1 {1:1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. {1:2} The same was in
the beginning with God. {1:3} All things were made by
him; and without him was not any thing made that was
made. {1:4} In him was life; and the life was the light of
men. {1:5} And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
{1:6} There was a man sent from God, whose name [was]
John. {1:7} The same came for a witness, to bear witness of
the Light, that all [men] through him might believe. {1:8}
He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear witness of that
Light. {1:9} [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world. {1:10} He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew
him not. {1:11} He came unto his own, and his own
received him not. {1:12} But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to
them that believe on his name: {1:13} Which were born, not
of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God. {1:14} And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
{1:15} John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This
was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is
preferred before me: for he was before me. {1:16} And of
his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. {1:17}
For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ. {1:18} No man hath seen God at any time;
the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father,
he hath declared [him.]
{1:19} And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent
priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art
thou? {1:20} And he confessed, and denied not; but
confessed, I am not the Christ. {1:21} And they asked him,
What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou
that prophet? And he answered, No. {1:22} Then said they
unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to
them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? {1:23} He
said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
{1:24} And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
{1:25} And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias,
neither that prophet? {1:26} John answered them, saying, I
baptize with water: but there standeth one among you,
whom ye know not; {1:27} He it is, who coming after me is
preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy
to unloose. {1:28} These things were done in Bethabara
beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
{1:29} The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him,
and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world. {1:30} This is he of whom I said, After me
cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was
before me. {1:31} And I knew him not: but that he should
be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing
with water. {1:32} And John bare record, saying, I saw the
Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode
upon him. {1:33} And I knew him not: but he that sent me
to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom
thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him,
the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. {1:34}
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
{1:35} Again the next day after John stood, and two of his
disciples; {1:36} And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God! {1:37} And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. {1:38}
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is
to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
{1:39} He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and
saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was
about the tenth hour. {1:40} One of the two which heard
John [speak,] and followed him, was Andrew, Simon
Peter’s brother. {1:41} He first findeth his own brother
Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias,
which is, being interpreted, the Christ. {1:42} And he
brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said,
Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
{1:43} The day following Jesus would go forth into
Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
{1:44} Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew
and Peter. {1:45} Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto
him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and
the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
{1:46} And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good
thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come
and see. {1:47} Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and
saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no
guile! {1:48} Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest
thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that
Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw
thee. {1:49} Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi,
thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. {1:50}
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee,
I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see
greater things than these. {1:51} And he saith unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of man.
2 {2:1} And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: {2:2} And both
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. {2:3}
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto
him, They have no wine. {2:4} Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet
come. {2:5} His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever
he saith unto you, do [it.] {2:6} And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the
Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. {2:7} Jesus
saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim. {2:8} And he saith unto them,
Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And
they bare [it.] {2:9} When the ruler of the feast had tasted
the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was:
(but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor
of the feast called the bridegroom, {2:10} And saith unto
him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine;
and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse:
[but] thou hast kept the good wine until now. {2:11} This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
{2:12} After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his
mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they
continued there not many days.
{2:13} And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus
went up to Jerusalem, {2:14} And found in the temple those
that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting: {2:15} And when he had made a scourge of
small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the
sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money,
and overthrew the tables; {2:16} And said unto them that
sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s
house an house of merchandise. {2:17} And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up.
{2:18} Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What
sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these
things? {2:19} Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. {2:20} Then
said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? {2:21} But
he spake of the temple of his body. {2:22} When therefore
he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that
he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture,
and the word which Jesus had said.
{2:23} Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in
the feast [day,] many believed in his name, when they saw
the miracles which he did. {2:24} But Jesus did not commit
himself unto them, because he knew all [men,] {2:25} And
needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what
was in man.
3 {3:1} There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: {3:2} The same came to
Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou
art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these
miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. {3:3}
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God. {3:4} Nicodemus saith unto him, How can
a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time
into his mother’s womb, and be born? {3:5} Jesus
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. {3:6} That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {3:7}
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
{3:8} The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest
the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
{3:9} Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can
these things be? {3:10} Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
{3:11} Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do
know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our
witness. {3:12} If I have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly
things? {3:13} And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but
he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man
which is in heaven.
{3:14} And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
{3:15} That whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
{3:16} For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. {3:17} For God sent not
his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the
world through him might be saved.
{3:18} He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he
that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
{3:19} And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. {3:20} For every one that
doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest
his deeds should be reproved. {3:21} But he that doeth truth
cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.
