耶稣与撒马利亚妇人谈道

主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒施洗比约翰还多 (其实不是耶稣亲自施洗,乃是他的门徒施洗), 他就离了犹太,又往加利利去。 必须经过撒马利亚 于是到了撒马利亚的一座城,名叫叙加,靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因走路困乏,就坐在井旁。那时约有午正。 有一个撒马利亚的妇人来打水,耶稣对她说:“请你给我水喝。” 那时门徒进城买食物去了。 撒马利亚的妇人对他说:“你既是犹太人,怎么向我一个撒马利亚妇人要水喝呢?”(原来犹太人和撒马利亚人没有来往。) 10 耶稣回答说:“你若知道神的恩赐和对你说‘给我水喝’的是谁,你必早求他,他也必早给了你活水。” 11 妇人说:“先生,没有打水的器具,井又深,你从哪里得活水呢? 12 我们的祖宗雅各将这井留给我们,他自己和儿子并牲畜也都喝这井里的水,难道你比他还大吗?”

喝主所赐之水永远不渴

13 耶稣回答说:“凡喝这水的,还要再渴, 14 人若喝我所赐的水,就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里头成为泉源,直涌到永生。” 15 妇人说:“先生,请把这水赐给我,叫我不渴,也不用来这么远打水。” 16 耶稣说:“你去叫你丈夫也到这里来。” 17 妇人说:“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说:“你说没有丈夫是不错的。 18 你已经有五个丈夫,你现在有的并不是你的丈夫。你这话是真的。” 19 妇人说:“先生,我看出你是先知。 20 我们的祖宗在这山上礼拜,你们倒说,应当礼拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。”

须用心灵诚实拜父

21 耶稣说:“妇人,你当信我。时候将到,你们拜父也不在这山上,也不在耶路撒冷 22 你们所拜的你们不知道,我们所拜的我们知道,因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。 23 时候将到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心灵和诚实拜他,因为父要这样的人拜他。 24 神是个[a]灵,所以拜他的必须用心灵和诚实拜他。” 25 妇人说:“我知道弥赛亚,就是那称为基督的要来,他来了,必将一切的事都告诉我们。” 26 耶稣说:“这和你说话的就是他。”

27 当下门徒回来,就稀奇耶稣和一个妇人说话,只是没有人说“你是要什么?”,或说“你为什么和她说话?”。 28 那妇人就留下水罐子,往城里去,对众人说: 29 “你们来看!有一个人将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了,莫非这就是基督吗?” 30 众人就出城,往耶稣那里去。

耶稣以遵行父意为食物

31 这其间,门徒对耶稣说:“拉比,请吃。” 32 耶稣说:“我有食物吃,是你们不知道的。” 33 门徒就彼此对问说:“莫非有人拿什么给他吃吗?” 34 耶稣说:“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意,做成他的工。 35 你们岂不说,到收割的时候还有四个月吗?我告诉你们:举目向田观看!庄稼已经熟了[b],可以收割了。 36 收割的人得工价,积蓄五谷到永生,叫撒种的和收割的一同快乐。 37 俗语说:‘那人撒种,这人收割。’这话可见是真的。 38 我差你们去收你们所没有劳苦的,别人劳苦,你们享受他们所劳苦的。”

39 那城里有好些撒马利亚人信了耶稣,因为那妇人作见证说:“他将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了。” 40 于是撒马利亚人来见耶稣,求他在他们那里住下,他便在那里住了两天。 41 因耶稣的话,信的人就更多了, 42 便对妇人说:“现在我们信,不是因为你的话,是我们亲自听见了,知道这真是救世主。”

耶稣在本地无人尊敬

43 过了那两天,耶稣离了那地方,往加利利去。 44 因为耶稣自己作过见证说,先知在本地是没有人尊敬的。 45 到了加利利加利利人既然看见他在耶路撒冷过节所行的一切事,就接待他,因为他们也是上去过节。

医大臣之子

46 耶稣又到了加利利迦拿,就是他从前变水为酒的地方。有一个大臣,他的儿子在迦百农患病。 47 他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利,就来见他,求他下去医治他的儿子,因为他儿子快要死了。 48 耶稣就对他说:“若不看见神迹奇事,你们总是不信!” 49 那大臣说:“先生,求你趁着我的孩子还没有死就下去。” 50 耶稣对他说:“回去吧,你的儿子活了!”那人信耶稣所说的话就回去了。 51 正下去的时候,他的仆人迎见他,说他的儿子活了。 52 他就问什么时候见好的,他们说:“昨日未时热就退了。” 53 他便知道这正是耶稣对他说“你儿子活了”的时候,他自己和全家就都信了。 54 这是耶稣在加利利行的第二件神迹,是他从犹太回去以后行的。

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman

Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A) although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.

Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)

The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(G) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(H)

11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(I) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.(J) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(K) welling up to eternal life.”(L)

15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(M) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17 “I have no husband,” she replied.

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(N) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(O) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(P)

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(Q) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(R) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(S) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(T) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(U) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(V) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(W) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(X) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(Y)

The Disciples Rejoin Jesus

27 Just then his disciples returned(Z) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(AA) Could this be the Messiah?”(AB) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(AC) eat something.”

32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(AD) that you know nothing about.”

33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”

34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(AE) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(AF) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(AG) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(AH) a crop for eternal life,(AI) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(AJ) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

Many Samaritans Believe

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town(AK) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(AL) 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.

42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”(AM)

Jesus Heals an Official’s Son

43 After the two days(AN) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(AO) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AP) for they also had been there.

46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(AQ) And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,(AR) he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”(AS) Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”

The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”

53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household(AT) believed.

54 This was the second sign(AU) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

  1. John 4:9 Or do not use dishes Samaritans have used

这事以后,耶稣在加利利游行,不愿在犹太游行,因为犹太人想要杀他。 当时犹太人的住棚节近了, 耶稣的弟兄就对他说:“你离开这里上犹太去吧,叫你的门徒也看见你所行的事。 人要显扬名声,没有在暗处行事的。你如果行这些事,就当将自己显明给世人看。” 因为连他的弟兄说这话,是因为不信他。 耶稣就对他们说:“我的时候还没有到,你们的时候常是方便的。 世人不能恨你们,却是恨我,因为我指证他们所做的事是恶的。 你们上去过节吧!我现在不上去过这节,因为我的时候还没有满。” 耶稣说了这话,仍旧住在加利利

众人为耶稣纷纷议论

10 但他弟兄上去以后,他也上去过节,不是明去,似乎是暗去的。 11 正在节期,犹太人寻找耶稣,说:“他在哪里?” 12 众人为他纷纷议论,有的说:“他是好人。”有的说:“不然,他是迷惑众人的。” 13 只是没有人明明地讲论他,因为怕犹太人。

