So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. He stayed there two days,

“I have spoken these things while staying with you.

Jesus answered, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about four o’clock in the afternoon.

After this Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He stayed out of Judea because the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him.

After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.

Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, “What do you want?” So they said to him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), “where are you staying?”

Thus Jesus no longer went around publicly among the Judeans, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.

Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an especially important one), the Jewish leaders asked Pilate to have the victims’ legs broken and the bodies taken down.

So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days.

When he had said this, he remained in Galilee.

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

After the two days he departed from there to Galilee.

After this, Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus himself also went up, not openly but in secret.

(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness.

Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!”

The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.
