If you want to accept God's
offer in his Son, say a prayer like this:
Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and Savior of the
world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins
and come into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life, but to guide me
to live according to the words I read in the Bible. Thank you for your mercy and
forgiveness. I am now committed to be your follower.
Amen.

The Book of John
Chapter 1
001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and
the Word was
God.
001:002 The same was in the beginning with God.
001:003 All things were made by him; and without him was
not any thing
made that was
made.
001:004 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
001:005 And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness
comprehended it not.
001:006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
001:007 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of
the Light,
that all men through
him might believe.
001:008 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that
Light.
001:009 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
that cometh
into the world.
001:010 He was in the world, and the world was made by
him, and the
world knew him
not.
001:011 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
001:012 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:
001:013 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh,
nor of the will of man,
but of God.
001:014 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.
001:015 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.
001:016 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
001:017 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and
truth came by
Jesus Christ.
001:018 No man hath seen God at any time, the only
begotten Son, which
is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
001:019 And this is the record of John, when the Jews
sent priests and
Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
001:020 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed,
I am not the
Christ.
001:021 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I
am not. Art thou
that prophet? And he answered, No.
001:022 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we
may give an
answer to them that
sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
001:023 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make
straight the way
of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
001:024 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
001:025 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
baptizest thou
then, if thou be
not that Christ, nor Elias, neither
that
prophet?
001:026 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water:
but there
standeth one among you,
whom ye know not;
001:027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before
me, whose
shoe's latchet I am not
worthy to unloose.
001:028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond
Jordan, where John
was
baptizing.
001:029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him,
and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the
world.
001:030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man
which is
preferred before me: for
he was before me.
001:031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made
manifest to
Israel, therefore am I
come baptizing with water.
001:032 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending from
heaven like a
dove, and it abode upon him.
001:033 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.
001:034 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
001:035 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
001:036 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith,
Behold the Lamb
of God!
001:037 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they
followed
Jesus.
001:038 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?
001:039 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.
001:040 One of the two which heard John speak, and
followed him, was
Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother.
001:041 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith
unto him, We
have found the
Messias, which is, being interpreted,
the
Christ.
001:042 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.
001:043 The day following Jesus would go forth into
Galilee, and
findeth Philip, and
saith unto him, Follow me.
001:044 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
001:045 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.
001:046 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good
thing come out
of Nazareth? Philip
saith unto him, Come and see.
001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of
him, Behold an
Israelite indeed,
in whom is no guile!
001:048 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.
001:049 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi,
thou art the Son
of God; thou art
the King of Israel.
001:050 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.
001:051 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.
002:001 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and
the mother of Jesus
was there:
002:002 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
002:003 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus
saith unto him,
They have no
wine.
002:004 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do
with thee? mine
hour is not yet
come.
002:005 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he
saith unto
you, do it.
002:006 And there were set there six waterpots of stone,
after the
manner of the purifying
of the Jews, containing two or
three
firkins apiece.
002:007 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with
water. And they
filled them up to
the brim.
002:008 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear
unto the
governor of the feast.
And they bare it.
002:009 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,
002:010 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.
002:011 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of
Galilee, and
manifested forth his
glory; and his disciples believed on him.
002:012 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his
mother, and
his brethren, and his
disciples: and they continued there
not
many days.
002:013 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus
went up to
Jerusalem.
002:014 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and
sheep and
doves, and the changers
of money sitting:
002:015 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;
002:016 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these
things hence;
make not my Father's
house an house of merchandise.
002:017 And his disciples remembered that it was written,
The zeal of
thine house hath eaten
me up.
002:018 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What
sign shewest
thou unto us, seeing
that thou doest these things?
002:019 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this
temple, and in
three days I will
raise it up.
002:020 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this
temple in
building, and wilt thou
rear it up in three days?
002:021 But he spake of the temple of his body.
002:022 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.
002:023 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.
002:024 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them,
because he knew
all men,
002:025 And needed not that any should testify of man:
for he knew
what was in man.
003:001 There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of
the
Jews:
003:002 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.
003:003 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.
003:004 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?
003:005 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.
003:006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is
born of the Spirit
is spirit.
003:007 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
003:008 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.
003:009 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
003:010 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a
master of Israel,
and knowest not
these things?
003:011 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we
do know, and
testify that we have
seen; and ye receive not our witness.
003:012 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe
not, how
shall ye believe, if I
tell you of heavenly things?
003:013 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he
that came down
from heaven, even
the Son of man which is in heaven.
003:014 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so
must the Son
of man be lifted up:
003:015 That whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have
eternal life.
003:016 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.
003:017 For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world;
but that the
world through him might be saved.
003:018 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.