14 到了节期,耶稣上殿里去教训人。 15 犹太人就稀奇说:“这个人没有学过,怎么明白书呢?” 16 耶稣说:“我的教训不是我自己的,乃是那差我来者的。 17 人若立志遵着他的旨意行,就必晓得这教训或是出于神,或是我凭着自己说的。 18 人凭着自己说,是求自己的荣耀;唯有求那差他来者的荣耀,这人是真的,在他心里没有不义。

不可按外貌定是非

19 摩西岂不是传律法给你们吗?你们却没有一个人守律法!为什么想要杀我呢?” 20 众人回答说:“你是被鬼附着了!谁想要杀你?” 21 耶稣说:“我做了一件事,你们都以为稀奇。 22 摩西传割礼给你们(其实不是从摩西起的,乃是从祖先起的),因此你们也在安息日给人行割礼。 23 人若在安息日受割礼,免得违背摩西的律法,我在安息日叫一个人全然好了,你们就向我生气吗? 24 不可按外貌断定是非,总要按公平断定是非。”

25 耶路撒冷人中有的说:“这不是他们想要杀的人吗? 26 你看,他还明明地讲道,他们也不向他说什么,难道官长真知道这是基督吗? 27 然而我们知道这个人从哪里来,只是基督来的时候,没有人知道他从哪里来。” 28 那时,耶稣在殿里教训人,大声说:“你们也知道我,也知道我从哪里来。我来并不是由于自己,但那差我来的是真的,你们不认识他。 29 我却认识他,因为我是从他来的,他也是差了我来。”

打发差役捉拿耶稣

30 他们就想要捉拿耶稣,只是没有人下手,因为他的时候还没有到。 31 但众人中间有好些信他的,说:“基督来的时候,他所行的神迹岂能比这人所行的更多吗?” 32 法利赛人听见众人为耶稣这样纷纷议论,祭司长和法利赛人就打发差役去捉拿他。 33 于是耶稣说:“我还有不多的时候和你们同在,以后就回到差我来的那里去。 34 你们要找我,却找不着,我所在的地方你们不能到。” 35 犹太人就彼此对问说:“这人要往哪里去,叫我们找不着呢?难道他要往散住希腊中的犹太人那里去教训希腊人吗? 36 他说‘你们要找我,却找不着,我所在的地方你们不能到’,这话是什么意思呢?”

渴者当来就耶稣

37 节期的末日,就是最大之日,耶稣站着高声说:“人若渴了,可以到我这里来喝! 38 信我的人就如经上所说,从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。” 39 耶稣这话是指着信他之人要受圣灵说的。那时还没有赐下圣灵来,因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。 40 众人听见这话,有的说:“这真是那先知!” 41 有的说:“这是基督。”但也有的说:“基督岂是从加利利出来的吗? 42 经上岂不是说基督是大卫的后裔,从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的吗?” 43 于是众人因着耶稣起了纷争。 44 其中有人要捉拿他,只是无人下手。

没有人像耶稣说话

45 差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里,他们对差役说:“你们为什么没有带他来呢?” 46 差役回答说:“从来没有像他这样说话的!” 47 法利赛人说:“你们也受了迷惑吗? 48 官长或是法利赛人岂有信他的呢? 49 但这些不明白律法的百姓是被咒诅的!” 50 内中有尼哥迪慕,就是从前去见耶稣的,对他们说: 51 “不先听本人的口供,不知道他所做的事,难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗?” 52 他们回答说:“你也是出于加利利吗?你且去查考,就可知道加利利没有出过先知。”

拿淫妇来质难主

于是各人都回家去了。耶稣却往橄榄山去。 清早又回到殿里,众百姓都到他那里去,他就坐下教训他们。 文士和法利赛人带着一个行淫时被拿的妇人来,叫她站在当中, 就对耶稣说:“夫子,这妇人是正行淫之时被拿的。 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死,你说该把她怎么样呢?” 他们说这话乃试探耶稣,要得着告他的把柄。耶稣却弯着腰,用指头在地上画字。 他们还是不住地问他,耶稣就直起腰来,对他们说:“你们中间谁是没有罪的,谁就可以先拿石头打她。” 于是又弯着腰,用指头在地上画字。 他们听见这话,就从老到少,一个一个地都出去了,只剩下耶稣一人,还有那妇人仍然站在当中。

不要再犯罪

10 耶稣就直起腰来,对她说:“妇人,那些人在哪里呢?没有人定你的罪吗?” 11 她说:“主啊,没有。”耶稣说:“我也不定你的罪。去吧,从此不要再犯罪了!”

主是世界的光

12 耶稣又对众人说:“我是世界的光。跟从我的,就不在黑暗里走,必要得着生命的光。” 13 法利赛人对他说:“你是为自己作见证,你的见证不真。” 14 耶稣说:“我虽然为自己作见证,我的见证还是真的;因我知道我从哪里来,往哪里去。你们却不知道我从哪里来,往哪里去。 15 你们是以外貌[a]判断人,我却不判断人。 16 就是判断人,我的判断也是真的,因为不是我独自在这里,还有差我来的父与我同在。 17 你们的律法上也记着说:‘两个人的见证是真的。’ 18 我是为自己作见证,还有差我来的父也是为我作见证。” 19 他们就问他说:“你的父在哪里?”耶稣回答说:“你们不认识我,也不认识我的父;若是认识我,也就认识我的父。” 20 这些话是耶稣在殿里的库房教训人时所说的,也没有人拿他,因为他的时候还没有到。

不信主的必死在罪里

21 耶稣又对他们说:“我要去了,你们要找我,并且你们要死在罪中。我所去的地方你们不能到。” 22 犹太人说:“他说‘我所去的地方你们不能到’,难道他要自尽吗?” 23 耶稣对他们说:“你们是从下头来的,我是从上头来的;你们是属这世界的,我不是属这世界的。 24 所以我对你们说,你们要死在罪中;你们若不信我是基督,必要死在罪中。” 25 他们就问他说:“你是谁?”耶稣对他们说:“就是我从起初所告诉你们的。 26 我有许多事讲论你们,判断你们;但那差我来的是真的,我在他那里所听见的,我就传给世人。” 27 他们不明白耶稣是指着父说的。 28 所以耶稣说:“你们举起人子以后,必知道我是基督,并且知道我没有一件事是凭着自己做的。我说这些话乃是照着父所教训我的。 29 那差我来的是与我同在,他没有撇下我独自在这里,因为我常做他所喜悦的事。” 30 耶稣说这话的时候,就有许多人信他。

真理叫人得以自由

31 耶稣对信他的犹太人说:“你们若常常遵守我的道,就真是我的门徒, 32 你们必晓得真理,真理必叫你们得以自由。” 33 他们回答说:“我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔,从来没有做过谁的奴仆,你怎么说‘你们必得以自由’呢?” 34 耶稣回答说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:所有犯罪的就是罪的奴仆。 35 奴仆不能永远住在家里,儿子是永远住在家里。 36 所以天父的儿子若叫你们自由,你们就真自由了。

谁为亚伯拉罕的真子孙

37 “我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的子孙,你们却想要杀我,因为你们心里容不下我的道。 38 我所说的,是在我父那里看见的;你们所行的,是在你们的父那里听见的。” 39 他们说:“我们的父就是亚伯拉罕!”耶稣说:“你们若是亚伯拉罕的儿子,就必行亚伯拉罕所行的事。 40 我将在神那里所听见的真理告诉了你们,现在你们却想要杀我,这不是亚伯拉罕所行的事。 41 你们是行你们父所行的事。”他们说:“我们不是从淫乱生的。我们只有一位父,就是神!”

