire of God.

GOD'S Word (through Angel Gabriel) generated Flesh

14 so, the Word generated flesh, to tent/camp among us, and we closely look at His glory, even a glory as of the only begotten from the FATHER, full of Grace (charistos) and truth

John the baptizer introduces the True Light who make Men Manifest their original Life

15 for, John testified concerning Him, by crying out, saying, This has been Whom I was saying, the One coming after me, who I happens to be in front/ahead of Him, but He is first and foremost (in importance) to me.

16 and, out of His completion (of things), we will receive, instead of grace (to a nation - charin) even grace to all (nations-charistos]

17. For the law (parcel) was given through Moses; but Truth came into being, through the Grace of Jesus Christ.

God is INVISIBLE 

18. No man had seen God at any time; And the only begotten, Who is unto the bosom of the FATHER (Father's favorite), that Same Man could explain/unfold things of God.

John screamed with his Voice in the desert

19. This is the evidence-given by John, when the Priests and Levites of the Jews sent towards him from Jerusalem, at least, to ask him: who are you?

20. And he professed and did not refuse, he acknowledged, I am not the Christ 

21 and they asked him, then, who are you? are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you the Prophet? And he responded, no.

22 then, they said, who are you? At least, to give answer to those who sent us: what do you say about yourself?

23 he says, I am the one crying out with voice in the desert: make straight the way of the SUPREME Lord, as said by the prophet Isaiah. (Ref: Isaiah 40:3-4) 

24. And those sent, were from the Pharisees.

25 and they ask him and say to him, why then are you baptizing? (purifying by immersion instead of water sprinkling), if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

26 John answered them and said, I baptize/immerse in water; but, whom you are not aware of is standing in your midst;

27 the One who is coming after me, (and who I happened to be in front/ahead of Him), whom I am not worthy for Him to at least, loosen a lace of His sandal;

28. This Man Who has been in BETHANY (date-house), happened to be across Jordan, where John was baptizing. 

John the baptizer introduced Jesus as The Lamb of God

29. And looking at Jesus coming to him by the morning of the following day; he says, see the LAMB of God, who will take away the sin of the world.

30 that is the One, concerning Whom I said, He will come after me, and Who I happen to be in front/ahead of Him, but He is foremost (in rank) to me.

31 even I, would not have been aware of Him, but at least, by this reason, I have come to baptize in water, to make Him manifest/obvious to Israel. 

32. For, John looks closely to testify, and said, the SPIRIT descend as it were a dove/pigeon from the sky, and stay/remain upon Him.

33 And I would not have known Him; but the ONE Who dispatch me to baptize in water, said to me, upon Whom possibly you discern the SPIRIT descended and stay upon Him, This same Man is the One to baptize (whelm and purify) in Holy SPIRIT.

34. Even I, have clearly discerned and testify that this is the Son of God.

Jesus got one curious disciple called Andrew, who also called his brother Simeon Peter

35. Again, by the morning of the following day, John and two out of his disciples were present, 

36 and he looked on Jesus, walking around, and he said, behold, the LAMB of God!

37. the two disciples, who heard him preached, also follow Jesus.

38. So, Jesus turned about, and look closely at them following Him, and He asks, What are you seeking? So, they say, Rabbi (Master), which is interpreted, a Teacher and they ask - where do you stay?

39. He says to them, come and see. Then they went and see where He stays; and they stay with Him that day. And it was about the tenth hour (4pm).

40. One from the two, who heard from John (the baptizer), and followed Him was Andrew (Manly), the brother of Simon Peter.

41. The same, first and foremost find Simon, his own brother, and says, I have found MASHIACH, which is translated Christ.

42 as he led him to Jesus, Jesus looks on him (as Seer), and says, you are Simon the son of Joahn (Jonah); you will be called Cephas (a Rock), which is translates as Peter (a piece of rock).

JESUS as a Seer, meet another curious disciples: Philip and Nathaniel 

43. Upon the morning of the next day, Jesus determines to depart to Galilee (heathen circle), and find Phillip, and says to him, follow me.

44 So, Phillip is from Betsaida (fishing-house), from the town of Andrew and Peter.

45. And Philip found Nathaniel, and says to him, I have found the Son of Joseph from Nazareth, of whom it was written in the law by Moses and the Prophets.

46. And Nathaniel asks him, can someone good exist out of Nazareth? And Philip says, come and see Him.

47 Jesus sees Nathaniel coming to Him, and speaks concerning him, truly behold an Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.

48. Nathaniel asks Him, from where do you know me? Jesus answers (as a Seer) and says to him, before Phillip calls you, while you are under a fig-tree, I have discerned you.

49. Nathaniel answers Him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel. (he professes his Faith) 

50. Jesus answers and asks him, did you have Faith, because I tell you, I have seen you under the fig-tree? You will see/discern the Great part of these things;

51. And (Jesus) says to him, Amen, Amen (so be it, so be it), I say to you, heaven, opens up (now); and he discerns Angels ascending and descending (from) God to men upon the Son. (Gen 28:12)

John Chapter 2

John 2

Jesus knew it, when His Mother shew that she has Faith in Him, and He changed ablution-water to drinkable wine

1. There happens to be a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and on the third day, the mother of Jesus was there.

2. Even JESUS and His disciples were also invited, into the marriage.

3. And as wine was deficient, the mother of Jesus says to Him, (they) have no wine.

4. And Jesus says to her, woman/house-wife, why you and I have come here? Certainly (no-gainsay), it is My hour.

5. His mother tells the attendants, do anything which He will possibly tells you.

6. There are also six stony water-jars there, according to the purification (ablution) of the Jews, laid outstretched, having space for two or three standard measurers each. 

7 Jesus tells them, fill the entire water-pot with water. And they fill them up to the top. 

8. And He tells them, now, draw out and carry to the chief of the feast. So, they carry it.

9. And, as the Chief of the feast tasted the water that become wine, and was not aware from where it is, but the attendants who draw out the water are aware; the chief of the feast call the bridegroom;

10. and say to him, a man would first of all, set forth a beautiful wine to all the people, and when they got drunk, then the less in quality. But you have reserved the beautiful wine until the present.

11. This miracle by Jesus was done in the early stage, in Cana of Galilee, and it makes His glory to manifest/be obvious, and His disciples have Faith unto Him.

Jesus drives out traders in the temple during the First Passover of His three years ministry;

@ both Capernaum and Jerusalem

12. In the midst of these, He goes down unto Capernaum with His mother and brethren, and His disciples, but He did not stay there for many days.

13. And as the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus goes up unto Jerusalem.

14 And He finds those who are trading oxen and sheep and doves/pigeon, and money brokers, sitting-by, in the temple.

15 And He makes a whip from cords, and cast all the sheep and oxen out of the temple, in addition, He turns the tables of the coins-bank (collybystis) upside-down and pour out their coins.

16. And speaking to those trading/selling pigeons, take these things right away from here; never make the House of My FATHER a commerce-house.

17. and His disciples remembered, that it is written: the zeal of Your house has eaten me up. (Ps 69:9)

18. Then, the Jews respond and ask Him, what sign will You show us, for doing these things?

19. Jesus responds and tells them; break down this temple, and in three days, it will be raised up.

20. Then the Jews says, we constructed this temple for forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?

21. Moreover, on that one, He speaks about the temple of His body.

22. Therefore, when He is raised up out of the dead, His disciples remembered that He has said this, and believe the scriptures and the words which Jesus had spoken.

23. So, as He was in Jerusalem, in the Passover; very many people have Faith unto His Name (authority), having seen the wonders He has done in the feast-holy-day. 

24. But, Jesus absolutely knows, those who are for Him, and everybody do not have Faith unto Him through the same thing. 

25 for He does not even have need of certain men, at least, to testify concerning Him, because, He knows why He has been among men.

John Chapter 3

John 3

JESUS teaches Nikodemus: You must be born/be given Life from ABOVE to be reconnected to the Heavenly FATHER

1 Moreover, there was a man from the Pharisees, and his name is Nicodemus (victorious among people), a chieftain of the Jews;

2. This same man comes toward Him by night, and tells Him, Rabbi, I am aware that you are a Teacher who have come from God: for no-man can do these wonders which you have done, except God is with him.

3. Jesus answers and tells him, Amen, Amen (so shall it be, so shall it be), I tell you, except someone is born/given life, from ABOVE (restore to the state of Adam IN Eden with God's Fatherhood), he can not clearly discern the Kingdom of God. 

4 Nicodemus asks Him, how can a man who is aged be born the second time? Can he enters into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus responds, so be it, so be it (amen amen), I tell you, except, someone is born/given life from the SPIRIT, even from (the living) Water (Jh4:10,7:38,Rev 7:17), he can not enter into the kingdom of God.

6. Those born from the flesh, are of the flesh; and those born/given life from the SPIRIT, are of the SPIRIT.

7 do not wonder that I tell you, you Must be born from ABOVE/TOP.

8. The SPIRIT shall breathe-out on where/whichever spot HE desires, and HIS VOICE shall be heard. And you will be aware from where HE will come but not of where HE will departs to. In this way shall everybody be born/given Life, out from the SPIRIT. 