003:019 And this is the condemnation, that light is come
into the
world, and men loved
darkness rather than light, because
their
deeds were evil.
003:020 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh
to the light, lest
his deeds should be reproved.
003:021 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that
his deeds
may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.
003:022 After these things came Jesus and his disciples
into the land
of Judaea; and there
he tarried with them, and baptized.
003:023 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to
Salim, because
there was much
water there: and they came, and were baptized.
003:024 For John was not yet cast into prison.
003:025 Then there arose a question between some of
John's disciples
and the Jews
about purifying.
003:026 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.
003:027 John answered and said, A man can receive
nothing, except it
be given him
from heaven.
003:028 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am
not the
Christ, but that I am sent
before him.
003:029 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.
003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease.
003:031 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.
003:032 And what he hath seen and heard, that he
testifieth; and no
man receiveth
his testimony.
003:033 He that hath received his testimony hath set to
his seal that
God is true.
003:034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of
God: for God
giveth not the Spirit
by measure unto him.
003:035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all
things into his
hand.
003:036 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.
004:001 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees
had heard that
Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John,
004:002 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
004:003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
004:004 And he must needs go through Samaria.
004:005 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.
004:006 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.
004:007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus saith
unto her, Give me to
drink.
004:008 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
004:009 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.
004:010 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.
004:011 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?
004:012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which
gave us the
well, and drank
thereof himself, and his children, and
his
cattle?
004:013 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever
drinketh of this
water shall
thirst again:
004:014 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.
004:015 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this
water, that I
thirst not, neither
come hither to draw.
004:016 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
004:017 The woman answered and said, I have no husband.
Jesus said
unto her, Thou hast
well said, I have no husband:
004:018 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou
now hast is
not thy husband: in
that saidst thou truly.
004:019 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that
thou art a
prophet.
004:020 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye
say, that in
Jerusalem is the
place where men ought to worship.
004:021 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour
cometh, when
ye shall neither in
this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
004:022 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we
worship: for
salvation is of the
Jews.
004:023 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.
004:024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship him in
spirit and in
truth.
004:025 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias
cometh, which is
called Christ:
when he is come, he will tell us all things.
004:026 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
004:027 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?
004:028 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her
way into the
city, and saith to
the men,
004:029 Come, see a man, which told me all things that
ever I did: is
not this the
Christ?
004:030 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
004:031 In the mean while his disciples prayed him,
saying, Master,
eat.
004:032 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
004:033 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath
any man
brought him ought to
eat?
004:034 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will
of him that
sent me, and to finish
his work.
004:035 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.
004:036 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and
gathereth fruit unto
life eternal:
that both he that soweth and he that reapeth
may
rejoice together.
004:037 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and
another
reapeth.
004:038 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no
labour: other
men laboured, and ye
are entered into their labours.
004:039 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.
004:040 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they
besought him
that he would tarry
with them: and he abode there two days.
004:041 And many more believed because of his own word;
004:042 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.
004:043 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
004:044 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath
no honour in
his own country.
004:045 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.
004:046 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.
004:047 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.
004:048 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and
wonders, ye
will not believe.
004:049 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
004:050 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.
004:051 And as he was now going down, his servants met
him, and told
him, saying, Thy son
liveth.
004:052 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began
to amend. And
they said unto him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour the
fever
left him.
004:053 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.
004:054 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did,
when he was
come out of Judaea
into Galilee.
005:001 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and
Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
005:002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a
pool, which is
called in the
Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
005:003 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk,
of blind,
halt, withered, waiting
for the moving of the water.
005:004 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.
005:005 And a certain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and
eight
years.
005:006 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?
005:007 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.
005:008 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
005:009 And immediately the man was made whole, and took
up his bed,
and walked: and on the
same day was the sabbath.
005:010 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured,
It is the
sabbath day: it is not
lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
005:011 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same
said unto
me, Take up thy bed, and
walk.
005:012 Then asked they him, What man is that which said
unto thee,
Take up thy bed, and
walk?
005:013 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for
Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a
multitude being in that place.
005:014 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.
005:015 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was
Jesus, which
had made him
whole.
005:016 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and
sought to slay
him, because he had
done these things on the sabbath day.
005:017 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh
hitherto, and I
work.
005:018 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.
005:019 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.
005:020 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.
005:021 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and
quickeneth them;
even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will.
005:022 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed
all judgment
unto the Son:
005:023 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.
005:024 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.
005:025 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.
005:026 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath
he given to
the Son to have life
in himself;
005:027 And hath given him authority to execute judgment
also, because
he is the Son of
man.
005:028 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in
the which all
that are in the
graves shall hear his voice,
005:029 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.
005:030 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.
