The next file is: JOHN
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.
1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light,
that all [men] through him might believe.
1:8 He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear testimony of
that Light.
1:9 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world.
1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
1:11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to
become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his
name:
1:13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.
1:15 John testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was
he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred
before me; for he was before me.
1:16 And of his fullness have we all received, and grace for
grace.
1:17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ.
1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
1:19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent
priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not
the Christ.
1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? and he
saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
1:22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an
answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
1:23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
1:24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.
1:25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou
then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that
prophet?
1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there
standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
1:27 He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me,
whose shoes' latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where
John was baptizing.
1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
1:30 This is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man who is
preferred before me; for he was before me.
1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
1:32 And John bore testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with
water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit
descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth
with the Holy Spirit.
1:34 And I saw and bore testimony, that this is the Son of God.
1:35 Again the next day after, John stood, and two of his
disciples;
1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the
Lamb of God!
1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
Jesus.
1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to
them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say,
being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou?
1:39 He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he
dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth
hour.
1:40 One of the two who heard John [speak], and followed him,
was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him,
We have found the Messiah; which is, being interpreted, the
Christ.
1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he
said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
Cephas; which is, by interpretation, a stone.
1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
findeth Philip, and saith to him, follow me.
1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found
him described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus
of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
1:46 And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come
out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold
an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
1:48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou
wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
1:49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son
of God; thou art the King of Israel.
1:50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I
saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see
greater things than these.
1:51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you,
Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
and the mother of Jesus was there.
2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the
marriage.
2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith to him,
They have no wine.
2:4 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my
hour is not yet come.
2:5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you,
do [it].
2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the
manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
firkins apiece.
2:7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them to the brim.
2:8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear to the governor
of the feast. And they bore [it].
2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was
made wine, and knew not whence it was; (but the servants who
drew the water knew) the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom,
2:10 And saith to him, Every man at the beginning presenteth
good wine; and when men have well drank, then that which is
worse: [but] thou hast kept the good wine until now.
2:11 This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed
on him.
2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,
and his brethren, and his disciples; and they continued there
not many days.
2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem,
2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen, and sheep,
and doves, and the changers of money, sitting:
2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
2:16 And said to them that sold doves, Take these things hence:
make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal
of thy house hath eaten me up.
2:18 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, What sign showest
thou to us, seeing that thou doest these things?
2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and
in three days I will raise it up.
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22 When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this to them: and they believed the
scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
[day], many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles
which he performed.
2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself to them, because he knew
all [men].
2:25 And needed not that any should testify concerning man: for
he knew what was in man.
3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of
the Jews:
3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we
know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.
3:4 Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is
old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and
be born?
3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man
be born of water, and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.
3:6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit, is spirit.
3:7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
3:8 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound
of it, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of
Israel, and knowest not these things?
3:11 Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and
testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.
3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
3:13 And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, [even] the Son of man who is in heaven.
3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must the Son of man be lifted up:
3:15 That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten
Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world through him may be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him, is not condemned: but he that
believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21 But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the
land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
3:23 And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salim, because
there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
3:25 Then there arose a question between [some] of John's
disciples and the Jews, about purifying.
3:26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was
with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony,
behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.
3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except
it be given him from heaven.
3:28 Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said I am not the
Christ, but that I am sent before him.
3:29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend
of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth
greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled.
3:30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh
from heaven is above all.
3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no
man receiveth his testimony.
3:33 He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal
that God is true.
3:34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for
[to him] God giveth not the Spirit by measure.
3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into
his hand.
3:36 He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath
of God abideth on him.
4:1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
4:3 He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
4:5 Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar,
near to the parcel of ground, that Jacob gave to his son
Joseph.
4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied
with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about
the sixth hour.
4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
to her, Give me to drink.
4:8 (For his disciples had gone to the city to buy provisions.)
4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou,
being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for
the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of
God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou
wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living
water.
4:11 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that
living water?
4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the
well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his
cattle?
4:13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this
water, shall thirst again:
4:14 But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him,
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him, shall
be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
4:15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may
not thirst, neither come hither to draw.
4:16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said
to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
4:18 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast,
is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth.
4:19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet.
4:20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
4:21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh,
when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship, for
salvation is from the Jews.
4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father
seeketh such to worship him.