{3:22} After these things came Jesus and his disciples
into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and
baptized.
{3:23} And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to
Salim, because there was much water there: and they came,
and were baptized. {3:24} For John was not yet cast into
prison.
{3:25} Then there arose a question between [some] of
John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying. {3:26} And
they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was
with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,
behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.
{3:27} John answered and said, A man can receive nothing,
except it be given him from heaven. {3:28} Ye yourselves
bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I
am sent before him. {3:29} He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which
standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
{3:30} He must increase, but I [must] decrease. {3:31} He
that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from
heaven is above all. {3:32} And what he hath seen and
heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
{3:33} He that hath received his testimony hath set to his
seal that God is true. {3:34} For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by
measure [unto him.] {3:35} The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into his hand. {3:36} He that believeth
on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
him.
4 {4:1} When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees
had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than
John, {4:2} (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his
disciples,) {4:3} He left Judaea, and departed again into
Galilee. {4:4} And he must needs go through Samaria.
{4:5} Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called
Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his
son Joseph. {4:6} Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus
therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the
well: [and] it was about the sixth hour. {4:7} There cometh
a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her,
Give me to drink. {4:8} (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.) {4:9} Then saith the woman of
Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest
drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews
have no dealings with the Samaritans. {4:10} Jesus
answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God,
and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water. {4:11} The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou
hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from
whence then hast thou that living water? {4:12} Art thou
greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and
drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
{4:13} Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever
drinketh of this water shall thirst again: {4:14} But
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall
never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
{4:15} The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water,
that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. {4:16} Jesus
saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
{4:17} The woman answered and said, I have no husband.
Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
{4:18} For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou
now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. {4:19}
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet. {4:20} Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;
and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought
to worship. {4:21} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. {4:22}
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews. {4:23} But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him. {4:24} God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. {4:25} The
woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which
is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
{4:26} Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he.]
{4:27} And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled
that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What
seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? {4:28} The
woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the
city, and saith to the men, {4:29} Come, see a man, which
told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
{4:30} Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
{4:31} In the mean while his disciples prayed him,
saying, Master, eat. {4:32} But he said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not of. {4:33} Therefore said the
disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought]
to eat? {4:34} Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the
will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. {4:35} Say
not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look
on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. {4:36}
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit
unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that
reapeth may rejoice together. {4:37} And herein is that
saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. {4:38} I sent
you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men
laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
{4:39} And many of the Samaritans of that city believed
on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told
me all that ever I did. {4:40} So when the Samaritans were
come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with
them: and he abode there two days. {4:41} And many more
believed because of his own word; {4:42} And said unto the
woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we
have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the
Christ, the Saviour of the world.
{4:43} Now after two days he departed thence, and went
into Galilee. {4:44} For Jesus himself testified, that a
prophet hath no honour in his own country. {4:45} Then
when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received
him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at
the feast: for they also went unto the feast. {4:46} So Jesus
came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water
wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was
sick at Capernaum. {4:47} When he heard that Jesus was
come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and
besought him that he would come down, and heal his son:
for he was at the point of death. {4:48} Then said Jesus unto
him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
{4:49} The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere
my child die. {4:50} Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy
son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way. {4:51} And as he
was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him,]
saying, Thy son liveth. {4:52} Then enquired he of them the
hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. {4:53} So
the father knew that [it was] at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed,
and his whole house. {4:54} This [is] again the second
miracle [that] Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea
into Galilee.
5 {5:1} After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus
went up to Jerusalem. {5:2} Now there is at Jerusalem by
the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda, having five porches. {5:3} In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water. {5:4} For an angel
went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled
the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the
water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he
had. {5:5} And a certain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and eight years. {5:6} When Jesus saw him
lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that
case,] he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? {5:7}
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when
the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am
coming, another steppeth down before me. {5:8} Jesus saith
unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. {5:9} And
immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
{5:10} The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It
is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy]
bed. {5:11} He answered them, He that made me whole, the
same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. {5:12} Then
asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
Take up thy bed, and walk? {5:13} And he that was healed
wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a
multitude being in [that] place. {5:14} Afterward Jesus
findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou
art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto
thee. {5:15} The man departed, and told the Jews that it was
Jesus, which had made him whole. {5:16} And therefore
did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him,
because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
{5:17} But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh
hitherto, and I work. {5:18} Therefore the Jews sought the
more to kill him, because he not only had broken the
sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making
himself equal with God. {5:19} Then answered Jesus and
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can
do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son
likewise. {5:20} For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth
him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him
greater works than these, that ye may marvel. {5:21} For as
the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them;] even
so the Son quickeneth whom he will. {5:22} For the Father
judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son: {5:23} That all [men] should honour the Son, even as
they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. {5:24}
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life. {5:25} Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of
the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. {5:26} For as
the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son
to have life in himself; {5:27} And hath given him authority
to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
{5:28} Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the
which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, {5:29}
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation. {5:30} I can of mine own self do
nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because
I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which
hath sent me. {5:31} If I bear witness of myself, my witness
is not true.
