Publication Notice
A new fresh rendition of the New Testament is to be published as an online serial under the title of Read I.R.E.N.T., as a work-in-progress, in Adobe PDF file format, accessible freely through the web. It strives for clarity in living everyday English, staying away from the style of the traditional Biblical English in use in most of conventional translations and in church talk. It is a common peoples English but no less dignified, with its content not adulterated with ones own personal opinion and message as seen in several popular modern publications, which have often gone beyond the limit of paraphrase and actually into a rewriting. The title I.R.E.N.T., chosen for the translation text work itself, is an acronym for Invitation to Reading in English New Testament.

This issue is Readers Edition of I.R.E.N.T. Vol.1, No. 1, Gospel of John (as most commonly called) in English with the footnotes. All the Endnotes are found in the Study Ready Edition - Endnotes to be used along with the Study Ready Edition Text.

(John 1)
Prologue

1:1-18

Prologue
1:1

In beginning [+] a was present the Logos b [1Jn 1:1]

indeed, what God is, e the Logos was! [1:14]
1:2

yes, the Logos was as with c Elohim d;

This very One f was present in beginning

as with
1:3

Elohim.

All things were through the very Logos to have come into existence; And apart from His doing g

nothing was made- that which has come#4 to be.

1:4

In Him was Life, [1Jn 1:1]

and this Life was the only true Light for mankind.
1:5

And this Light is shining into the darkness, {Gen 1:5}

and the darkness has not prevailed h over it. [1Jn 1:5]
1:6

((There came a man who has been sent forth from Gods presence his name was Yohanan i.

1:1 In beginning [+] [+ of Gods creation work]); [Gk. en arch Gen 1:1 LXX. (not in the period of beginning or at the start)]; /x: in the beginning most; [be present rather than was existing.] b 1:1 the Logos [Only here and 1Jn 1:1; 1Jn 5:7b v.l.] [the Logos of Elohim = Gods self-expression into action (as in creation & revelation). Not a separate being from Elohim; not a Person, but personified as the pre-incarnate God-being, v. 14. It is not God the Son, nor Jesus.]; />> Word most; [See BW.] c 1:1 as with [Gk. pros (face-to-face) towards before facing, e.g. Eph. 3:14 pros ton patera (to the Father) [Cf. meta (together with) or sun (along with)] d 1:1b Elohim /x: God most; (Gk. ho theos the God, not God); [His person-name is YHWH (Exo 6:3) Cf. Jn 5:43; cf. Adonai 1:23; YHWH Elohim Exo 3:15] [See BW for *Elohim, *YHWH.] e 1:1c what God is [also in Rm 9:5] [anarthrous noun theos in the emphatic position used as adjectival. The Logos is NOT called here as God.] [not the God (Elohim) in v.1b.]; /> what God was NEB; /x: God most; /x: divine; /xx: a god NWT; [See Logos in BW.] f 1:2 very One [= the Logos. Cf.

1:7

This one came to be witness testifying about this Light,

1:8

so that all should hear and come to believe it [Cf. 12:36; 20:31] through [the testimony of] him; he himself was not that Light, but was here to testify about that Light.)) This light was [indeed] on its way into the world the true Light shining upon every human being. Thus in the world He was the world that which was made through Him; Yet, the very world did not come to acknowledge Him. [+ In particular] He came to His own; Yet, His own people would not all come to receive Him in. Yet, as many as would accept Him, yes, the ones coming to believe in His name, He had them get privileged to become Gods dear-children [1Jn 3:1-2] as they were begotten not from a blood-line [+ such as of Abraham], nor from a desire of flesh-and-blood [3:6], nor from a human fathers desire to have them,
but from God Himself. [3:1-8]

1:9

1:10

1:11

1:12

1:13

1:14 a

Thus the very Logos made himself become flesh and blood [+] a and took up his presence b [for earthly life] in our midst, And we saw his glory such glory as o only brought-forth c son[v. 18] from alongside with his father the Logos full of grace and truth [of God]!

1:15

((Yohanan does testify about him [cf. 21:24] and shouted, saying
This was the One I myself have spoken about:

1:14 become flesh and blood [+] [+ of true humanity] [as a human person; not just a human being, nor a God-man.] [Incarnate Logos (also 1Jn 4:2-3; Phi 2:7) .What became flesh is the Logos, not the God (v.1b).][Related but different from Immanuel (Mt 1:23, With us is Elohim).] [See *Logos in BW] b 1:14 took up his presence (lit. pitched a tent); /x: took up residence NET, HCSB; /> dwelt - KJV; [skno only once here in NT outside Revelation.] [fully human Cf. 1:1c] [See *tabernacle in BW] c 1:14, 18 only brought-forth (also 3:16, 18; 1Jn 4:9, 10); /one-and-only; /x: only begotten KJV (etymological root fallacy)] [not being generated, derived, born, created, etc. See only begotten in BW ]

<The One coming after me has, in fact, come to be ahead of me>, because, before I was he was in existence.))
1:16

And a, out of from his fullness b we, all of us, have received yes, grace upon grace. {Exo 33:13 LXX}

1:17

Indeed, as the Torah was given through Moshe; c the very grace and the truth [from God] came to be with us through Yeshua d haMashiah. e

Yohanans Testimony for Yeshua

1:19-28
1:19

Yohanans testimony for Yeshua

And this is the testimony given by this Yohanan

when the Judean authorities sent {to him} from Yerusalem a [a formal deputation of] kohanim and Levites to question him, <You, who are you supposed to be?>: he spoke out openly to make the fact clear, and did not refuse to give a clear answer Yes, he did speak out openly,
replying with this in his own words: I myself am not the very Mashiah [yo people have been eagerly waiting for].

1:20

1:21

And they asked him, What then? You, you are supposed to be Eliyahu [to come again][Mal 4:5]? And he said, Of course Im not.
[They asked,] The very prophet? {Deu 18:15} [cf. 6:14; Act 3:22; 7:37] Are you yourself this prophet [the long promised one to be raised up]?

And he answered, No.

1:22

Therefore they said to him, Who are you? Look, we are asking! Tell us so that we may bring a reply back to those who have sent us: What do you say of yourself?{ Isa 40:3}
He said, I, yes, I am <A voice of someone shouting in the desert-wilderness b [1:28] do make straight the way for Adonai c.>

1:23

((as Yeshayahu d the prophet said)).

1:24

((There, some having been sent forth were from among the Pharisees.)) And they asked him saying Then how is it that you are immersing people in the river [+ not just to the proselytes but to all comers], if, as you say, you yourself are not the very Mashiah,

1:25

1:19ff Yerusalem /Jerusalem; [Heb. Yerushalayim] 1:23 desert-wilderness (= Mk 1:4; Lk 3:4) [= Bethany on the east across River Jordan (that is, in Perea) Jn 1:28][Arid region; not outdoor wilderness or sand desert.] [See *wilderness in BW.] c 1:23ff Adonai [Gk. kurios Lord][Note: Where Gods very name should be known (often in Synoptic Gospels), IRENT renders it as YHWH (vocalized as Adonai; pronounced as Yahweh etc. /x: Jehovah). See BW.] /> LORD; /x: the Lord; d 1:23 Yeshayahu /Isaiah; /
a b

neither Eliyahu, nor that promised prophet?

1:26

1:27

Yohanan answered them, saying I on my part immerse them with water [as yo see] But, [yo should see ] among yo there is One standing whom yo have not known the One coming even after me but I am not worthy to loosen the strap of his sandals. ((These things took place in Bethany{/mss} [on the east] across the River Jordan, a where Yohanan was immersing people in the river.))
Yohanan faces Yeshua

1:28

Yohanan faces Yeshua

1:29-28
1:29

On the next day Yohanan, seeing Yeshua coming toward him, exclaimed, Behold, there, the Lamb of Elohim! [v. 36] [Is 53:7; Ex 12:5] [Cf. 1Co 5:7; Rev 13:8]
the One who takes away the sin b [1Jn 3:5; cf. Heb 9:28] of the world bearing it upon himself. This is the very One I meant when I said, <After me there comes a man who has [really] come ahead of me: because he was in existence before I was.>[1:15] Yes, I myself had not known him [as to whom he is to be] c; Yet, if I [on my part] did come [on the scene] immersing people in {the} water it was for him to be revealed to Yisrael. Then giving testimony, Yohanan said, Ive seen the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove does and coming to rest upon him. Yes, it is true,

1:30

1:31

1:32

1:33

I on my part did not know him: yet the very One who sent me to immerse people in water had said to me this: <Youll see the Spirit descending from heaven and coming to rest on the very One who is going to immerse [people] in holy spirit!>
1:28 Bethany ~ across the Jordan River [on its eastern bank, = Bethany in Perea (not in Judea).] 1:29ff sin [sin in an abstract sense refers to the humanitys alienated/estranged status from God. Cf. sin nature sin power sin guilt sin penalty sin problem.] [cf. 8:46] [cf. sins, in a concrete sense in OT, refers to what is done against Gods will (as revealed in the Law of Moshe).][See BW for sinsins] c 1:31 did not know him [as to who he is to be] [they knew each other, as they were enate their mothers Mariam and Elisheba are relative - Lk 1:26 & 36]

1:34

Now indeed I myself have seen him as it happened; And, here I am, Ive [ever since] been testifying [to yo all] that this-One is [truly] the [very] Son of Elohim! a
Andrew and Kefa

Andrew and Kefa

1:35-42
1:35

On the next day, Yohanan was once again there

standing with two of his own disciples b; and, observing Yeshua who was walking by, he exclaims again, Look, there, the very Lamb of Elohim! [v. 29] And Yohanans own two disciples, hearing him say this, went off to follow Yeshua. When, Yeshua, on having turned around, saw them following, he asked them, What is it that yo are looking for? And they said to him, Rabbi c we wish to know where you are staying. ((which says, as interpreted, teacher d))[Cf. 20:16]

1:36

1:37

1:38

[1:39]

1:39[40]

He says to them, Come, [Ill invite you] and you will see [where I am]. They went along with him and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him the rest of that day. ((It was about in the tenth hour-period [+] e.))

