THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
St. John
( Chapters 1-21 )
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
witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
1:8: He was not
that Light, but was sent to bear witness 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 unto his own, and his own received him not.
1:12: But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name:
1:13: Which 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 bare
witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh
after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
1:16: And of his
fulness have all we 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, which is in the bosom of the
Father, he hath declared him.
1:19: And this is the record 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 Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou
that prophet? And he answered, No.
1:22: Then said they unto 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 Esaias.
1:24: And they
which were sent were of the Pharisees.
1:25: And they asked him, and said
unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias,
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 shoe's 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 unto him, and
saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
1:30:
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which 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
bare record, 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 unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending,
and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy
Ghost.
1:34: And I saw, and bare record 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 unto them, What seek ye? They said
unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest
thou?
1:39: He saith unto 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 which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother.
1:41: He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto
him, We have found the Messias, 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 unto him, Follow me.
1:44: Now Philip
was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
1:45: Philip findeth
Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and
the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
1:46: And
Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip
saith unto 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 unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto
him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw
thee.
1:49: Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of
God; thou art the King of Israel.
1:50: Jesus answered and said unto him,
Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou
shalt see greater things than these.
1:51: And he saith unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto 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 unto him,
They have no wine.
2:4: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with
thee? mine hour is not yet come.
2:5: His mother saith unto the servants,
Whatsoever he saith unto 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 unto them, Fill the waterpots
with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
2:8: And he saith unto them,
Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare 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 which drew the water knew;) the governor of
the feast called the bridegroom,
2:10: And saith unto him, Every man at the
beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that
which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
2:11: This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth 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 unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence;
make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
2:17: And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me
up.
2:18: Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou
unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
2:19: Jesus answered and said
unto 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 spake of the temple of his
body.
2:22: When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and
the word which Jesus had said.
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 did.
2:24: But Jesus did not commit himself unto them,
because he knew all men,
2:25: And needed not that any should testify of 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 unto 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 unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3:4: Nicodemus saith unto 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 unto
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 unto thee, Ye
must be born again.
3:8: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest
the sound thereof, 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
unto him, How can these things be?
3:10: Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
3:11: Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have
seen; and ye receive not our witness.
3:12: If I have told you earthly
things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly
things?
3:13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, even the Son of man which 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 whosoever 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 whosoever 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 might 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 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 Judaea; and there he
tarried with them, and baptized.
3:23: And John also was baptizing in Aenon
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 unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that
was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, 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 witness, 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, which 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 God giveth not the Spirit by measure
unto him.
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 how 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 Judaea, and departed again
into Galilee.
4:4: And he must needs go through Samaria.
4:5: Then cometh
he 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 unto her, Give me to drink.
4:8: (For his disciples were gone
away unto the city to buy meat.)
4:9: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto
him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of
Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
4:10: Jesus
answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that
saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would
have given thee living water.
4:11: The woman saith unto 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, which gave us the
well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
4:13:
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst
again:
4:14: But whosoever 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 unto him,
Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to
draw.
4:16: Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come
hither.
4:17: The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto
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 saidst thou
truly.
4:19: The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet.
4:20: Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
4:21: Jesus saith unto
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 of the Jews.
4:23: But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers 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 unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is
called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
4:26: Jesus saith
unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
4:27: And upon this came his
disciples, and marvelled 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 her way into the city, and saith to the men,
4:29: Come,
see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the
Christ?
4:30: Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
4:31: In
the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
4:32: But he
said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
4:33: Therefore said
the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
4:34:
Jesus saith unto them, My meat 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 unto 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 unto 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 whereon ye
bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
labours.
4:39: And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for
the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I
did.
4:40: So when the Samaritans were come unto 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 unto 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 Saviour 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 honour in his own country.
4:45: Then when
he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the
things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto 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 was come out of Judaea into
Galilee, he went unto 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 unto him,
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
4:49: The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
4:50: Jesus saith unto him,
Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken
unto him, and he went his way.
4:51: And as he was now going down, his
servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
4:52: Then enquired
he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at
the seventh hour the fever left him.
4:53: So the father knew that it was at
the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself
believed, and his whole house.
4:54: This is again the second miracle that
Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea 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 folk, 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
troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water
stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5:5: And a certain
man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
5:6: When Jesus
saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith
unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
5:7: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I
have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am
coming, another steppeth down before me.