{5:32} There is another that beareth witness of me; and I
know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
{5:33} Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the
truth. {5:34} But I receive not testimony from man: but
these things I say, that ye might be saved. {5:35} He was a
burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a
season to rejoice in his light.
{5:36} But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for
the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the
same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father
hath sent me. {5:37} And the Father himself, which hath
sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard
his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. {5:38} And ye
have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent,
him ye believe not.
{5:39} Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. {5:40}
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. {5:41}
I receive not honour from men. {5:42} But I know you, that
ye have not the love of God in you. {5:43} I am come in my
Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive. {5:44} How can ye
believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not
the honour that [cometh] from God only? {5:45} Do not
think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that
accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust. {5:46} For
had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he
wrote of me. {5:47} But if ye believe not his writings, how
shall ye believe my words?
6 {6:1} After these things Jesus went over the sea of
Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias. {6:2} And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles
which he did on them that were diseased. {6:3} And Jesus
went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
{6:4} And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
{6:5} When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a
great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence
shall we buy bread, that these may eat? {6:6} And this he
said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
{6:7} Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of
bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may
take a little. {6:8} One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
Peter’s brother, saith unto him, {6:9} There is a lad here,
which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but
what are they among so many? {6:10} And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
{6:11} And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given
thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to
them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much
as they would. {6:12} When they were filled, he said unto
his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that
nothing be lost. {6:13} Therefore they gathered [them]
together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the
five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto
them that had eaten. {6:14} Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that
prophet that should come into the world.
{6:15} When Jesus therefore perceived that they would
come and take him by force, to make him a king, he
departed again into a mountain himself alone. {6:16} And
when even was [now] come, his disciples went down unto
the sea, {6:17} And entered into a ship, and went over the
sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was
not come to them. {6:18} And the sea arose by reason of a
great wind that blew. {6:19} So when they had rowed about
five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on
the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were
afraid. {6:20} But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
{6:21} Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
{6:22} The day following, when the people which stood
on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other
boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were
entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the
boat, but [that] his disciples were gone away alone; {6:23}
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto
the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had
given thanks:) {6:24} When the people therefore saw that
Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took
shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. {6:25}
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea,
they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? {6:26}
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but
because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. {6:27}
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man
shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
{6:28} Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we
might work the works of God? {6:29} Jesus answered and
said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on
him whom he hath sent. {6:30} They said therefore unto
him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and
believe thee? what dost thou work? {6:31} Our fathers did
eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread
from heaven to eat. {6:32} Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that
bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread
from heaven. {6:33} For the bread of God is he which
cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
{6:34} Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us
this bread. {6:35} And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread
of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst. {6:36} But I said unto
you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. {6:37} All
that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. {6:38} For I came
down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of
him that sent me. {6:39} And this is the Father’s will which
hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should
lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
{6:40} And this is the will of him that sent me, that every
one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
{6:41} The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I
am the bread which came down from heaven. {6:42} And
they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came
down from heaven? {6:43} Jesus therefore answered and
said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. {6:44} No
man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. {6:45} It is
written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me. {6:46} Not that any man hath seen
the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
{6:47} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on
me hath everlasting life. {6:48} I am that bread of life.
{6:49} Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and
are dead. {6:50} This is the bread which cometh down from
heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. {6:51} I am
the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world. {6:52} The Jews therefore strove among themselves,
saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat? {6:53}
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you. {6:54} Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will
raise him up at the last day. {6:55} For my flesh is meat
indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. {6:56} He that eateth
my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in
him. {6:57} As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by
the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
{6:58} This is that bread which came down from heaven:
not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that
eateth of this bread shall live for ever. {6:59} These things
said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
{6:60} Many therefore of his disciples, when they had
heard [this,] said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
{6:61} When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples
murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
{6:62} [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where he was before? {6:63} It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
[they] are spirit, and [they] are life. {6:64} But there are
some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the
beginning who they were that believed not, and who should
betray him. {6:65} And he said, Therefore said I unto you,
that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto
him of my Father.