[3 ~ 4 p.m.]

1:40[41]

Here, one of the two who heard what Yohanan had said and now have come after Yeshua

was Andrew, brother of Shimon f Kefa g.

1:41[42]

The first thing this Andrew did was

to seek out his own brother Shimon; and came upon him, Andrew said
a 1:34 Son of Elohim (1:49; 5:25; etc.); (Cf. Gods Son Mt 27:43); /Son of God most; [son is a special relational term; not of a biological-social notion. As to Yeshua it denotes His unique relation to God. It is also a title for the Messiah of YHWH. Not God the Son.] [See Son of God under BW] b 1:35ff disciples [life-committed learners to a teacher-master. (Heb. talmidim - Etym. related to Talmud). Cf. pupils, students.] c 1:38 ff Rabbi (1:49; 3:2, 26; 4:31; 6:25; 9:2; 11:8) [Heb. my great one; my master]; [Cf. 20:16] d 1:38 ff teacher [not the meaning of the Hebrew word]; most; /master - KJV!, BBE; [Cf.

1:42[43] 1:42b

Weve finally found the [long-awaited] MASHIAH! a ((which is translated as anointed one.)) b and then took him to Yeshua. Giving an attentive look at him, Yeshua said, So, [its] you, you must be Shimon, the son of Yohan c {/mss}! As for you, you shall be called KEFA d! ((which is translated as Peter#4 [in Greek, meaning 'stone pebble'].))

Philip and Nathanael

1:43-51
1:43[44]

Philip and Nathanael

On the next day,

Yeshua set-out to depart-for Galilee.

And coming upon Philip, Yeshua says to him, Be a follower of me!

1:44[45]

((This Philip hailed from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Kefa.)) Philip then finds Nathanael and tells him, The one Moshe wrote about in the books of the Law and the Nebiim e were sure we have found him! Its Yeshua ben-Yosef from Nazareth! And Nathanael asked him, You say, from Nazareth? Can any good come out of [a small town] like that?! Philip says to him, Come with me [at once] and see yourself!

1:45[46]

1:46[47]

1:47[48]

Yeshua saw Nathanael approaching this is what he said about him, See! here is an Yisraelite f true to its name a man with nothing false in him! Nathanael says to him

1:48[49]

1:42 MASHIAH [i.e. Mashiah of YHWH in a Davidic figure.] [GNT has it only here and 4:25 as Messias, transliteration of Heb. Mashiach. IRENT puts it in all capital letters. Elsewhere Christos in Greek, which IRENT renders as Mashiah e.g. 3:28; 4:42, etc.] b 1:42 anointed one (same as in 4:25) [It is used here not for a title Mashiah here, but for its meaning. = anointed One of YHWH for a kohen, king, or prophet.]; /x: Christ ( - anachronism); /xx: the Christ KJV; c 1:42ff Yohan /John most; [except Yohanan for the baptizer and John for the Gospel title] d 1:42 KEFA (See v. 40); /x: Cephas (inaccurate English transliterate); [His Aramaic name Kefa appears in the Gospels only once here and in several places in Pauline letters (Gal 1:18 etc.); IRENT so renders for Peter throughout NT.] e 1:45ff Nebiim [Heb. i.e. the Books of Prophets; /> Prophets] f 1:48 Yisraelite /Israelite
a

How did you come to know know me? Answering him Yeshua said It was before Philip came to you to call, while you were sat under the fig-tree that I did see you there.
1:49[50]

Nathanael replied to him, [exclaiming] Rabbi You [truly] are the Son of Elohim a! You [surely] are King of Yisrael b! In reply, Yeshua said to him I said to you that I saw and observed you [+] c underneath the fig-tree, Is it how you come about to believe [what I say]? Nathanael, youll see greater signs than these! Yes, indeed, and he continued, I say, then, to all yo here: {hereafter} yoll be seeing the heaven open up and the angels of Elohim going up and coming down upon the Son-of-man.

2:2

there was a wedding feast taking place at the town of Cana in Galilee, and the mother d of Yeshua was there: Also invited there to the marriage feast was Yeshua as well as [a handful] disciples e of him. And as the wine running out, Yeshuas mother comes and talks to him,

The table-master calls the bridegroom, and says to him, Everyone does bring out the best wine first. Then, once people have drunk up freely, he would serve the ordinary one. You, you have saved the best wine till now! ((Yeshua did this as beginning of the signs [of Gods love] in Cana in Galilee.

2:13

Temple incident a

And the Festival of Pesach b ((of the Yahudim c)) was near
and Yeshua went up to Yerusalem. [1st Pesach, CE 28][ 6:4] And in the Temple Court he came upon those engaged in selling oxen and sheep and doves and also the currency dealers sitting there. Having made {something like} a whip with cords he drove all out of the Temple courts both sheep and oxen, and of the coin exchangers, he scattered off the coins, and knocked over their tables. and to those selling the doves he said, Take these out of here! Stop making my Father's House d a house of merchants. {Zec 14:21} ((And his disciples remembered that it is written, <Zeal for Your House will eat me up.>{Ps. 69:9})) The Judean authorities, however, responded, saying to him, What sign [of authority] can you show us for your doing these things? In answer Yeshua said to them, Yo tear down this Temple Sanctuary and in three days I will raise it up. [cf. Mt 26:61; //Mk 14:58] Thereupon the Judean authorities said, It was forty six years ago this Temple Sanctuary began re-building and has stood since and, you Ha! you will raise it up in three days?! ((There, Yeshua himself was speaking of the temple it was [in fact] of his own body he was speaking When, therefore, he was raised from out of dead ones, his disciples came to remember that he used to say this, and they believed the scripture in Tanakh and the saying which Yeshua had spoken.))

Thus, while he was up in Yerusalem for the Pesach, many during that festival came to believe in his name, seeing the signs which he was showing forth.[4:45] ((Yeshua, on his part, however, did not entrust himself to them. [in complete confidence]. as he himself knew them [quite well] one and all [ how fickle human beings are]; [cf. 6:15] yes, it was that there was no need for anyone to tell him what human beings are; for he himself knew what was deep down in man.))

Now there was a man belonging to the Pharisees,

by the name of Nicodemus, [cf. 7:50; 19:39] a Judean leader [of the Sanhedrin Council].

3:2

This man came to see Yeshua at night. a Rabbi b he said, we have come to know that surely from God as a teacher youve come [to us];

No one, obviously, could show forth these signs that you are showing [to people], unless the very Elohim be with the person [here].
3:3@

In answer c Yeshua said to him, Yes, indeed. Im telling you this: <Unless generated afresh from above d, [cf. Rev 1:15] no one can see e the Kingdom reign of Elohim.> [cf. v.5] Nicodemus says to him, [Hmmm from above?

Think of the wind [in breeze] it breathes where it wishes to and you hear the sound of it, but dont know from where its coming and where it is going: so it is with everyone who is being generated a-out of the spirit-a. [1:13] g In reply, Nicodemus said to him, How can these things happen? Yeshua responded, saying to him, You who are the very teacher in Yisrael! yet these matters you dont understand?! Yes, indeed. Im telling you, Nicodemus, we speak about what we know and testify of what weve seen.

Yohanans testimony

After these things [in Yerusalem]

Yeshua with his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, and there he remained with them [for some time] and was immersing people in the river. [cf. 4:2] Meanwhile Yohanan also was immersing at Aenon near Salim, since plenty of water was there. and people kept coming to him to be immersed. ((it is that Yohanan had not yet been thrown into prison.)) [cf. Mt 4:12 = Mk 1:14; Cf. Lk 3:20] There occurred a dispute on the part of Yohanan's disciples with Judeans{/mss} b concerning the matter of purification [ritual]. So they came back to Yohanan, and said to him Rabbi The man who was with you beyond the Jordan River whom you have been testifying about see, this one is now immersing people in the river and all are coming-flocking to him! In answer Yohanan said, Nothing one can receive, unless it is given to him from the heaven. Yo yourselves are witnesses to what I said, <I myself am not the very Mashiah.>

It is what he has seen and heard that he himself testifies; but as for his testimony yet no one has come to accept it; Whoever accept his testimony, however, [1Jn 5:10] does put a seal to the fact that Elohim is of truth. Indeed, it is the very words of Elohim that are spoken by him whom Elohim has sent so much without limit is the gift God makes of His Spirit. The Father loves this Son and has given all things into his hand. Anyone who comes to believe in the Son thus lays hold of Life eternal; as for the one refusing to obey the Son they+ will not see and experience Life, but rather the wrath of Elohim remains on them+.))