9. Nicodemus answers and asks Him, how can this happens?

10. Jesus answers and tells him, are these things not known to you, who is a teacher in Israel? 

11. Amen, Amen, I tell you, I am preaching what I am aware of. And I testify of what I have clearly discerned; and you don't receive My testimony/ given-evidence.

12. If I had told you earthly things, and you didn't believe. How will you have Faith in case I tell you heavenly things?

13. Except the sons of Adam (who are in heaven). [like Moses, Elijah and Enoch], even no-one who has ascended into heaven, has descended from heaven.

14 And just as Moses exalted serpent in the wilderness, men MUST likewise exalt the Son. 

15. And, everyone who will have Faith in Him, (will not perish but), at least, will have Eternal Life.

16. No doubt, God selflessly-Loves (agapao) the world, in so much that He likewise gives HIS only begotten Son, at least, everybody who will have Faith in Him will not perish, but at least have Eternal Life.

17 for God has not sent the Son into the world, to at least judge the world, but at least to save the world through Him.

18 those who have Faith unto Him will not be judged, however those who do not believe have been judged even now, because they do not have faith unto the Name/Authority of the only begotten Son of God.

19. However, judgment will be on these ones, because, Light has come into the world, and men love darkness more than the Light, because their work has been of evil.

20. For, everyone who repeatedly practise evil, hate the Light, and will not come toward the Light, at least for his deeds not to be reproved (controlled);

21. But, those who do (obey) the truth, will come towards the Light, at least, their deeds will be obvious/made apparent, because they will be working in God.

John the baptizer eulogizes Christ, and stops the envy of his disciples

22. In the midst of this, Jesus came into the land of Judeans, and His disciples spend time with them there and were baptizing (in water).

23. Moreover, even John has been baptizing in Aenon (place of springs), near Salim, because there is water there; and many people came there to be baptized.

24. There is no-gainsay that, John will be thrown into the prison.

25 then, there happens to be a question from the disciples of John about purification/ablution among the Jews.

26, and they come towards John and tell him, the Rabbi (Jesus), Who was with you across river Jordan, of Whom you testified; behold, the Same Man is baptizing and all men have gone towards Him.

27. John answers and says, a man cannot receive, any thing, except it is given to him from heaven.

28 You testify of me yourselves, that I said, I am not the Christ, and that, I am sent ahead of Him.

29. The bridegroom is the one who possesses the bride; but the joy of the friend of the bridegroom is to stand and rejoice to listen to the voice of the bridegroom; because He is my joy, and therefore I am fulfilled by this.

30. The Same Man must grow/increase, however, I will decrease in rank.

31 The One Who comes from above is up-above all, and those who are from the earth, are out of the earth, and preaches from the earth. but the One Who has come from heaven is up-above all.

32. And that Man has heard and clearly discerned what He testifies, but no-man will receive the evidence He gives.

33. However, those who will receive His testimony, have stamped (attested to) it, that God is True;

34. For, Whom God has sent to preach the utterances (rhema), has not been given the SPIRIT of God out of a measure (limited portion).

35. For the FATHER selflessly-Loves the Son, and has given all things into His Hands.

36 Those who have Faith unto the Son have Eternal life; however, those who are unpersuaded about the Son (willfully and perversely), have not clearly discern Life, but the wrath of God stays upon them.

John Chapter 4

John 4

JESUS delivers a message of acceptable-worship to the INVISIBLE SPIRIT-God in Samaria:

1. Therefore, as Jesus knows, that the Pharisees have heard, that Jesus makes more disciples/students and baptizes than John;

2. - Even though Jesus Himself did not baptize (with water) but His disciples (did), 

3. HE left Judea, and go away again unto Galilee.

4. But, He must travels through Samaria.

5 then, having come into a town of Samaria, called Sychar (Shekar) near a plot of ground which Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.

6. And, Jacob's well-water was there. Then, Jesus, being TIRED from the journey, likewise sat down upon the well-water. And it was about the sixth hour (12pm).

7. So, a woman comes out of Samaria to draw out water. And Jesus asks her, give Me (water) to drink.

8. For, His disciples have gone away into the city, at least, to buy food;

9. Then, the woman of Samaria tells Him, how will you, being a Jew, asks to drink from me, being a woman of Samaria? For the Jews do not deal together with Samaritans.

10. Jesus answers and tells her, if you are aware of the Gift of God, and Who is asking you, give Me (water) to drink, you possibly would have asked Him, and He would have possibly given you a Living-water.

11. the woman tells the Lord, you do not even have drawing equipment for it, and the well-water is deep; then, from where will You have the Living water?

12. Are You our great father, Jacob, who gave us the well-water, and he, his sons and livestocks drank from it? No

13. Jesus answers and tells her, everyone who drink from this water, will thirst again;

14. But, whoever possibly drink from the water which I will give him, will never thirst, unto ages. On the contrary, the water, which I will give him, will gush out and become a fountain of water unto Eternal Life in him.

15. The woman says towards the Lord, give me of that one, at least, (I will) never thirst, and will not come here to draw out water.

16. He tells her, go away and call your husband, and come here.

17. The woman answers and says to Him, I do not have a husband. Jesus says to her, it is well spoken, that you do not have a husband;

18. For you have had five husbands, and now, whom you have, is not your husband; you have truly spoken this. 

19. The woman tells the Lord, I see that you are a Prophet.

20. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and you say that, the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.

21 Jesus says to her, woman, have Faith in me. The hour has come, when you will neither worship the FATHER on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem. 

22. You are worshipping whom you are not aware of; we worship whom we are aware of; for, salvation is from the Jews.

23. The hour is coming and on the contrary, it is Now, when the truthful worshippers will worship the FATHER in the SPIRIT and Truth; because, even the FATHER seeks such to worship HIM.

24 GOD is SPIRIT, and those who will worship HIM, must worship in the SPIRIT and Truth. 

25. The woman tells Him, I am aware that Mashiach is coming, who is called Christ, whenever He comes, (He) will announce all things in detail to us.

26. Jesus tells her, I AM, the One Who is preaching to you.

Agape-love transcend religious enmity between Jews and Samaritan

27 and upon this thing, His disciples came and wondered, for preaching with the woman. Even though no one asks, what are You seeking? Or why preaching with her?

28. The woman then left her waterpot, and went away into the town, to tell the men,

29. Come here, and see a Man Who has told me everything, as many as, I have done. Is this not the Christ?

30. So, they proceed forth out of the town, and come towards Him.

Jesus teaches on evangelism and He keeps it simple (KIS) 

31. In the meantime, the disciples ask Him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

32. But, He says to them, I have food to eat, of which you are not aware of.

33. Then, the disciples say towards one another, has someone ever offered Him something to eat?

34. Jesus tells them, my food is to do, at least, the desire of the ONE Who sent Me, and to complete HIS works.

35. You do say, isn't there four months yet, for the harves to come? Behold, I tell you, raise up your eyes, and closely look at the farm, they are already white (very-light) towards reaping.

36 as you will receive wages for harvesting fruits even by gathering unto everlasting Life; at least, the one who sow and the one who harvest will be cheerful at the same time.

37 for in this, is the truthful words: that as one sow even another will reap.

38. I will send you out to reap what you have not worked-hard for; because, another one will work-hard, and you will enter into his labour.

Samaritans have faith in Jesus; the only means that unite the whole world.

39. So, many Samaritans from the town, have faith unto Him; through the word of the woman who testified that, He told me of all things, as much as I have done.

40 Therefore, as the Samaritans come towards Him, they demanded from Him to stay with them, and He stays there for two days.

41. And many more people have Faith, through His words;

42. In addition, they tell the woman, we no longer have Faith through your speech; for we have heard by ourselves and we are aware that truly, this is the Saviour of the world.

Jesus is welcome back to Galilee 

43. Moreover, within two days, He proceeds forth from that place, into Galilee. 

44 however, Jesus Himself had testifes that, a Prophet has no honour in his own native town (father-land), 

45 therefore, when He comes into Galilee, the Galileans accepts Him, as much as they have seen all the things (He) did, in the festival (holy-day) in Jerusalem; because, they also went to the festival.

Miracles are the evidence given to support gospel: a Son of a royal-officer of Herodian, was healed (Lk 8:3)

46. He therefore goes again unto Cana of Galilee, where water was made into wine. And there has been a certain royal-official, whom his son was sick in Capernaum.

47. The same man heard that Jesus from Judea arrive here into Galilee, and goes away towards Him, to at least ask Him to come down, and cure his son; who is about to die off.

48. Then Jesus tells them, except they see signs and wonders, they will never have faith.

49. The Royal-official man tells Him, Lord, come down before my child die off.

50. Jesus tells him, go forth, your son lives, the man believed the word that Jesus tells him, and go away.

51. So, as he is going down, his servants met him, and tell him, your son lives already. 

52. then, he enquires from them, the hour in which he get more well; and they therefore tells him, by seventh hour (1pm) yesterday, the fever (with high temperature) left him.