5:8: Jesus saith unto him, Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk.
5:9: And immediately the man was made whole, and
took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
5:10: The
Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not
lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
5:11: He answered them, He that made me
whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
5:12: Then asked
they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and
walk?
5:13: And he that was healed wist 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 unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin
no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
5:15: The man departed, and told
the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
5:16: And therefore did
the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these
things on the sabbath day.
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
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise.
5:20: For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him
all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.
5:21: For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and
quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
5:22: For the
Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
5:23:
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that
honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
5:24:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him
that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but
is passed from death unto life.
5:25: Verily, verily, I say unto 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 the which all that
are in the graves shall hear his voice,
5:29: And shall come forth; they that
have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
5:30: I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
5:31: If I bear witness of
myself, my witness is not true.
5:32: There is another that beareth witness
of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
5:33:
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
5:34: But I receive
not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might 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 witness than that of John: for
the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do,
bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
5:37: And the Father
himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of 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 might have
life.
5:41: I receive not honour 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, which receive honour one of another, and
seek not the honour 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 of 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 did on them that were diseased.
6:3: And Jesus went
up into 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 unto him, he saith unto 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
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take
a little.
6:8: One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith
unto him,
6:9: There is a lad here, which 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 filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, that nothing be lost.
6:13: Therefore they gathered them together,
and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which
remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
6:14: Then those men, when
they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth 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
into a mountain himself alone.
6:16: And when even was now come, his
disciples went down unto the sea,
6:17: And entered into a ship, and went
over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was 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 unto the ship: and they were
afraid.
6:20: But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
6:21: Then
they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the
land whither they went.
6:22: The day following, when the people which stood
on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that
one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his
disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
6:23:
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did
eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
6:24: When the people
therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took
shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
6:25: And when they had
found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest
thou hither?
6:26: Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the
loaves, and were filled.
6:27: Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but
for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall
give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
6:28: Then said they unto
him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
6:29: Jesus
answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him
whom he hath sent.
6:30: They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou
then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
6:31: Our
fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from
heaven to eat.
6:32: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
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 which cometh down
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
6:34: Then said they unto him,
Lord, evermore give us this bread.
6:35: And Jesus said unto 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 unto 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 cast out.
6:38: For I came down from
heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
6:39: And
this is the Father's will which 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 which 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 unto
them, Murmur not among yourselves.
6:44: No man can come to me, except the
Father which 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 of
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh
unto me.
6:46: Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of
God, he hath seen the Father.
6:47: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me hath everlasting life.
6:48: I am that bread of
life.
6:49: Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead.
6:50: This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may
eat thereof, and not die.
6:51: I am the living bread which came down from
heaven: if any man 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 strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his
flesh to eat?
6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no
life in you.
6:54: Whoso 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 meat
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 did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for
ever.
6:59: These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum.
6:60: Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
6:61: When Jesus knew in
himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend
you?
6:62: What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
before?
6:63: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto 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 should betray him.
6:65: And he
said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were
given unto him of my Father.
6:66: From that time many of his disciples went
back, and walked no more with him.
6:67: Then said Jesus unto 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 spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray
him, being one of the twelve.
7:1: After these things Jesus walked in
Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill
him.
7:2: Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
7:3: His
brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, 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 do these things, shew thyself to the world.
7:5: For neither did his
brethren believe in him.
7:6: Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet
come: but your time is alway ready.
7:7: The world cannot hate you; but me it
hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
7:8: Go ye
up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full
come.
7:9: When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
Galilee.
7:10: But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto
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,
Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
7:13: Howbeit no man spake 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 marvelled, 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 of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself.
7:18: He that speaketh of 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 devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
7:21: Jesus
answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
7:22:
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of
the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
7:23: If a man on
the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be
broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the
sabbath day?
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
unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
7:27:
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but 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 unto them, Yet a little
while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
7:34: Ye shall seek
me, and shall 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 unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the
Gentiles?
7:36: What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me,
and shall 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
thirst, let him come unto 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 spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not
yet glorified.)
7:40: Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
7:41: Others said, This is the
Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
7:42: Hath not the
scripture said, That Christ cometh of 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.
T> 7:45: Then came the officers to the chief priests and
Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
7:46: The
officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
7:47: Then answered them
the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
7:48: Have any of the rulers or of the
Pharisees believed on him?
7:49: But this people who knoweth not the law are
cursed.