4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him, must worship
[him] in spirit and in truth.
4:25 The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh, who is
called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.
4:26 Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am [he].
4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he
talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or,
Why talkest thou with her?
4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went into the city,
and saith to the men,
4:29 Come, see a man who hath told me all things that ever I
did: is not this the Christ?
4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master,
eat.
4:32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not
of.
4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man
brought him [aught] to eat?
4:34 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that
sent me, and to finish his work.
4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh
harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit to
life eternal: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth,
may rejoice together.
4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
reapeth.
4:38 I sent you to reap that on which ye bestowed no labor:
other men labored, and ye have entered into their labors.
4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for
the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that
ever I did.
4:40 So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him
that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
4:41 And many more believed, because of his own word;
4:42 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy
saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this
is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into
Galilee.
4:44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet hath no honor in
his own country.
4:45 Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received
him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the
feast: for they also went to the feast.
4:46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the
water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was
sick at Capernaum.
4:47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee,
he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and
heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
4:48 Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
will not believe.
4:49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down ere my child
dieth.
4:50 Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. And the man
believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he
departed.
4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and
told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
4:52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend:
and they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left him.
4:53 So the father knew that [it was] at the same hour in which
Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he himself believed, and
his whole house.
4:54 This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus performed,
when he had come from Judea into Galilee.
5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews: and Jesus went up
to Jerusalem.
5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool,
which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five
porches.
5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent persons, of
blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and agitated the water: whoever then first after the stirring
of the water stepped in, was cured of whatever disease he had.
5:5 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and
eight years.
5:6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a
long time [in that case], he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the
water is agitated, to put me into the pool: but while I am
coming, another steppeth down before me.
5:8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
5:9 And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and
walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
5:10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, it is the
sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
5:11 He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me,
Take up thy bed, and walk.
5:12 Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee,
Take up thy bed, and walk?
5:13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him,
Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to
thee.
5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who
had healed him.
5:16 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay
him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work.
5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he
not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God.
5:19 Then answered Jesus, and said to them, Verily, verily, I
say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for whatever things he doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise.
5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things
that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than
these, that ye may marvel.
5:21 For as the Father raiseth the dead, and reviveth [them];
even so the Son reviveth whom he will.
5:22 For the Father judgeth no man; but hath committed all
judgment to the Son:
5:23 That all [men] should honor the Son, even as they honor the
Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father
who hath sent him.
5:24 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life.
5:25 Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now
is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that hear shall live.
5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to
the Son to have life in himself;
5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all
that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good to the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the
resurrection of damnation.
5:30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will
of the Father who hath sent me.
5:31 If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.
5:32 There is another that testifieth concerning me, and I know
that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.
5:33 Ye sent to John, and he testified to the truth.
5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I
say, that ye may be saved.
5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing
for a season to rejoice in his light.
5:36 But I have greater testimony than [that] of John: for the
works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works
that I do, bear testimony concerning me, that the Father hath
sent me.
5:37 And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath borne
testimony concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any
time, nor seen his shape.
5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath
sent, him ye believe not.
5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
life: and they are they which testify of me.
5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
5:41 I receive not honor from men.
5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
5:44 How can ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and
seek not the honor that [cometh] from God only?
5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
[one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for
he wrote concerning me.
5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?
6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which
is [the sea] of Tiberias.
6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his
miracles which he performed on them that were diseased.
6:3 And Jesus went upon a mountain, and there he sat with his
disciples.
6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
6:5 When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great
company come to him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy
bread that these may eat?
6:6 (And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he
would do.)
6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one of them make take a little:
6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith
to him,
6:9 There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two
small fishes: but what are they among so many?
6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. (Now there was much
grass in the place.) So the men sat down in number about five
thousand.
6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
were set down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they
would.
6:12 When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather
the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.
6:13 Therefore they gathered [them], and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained
over and above to them that had eaten.
6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus
performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come
into the world.
6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and
take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to a
mountain himself alone.
6:16 And when evening had [now] come, his disciples went down to
the sea,
6:17 And entered into a boat, and went over the sea towards
Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh
to the boat: and they were afraid.
6:20 But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid.
6:21 Then they willingly received him into the boat: and
immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.
