[1]
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with
God.
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was
not any thing made that was made.
[4] In him was life; and
the life was the light of men.
[5] And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[6] There
was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7] The same
came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men
through him might believe.
[8] He was not that Light, but
was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[9] That was the
true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[10]
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not.
[11] He came unto his own, and his own
received him not.
[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:
[13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[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.
[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.
[16] And of his
fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[17] For
the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
[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.
[19] And this is the record of John, when the Jews
sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art
thou?
[20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed,
I am not the Christ.
[21] And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he
answered, No.
[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?
[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.
[24] And they which were sent were of the
Pharisees.
[25] And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither
that prophet?
[26] John answered them, saying, I baptize
with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
[27]
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's
latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
[28] These things were
done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
[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.
[30]
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred
before me: for he was before me.
[31] And I knew him not:
but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come
baptizing with water.
[32] And John bare record, saying, I
saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon
him.
[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.
[34] And I saw, and bare
record that this is the Son of God.
[35] Again the next day
after John stood, and two of his disciples;
[36] And
looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of
God!
[37] And the two disciples heard him speak, and they
followed Jesus.
[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?
[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.
[40] One of the two which heard John speak, and
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
[41] He
first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have
found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
[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.
[43] The day following Jesus would
go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow
me.
[44] Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew
and Peter.
[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.
[46] And
Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of
Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
[47] Jesus
saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him,
Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
[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.
[49]
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of
God; thou art the King of Israel.
[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.
[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.
[1]
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there:
[2] And both Jesus was called,
and his disciples, to the marriage.
[3] And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no
wine.
[4] Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
[5]
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do
it.
[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.
[7] Jesus saith unto them, Fill
the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the
brim.
[8] And he saith unto them, Draw
out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they
bare it.
[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,
[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.
[11] This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed
on him.
[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.
[13] And the Jews' passover was at
hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[14] And found in the
temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting:
[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;
[16] And said unto them that sold doves, Take
these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of
merchandise.
[17] And his disciples remembered that
it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
[18]
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto
us, seeing that thou doest these things?
[19] Jesus
answered and said unto them, Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[20]
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[21] But he spake
of the temple of his body.
[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.
[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.
[24] But Jesus did not commit himself unto
them, because he knew all men,
[25] And needed not that any
should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
[1]
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the
Jews:
[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]
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.
[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?
[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.
[6] That which is born
of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I
said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[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.
[9] Nicodemus
answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
[10]
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a
master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
[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.
[12] If I have told
you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I
tell you of heavenly things?
[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.
[14]
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of man be lifted up:
[15] That
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal
life.
[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.
[17]
For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through him might be
saved.
[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.
[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.
[20]
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
[21] But
he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
[22] After these
things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and
there he tarried with them, and baptized.
[23] And John
also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much
water there: and they came, and were baptized.
[24] For
John was not yet cast into prison.
[25] Then there arose a
question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about
purifying.
[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.
[27]
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given
him from heaven.
[28] Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I
said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
[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.
[30]
He must increase, but I must decrease.
[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.
[32]
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man
receiveth his testimony.
[33] He that hath received his
testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
[34] For
he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not
the Spirit by measure unto him.
[35] The Father loveth the
Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
[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.
[1]
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus
made and baptized more disciples than John,
[2] (Though
Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
[3] He left
Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
[4] And he must
needs go through Samaria.
[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.
[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.
[7] There cometh
a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give
me to drink.
[8] (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.)
[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.
[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.
[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?
[12] Art thou
greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank
thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
[13]
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever
drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
[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.
[15] The
woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Go,
call thy husband, and come hither.
[17] The woman
answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou
hast well said, I have no husband:
[18]
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy
husband: in that saidst thou truly.
[19] The woman
saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
[20]
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
[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.
[22] Ye
worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is
of the Jews.
[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.
[24] God is a Spirit: and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
[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.
[26]
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am
he.
[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?
[28] The woman
then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to
the men,
[29] Come, see a man, which told me all things
that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
[30] Then they
went out of the city, and came unto him.
[31] In the mean
while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
[32]
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that
ye know not of.