7:50: Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night,
being one of them,)
7:51: Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and
know what he doeth?
7:52: They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of
Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
7:53: And
every man went unto his own house.
8:1: Jesus went unto the mount of
Olives.
8:2: And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all
the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
8:3: And the
scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they
had set her in the midst,
8:4: They say unto 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 lifted up himself, and said unto 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 which heard it,
being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the
eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in
the midst.
8:10: When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the
woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man
condemned thee?
8:11: She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
8:12: Then spake Jesus again
unto 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 unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not
true.
8:14: Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of
myself, yet my record 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 bear
witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
8:19:
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know
me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father
also.
8:20: These words spake Jesus 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 unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall
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 unto 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 unto you, that ye shall
die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your
sins.
8:25: Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,
Even the same that I said unto 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 of him.
8:27: They understood not
that he spake to them of the Father.
8:28: Then said Jesus unto 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 spake these
words, many believed on him.
8:31: Then said Jesus to those Jews which
believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples
indeed;
8:32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.
8:33: They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, 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 unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the
servant of sin.
8:35: And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but
the Son abideth 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 seed; 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 unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith unto 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 of God: this did not Abraham.
8:41: Ye do the deeds
of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have
one Father, even God.
8:42: Jesus said unto 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
convinceth me of sin? And if I say 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 unto him, Say we not
well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
8:49: Jesus answered, I
have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
8:50: And I
seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
8:51: Verily,
verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see
death.
8:52: Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he
shall never taste of death.
8:53: Art thou greater than our father Abraham,
which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
8:54:
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that
honoureth 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 shall be a
liar like unto 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 unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen
Abraham?
8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am.
8:59: Then took they 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 which was blind from his
birth.
9:2: And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, 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 spat 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 unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam,
(which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and
came seeing.
9:8: The neighbours therefore, and they which 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 said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
9:11: He answered
and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said
unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I
received sight.
9:12: Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know
not.
9:13: They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was
blind.
9:14: And it was the sabbath day 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 unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do
see.
9:16: Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God,
because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a
sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
9:17: They say
unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine
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 shall
speak for himself.
9:22: These words spake his parents, because they feared
the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess 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 called they the man that was
blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a
sinner.
9:25: He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not:
one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
9:26: Then said they
to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
9:27: He
answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore 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 Moses' disciples.
9:29: We know
that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he
is.
9:30: The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous
thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine
eyes.
9:31: Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
9:32: Since the world
began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born
blind.
9:33: If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
9:34: They
answered and said unto 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 unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son
of God?
9:36: He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
him?
9:37: And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
that talketh with thee.
9:38: And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped
him.
9:39: And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they
which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
9:40:
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto
him, Are we blind also?
9:41: Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye
should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin
remaineth.
10:1: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and
a robber.
10:2: But he that entereth in 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 spake
Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake
unto them.
10:7: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
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 enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.
10:10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might 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 an 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 an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
10:14: I am
the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
10:15: As the
Father knoweth me, even so know I 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 might 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 of 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 devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
10:21: Others said,
These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil 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 round about him, and said unto him, How long
dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
10:25:
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my
Father's name, they bear witness of me.
10:26: But ye believe not, because ye
are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
10:27: My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me:
10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and
they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my
hand.
10:29: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
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 shewed 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, unto 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 out of their
hand,
10:40: And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
10:41: And many resorted unto him, and
said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake 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 which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
11:3:
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest
is sick.
11:4: When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto
death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified
thereby.
11:5: Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
11:6:
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the
same place where he was.
11:7: Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let
us go into Judaea again.
11:8: His disciples say unto 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 walk in the day, he
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
11:10: But if a man
walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11:11:
These things said he: and after that he saith unto 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 sleep, he shall do well.
11:13: Howbeit Jesus spake of
his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in
sleep.
11:14: Then said Jesus unto 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 unto him.
11:16: Then said Thomas, which is called
Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, 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 unto Jerusalem, about fifteen
furlongs off:
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 still in the house.
11:21:
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not
died.
11:22: But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God
will give it thee.
11:23: Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise
again.
11:24: Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
11:25: Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live:
11:26: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
die. Believest thou this?
11:27: She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe
that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the
world.
11:28: And when she had so said, she went her way, 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 unto him.
11:30: Now
Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met
him.
