6	Nowe he said this, not that he cared for the poore, but because hee was a theefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was giuen.	He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.

17	The people therefore that was with him, bare witnesse that hee called Lazarus out of the graue, and raised him from the dead.

24	Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except the wheate corne fall into the grounde and die, it bideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth foorth much fruite.	Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.	Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
25	He that loueth his life, shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall.

26	If any man serue me, let him followe me: for where I am, there shall also my seruant be: and if any man serue me, him will my Father honour.	If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.	Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27	Now is my soule troubled: and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre: but therefore came I vnto this houre.	“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.	“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’?

28	Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voyce from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and will glorifie it againe.	Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”	Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29	Then saide the people that stoode by, and heard, that it was a thunder: other said, An Angel spake to him.	The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”	The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

33	Nowe this sayd he, signifying what death he should die.	He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.	He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.
34	The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that that Christ bideth for euer: and howe sayest thou, that that Sonne of man must be lift vp? Who is that Sonne of man?	So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”	The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35	Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Yet a litle while is the light with you: walke while ye haue that light, lest the darkenes come vpon you: for hee that walketh in the darke, knoweth not whither he goeth.	So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.	Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.
36	While ye haue that light, beleeue in that light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and hid himselfe from them.	While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.	Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.
37	And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleeued they not on him,	Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,	Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.
38	That the saying of Esaias the Prophete might be fulfilled, that he sayd, Lord, who beleeued our report? and to whome is the arme of the Lord reueiled?	so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”	This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39	Therefore could they not beleeue, because that Esaias saith againe,	Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said,	For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40	He hath blinded their eyes, and hardned their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and should be conuerted, and I should heale them.	“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”	“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.”
41	These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory, and spake of him.	Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.	Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.
42	Neuertheles, euen among the chiefe rulers, many beleeued in him: but because of the Pharises they did not confesse him, least they should be cast out of the Synagogue.	Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;	Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;
43	For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.	for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.	for they loved human praise more than praise from God.
44	And Iesus cryed, and sayd, He that beleeueth in me, beleeueth not in me, but in him that sent me.	And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.	Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.
45	And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.	And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.	The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.
46	I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth in me, should not abide in darkenes.	I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.	I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47	And if any man heare my wordes, and beleeue not, I iudge him not: for I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world.	If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.	“If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48	He that refuseth me, and receiueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: the worde that I haue spoken, it shall iudge him in the last day.	The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.	There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
49	For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the Father which sent me, hee gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I should speake.	For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.	For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.
50	And I knowe that his commaundement is life euerlasting: the thinges therefore that I speake, I speake them so as the Father sayde vnto me.	And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”	I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”