005:031 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
005:032 There is another that beareth witness of me; and
I know that
the witness which he
witnesseth of me is true.
005:033 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
005:034 But I receive not testimony from man: but these
things I say,
that ye might be
saved.
005:035 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were
willing for
a season to rejoice in
his light.
005:036 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.
005:037 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.
005:038 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom
he hath
sent, him ye believe
not.
005:039 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye
have eternal
life: and they are
they which testify of me.
005:040 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
005:041 I receive not honour from men.
005:042 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
005:043 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.
005:044 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of
another, and
seek not the honour
that cometh from God only?
005:045 Do not think that I will accuse you to the
Father: there is
one that accuseth
you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
005:046 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed
me; for he
wrote of me.
005:047 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye
believe my
words?
006:001 After these things Jesus went over the sea of
Galilee, which
is the sea of
Tiberias.
006:002 And a great multitude followed him, because they
saw his
miracles which he did on
them that were diseased.
006:003 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he
sat with his
disciples.
006:004 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
006:005 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?
006:006 And this he said to prove him: for he himself
knew what he
would do.
006:007 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of
bread is not
sufficient for them,
that every one of them may take a little.
006:008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother, saith
unto him,
006:009 There is a lad here, which hath five barley
loaves, and two
small fishes: but
what are they among so many?
006:010 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.
006:011 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.
006:012 When they were filled, he said unto his
disciples, Gather up
the fragments
that remain, that nothing be lost.
006:013 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.
006:014 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.
006:015 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.
006:016 And when even was now come, his disciples went
down unto the
sea,
006:017 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea
toward
Capernaum. And it was now
dark, and Jesus was not come to
them.
006:018 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
006:019 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.
006:020 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
006:021 Then they willingly received him into the ship:
and
immediately the ship was at
the land whither they went.
006:022 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;
006:023 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias
nigh unto the
place where they did
eat bread, after that the Lord had
given
thanks:)
006:024 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not
there,
neither his disciples, they
also took shipping, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
006:025 And when they had found him on the other side of
the sea, they
said unto him,
Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
006:026 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.
006:027 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.
006:028 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that
we might work
the works of
God?
006:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the
work of God,
that ye believe on
him whom he hath sent.
006:030 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest
thou then,
that we may see, and
believe thee? what dost thou work?
006:031 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is
written, He
gave them bread from
heaven to eat.
006:032 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.
006:033 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from
heaven, and
giveth life unto the
world.
006:034 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
006:035 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.
006:036 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me,
and believe
not.
006:037 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that
cometh to me I will
in no wise cast out.
006:038 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the
will of him that
sent me.
006:039 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.
006:040 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.
006:041 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I
am the bread
which came down from
heaven.
006:042 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?
006:043 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them,
Murmur not among
yourselves.
006:044 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.
006:045 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.
006:046 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he
which is of
God, he hath seen the
Father.
006:047 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth
on me hath
everlasting life.
006:048 I am that bread of life.
006:049 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
006:050 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven,
that a man
may eat thereof, and
not die.
006:051 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.
006:052 The Jews therefore strove among themselves,
saying, How can
this man give us
his flesh to eat?
006:053 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.
006:054 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
hath eternal
life; and I will
raise him up at the last day.
006:055 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
006:056 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
dwelleth in
me, and I in him.
006:057 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by
the Father:
so he that eateth me,
even he shall live by me.
006:058 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.
006:059 These things said he in the synagogue, as he
taught in
Capernaum.
006:060 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had
heard this,
said, This is an hard
saying; who can hear it?
006:061 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples
murmured at it,
he said unto them,
Doth this offend you?
006:062 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where he was
before?
006:063 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing:
the words that
I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are
life.
006:064 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.
006:065 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no
man can come
unto me, except it
were given unto him of my Father.
006:066 From that time many of his disciples went back,
and walked no
more with him.
006:067 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
006:068 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom
shall we go? thou
hast the words
of eternal life.
006:069 And we believe and are sure that thou art that
Christ, the Son
of the living
God.
006:070 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you
twelve, and one of
you is a
devil?
006:071 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for
he it was
that should betray him,
being one of the twelve.
007:001 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for
he would not
walk in Jewry,
because the Jews sought to kill him.
007:002 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
007:003 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart
hence, and go
into Judaea, that
thy disciples also may see the works
that
thou doest.
007:004 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.
007:005 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
007:006 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet
come: but your
time is alway
ready.
007:007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth,
because I testify
of it, that the
works thereof are evil.
007:008 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto
this feast: for
my time is not yet
full come.
007:009 When he had said these words unto them, he abode
still in
Galilee.
007:010 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he
also up unto
the feast, not
openly, but as it were in secret.