[33] Therefore said the disciples
one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
[34]
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the
will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
[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.
[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.
[37] And
herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
[38]
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no
labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
labours.
[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.
[40] So when the Samaritans
were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them:
and he abode there two days.
[41] And many more believed
because of his own word;
[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.
[43] Now after two days he departed thence, and
went into Galilee.
[44] For Jesus himself testified, that a
prophet hath no honour in his own country.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[48] Then said Jesus unto
him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will
not believe.
[49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir,
come down ere my child die.
[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.
[51] And as
he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying,
Thy son liveth.
[52] Then inquired he of them the hour when
he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh
hour the fever left him.
[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.
[54]
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out
of Judaea into Galilee.
[1]
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
[2] Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having
five porches.
[3] In these lay a great multitude of
impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of
the water.
[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] And a certain man was there, which had
an infirmity thirty and eight years.
[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?
[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.
[8] Jesus saith unto him, Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk.
[9] And immediately the
man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same
day was the sabbath.
[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.
[11] He answered them, He that made me
whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed,
and walk.
[12] Then asked they him, What man is that
which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and
walk?
[13] And he that was healed wist not who it
was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that
place.
[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.
[15] The
man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him
whole.
[16] And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and
sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath
day.
[17] But Jesus answered them, My
Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[21] For
as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the
Son quickeneth whom he will.
[22] For
the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son:
[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.
[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.
[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.
[26]
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath
he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27]
And hath given him authority to execute
judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[28]
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in
the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[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.
[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.
[31] If I
bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
[32]
There is another that beareth witness of me;
and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
[33]
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the
truth.
[34] But I receive not
testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be
saved.
[35] He was a burning
and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in
his light.
[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.
[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.
[38]
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for
whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
[39] Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me.
[40]
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
[41]
I receive not honour from men.
[42]
But I know you, that ye have not the love of
God in you.
[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.
[44] How
can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the
honour that cometh from God only?
[45] Do
not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that
accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
[46] For
had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of
me.
[47] But if ye believe not
his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
[1]
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the
sea of Tiberias.
[2] And a great multitude followed him,
because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were
diseased.
[3] And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there
he sat with his disciples.
[4] And the passover, a feast of
the Jews, was nigh.
[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] And this
he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
[7]
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
[8]
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto
him,
[9] There is a lad here, which hath five barley
loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
[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.
[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.
[12] When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments
that remain, that nothing be lost.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[16] And when even was now come, his disciples went
down unto the sea,
[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.
[18] And the sea arose by reason of a great
wind that blew.
[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.
[20] But
he saith unto them, It is I; be not
afraid.
[21] Then they willingly received him into
the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they
went.
[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;
[23] (Howbeit there came
other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat
bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
[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.
[25] And when they had found him on the other side
of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
[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.
[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.
[28]
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the
works of God?
[29] Jesus answered and said unto them, This
is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
[30]
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we
may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
[31] Our
fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them
bread from heaven to eat.
[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.
[33] For the
bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life
unto the world.
[34] Then said they unto him, Lord,
evermore give us this bread.
[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.
[36] But I said unto
you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
[37]
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
[38]
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me.
[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.
[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.
[41] The Jews then murmured at him,
because he said, I am the bread which came down
from heaven.
[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?
[43] Jesus
therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur
not among yourselves.
[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.
[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.
[46] Not that
any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen
the Father.
[47] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting
life.
[48] I am that bread of
life.
[49] Your fathers did
eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
[50] This
is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die.
[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.
[52]
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man
give us his flesh to eat?
[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.
[54] Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him
up at the last day.
[55] For
my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
[56]
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
dwelleth in me, and I in him.
[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.
[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.
[59] These things said he in the synagogue, as
he taught in Capernaum.
[60] Many therefore of his
disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying;
who can hear it?
[61] When Jesus knew in himself that his
disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth
this offend you?
[62] What and
if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[66] From that time many of his
disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
[67] Then
said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go
away?
[68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to
whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
[69]
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the
living God.
[70] Jesus answered them, Have
not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
[71]
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that
should betray him, being one of the twelve.