{6:66} From that [time] many of his disciples went back,
and walked no more with him. {6:67} Then said Jesus unto
the twelve, Will ye also go away? {6:68} Then Simon Peter
answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life. {6:69} And we believe and are sure
that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. {6:70}
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and
one of you is a devil? {6:71} He spake of Judas Iscariot [the
son] of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being
one of the twelve.
7 {7:1} After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he
would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill
him. {7:2} Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
{7:3} His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence,
and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the
works that thou doest. {7:4} For [there is] no man [that]
doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be
known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the
world. {7:5} For neither did his brethren believe in him.
{7:6} Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come:
but your time is alway ready. {7:7} The world cannot hate
you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works
thereof are evil. {7:8} Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up
yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. {7:9}
When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in
Galilee.
{7:10} But when his brethren were gone up, then went he
also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
{7:11} Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said,
Where is he? {7:12} And there was much murmuring
among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a
good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
{7:13} Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the
Jews.
{7:14} Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up
into the temple, and taught. {7:15} And the Jews marvelled,
saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never
learned? {7:16} Jesus answered them, and said, My
doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. {7:17} If any man
will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be
of God, or [whether] I speak of myself. {7:18} He that
speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that
seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him. {7:19} Did not Moses give you
the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye
about to kill me? {7:20} The people answered and said,
Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? {7:21}
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work,
and ye all marvel. {7:22} Moses therefore gave unto you
circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the
fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
{7:23} If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision,
that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at
me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the
sabbath day? {7:24} Judge not according to the appearance,
but judge righteous judgment. {7:25} Then said some of
them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
{7:26} But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing
unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very
Christ? {7:27} Howbeit we know this man whence he is:
but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
{7:28} Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying,
Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not
come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know
not. {7:29} But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath
sent me. {7:30} Then they sought to take him: but no man
laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
{7:31} And many of the people believed on him, and said,
When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these
which this [man] hath done?
{7:32} The Pharisees heard that the people murmured
such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief
priests sent officers to take him. {7:33} Then said Jesus
unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go
unto him that sent me. {7:34} Ye shall seek me, and shall
not find [me:] and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come.
{7:35} Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will
he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the
dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
{7:36} What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye
shall seek me, and shall not find [me:] and where I am,
[thither] ye cannot come? {7:37} In the last day, that great
[day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man
thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. {7:38} He that
believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. {7:39} (But this spake he
of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given;] because that Jesus
was not yet glorified.)
{7:40} Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. {7:41} Others
said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come
out of Galilee? {7:42} Hath not the scripture said, That
Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of
Bethlehem, where David was? {7:43} So there was a
division among the people because of him. {7:44} And
some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands
on him.
{7:45} Then came the officers to the chief priests and
Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not
brought him? {7:46} The officers answered, Never man
spake like this man. {7:47} Then answered them the
Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? {7:48} Have any of the
rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? {7:49} But this
people who knoweth not the law are cursed. {7:50}
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night,
being one of them,) {7:51} Doth our law judge [any] man,
before it hear him, and know what he doeth? {7:52} They
answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee?
Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
{7:53} And every man went unto his own house.
8 {8:1} Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. {8:2} And
early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all
the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught
them. {8:3} And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him
a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the
midst, {8:4} They say unto him, Master, this woman was
taken in adultery, in the very act. {8:5} Now Moses in the
law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what
sayest thou? {8:6} This they said, tempting him, that they
might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and
with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard
them not.] {8:7} So when they continued asking him, he
lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone at her. {8:8} And again
he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. {8:9} And they
which heard [it,] being convicted by [their own] conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the
last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in
the midst. {8:10} When Jesus had lifted up himself, and
saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where
are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
{8:11} She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
{8:12} Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am
the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have the light of life. {8:13} The
Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
thyself; thy record is not true. {8:14} Jesus answered and
said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, [yet] my
record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go;
but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. {8:15}
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. {8:16} And yet if I
judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the
Father that sent me. {8:17} It is also written in your law,
that the testimony of two men is true. {8:18} I am one that
bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth
witness of me. {8:19} Then said they unto him, Where is
thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my
Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my
Father also. {8:20} These words spake Jesus in the treasury,
as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him;
for his hour was not yet come. {8:21} Then said Jesus again
unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die
in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. {8:22} Then
said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
Whither I go, ye cannot come. {8:23} And he said unto
them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this
world; I am not of this world. {8:24} I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I
am [he,] ye shall die in your sins. {8:25} Then said they
unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even
[the same] that I said unto you from the beginning. {8:26} I
have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that
sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which
I have heard of him. {8:27} They understood not that he
spake to them of the Father. {8:28} Then said Jesus unto
them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye
know that I am [he,] and [that] I do nothing of myself; but
as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. {8:29}
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things that please him. {8:30}
As he spake these words, many believed on him. {8:31}
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
{8:32} And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.