出于神的必听神的话

42 耶稣说:“倘若神是你们的父,你们就必爱我。因为我本是出于神,也是从神而来;并不是由着自己来,乃是他差我来。 43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢?无非是因你们不能听我的道。 44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼,你们父的私欲你们偏要行。他从起初是杀人的,不守真理,因他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于自己,因他本来是说谎的,也是说谎之人的父。 45 我将真理告诉你们,你们就因此不信我。 46 你们中间谁能指证我有罪呢?我既然将真理告诉你们,为什么不信我呢? 47 出于神的必听神的话,你们不听,因为你们不是出于神。” 48 犹太人回答说:“我们说你是撒马利亚人,并且是鬼附着的,这话岂不正对吗?” 49 耶稣说:“我不是鬼附着的。我尊敬我的父,你们倒轻慢我。 50 我不求自己的荣耀,有一位为我求荣耀、定是非的。 51 我实实在在地告诉你们:人若遵守我的道,就永远不见死。” 52 犹太人对他说:“现在我们知道你是鬼附着的。亚伯拉罕死了,众先知也死了,你还说‘人若遵守我的道,就永远不尝死味’。 53 难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗?他死了,众先知也死了。你将自己当做什么人呢?” 54 耶稣回答说:“我若荣耀自己,我的荣耀就算不得什么。荣耀我的乃是我的父,就是你们所说是你们的神。 55 你们未曾认识他,我却认识他。我若说不认识他,我就是说谎的,像你们一样。但我认识他,也遵守他的道。

耶稣言己在亚伯拉罕之先

56 “你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕欢欢喜喜地仰望我的日子,既看见了,就快乐。” 57 犹太人说:“你还没有五十岁,岂见过亚伯拉罕呢?” 58 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我。” 59 于是他们拿石头要打他,耶稣却躲藏,从殿里出去了。

医好生来瞎眼的

耶稣过去的时候,看见一个人生来是瞎眼的。 门徒问耶稣说:“拉比,这人生来是瞎眼的,是谁犯了罪?是这人呢,是他父母呢?” 耶稣回答说:“也不是这人犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,是要在他身上显出神的作为来。 趁着白日,我们必须做那差我来者的工;黑夜将到,就没有人能做工了。 我在世上的时候,是世上的光。” 耶稣说了这话,就吐唾沫在地上,用唾沫和泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上, 对他说:“你往西罗亚池子里去洗。”(“西罗亚”翻出来就是“奉差遣”。)他去一洗,回头就看见了。 他的邻舍和那素常见他是讨饭的,就说:“这不是那从前坐着讨饭的人吗?” 有人说:“是他。”又有人说:“不是,却是像他。”他自己说:“是我。” 10 他们对他说:“你的眼睛是怎样开的呢?” 11 他回答说:“有一个人名叫耶稣,他和泥抹我的眼睛,对我说:‘你往西罗亚池子去洗。’我去一洗,就看见了。” 12 他们说:“那个人在哪里?”他说:“我不知道。”

法利赛人盘问医好的瞎子

13 他们把从前瞎眼的人带到法利赛人那里。 14 耶稣和泥开他眼睛的日子是安息日。 15 法利赛人也问他是怎么得看见的。瞎子对他们说:“他把泥抹在我的眼睛上,我去一洗,就看见了。” 16 法利赛人中有的说:“这个人不是从神来的,因为他不守安息日。”又有人说:“一个罪人怎能行这样的神迹呢?”他们就起了纷争。 17 他们又对瞎子说:“他既然开了你的眼睛,你说他是怎样的人呢?”他说:“是个先知。” 18 犹太人不信他从前是瞎眼、后来能看见的,等到叫了他的父母来, 19 问他们说:“这是你们的儿子吗?你们说他生来是瞎眼的,如今怎么能看见了呢?” 20 他父母回答说:“他是我们的儿子,生来就瞎眼,这是我们知道的。 21 至于他如今怎么能看见,我们却不知道。是谁开了他的眼睛,我们也不知道。他已经成了人,你们问他吧,他自己必能说。” 22 他父母说这话是怕犹太人,因为犹太人已经商议定了,若有认耶稣是基督的,要把他赶出会堂。 23 因此他父母说“他已经成了人,你们问他吧”。 24 所以法利赛人第二次叫了那从前瞎眼的人来,对他说:“你该将荣耀归给神,我们知道这人是个罪人。” 25 他说:“他是个罪人不是,我不知道。有一件事我知道:从前我是眼瞎的,如今能看了!” 26 他们就问他说:“他向你做什么?是怎么开了你的眼睛呢?” 27 他回答说:“我方才告诉你们,你们不听,为什么又要听呢?莫非你们也要做他的门徒吗?” 28 他们就骂他,说:“你是他的门徒!我们是摩西的门徒。 29 神对摩西说话是我们知道的,只是这个人,我们不知道他从哪里来!” 30 那人回答说:“他开了我的眼睛,你们竟不知道他从哪里来,这真是奇怪! 31 我们知道神不听罪人,唯有敬奉神、遵行他旨意的,神才听他。 32 从创世以来,未曾听见有人把生来是瞎子的眼睛开了。 33 这人若不是从神来的,什么也不能做。” 34 他们回答说:“你全然生在罪孽中,还要教训我们吗?”于是把他赶出去了。

耶稣收留被逐的瞎子

35 耶稣听说他们把他赶出去,后来遇见他,就说:“你信神的儿子吗?” 36 他回答说:“主啊,谁是神的儿子,叫我信他呢?” 37 耶稣说:“你已经看见他,现在和你说话的就是他。” 38 他说:“主啊,我信!”就拜耶稣。 39 耶稣说:“我为审判到这世上来,叫不能看见的可以看见,能看见的反瞎了眼。” 40 同他在那里的法利赛人听见这话,就说:“难道我们也瞎了眼吗?” 41 耶稣对他们说:“你们若瞎了眼,就没有罪了;但如今你们说‘我们能看见’,所以你们的罪还在。

羊圈的比喻

10 “我实实在在地告诉你们:人进羊圈,不从门进去,倒从别处爬进去,那人就是贼,就是强盗。 从门进去的,才是羊的牧人。 看门的就给他开门,羊也听他的声音。他按着名叫自己的羊,把羊领出来。 既放出自己的羊来,就在前头走,羊也跟着他,因为认得他的声音。 羊不跟着生人,因为不认得他的声音,必要逃跑。” 耶稣将这比喻告诉他们,但他们不明白所说的是什么意思。