53 therefore, the father knows that, (it was) in that same hour, in which Jesus told him: your son lives, and himself and the whole family have Faith.

54. This again is the second time Jesus did a miracle, as He goes out of Judea into Galilee.

John Chapter 5

John 5

The Second Passover during the 3 1/2 years-ministry of Jesus and the Healing at the pool of Bethesda (Bethzatha) on sabbath day (where healing angel never say a word to the people Mk 8:26) 

1 There will be a feast/holiday of the Jews in the midst of this, and Jesus pgoes up unto Jerusalem.

2. But, there is a bathing-pool in Jerusalem, having upon it, five sheepish galleries/verandahs called Bethesda (house of kindness) in Hebrew (Aramaic tongue).

3. In these (place) are many sick people who are blind, lame and withered, lying down, [expecting water stirring].

4 [for according to a set-time, as Angel descend in to the bathing-pool, to stir the water; then, anyone who step-in first amidst the disturbance, shall become healthy, of whatever disease that continues to hold him down even at the time]

5 So, a certain man has been there for thirty-eight years, who has infirmity in him.

6 and Jesus sees him, lying down, and know that he has held on to it for a long space of time already, and ask him, do you desire to become healthy?

7. The man who was sick answers the Lord, I do not have a man, to at least throw me into the pool; of which as I am going in, whenever the water is stirred; another will go down before me.

8. Jesus tells him, arise, lift up your mattress, and walk. 

9. And the man immediately become healthy, and take up his mattress, and walks around. However, that day was a Sabbath day.

10. Therefore, the Jews say to the one ministered healing to; it is not right/lawful for you, to lift up your mattress on the sabbath day. 

11. To whom also he answers, the One who made me healthy, the Same Man told me, lift-up your mattress and walk.

12. Then, they interrogated him, who is the man, that told you to lift up (mattress) and walk?

13. But, the one who was healed did not know who He is, because Jesus slip/set off into the crowd who were in the place.

14. In the midst of this, Jesus finds him in the temple, and tells him, behold, you have become healthy, do not sin any longer, at least, for something worse  not to happens to you.

15 And the man went away and announce (in detail) to the Jews, that, it is Jesus, who made Him well.

16. And because of this, the Jews persecute Jesus, for, this thing was done on the Sabbath day.

Jesus teaches the people concerning the supremacy of the FATHER God to His mission and ours

17. Moreover, Jesus answers them, My FATHER is working till now, so even I will be working. 

18 therefore by this reason, the Jews seek the more to kill Him. For, He has not only broken the Sabbath, but also called God His own FATHER, and doing things of God's equal by Himself.

19. Therefore, Jesus answered and told them, So be it, Amen, I tell you, the Son can not do anything from Himself, provided He has not looked at the things the FATHER is doing; for, whatever possibly The SAME (FATHER ) does, these are the things even the Son is similarly doing.

20. For, the FATHER likes (philie) the Son and shows Him all things which He has  done; and the Same (FATHER) will show Him, a great work, at least, for you to wonder.

21. No doubt, just as the FATHER raises up and revitalize (make alive) the dead, even the Son likewise will revitalize (make to live) whoever desires.

22. For, the FATHER does not even judge anyone, but has given the judgment of everybody to the Son.

23. At least, for all the people to honour the Son, just as the FATHER is honored. Those who do not honor the Son, do not honour the FATHER, Who sent Him.

Eternal Life or Judgment; the choice is yours

24 So be it, Amen, I tell you, that those who hear My words, and have Faith, have Eternal Life, and will not come into judgment of the ONE WHO sent Me, but have passed from death unto Life.

25 So be it, I tell you, and so shall it ve, that the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who had listened shall live.

26. Because, just as the FATHER has Life in HIMSELF, likewise even the Son is given to have Life in Himself.

27 And He is given the authority to execute judgment on men, because , He is the Son.

28. Do not be marvelled at this, for the hour is coming, in which, everybody who is in the graves will hear the voice of the Same (Son),

29 and they will proceed out. Those who have done good things, unto Zoe-Life by resurrection; and those who have (habitually) practised vicious things, unto judgment by resurrection.

30. I can not do anything out of Myself. I wll judge, just as I have heard; and My judgment will be righteous/fair. For, I do not seek My desire, but the desire of the ONE WHO sent Me.

Jesus pointed at three out of five evidences that confirm His assignment: if His own testimony and that of John the baptizer is refuted, the Miracles, the voice of the Father-God and the Scriptures must not be doubted.

31. In case  I bear witness about Myself, My testimony will not be true.

32. There is another who bear witness about Me, and I know that the testimony which He testified about Me was true.

33. You have sent towards John (the baptizer), and he testified to the truth,

34. However, you did not receive My testimony from the man, but he had said those things, at least for you to be saved.

35 the same (John) has been a lamp, kindled to shine; and you desire to jump for joy toward an hour in his light.

36. But, I have the greatest testimony over (that of) John. For the works which the FATHER has given Me, at least to complete them, that same works which I am doing, testified about Me, that the FATHER has sent me.

37. And the Same FATHER, Who sent Me, has testified about Me, Whom you have neither heard HIS voice, nor see HIS shape/fashion at any time before. 

(this is shocking: God is Invisible, so, Adam was never created in the image/shape of God; Adam was created in the image of Angelic Elohim in Genesis 1) 

38. And you do not have HIS words abiding in you, because, you do not believe the One, Whom HE has sent. 

39. You think by searching the scriptures, you will have Eternal Life, for in it, are those ones who testified about Me;

40. But, you did not determine to come towards Me, at least, to have zoe-Life.

41. No man will take/receive the glory. 

42. But, I absolutely know you, that you do not have the selfless-Love of God in yourselves.

43. I have come in the Name (authority) of My FATHER, and you do not receive Me; in case, another man comes in his own name, you will receive that one.

44. How can you have faith, by receiving glory from one another, and never seek the glory from God alone?

45. Do not think that I will blame/accuse you towards the FATHER. Moses, in whom you have hope/confide was the one who had blamed/accuse you. (Ex 32:9, Deut 9:6)

46 for, if you had believed Moses, you would have possibly believed Me; because, the same Moses wrote concerning Me (Deut 18:15).

47 So, if you had not believed his writings, how will you believe My words?

John Chapter 6

John 6

Miracle-food that Feed, at least five thousand men

1. Amid these, Jesus goes away, across the sea of Tiberias in Galilee (heathen-circle). 

2 And, many multitude followed Him, because they have seen the miracles which was performed upon those who were sick.

3 So, Jesus goes up unto the mountain, and sits down there, with His disciples.

4. And the Passover-feast of the Jews, also has been very close. (the 2nd one)

5. Jesus then lifts up His eyes, and look closely at many crowd that comes towards Him, and He says toward Philip (fond of horses), from where can loaves of bread be purchased at least, for these ones to eat?

6. He says this to test Him; because, He knows what He intended to do.

7. Philip answers Him, two hundred denarii (ten asses/pence) loaves of bread are not sufficient for them, at least each-man will receive few quantity of something.

8 Andrew, one of His disciples who is a brother of Simon Peter, tells Him;

9 there is a little child here, who has five barley loaves of bread, and two cooked fish-sauce, but what are these, unto so many?

10 Jesus says, make the people to recline. For there has been much grass in the place; then, the fellow-men who recline, were about five thousands in number.

11. So, Jesus takes the bread, and likewise from the fish-sauce and expresses gratitude, and they are distributed to (the disciples and the disciples to) those reclining for meal, as much as they desire.

12. However, as it were, they were satisfied, and He told His disciples, collect the excess pieces, at least, that anything does not perish.

13. They therefore collect and fill up twelve baskets of pieces from the five barley loaves of bread, which are in excess from what was eaten.

14. Then, the people who have seen the miracle He has done, say, this is truly the Prophet who is coming to the world.

Miracles of walking upon the sea

15. Jesus then knows that they intend to come and catch/seize (harpazo) Him, at least to make Him King; so, He withdraws again unto the mountain by Himself alone.

16. So, as it happens to be evening, His disciples travel down on the sea,

17 and having embarked unto a ship, going across the sea unto Capernaum; it has become dark already, and Jesus has not come towards them.

18. The mega part in addition is the blowing of the fully aroused wind of the sea 

19. Therefore, having rowed/pushed about twenty five or thirty measure of stadium distance (three or four miles), they saw Jesus WALKING upon the sea, and as He happens to be near the ship, they were afraid.

20 So, He tells them, it is Me; do not be afraid.

21. Therefore, they immediately receive Him into the ship and the ship happens to be upon the land into which they desire to go.

The Major work to be done for God is to have Faith in Jesus 

22. Upon the morning of the following day, the multitude who stand across the sea, saw that, there was no other boat there, except the one His disciples had gone away with, and because Jesus did not entered into the boat, but only His disciples;

23. but a ship has come from Tiberias lake, near the place where they ate bread that the Lord blessed;

24. therefore, when the multitude see that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they embarked unto the ship and go to Capernaum, to seek for Jesus.