6:22 The day following, when the people who stood on the other
side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save
that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus
went not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his
disciples had gone away alone;
6:23 (Yet there came other boats from Tiberias nigh to the place
where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)
6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea,
they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you,
Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate
of the loaves, and were satisfied.
6:27 Labor not for the food which perisheth, but for that food
which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will
give to you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
6:28 Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we may work
the works of God?
6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God,
that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
6:30 They said therefore to him, What sign showest thou then,
that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
6:31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He
gave them bread from heaven to eat.
6:32 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you,
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth
you the true bread from heaven.
6:33 For the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and
giveth life to the world.
6:34 Then said they to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
6:35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that
cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me,
shall never thirst.
6:36 But I said to you, That ye also have seen me, and believe
not.
6:37 All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him
that cometh to me, I will in no wise reject.
6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the
will of him that sent me.
6:39 And this is the Father's will who hath sent me, that of all
which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise
it up again at the last day.
6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one
who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the
bread which came down from heaven.
6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came
down from heaven?
6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among
yourselves.
6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me
draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught
from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned
from the Father, cometh to me.
6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he who is from
God, he hath seen the Father.
6:47 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.
6:48 I am that bread of life.
6:49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man
may eat of it, and not die.
6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any
man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world.
6:52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How
can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?
6:53 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you,
Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood,
ye have no life in you.
6:54 Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
6:55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in
me, and I in him.
6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever.
6:59 These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum.
6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
[this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at
it, he said to them, Doth this offend you?
6:62 [What] if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he
was before?
6:63 It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak to you, [they] are spirit, and
[they] are life.
6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew
from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he
was that would betray him.
6:65 And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come
to me, except it were given to him by my Father.
6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and
walked no more with him.
6:67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
thou hast the words of eternal life.
6:69 And we believe, and are sure that thou art that Christ, the
Son of the living God.
6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one
of you is a devil?
6:71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for it was
he that was to betray him, being one of the twelve.
7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not
walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
7:2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
7:3 His brethren therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go
into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou
doest.
7:4 For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and
he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these
things, show thyself to the world.
7:5 (For neither did his brethren believe in him.)
7:6 Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your
time is always ready.
7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify concerning it, that its works are evil.
7:8 Go ye up to this feast: I go not yet to this feast, for my
time is not yet full come.
7:9 When he had said these words to them, he abode [still] in
Galilee.
7:10 But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the
feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is
he?
7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning
him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he
deceiveth the people.
7:13 Yet, no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
7:14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the
temple, and taught.
7:15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man
letters, having never learned?
7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
his that sent me.
7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know concerning the
doctrine, whether it is from God, or [whether] I speak from
myself.
7:18 He that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but
he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and
no unrighteousness is in him.
7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you
keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth
about to kill thee?
7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and
ye all marvel.
7:22 Moses therefore gave to you circumcision, (not because it
is from Moses, but from the fathers) and ye on the sabbath
circumcise a man.
7:23 If a man on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the
law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because
I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath?
7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
judgment.
7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom
they seek to kill?
7:26 But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do
the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
7:27 But we know this man, whence he is: whereas when Christ
cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, Ye
both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of
myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
7:29 But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him,
because his hour was not yet come.
7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When
Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this
[man] hath done?
7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
concerning him: and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent
officers to take him.
7:33 Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you,
and [then] I go to him that sent me.
7:34 Ye will seek me, and will not find [me]: and where I am,
[thither] ye cannot come.
7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go,
that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among
the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
7:36 What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye will seek
me, and will not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot
come?
7:37 In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, let him come to me,
and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of
his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 (But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe
on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given],
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying,
said, In truth this is the Prophet.
7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will Christ
come out of Galilee?
7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the
seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David
was?
7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid
hands on him.
7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees;
and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
7:46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
7:47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
7:48 Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on
him?
7:49 But this people who know not the law are cursed.
7:50 Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night,
being one of them)
7:51 Doth our law judge [any] man before it heareth him, and
knoweth what he doeth?
7:52 They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee?
Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
7:53 And every man went to his own house.
8:1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and
all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken
in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,
8:4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,
in the very act.
8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be
stoned; but what sayest thou?
8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse
him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the
ground, [as though he heard them not].
8:7 So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and
said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first
cast a stone at her.