[1]
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in
Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
[2] Now the
Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
[3] His brethren
therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy
disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
[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.
[5] For neither did his brethren believe in
him.
[6] Then Jesus said unto them, My
time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
[7]
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth,
because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
[8]
Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto
this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
[9]
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
Galilee.
[10] But when his brethren were gone up, then went
he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
[11]
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
[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.
[13] Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of
the Jews.
[14] Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went
up into the temple, and taught.
[15] And the Jews
marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never
learned?
[16] Jesus answered them, and said, My
doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
[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.
[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.
[19] Did not Moses
give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye
about to kill me?
[20] The people answered and said,
Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
[21] Jesus
answered and said unto them, I have done one
work, and ye all marvel.
[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.
[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?
[24] Judge not
according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
[25]
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek
to kill?
[26] But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say
nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very
Christ?
[27] Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but
when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
[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.
[29]
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath
sent me.
[30] Then they sought to take him: but no
man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
[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?
[32]
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning
him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take
him.
[33] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet
a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent
me.
[34] Ye shall seek me, and
shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
[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?
[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?
[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.
[38] He that
believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water.
[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.)
[40] Many of the people therefore, when they
heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
[41]
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out
of Galilee?
[42] Hath not the scripture said, That Christ
cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where
David was?
[43] So there was a division among the people
because of him.
[44] And some of them would have taken him;
but no man laid hands on him.
[45] Then came the officers
to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have
ye not brought him?
[46] The officers answered, Never man
spake like this man.
[47] Then answered them the Pharisees,
Are ye also deceived?
[48] Have any of the rulers or of the
Pharisees believed on him?
[49] But this people who knoweth
not the law are cursed.
[50] Nicodemus saith unto them, (he
that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
[51] Doth
our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he
doeth?
[52] They answered and said unto him, Art thou also
of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no
prophet.
[53] And every man went unto his own house.
[1]
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
[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.
[3] And the scribes
and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when
they had set her in the midst,
[4] They say unto him,
Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
[5]
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but
what sayest thou?
[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.
[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] And again he stooped down, and wrote on
the ground.
[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.
[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?
[11]
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither
do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
[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.
[13] The Pharisees
therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record
is not true.
[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.
[15] Ye judge after the
flesh; I judge no man.
[16] And
yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and
the Father that sent me.
[17] It
is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is
true.
[18] I am one that bear
witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of
me.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[22]
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither
I go, ye cannot come.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[27]
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
[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.
[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.
[30] As he spake these
words, many believed on him.
[31] Then said Jesus to those
Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in
my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
[32] And
ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
[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?
[34] Jesus
answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
[35]
And the servant abideth not in the house for
ever: but the Son abideth ever.
[36] If
the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
[37]
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek
to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
[38]
I speak that which I have seen with my Father:
and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[43]
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
word.
[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.
[45]
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me
not.
[46] Which of you
convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe
me?
[47] He that is of God
heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not
of God.
[48] Then answered the Jews, and said unto
him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a
devil?
[49] Jesus answered, I have
not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
[50]
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one
that seeketh and judgeth.
[51] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see
death.
[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.
[53]
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the
prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
[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:
[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.
[56] Your father
Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
[57]
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and
hast thou seen Abraham?
[58] Jesus said unto them,
Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am.
[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.
[1]
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his
birth.
[2] And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who
did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
[3]
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned,
nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in
him.
[4] I must work the works
of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man
can work.
[5] As long as I am
in the world, I am the light of the world.
[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,
[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.
[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] Some said,
This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
[10]
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
[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.
[12]
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
[13]
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
[14]
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his
eyes.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[19] And they asked them, saying, Is
this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now
see?
[20] His parents answered them and said, We know that
this is our son, and that he was born blind:
[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.
[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.
[23]
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
[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.
[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.
[26]
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine
eyes?
[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?
[28] Then they reviled him, and said, Thou
art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
[29] We know
that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from
whence he is.
[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.
[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.
[32] Since the world began was it
not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born
blind.
[33] If this man were not of God, he could do
nothing.
[34] They answered and said unto him, Thou wast
altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him
out.
[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?
[36] He answered and
said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
[37]
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen
him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
[38] And
he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
[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.
