t wrongs that I
have come to this world, that the blind may see and that those who see
may become blind." Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him
said, "And are we blind?" Jesus replied, "If you were blind you would
not be guilty; but you say, 'We can see,' and so your sin remains."

JESUS TELLS WHAT HE CAME TO DO

Jesus said to the people, "I am the light of the world; he who follows
me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light which gives
life."

As Jesus spoke these words many believed in him. Then he said to the
Jews who had believed in him, "If you faithfully do what I say, you are
truly my disciples, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set
you free." They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have

JESUS BRINGS LAZARUS BACK TO LIFE

Now a certain man, Lazarus of Bethany, was sick. He was the brother of
Martha and of the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped
his feet with her hair. Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
So the sisters sent word to him, "Master, he whom you love is sick." But
when Jesus heard it he said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but
it is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it."

So when he heard that Lazarus was