007:011 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
007:012 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.
007:013 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
007:014 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up
into the
temple, and taught.
007:015 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this
man letters,
having never
learned?
007:016 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not
mine, but
his that sent me.
007:017 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine,
whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself.
007:018 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.
007:019 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of
you keepeth
the law? Why go ye
about to kill me?
007:020 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil:
who goeth
about to kill thee?
007:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done
one work, and
ye all marvel.
007:022 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.
007:023 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?
007:024 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge
righteous
judgment.
007:025 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this
he, whom they
seek to kill?
007:026 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing
unto him. Do
the rulers know
indeed that this is the very Christ?
007:027 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when
Christ cometh,
no man knoweth
whence he is.
007:028 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.
007:029 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
007:030 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid
hands on him,
because his hour was
not yet come.
007:031 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?
007:032 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such
things
concerning him; and the
Pharisees and the chief priests
sent
officers to take him.
007:033 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am
I with you,
and then I go unto him
that sent me.
007:034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and
where I am,
thither ye cannot
come.
007:035 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?
007:036 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?
007:037 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.
007:038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath
said, out of
his belly shall flow
rivers of living water.
007:039 (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.)
007:040 Many of the people therefore, when they heard
this saying,
said, Of a truth this
is the Prophet.
007:041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said,
Shall Christ
come out of
Galilee?
007:042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh
of the seed of
David, and out of
the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
007:043 So there was a division among the people because of him.
007:044 And some of them would have taken him; but no man
laid hands
on him.
007:045 Then came the officers to the chief priests and
Pharisees; and
they said unto
them, Why have ye not brought him?
007:046 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
007:047 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
007:048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
007:049 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
007:050 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus
by night,
being one of them,)
007:051 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him,
and know what
he doeth?
007:052 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of
Galilee?
Search, and look: for out
of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
007:053 And every man went unto his own house.
008:001 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
008:002 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.
008:003 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a
woman taken
in adultery; and when
they had set her in the midst,
008:004 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken
in adultery,
in the very act.
008:005 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such
should be stoned:
but what sayest
thou?
008:006 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.
008:007 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.
008:008 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
008:009 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.
008:010 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?
008:011 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and
sin no more.
008:012 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.
008:013 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou
bearest record of
thyself; thy
record is not true.
008:014 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.
008:015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
008:016 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am
not alone,
but I and the Father
that sent me.
008:017 It is also written in your law, that the
testimony of two men
is true.
008:018 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the
Father that sent
me beareth
witness of me.
008:019 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.
008:020 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.
008:021 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.
008:022 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because
he saith,
Whither I go, ye cannot
come.
008:023 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am
from above:
ye are of this world;
I am not of this world.
008:024 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.
008:025 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus
saith unto
them, Even the same
that I said unto you from the beginning.
008:026 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.
008:027 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
008:028 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.
008:029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath
not left me
alone; for I do always
those things that please him.
008:030 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
008:031 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on
him, If ye
continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed;
008:032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you
free.
008:033 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were
never in
bondage to any man: how
sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
008:034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Whosoever
committeth sin is
the servant of sin.
008:035 And the servant abideth not in the house for
ever: but the Son
abideth
ever.
008:036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye
shall be free
indeed.
008:037 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to
kill me,
because my word hath no
place in you.
008:038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father:
and ye do that
which ye have seen
with your father.
008:039 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.
008:040 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.
008:041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to
him, We be
not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God.
008:042 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.
008:043 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because
ye cannot
hear my word.
008:044 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.
008:045 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
008:046 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say
the truth, why
do ye not believe
me?
008:047 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye
therefore hear them
not, because
ye are not of God.
008:048 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we
not well
that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?
008:049 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour
my Father,
and ye do dishonour
me.
008:050 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that
seeketh and
judgeth.
008:051 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my
saying, he
shall never see
death.
008:052 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.
008:053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which
is dead? and
the prophets are
dead: whom makest thou thyself?
008:054 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:
008:055 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.
008:056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and
he saw it, and
was glad.
008:057 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet
fifty years old,
and hast thou
seen Abraham?
008:058 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Before
Abraham was, I am.
008:059 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.
009:001 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was
blind from his
birth.
009:002 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who
did sin, this
man, or his parents,
that he was born blind?
009:003 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor
his parents:
but that the works of
God should be made manifest in him.
009:004 I must work the works of him that sent me, while
it is day:
the night cometh, when
no man can work.
009:005 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
009:006 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,
009:007 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.
009:008 The neighbours therefore, and they which before
had seen him
that he was blind,
said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
009:009 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like
him: but he
said, I am he.
009:010 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
009:011 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.
009:012 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
009:013 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
009:014 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the
clay, and
opened his eyes.