8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8:9 And they who heard [it], being convicted by [their own]
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,
[even] to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman
standing in the midst.
8:10 When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman,
he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no
man condemned thee?
8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
8:12 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life.
8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testifiest
concerning thyself; thy testimony is not true.
8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify
concerning myself, [yet] my testimony is true: for I know
whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I
come, and whither I go.
8:15 Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man.
8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not
alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two
men is true.
8:18 I am one that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father
that sent me, testifieth concerning me.
8:19 Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would
have known my Father also.
8:20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in
the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not
yet come.
8:21 Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will
seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot
come.
8:22 Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because he saith,
Whither I go, ye cannot come.
8:23 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above:
ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
8:24 I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am [he], ye will die in your sins.
8:25 Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to
them, Even [the same] that I said to you from the beginning.
8:26 I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that
sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which I
have heard from him.
8:27 They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the
Father.
8:28 Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of
man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing
of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these
things.
8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things that please him.
8:30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.
8:33 They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were
never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made
free?
8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever
committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, [but]
the Son abideth for ever.
8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed.
8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill
me, because my word hath no place in you.
8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do
that which ye have seen with your father.
8:39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the
works of Abraham.
8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We
are not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
8:42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love
me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of
myself, but he sent me.
8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye
cannot hear my word.
8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of it.
8:45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
8:46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the
truth, why do ye not believe me?
8:47 He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear
[them] not, because ye are not of God.
8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father,
and ye dishonor me.
8:50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.
8:51 Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my
saying, he shall never see death.
8:52 Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a
demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a
man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death.
8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and
the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
8:54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it
is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your
God:
8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know
him, and keep his saying.
8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw
[it], and was glad.
8:57 Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years
old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
8:58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before
Abraham was, I am.
8:59 Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of
them, and so passed by.
9:1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man who was blind from
[his] birth.
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned,
this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his
parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in
him.
9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:
the night cometh when no man can work.
9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made
clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man
with the clay,
9:7 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is
by interpretation, Sent.) He went therefore, and washed, and
came seeing.
9:8 The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him
that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9:9 Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but]
he said, I am [he].
9:10 Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes opened?
9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus, made
clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of
Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
9:12 Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind.
9:14 And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened
his eyes.
9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received
his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I
washed, and do see.
9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from
God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a
man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division
among them.
9:17 They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,
that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had
been blind, and received his sight, until they called the
parents of him that had received his sight.
9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say
was born blind? how then doth he now see?
9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is
our son, and that he was born blind:
9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath
opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he will
speak for himself.
9:22 These [words] his parents spoke, because they feared the
Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man
confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the
synagogue.
9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
9:24 Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to
him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
9:25 He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not:
one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
9:26 Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how
opened he thy eyes?
9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not
hear: Why would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his
disciples?
9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but
we are the disciples of Moses.
9:29 We know that God spoke to Moses: [as for] this [man], we
know not whence he is.
9:30 The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a
marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet]
he hath opened my eyes.
9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is
a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
9:32 Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man
opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
9:33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
9:34 They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? and they cast him out.
9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had
found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe
on him?
9:37 And Jesus said to him, thou hast both seen him, and it is
he that talketh with thee.
9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world,
that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be
made blind.
9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these
words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
9:41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin:
but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
10:1 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and a robber.
10:2 But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the
sheep.
10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice:
and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before
them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from
him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6 This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not
what things they were which he spoke to them.
10:7 Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to
you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but
the sheep did not hear them.
10:9 I am the door: by me if any man shall enter he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10:10 The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may
have [it] more abundantly.
10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep.
10:12 But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own
the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the
sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth
the sheep.
10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth
not for the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known
by mine.
10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I
lay down my life for the sheep.
10:16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them
also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I may take it again.
10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I
have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.
This commandment have I received from my Father.
10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for
these sayings.
10:20 And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is insane; why
hear ye him?
10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a
demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and
it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
10:24 Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long
dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us
plainly.
10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the
works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning
me.
10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I
said to you.
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me:
10:28 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.
10:29 My Father, who gave [them to] me, is greater than all; and
none is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
10:30 I and [my] Father are one.
10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from
my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone
thee not; but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a
man, makest thyself God.
10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I
said, Ye are gods?
10:35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken;
10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent
into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son
of God?
10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works:
that ye may know and believe that the Father [is] in me, and I
in him.