[40] And some of the Pharisees
which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we
blind also?
[41] Jesus said unto them, If
ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth.
[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.
[2] But
he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
[3]
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
[4]
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he
goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his
voice.
[5] And a stranger will
they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice
of strangers.
[6] This parable spake Jesus unto
them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake
unto them.
[7] Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
[8]
All that ever came before me are thieves and
robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
[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] 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.
[11] I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
[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.
[13] The
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the
sheep.
[14] I am the good
shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
[15]
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the
Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
[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.
[17] Therefore
doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take
it again.
[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.
[19] There was a division therefore
again among the Jews for these sayings.
[20] And many of
them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
[21]
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a
devil open the eyes of the blind?
[22] And it was at
Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
[23]
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
[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.
[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.
[26] But ye
believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
[27]
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and
they follow me:
[28] And I
give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
[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.
[30] I
and my Father are one.
[31]
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
[32] Jesus
answered them, Many good works have I shewed
you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
[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.
[34] Jesus answered them, Is it
not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
[35]
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken;
[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?
[37]
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
[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.
[39] Therefore they sought again to
take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
[40] And went
away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized;
and there he abode.
[41] And many resorted unto him, and
said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man
were true.
[42] And many believed on him there.
[1]
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of
Mary and her sister Martha.
[2] (It was that Mary which
anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair,
whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
[3] Therefore his sisters
sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
[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.
[5] Now Jesus loved
Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
[6] When he had heard
therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place
where he was.
[7] Then after that saith he to his
disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
[8]
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone
thee; and goest thou thither again?
[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.
[10]
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth,
because there is no light in him.
[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.
[12] Then said his disciples, Lord, if he
sleep, he shall do well.
[13] Howbeit Jesus spake of his
death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in
sleep.
[14] Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus
is dead.
[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.
[16] Then said
Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us
also go, that we may die with him.
[17] Then when Jesus
came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
[18]
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
[19]
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother.
[20] Then Martha, as soon as she
heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in
the house.
[21] Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou
hadst been here, my brother had not died.
[22] But I know,
that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it
thee.
[23] Jesus saith unto her, Thy
brother shall rise again.
[24] Martha saith unto
him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last
day.
[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:
[26] And
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou
this?
[27] She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe
that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the
world.
[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.
[29] As soon as she heard that, she arose
quickly, and came unto him.
[30] Now Jesus was not yet come
into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
[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.
[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.
[33] When Jesus therefore saw her
weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in
the spirit, and was troubled,
[34] And said, Where
have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
[35]
Jesus wept.
[36] Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved
him!
[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?
[38] Jesus therefore again groaning in
himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon
it.
[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.
[40] Jesus saith unto her, Said
I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see
the glory of God?
[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.
[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.
[43]
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth.
[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.
[45] Then many of the Jews
which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed
on him.
[46] But some of them went their ways to the
Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
[47]
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and
said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
[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.
[49]
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same
year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
[50] Nor
consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the
people, and that the whole nation perish not.
[51] And this
spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he
prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
[52] And
not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in
one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
[53]
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to
death.
[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.
[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.
[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?
[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.
[1]
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
[2]
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one
of them that sat at the table with him.
[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.
[4] Then saith one of his
disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
[5]
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to
the poor?
[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.
[7] Then said Jesus, Let her
alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
[8]
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye
have not always.
[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.
[10] But the chief priests consulted that they
might put Lazarus also to death;
[11] Because that by
reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
[12]
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they
heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
[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.
[14] And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat
thereon; as it is written,
[15] Fear not, daughter of Sion:
behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
[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.
[17]
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of
his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
[18]
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he
had done this miracle.
[19] The Pharisees therefore said
among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the
world is gone after him.
[20] And there were certain Greeks
among them that came up to worship at the feast:
[21] The
same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and
desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
[22] Philip
cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
[23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The
hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
[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.
[25]
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[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.
[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.
[28]
Father, glorify thy name. Then came
there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will
glorify it again.
[29] The people therefore, that stood by,
and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to
him.
[30] Jesus answered and said, This
voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
[31]
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall
the prince of this world be cast out.