25. and they found Him across the sea, and tell Him, Rabbi, when did You happen to be here?

26. Jesus answers them and say, Amen, Amen, I tell you, you do not seek Me, because you saw the MIRACLES, but because you ate from the bread and you were filled.

27. Do not labour for food that will perish, but for FOOD of zoe-Life that will stay unto ages, which the Son has given to you, because this thing has the Father God sealed/endorsed for men.

28. they say towards Him, what work/deed shall we do, at least to labour for God?

29. Jesus answers and tells them, this is the work/deed of God, at least, have Faith unto Whom HE has sent.

People request for a sign like the Food from heaven by Moses in the wilderness. 

30. Therefore, they ask Him, what sign that can be seen will You at least do then? Why should having faith unto you be the working?

31 our fathers ate "WHAT is of record" (mna), in the wilderness, just as it is written, he (Moses) gave them bread out of heaven to eat. (Ex 16:4, Neh 9:15, Ps 78:24)

32. Jesus then tells them, Amen, Amen, I tell you, Moses has not given you the true bread from heaven, but the FATHER has given Me a bread from heaven for you.

33 for, a bread of God is of Him Who has come down out from heaven to give zoe-Life to the world.

34 then, they say toward Him, Lord, give us this bread always.

In Jesus is the true gift and sacrificial bread of Life from heaven

35. Jesus tells them, the bread of Life is of Me; those who come towards Me, will never be hungry, and those who have Faith unto Me, will never thirst at any time.

36. I tell you, you have seen Me, but you do not believe.

37 All whom the FATHER has given to Me, will arrive here toward me, and those who has come towards me, will never be cast outside.

38. For, I come down out of heaven, at least not to do My own desire, but the desire of the ONE WHO sent me.

39 So, this is the desire of HIM, Who has sent Me, at least, I should not lose from all those who are given to Me, but to raise them up in the last day.

40. For, this is the desire of My FATHER, at least, all who have seen HIS Son, and have faith unto Me, will have everlasting Life; and they will be raised up, in the last day.

Jesus was rejected by His own people

41. the Jews then grumbled about Him, for saying, the bread Which come down from heaven is of Me.

42 and they are asking, is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whom we are aware of His father and mother? How is He then saying, I come down from heaven? (ref: vs 38)

43. Jesus answers and tells them, do not grumble with one another.

Those who will be saved will come 

44 Moreover, no-man can come to Me, except the FATHER, Who sent me, has drawn him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

45. As it was written by the Prophets: and they shall be taught all things of God. (Is 54:13). All who will listen and learn from the FATHER, will come towards Me.

46. For, no person has seen/clearly discerned the FATHER, except the One who is from God; That One has clearly discerned the FATHER.

47 Amen and Amen; those who will have Faith (in Me), shall have everlasting Life.

The Flesh of Jesus is the true bread of Life from heaven, just like "What is of Record" (mn-na) in the wilderness

48 the bread for zoe-Life is of Me

49. Your fathers ate what is of record (mna) in the wilderness, and died.

50 This is the bread that come down from heaven, and at least, any person who will eat out of the Same, will never die off.

51. the Living-bread which comes down from heaven is of Me; in case anyone eats from this bread, he will live unto ages. And the bread which I will ALSO give, is My Flesh, for the sake of zoe-LIFE of the world.

52. The Jews then argue towards one another, saying, how can This Man give us His flesh to eat?

53. Then, Jesus tells them, Amen and Amen, I tell you, in case, men do not eat the flesh of the Son and imbibe/drink His blood, they will not have zoe-Life in themselves.

54. Those who eat My flesh, and imbibe my blood, will have everlasting Life, and I will raise them up in the last day.

55 No doubt, My flesh is the TRUE food (brosis), and My blood is the TRUE drink (posis).

56 those who will chew (break down/rightly divide) My Flesh (His words) and drink/imbibe My blood (His sacrifice), will abide in Me and I in them.

57 Just as the Living FATHER has sent Me, and I live through the FATHER, those who feed on Me also, will similarly lives through Me.

58. This is the bread which come down from heaven; it is not as your fathers had eaten and died off. Those who chew/grub on this bread will live unto ages.

59. He said these things as He teaches in the synagogue at Capernaum.

Many disciples turned back, but for the twelve, no turning back.

60 Therefore, many from His students/disciples, heard and say, this word is hard/tough; how can it be listened to? 

61. Jesus was aware in Himself, that His disciples/learners grumble about this, and He tells them, should this thing entice you to apostasy?

62 therefore, will men be seeing the Son (as spectators), in case, He is ascending to wherever He had been before?

63 it is the SPIRIT that revitalize/make alive; the flesh benefit no man. The utterances (rhemata) which I preach to you, they are of the SPIRIT and they are of Zoe-Life.

64 But, there are certain persons out of you, who do not have Faith. For, Jesus was aware from the early stage, those who are not believing, and who is the one who will betray Him.

65 And He says, by this reason, I speak to you, that no man is able to come toward Me, except it is given to him from the FATHER.

66. From these time, many out of His disciples go backward, and no longer walk around with Him.

67. Then, Jesus says to even the twelve, why will you not want to withdraw?

68 Simon Peter answers Him, Lord, towards who shall we go? You have the utterances (rhemata) of everlasting Life?

69 and we have Faith, and absolutely know that You are the Holy One of God (the Christ, the Son of the Living God).

70. Jesus answers them, haven't I chosen twelve, and out of you, one is of the devil?

71 Moreover, He talks of Judah Iscariot (inhabitant of kerioth), son of Simon (ref: Lk 7:40), because the same man, who was one of the twelve will betray Him later.

John Chapter 7

John 7 

Sukkot (8 days festival of booths in eighth months (oct)) before the last Passover experienced by Jesus 

1. And in the mid of this thing, Jesus was walking around, in Galilee; for He did not determine to walk in Judea, because the Jews seek to kill Him.

2 However, the feast of Booth (as tabernacle are erected outside as temporary home) for the Jews is near.

Familiarity of blood-brothers of Jesus breed comtempt 

3. His brothers then tells Him, depart from here, and go into Judea, Your disciples at least, will see the works, which you are doing.

4. For no person who is seeking to be in public (all out-spoken), will be doing anything in secret by himself. If you are doing these thing, show-case Yourself to the world.

5 for, even His brothers did not have Faith unto Him.

6. Jesus then tells them, there is no-gainsay, My time is very near, but the time pertaining to you, could be made ready at all times.

7. The world can not hate you; but (they) hate Me, because I testify about them, that their deeds are evil.

8. You, go up into the feast (of booth), For I will not go up into the feast at this (time). Certainly (no-gainsay), My set-time will be fulfillled.

9. So, He told them these things, as He stays in Galilee.

JESUS teaches the wisdom of God, along the path of Mercy

10. Moreover, His brothers went up unto the feast (of tabernacle), and at a time, Himself also goes up as though in secret, but not publicly. 

11 Therefore, the Jews seek Him in the feast, and ask, where is He?

12. And there is very much murmuring about Him in the crowd. Some indeed say, that He is good; but others also say, No; He deceives the people.

13. Though no-man indeed frankly preach about Him, because of the fear of the Jews.

14. However, now in middle of the feast (of booth), Jesus went up unto the temple, and teaches.

15 then the Jews wonder, and ask, how does this man, who never learn, know letters/grammar?

16. Jesus then answers them and says, My teachings are not Mine, but of the ONE WHO sent Me.

17. Whoever, in case, choose to do HIS desire, will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or I preaches it out of Myself.

18 the one preaching out of himself, seek his own glory; but the One seeking the glory of THE ONE who sent Him, this One is True, and no wrong (injustice) is in Him.

19. Was it not Moses who gave you the law, and no man out of you obey the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?

20. The crowd answers, you have a demon; who is seeking to kill you?

21 Jesus answers and tells them, do one work and everybody will wonder.

22. By this reason, Moses gave you circumcision, not because it is from Moses, but, from the fathers, and you circumcise men, on Sabbath day.

23 if a man receive circumcision on Sabbath day, and the law of Moses at least, was not broken, why are (you) enraged with Me that a man is made every-whit healthy on a Sabbath day?

24. Never judge according to the sight/appearance, but judge by a righteous judgment.

People disagree with the way Christ came to the world 

25 Therefore, some person from Jerusalem say, is this not whom they seek to kill?

26 and behold, He preaches frankly, and nothing is said to Him, at any time. Do the Rulers truly know that, this is the Christ?

27. But, we are aware, where this man is from. Moreover, whenever Christ will come, no man will know where he will be from.

28 then, Jesus screams in the temple, as He teaches and says, you may be aware where I am from; and I am aware, I have not come out by Myself, but the ONE Who sent me is truthful, Whom you are not aware of.

29. I am aware of HIM, because I am from HIM, and HE has sent Me.

30. Then, no man could lay hand upon Him. Certainly/no gainsay, their hour will come because they seek to arrest Him.

31. However, many from the crowd believed unto Him, and say, whenever Christ will come, He will not do more wonders than what this One has done?