{8:33} They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and
were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye
shall be made free? {8:34} Jesus answered them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the
servant of sin. {8:35} And the servant abideth not in the
house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever. {8:36} If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
{8:37} I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to
kill me, because my word hath no place in you. {8:38} I
speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father. {8:39} They answered
and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto
them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the
works of Abraham. {8:40} But now ye seek to kill me, a
man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God:
this did not Abraham. {8:41} Ye do the deeds of your
father. Then said they to him, We be not born of
fornication; we have one Father, [even] God. {8:42} Jesus
said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of
myself, but he sent me. {8:43} Why do ye not understand
my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. {8:44}
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of [your] father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it. {8:45} And because I tell [you] the
truth, ye believe me not. {8:46} Which of you convinceth
me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
{8:47} He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore
hear [them] not, because ye are not of God. {8:48} Then
answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that
thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? {8:49} Jesus
answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye
do dishonour me. {8:50} And I seek not mine own glory:
there is one that seeketh and judgeth. {8:51} Verily, verily,
I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see
death. {8:52} Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know
that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets;
and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never
taste of death. {8:53} Art thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom
makest thou thyself? {8:54} Jesus answered, If I honour
myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth
me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: {8:55} Yet ye
have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I
know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know
him, and keep his saying. {8:56} Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it,] and was glad.
{8:57} Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty
years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? {8:58} Jesus said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am. {8:59} Then took they up stones to cast at him:
but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going
through the midst of them, and so passed by.
And every man went unto his own house.
9 {9:1} And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which
was blind from [his] birth. {9:2} And his disciples asked him,
saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he
was born blind? {9:3} Jesus answered, Neither hath this
man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God
should be made manifest in him. {9:4} I must work the
works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh,
when no man can work. {9:5} As long as I am in the world,
I am the light of the world. {9:6} When he had thus spoken,
he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he
anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, {9:7} And
said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by
interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and
washed, and came seeing.
{9:8} The neighbours therefore, and they which before
had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat
and begged? {9:9} Some said, This is he: others [said,] He
is like him: [but] he said, I am [he.] [9:10} Therefore said
they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? {9:11} He
answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,
and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of
Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received
sight. {9:12} Then said they unto him, Where is he? He
said, I know not.
{9:13} They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime
was blind. {9:14} And it was the sabbath day when Jesus
made the clay, and opened his eyes. {9:15} Then again the
Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He
said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed,
and do see. {9:16} Therefore said some of the Pharisees,
This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath
day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such
miracles? And there was a division among them. {9:17}
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of
him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a
prophet. {9:18} But the Jews did not believe concerning
him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until
they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
{9:19} And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who
ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? {9:20}
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is
our son, and that he was born blind: {9:21} But by what
means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his
eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for
himself. {9:22} These [words] spake his parents, because
they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if
any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put
out of the synagogue. {9:23} Therefore said his parents, He
is of age; ask him. {9:24} Then again called they the man
that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we
know that this man is a sinner. {9:25} He answered and
said, Whether he be a sinner [or no,] I know not: one thing I
know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. {9:26} Then
said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he
thine eyes? {9:27} He answered them, I have told you
already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear [it]
again? will ye also be his disciples? {9:28} Then they
reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are
Moses’ disciples. {9:29} We know that God spake unto
Moses: [as for] this [fellow,] we know not from whence he
is. {9:30} The man answered and said unto them, Why
herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence
he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes. {9:31} Now we
know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
{9:32} Since the world began was it not heard that any man
opened the eyes of one that was born blind. {9:33} If this
man were not of God, he could do nothing. {9:34} They
answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. {9:35}
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had
found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son
of God? {9:36} He answered and said, Who is he, Lord,
that I might believe on him? {9:37} And Jesus said unto
him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with
thee. {9:38} And he said, Lord, I believe. And he
worshipped him.