Departure from Judea

Now a report had reached the Pharisees that

<Yeshua was making and immersing more disciples than Yohanan!>

4:2

(( although actually it was not Yeshua himself who was immersing people,

And when Yeshua{/mss} became aware of this, he left Judea and [once again] set out again for Galilee.
A Samaritan woman

4:4

And it was necessary for him [cf. v. 34] to pass through [the region of] SAMARIA. [+] a [4:43] So here he comes to a town in SAMARIA, called Sychar, near to the historical plot of land that Yaakob b the patriarch handed down to his son Yosef. In fact, a spot known as Yaakobs fountain was there. Now it happened that Yeshua, as being wearied from the journey, thus came to sit down by this fountain. ((It was about in the sixth hour-period c.))
[ 11 a.m. - noon]

4:5

4:6

4:7

There came [upon the scene] a Samaritan

woman to draw water. Yeshua said to her: [. . . Mind if I ask you?] give me some water to drink.
((You see, his disciples had gone off into the town to buy some food.)) Taking notice [+] d, the Samaritan woman said to him: How is it that you being a Judean e you think of asking for a drink of water from me! being a Samaritan, yes, even a woman. (({The harsh fact of life is that [+] f Yahudim refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans.}))

4:8 4:9

The woman says to him: Sir, you have nothing with you to draw water, do you? yes, the well is quite deep, as you saw. Then, where on earth do you get that living water? You certainly are not claiming to be greater than our fore-father Yaakob, are you?
You know,

he gave us this well; [+] b he himself took water from it, also his sons and his cattle, didnt they? [+] c

In answer Yeshua said to her, Everyone who keeps on drinking from this very water will thirst again: but whoever drinks from the water that I myself am going to give themh will never thirst! d On the contrary, the water that Im going to give themh will become in themh a fountain of water gushing-up {Is 35:6}[cf. Isa 12:3] to bring Life eternal. The woman says to him: Sir, give me that water so that I shall not get thirsty, nor have to keep coming over here to draw water. Yeshua says to her: Go . . .

4:20

4:21

Yeshua says to her: Dear lady believe me [in what I say] the hour is coming, when, neither on this mountain, nor in Yerusalem, yo people shall be worshiping the Father!
Yo people Samaritans, on yor part, worship what yo do not know; we on our part [in Judaic faith] worship what we know ((It is that through the [the line of] Yahudim c comes the very salvation d [for all people] [from the Father].))

But the hour is coming indeed, it is here now

when the true worshippers will worship the Father yes, in spirit and truth; Yes, indeed, the Father on His part seeks such ones to be those worshipping Him.
4:24

((As spirit is, such is Elohim. e So, as for those worshiping Him, it is in spirit and truth[14:6] that they ought to worship.)) [cf. Rm 12:1] The woman says to him: I know this much that someone to be MASHIAH f is coming. [+] g ((the One who is called Anointed h.))

Yeshua says to her: I, the One here talking to you I am the very one. And just then, his disciples came back and were astonished to find him talking with [such] a woman. ((Yet no one said [to her], <What is it you are looking for [from him]?> Or [to him], <How is it that you are talking with her?>))

4:27

4:28

4:29

Then, leaving her water-jar behind, the woman went off into the town and told the people , Come, see. Here is a person, who does tell me everything that Ive ever done. This is not, Im afraid, the very Mashiah, is it?
[To see himself for themselves] they came out of the town,

4:30

making their way towards him.

4:31

Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying Rabbi a, take here something to eat. But he said to them, I actually do have food [+ for yo all] to eat the food yo on yor part know nothing about. Therefore the disciples said to one another, <Can it be that someone has brought him anything to eat?> Yeshua said to them, As to the food why yes! in truth its the very doing of the will of Him who has sent me here and bringing the work of Him to completion thats what the very food of mine is.

Wouldnt yo say that there are yet four months and then comes the [wheat] harvest? Look, I say to yo: <Lift up yor eyes and look at the fields!> See that they are ripe and ready for harvesting Already!

4:36

4:37

4:38

The harvester is receiving wages, gathering up harvest for Life eternal thus the sower and the harvester may rejoice together. Here, indeed, this saying holds true: <One man sows, another harvests.> I did send yo to harvest what yo on yor own have not labored for; But, it is others that have labored and yo on yor part walked into the field of their labor.
<The Samaritans respond whohe-hearted>

4:39

4:40

4:41

4:42

And many of the Samaritans from that town came to believe in him through the word of woman who said in testimony <He did tell me all things Ive done!> So when the Samaritans came to him, they were requesting him to stay with them and he remained there two days. And many more [Samaritans] came to believe in Him because of the word he gave out to them; and they said to the woman, It is no longer through what you told us that we are now believing [what He did]; [cf. v. 48, 53] you see, now we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is truly the savior of the world {the very Mashiah a}.

Then, after the two days he left [Samaria] to head for GALILEE;

4:44

Indeed, Yeshua himself had testified[Mt 13:57; Mk 6:4] that in ones own home place no prophet receives honor. Well, when he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans expectantly received him with welcome from all the things they had seen that he had done in Yerusalem at the Festival [of Pesach],[2:23] ((in fact they themselves too had been at that Festival [2:13]))

And in Capernaum there was a certain royal-official a, whose son was sick.

Therefore Yeshua said to him, Unless yo people see signs and wonders, no, none of yo are going to believe at all! The officer said to him, Do come down, sir, before my child dies. Yeshua said to him, Go home | Your son shall live. And the man believed the word that Yeshua spoke to him and he went his way.

By now [+] b while he was on his way back [to Copernaum] his servants were coming up and met him and reported, saying <Your child lives!> So, hearing this, he asked them at what time the child got better.

Healing at the pool of Bethesda

After these things was a{/mss} festival a ((of the Yahudim)),

and Yeshua too went up to Yerusalem . Now [+ just north of the Temple Mount] there is in Yerusalem its nearby the Sheep Gate a [large] pool, b called Bethesda{/mss} in Hebrew language, having surrounded by five colonnades. Under these colonnades were laid down a large number of those who were sick blind, lame, paralytic {waiting for the water to be stirred up}. (({It is that an angel c would descend from time to time to the pool and disturb the water: whoever first then stepped in after the water got agitated was made restored to health from whatever one was suffering from.})) And a certain man was there, who for thirty {and} eight years had been sick. Yeshua saw this man lying there and when he [came to] know that he had already been sick [in this way] for a long time, he says to him, . . . Do you want to be restored? The sick man replied him, Sir, [Dont you see here?] not a [single] soul I find to thrust me into the pool when the water gets stirred up!

The day of work and its meaning

5:10

So the Judean authorities said to the one who had been healed, [Whoa!] It is shabbat! [Dont you see?] It is not allowed for you to pick up and carry your straw pallet! He replied them, The very One who made me restored to health, that man just said to me, <Pick up your straw pallet and walk!> Then they asked him, Who is this fellow who just said to you, <Pick it up {your straw pallet} and walk>? But the one who had been healed did not know who it was; ((as for Yeshua, he had by then moved away [from the scene], there being quite a number of people in the place.)) Afterwards, Yeshua finds him up in the Temple court, and said to him Look Youve been made well again! No longer be sinning, or something worse may befall you. As for this man, he went off to the Judean authorities to report that it was Yeshua who had made him restored to health. ((And because of this, the Judean authorities began to go after b on Yeshua with their ill intent {and sought to bring him to death} because he did things such as these [why of all days but] on shabbat!)) But {Yeshua} responded to them, As for my Father, even until right now, He has been working[Gn 2:2]; so do I on my part keep on working as well.

In fact, not even does the Father judge anyone, but has entrusted all the judging [authority] to the Son [5:27; 9:39] so that all may honor the Son, just-as they honor the Father.

Feeding five thousands

[4:46]

After these things, Yeshua took off [from Capernaum]

[in a small-ship] b [some distance hugging the north shore] c to the east across the Lake of Galilee, d (([to be known as] the Lake of Tiberias e [6:23; 21:1])).
6:2

6:3

And a large crowd was following him, because they saw from him the signs which he did on those who were sick. And Yeshua went up into the mountain and sat there with his disciples.

6:4

Now coming near was the Pesach,

((the festival of the Yahudim)).

[2nd Pesach, CE 29 2:13; 11:55]

6:5

6:6

Looking-up, then, and seeing that a large crowd is now approaching him, Yeshua said to Philip, Where shall we buy loaves of bread for these people to eat? ((And he was saying this to test him:

[+] [+ On the contrary, in the great final judgment I will be the Judge, not the prosecuting counsel!] b 6:1 [in a small-ship] [- Mt & Mk] c 6:1 [some distance along the north shore] [about 3 miles from Capernaum] d 6:1 to the west across the Lake [In Lk 9:10 it was towards a desert-wilderness place near Bethsaida [Julia] on the north shore of the Lake.] e 6:1 Lake of Tiberias [Also called Lake Gennesaret Lk 5:1]

as he himself knew what he was about to do.))

6:7

Philip answered him, Two hundred denarius' worth of loaves is not enough for each of them to get even a little. One of his disciples, Andrew ((the brother of Shimon Kefa )) said him, There is a boy here, who has five barley loaves! and two small-fish. But what are these for so many people?
But Yeshua said,

6:8

6:9

6:10

Have the people recline. ((Now much grass was in the place.)) So the mmen reclined, in number about five thousand.
6:11

And Yeshua took the loaves, and, having given thanks [+] a, he {gave to the disciples; they then} distributed them to those who had sat down and did same with the two fish. Thus, they all got as much as desired. And when they had their fill, he says to his disciples, Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing should be wasted. Thereupon they gathered together and filled twelve baskets with pieces left over by those who had eaten from the five barley loaves. Therefore when the people saw the sign{/mss} b that Yeshua had given, they said, Truly this one is the very prophet [1:21] we have been told that he was to come into the world! Then, Yeshua on his part, knowing that they were about to come and carry him off to proclaim him a (Messianic) king, went away {once again} into the hill [to be] by himself alone.