11:31: The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted
her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her,
saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
11:32: Then when Mary was
come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto 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 which came with her, he
groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
11:34: And said, Where have ye laid
him? They said unto 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, which 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 unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four
days.
11:40: Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto 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 which stand by I
said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
11:43: And when he
thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
11:44: And
he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face
was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him
go.
11:45: Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things
which Jesus did, believed on him.
11:46: But some of them went their ways to
the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
11:47: Then gathered
the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this
man doeth many miracles.
11:48: If we let him thus alone, all men will
believe on him: and the Romans shall 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 unto 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 spake he 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 gather
together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
11:53: Then
from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to
death.
11:54: Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went
thence unto 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 up to Jerusalem before the passover, to
purify themselves.
11:56: Then sought they for Jesus, and spake 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 were, he should shew it, that they
might take him.
12:1: Then Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was which 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 took Mary 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 odour of the
ointment.
12:4: Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
which should 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 bare what was put
therein.
12:7: Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
hath she kept this.
12:8: For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye
have not always.
12:9: Much 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 much people that were 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 understood not his
disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that
these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto
him.
12:17: The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out
of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
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 up to worship at the feast:
12:21:
The same came therefore to Philip, which 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 unto 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 unto 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 honour.
12:27: Now is my soul troubled; and
what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto
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 spake 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 be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto 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
unto 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 spake Jesus, and departed, and did
hide 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 Esaias the
prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, 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 Esaias 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 Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake 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
whosoever 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 of myself; but the
Father which 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:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto 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 unto the Father, having
loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto 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 was come from God, and went 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 poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded.
13:6: Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
13:7: Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do
thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8: Peter saith unto
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 unto 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 clean every whit: and ye are
clean, but not all.
13:11: For he knew who should 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 unto 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 unto
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 come, that, when it is come to
pass, ye may believe that I am he.
13:20: Verily, verily, I say unto 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 unto you, that one of
you shall betray me.
13:22: Then the disciples looked one on another,
doubting of whom he spake.
13:23: Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one
of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
13:24: Simon Peter therefore beckoned to
him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
13:25: He then
lying on Jesus' breast saith unto 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 unto him, That thou
doest, do quickly.
13:28: Now no man at the table knew for what intent he
spake this unto him.
13:29: For some of them thought, because Judas had the
bag, that Jesus had said unto 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 was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified,
and God is glorified in him.
13:32: If God be glorified in him, God shall
also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
13:33: Little
children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto
the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
13:34: A new
commandment I give unto 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 unto him,
Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not
follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
13:37: Peter said unto
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 unto thee, The cock shall 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 unto 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 unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
14:7: If ye
had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know
him, and have seen him.
14:8: Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the
Father, and it sufficeth us.
14:9: Jesus saith unto 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, Shew us the Father?
14:10:
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that
I speak unto you I speak not of 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
unto 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 unto my Father.
14:13: And
whatsoever 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 shall 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 shall 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 of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to
him.
14:22: Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou
wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
14:23: Jesus answered
and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will
love him, and we will come unto 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 the Father's which sent me.
14:25: These things have I spoken unto
you, being yet present with you.
14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
14:27:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
14:28:
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye
loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father
is greater than I.
14:29: And now I have told you before it come to pass,
that, when it is come to pass, ye might 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
purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
15:3: Now ye are clean
through the word which I have spoken unto 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 abide 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 shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
15:8: Herein
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 unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that
your joy might 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
whatsoever 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 of my Father I have made known unto 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
whatsoever 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
hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
15:19: If ye were of
the world, the world would love his 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 unto 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 unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that
sent me.
15:22: If I had not come and spoken unto 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 none other
man did, 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 unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of
me:
15:27: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from
the beginning.
16:1: These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not
be offended.
16:2: They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God
service.
16:3: And these things will they do unto 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 unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5: But now I
go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest
thou?
16:6: But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled
your heart.
16:7: Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you
that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but
if I depart, I will send him unto 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 unto you, but ye
cannot bear them now.
16:13: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come.
16:14: He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
shew it unto you.
16:15: All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore
said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto 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 unto 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 unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of
that 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 unto you, That ye shall
weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall 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 shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
16:24: Hitherto have ye
asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be
full.
16:25: These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time
cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you
plainly of the Father.
16:26: At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say
not unto 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 out
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
unto 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 forth from God.
16:31: Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe?
16:32: Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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 unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world.
17:1: These words spake 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 might 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 thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world
was.