009:015 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.
009:016 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.
009:017 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest
thou of him,
that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
009:018 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.
009:019 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son,
who ye say was
born blind? how
then doth he now see?
009:020 His parents answered them and said, We know that
this is our
son, and that he was born blind:
009:021 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.
009:022 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.
009:023 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
009:024 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.
009:025 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.
009:026 Then said they to him again, What did he to
thee? how opened
he thine
eyes?
009:027 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?
009:028 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his
disciple; but we
are Moses'
disciples.
009:029 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this
fellow, we know
not from whence
he is.
009:030 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.
009:031 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if
any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
009:032 Since the world began was it not heard that any
man opened the
eyes of one that
was born blind.
009:033 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
009:034 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast
altogether born in
sins, and dost
thou teach us? And they cast him out.
009:035 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?
009:036 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I
might believe on
him?
009:037 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen
him, and it is he
that talketh
with thee.
009:038 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
009:039 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.
009:040 And some of the Pharisees which were with him
heard these
words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
009:041 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye
should have no sin:
but now ye say,
We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
010:001 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.
010:002 But he that entereth in by the door is the
shepherd of the
sheep.
010:003 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear
his voice: and
he calleth his
own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
010:004 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he
goeth before them,
and the sheep
follow him: for they know his voice.
010:005 And a stranger will they not follow, but will
flee from him:
for they know
not the voice of strangers.
010:006 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they
understood not
what things they
were which he spake unto them.
010:007 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily,
I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep.
010:008 All that ever came before me are thieves and
robbers: but the
sheep did not
hear them.
010:009 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he
shall be saved,
and shall go in
and out, and find pasture.
010:010 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.
010:011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth
his life for
the sheep.
010:012 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.
010:013 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling,
and careth not
for the
sheep.
010:014 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and
am known of
mine.
010:015 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the
Father: and I lay
down my life for
the sheep.
010:016 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.
010:017 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay
down my life,
that I might take it again.
010:018 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.
010:019 There was a division therefore again among the
Jews for these
sayings.
010:020 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is
mad; why hear
ye him?
010:021 Others said, These are not the words of him that
hath a devil.
Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
010:022 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the
dedication, and it
was winter.
010:023 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
010:024 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.
010:025 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.
010:026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my
sheep, as I said
unto you.
010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
010:028 And I give unto them eternal life; and they
shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
010:029 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than
all; and no man
is able to pluck
them out of my Father's hand.
010:030 I and my Father are one.
010:031 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
010:032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I
shewed you from my
Father; for
which of those works do ye stone me?
010:033 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.
010:034 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your
law, I said, Ye
are gods?
010:035 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of
God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken;
010:036 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?
010:037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
010:038 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.
010:039 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he
escaped out of
their hand,
010:040 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place
where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
010:041 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did
no miracle: but
all things that
John spake of this man were true.
010:042 And many believed on him there.
011:001 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of
Bethany, the
town of Mary and her sister Martha.
011:002 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with
ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
011:003 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying,
Lord, behold, he
whom thou lovest
is sick.
011:004 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.
011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
011:006 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he
abode two
days still in the same place where he was.
011:007 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let
us go into
Judaea again.
011:008 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of
late sought to
stone thee; and
goest thou thither again?
011:009 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.
011:010 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth,
because there is
no light in
him.
011:011 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.
011:012 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
011:013 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they
thought that he had
spoken of taking
of rest in sleep.
011:014 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
011:015 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not
there, to the
intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
011:016 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto
his
fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
011:017 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain
in the grave
four days already.
011:018 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about
fifteen furlongs
off:
011:019 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to
comfort them
concerning their brother.
011:020 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was
coming, went
and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
011:021 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst
been here, my
brother had not died.
011:022 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt
ask of God,
God will give it thee.
011:023 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
011:024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise
again in the
resurrection at the last day.
011:025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and
the life: he
that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
011:026 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die.
Believest thou this?
011:027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that
thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
011:028 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.
011:029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly,
and came unto
him.
011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but
was in that
place where Martha met him.
011:031 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.
011:032 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.
011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the
Jews also
weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled.
011:034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto
him, Lord,
come and see.
011:035 Jesus wept.
011:036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
011:037 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?
011:038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh
to the grave.
It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
011:039 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.
011:040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee,
that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
011:041 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.
011:042 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.
011:043 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a
loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.
011:044 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.
011:045 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and
had seen the
things which Jesus did, believed on him.
011:046 But some of them went their ways to the
Pharisees, and told
them what things
Jesus had done.
011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the
Pharisees a council,
and said, What
do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
011:048 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.