主是羊的门

所以,耶稣又对他们说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:我就是羊的门。 凡在我以先来的都是贼,是强盗,羊却不听他们。 我就是门,凡从我进来的,必然得救,并且出入得草吃。 10 盗贼来,无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏;我来了,是要叫羊[b]得生命,并且得的更丰盛。

主是好牧人

11 “我是好牧人,好牧人为羊舍命。 12 若是雇工,不是牧人,羊也不是他自己的,他看见狼来,就撇下羊逃走,狼抓住羊,赶散了羊群。 13 雇工逃走,因他是雇工,并不顾念羊。 14 我是好牧人,我认识我的羊,我的羊也认识我, 15 正如父认识我,我也认识父一样;并且我为羊舍命。 16 我另外有羊,不是这圈里的,我必须领它们来,它们也要听我的声音,并且要合成一群,归一个牧人了。 17 我父爱我,因我将命舍去,好再取回来。 18 没有人夺我的命去,是我自己舍的。我有权柄舍了,也有权柄取回来,这是我从我父所受的命令。”

19 犹太人为这些话又起了纷争。 20 内中有好些人说:“他是被鬼附着,而且疯了!为什么听他呢?” 21 又有人说:“这不是鬼附之人所说的话。鬼岂能叫瞎子的眼睛开了呢?”

22 耶路撒冷有修殿节,是冬天的时候。 23 耶稣在殿里所罗门的廊下行走。 24 犹太人围着他,说:“你叫我们犹疑不定到几时呢?你若是基督,就明明地告诉我们。” 25 耶稣回答说:“我已经告诉你们,你们不信。我奉我父之名所行的事可以为我作见证, 26 只是你们不信,因为你们不是我的羊。 27 我的羊听我的声音,我也认识他们,他们也跟着我。 28 我又赐给他们永生,他们永不灭亡,谁也不能从我手里把他们夺去。 29 我父把羊赐给我,他比万有都大,谁也不能从我父手里把他们夺去。

主与父原为一

30 “我与父原为一。” 31 犹太人又拿起石头来要打他。 32 耶稣对他们说:“我从父显出许多善事给你们看,你们是为哪一件拿石头打我呢?” 33 犹太人回答说:“我们不是为善事拿石头打你,是为你说僭妄的话;又为你是个人,反将自己当做神。” 34 耶稣说:“你们的律法上岂不是写着‘我曾说你们是神’吗? 35 经上的话是不能废的。若那些承受神道的人尚且称为神, 36 父所分别为圣又差到世间来的,他自称是神的儿子,你们还向他说‘你说僭妄的话’吗? 37 我若不行我父的事,你们就不必信我。 38 我若行了,你们纵然不信我,也当信这些事,叫你们又知道又明白:父在我里面,我也在父里面。” 39 他们又要拿他,他却逃出他们的手走了。

40 耶稣又往约旦河外去,到了约翰起初施洗的地方,就住在那里。 41 有许多人来到他那里,他们说:“约翰一件神迹没行过,但约翰指着这人所说的一切话是真的。” 42 在那里信耶稣的人就多了。

耶稣听见拉撒路病了

11 有一个患病的人名叫拉撒路,住在伯大尼,就是马利亚和她姐姐马大的村庄。 马利亚就是那用香膏抹主,又用头发擦他脚的,患病的拉撒路是她的兄弟。 她姐妹两个就打发人去见耶稣,说:“主啊,你所爱的人病了。” 耶稣听见就说:“这病不至于死,乃是为神的荣耀,叫神的儿子因此得荣耀。” 耶稣素来爱马大和她妹子并拉撒路 听见拉撒路病了,就在所居之地仍住了两天。 然后对门徒说:“我们再往犹太去吧。” 门徒说:“拉比,犹太人近来要拿石头打你,你还往那里去吗?” 耶稣回答说:“白日不是有十二小时吗?人在白日走路,就不致跌倒,因为看见这世上的光。 10 若在黑夜走路,就必跌倒,因为他没有光。” 11 耶稣说了这话,随后对他们说:“我们的朋友拉撒路睡了,我去叫醒他。” 12 门徒说:“主啊,他若睡了,就必好了。” 13 耶稣这话是指着他死说的,他们却以为是说照常睡了。 14 耶稣就明明地告诉他们说:拉撒路死了。 15 我没有在那里就欢喜,这是为你们的缘故,好叫你们相信。如今我们可以往他那里去吧!” 16 多马,又称为低土马,就对那同做门徒的说:“我们也去和他同死吧!”

复活在主

17 耶稣到了,就知道拉撒路在坟墓里已经四天了。 18 伯大尼耶路撒冷不远,约有六里路。 19 有好些犹太人来看马大马利亚,要为她们的兄弟安慰她们。 20 马大听见耶稣来了,就出去迎接他;马利亚却仍然坐在家里。 21 马大对耶稣说:“主啊,你若早在这里,我兄弟必不死。 22 就是现在,我也知道,你无论向神求什么,神也必赐给你。” 23 耶稣说:“你兄弟必然复活。” 24 马大说:“我知道在末日复活的时候,他必复活。” 25 耶稣对她说:“复活在我,生命也在我。信我的人,虽然死了,也必复活; 26 凡活着信我的人必永远不死。你信这话吗?” 27 马大说:“主啊,是的,我信你是基督,是神的儿子,就是那要临到世界的。” 28 马大说了这话,就回去暗暗地叫她妹子马利亚,说:“夫子来了,叫你。” 29 马利亚听见了,就急忙起来,到耶稣那里去。 30 那时耶稣还没有进村子,仍在马大迎接他的地方。 31 那些同马利亚在家里安慰她的犹太人,见她急忙起来出去,就跟着她,以为她要往坟墓那里去哭。 32 马利亚到了耶稣那里,看见他,就俯伏在他脚前,说:“主啊,你若早在这里,我兄弟必不死。”

耶稣哭了

33 耶稣看见她哭,并看见与她同来的犹太人也哭,就心里悲叹,又甚忧愁, 34 便说:“你们把他安放在哪里?”他们回答说:“请主来看。” 35 耶稣哭了。 36 犹太人就说:“你看,他爱这人是何等恳切!” 37 其中有人说:“他既然开了瞎子的眼睛,岂不能叫这人不死吗?” 38 耶稣又心里悲叹,来到坟墓前。那坟墓是个洞,有一块石头挡着。 39 耶稣说:“你们把石头挪开!”那死人的姐姐马大对他说:“主啊,他现在必是臭了,因为他死了已经四天了。” 40 耶稣说:“我不是对你说过,你若信,就必看见神的荣耀吗?”