17:6: I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out
of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy
word.
17:7: Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me
are of thee.
17:8: For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;
and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out 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 which thou hast given 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 thine own name those whom
thou hast given 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 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 come I to thee; and these things I speak
in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
17:14: I
have given 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
shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest 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 might be
sanctified through the truth.
17:20: Neither pray I for these alone, but for
them also which 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 me I have given 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 me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast
given 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 unto them
thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith 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 Cedron, where was a garden, into the
which he entered, and his disciples.
18:2: And Judas also, which betrayed
him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes 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 should come upon him,
went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
18:5: They answered him, Jesus
of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him,
stood with them.
18:6: As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they
went backward, and fell to the ground.
18:7: Then asked he 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 their way:
18:9: That
the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have
I lost none.
18:10: Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the
high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was
Malchus.
18:11: Then said Jesus unto 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, which was the high priest that same year.
18:14: Now Caiaphas was
he, which 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 unto 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, which was known unto the high
priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
18:17:
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto 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 of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
18:20:
Jesus answered him, I spake 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 askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said
unto them: behold, they know what I said.
18:22: And when he had thus spoken,
one of the officers which 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 witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou
me?
18:24: Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high
priest.
18:25: And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore
unto 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 his kinsman 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 crew.
18:28: Then led they
Jesus from Caiaphas unto 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 unto them, and
said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
18:30: They answered and
said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up
unto thee.
18:31: Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him
according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto 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 spake, signifying what death he should die.
18:33: Then Pilate
entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art
thou the King of the Jews?
18:34: Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing
of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
18:35: Pilate answered, Am I a
Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto 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 unto 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 bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth
heareth my voice.
18:38: Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he
had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in
him no fault at all.
18:39: But ye have a custom, that I should release unto
you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of
the Jews?
18:40: Then cried they all 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 unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may
know that I find no fault in him.
19:5: Then came Jesus forth, wearing the
crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the
man!
19:6: When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried
out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto 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 unto Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10: Then saith Pilate unto
him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify
thee, and have power to release thee?
19:11: Jesus answered, Thou couldest
have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore
he that delivered me unto 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 Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a
king speaketh against Caesar.
19:13: When Pilate therefore heard that saying,
he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in 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 unto the
Jews, Behold your King!
19:15: But they cried out, Away with him, away with
him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
19:16: Then delivered he him
therefore unto 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 other with him, on either 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: This title then
read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the
city: and it was written in Hebrew, and 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 did 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 unto 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 unto 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 gave up the ghost.
19:31:
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not
remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high
day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be
taken away.
19:32: Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,
and of the other which was crucified with him.
19:33: But when they came to
Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
19:34: But
one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out
blood and water.
19:35: And he that saw it bare record, and his record is
true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might 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 Arimathaea,
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,
which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and
aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
19:40: Then took they the body of
Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes 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 sepulchre, wherein was never man yet
laid.
19:42: There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation
day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
20:1: The first day of the week
cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth
the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
20:2: Then she runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto
them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where
they have laid him.
20:3: Peter therefore went forth, and that other
disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
20:4: So they ran both together: and the
other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
20:5: And
he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not
in.
20:6: Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie,
20:7: And the napkin, that was about his
head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by
itself.
20:8: Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the
sepulchre, 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 unto their own home.
20:11: But Mary stood without at the
sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the
sepulchre,
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 unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto 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 back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not
that it was Jesus.
20:15: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom
seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if
thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him
away.
20:16: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto
him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
20:17: Jesus saith unto her, Touch me
not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto 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 unto 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, came Jesus and stood in the
midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20:20: And when he had so
said, he shewed unto 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 unto
you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
20:22: And when he had
said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy
Ghost:
20:23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto 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 unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto 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 unto 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 unto him, My Lord and my God.
20:29: Jesus saith unto 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 might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
21:1: After
these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias;
and on this wise shewed he 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 other of his disciples.
21:3: Simon Peter saith unto them, I
go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and
entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
21:4:
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples
knew not that it was Jesus.
21:5: Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have
ye any meat? They answered him, No.
21:6: And he said unto them, Cast the net
on the right side of the ship, 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 unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon
Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he
was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
21:8: And the other disciples
came in a little ship; (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
were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and
bread.
21:10: Jesus saith unto 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, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was
not the net broken.
21:12: Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of
the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