011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high
priest that
same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that
one man should
die for the
people, and that the whole nation perish not.
011:051 And this spake he not of himself: but being high
priest that
year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
011:052 And not for that nation only, but that also he
should gather
together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad.
011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel
together for to put
him to
death.
011:054 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.
011:055 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and
many went out of
the country up
to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.
011:056 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?
011:057 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.
012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where
Lazarus was,
which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served:
but Lazarus
was one of them that sat at the table with him.
012:003 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.
012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son,
which should betray him,
012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred
pence, and
given to the poor?
012:006 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.
012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day
of my burying
hath she kept this.
012:008 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye
have not
always.
012:009 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.
012:010 But the chief priests consulted that they might
put Lazarus
also to death;
012:011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews
went away, and
believed on
Jesus.
012:012 On the next day much people that were come to
the feast, when
they heard that
Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
012:013 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.
012:014 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat
thereon; as it
is written,
012:015 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King
cometh, sitting
on an ass's
colt.
012:016 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.
012:017 The people therefore that was with him when he
called Lazarus
out of his
grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
012:018 For this cause the people also met him, for that
they heard
that he had done this miracle.
012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
Perceive ye how
ye prevail
nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
012:020 And there were certain Greeks among them that
came up to
worship at the feast:
012:021 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of
Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again
Andrew and Philip
tell Jesus.
012:023 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is
come, that the
Son of man
should be glorified.
012:024 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.
012:025 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he
that hateth his
life in this
world shall keep it unto life eternal.
012:026 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.
012:027 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.
012:028 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a
voice from heaven,
saying, I have
both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
012:029 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard
it, said that
it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
012:030 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not
because of me,
but for your
sakes.
012:031 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the
prince of
this world be cast out.
012:032 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will
draw all men
unto me.
012:033 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
012:034 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?
012:035 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.
012:036 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.
012:037 But though he had done so many miracles before
them, yet they
believed not on
him:
012:038 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?
012:039 Therefore they could not believe, because that
Esaias said
again,
012:040 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.
012:041 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory,
and spake of
him.
012:042 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:
012:043 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
012:044 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me,
believeth not
on me, but on him that sent me.
012:045 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
012:046 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on
me should not abide in darkness.
012:047 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.
012:048 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.
012:049 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.
012:050 And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
013:001 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.
013:002 And supper being ended, the devil having now put
into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
013:003 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all
things into his
hands, and that
he was come from God, and went to God;
013:004 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his
garments; and took a
towel, and
girded himself.
013:005 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.
013:006 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith
unto him, Lord,
dost thou wash
my feet?
013:007 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou
knowest not
now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
013:008 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my
feet. Jesus
answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
013:009 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet
only, but also
my hands and my
head.
013:010 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.
013:011 For he knew who should betray him; therefore
said he, Ye are
not all
clean.
013:012 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?
013:013 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
013:014 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; ye
also ought to wash one another's feet.
013:015 For I have given you an example, that ye should
do as I have
done to you.
013:016 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.
013:017 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
013:018 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.
013:019 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is
come to pass,
ye may believe that I am he.
013:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
receiveth whomsoever I
send receiveth
me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me.
013:021 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.
013:022 Then the disciples looked one on another,
doubting of whom he
spake.
013:023 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his
disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
013:024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he
should ask who
it should be of
whom he spake.
013:025 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him,
Lord, who is
it?
013:026 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.
013:027 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then
said Jesus unto
him, That thou
doest, do quickly.
013:028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he
spake this
unto him.
013:029 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.
013:030 He then having received the sop went immediately
out: and it
was night.
013:031 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now
is the Son of
man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
013:032 If God be glorified in him, God shall also
glorify him in
himself, and
shall straightway glorify him.
013:033 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.
013:034 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love
one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
013:035 By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye
have love one to
another.
013:036 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.
013:037 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow
thee now? I
will lay down my life for thy sake.
013:038 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.
014:001 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in
God, believe
also in me.
014:002 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.
014:003 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.
014:004 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
014:005 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither
thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
014:006 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
014:007 If ye had known me, ye should have known my
Father also: and
from henceforth
ye know him, and have seen him.
014:008 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father,
and it
sufficeth us.
014:009 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?
014:010 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.
014:011 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me: or
else believe me
for the very works' sake.
014:012 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.
014:013 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that
will I do, that
the Father may
be glorified in the Son.
014:014 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
014:015 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
014:016 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give
you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
014:017 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.
014:018 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
014:019 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no
more; but ye see
me: because I
live, ye shall live also.
014:020 At that day ye shall know that I am in my
Father, and ye in
me, and I in
you.
014:021 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.
014:022 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is
it that thou
wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
014:023 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.
014:024 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.