{9:39} And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this
world, that they which see not might see; and that they
which see might be made blind. {9:40} And [some] of the
Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said
unto him, Are we blind also? {9:41} Jesus said unto them,
If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We
see; therefore your sin remaineth.
10 {10:1} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not
by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other
way, the same is a thief and a robber. {10:2} But he that
entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. {10:3}
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
{10:4} And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth
before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his
voice. {10:5} And a stranger will they not follow, but will
flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
{10:6} This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they
understood not what things they were which he spake unto
them. {10:7} Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. {10:8}
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but
the sheep did not hear them. {10:9} I am the door: by me if
any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out,
and find pasture. {10:10} The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
{10:11} I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth
his life for the sheep. {10:12} But he that is an hireling, and
not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. {10:13} The
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for
the sheep. {10:14} I am the good shepherd, and know my
[sheep,] and am known of mine. {10:15} As the Father
knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my
life for the sheep. {10:16} And other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall
hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one
shepherd. {10:17} Therefore doth my Father love me,
because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
{10:18} No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of
myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to
take it again. This commandment have I received of my
Father.
{10:19} There was a division therefore again among the
Jews for these sayings. {10:20} And many of them said, He
hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? {10:21} Others
said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a
devil open the eyes of the blind?
{10:22} And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the
dedication, and it was winter. {10:23} And Jesus walked in
the temple in Solomon’s porch. {10:24} Then came the
Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost
thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
{10:25} Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed
not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear
witness of me. {10:26} But ye believe not, because ye are
not of my sheep, as I said unto you. {10:27} My sheep hear
my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: {10:28}
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
{10:29} My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than
all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father’s
hand. {10:30} I and [my] Father are one. {10:31} Then the
Jews took up stones again to stone him. {10:32} Jesus
answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from
my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
{10:33} The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work
we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou,
being a man, makest thyself God. {10:34} Jesus answered
them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
{10:35} If he called them gods, unto whom the word of
God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; {10:36} Say
ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into
the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son
of God? {10:37} If I do not the works of my Father, believe
me not. {10:38} But if I do, though ye believe not me,
believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the
Father is in me, and I in him. {10:39} Therefore they sought
again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, {10:40}
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where
John at first baptized; and there he abode. {10:41} And
many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
all things that John spake of this man were true. {10:42}
And many believed on him there.
11 {11:1} Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus,
of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. {11:2}
(It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,
and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was
sick.) {11:3} Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying,
Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. {11:4} When
Jesus heard [that,] he said, This sickness is not unto death,
but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby. {11:5} Now Jesus loved Martha, and her
sister, and Lazarus. {11:6} When he had heard therefore
that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place
where he was. {11:7} Then after that saith he to [his]
disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. {11:8} [His] disciples
say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee;
and goest thou thither again? {11:9} Jesus answered, Are
there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the
day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this
world. {11:10} But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth,
because there is no light in him. {11:11} These things said
he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus
sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
{11:12} Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall
do well. {11:13} Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they
thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
{11:14} Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
{11:15} And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there,
to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto
him. {11:16} Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus,
unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die
with him. {11:17} Then when Jesus came, he found that he
had [lain] in the grave four days already. {11:18} Now
Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
off: {11:19} And many of the Jews came to Martha and
Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. {11:20}
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming,
went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house. {11:21}
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died. {11:22} But I know, that even
now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it]
thee. {11:23} Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise
again. {11:24} Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall
rise again in the resurrection at the last day. {11:25} Jesus
said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
{11:26} And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die. Believest thou this? {11:27} She saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God,
which should come into the world. {11:28} And when she
had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
{11:29} As soon as she heard [that,] she arose quickly, and
came unto him. {11:30} Now Jesus was not yet come into
the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
{11:31} The Jews then which were with her in the house,
and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up
hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto
the grave to weep there. {11:32} Then when Mary was
come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his
feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died. {11:33} When Jesus therefore saw her
weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, {11:34} And
said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
come and see. {11:35} Jesus wept. {11:36} Then said the
Jews, Behold how he loved him! {11:37} And some of
them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the
blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
{11:38} Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to
the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. {11:39}
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh:
for he hath been [dead] four days. {11:40} Jesus saith unto
her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou
shouldest see the glory of God? {11:41} Then they took
away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou hast heard me. {11:42} And I knew that thou
hearest me always: but because of the people which stand
by I said [it,] that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
{11:43} And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud
voice, Lazarus, come forth. {11:44} And he that was dead
came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his
face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them,
Loose him, and let him go. {11:45} Then many of the Jews
which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus
did, believed on him. {11:46} But some of them went their
ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had
done.