主叫拉撒路复活

41 他们就把石头挪开。耶稣举目望天,说:“父啊,我感谢你,因为你已经听我。 42 我也知道你常听我,但我说这话是为周围站着的众人,叫他们信是你差了我来。” 43 说了这话,就大声呼叫说:拉撒路出来!” 44 那死人就出来了,手脚裹着布,脸上包着手巾。耶稣对他们说:“解开,叫他走!”

45 那些来看马利亚犹太人见了耶稣所做的事,就多有信他的。 46 但其中也有去见法利赛人的,将耶稣所做的事告诉他们。

法利赛人用计要害死耶稣

47 祭司长和法利赛人聚集公会,说:“这人行好些神迹,我们怎么办呢? 48 若这样由着他,人人都要信他,罗马人也要来夺我们的地土和我们的百姓。” 49 内中有一个人名叫该亚法,本年做大祭司,对他们说:“你们不知道什么。 50 独不想一个人替百姓死,免得通国灭亡,就是你们的益处。” 51 他这话不是出于自己,是因他本年做大祭司,所以预言耶稣将要替这一国死; 52 也不但替这一国死,并要将神四散的子民都聚集归一。 53 从那日起,他们就商议要杀耶稣。

54 所以耶稣不再显然行在犹太人中间,就离开那里往靠近旷野的地方去,到了一座城,名叫以法莲,就在那里和门徒同住。 55 犹太人的逾越节近了,有许多人从乡下上耶路撒冷去,要在节前洁净自己。 56 他们就寻找耶稣,站在殿里彼此说:“你们的意思如何,他不来过节吗?” 57 那时,祭司长和法利赛人早已吩咐说,若有人知道耶稣在哪里,就要报明,好去拿他。

马利亚用香膏抹主

12 逾越节前六日,耶稣来到伯大尼,就是他叫拉撒路从死里复活之处。 有人在那里给耶稣预备筵席,马大伺候,拉撒路也在那同耶稣坐席的人中。 马利亚就拿着一斤极贵的真哪哒香膏,抹耶稣的脚,又用自己的头发去擦,屋里就满了膏的香气。 有一个门徒,就是那将要卖耶稣的加略犹大 说:“这香膏为什么不卖三十两银子周济穷人呢?” 他说这话,并不是挂念穷人,乃因他是个贼,又带着钱囊,常取其中所存的。 耶稣说:“由她吧!她是为我安葬之日存留的。 因为常有穷人和你们同在,只是你们不常有我。”

有许多犹太人知道耶稣在那里,就来了,不但是为耶稣的缘故,也是要看他从死里所复活的拉撒路 10 但祭司长商议连拉撒路也要杀了, 11 因有好些犹太人为拉撒路的缘故,回去信了耶稣。

主骑驴进耶路撒冷

12 第二天,有许多上来过节的人听见耶稣将到耶路撒冷 13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他,喊着说:“和散那!奉主名来的以色列王是应当称颂的!” 14 耶稣得了一个驴驹,就骑上,如经上所记的说: 15 锡安的民[c]哪,不要惧怕!你的王骑着驴驹来了。” 16 这些事门徒起先不明白,等到耶稣得了荣耀以后,才想起这话是指着他写的,并且众人果然向他这样行了。 17 当耶稣呼唤拉撒路,叫他从死复活出坟墓的时候,同耶稣在那里的众人就作见证。 18 众人因听见耶稣行了这神迹,就去迎接他。 19 法利赛人彼此说:“看哪,你们是徒劳无益,世人都随从他去了!”

20 那时,上来过节礼拜的人中,有几个希腊人。 21 他们来见加利利伯赛大腓力,求他说:“先生,我们愿意见耶稣。” 22 腓力去告诉安得烈安得烈腓力去告诉耶稣。

耶稣向百姓末了的讲论

23 耶稣说:“人子得荣耀的时候到了。 24 我实实在在地告诉你们:一粒麦子不落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;若是死了,就结出许多子粒来。 25 爱惜自己生命的,就失丧生命;在这世上恨恶自己生命的,就要保守生命到永生。 26 若有人服侍我,就当跟从我;我在哪里,服侍我的人也要在哪里。若有人服侍我,我父必尊重他。 27 我现在心里忧愁,我说什么才好呢?父啊,救我脱离这时候!但我原是为这时候来的。 28 父啊,愿你荣耀你的名!”当时就有声音从天上来说:“我已经荣耀了我的名,还要再荣耀。” 29 站在旁边的众人听见,就说:“打雷了。”还有人说:“有天使对他说话。”

主要吸引万人归己

30 耶稣说:“这声音不是为我,是为你们来的。 31 现在这世界受审判,这世界的王要被赶出去。 32 我若从地上被举起来,就要吸引万人来归我。” 33 耶稣这话原是指着自己将要怎样死说的。 34 众人回答说:“我们听见律法上有话说基督是永存的,你怎么说人子必须被举起来呢?这人子是谁呢?” 35 耶稣对他们说:“光在你们中间还有不多的时候,应当趁着有光行走,免得黑暗临到你们。那在黑暗里行走的,不知道往何处去。 36 你们应当趁着有光,信从这光,使你们成为光明之子。”

应验以赛亚的预言

37 耶稣说了这话,就离开他们隐藏了。他虽然在他们面前行了许多神迹,他们还是不信他。 38 这是要应验先知以赛亚的话说:“主啊,我们所传的有谁信呢?主的膀臂向谁显露呢?” 39 他们所以不能信,因为以赛亚又说: 40 “主叫他们瞎了眼,硬了心,免得他们眼睛看见,心里明白,回转过来,我就医治他们。” 41 以赛亚因为看见他的荣耀,就指着他说这话。 42 虽然如此,官长中却有好些信他的,只因法利赛人的缘故,就不承认,恐怕被赶出会堂。 43 这是因他们爱人的荣耀过于爱神的荣耀。

信子就是信父

44 耶稣大声说:“信我的,不是信我,乃是信那差我来的。 45 人看见我,就是看见那差我来的。 46 我到世上来,乃是光,叫凡信我的不住在黑暗里。 47 若有人听见我的话不遵守,我不审判他。我来本不是要审判世界,乃是要拯救世界。 48 弃绝我、不领受我话的人,有审判他的,就是我所讲的道在末日要审判他。 49 因为我没有凭着自己讲,唯有差我来的父已经给我命令,叫我说什么、讲什么。 50 我也知道他的命令就是永生。故此,我所讲的话正是照着父对我所说的。”