And when evening came,

his disciples went down on to the Lake b; and they embarked on {the} small ship [+] c and set out westward across the Lake heading back for Capernaum [v. 24]. And by now it was dark. (( yes, Yeshua on his part had not {as yet} joined them.)) [Cf. Mt 14:22-23 //Mk 6:45-47] Meanwhile, as a strong wind was blowing, the sea was getting turbulent. Thus they had been pushing their fishing ship through [rowing hard] for about three to four miles d [+ as hugging the shoreline]; e then they caught a sight of someone f walking about on the [shore of] Lake g and nearer towards the ship he was coming up. And they became apprehensive. But he says to them, Its me! Do not be afraid! ((It was Yeshua!))

On the next day, as for the crowd that had been staying

Then {other} small ships{/mss} b from the city Tiberias came ashore near the place where they had eaten the bread (({after the Master had given thanks})).

And when Galilean crowd found him along with His disciples

they asked him, Rabbi, when did you get here!

6:26

In reply, Yeshua said to them, Yes, indeed! I say to yo: Yo are again looking for me now? It is not because yo have seen and understood signs [so as to believe], but it is because yo ate all the loaves of bread you wanted and your hunger was once satisfied
[and yo now want again, isnt that it?]

6:27

Do not be laboring so much for the food that is going to run out, but rather for the food that is kept supplied [for yo] to Life eternal the food which the a-Son-of-man-a will give to yo. [6:48] ((It is this One Son-of-man on whom the Father, yes the very Elohim c, has put His seal of approval.))

Yerusalem Festival of Sukkoth (? C.E. 29)

SECTION 7:1 10:21

(John 7) Festival of Tents 7:1-52
7:1

Festival of Sukkoth: Theme: Living water

And after these things

Yeshua continued to go about for a time within Galilee, ((Indeed, he did not want to go about in Judea [ not yet], as the Judean authorities were [already] seeking him to put to death.))

7:2

7:3@

7:4

7:5 7:6

Now, the Festival ((for the Yahudim)) was near that is, the Sukkoth. a [Lev 23:34-36] [7:37] So his brothers, challenging him, told, Why dont you move over from here and go up into Judea? That way your disciples also may see up there such [great] works you do, You see, no one who wants to be recognized publicly does anything in obscurity. If you do such things as these, (then better) show yourself off to the world! ((In fact, even his brothers had not come to believe in him.)) Therefore Yeshua says to them, The due-time for me is not yet here; But the due-time for yo is always ready. The world cannot hate yo; but it hates me, because I testify against it that its works/acts are evil. As for yo all, yo better go up now and get to the festival! As for me, I am not{/mss} going up [openly; with yo] to be at this festival; because my appointed due-time is not yet fully come.

7:7

7:8

a 7:2 Sukkoth = the Festival of Booths; [seven days in 7th month Tishri from 15th (= shabbat) to 21st (= called Hoshana Rabbah; "Great Hoshana"; Great day = Jn 7:30), which is followed, in the Scripture-based calendar, by a shabbat.]; [themes water; waving of leafy branches or palm fronds][Mentioned only once here in N.T.] [Hanukkah is in two months 10:22]

7:9

And having said these to them, he stayed behind in Galilee. But after his brothers took off to the festival, then he himself also was about to go up, not openly, but {as it were} incognito. Meanwhile the Judean authorities were looking around for him at the festival, saying: <Wonder where that man is now?> And there was great murmuring among the crowds about him: some said: < A good man he is >; others said: <No, no; hes misleading the crowd>. ((Yet no one, of course, would speak out loud openly about him as they were afraid of their Judean authorities.))
Not until when the festival was already halfway through, Yeshua did go up [to Yerusalem and] into the Temple courts and began teaching there. And the Yerusalem Judeans were at wonder, saying How does this man such unschooled one know written stuff?

To them Yeshua gave this reply, My teaching a is not of my own, but of the One who has sent me. Anyone desiring to do Gods will shall know whether this teaching of mine is from Elohim or whether I am speak on my own authority from myself. The man who speaks from himself is seeking glory of his own: but someone that seeks to honor the One who has sent him that one who is sent is truthful and in Him there is no unrighteousness.

7:16 teaching (didach) /xx: doctrine KJV

7:19

Didnt Moshe give yo the Torah a? And yet none of yo obeys the Law. Why are yo seeking to put me to death? The crowd answered, Youve got a demon! Who is seeking to put you to death? In answer Yeshua said to them, One deed [of healing] I did [ on shabbat], [5:1-9] and yo are all still shocked; for such matter as this, here it is: since it was Moshe who has given yo [the practice of] brit-milah b ((not that it is from Moshe himself, but actually from the Patriarchs)), to obey Moshe even on shabbat yo do a boy's brit-milah. If a male child can get brit-milah on shabbat so that the Law of Moshe may not be broken, why it is with me yo get bitterly-angry seeing that I made a man wholey sound in health on shabbat? Stop judging from the outward-appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. This made some of Yerusalem people come out with these remarks: Isnt this the man the authorities are out to bring to death? And yet, see he speaks openly and they say nothing confronting him! Can it be that the ruling authorities have actually come to acknowledge that this man is the very Mashiah?
But surely not! We well know where this man is from. Yet, when the very Mashiah comes, no one is to know where he is from.

And so it came about that Yeshua shouted out loud as he was teaching in the Temple court, saying No doubt yo know me, and also know where I come from. Yet, it is not on my own that I have come. No, there is One who truly is. It is He who has sent me, and Him yo in fact do not know. I do know Him; because I am from Him. And that One has sent me forth.

7:29

7:19 Torah [Law commands and regulations; narrower sense than Torah (1:18) which God gave.] 7:22 brit-milah [circumcision-rite performed on 8-day old boys and serves as an important ethnic boundary marker for Israelites]; /x: circumcision;

7:30

At that they tried to seize him but no one could lay a hand on him, ((because his appointed hour had not yet come.)) [cf. 2:4; 12:23; 28-30]

7:31-32 Reaction of the Crowds and the Judean Authories 7:31 But many of the crowd came to believe in him,

and they said, The [promised] Mashiah, when he comes, will not do greater signs than what this man has done, will he? No.
7:32

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, so the chief kohanim and the Pharisees sent off attendants trying to get hold of him. [7:45] Therefore Yeshua said, Yet Ill be with yo for a little while before I go to the One who has sent me. Yoll look for me but will not find me and where I myself am to be, yo cannot come [7:37]. Then the Judean authorities said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? He is not going to go to our people in Diaspora among the Greeks and [even] teach the Greeks, is he? What is this word that he said? <Yo will seek me but will not find me, and where I am to be, yo cannot come.>

the Great Last day of this Festival of Sukkoth [7:2] [ 8:2; 9:14], Yeshua stood up and cried out, saying If anyone thirsts for, let him come, come now to me; [cf. 7:34] { Is 55:1} And let the one [come to] drink up, the one who comes to believe in me. as the Scripture has said.
Yes, from deep within this very One

{given out [afresh on to them]}

as Yeshua on his part was not yet glorified.))

7:40-44 Divided opinions among the people
7:40

Some of the crowd, on hearing these words, said, Surely this one is the very prophet [1:21] we have been told to expect. Others said: This ones got to be the very Mashiah! Others said: The very Mashiah does not come from Galilee, does he? Has not the Scripture say that the very Mashiah comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was [born and lived]? So the crowd was divided over Yeshua; some, indeed, were in favor of having him arrested; yet, in fact, there was no one who would lay a hand on him.

7:45

Then when the attendants returned [empty handed][ 7:32] to the chief kohanim and Pharisees, the latter said to them, Why havent yo brought him here? The attendants answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man! There the Pharisees responded, Yore not deceived too, are you? None of the leaders has come to believe in him, have they? Or any of the Pharisees? No! But aha! the rabble simply ignorant of the Torah! They are to be under Gods curse! Nicodemus[3:1; 19:39] (( the same one who had {on a previous occasion} come to him {at night} )) being one of them, the Pharisees says to them Surely our Torah does not judge to condemn a man, without hearing him first to find out what he is doing? Replying, they said to him, You yourself are not also from Galilee, are you? Why dont you search the Scripture and see that if any prophet ever comes{/mss} out of this Galilee!

brings with them a woman caught in adultery. After having her stand before them in the midst of all, they say to him, Teacher this woman got caught in the very act of committing adultery. In the Law, you see, Moshe commanded us that such women be put to death by stoning. What then do you on your part say {of her}? And they said this [rather] to put him to test [in contrivance], that they would trap to have grounds [of accusation] against him. But Yeshua, having stooped down, with his finger began writing down {Exo 31:18} something a in the ground {without taking notice of them}. Then, as they kept persisting in questioning him, he straightened himself up, and said to them, [Is there any?] the one innocent of such sins among yo let him be the first to throw {the} stone at her. And once more, stooping down, he continued writing on the ground. And when they heard the words he spoke {and, being convicted by their consciences} they went away one by one another, starting with the older ones, {to the last} and Yeshua was left alone with the woman standing in the midst of the court-yard. And Yeshua straightened himself up, and, seeing no one but the woman, said to her, {Dear lady} Where are they{/mss} b all now? None is there who has passed sentence of judgment on you? And she said, No one, Sir. And Yeshua said, Neither do I pass sentence of judgment on yo [I choose not to]. Go now [on your way]! From now on, be you not sinning anymore.}

Light to the world

At yet another time Yeshua spoke to them, [the people of Yerusalem], and this is what he said: I, yes I, am the light to the world. [9:5][cf. 1:14; 3:19; Isa 62:1] The one who is following me never shall walk{/mss} a in darkness, but will have the light of Life. So the Pharisees said to him, You, you bear testimony on your own behalf; your testimony alone can not be valid. In answer Yeshua said to them, Even though I am the one, [as yo might argue], who testifies about myself, my testimony is valid;[cf. 5:31] since I know where I have come from and where I am going; but yo on yor part have not come to know where I come from or where I am going. As for yo all, by mere human standards, yo yourselves are judging [even to reject me]; No, not me. I, on my part, do not judge anyone [the way yo do]. Yes, if indeed when it comes for me to judge, my judging would be valid; because it is not by myself [in this], [3:17;12:47 Cf. 5:22,27,30; 9:39] but I and the One who has sent me forth {Father}. Why, even in the very Torah yo are holding it is written there that the testimony of two men is valid. Here I am, testifying on my own behalf; moreover, testifying on my behalf me also is the Father who has sent me forth. Then they asked him, Where is this father of yours? Yeshua answered, Yo do not know me, nor do yo know my Father: Had yo known me, yo would have known my Father also.