Attempt to arrest Him during Sukkot failed by the subordinate-officers

32. As the Pharisees heard the crowd, murmuring these things concerning Him, they send the subordinate-officers of Chief-priests and the Pharisees, to at least, arrest Him.

Jesus predicted leaving the world physically

33. Jesus then says, I am still with you for a little space of time, and I will go towards the ONE Who sent Me.

34. You will seek but not find Me; and where I am, you will not be able to come.

35 the Jews then, ask towards themselves, where is He about to travel to, that we will not find Him? Is He intending to travel unto the Diaspora in Greek (Israelite residents in other countries), even to teach the Greeks (Hellen)?

36. What is this word which He said, you will seek but not find Me; and where I am, you will not be able to come?

Holy SPIRIT baptism like overflowing of Living water is certain and sure

37 Moreover, on the last mega day of the feast, Jesus stands, and screams, saying, in case any man thirsts, come towards Me and drink.

38 Those who have Faith unto Me, just as, it was said in the scriptures, freshet (overflowing running water) of Living water will flow out of their belly.

39. Moreover, He said this thing about the SPIRIT, WHOM certainly, those who believe unto Him are about to receive, because, it is so certain (no argument) that Jesus will be glorified by the SPIRIT.

Moses had misrepresented Christ as A Prophet: a reason for the confusion. 

40. Then, some, out of the multitude, who heard these words, say that, this is truly the Prophet.

41. Others said, is this the Christ? Others also said, Christ will never come from Galilee.

42. Hasn't the scripture says that Christ will come from the offspring of David, and out of Bethlehem, the the village where David had been?

43. Therefore, a schism happened to be in the crowd because of Him.

44. Even as some persons out of them determine to arrest Him, no man on the contrary, lays hand upon Him. 

The reason for the failure of the officers in verse 32

45 then the subordinate-officers come towards the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, and they ask them, by what reason have you not brought Him?

46. The officers answers, never at any time has a man preached the way, {even as this man has preached}.

Pharisees reject Christ except Nicodemus

47. The Pharisees then answer them, haven't you been deceived?

48 Hasn't anyone out of the Rulers or out of the Pharisees believe unto Him (now)?

49. But, the crowd do not know this thing is accursed (imprecated) by the law. 

50. Nicodemus, being one of them, who had previously gone unto the Same Jesus in the night; says towards them, 

51 our law does not judge a man, except first of all, we formerly hear from Him, and know what is to be done?

52. They answered and told him, are you not also from Galilee? Search and you will see that a prophet is never raised up from Galilee. 

53. #[[[ and as each man travels unto their house; - 

John Chapter 8

John 8

The wisdom of God, saves by justifying a sinner/beset the sins of a sinner

1. Jesus however travels unto mount Olive.

2 Moreover, early in the morning, as He, again approaches unto the temple, all the people come towards Him; and He seats down to teach them.

3. But the Scribes (secretary) and the Pharisees bring a woman (house-wife), seized upon adultery, and she was set in the middle.

4. And they tell Him, Teacher, this woman was seized upon the actual crime of committing adultery.

5. But in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such; therefore, what do you say?

6. But, they have said this, to test Him, at least, to have things to accuse Him of. However, Jesus stoops down, and writes things unto the ground with a finger.

7. Moreso, as they continue to request from Him, He lifted up Himself, and told them, the sinless one among you, should first of all, throw stone upon her.

8. And again, He stoops down, writing things unto the ground.

9. So, having heard Him [and being convicted under conscience], they go out one by one, starting away from the Presbyters (till the last), and they abandon only (Jesus and the woman, who was in the middle)

10 So, Jesus rises up (and see no man besides the woman), He tells her; Woman, where are those people who had accused you? Hasn't any man condemned you?

11. So, she says to the Lord, not even one man. Jesus also says to her, I do not even condemn you; go away and no longer sin from now]]]#

Jesus is the Light/Manifester of mankind 

12. Then, Jesus again preaches to them, saying, I am the Light of the world; whoever follows Me, will never walk in darkness, but shall hold on to things of Light of zoe-Life. (Ps 56:13)

Jesus cited the testimony of FATHER-GOD on His ministry

13. The Pharisees then tell Him, You testify about yourself; so, your testimony is not true.

14. Jesus answers and tells them, Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, because, I am aware of where I come from and where I am going to. But, you are not aware of where I come from and where I will go.

15. You judge according to the flesh, but I am judging no man.

I AM not ALONE 

16. Moreover, even in case I judge, My judgment is truthful; because, I AM NOT ALONE, but, it is I and the FATHER, WHO has sent Me.

17 And as it is also written in your law; the testimony by two men shall be true.

18 As I am testifying about Myself even the FATHER Who sent Me has testified about Me.

19. They ask Him, where is your Father? Jesus answers, You do not know Me nor My FATHER. If you had known Me, you would have possibly known My FATHER. 

20 These words He preached in the treasury (temple court for collection boxes); and as He teaches in the temple, no man arrested Him. Certainly, their hour will come.

Jesus predicted His ascension 

21 Then, He tells them again, I will go away, and wheresoever I will go, you cannot come to seek for Me, and you will die in your sin; 

22. The Jews then say, if at all, will He kill Himself, for He says, where I will go, you cannot come?

You will soon know Who I AM

23. And He tells them, you are from beneath, I am from above; you are from this world, I am not from this world.

24. Therefore, I tell you that, you will die in your sin, in case you do not believe Who I Am, you will die in your sin.

25. Then, they tell Him, who are you? Jesus tells them, I have preached that to you at the early stage.

26. But I have many things to say and to mentally decide (judge) about you. The ONE Who sent Me is True, and I have been preaching these things unto the world, even what I have heard from HIM. 

27. They did not know that He speaks of His FATHER.

The Father never forsake the Son

28. Jesus tells them, by the time, the Son will be elevated (exalted) by men, they will know Who I AM, and I have done nothing out of Myself, but, I preach these things, just as the FATHER has taught Me.

29. And the ONE Who sent Me, is with Me; and will NEVER FORSAKE Me, for I always do only the things pleasing/agreeable to HIM.

30. And as He preaches these words, many people have Faith unto Him.

The Truth of the Gospel gives freedom 

31. Then, Jesus says towards the Jews who believe Him, in case you abide in My words, you are truly My disciples.

32. And you will know the truth, and the truth will liberate/exempt you (as a citizen).

33. They answer towards Him, we are Abraham's offsprings, and no one is a slave at any time; how will You say, we will become free (citizen)?

34. Jesus answers them, Amen and Amen, I tell you, that all, who commit sin, are slaves of sin.

35. No servant/slave abide in the house unto ages; but sons abide unto ages.

36. Therefore, provided, you are liberated as a son, you shall be really free.

JESUS is occupying the Position of the Lord of the earth (last Adam) over Abraham and Abraham's offsprings

37. You are aware of being offsprings of Abraham; but you seek to slay me, for you do not give My words a space in you.

38. Therefore, I preach what I clearly discern from the FATHER; and you are doing what you have heard from your fathers. 

39. they answer and tell Him, Abraham is our father. Jesus tells them, if you were Abraham children, you would do the deeds of Abraham.

40. But now, you seek to kill Me, a Man who preaches the truth, which I heard from God to you. Abraham would not do this.

Jews professed God as Father by mouth but their actions is of the devil 

41. You are doing the deeds of your fathers. They tell Him, we are not begotten from harlotry, we have one God the Father.

42. Jesus tells them, if God were your father, you would possibly love me, for I proceed forth and even arrived here from God: for I have not even come away from Myself; but the Same God had sent Me.

43. why is it that you do not absolutely know My preaching? Because you can not listen to My words.

44. You are from devil father, and you have determined to do the longings of your father, the same devil father had been a muderer from the ancient times, and did not stand-fast in the truth, for there is no truth in IT. Whenever IT preaches a lie, It preaches from it's own self, because IT is a father of liars.

45. Moreover,  I speak the truth: oh, that you do not believe Me!

46 which of you had convicted Me concerning sin? And if I have spoken the Truth, why did you not believe Me?

47. Those who are from God, listen to the utterances of God; you are not from God, and by that reason, you did not listen. 

The Jews accuse Jesus of having demon

48. The Jews answer and tell Him, haven't we said rightly/well, that You are of the Samaritans, and has demon?

49. Jesus answers, I have no demon, but I honor My FATHER, and you despise Me.

50 moreover, I do not seek My glory, and those who seek it will be judged.

51. AMEN and Amen, I tell you, in case any person keep My words, he will Never SEE Death unto ages.

52 The Jews tell Him, we now know that you have demon. Abraham died and the Prophets, and You say, in case any person keep your words, he will not TASTE death, unto the ages.

53. Are You at all as great as our father, Abraham, who had died? Oh, even the prophets died! what do You make of Yourself?

54. Jesus answers, in case I esteem Myself glorious, My glory is nothing. My FATHER is the ONE Who glorify Me: of whom you say, HE is our God.

55 And you do not know HIM, but I know HIM; and if I say that, I don't know Him, I would be a liar like you. On the contrary, I know HIM and hold fast to HIS words.