10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him; but he escaped
from their hand,
10:40 And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
10:41 And many resorted to him, and said, John performed no
miracle; but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
10:42 And many believed on him there.
11:1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany,
the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
11:2 (It was [that] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment,
and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was
sick.)
11:3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he
whom thou lovest is sick.
11:4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not to
death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be
glorified by it.
11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
11:6 When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two
days still in the same place where he was.
11:7 Then after that he saith to [his] disciples, Let us ho into
Judea again.
11:8 [His] disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought
to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If
any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth
the light of this world.
11:10 But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because
there is no light in him.
11:11 These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of
sleep.
11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do
well.
11:13 Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had
spoken of taking rest in sleep.
11:14 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.
11:16 Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his
fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the
grave four days already.
11:18 (Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
distant.)
11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort
them concerning their brother.
11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming,
went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.
11:21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died.
11:22 But I know that even now, whatever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give [it] thee.
11:23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
11:24 Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
11:25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
11:26 And whoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die.
Believest thou this?
11:27 She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
11:28 And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her
sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for
thee.
11:29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came
to him.
11:30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that
place where Martha met him.
11:31 The Jews then who were with her in the house, and
comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and
went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep
there.
11:32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she
fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died.
11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled;
11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord,
come and see.
11:35 Jesus wept.
11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the
eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not
have died?
11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the
grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of
him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is
offensive: for he hath been [dead] four days.
11:40 Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
11:41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the
dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said,
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me:
11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the
people who stand by, I said [it], that they may believe that
thou hast sent me.
11:43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.
11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with
grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.
11:45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the
things which Jesus did, believed on him.
11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what
things Jesus had done.
11:47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a
council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many
miracles.
11:48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him:
and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and
nation.
11:49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest
that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,
11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man
should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish
not.
11:51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest
that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should
assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put
him to death.
11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but
went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city
called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
11:55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out
of the country to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.
11:56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as
they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come
to the feast?
11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show
[it], that they might take him.
12:1 Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
12:3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very
costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with
her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the
ointment.
12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's
[son], who was to betray him,
12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
given to the poor?
12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because
he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.
12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my
burial hath she kept this.
12:8 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not
always.
12:9 Many people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there:
and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might
see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put
Lazarus also to death;
12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away,
and believed on Jesus.
12:12 On the next day, many people that had come to the feast,
when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12:13 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him,
and cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as
it is written,
12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh,
sitting on an ass's colt.
12:16 These things his disciples understood not at the first:
but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these
things were written concerning him, and [that] they had done
these things to him.
12:17 The people therefore that were with him when he called
Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore
testimony.
12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they
heard that he had done this miracle.
12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye
how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them, that came to
worship at the feast.
12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again, Andrew and
Philip tell Jesus.
12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that
the Son of man should be glorified.
12:24 Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall
into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit.
12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth
his life in this world, shall keep it to life eternal.
12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am,
there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will
[my] Father honor.
12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father,
save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.
12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from
heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify
[it] again.
12:29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard [it], said
that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to him.
12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of
me, but for your sakes.
12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
this world be cast out.
12:32 And I, if I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all [men] to me.
12:33 (This he said, signifying what death he should die.)
12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that
Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man
must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
12:35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light
with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon
you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he
goeth.
12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be
the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed,
and concealed himself from them.
12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet
they believed not on him:
12:38 That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom
hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said
again,
12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that
they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with
[their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
12:41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke
of him.
12:42 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on
him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him],
lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of
God.
12:44 Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth
not on me, but on him that sent me:
12:45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me:
12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whoever believeth
on me should not abide in darkness.
12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day.
12:49 For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent
me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I
should speak.
12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I
speak.
13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that
his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to
the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he
loved them to the end.
13:2 And supper being ended (the devil having now put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him;)
13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God;
13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and
took a towel, and girded himself.
13:5 After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash
the disciples feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel with
which he was girded.
13:6 Then he cometh to Simon Peter: and Peter saith to him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not
now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
13:9 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
[my] hands and [my] head.
13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to
wash [his] feet, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not
all.
13:11 For he knew who would betray him; therefore said he, Ye
are not all clean.
13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said to them, Know ye what
I have done to you?
13:13 Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I
am.
13:14 If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I
have done to you.