[32] And
I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
[33]
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
[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?
[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.
[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.
[37] But though he had done so many miracles before
them, yet they believed not on him:
[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?
[39] Therefore they could not believe, because
that Esaias said again,
[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.
[41] These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory,
and spake of him.
[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:
[43]
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
[44]
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me,
believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
[45]
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent
me.
[46] I am come a light
into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in
darkness.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[50]
And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said
unto me, so I speak.
[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.
[2] And supper being ended, the devil having now put
into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
[3]
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he was come from God, and went to God;
[4] He
riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel,
and girded himself.
[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.
[6] Then cometh he to
Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my
feet?
[7] Jesus answered and said unto him, What
I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
[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.
[9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my
feet only, but also my hands and my head.
[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.
[11] For he knew who should betray him;
therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
[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] Ye
call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
[14]
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
[15]
For I have given you an example, that ye should
do as I have done to you.
[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.
[17]
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do
them.
[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.
[19] Now I tell
you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe
that I am he.
[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.
[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.
[22] Then the disciples
looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
[23] Now
there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus
loved.
[24] Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he
should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
[25] He then
lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
[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.
[27] And
after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That
thou doest, do quickly.
[28] Now no man at the table
knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
[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.
[30] He then
having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
[31]
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now
is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
[32]
If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself,
and shall straightway glorify him.
[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.
[34] A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.
[35] By
this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one
to another.
[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.
[37] Peter said unto him, Lord, why
cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
[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.
[1]
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
me.
[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.
[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.
[4]
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye
know.
[5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not
whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
[6] Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[7]
If ye had known me, ye should have known my
Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[8]
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth
us.
[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?
[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.
[11]
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
[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.
[13]
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that
will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
[14]
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do
it.
[15] If ye love me, keep
my commandments.
[16] And I
will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that
he may abide with you for ever;
[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.
[18]
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19]
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no
more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
[20]
At that day ye shall know that I am in my
Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
[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.
[22] Judas
saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest
thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[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.
[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.
[25]
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet
present with you.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[29] And
now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe.
[30] Hereafter
I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh,
and hath nothing in me.
[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.
[1]
I am the true vine, and my Father is the
husbandman.
[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.
[3]
Now ye are clean through the word which I have
spoken unto you.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[8] Herein is
my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
disciples.
[9] As the Father
hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[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.
[11]
These things have I spoken unto you, that my
joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
[12]
This is my commandment, That ye love one
another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
[14] Ye are my
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[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.
[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.
[17] These things I
command you, that ye love one another.
[18] If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you.
[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.
[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.
[21]
But all these things will they do unto you for
my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
[22]
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they
had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
[23]
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
[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.
[25] But this cometh
to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their
law, They hated me without a cause.
[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:
[27] And
ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the
beginning.
[1]
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye
should not be offended.
[2] They
shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
[3]
And these things will they do unto you, because
they have not known the Father, nor me.
[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.
[5]
But now I go my way to him that sent me; and
none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
[6] But
because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your
heart.
[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.
[8] And
when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
[9] Of
sin, because they believe not on me;
[10] Of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[11]
Of judgment, because the prince of this world
is judged.
[12] I have yet
many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[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.
[14]
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall shew it unto you.
[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]
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.
[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?
[18]
They said therefore, What is this that he saith,
A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
[19]
Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto
them, Do ye inquire 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?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[24] Hitherto have ye
asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy
may be full.
[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.
[26] At that day
ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the
Father for you:
[27] For the
Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God.
[28] I
came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I
leave the world, and go to the Father.
[29] His
disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest
no proverb.
[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.
[31] Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe?
[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.
[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.
[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:
[2] As
thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal
life to as many as thou hast given him.
[3] And
this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
[4] I
have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou
gavest me to do.
[5] And now,
O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I
had with thee before the world was.
[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.
[7] Now they have
known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
[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.
[9] I
pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast
given me; for they are thine.
[10] And
all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in
them.
[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.
[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.
[13]
And now come I to thee; and these things I
speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in
themselves.
[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.
[15] I
pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that
thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16] They
are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17]
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is
truth.