{11:47} Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees
a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many
miracles. {11:48} If we let him thus alone, all [men] will
believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away
both our place and nation. {11:49} And one of them,
[named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said
unto them, Ye know nothing at all, {11:50} Nor consider
that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the
people, and that the whole nation perish not. {11:51} And
this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; {11:52}
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad. {11:53} Then from that day forth they took counsel
together for to put him to death. {11:54} Jesus therefore
walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence
unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called
Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
{11:55} And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and
many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the
passover, to purify themselves. {11:56} Then sought they
for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the
temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
{11:57} Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had
given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he
were, he should shew [it,] that they might take him.
12 {12:1} Then Jesus six days before the passover came
to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom
he raised from the dead. {12:2} There they made him a
supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them
that sat at the table with him. {12:3} Then took Mary a
pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed
the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the
house was filled with the odour of the ointment. {12:4}
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s
[son,] which should betray him, {12:5} Why was not this
ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the
poor? {12:6} This he said, not that he cared for the poor;
but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what
was put therein. {12:7} Then said Jesus, Let her alone:
against the day of my burying hath she kept this. {12:8} For
the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always. {12:9} Much people of the Jews therefore knew
that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only,
but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised
from the dead.
{12:10} But the chief priests consulted that they might put
Lazarus also to death; {12:11} Because that by reason of
him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
{12:12} On the next day much people that were come to
the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to
Jerusalem, {12:13} Took branches of palm trees, and went
forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King
of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. {12:14} And
Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is
written, {12:15} Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy
King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. {12:16} These things
understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was
glorified, then remembered they that these things were
written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto
him. {12:17} The people therefore that was with him when
he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the
dead, bare record. {12:18} For this cause the people also
met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
{12:19} The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is
gone after him.
{12:20} And there were certain Greeks among them that
came up to worship at the feast: {12:21} The same came
therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and
desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. {12:22} Philip
cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
tell Jesus.
{12:23} And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is
come, that the Son of man should be glorified. {12:24}
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall
into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit. {12:25} He that loveth his life
shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall
keep it unto life eternal. {12:26} If any man serve me, let
him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant
be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour.
{12:27} Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?
Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I
unto this hour. {12:28} Father, glorify thy name. Then came
there a voice from heaven, [saying,] I have both glorified
[it,] and will glorify [it] again. {12:29} The people
therefore, that stood by, and heard [it,] said that it
thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. {12:30}
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of
me, but for your sakes. {12:31} Now is the judgment of this
world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
{12:32} And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all
[men] unto me. {12:33} This he said, signifying what death
he should die. {12:34} The people answered him, We have
heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how
sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this
Son of man? {12:35} Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little
while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in
darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. {12:36} While ye
have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children
of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did
hide himself from them.
{12:37} But though he had done so many miracles before
them, yet they believed not on him: {12:38} That the saying
of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake,
Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the
arm of the Lord been revealed? {12:39} Therefore they
could not believe, because that Esaias said again, {12:40}
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that
they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with
[their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
{12:41} These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory,
and spake of him.
{12:42} Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many
believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess [him,] lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
{12:43} For they loved the praise of men more than the
praise of God.
{12:44} Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me,
believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. {12:45} And
he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. {12:46} I am come
a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness. {12:47} And if any man hear
John Page 620
my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not
to judge the world, but to save the world. {12:48} He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day. {12:49} For I have not spoken of
myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a
commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
{12:50} And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father
said unto me, so I speak.
13 {13:1} Now before the feast of the passover, when
Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart
out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which
were in the world, he loved them unto the end. {13:2} And
supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart
of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son,] to betray him; {13:3} Jesus
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he was come from God, and went to God; {13:4}
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took
a towel, and girded himself. {13:5} After that he poureth
water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet,
and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.