((yet there was no one to lay hands on him to arrest; because his hour had not yet come)). Jn 8:21-29 Yeshua Foretells His Death 8:21 ThenYeshua said again to them, I, on my part, am going away and yoll be all looking for me. Yet yoll be dying off [+ buried] in yor sin: Where I myself am going, Yo all are not able to come.
8:22

At this the Judeans said, Hes not going to kill himself, is he? Yo did hear what he just said, didnt yo? <Where I go, yo are not able to come>! And he went on to tell them, Yo yourselves are from the realm below; I myself am from the realm above. Yo do belong to this world; I myself do not belong to this world. Already Ive told yo that yo're going to die in yor sins. Indeed, if yo do not yo believe that I am who I am [as I say], [cf. 8:58] yo will die off in yor sins. So they said to him, You? Who do you say you really are? And Yeshua said to them, Essentially I am that which I speak to yo. [+] a

8:23

8:24

8:25

8:26

Therefore, though I have many things [I wish ] to tell about yo and pass judgment upon. But, as the One who has sent me is truthful,

and it is the very things I have heard from Him that I on my part am telling to the world [to reveal who I am],
[+ though my Life-giving words, when they reject, turn into words of judgment].
8:27

((They did not still grasp that he was talking to them about the Father.)) [20:9]

8:25 Essentially I am that which I speak [+] [+ I am that which I speak; and that I have received from the Father; I have my definite testimony to give; and what I have to do.] [Taking the Greek word as ho ti. If taken as hoti, why do I speak to you at all? with the phrase tn archn understood differently.]

8:28

8:29

So Yeshua said to them, When once yo have lifted up the Son-of-man, [only] then yo shall know that I am who I am, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but just as the Father taught me I speak these things. Besides, the Father who has sent me is with me; He has not left me alone; because all the time I am doing what is pleasing to Him.

8:30-38 True disciples 8:30 As Yeshua was speaking these things, many came to believe in him. 8:31 So Yeshua said to those Judeans who had come to believe him, When yo, yo abide in what I have spoken to yo [as to who I am], yo are truly my disciples; 8:32 and yo [as my disciples] shall then come to know the truth [experientially] and this very truth a [8:36 the Son] shall [thus] set yo [in me] free [from the bondage of sin]. [Cf. 1:17; 16:13; cf. 17:17] [Cf. Rm 8:21]
8:33

They responded to him, What Abrahams seed b is, were; and to no one we have been slaves at any time. How is it that you say were going to be set free? Yeshua answered them, Yes, indeed! I say to yo, everyone living out sin is [none other than] a slave, [yes, a slave] to sin. Moreover, the [standing of someone as a] slave in the household does not remain forever; while the [standing of the] Son remains forever. So if the Son [cf. v. 32 the truth] sets yo free [from bondage of sin], then, truly yo shall be free. I know that yo are Abraham's seed: yet yo are bent on putting me to death, because my word fails find a place in yo. Im proclaiming what I myself have seen when I was alongside with {my} Father while on yor part, yo are doing what yo have learned from hearing{/mss} from yor{/mss} own father.

In answer they said to him, Dont you know whom we have as our forefather?! Abraham! Yeshua says to them, If yo are{/mss} Abraham's dear-children, {yo would} be doing what Abraham did{!} As it is, however, yo are bent on putting me to death a hman who has spoken yo the very truth that which I heard from Elohim. What yore doing is not as Abraham had done; no, yo yourselves are doing what the actual father to yo does. [v. 48] They {then} said to him, We? we are not some bastards born of fornication;
[+ not like you, nor like Samaritans!] [v. 48] One and only Father we have is the true Elohim.

8:40

Yeshua {then} said to them, If Elohim were yor Father [as yo say], yo would indeed love me: because it is from out of the very Elohim that I myself have come, [16:27] and here Im; moreover, if I have come, that is not my own doing, but it is because that One has sent me forth. Why do yo not know what I am speaking? Is it because yo are not able to hear my word?
Yo [in your conduct] are from out of your father, the very Devil,

8:44a

and yo want to carry out the desire of this father of yo. That one was a manslayer a right from the start and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
b

Whenever he utters all that which is false, b it is from his being what and who he is that he is speaking because a deceiver c [with falsehood] he really is! indeed, [he is] the father of [all] the falsehood [cf. 14:6] [out of mans mouth]. d

But because I, on the other hand, speak the truth, yet yo do not believe me [in what I say]. Who among yo is going to convict me of sin a? But if I speak the truth, why is it that yo on yor part do not believe me [in what I say]? Whoever belongs to Elohim listens to the sayings of Elohim; as for you, yo are not listening, because yo do not belong to Elohim. In reply, then, the Judeans said to him, You! you are [not better than] a Samaritan! Youve got even a demon in you! Calling you such, how right we are! Yeshua answered, Me? I got no demon in me. No, the real fact is this honoring my Father is what Im about; while, as for yourselves, yo seek to dishonor me; Not that I do seek glory for my own [+but it is for the One who has sent me]: there is the One who seeks it for me
[+and He will have me honored][v. 54]

8:52

8:53

The Judeans said to him, Now we are sure that Youve got a demon in you! See, when we have this fact: Abraham himself died so did the prophets but you say, <Whoever keeps my word shall surely not come to face death into the age.> You are not greater than our forefather Abraham who died just as the prophets have died, are you really?

Yeshua answered, If I on my own do bring glory to myself, my glory as such would amount to nothing at all. The One who glorifies me is really my Father the very One yo yourselves do claim to be your Elohim. Yet yo have not known Him. But I know Him. And were I to say <I do not know Him>, I should be a liar like yo. But I do know Him and am keeping His word. Yor forefather Abraham rejoiced greatly that he should see the day of my coming

And his disciples asked him, saying Rabbi Who has sinned this very man or his parents, seeing that he should be born blind? Yeshua answered, [+Yea, he was born blind, but] it is not that this man sinned or that his parents did;

So they said to him, How then were your eyes opened? In answer this man said, The man called Yeshua he made mud and applied it on my eyes and said to me, <Go to Siloam pool and wash it off >. So I went off. Having washed off myself,

They said to him, Where is that man who did this? he says, How could I know?!

They are bringing him to the Pharisees this man who had once been blind. ((By the way the day when Yeshua made the mud [22nd of the Month = 8:2] and opened his eyes was shabbat a.))[cf. 7:37, 8:2] Then again the Pharisees also put him questioning how he received his sight back. And he said to them, It was mud he spread on my eyes and I washed; look, [dont yo see?] Now I can see! Then, some of the Pharisees said, <That man who did this is not from God, [how can he be] seeing that he does not keep the shabbat?!> Others said, <How can a man who is an outcast sinner do such signs?> Thus there was division among them. They say again to the blind man, You, what do you say about him, knowing that he opened your eyes? And the blind man said, A prophet, he is? he must be! The Judean authorities, however, did not come to believe concerning him that he had once been blind and got his sight back, until finally they called up the parents of the very man who got his sight back There, they asked them, saying Is this yor son, who, yo say, was born blind?

Then in answer his parents said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. But how he can now see we do not know; or who opened his eyes we do not know. Why dont yo ask him? [Since] he is [now] of age [to be on his own], he should be able to speak for himself. ((his parents said this way, because they were afraid of their Judean authorities. The fact is, the Judean authorities had already agreed with one another, that anyone acknowledging him as Mashiah should be kept off the synagogue. This is why his parents said that <he is of age; why dont you ask him>.)) So, a second time they called up the man who was once blind before, and said to him, You, fess up! a We, we know that that hman who did this to you is an outcast sinner! In turn, this-one answered Whether he is an outcast sinner, I have no idea. One thing I know that I have been# blind [in all my life] and now I can see! Then they said to him, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes? He answered them, I told yo already yet yo did not listen. Why do yo want to hear it again? Surely, yo do not mean that yo yourselves also want to become his disciples, do yo?
At this they reviled him, and said

You are you a disciple of that fellow? But we are disciples of Moshe. We know that Elohim has spoken to Moshe.

But as for this one, we do not know where he is from.

9:30

9:31

9:32

9:33

In answer the man said to them, Why, this is an incredible thing! that yo do not know where he is from . . . and yet he opened my eyes. Dont we all know that Elohim would not hear{ Ps 66:18} outcast sinners [+ doing iniquity]: {Mic 3:4} but if anyone is God-revering and does His will Elohim listens to them? Since the beginning of the world-age it is unheard of that anyone should open the eyes of one born blind! If that very man [who opened my own] were not from God, nothing [+of such healing] he could have ever done at all. In answer, they said to him, Why, utterly in sins you really were born! and you, you are lecturing us how dare you! And they threw him out.

9:34

9:35

Yeshua heard that they had thrown him out, thus, on finding him up, he said, Do you come to believe in the Son-of-man{/mss}?
This man answered, Who is he, sir? Tell me so that I may come to believe in him?

