And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

3 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;’

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;’

9 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

10 And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?’

12 and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — `He is good;’ and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;’

13 no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

14 And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters — not having learned?’

16 Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

17 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.

18 `He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

19 hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?’

20 The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?’

21 Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

22 because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

23 if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

24 judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.’

25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

26 and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

27 but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.’

28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

29 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.’

30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

31 and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — `The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?’

32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

34 ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.’

35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

36 what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?’

37 And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

38 he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;’

39 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

40 Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;’

41 others said, `This is the Christ;’ and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

42 Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?’

43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

44 And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

45 the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?’

46 The officers answered, `Never so spake man — as this man.’

47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

48 did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

49 but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.’

50 Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,

51 `Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?’

52 They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;’

53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.  – Aslan International Ministry 

And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?’

Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.’

These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,’ which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?’

others said — `This is he;’ and others — `He is like to him;’ he himself said, — `I am [he].’

10 They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?’

11 he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;’

12 they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?’ he saith, `I have not known.’

13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

14 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.’

16 Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;’ others said, `How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?’ and there was a division among them.

17 They said to the blind man again, `Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?’

18 and he said — `He is a prophet.’ The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

19 and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?’

20 His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

21 and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.’

22 These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

23 because of this his parents said — `He is of age, ask him.’

24 They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;’

25 he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.’

26 And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?’

27 He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?’

28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;

29 we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.’

30 The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

31 and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

32 from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

33 if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.’

34 They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!’ and they cast him forth without.

35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?’

36 he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’

37 And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;’

38 and he said, `I believe, sir,’ and bowed before him.

39 And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.’

40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?’

41 Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain. – Aslan International Ministry 

After these things there was a feast of the Jews – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Aslan International Ministry

and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?’

The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.’

Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;’

and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

10 the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.’

11 He answered them, `He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;’

12 they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?’

13 But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

14 After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.’

15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

17 And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;’

18 because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

19 Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

20 for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

21 `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

22 for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

23 that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

24 `Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

25 `Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

26 for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

27 and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

28 `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

30 `I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

31 `If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

32 another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

33 ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

34 `But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

35 he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

36 `But I have the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

38 and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

39 `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

40 and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

41 glory from man I do not receive,

42 but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

43 `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

44 how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

45 `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;

46 for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

47 but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?’ – Aslan International Ministry