56. Your father, Abraham, was glad to discern and would have leapt for joy, to at least see My days.

The Jews vote for torah-Jubilee prescribed in Mosaic law, instead of the days of Christ

57. Therefore, the Jews say towards Him, no gainsay that Abraham discerned it, so, why having fifty-years? (the provision of Jubilee in the law)

58 Jesus tells them, amen and amen, I tell you, IT is of Me, and it happened to be before Abraham. 

(Jesus meant, the Jubilee (50 years)) 

59. Therefore, they took up stones, at least to throw upon Him; but Jesus ws hidden and proceeds forth out of the temple, (passing through their midst, and thus went away).

John Chapter 9

John 9

A congenial blind man receives sight: sin is not always the cause of problems

1. And while passing along, Jesus saw a man, who was blind from birth.

2. And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who has sinned: this man or his parents, at least to be born blind?

3. Jesus answers, neither this man has sinned nor his parents; but at least, to make the deeds of God obvious in him.

4 I must labour  when it is daytime on the work of the ONE WHO sent Me, until night comes, when no man can work. 

5. When I Am in the world, I am the Light/Manifester of the World.

6. Having said this, He spit saliva earth-ward, and made a thing out of clay, and He smear the clay over the eyes.

7. And He says, Go away and be cleansed in the pool of Siloam (in Jerusalem), which is translated, be sent out (apostello). Therefore, he went to perform  ablution, and receive his sight and went away.

8.Then, the neighbors and those who see him before, that he had been a blind beggar, say, is this not the one sitting down to beg?

9 Some say, he is the one, others say, not indeed, but he is similar to him. But the same man, says that, I am.

10. Then they ask him, how then did your eyes opened up?

11. he answers, the Man called Jesus made clay, and smear over my eyes; and told me, go away unto pool of Siloam and perform ablution, then, I went away and washed, and I recovered my sight.

12. And they ask him; where is that man? He says, I'm not aware.

The Pharisees pursue the man that recover his sight out of the temple 

13 so they brought the same man, who was blind in the past, towards the Pharisees.

14 howbeit, it was on Sabbath day in which Jesus made clay, and opened up his eyes.

15. Then, the Pharisees again asks him, how he had recovered his sight? Moreover, he tells them, by putting clay upon my eyes, I washed, and I can see.

16 Then, someone from the Pharisees says, that Man is not from God, because, He does not keep the Sabbath. However, another says, how can a sinful man do such wonders? And there is a schism among them.

17. Then, they ask the one who was blind, again, what do you say about Him for opening your eyes? However, he says, He is a Prophet.

18. therefore, the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received sight, until when the parents of the same man who receive sight, were called.

19. And they ask them, saying, is this your son, who you say that, he was born blind? how then does he see thing from now?

20 then his parents answer and say, we are aware that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

21. But, we are not aware of how he can see from now, or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he has things of maturity, he will preach about it himself.

22 his parents said this, for, they fear the Jews; no doubt, the Jews have already consented, in case  any-person at least, profess Him as Christ, the same will become excommunicated (put out of synagogue). 

23 Because of this, his parents said, he possesses maturity, ask him.

24 Then, they call the man who had been blind, out, the second time, and tell him, give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

25 Then, the man answers, I am not aware, if He is a sinner. But one thing I am aware of is that, I was blind, but from now, I can see.

26. Then, they ask him, what did He do to you? How did He open up your eyes?

27 He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you desire to hear again? Are you not even desiring to become His disciples?

28. And they mock him, and say, you are a disciple of that One; but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God preached to Moses, but as of this man, we do not know where He is from.

30. The man answers, and tells them, no doubt, this is to be wondered at, in that you do not know where He is from and He has opened my eyes.

31 We know that God does not hear sinners; in case, any person is pious (reverent to God), and does HIS desire, he will be heard.

32 it has not been heard from ages, that any person open up the eyes of one born blind.

33 if this man has not been from God, He cannot do anything.

34. They answer and tell him, you were born altogether in sin, and will you be teaching us? And they cast him out.

If you can truly see, you will discern by sight

35 Jesus heard that, they have ejected him outside, and having found him, He says; man, do you have faith unto the Son?

36 And he answers, and says, who is He, Lord, at least, I will have faith unto Him?

37 Jesus tells him, you have seen Him, even the One preaching with you, the Same is He.

38. And he says, I believe, Lord, and he prostrates in worship to Him.

39. And Jesus says, I have come into the world unto this decision making (personal judgment), at least, those who never see things, will look at the thing, and those who have become blind will also see the thing. 

40 and those from the Pharisees who are with Him heard these things. And they ask Him, we are not blind, are we?

41 Jesus tells them, if you were blind, you would not possibly have a sin; but now, you say that, we are looking at the things; so your sins will remain.

John Chapter 10

John 10

Parable of a Good Shepherd and a stranger 

1. Amen and Amen, I tell you, the one who do not enter through the door, unto the sheep yard, but climb up from elsewhere, the same is a thief and a robber. 

2. But, the one who enter through the door, is the Shepherd of the sheep.

3. The door-watcher will open up to this one and he will call his own sheep by name, and the sheep will hear his voice and will lead them out.

4 And whenever he drives out his own, he will travel in front of all of them, and his sheep will follow him, because they know his voice.

5. However, they will not follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of a stranger.

6 Jesus tells them this adage; but they did not know what it is, which He preaches to them.

Jesus is the True Door for the sheep 

7. Then, Jesus tells them again, Amen and Amen, I tell you, I am the door to the sheep.

8 all the people, as many that came before me, are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them. (ref: Act 5:36-37)

9. I am the entrance door; in case any person enter through Me, he shall be saved, and he will enter in and proceed forth to find pasture.

10. A thief has not come, except at least to steal, and slaughter for sacrifice and to fully-destroy. I have come, at least (for you) to have zoe Life and to possess it superabundantly.

Jesus, the Good/Virtuous Shepherd and Pastor 

11. I am the virtuous Shepherd. The good Shepherd who will lay down His Soul for the sheep:

12. A hired-servant, who is not the shepherd, whose the sheep are not his own, will see a wolf coming, and run away, forsaking the sheep; and the wolf will scatter them and be caught up (harpazo) 

13 because, he is a hired servant, and he does not care about the sheep.

14. I am the virtuous Shepherd; I know those who are mine, and mine know Me.

15 just as the FATHER knows Me, and I know the FATHER; I will lay My Soul down for the sheep.

16. And I have other sheep, which are not from this fold/yard; they must be brought to Me likewise and listen to My voice; and become one Flock of one SHEPHERD.

17. By this reason, the FATHER selflessly loves Me, for I lay down My Soul, at least to receive the same Soul again.

18. No man take IT away from Me, but I lay IT down out of My own Self. I have the authority to lay IT down, and I have the authority to receive IT again. I have received this injunction from My FATHER. 

19 A schism again happens within the Jews, through this words;

20. Many also from them say, He has demon, and is insane; why are you listening to Him?

21 others say, these are not the utterances of a demon possessed man. Can demon ever open up a blind eyes?

The Good Shepherd knows His Sheep (during 8 days feast from 25th of Chislev (mid-December)). 

22 It happens to be a feast of inauguration/renewal (egkainia-dedication after Antiochian interruption) at this time, it is rainy season (winter) in Jerusalem.

23. And Jesus walks around in the temple, in the gallery of Solomon.

24. Then the Jews surround Him, and tell Him, till when will our souls be lifted? Tell us frankly, If you are the Christ.

25 Jesus answers them, I have talked to you and you did not believe. Even the works/deeds which I have done in the Name (authority) of My FATHER, these had testified about Me.

26. But, you have not believed, because you are not of My sheep.

27. My sheep will listen to My voice, and they will follow Me, and I will absolutely know them;  

28 and I will give them eternal Life; and they will never perish unto the ages, and no person will catch/seize (harpazo) them out of My Hand.

29 My FATHER WHO has given them to Me, is the GREATEST of all; and no man can snatch them out of the FATHER's Hand.

30. it is one same thing to Me and the FATHER 

They want to stone and arrest Jesus

31 the Jews then carry stones again, at least to stone Him.

32 Jesus responds to them, I have shown you many good deeds, from the FATHER; for which of the same works did you stone Me?

33. the Jews answers Him, we will not stone You for a virtuous deeds, but, for blasphemy, and that You, being a Man, do things of God on Your own.

34. Jesus answers them, is it not written in your law that, I said you are mighty ones/leaders (elohim)? (Ps 82:6)

35 If the same people towards whom the words of God was said, happened to break the scripture of God, you CAN not.

36. How will you say of Whom, the FATHER has made Holy/consecrated and sent into the world, to have blasphemed, because I said, I am the Son of God?

37. Do not believe Me, If I am not doing the works/deeds of My FATHER.

38. And, if you do not believe Me, believe the works/deeds I do, at least, you will absolutely know, even (as I) know, that the FATHER is in Me, and I am in the FATHER.