耶稣洗门徒的脚做榜样

13 逾越节以前,耶稣知道自己离世归父的时候到了。他既然爱世间属自己的人,就爱他们到底。 吃晚饭的时候——魔鬼已将卖耶稣的意思放在西门的儿子加略犹大心里—— 耶稣知道父已将万有交在他手里,且知道自己是从神出来的,又要归到神那里去, 就离席站起来,脱了衣服,拿一条手巾束腰。 随后把水倒在盆里,就洗门徒的脚,并用自己所束的手巾擦干。 挨到西门彼得彼得对他说:“主啊,你洗我的脚吗?” 耶稣回答说:“我所做的,你如今不知道,后来必明白。” 彼得说:“你永不可洗我的脚!”耶稣说:“我若不洗你,你就与我无份了。” 西门彼得说:“主啊,不但我的脚,连手和头也要洗!” 10 耶稣说:“凡洗过澡的人,只要把脚一洗,全身就干净了。你们是干净的,然而不都是干净的。 11 耶稣原知道要卖他的是谁,所以说“你们不都是干净的”。

12 耶稣洗完了他们的脚,就穿上衣服,又坐下,对他们说:“我向你们所做的,你们明白吗? 13 你们称呼我夫子,称呼我主,你们说的不错,我本来是。 14 我是你们的主、你们的夫子,尚且洗你们的脚,你们也当彼此洗脚。 15 我给你们做了榜样,叫你们照着我向你们所做的去做。 16 我实实在在地告诉你们:仆人不能大于主人,差人也不能大于差他的人。 17 你们既知道这事,若是去行就有福了。

耶稣预指卖他的人

18 “我这话不是指着你们众人说的,我知道我所拣选的是谁。现在要应验经上的话说:‘同我吃饭的人用脚踢我。’ 19 如今事情还没有成就,我要先告诉你们,叫你们到事情成就的时候,可以信我是基督。 20 我实实在在地告诉你们:有人接待我所差遣的,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待那差遣我的。”

21 耶稣说了这话,心里忧愁,就明说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:你们中间有一个人要卖我了。” 22 门徒彼此对看,猜不透所说的是谁。 23 有一个门徒,是耶稣所爱的,侧身挨近耶稣的怀里。 24 西门彼得点头对他说:“你告诉我们主是指着谁说的。” 25 那门徒便就势靠着耶稣的胸膛,问他说:“主啊,是谁呢?” 26 耶稣回答说:“我蘸一点饼给谁,就是谁。”耶稣就蘸了一点饼,递给加略西门的儿子犹大 27 他吃了以后,撒旦就入了他的心。耶稣便对他说:“你所做的,快做吧!” 28 同席的人没有一个知道为什么对他说这话。 29 有人因犹大带着钱囊,以为耶稣是对他说“你去买我们过节所应用的东西”,或是叫他拿什么周济穷人。 30 犹大受了那点饼,立刻就出去。那时候是夜间了。

主赐一条新命令

31 他既出去,耶稣就说:“如今人子得了荣耀,神在人子身上也得了荣耀。 32 神要因自己荣耀人子,并且要快快地荣耀他。 33 小子们,我还有不多的时候与你们同在,后来你们要找我,但我所去的地方你们不能到。这话我曾对犹太人说过,如今也照样对你们说。 34 我赐给你们一条新命令,乃是叫你们彼此相爱,我怎样爱你们,你们也要怎样相爱。 35 你们若有彼此相爱的心,众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了。”

预言彼得不认主

36 西门彼得问耶稣说:“主往哪里去?”耶稣回答说:“我所去的地方,你现在不能跟我去,后来却要跟我去。” 37 彼得说:“主啊,我为什么现在不能跟你去?我愿意为你舍命!” 38 耶稣说:“你愿意为我舍命吗?我实实在在地告诉你:鸡叫以先,你要三次不认我。”

安慰门徒的心

14 “你们心里不要忧愁,你们信神,也当信我。 在我父的家里有许多住处,若是没有,我就早已告诉你们了,我去原是为你们预备地方去。 我若去为你们预备了地方,就必再来接你们到我那里去,我在哪里,叫你们也在哪里。 我往哪里去你们知道,那条路你们也知道。[d] 多马对他说:“主啊,我们不知道你往哪里去,怎么知道那条路呢?”

主为道路真理生命

耶稣说:“我就是道路、真理、生命。若不借着我,没有人能到父那里去。 你们若认识我,也就认识我的父。从今以后,你们认识他,并且已经看见他。” 腓力对他说:“求主将父显给我们看,我们就知足了。” 耶稣对他说:腓力,我与你们同在这样长久,你还不认识我吗?人看见了我,就是看见了父,你怎么说‘将父显给我们看’呢? 10 我在父里面,父在我里面,你不信吗?我对你们所说的话,不是凭着自己说的,乃是住在我里面的父做他自己的事。 11 你们当信我,我在父里面,父在我里面;即或不信,也当因我所做的事信我。 12 我实实在在地告诉你们:我所做的事,信我的人也要做,并且要做比这更大的事,因为我往父那里去。 13 你们奉我的名无论求什么,我必成就,叫父因儿子得荣耀。 14 你们若奉我名求告什么,我必成就。 15 你们若爱我,就必遵守我的命令。

应许赐保惠师

16 “我要求父,父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师[e],叫他永远与你们同在, 17 就是真理的圣灵,乃世人不能接受的,因为不见他,也不认识他。你们却认识他,因他常与你们同在,也要在你们里面。 18 我不撇下你们为孤儿,我必到你们这里来。 19 还有不多的时候,世人不再看见我,你们却看见我,因为我活着,你们也要活着。 20 到那日,你们就知道我在父里面,你们在我里面,我也在你们里面。

爱主的必遵守主道

21 “有了我的命令又遵守的,这人就是爱我的。爱我的必蒙我父爱他,我也要爱他,并且要向他显现。” 22 犹大(不是加略犹大)问耶稣说:“主啊,为什么要向我们显现,不向世人显现呢?” 23 耶稣回答说:“人若爱我,就必遵守我的道,我父也必爱他,并且我们要到他那里去,与他同住。 24 不爱我的人就不遵守我的道;你们所听见的道不是我的,乃是差我来之父的道。

25 “我还与你们同住的时候,已将这些话对你们说了。 26 但保惠师,就是父因我的名所要差来的圣灵,他要将一切的事指教你们,并且要叫你们想起我对你们所说的一切话。 27 我留下平安给你们,我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的不像世人所赐的,你们心里不要忧愁,也不要胆怯。 28 你们听见我对你们说了,我去,还要到你们这里来。你们若爱我,因我到父那里去,就必喜乐,因为父是比我大的。 29 现在事情还没有成就,我预先告诉你们,叫你们到事情成就的时候,就可以信。 30 以后我不再和你们多说话,因为这世界的王将到;他在我里面是毫无所有, 31 但要叫世人知道我爱父,并且父怎样吩咐我,我就怎样行。起来,我们走吧!”