9:36

9:37

And Yeshua said to him, You have seen Him, yes, in fact, the very one who is speaking now with you is that one. {And he said, Master I do believe.
And he prostrated before him. And Yeshua said,} For this judgment I myself have come into this world,[5:22,27. Cf. 3:17;8:15;12:47]

9:38

9:39

so that those who do not see may see, but those who see may become [rather] blind.
9:40

And those of the Pharisees who had been there with the [blind] one heard these things

and they said to him, You are not saying we are blind also! Are we?
9:41

Yeshua said to them, If yo were blind, yo would not be guilty of a sin to answer for; but now since yo claim that yo can see, yore to remain guilty of a sin.

Good shepherd; Gate for sheep

10:1-21
10:1

Good shepherd; Gate for sheep

Yes, indeed! I say to yo, anyone who enters the sheepfold not through the gate, instead, climbs up to get in by some-another-way that one is nothing but a thief and a rustler. But the One who enters it through the gate is the very shepherd who tends the sheep. It is to him the gatekeeper opens it. and as to the sheep they are attentive to the voice of the shepherd, and his very own sheep he calls by name and leads them out. And when he brings them all outside his very own sheep, at the head of them He walks and the sheep follow him: because they know and recognize the voice of him. And as for a stranger, they never would follow, but will flee from him because they dont know the voice, if it belongs to someone else. ((It was this pithy preganant saying of illustration Yeshua used in talking to them, yet, they on their part did not grasp the point of what he was saying to them.)) Then, Yeshua said to them again, Yes, indeed! I say to yo, I, yes I, am the gate for the sheep to come in through All who have come {before me} and cut in

10:9

I, yes I, am this gate;

If anyone ever enters through me they shall find it safe there and cared for; and can securely come in and go out and find pasture. As for the thief, he comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy: [Jer 23:1-4; cf. Jer 3:15] I have come in order that they may have Life yes, they may have it to overflow I, yes I, am the goodshepherd: [Ps 23:1]: As the good shepherd He does lays down His soul [on His own will] on behalf of the sheep. [cf. Ezk 34:11] But as for the hired one he is not really a shepherd and the sheep are not his own deserts the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming after them, and runs away; and the wolf attacks them to carry off and scatters {the whole sheep}. {The hired one runs away} because he is no more than a hired one and has no care for the sheep.

10:10

10:11

10:12

10:13

10:14

I, yes I, am this good shepherd:

And I know my own sheep and my own sheep know me{/mss} a. just-as the Father knows me even so I know the very Father, and I lay down my soul on behalf of the sheep. ((Besides, there are other sheep that are mine, sheep which do not [now] belong to this fold. These, too, I must also bring in to hear my voice; and there [with both in the fold] shall be{come} one flock, under one shepherd. [cf. Ezk 34:23; 37:24])) As for the Father, He does indeed love me and this because I on my part

I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it up again. This is the very Word b to follow His desire as my Father has given me. [14:31] Again there was a division among the Judeans because of these words of Yeshua. And many out of them said, He has a demon and is insane; why is it that yo listen to him? Others said, These are not the sayings of a demon-afflicted one. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?

Thereupon once again[8:59] the Judean authorities took up stones trying to stone him to bring to death. Yeshua answered them, Many wonderful works from {my} Father have I shown yo. Against which of those works are yo trying to stone me to put to death? The Judean authorities answered him, saying Not for whatever good works [you say you do] we are going to stone you! but it is for blasphemy, yeah, its because you being nothing more than a mere mortal man are-making yourself out to be what God is.[5:18] Yeshua answered them, Is it not written in the Torah yo have with yo, this way? <I myself have said, declaring that yo [judges] are [to rule] as god-like beings c.>{Ps 82:6 LXX} Here, those to whom these words came from Elohim are referred as god-like beings yes, this scripture passage cannot be pushed aside!

And he went off again across the Jordan River to the place [1:28; 11:6] where Yohanan had been previously immersing people, and there he remained. And many came to him and they said, <Yohanan didnt perform us any sign: but everything Yohanan spoke about this man was true!> And many came to believe in him there.

News of Lazarus death

11:1-16
11:1

Now a certain man was lying ill

he was Lazarus [12:1]#1 in the village of Bethany [near Yerusalem], where Mariam b and her sister Martha lived.

11:2

((And this Mariam was the one who would-come[Jn 12:1-8] and have fragrant-oil poured on the Master [on the feet] and wipe dry off his feet with her hair its her brother Lazarus who was now ill.))

10:38 understand {/mss} {/may believe} 11:1 Mariam [common Aramaic name.] /Mariam Gk; /Mary English; [Several named as Mariam in NT, but it does not appear as Yeshuas mother name in G-Jn.]

11:3

There, the sisters sent this word to Yeshua, saying <Master Here, the one dear to you is ill.> But when Yeshua heard it, he said, This illness is not something to end up with death; No, it is for the glory of God [to be revealed], so that the Son of Elohim a may be glorified through it. Now it should be seen that Yeshua was loving [+ with self-giving love] Martha and her sister, yes, Lazarus! Yet, after he heard that Lazarus was ill, he actually remained for another two days in the same place where he was.[10:40] Then, after this he said to the disciples, Lets go up into Judea again. The disciples said to him, Rabbi Just lately the Judean authorities was there seeking to stone you [putting to death], and do you want to go back there again? Yeshua answered, Are there not twelve hour-periods in day-time every day? If anyone walks in the daylight, they+ do not stumble, because they can see by the light in this world. But if anyone walks around in the night, they do stumble, because they have no light for them. These things were what he spoke. Afterwards he is saying to them, Our friend Lazarus has laid down to rest; but I am going to wake him from sleep. Thus the disciples said to him, If he is just laid down to rest, hell surely get well then. Isnt that right, Master? ((Actually Yeshua had spoken about Lazarus death: but they on their part thought he was talking about literally taking rest in sleep.))

Therefore then Yeshua said to them plainly, Lazarus has died. Indeed, I am glad it was for yor sake that I was not there [when he died] so that yo may get to believe it Come now, let us go to him.

11:15

[when yo see what awaits there].

11:16

Then Thomas, ((who is called Twin)), said to his fellow-disciples, Where are we? Weve got to go too, unafraid to die along with him when it comes.[11:8]

I am the Resurrection and the Life

11:17-27
11:17

When Yeshua arrived there, he found Lazarus already laid for four days in the memorial-tomb.[11:39]

I am the Resurrection and the Life 30 miles SW

11:18

((By the way, Bethany was near to Yerusalem, less than two miles off));
accordingly a good many of the Judeans a had come to Martha and Mariam to console them over their deceased brother.

11:19

11:20

So, it was Martha, when she heard that Yeshua was on the way coming, who got out to see him; while Mariam on her part remained at home and continued sitting shiva for mourning.
Presently Martha met him while he was still outside the village

11:21

and said to him, Master If you had been here, my brother would not have died. [cf. 11:32]
11:22

But, even now I know that

whatever from Elohim you ask, the very Elohim [who hears] will give you.
11:23

Yeshua said to her, Your brother shall rise b up. Martha says to him,

11:24

11:19 Judeans (also v. 31ff); /x: Jews most; / 11:23 rise up /x: rise again most; /

I know! Yes, hell rise up too in the very Resurrection on the Last Day [+ when everyone rises as told in Tanakh].
11:25

Yeshua said to her, I, yes, I am the very Resurrection { and the Life}. Whoever coming to believe in me, though they were to die, shall come to Life; and everyone who is living and coming to believe in me shall never die off a into nothingness forever. Do you believe this true? She said to him, Yes, Master I do indeed believe that you are the very Mashiah [we are waiting for] the Son of Elohim, the One coming into the world.
Yeshuas tears shed

11:26

11:27

11:28

And after having said this, she went back home and called Mariam her sister, saying in private, The Teacher is coming; He is around here! He is calling for you. When she heard it, this Mariam got up quickly jumped out and was off on her way to meet him. ((Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.)) Then, when those Judeans who were with her in the house consoling her saw Mariam get up and hurry out, they followed Mariam. ((They thought she was going to the memorial-tomb to cry there.)) When she-came upon where Yeshua on his way was Mariam saw him and fell down at his feet, saying to him, Master If you had been here, the one who was a brother to me my brother! he would not have died [cf. 11:21] As for Yeshua, he was deeply moved in spirit and became troubled at the sight of her weeping

11:31

11:32

11:33

11:26 never die off /x: never die most; /

and weeping of the Judeans who had come with her, and said, Where have yo laid him? They said to him, Master Come and see.

11:35 11:36

Yeshua burst into tears Thus the Judeans said, See, how he tenderly loved him! But some of them said, This man opened the eyes of the blind, didnt he? Could he not have kept this Lazarus from dying? Yeshua raises Lazarus

11:37

11:38

Therefore Yeshua, again deeply moved in himself, came to the memorial-tomb. ((In fact, it was a cave with a large stone-slab lying against the entrance of it.))

11:39

Yeshua says, Yo take and roll away the stone! Martha the sister of the deceased said to him, Master you see, it is fourth day [since he was laid] ![11:17] By now there would be a stench

11:40

Yeshua says to her, Didnt I tell you that, if you believed so, you would see the glory of Elohim? So they took away the stone. And Yeshua looked up, and said Father I thank you that you have heard me. And I do know that you hear me always: but I say this for the sake of the crowd standing around here so that they may believe that you did send me. And having spoken these, he shouted in a loud voice, Lazarus Here, come out!