014:025 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet
present with
you.
014:026 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.
014:027 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.
014:028 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.
014:029 And now I have told you before it come to pass,
that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe.
014:030 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the
prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
014:031 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.
015:001 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
015:002 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.
015:003 Now ye are clean through the word which I have
spoken unto
you.
015:004 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.
015:005 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.
015:006 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.
015:007 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye
shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
015:008 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; so
shall ye be my disciples.
015:009 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved
you: continue ye
in my love.
015:010 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.
015:011 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy
might remain
in you, and that your joy might be full.
015:012 This is my commandment, That ye love one
another, as I have
loved you.
015:013 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his
life for his friends.
015:014 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
015:015 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.
015:016 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.
015:017 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
015:018 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me
before it
hated you.
015:019 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.
015:020 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.
015:021 But all these things will they do unto you for
my name's sake,
because they
know not him that sent me.
015:022 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had
not had sin:
but now they have no cloak for their sin.
015:023 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
015:024 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.
015:025 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be
fulfilled that
is written in
their law, They hated me without a cause.
015:026 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:
015:027 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have
been with me
from the beginning.
016:001 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye
should not be
offended.
016:002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea,
the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
God service.
016:003 And these things will they do unto you, because
they have not
known the Father, nor me.
016:004 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.
016:005 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and
none of you
asketh me, Whither goest thou?
016:006 But because I have said these things unto you,
sorrow hath
filled your heart.
016:007 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.
016:008 And when he is come, he will reprove the world
of sin, and of
righteousness,
and of judgment:
016:009 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
016:010 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and
ye see me no
more;
016:011 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
016:012 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye
cannot bear
them now.
016:013 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.
016:014 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall
shew it unto
you.
016:015 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I,
that he shall
take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
016:016 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.
016:017 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?
016:018 They said therefore, What is this that he saith,
A little
while? we cannot tell what he saith.
016:019 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask
him, and said
unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A
little while,
and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
while, and ye
shall see me?
016:020 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.
016:021 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.
016:022 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.
016:023 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.
016:024 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask,
and ye shall
receive, that your joy may be full.
016:025 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.
016:026 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say
not unto you,
that I will pray the Father for you:
016:027 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye
have loved me,
and have
believed that I came out from God.
016:028 I came forth from the Father, and am come into
the world:
again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
016:029 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest
thou plainly,
and speakest no proverb.
016:030 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.
016:031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
016:032 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.
016:033 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.
017:001 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:
017:002 As thou hast given him power over all flesh,
that he should
give eternal
life to as many as thou hast given him.
017:003 And this is life eternal, that they might know
thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
017:004 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have
finished the work
which thou
gavest me to do.
017:005 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine
own self with
the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
017:006 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.
017:007 Now they have known that all things whatsoever
thou hast given
me are of
thee.
017:008 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.
017:009 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but
for them which
thou hast given
me; for they are thine.
017:010 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and
I am glorified
in them.
017:011 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.
017:012 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.
017:013 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak
in the world,
that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
017:014 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.
017:015 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of
the world, but
that thou
shouldest keep them from the evil.
017:016 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
017:017 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
017:018 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so
have I also sent
them into the
world.
017:019 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they
also might be
sanctified through the truth.
017:020 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them
also which shall
believe on me
through their word;
017:021 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.
017:022 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given
them; that
they may be one, even as we are one:
017:023 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.
017:024 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.
017:025 O righteous Father, the world hath not known
thee: but I have
known thee, and
these have known that thou hast sent me.
017:026 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.
018:001 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.
018:002 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the
place: for Jesus
ofttimes
resorted thither with his disciples.
018:003 Judas then, having received a band of men and
officers from
the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns
and torches and
weapons.
018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should
come upon him,
went forth, and
said unto them, Whom seek ye?
018:005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus
saith unto them, I
am he. And Judas
also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
018:006 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he,
they went
backward, and fell to the ground.
018:007 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they
said, Jesus
of Nazareth.
018:008 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if
therefore ye
seek me, let these go their way:
018:009 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Of them
which thou
gavest me have I lost none.
018:010 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.
018:011 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?
018:012 Then the band and the captain and officers of
the Jews took
Jesus, and bound him,
018:013 And led him away to Annas first; for he was
father in law to
Caiaphas, which
was the high priest that same year.
018:014 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the
Jews, that it
was expedient that one man should die for the people.
018:015 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.
018:016 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.
018:017 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.
018:018 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.
018:019 The high priest then asked Jesus of his
disciples, and of his
doctrine.
018:020 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.
018:021 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me,
what I have said
unto them:
behold, they know what I said.
018:022 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?
018:023 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear
witness of the
evil: but if
well, why smitest thou me?