13:16 Verily, verily, I say to you, The servant is not greater
than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
sent him.
13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
13:18 I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen: but
that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with
me, hath lifted up his heel against me.
13:19 Now I tell you before it cometh, that when it hath come to
pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
13:20 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that receiveth whomsoever
I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him
that sent me.
13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of
you will betray me.
13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom
he spoke.
13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom, one of his
disciples, whom Jesus loved.
13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, to ask who it
should be of whom he spoke.
13:25 He then lying on Jesus' breast, saith to him, Lord, who is
it?
13:26 Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop, when
I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave
[it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus
to him, What thou doest, do quickly.
13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this
to him.
13:29 For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag,
that Jesus had said to him, Buy [those things] that we have
need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to
the poor.
13:30 He then having received the sop, went immediately out: and
it was night.
13:31 Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son
of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
13:32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in
himself, and will immediately glorify him.
13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will
seek me: and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
come; so now I say to you.
13:34 A new commandment I give to you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if
ye have love one to another.
13:36 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but
thou shalt follow me afterward.
13:37 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
will lay down my life for thy sake.
13:38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my
sake? Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock will not crow,
till thou hast denied me thrice.
14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me.
14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not
[so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you to myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be
also.
14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
14:5 Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
14:6 Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the
life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.
14:7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and
from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
14:8 Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.
14:9 Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and
yet hast thou not known me Philip? he that hath seen me, hath
seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Show us the
Father?
14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father
in me? the words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in
me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
14:12 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than
these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
14:13 And whatever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you, and will be in you.
14:18 I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye
see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
14:20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye
in me, and I in you.
14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is
that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my
Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
14:22 Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, Lord, how is it that
thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loveth me, he
will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will
come to him, and make our abode with him.
14:24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings: and the
word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent
me.
14:25 These things have I spoken to you, being [yet] present
with you.
14:26 But the Comforter, [who is] the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to
you.
14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the
world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
14:28 Ye have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come
[again] to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I
said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
14:29 And now I have told you before it cometh to pass, that
when it hath come to pass, ye may believe.
14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as
the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.
15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away;
and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleaneth it, that it
my bring forth more fruit.
15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to
you.
15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit
of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye, except
ye abide in me.
15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing.
15:6 If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered: and men gather them, and cast [them] into the
fire, and they are burned.
15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye may ask
what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
15:8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
shall ye be my disciples.
15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue
ye in my love.
15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his
love.
15:11 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain
in you, and [that] your joy may be full.
15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I
have loved you.
15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made
known to you.
15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your
fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father
in my name, he may give it you.
15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
15:18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before
[it hated] you.
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you.
15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not
greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep
yours also.
15:21 But all these things will they do to you for my name's
sake, because they know not him that sent me.
15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had
sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
15:23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
15:24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man
hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen,
and hated both me and my Father.
15:25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be
fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a
cause.
15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you
from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth
from the Father, he will testify concerning me.
15:27 And ye also shall bear testimony, because ye have been
with me from the beginning.
16:1 These things have I spoken to you, that ye should not be
offended.
16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time
cometh, that whoever killeth you, will think that he doeth God
service.
16:3 And these things will they do to you, because they have not
known the Father, nor me.
16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall
come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things
I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5 But now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh
me, Whither goest thou?
16:6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow hath
filled your heart.
16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you
that I depart; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.
16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and
of righteousness, and of judgment:
16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me
no more;
16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
16:12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear
them now.
16:13 But, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide
you into all the truth: for he will not speak from himself; but
whatever he shall hear, [that] will he speak: and he will show
you things to come.
16:14 He will glorify me: for he will receive of mine, and will
show [it] to you.
16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I
said, that he will take of mine, and show [it] to you.
16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a
little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
16:17 Then said [some] of his disciples among themselves, What
is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye shall not
see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and,
Because I go to the Father?
16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
while? we cannot tell what he saith.
16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and
said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that which I
said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a
little while, and ye shall see me?
16:20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and
lament, but the world will rejoice: and ye will be sorrowful,
but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her
hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she
remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born
into the world.
16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you
again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh
from you.
16:23 And in that day ye will ask me nothing: Verily, verily, I
say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he
will give [it] you.
16:24 Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye
shall receive, that your joy may be full.