11:41

11:42

11:43

11:44a

And there came out the one

b c d e

who had been dead ((his hands and feet having been bound with burial-linen-bind; and his face was bound about with a cloth at burial.)) Yeshua says to them, Loose him. . . Let him be on his way [unencumbered].

Reaction of Sanhedrin

Jn 11:45-57

11:46

11:47

11:48

Thus, many of the Judeans who had come to Mariam, seeing what Yeshua{/mss} did, come to believe in him. But some out of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Yeshua had done. Upon this, the chief kohanim and the Pharisees called up Sanhedrin Council, and said What are we to do as this hman performs many signs? If we let him go on like this, they all will come to believe in him. And the Romans will come and take away both the Place the Temple and our nation. But a certain one of them, Kayafa a, being kohen gadol in that year term, said to them, Yo do not know nothing, why dont yo reason out that it is better for us {/mss} that one hman should die on behalf of our people [18:14] so that the whole nation should not be destroyed. ((This, though, he did not say from himself on his own accord, but, being kohen gadol still in that year, he was prophesying that Yeshua was to die on behalf of the nation b; and not on behalf of the nation only, but also to gather the dear-children of Elohim together into one who are scattered abroad in Diaspora.)) So, from that day on,

11:49

11:50

11:51

11:52

11:53

11:49 Kayafa [appears first time here in G-Jn - also in 18:13, 24, 28]; /Caiphas; /Gk. Kaiafas; [In Passion narrative his name appears in G-Mt; Luke by the title. Lk mentions his name only in the birth of Yohanan the baptizer.] [Originally a life-time position; became to be put on arbitrarily by Roman power through bribery.] b 11:51 the nation (= v. 50, 52) [of Israel, the Judaic people; /x: Jewish people; x: Jewish nation]
a

they deliberated to bring him to death.

11:54

Therefore Yeshua went about no longer openly among the Judeans, but departed from there to the region near the wilderness, into a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

Path To Passion

Path to Passion Jn 11: 55 17:26 {//Mt 26:1-29; //Mk 14:1-25; //Lk 22:1-38} Now the festival of Pesach a ((of the Yahudim)) was near. And many went up to Yerusalem from all over the country [well] before the approaching Pesach [with seven days to spare] to make themselves kept ritually purified. [3rd Pesach, CE 30 6:4] 11:56 Then they were looking for Yeshua there and, standing around in the Temple courts, they asked each other <You dont think hell come here or the festival, do you?>
11:55 11:57

((Now both the head- Kohanim and the Pharisees had given orders,

that, anyone who knows where he was should disclose it, so that they could have him arrested.))

Upon this, one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Shimons son, (( the one who was about to betray him )) remarked, Why on earth wasnt this fragrant-oil sold?! It could fetch three hundred silver coins [= Mk 14:5] and that much money given to the poor! ((Now this he said, not because he cared about the poor. No, it was that he was dishonest like a thief and that being in charge of their [common] purse, he used to help himself to whats put in there. So, leave her alone, Yeshua replied, [it was meant] that for this day, the day of burial of me she has kept it{/mss}.

It was that Yeshua had mounted a young donkey a, which came upon his way ((as it has been written, <Do not fear, {Is 40:9}
O daughter of Zion: behold, your King is coming, mounted a donkey's colt.>)) {Zec 9:9}

12:15

12:16

((All these words, however, his disciples failed to understand at the time: Only afterYeshua became glorified, then did they call to mind that it was about him that these words had been written and that these was in fact what they had done for him.))

12:19

Moreover the crowd were giving testimony, who had been with him when{/mss} he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from out of dead ones. Indeed, this was the reason why the crowd came out to meet him, that they had heard of his showing forth that sign. And so the Pharisees said to each other, Look, this is getting us nowhere at all. Why, the {whole} world has gone after him!
Discourse on Life and Death

Discourse on Life and Death

Jn 12:20-26
12:20

Now there [in the court of the Gentiles] were some Greeks among those who had come up[to Yerusalem] to worship at the Festival: 12:21 here they approached Philip ((the one having a Greek name, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee)) and laid a request before him, saying Sir, we wish to see and hear the very Yeshua. 12:22 Philip went to tell Andrew about this.
12:22b

12:23

12:24

Then, in turn, Andrew and Philip together came to Yeshua telling about [the Greeks request]. There Yeshua responds to [+ the request from] them saying The hour has [truly] come for the Son-of-man to be glorified[cf. 2:4; 12:28-30] yes, indeed! I say to yo all, <Unless the very seed of grain first falls into the ground and should die,

12:14 a young donkey [brought by the two disciples according to all Synoptics]

12:25

12:26

it remains only one grain by itself; but if it die, it brings a rich harvest.> Whosoever fondly-loves ones own self is going to lose it, and whosoever less love ones own self in this world [for my sake] is going to keep it secured now transplanted right on into Life eternal. If anyone is to serve me, let them+ follow me, and where I am, those serving me will be there also. And if anyone serves me, the Father will honor them+.
Father, glorify your name

Jn 12:27-36
12:27

Now my soul is in turmoil. Oh, what I am going to say! I cannot say, <Father, rescue me from this hour>, can I? No! but, it is for the very purpose of this that I have come to this hour! Father, have Your own name glorified. [13:31] Then a voice came from the heaven, saying <And I have glorified my name and will glorify it again.>

12:28

12:29

Thus the crowd, that stood there and heard it, said, There has been thunder. Others said, An angel a has spoken to him. In answer Yeshua said, This voice has not come down for my sake but for yor sake. Now is the time that a judgment is to be on this world; now is the time that the ruler of this world shall be cast out. And as for myself, once Im lifted up [as on a stake] off the ground, [=3:14] I shall draw all [kinds of people] toward myself [+ for them to accept Gods love]. ((He said this to signify what sort of death he was to go through to die [+] b.))[ 18:32] The crowd responded to him,

We certainly have heard from the Torah that the very Mashiah will remain forever. How is it that you say that the Son-of-man must be lifted-up? Who is then this one the Son-of-man?
Jn 12:35-36
12:35

12:36

Upon this Yeshua said to them, Yet the light is with yo for a little while longer. Walk while yo have the light, lest darkness overtakes yo and one who is walking in the darkness does not know wheres going. While yo have the light, come to believe in the light, [cf. 1:7] so that yo may become true sons of light. These things Yeshua spoke and went off and from then on hid himself from them [+ ending his public ministry].
Unbelief of the people

Jn 12:37-43 (cf. Mt 13:10-17; Mk 4:10-12; 8:17b-18a; Lk 8:9-10)

12:37

12:38

((But though He had done so many signs before them, yet they did not come to believe in him: [cf. 3:19; 16:9] so that the word of Yeshayahu the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, {Isa 53:1 LXX} <O Adonai a
who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?>

12:39

The reason why they were not able to believe is that again elsewhere in Yeshayahu it reads, {Isa 6:9, 10 LXX}[Cf. Rm 9:15]
<[Elohim] has made their eyes become blinded and their heart become dulled; that way, they would see nothing with their eyes and understand nothing with their minds and would not turn yes, for me to come to have them healed.>

12:40

12:41

Yeshayahu said these things, because {/mss} he saw the glory of Adonai; yes, it was concerning him Yeshua that he spoke.)) ((Even among those in authority, many actually come to believe in him; Because of the Pharisees, however,

12:42

12:28 O Adonai (Gk. Kurie ) [in LXX only]; /O LORD; /> YHWH ISR; /

12:43

they would not openly acknowledge him, lest they would be kept away from synagogues: It is that, they loved the glory that is from men more than the glory that is from Elohim.))

12:44

By His word they are judged

12:45

12:46

12:47

12:48

12:49

12:50

And Yeshua shouted saying the one who believes in me, does not believe [so much] a in me, but [rather] in the One who has sent me. [cf. 14:1] Moreover, for the one, to see me is to see the One who has sent me. As a light [to enlighten] I [truly] have come into the world, so that whoever comes to believe in me may not remain in the darkness. Besides, if there is anyone who hears my sayings but does not believe, [they should know this:] it is not I that do bring judgment on them+:[3:17; 8:15. Cf. 5:22,27; 9:39] yo see, Ive come not to judge to condemn the world, but to bring salvation to the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my sayings, has that which will judge to condemn them+ it is indeed the very word which I have spoken that itself shall have them+ judged on the Last Day; The fact is that, nothing spoken by me has come of myself; on the contrary, the Father Himself who has sent me forth: it is He who has told me of His desire b as to what I was to say and what I was to speak. And I know what it is His word c He has told me to keep it is all about Life eternal-a [to be brought to them]#1 Thus, whatever I on my part say rightly as the Father has spoken to me, so I speak it.

Now before [coming of] the Festival of the Pesach Yeshua on his part knew that his hour has arrived for him to depart from this world and to go to his Father. And having loved his own [people], the ones in the world, now he was to show how much he loves them right to the end. So, a supper was going on,{/mss} [14:31b; 18:1] [13:27 Satan] ((on its part the Devil having then already put into the mind of Judas Iscariot, Shimon's son, that he was to betray Yeshua)) Yeshua having come to be acutely aware that the Father has given all the things into his hands and knowing that, as from God he had come, thus to the very God he is to return,

Then he comes to Shimon Kefa; Shimon Kefa, {himself} responds to him,

13:8

13:9@

Shimon Kefa replies to him, Master Do wash not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well! Yeshua says to him, One who has bathed does not need to wash {other than the feet}, no, he is clean all over. Yes, yo all are clean, but not all of yo. ((He knew, indeed, who was going to be the one to betray him. That is why he added the words, <Not everyone of yo are clean.>)) Then, when he had washed their feet and had put back on his robes, he reclined again and said to them, Yo all know what I have done to yo? Yo call me as the Teacher, and, the Master; then yore quite right thats what Im, yo see. Then, if I the Master and the Teacher of yo have washed yor feet, yo also ought to wash one another's feet.