018:024 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
018:025 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.
018:026 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?
018:027 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
018:028 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.
018:029 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What
accusation
bring ye against this man?
018:030 They answered and said unto him, If he were not
a malefactor,
we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
018:031 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:
018:032 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled,
which he spake,
signifying what
death he should die.
018:033 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall
again, and called
Jesus, and said
unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
018:034 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of
thyself, or did
others tell it
thee of me?
018:035 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation
and the chief
priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
018:036 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.
018:037 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.
018:038 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.
018:039 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?
018:040 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man,
but Barabbas.
Now Barabbas was a robber.
019:001 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
019:002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and
put it on his
head, and they put on him a purple robe,
019:003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote
him with
their hands.
019:004 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.
019:005 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of
thorns, and the
purple robe. And
Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
019:006 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.
019:007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our
law he ought
to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
019:008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was
the more
afraid;
019:009 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith
unto Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
019:010 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?
019:011 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.
019:012 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.
019:013 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.
019:014 And it was the preparation of the passover, and
about the
sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
019:015 But they cried out, Away with him, away with
him, crucify him.
Pilate saith
unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
priests
answered, We have no king but Caesar.
019:016 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be
crucified. And
they took Jesus,
and led him away.
019:017 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place
called the
place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
019:018 Where they crucified him, and two other with
him, on either
side one, and
Jesus in the midst.
019:019 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the
cross. And the
writing was
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
019:020 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.
019:021 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.
019:022 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
019:023 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.
019:024 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.
019:025 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his
mother, and his
mother's sister,
Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
Magdalene.
019:026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the
disciple standing
by, whom he
loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy
son!
019:027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy
mother! And from
that hour that
disciple took her unto his own home.
019:028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were
now
accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
thirst.
019:029 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.
019:030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar,
he said, It is
finished: and he
bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
019:031 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.
019:032 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of
the first, and
of the other
which was crucified with him.
019:033 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was
dead already,
they brake not his legs:
019:034 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his
side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.
019:035 And he that saw it bare record, and his record
is true: and he
knoweth that he
saith true, that ye might believe.
019:036 For these things were done, that the scripture
should be
fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
019:037 And again another scripture saith, They shall
look on him whom
they
pierced.
019:038 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.
019:039 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.
019:040 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.
019:041 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.
019:042 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the
Jews'
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
020:001 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.
020:002 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.
020:003 Peter therefore went forth, and that other
disciple, and came
to the
sepulchre.
020:004 So they ran both together: and the other
disciple did outrun
Peter, and came
first to the sepulchre.
020:005 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the
linen clothes
lying; yet went he not in.
020:006 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went
into the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
020:007 And the napkin, that was about his head, not
lying with the
linen clothes,
but wrapped together in a place by itself.
020:008 Then went in also that other disciple, which
came first to the
sepulchre, and
he saw, and believed.
020:009 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he
must rise
again from the dead.
020:010 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
020:011 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping:
and as she
wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
020:012 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.
020:013 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.
020:014 And when she had thus said, she turned herself
back, and saw
Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
020:015 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.
020:016 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself,
and saith unto
him, Rabboni;
which is to say, Master.
020:017 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.
020:018 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that
she had seen
the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
020:019 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.
020:020 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.
020:021 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto
you: as my Father
hath sent me,
even so send I you.
020:022 And when he had said this, he breathed on them,
and saith unto
them, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost:
020:023 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted
unto them; and
whose soever
sins ye retain, they are retained.
020:024 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus,
was not with
them when Jesus came.
020:025 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.
020:026 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.
020:027 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.
020:028 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
020:029 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast
seen me, thou
hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet
have
believed.
020:030 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the
presence of his
disciples, which
are not written in this book:
020:031 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.
021:001 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to
the disciples
at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
021:002 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.
021:003 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.
021:004 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood
on the shore:
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
021:005 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye
any meat? They
answered him,
No.
021:006 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.
021:007 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.
021:008 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.
021:009 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw
a fire of
coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
021:010 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which
ye have now
caught.
021:011 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land
full of great
fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were
so many, yet was
not the net broken.
021:012 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none
of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
021:013 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth
them, and fish
likewise.
021:014 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed
himself to his
disciples, after
that he was risen from the dead.
021:015 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.
021:016 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.
021:017 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.
021:018 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast
young, thou
girdest 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.
021:019 This spake he, signifying by what death he
should glorify God.
And when he had
spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
021:020 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?
021:021 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what
shall this man
do?
021:022 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry
till I come,
what is that to thee? follow thou me.
021:023 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?
021:024 This is the disciple which testifieth of these
things, and
wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
021:025 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.