[18] As thou hast sent
me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
[19]
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that
they also might be sanctified through the truth.
[20]
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them
also which shall believe on me through their word;
[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.
[22] And
the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one:
[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.
[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.
[25]
O righteous Father, the world hath not known
thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent
me.
[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.
[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.
[2] And Judas also, which betrayed him,
knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his
disciples.
[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.
[4] Jesus therefore,
knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said
unto them, Whom seek ye?
[5]
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I
am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with
them.
[6] As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he,
they went backward, and fell to the ground.
[7] Then asked
he them again, Whom seek ye? And they
said, Jesus of Nazareth.
[8] Jesus answered,
I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go
their way:
[9] That the saying might be fulfilled,
which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me
have I lost none.
[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.
[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?
[12] Then the band and the captain and officers
of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
[13] And led him
away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was
the high priest that same year.
[14] Now Caiaphas was he,
which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man
should die for the people.
[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.
[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.
[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]
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.
[19] The high priest then
asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
[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.
[21]
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me,
what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
[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?
[23] Jesus answered him,
If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why
smitest thou me?
[24] Now Annas had sent him bound
unto Caiaphas the high priest.
[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.
[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?
[27]
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
[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.
[29]
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye
against this man?
[30] They answered and said unto him, If
he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto
thee.
[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:
[32] That the
saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what
death he should die.
[33] Then Pilate entered into the
judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou
the King of the Jews?
[34] Jesus answered him, Sayest
thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
[35]
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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?
[40] Then cried they
all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a
robber.
[1]
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
[2] And
the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and
they put on him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of
the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[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.
[5]
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple
robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[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.
[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.
[8] When Pilate
therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
[9]
And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence
art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
[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?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[14] And it was the
preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith
unto the Jews, Behold your King!
[15] But they cried out,
Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them,
Shall I crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We have no king
but Caesar.
[16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them
to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
[17]
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of
a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
[18] Where
they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst.
[19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put
it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
[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.
[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.
[22] Pilate
answered, What I have written I have written.
[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.
[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.
[25]
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
[26]
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by,
whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!
[27] Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And from that hour
that disciple took her unto his own home.
[28] After this,
Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the
scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
thirst.
[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.
[30] When Jesus therefore
had received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
[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.
[32] Then
came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other
which was crucified with him.
[33] But when they came to
Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his
legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his
side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
[35]
And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
[36] For
these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another
scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[42]
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day;
for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
[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.
[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.
[3] Peter therefore went forth,
and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
[4] So
they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and
came first to the sepulchre.
[5] And he stooping down, and
looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
[6]
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie,
[7] And the napkin, that
was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped
together in a place by itself.
[8] Then went in also that
other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and
believed.
[9] For as yet they knew not the scripture, that
he must rise again from the dead.
[10] Then the disciples
went away again unto their own home.
[11] But Mary stood
without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down,
and looked into the sepulchre,
[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.
[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.
[14]
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
[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.
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary.
She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say,
Master.
[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.
[18] Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and
that he had spoken these things unto her.
[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] 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.
[21] Then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.
[22] And when he had said this,
he breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
[23]
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose
soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
[24] But
Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[28] And Thomas answered and said unto
him, My Lord and my God.
[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.
[30] And many
other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which
are not written in this book:
[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.
[1]
After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
[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.
[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.
[4] But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood
on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
[5]
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye
any meat? They answered him, No.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[9] As soon then as they were
come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon,
and bread.
[10] Jesus saith unto them, Bring
of the fish which ye have now caught.
[11] Simon
Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and
hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was
not the net broken.
[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.
[13] Jesus then
cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
[14]
This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
[15] So
when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.
[16] He saith to him again the second time,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He
saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my sheep.
[17]
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto
him the third time, Lovest thou me? And
he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my
sheep.
[18] Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and
walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou
shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry
thee whither thou wouldest not.
[19] This spake he,
signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had
spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
[20]
Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord,
which is he that betrayeth thee?
[21] Peter seeing him
saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
[22]
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry
till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
[23]
Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but,
If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
[24]
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote
these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
[25]
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world
itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