Yeshua went out on his way with his disciples [+] to a place on the other side of the Kidron Valley,

into which he himself and his disciples entered.

18:2

Now Judas ((who was to betray him)) knew the place too

because Yeshua used to gather often there with his disciples.

18:3

On the part of this Judas, now having taken with him some of the Roman cohort as well as some of attendant-officers provided by the chief kohanim and of the Pharisees, he is making his appearance at that place along with them carrying lanterns and torches blazing yes, weapons on foot soldiers, clanking!

Now, Judas (( the one to betray him))

was also standing there with them. When he said to them, <I am he>, They all lurched stepping backward and fell to the ground. So he asked them again, Who is it yo want? And they said, Yeshua the Nazorean.

18:8

Yeshua answered, I told yo that I am he; therefore if Im the one yo are looking for, let these men go. ((This happened that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, <Of those whom Father You have given me, I have lost none, not one.> [6:39; 17:12]))

Upon this, Shimon Kefa pulled out a sword he was carrying and struck Kohen HaGadol's assistant who got only his right ear slashed off. ((There the name of the servant was Malchus.))

Then, Kohen HaGadol put Yeshua under interrogation and asked about his disciples as well as about his teaching. Yeshua answered him, I am one who have spoken plainly and freely to the world; I on my own always taught in a synagogue and in the Temple court, where all the Judeans come together; indeed, not a word have I spoken in secret! Why question me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. See, they are the ones who should know what I said.

Jn 20:19-29 {//Lk 24:36-43}(cf. Mk 16:14-18; Mt 28: 9-10) To His disciples 20:19 It was, then, evening on that same day, past the day one of the [lunar] week, a and, while the disciples were gathered behind doors closed shut as they were still afraid of the Judean authorities, there, Yeshua came and stood in their midst. Shalom to yo! he says to them. 20:20 And having spoken this of the words of greeting, he showed his hands[Lk 24:39] and his side to them. b The disciples overjoyed, having thus seen their very Master.
20:21

20:22

20:23

Then Yeshua said to them again, Shalom c to yo: As the Father has sent me forth, so I also am sending yo out. d [cf. 12:45] And after he said this, he breathed out on them and says to them, Receive holy spirit! e [cf. 7:39] If yo forgive anyones sins, [16:8ff] those sins have been [+ already] forgiven{mss} f [by God] for them; if yo hold back anyones sins, those sins have been held. [cf. Mt 18:18; 16:19b]
20:24

As it happened, Thomas, ((nick-named Twin)), one of the Twelve had not been with these disciples when Yeshua came [to them].

So when they told him, <We have seen the Master...!> this is what he said to them: Until I have seen in the very hands of him the mark of wounds made by the [iron] spikes and put my finger into the very wounds from the spikes nailed through, a and, moreover, have put my hand into his side, [+] b [4:48] Ill never believe what yo guys are telling me [+] c. Then, after eight days, d his disciples were again gathered inside a house; this time, Thomas was with them too.

Then he says to Thomas, Bring your finger here and check my hands; yes, reach out your hand and put it into my side . . . Come now then, dont be unbelieving e any longer, yes, be you believing! In response Thomas exclaimed to him [I believe, Master] O my Lord and my Elohim f [cf. Mt 1:24]! Yeshua says to him, {Thomas} Is it because you have seen me [cf. 1Pe 1:8b] that you now believe [I am who I am]! How blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe!

Now many other signs [are there] this very Yeshua truly did in the presence of the{/mss} a disciples, which are not put on that which has been written down here: but these signs are written here, so that yo may believe{/mss} b that [cf. 1Jn 5:13]

Yeshua is the very Mashiah, the Son of Elohim c, [1:7] and so that, as yo {hold on to} believe, yo may have Life eternal in his name.

By the Lake of Tiberias
21:1@

Yeshua with disciples in Galilee

After these things, Yeshua revealed-himself again

to the disciples {of him} on [the shore of] the Lake of Tiberias. And he was revealed in this way:

21:2

Gathered there together were Shimon Kefa

and Thomas (the one called Twin) and Nathanael (from Cana in Galilee) and the sons of Zebedee e and two other of his disciples.
21:3

Shimon Kefa says to them, Im going off to pick up my fishing work. They say to him, We too will come together to be with you Out they went and got into their small fishing ship, but during that night they caught nothing in their net.

Miraculous catch of fish

21:4a

But, morning already breaking, standing there on the shore was someone a; 21:4b (( of course, for now, the disciples, for their part, did not know that it was Yeshua.))
who then shouted out to them, Hello there, young fellas

21:5

Dont yo have anything good to take?

They answered him, Nope!

21:6

And he said to them, Cast the net over the starboard side of the ship and yoll find [a good catch] there! Then they cast it and look, they were not strong enough to haul it in because of so much of fish! Then that disciple#1 whom Yeshua loved [19:26] shouted to Kefa, The Master! its him! ((Until now the disciples did not know that it was Yeshua.)) [21:4b] When Shimon Kefa heard that it was the Master he [picked up] and wrapped his fishers work coat around him ((it was that he had taken it off [for work])) and threw himself into the Lake, while the other disciples came in the boat ((for | they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off)], towing the net full of fish. Then when they disembarked onto the land, they see a charcoal fire lying out there and an eatable-fish lying on it, and bread. Yeshua says to them to fetch some [more] eatable-fish from which they had just caught in the net. Then Shimon Kefa came back pulling the net along to the shore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty three. Although there were so many, the net didnt get torn.

Yeshua says to them, Come and have your breakfast. And none of the disciples ventured to ask him who [in the world] he was. ((It was [by this time] that they had come come to know that it was really the Master.)) Yeshua comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the eatable-fish as well.
21:14

((This is now the third time that Yeshua was revealed to the disciples, after he had been raised up from out of dead ones a))
Yeshua and Shimon Kefa

Yeshua and Shimon Kefa

21:15-24
21:15

Then when they had their breakfast, Yeshua says to Shimon Kefa, Shimon, son of Yonah{/mss} b, do you love me [+] c? beyond all these [+] d?
Kefa says to him,

Yes, Master You, you know that Im holding you dear e.

Yeshua says to him, [I know well.] Have my lambs f fed.
21:16

Again he says to him, a second time, Shimon, son of Yonah{/mss} g, do you love me h?
Kefa says to him,

Yes, Master
You, its you, know that Im holding you dear

He says to him, Yes! Have my sheep cared for.

21:14 from out of dead ones /from the dead most; [not from death CEV][ See *resurrection - BW][The phrase connotes general resurrection which is initiated by Yeshuas resurrection.] b 21:15 Yonah {/mss} /Jonah; {/Yohan (/John} [Cf. variant for v. 16] [BarYonah - Mt 16:17] c 21:15, 16 love me [+] [+ to lay down yourself to follow me as I have done because I have loved my Father] [self-giving love; not human love file v. 15ff. See *Love in BW.] [Yeshua was not asking about Kefas willingness or determination to love as such, but laying down oneself in response to Lords love. All here implicit became explicit as proved in the subsequent history of Kefa in laying down himself.] d 21:15 these [+] [+ things which you may have in mind]; (not other disciples) e 21:15 holding dear /x: love most; [Gk. file (v. 16, 17), different from love agapa v. 15, 16] f 21:15 lambs [Gk. arnion masc.] g 21:16 Yonah {/mss} /Jonah; {/Yohan (/John)} [QQ ? Variant also for v. 15?] h 21:16 love me (repeating v. 15)
a

21:17

And he says to him the third time Shimon, son of Yonah, do you [as you say] hold me dear?

Kefa was stung in his heart at his masters third question, [quoting the word of his own] <hold me dear>; so he said to him, Master You do know all things; you [sure] know that Im holding you dear. Yeshua says to him, Have my ewes a fed.
21:18

Yes, indeed! Im telling you this: When you were younger, you used to get girded yourself and go about anywhere you wanted to: but when you grow old, you will put your hands stretched b out and it will be other than you who will be girding up and carrying you off where you do not wish to go.
21:19

((This he said to signify by what kind of death Kefa was to glorify God.))

And after saying this he said to him, Be following me.

The beloved disciple

21:20-24
21:20

The beloved disciple

Kefa saw, on turning around, following them the disciple whom Yeshua loved* *((This was the one, during the [last] supper, having his head leaned back upon Yeshuas chest, was asking, <Master Who is the one going to betray you?>)) [13:25]

21:21

So, when Kefa caught sight of this disciple, he asked Yeshua, Master What about him this one? Yeshua says to him, If its my wish that he on his part should remain [to live on] what concern is that to you? You on your part are to follow me!
21:23

21:22

((Thus this saying spread among the fellow brethren that this disciple [whom Yeshua loved] would not die!

a b

21:17 ewes [= v. 15. Gk. probaton (neu)] [emended after Lamsa; See EE]; /lambs most; /. 21:18 hands stretched [i.e. a picture of crucifixion.]

Yeshua, however, did not say to Kefa that <he would not die>,

but simply <if its my wish that he should remain [to live on] until I come, {what concern is that to you?}>))

Conclusion - II
21:24

<<Conclusion II>> This is the very disciple the one who is testifying about these things[1:15] and has set them down in writing. ((Yes, we do indeed know that his testimony is true.))[19:35]

21:25

And there are also many other things which Yeshua did. If ever they were written down one by one, I suppose, [people of] the world itself could not take in all the scroll books that would be written.