16:25 These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the
time cometh when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but
I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.
16:26 At that day ye will ask in my name: and I say not to you,
that I will pray the Father for you:
16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved
me, and have believed that I came from God.
16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
16:29 His disciples said to him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly,
and speakest no proverb.
16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest
not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou
camest from God.
16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, and is even now come, that ye
shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me
alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have
peace. In the world ye will have tribulation, but be of good
cheer: I have overcome the world.
17:1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven,
and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy
Son also may glorify thee:
17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should
give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
17:3 And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the
work which thou gavest me to do.
17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy ownself, with
the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
17:6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to
me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to
me; and they have kept thy word.
17:7 Now they have known that all things whatever thou hast
given me are from thee.
17:8 For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me;
and they have received [them], and have known surely that I
came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them
whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.
17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am
glorified in them.
17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own
name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as
we [are].
17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy
name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of
them is lost but the son of perdition; that the scripture might
be fulfilled.
17:13 And now I come to thee, and these things I speak in the
world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
17:14 I have given to them thy word; and the world hath hated
them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of
the world.
17:15 I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world,
but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil.
17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also
sent them into the world.
17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may
be sanctified through the truth.
17:20 Neither pray I for these alone; but for them also who
shall believe on me through their word.
17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me,
and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world
may believe that thou hast sent me.
17:22 And the glory which thou gavest to me, I have given to
them; that they may be one, even as we are one.
17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect
in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and
hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
17:24 Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given to me
be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory which thou
hast given to me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of
the world.
17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I
have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
17:26 And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare
[it]: that the love with which thou hast loved me, may be in
them, and I in them.
18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
disciples over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which
he entered, and his disciples.
18:2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus
often resorted thither with his disciples.
18:3 Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers
from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with
lanterns, and torches, and weapons.
18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon
him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek ye?
18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them,
I am [he]. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
18:6 As soon then as he had said to them, I am [he], they went
backward, and fell to the ground.
18:7 Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: If
therefore ye seek me, let these go away:
18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, Of them
whom thou gavest to me, I have lost none.
18:10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the
servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. The
servant's name was Malchus.
18:11 Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the
sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not
drink it?
18:12 Then the band, and the captain, and officers of the Jews
took Jesus, and bound him,
18:13 And led him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law
to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year.)
18:14 Now Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it
was expedient that one man should die for the people.
18:15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another
disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went
in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that
other disciple who was known to the high priest, and spoke to
her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Art not
thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a
fire of coals; (for it was cold) and they warmed themselves:
and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus concerning his disciples,
and concerning his doctrine.
18:20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever
taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews
always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
18:21 Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have
said to them: behold, they know what I have said.
18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood
by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest
thou the high priest so?
18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear testimony
of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
18:24 (Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high
priest.)
18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said
therefore to him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He
denied [it], and said, I am not.
18:26 One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman
of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in
the garden with him?
18:27 Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crowed.
18:28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment:
and it was early; and they themselves went not into the
judgment-hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might
eat the passover.
18:29 Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation
bring ye against this man?
18:30 They answered and said to him, If he were not a
malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
18:31 Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him
according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is
not lawful for us to put any man to death:
18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he
spoke, signifying what death he should die.
18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and
called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself,
or did others tell it thee concerning me?
18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief
priests, have delivered thee to me: What hast thou done?
18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my
kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that
I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom
not from hence.
18:37 Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a King then? Jesus
answered, Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born,
and for this cause came I into the world, that I should testify
to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
18:38 Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said
this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find
in him no fault.
18:39 But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at
the passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the King
of the Jews?
18:40 Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but
Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].
19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on
his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
their hands.
19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them,
Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find
no fault in him.
19:5 Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
purple robe. And [Pilate] saith to them, Behold the man!
19:6 When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they
cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith
to them, Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault in
him.
19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
afraid;
19:9 And went again into the judgment-hall, and saith to Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10 Then saith Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest
thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to
release thee?
19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power against me;
except it were given thee from above: therefore he that
delivered me to thee hath the greater sin.
19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the
Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not
Cesar's friend. Whoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against
Cesar.
19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place that is
called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!
19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him],
crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.
19:16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.
19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called
[the place] of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew,
Golgotha:
19:18 Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on each
side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And
the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
19:20 Many of the Jews then read this title: for the place where
Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in
Hebrew, Greek, [and] Latin.