主是真葡萄树

15 “我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人。 凡属我不结果子的枝子,他就剪去;凡结果子的,他就修理干净,使枝子结果子更多。 现在你们因我讲给你们的道,已经干净了。 你们要常在我里面,我也常在你们里面。枝子若不常在葡萄树上,自己就不能结果子;你们若不常在我里面,也是这样。 我是葡萄树,你们是枝子。常在我里面的,我也常在他里面,这人就多结果子;因为离了我,你们就不能做什么。 人若不常在我里面,就像枝子丢在外面枯干,人拾起来扔在火里烧了。 你们若常在我里面,我的话也常在你们里面,凡你们所愿意的,祈求,就给你们成就。 你们多结果子,我父就因此得荣耀,你们也就是我的门徒了。

当效法主的爱

“我爱你们,正如父爱我一样,你们要常在我的爱里。 10 你们若遵守我的命令,就常在我的爱里,正如我遵守了我父的命令,常在他的爱里。 11 这些事我已经对你们说了,是要叫我的喜乐存在你们心里,并叫你们的喜乐可以满足。 12 你们要彼此相爱,像我爱你们一样,这就是我的命令。 13 人为朋友舍命,人的爱心没有比这个大的。 14 你们若遵行我所吩咐的,就是我的朋友了。 15 以后我不再称你们为仆人,因仆人不知道主人所做的事。我乃称你们为朋友,因我从父所听见的,已经都告诉你们了。 16 不是你们拣选了我,是我拣选了你们,并且分派你们去结果子,叫你们的果子常存,使你们奉我的名无论向父求什么,他就赐给你们。 17 我这样吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。

恨主者必恨信主的

18 “世人若恨你们,你们知道[f],恨你们以先已经恨我了。 19 你们若属世界,世界必爱属自己的。只因你们不属世界,乃是我从世界中拣选了你们,所以世界就恨你们。 20 你们要记念我从前对你们所说的话:‘仆人不能大于主人。’他们若逼迫了我,也要逼迫你们;若遵守了我的话,也要遵守你们的话。 21 但他们因我的名要向你们行这一切的事,因为他们不认识那差我来的。 22 我若没有来教训他们,他们就没有罪,但如今他们的罪无可推诿了。 23 恨我的,也恨我的父。 24 我若没有在他们中间行过别人未曾行的事,他们就没有罪;但如今连我与我的父,他们也看见也恨恶了。 25 这要应验他们律法上所写的话说:‘他们无故地恨我。’ 26 但我要从父那里差保惠师来,就是从父出来真理的圣灵;他来了,就要为我作见证。 27 你们也要作见证,因为你从起头就与我同在。

16 “我已将这些事告诉你们,使你们不至于跌倒。 人要把你们赶出会堂,并且时候将到,凡杀你们的就以为是侍奉神。 他们这样行,是因未曾认识父,也未曾认识我。 我将这事告诉你们,是叫你们到了时候,可以想起我对你们说过了。我起先没有将这些事告诉你们,因为我与你们同在。 现今我往差我来的父那里去,你们中间并没有人问我:‘你往哪里去?’ 只因我将这事告诉你们,你们就满心忧愁。 然而我将真情告诉你们,我去是于你们有益的。我若不去,保惠师就不到你们这里来;我若去,就差他来。 他既来了,就要叫世人为罪、为义、为审判,自己责备自己。 为罪,是因他们不信我; 10 为义,是因我往父那里去,你们就不再见我; 11 为审判,是因这世界的王受了审判。

主要引导门徒进入真理

12 “我还有好些事要告诉你们,但你们现在担当不了[g] 13 只等真理的圣灵来了,他要引导你们明白[h]一切的真理,因为他不是凭自己说的,乃是把他所听见的都说出来,并要把将来的事告诉你们。 14 他要荣耀我,因为他要将受于我的告诉你们。 15 凡父所有的,都是我的,所以我说,他要将受于我的告诉你们。 16 等不多时,你们就不得见我;再等不多时,你们还要见我。” 17 有几个门徒就彼此说:“他对我们说‘等不多时,你们就不得见我;再等不多时,你们还要见我’‘因我往父那里去’,这是什么意思呢?” 18 门徒彼此说:“他说‘等不多时’,到底是什么意思呢?我们不明白他所说的话。” 19 耶稣看出他们要问他,就说:“我说‘等不多时,你们就不得见我;再等不多时,你们还要见我’,你们为这话彼此相问吗? 20 我实实在在地告诉你们:你们将要痛哭、哀号,世人倒要喜乐。你们将要忧愁,然而你们的忧愁要变为喜乐。 21 妇人生产的时候就忧愁,因为她的时候到了;既生了孩子,就不再记念那苦楚,因为欢喜世上生了一个人。 22 你们现在也是忧愁,但我要再见你们,你们的心就喜乐了,这喜乐也没有人能夺去。

靠主名求父必要得着

23 “到那日,你们什么也就不问我了。我实实在在地告诉你们:你们若向父求什么,他必因我的名赐给你们。 24 向来你们没有奉我的名求什么,如今你们求,就必得着,叫你们的喜乐可以满足。

25 “这些事,我是用比喻对你们说的。时候将到,我不再用比喻对你们说,乃要将父明明地告诉你们。 26 到那日,你们要奉我的名祈求。我并不对你们说,我要为你们求父; 27 父自己爱你们,因为你们已经爱我,又信我是从父出来的。 28 我从父出来,到了世界;我又离开世界,往父那里去。” 29 门徒说:“如今你是明说,并不用比喻了。 30 现在我们晓得你凡事都知道,也不用人问你,因此我们信你是从神出来的。” 31 耶稣说:“现在你们信吗? 32 看哪,时候将到,且是已经到了,你们要分散,各归自己的地方去,留下我独自一人;其实我不是独自一人,因为有父与我同在。 33 我将这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有苦难,但你们可以放心,我已经胜了世界。”

分离的祷告

17 耶稣说了这话,就举目望天说:“父啊,时候到了,愿你荣耀你的儿子,使儿子也荣耀你! 正如你曾赐给他权柄管理凡有血气的,叫他将永生赐给你所赐给他的人。 认识你独一的真神,并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督,这就是永生。 我在地上已经荣耀你,你所托付我的事,我已成全了。 父啊,现在求你使我同你享荣耀,就是未有世界以先我同你所有的荣耀。 你从世上赐给我的人,我已将你的名显明于他们。他们本是你的,你将他们赐给我,他们也遵守了你的道。 如今他们知道,凡你所赐给我的,都是从你那里来的。 因为你所赐给我的道,我已经赐给他们;他们也领受了,又确实知道我是从你出来的,并且信你差了我来。 我为他们祈求;不为世人祈求,却为你所赐给我的人祈求,因他们本是你的。 10 凡是我的都是你的,你的也是我的,并且我因他们得了荣耀。 11 从今以后,我不在世上,他们却在世上,我往你那里去。圣父啊,求你因你所赐给我的名保守他们,叫他们合而为一,像我们一样。 12 我与他们同在的时候,因你所赐给我的名保守了他们,我也护卫了他们,其中除了那灭亡之子,没有一个灭亡的,好叫经上的话得应验。 13 现在我往你那里去,我还在世上说这话,是叫他们心里充满我的喜乐。 14 我已将你的道赐给他们,世界又恨他们,因为他们不属世界,正如我不属世界一样。 15 我不求你叫他们离开世界,只求你保守他们脱离那恶者[i] 16 他们不属世界,正如我不属世界一样。

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles

After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.(B) But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(C) was near, Jesus’ brothers(D) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(E)

Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(G) because I testify that its works are evil.(H) You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time(I) has not yet fully come.” After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.