39. Then, they seek to arrest Him again, and He proceeds out of their hands.

Believers across Jordan now believes Jesus through the former preaching of John.

40. And He went away again across the Jordan, unto the place where John was baptizing at first, and He dwell there.

41. And many people are coming towards Him, saying indeed, John did no miracle; but all things, as much as John has spoken about This Man, was true.

42. And many have faith unto Him, there. 

John Chapter 11

John 11

Lazarus was raised up from the dead on the fourth day

1. Moreover, a certain Lazarus (El-Aza) of Bethany (date-house) has been sick, from the village of Mary and Martha (mistress), her sister.

2. However, this was Mary who oil (anoint) the Lord with myrrh-perfumed-ointment, and wipe His feet dry by her hair; whose her brother Lazarus, was sick.

3. Then, the sisters sent towards Him, saying, Lord, behold, the one you like (philei) is sick.

4. However, Jesus heard and said, this sickness is not towards death, but, for the glory of God, at least to esteem the Son of God glorious through it.

5. But, Jesus selflessly-Loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6 Therefore, as He heard that he was sick, He indeed stays at the time for two days, in the place, which He had been.

7. Afterwards, in the midst of this, He tells the disciples of going unto Judea again.

8. So, the disciples tell Him, Rabbi, the Jews at present are seeking to stone you, and why are you going there again?

9. Jesus answers, are there not twelve hours a day? In case any person walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he can see by the light of this world;

10. But, in case, any person walks around in the night, he will stumble, because, light is not in it.

11. Amidst talking this thing, He tells them this, Lazarus, our friend is put to sleep; but, I will go, at least to wake him from sleep.

12 The disciples then tells Him, Lord, if he is sleeping, he is saved.

13. However, Jesus spoke about his death; but, they think that He was speaking about taking rest by sleep.

14. Then at a time, Jesus plainly tells them, Lazarus has died.

15. And I rejoice, at least you will believe through it, because I was not there, but, we will go towards him.

16. Thomas, who is called didymus (twin), then, tells the fellow-disciples, should we die off amidst it, at least, let's go.

Resurrection and Life is of Jesus Christ

17. Therefore, Jesus went and found him, already held in the tomb, for four days. 

18. Moreso, Bethany is near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia-course/miles away. 

19. However, many people, out of the Jews, have come towards Martha and Moriah/Mariam, at least to console them concerning their brother.

20. Then, as Martha hears that Jesus has come, she went to meet Him; but, Moriah/Mariam was in the house, sitting down. 

21. Martha then says towards Jesus, Lord, if You had been here, my brother possibly would not have died.

22. even now, I know that, as much as You possibly ask from God, God will give You.

23. Jesus tells her, your brother will rise up.

24. Martha tells Him, I am aware that, he will rise, in the last day, in the resurrection of the dead.

25. Jesus tells her, Resurrection and zoe-Life is of Me; those who have faith unto Me, even if they die, they will live;

26. And everyone, who is living, and have faith unto Me, will never die unto ages. Do you believe this?

27. She answers, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, The One Who would come into the world.

Jesus hate Death and it is the last enemy to be destroyed 

28. And having said this, she went away, and called Moriah/Mariam, her sister, privately, saying, the Teacher is here present, and He is calling you.

29. The same also as she heard, quickly rose from sitting down, and came towards Him.

30. Certainly (no gainsay), Jesus will come into the village, but He is still in the place where Martha met Him.

31. Then, the Jews who are with her and consoling her in the house, see Moriah/Maria, that she quickly stood-up and went out; so, they followed her, thinking she is going away unto the tomb, at least to weep there.

32. Then, as Moriah/Maria comes to where Jesus has been, and sees Him, she fell towards His feet, telling Him, Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have possibly died.

33. Therefore, as Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who followed her weeping, He was agitated in his own self and by the SPIRIT, He was OVERWHELMED/snorted with anger,

34. And He says, where did you place him. They tell Him, Lord, come and see.

35. Jesus shed tears.

36. Then the Jews say, behold, how much He likes him!

37. Some people also from them say, can't this Man who opened the eyes of the blind, at least, make this one not to die?

The miracle of revitalizing/to make alive now

38. Then, Jesus was OVERWHELMED/snort with anger again in Himself, as He comes into the tomb. Moreover, It is a cave, and a stone rest upon it.

39. Jesus says, take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the one who died tells Him, Lord, he stinks already, because, it is the fourth day.

40. Jesus tells her, didn't I tell you, that in case you believe, you will see the glory of God.

41. Then, they lift up the stone. Moreover, Jesus lifts His eyes up above, and says, FATHER, I am grateful that You have heard Me.

42. And I am aware that YOU always listen to Me; but, I say this, because of the crowd standing around; at least, they will at least believe that You sent Me.

43. And having said this, the mega part is His voice that cried out, Lazarus, (come) outside here.

44. The man who died came forth, his feet and hands were bound with winding-strips, and his face enwrapped with towel. Jesus tells them, loosen him, and allow him to go his way.

The Plot to kill Jesus 

45.Then, Many people out of the Jews who come towards Moriah/Maria, to look closely at what has been done, have Faith unto Him.

46. Some people from them go away towards the Pharisees, and tell them what Jesus did.

47. Then, the Chief priests, and the Pharisees assembled for a joint session (Jews Sahendrin), and say, what shall we do? Because, this Man is performing many wonders.

48. In case, we leave him this way, all men will believe unto Him, and the Romans will come, and take us away even to places of the heathen-nations.

49. So, one person from them, Caiapha (the dell), being the High priest in that year, tell them, no, you know nohing!

50. You don't even reckon that, it is of advantage for us, that one Man should die at least for the people, and not the whole nation to perish.

(in John's opinion) 

51. But, he said this, not out of himself, but, being a high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the heathen-nations.

52. And not only for that sake, but at least to assemble the scattered heathen-nations into one, even as children of God.

53. Then from that same day, they take counsel to at least, kill Him.

54. Therefore, Jesus no longer publicly walked among the Jews, but went away from there, unto a region near the wilderness, into a town called Ephraim, and abide there with the disciples.

The last Passover of the Jews celebrated by Jesus (March/April) 

55. Moreover, the Passover of the Jews is near, and many people will go up unto Jerusalem from the regions, at least to purify themselves towards the Passover.

56. Then they seek after Jesus, and speak with one another in the temple, that what do you think, will He not come unto the feast?

57. So, the Chief Priests and the Pharisees gave an injunction, at least, in case any person know where He is, to indicate anyhow, to arrest Him.

John Chapter 12

John 12

Moriah/maria expressed Agape-Love by giving her all, to anoint/oil the body of Jesus in the house of a Pharisee, called Simon (son of a leper) (ref: Lk 7:40). 

(note: the name Moriah maria (H4179) means female-Teacher of the disobedient) 

1. Then, six days prior to Passover, Jesus came into Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus raised up out of the dead, was. 

2. Then, a supper was made for Him there, and Martha served. Lazarus also was one of those sitting at the table together with Him. (inside the house of a pharisee, Simon, Lk 7:40) 

3. Then, a loyal/faithful Moriah/mariam, take a liter of a valuable/very costly myrrh-perfumed spikenard ointment, to oil the feet of Jesus, and wipe His feet by her hair; and the house was fully filled with the scent from the myrrh-perfume.

4. Judah Iscariote (inhabitants of Keriote), one of His disciples, who will betray/surrender Him, say, howbeit, 

5. —by what reason should this myrrh perfume not be sold for three hundred denarii (ten asses/pound), and be given to the poor?

6. However, he said this, not that he cares about the poor, but, he had been a thief, and hold the purse/bag, that bear the things cast. 

(that was also John's opinion) 

7. Jesus then says, leave her alone: at least she preserved the same body unto the day of My interment:

8. For, you will have beggars always among yourselves; but you will not have Me always.

There is a Plot to even kill Lazarus because some Jews had left Judaism (Religion established by Moses) because of him.

9. Much crowd from the Jews therefore know that He is there; and come, not because of Jesus only, but, at least to even see Lazarus, whom He had raised out of the dead.

10. So, the Chief-priests took counsel, at least, to kill Lazarus,

11. Because many of the Jews, through him, will be led to have Faith unto Jesus.

Royal entry to Jerusalem 

12. Upon the morning of the next day, much crowd, who heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem, come unto the feast,

13. they take branches of PHOENIX/palm leaves (symbol of immortality/renewal), and proceeded forth to meet Him and cry out; Hoshian-na (oh save now)! Blessed is the One coming in the NAME (Authority) of the SUPREME Lord; oh, the King of Israel! (Ps 118:26)

14. So, Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it, just as it is written:

15. daughter of Zion, fear not; behold your King is coming, sitting upon a foal of donkey. (Zach 9:9)

16. His disciples did not at first know, that, this thing is for Jesus, but when they have done these things to glorify Him, then, they remembered, these things had been written upon Him.

17. Therefore, the multitude who were with Him, when Lazarus was called out of the grave, and raised up from the dead testified of Him. 