19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write
not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the
Jews.
19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and
also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the
top throughout.
19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it,
but cast lots for it whose it shall be: that the scripture
might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among
them, and for my vesture they cast lots. These things therefore
the soldiers did.
19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his
mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary
Magdalene.
19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!
19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
that hour that disciple took her to his own [home].
19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
thirst.
19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they
filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put
[it] to his mouth.
19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It
is finished: and he bowed his head, and expired.
19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that
the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath,
(for that sabbath was a great day,) besought Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
19:32 Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first,
and of the other who was crucified with him.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they broke not his legs:
19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came out blood and water.
19:35 And he that saw [it], testified, and his testimony is
true: and he knoweth that he speaketh truth, that ye may
believe.
19:36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be
fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
19:37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him
whom they pierced.
19:38 And after this, Joseph of Arimathea (being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that
he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him]
leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.
19:39 And there came also Nicodemus (who at the first came to
Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about
a hundred pound [weight].
19:40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a
garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which was never
man yet laid.
19:42 There they laid Jesus therefore, because of the Jews'
preparation-[day], for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.
20:1 The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when it was yet dark, to the sepulcher, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulcher.
20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have
taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where
they have laid him.
20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and
came to the sepulcher.
20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple outran
Peter, and came first to the sepulcher.
20:5 And he stooping down, saw the linen cloths lying; yet he
went not in.
20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
sepulcher, and seeth the linen cloths lying;
20:7 And the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the
linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
20:8 Then went in also that other disciple who came first to the
sepulcher, and he saw, and believed.
20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
again from the dead.
20:10 Then the disciples went away again to their own home.
20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as
she wept she stooped down [to look] into the sepulcher,
20:12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the
head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had
lain.
20:13 And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? she saith to
them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not
where they have laid him.
20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself about, and
saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
20:15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest
thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir,
if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him,
and I will take him away.
20:16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith to
him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
20:17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not: for I have not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them,
I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your
God.
20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had
seen the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things to her.
20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the
week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the
midst, and saith to them, Peace [be] to you.
20:20 And when he had so said, he showed to them [his] hands and
his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] to you: as [my]
Father hath sent me, even so I send you.
20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and
saith to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit.
20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them;
[and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not
with them when Jesus came.
20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen
the Lord. But he said to them, Except I shall see in his hands
the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and
Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] to you.
20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and
behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it]
into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
20:28 And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
20:29 Jesus saith to him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me,
thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and
[yet] have believed.
20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of
his disciples, which are not written in this book.
20:31 But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life
through his name.
21:1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias: and in this manner did he
show [himself].
21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee,
and two others of his disciples.
21:3 Simon Peter saith to them, I go a fishing. They say to him,
We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a boat
immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
21:4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the
shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
21:5 Then Jesus saith to them, Children, have ye any victuals?
They answered him, No.
21:6 And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the
boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were
not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It
is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
he girt [on] his fisher's coat, (for he was naked) and cast
himself into the sea.
21:8 And the other disciples came in a little boat (for they
were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits)
dragging the net with fishes.
21:9 As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of
coals there, and fish laid upon them, and bread.
21:10 Jesus saith to them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
caught.
21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of
great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and
notwithstanding there were so many, yet the net was not broken.
21:12 Jesus saith to them, Come [and] dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and
fish likewise.
21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to
his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon
[son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to
him, Yes, Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him,
Feed my lambs.
21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon [son] of
Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord: thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep.
21:17 He saith to him the third time, Simon [son] of Jonas,
lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he said to him the
third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou
knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith
to him, Feed my sheep.
21:18 Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou
didst gird thyself and walk whither thou wouldest: but when
thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
another shall gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldst
not.
21:19 This he spoke, signifying by what death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith to him, Follow me.
21:20 Then Peter turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus
loved, following; (who also leaned on his breast at supper, and
said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?)
21:21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what [shall]
this man [do]?
21:22 Jesus saith to him, If I will that he shall tarry till I
come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.
21:23 Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that that
disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not to him, He shall
not die; but, if I will that he shall tarry till I come, what
[is that] to thee?
21:24 This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and
wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did,
which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even
the world itself could not contain the books that would be
written. Amen.