10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus(J) and asking, “Where is he?”

12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”

Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”(K) 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.(L)

Jesus Teaches at the Festival

14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.(M) 15 The Jews(N) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning(O) without having been taught?”(P)

16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.(Q) 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out(R) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,(S) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law?(T) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”(U)

20 “You are demon-possessed,”(V) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”

21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,(W) and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision(X) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),(Y) you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”(Z)

Division Over Who Jesus Is

25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?(AA) 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities(AB) really concluded that he is the Messiah?(AC) 27 But we know where this man is from;(AD) when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”

28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts,(AE) cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.(AF) I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.(AG) You do not know him, 29 but I know him(AH) because I am from him and he sent me.”(AI)

30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,(AJ) because his hour had not yet come.(AK) 31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him.(AL) They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs(AM) than this man?”

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.

33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time,(AN) and then I am going to the one who sent me.(AO) 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”(AP)

35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered(AQ) among the Greeks,(AR) and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”(AS)

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival,(AT) Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.(AU) 38 Whoever believes(AV) in me, as Scripture has said,(AW) rivers of living water(AX) will flow from within them.”[c](AY) 39 By this he meant the Spirit,(AZ) whom those who believed in him were later to receive.(BA) Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.(BB)

40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”(BC)

41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”

Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(BD) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(BE) and from Bethlehem,(BF) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(BG) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(BH)

Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders

45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”

46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”(BI) the guards replied.

47 “You mean he has deceived you also?”(BJ) the Pharisees retorted. 48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?(BK) 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”

50 Nicodemus,(BL) who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”

52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”(BM)


[The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]

53 Then they all went home, but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(BN)

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.(BO) The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.(BP) Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap,(BQ) in order to have a basis for accusing him.(BR)

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone(BS) at her.”(BT) Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 “No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,”(BU) Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”(BV)


Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am(BW) the light of the world.(BX) Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”(BY)

13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”(BZ)

14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going.(CA) But you have no idea where I come from(CB) or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards;(CC) I pass judgment on no one.(CD) 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.(CE) 17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.(CF) 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”(CG)

19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”

“You do not know me or my Father,”(CH) Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”(CI) 20 He spoke these words while teaching(CJ) in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put.(CK) Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.(CL)

Dispute Over Who Jesus Is

21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die(CM) in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”(CN)

22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”

23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.(CO) 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he,(CP) you will indeed die in your sins.”

25 “Who are you?” they asked.

“Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26 “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy,(CQ) and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”(CR)

27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[d] the Son of Man,(CS) then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.(CT) 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone,(CU) for I always do what pleases him.”(CV) 30 Even as he spoke, many believed in him.(CW)

Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,(CX) you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(CY)

33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants(CZ) and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.(DA) 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.(DB) 36 So if the Son sets you free,(DC) you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me,(DD) because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence,(DE) and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[e](DF)

39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.

“If you were Abraham’s children,”(DG) said Jesus, “then you would[f] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(DH) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(DI) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(DJ)

“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(DK)

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(DL) for I have come here from God.(DM) I have not come on my own;(DN) God sent me.(DO) 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil,(DP) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(DQ) He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(DR) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(DS) you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says.(DT) The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

Jesus’ Claims About Himself

48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan(DU) and demon-possessed?”(DV)

49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself;(DW) but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”(DX)

52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!(DY) Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham?(DZ) He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”

54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself,(EA) my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.(EB) 55 Though you do not know him,(EC) I know him.(ED) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.(EE) 56 Your father Abraham(EF) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it(EG) and was glad.”

57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”

58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born,(EH) I am!”(EI) 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him,(EJ) but Jesus hid himself,(EK) slipping away from the temple grounds.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi,(EL) who sinned,(EM) this man(EN) or his parents,(EO) that he was born blind?”

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.(EP) As long as it is day,(EQ) we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(ER)

After saying this, he spit(ES) on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”(ET) (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.(EU)

His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”(EV) Some claimed that he was.

Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”

But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”(EW)

12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.

“I don’t know,” he said.

The Pharisees Investigate the Healing

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.(EX) 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight.(EY) “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”

16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”(EZ)

But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?”(FA) So they were divided.(FB)

17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.”

The man replied, “He is a prophet.”(FC)

18 They(FD) still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”

20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders,(FE) who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out(FF) of the synagogue.(FG) 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”(FH)

24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,”(FI) they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”(FJ)

25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”

26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

27 He answered, “I have told you already(FK) and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”

28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!(FL) 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”(FM)

30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.(FN) 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God,(FO) he could do nothing.”

34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth;(FP) how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.(FQ)

Spiritual Blindness

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe(FR) in the Son of Man?”(FS)

36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”(FT)

37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”(FU)

38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.(FV)

39 Jesus said,[g] “For judgment(FW) I have come into this world,(FX) so that the blind will see(FY) and those who see will become blind.”(FZ)

40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”(GA)

41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.(GB)

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.(GC) The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(GD) The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.(GE) He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.(GF) When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.(GG) But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech,(GH) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(GI)

Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(GJ) the gate(GK) for the sheep. All who have come before me(GL) are thieves and robbers,(GM) but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[h] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,(GN) and have it to the full.(GO)

11 “I am(GP) the good shepherd.(GQ) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(GR) 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.(GS) Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd;(GT) I know my sheep(GU) and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father(GV)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.(GW) 16 I have other sheep(GX) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock(GY) and one shepherd.(GZ) 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life(HA)—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.(HB) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”(HC)

19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided.(HD) 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed(HE) and raving mad.(HF) Why listen to him?”

21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.(HG) Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”(HH)

Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims

22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[i] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.(HI) 24 The Jews(HJ) who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”(HK)

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you,(HL) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,(HM) 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.(HN) 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,(HO) and they follow me.(HP) 28 I give them eternal life,(HQ) and they shall never perish;(HR) no one will snatch them out of my hand.(HS) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,(HT) is greater than all[j];(HU) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(HV)

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(HW) 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(HX)

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(HY) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[k]?(HZ) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(IA) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(IB) 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(IC) as his very own(ID) and sent into the world?(IE) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(IF) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(IG) 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”(IH) 39 Again they tried to seize him,(II) but he escaped their grasp.(IJ)

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan(IK) to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign,(IL) all that John said about this man was true.”(IM) 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.(IN)

The Death of Lazarus

11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,(IO) the village of Mary and her sister Martha.(IP)