18. And because of this, the crowd who heard of this miracle done by Him, go to meet Him. 

19. Then, the Pharisees said towards themselves, don't you see that we benefit/gain nothing? Behold, the world has gone behind Him. 

The Visitation of people of heathen-Nations to Jesus, called for attention 

20. There were certain Greeks (Hellen) also, out of those who go up, at least to worship in the feast;

21. Then, the same people approached Philip, who is from Bethsaida (fishing house) of Galilee (1:44), and ask him saying, we want to see the Lord Jesus.

22. Philip goes to tell Andrew; and Philip and Andrew come to tell Jesus.

23. So, Jesus answers them and say, the hour has come to at least glorify the Son by men.

24. So be it, Amen; I tell you, except a grain of wheat fall into the earth, and die, it will stay alone; but in case it died, it will bears plenteous fruits.

25. Those who like (phileo) their souls, will lose it, and those who love their souls less, in this world, will preserve it unto eternal Life. 

26. In case any person will follow Me, he will serve; and where I am, My servant also will be there. And in case, any person serve Me, My FATHER will honor him.

Jesus, the Emperor and the First in Rank in the worldis about to be ejected out. 

27. And He says,  how much My Soul is agitated now? FATHER save Me from this hour. But, I have come unto this hour, because of this. 

28. FATHER, YOUR Name will be glorified. Then, a voice came out of heaven: even IT shall be glorified and will be esteemed glorious again. 

29. Then, the crowd who stand and hear, says, thunder is generated. Others say, Angel preaches to Him.

30. Jesus answers and say, this voice is generated, not because of Me, but because of you.

31. Now, there will be a judgment by a  ruler of this world, and now will this Man be ejected outside the word. 

32. In case, I am exalted, even I will draw all people out of the earth towards Myself.

33. But, He said this, signifying what sort of death, He will die of.

Walk in Jesus; the Light/Manifester of mankind 

34. Then, a man out from the crowd answers Him; we have heard of the law, that Christ will abide unto ages, how will you say that, the Son must be exalted by men? Who is the Son?

35. Jesus then tells them, in a little space of time, will the Light still be among you. Walk around as those who have Light, at least for darkness not to eagerly seize you. For, those who walk in the darkness, are not aware of where they are going.

36. As you have the Light, have Faith unto the Light, at least, to become the sons of the Light. Jesus preached these things, and went to hide away from them.

Rhetoric around the mind of unbelievers according to prophet Isaiah.

37. Moreover, so vast are the Miracles He has done in their presence, but they did not have Faith unto Him.

38. At least, the words of Prophet Isaiah is fulfilled, who said, who will believe our report/things heard from the SUPREME Lord? And Who will reveal the arm of the SUPREME Lord ? (Is 53:1)

39. Because they cannot believe this thing, Isaiah said again,

40. Their eyes are blinded and their hearts are porous/clogged, not to at least see by their eyes and to exercise mind by their heart, and turn back, and be cured. (Is 6:10)

41. Isaiah said this, because he was aware of His Glory and preached concerning Him.

Walk in the Light and not in darkness 

42. Though, at the same time indeed, even many out of the Rulers happened to have faith unto Him, but because of the Pharisees, they did not profess/acknowledge Him, at least, not to be excommunicated/put out of synagogue.

43. No doubt, they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.

44. So, Jesus screamed and said, those who believe unto Me, had not believed unto Me, BUT unto The ONE Who dispatch Me (on a mission);

45. and those who behold (theoreo) Me (as spectators), are beholding (as spectators) the ONE WHO dispatch Me (on a mission). 

(note: vs 45 is never controversial. Some came to look at him as in a theatre while serious ones came to discern him) 

46. I have come as the Light into the world, at least all men, who have Faith unto Me, will not abide in darkness.

47. And in case any person hear My utterances (rhematon), and never keep them, I will not judge him, for, I have not come to at least judge the world, but at least to save the world.

48. Those who disesteem Me and do not receive My utterances (rhema), will have themselves to be judged: the words (logos) that I have preached, the same will judge them in the last day.

49. For, I have not preached out of Myself, but the FATHER HIMSELF WHO dispatched Me, gives Me the injunction (mandate) on what I should say, and what I should preach.

50. And I am aware that HIS injunction is of Eternal Life. Therefore, what I have preached is just as the FATHER has spoken to Me and I have preached likewise. 

John Chapter 13

John 13

Devil is the one that throws evil thoughts into the heart of man

@ Tuesday night of the 3rd and last Passover celebrated by Jesus Christ

1. Moreover, prior to the feast of Passover, Jesus was aware that His hour is coming, at least, to depart from this world towards the FATHER. He selflessly loves His own, who are in the world and will selflessly-love them, unto the uttermost end. 

2. And there happens to be a supper, and devil already throws into the heart of Judah Iscariote (son of) Simon (the Pharisee of Lk 7:40), at least to betray Him,

3. Having known that, FATHER has given all things into His hands, and that He proceeded away from God and will go towards God, 

4. He rises up from the supper, and place aside the dress, and take apron to gird Himself tightly. 

The Teacher demonstrated humility by example 

5. Afterwards, He pour water into a basin, and begin to perform ablution on the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them dry, with the apron by which He was girded.

6. Then, as He came towards Simon-Peter, he tells the Lord, are You the One to wash my feet?

7. Jesus answers and tells Him, you are not aware of what I have been doing, but from now, and in the midst of these things, you shall absolutely know. 

8. Peter tells Him, You shall never unto ages wash my feet. Jesus answers Him, in case, I don't wash you, you have no portion with Me.

9. Simon-Peter tells Him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and head.

10. Jesus tells him, the one who has bathed, has no need to perform ablution except his feet. But, for you to be clean, you should be clean every whit, but not everybody indeed.

11. For He was aware of the one who will betray Him; and because of that, He said you are not all clean.

12. Then, when He cleansed their feet, and take His dress, and sit down again, He tells them, do you know what I did?

13. You call Me, Teacher and Lord, and it is well spoken, for so I am.

14. If then I, the Lord and Teacher, wash your feet, even you must wash the feet of one another.

15. For, I have given you an example, at least, just as I have done to you, even you should do.

16. So be it, Amen, I tell you, a servant is not great to his lord, not even an apostle (the sent), great to the one who dispatch him (on a mission).

17. If you know this, and in case you do it, you will be supremely blessed.

Jesus predicted His betrayal 

18. I do not speak about all of you. I am aware of whom I choose, but at least the scripture will be fulfilled: the one chewing bread with Me, will lift his heel upon Me. (Ps 41:9)

19. I tell you from now, before it happens, at least for you to believe whenever it happens that I Am.

20. Amen and Amen, I tell you, those who possibly receive whoever I dispatch, receive Me; Moreover, those who have received Me, received the ONE Who sent Me.

21. Having said this, Jesus was agitated and testified by the SPIRIT, saying, Amen and amen, I tell you, one out of you will betray Me.

22. The disciples look unto one another, being uncertain about whom He speaks. 

John, a disciple that Jesus selflessly-love was in best position to ask 

23. There is one who out of His disciples, reclining in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus selflessly-loved.

24. Simon Peter then signal to him, (and tells him) to ask, concerning whom He speaks (who could he possibly be)?

25. The same person thus, fall back upon the chest of Jesus, and ask Him, Lord, who is he?

26. Therefore, Jesus answers; the person to whom I will give, upon dipping/wetting a mouthful of bread, therefore, He dipped/wet the mouthful of bread, and takes it and give it to Judah Iscariote, (son of) Simeon.

27. And, at a time amid the sop, satan enters into this person. Then, Jesus tells him, what is to be done, do it quickly.

28. But, no one sitting at the meal, absolutely know this thing, and towards what He spoke to him;

29. For certain persons think, since Judah is holding the purse, that Jesus told him, to buy the things which they have need of, unto the feast; or to give at least something to the poor.

30. Then, having received the sop, the same person went out immediately; however, it was night. (of Tuesday) (to be continued in chapter 18)

A new covenant law from Jesus Christ (@ the Last supper of Jesus) 

31. When, he went away, Jesus says, now, the Son will be esteemed glorious by men and God will be glorified/magnified in Him.

32. If God will be glorified in Him, even God will immediately glorified Him in HIMSELF, for HIM to be glorified

33. Little children (new Christ believers), I will still be with you for a little while; and just as I said to the Jews, even I tell you this, you will seek Me from now, but where I go hence, you will not be able to come;

34. I will give you a New-age Injunction (Mandate), at least, selflessly-LOVE (agapate) one another; just as I selflessly-Love you. At least, even you should selflessly-LOVE one another.

35. In this, you will absolutely know, all that are My disciples, in case, you have selfless-LOVE (agape) among one another.

Jesus predicted that Peter will deny knowing Him

36. Simon Peter tells Him, Lord, where are You departing to? Jesus answers, where I go, you can not follow Me now; but you will follow afterwards.

37. Peter tells Him, Lord, by what reason and why can't I follow you from now? [I will lay down my soul for You] 

38. Jesus answers, will you lay down your soul for Me? Amen and amen, I tell you, no cock will crow, till you will deny (renounce) Me three times.