{13:6} Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto
him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? {13:7} Jesus answered
and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt know hereafter. {13:8} Peter saith unto him,
Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. {13:9} Simon
Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also [my]
hands and [my] head. {13:10} Jesus saith to him, He that is
washed needeth not save to wash [his] feet, but is clean
every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. {13:11} For he
knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not
all clean. {13:12} So after he had washed their feet, and had
taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto
them, Know ye what I have done to you? {13:13} Ye call
me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. {13:14}
If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
also ought to wash one another’s feet. {13:15} For I have
given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to
you. {13:16} Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is
not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than
he that sent him. {13:17} If ye know these things, happy are
ye if ye do them.
{13:18} I speak not of you all: I know whom I have
chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that
eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
{13:19} Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come
to pass, ye may believe that I am [he.] [13:20} Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me. {13:21} When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled
in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, that one of you shall betray me. {13:22} Then the
disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he
spake. {13:23} Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one
of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. {13:24} Simon Peter
therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should
be of whom he spake. {13:25} He then lying on Jesus’
breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? {13:26} Jesus
answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have
dipped [it.] And when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to
Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon. {13:27} And after the
sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That
thou doest, do quickly. {13:28} Now no man at the table
knew for what intent he spake this unto him. {13:29} For
some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have
need of against the feast; or, that he should give something
to the poor. {13:30} He then having received the sop went
immediately out: and it was night.
{13:31} Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said,
Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in
him. {13:32} If God be glorified in him, God shall also
glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
{13:33} Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye
shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come; so now I say to you. {13:34} A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as
I have loved you, that ye also love one another. {13:35} By
this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have
love one to another.
{13:36} Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest
thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not
follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
{13:37} Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee
now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. {13:38} Jesus
answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till
thou hast denied me thrice.
14 {14:1} Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in
God, believe also in me. {14:2} In my Father’s house are many
mansions: if [it were] not so, I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. {14:3} And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. {14:4} And
whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. {14:5}
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou
goest; and how can we know the way? {14:6} Jesus saith
unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me. {14:7} If ye had known
me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. {14:8} Philip
saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
{14:9} Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then,]
Shew us the Father? {14:10} Believest thou not that I am in
the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak
unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth
in me, he doeth the works. {14:11} Believe me that I [am]
in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for
the very works’ sake. {14:12} Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do
also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I
go unto my Father. {14:13} And whatsoever ye shall ask in
my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in
the Son. {14:14} If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will
do [it.] {14:15} If ye love me, keep my commandments. {14:16}
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; {14:17}
[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know
him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. {14:18}
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
{14:19} Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. {14:20} At
that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you. {14:21} He that hath my commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth
me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and
will manifest myself to him. {14:22} Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself
unto us, and not unto the world? {14:23} Jesus answered
and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with him. {14:24} He that loveth
me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear
is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. {14:25} These
things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
{14:26} But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you
all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you. {14:27} Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid. {14:28} Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go
away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would
rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is
greater than I. {14:29} And now I have told you before it
come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might
believe. {14:30} Hereafter I will not talk much with you:
for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
{14:31} But that the world may know that I love the Father;
and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.
Arise, let us go hence.
15 {15:1} I am the true vine, and my Father is the
husbandman. {15:2} Every branch in me that beareth not
fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit,
he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. {15:3} Now
ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto
you. {15:4} Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can
ye, except ye abide in me. {15:5} I am the vine, ye [are] the
branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
{15:6} If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into
the fire, and they are burned. {15:7} If ye abide in me, and
my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you. {15:8} Herein is my Father
glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
disciples. {15:9} As the Father hath loved me, so have I
loved you: continue ye in my love. {15:10} If ye keep my
commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have
kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
{15:11} These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy
might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
{15:12} This is my commandment, That ye love one
another, as I have loved you. {15:13} Greater love hath no
man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
{15:14} Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command
you. {15:15} Henceforth I call you not servants; for the
servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called
you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I
have made known unto you. {15:16} Ye have not chosen
me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should
go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you. {15:17} These things I command you, that
ye love one another. {15:18} If the world hate you, ye know
that [it hated] me before it hated you. {15:19} If ye were of
the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are
not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you. {15:20} Remember the
word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his
lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute
you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
{15:21} But all these things will they do unto you for my
name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
{15:22} If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had
not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
{15:23} He that hateth me hateth my Father also. {15:24} If
I had not done among them the works which none other
man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen
and hated both me and my Father. {15:25} But [this cometh
to pass,] that the word might be fulfilled that is written in
their law, They hated me without a cause. {15:26} But
when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you
from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he shall testify of me: {15:27} And ye also
shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the
beginning.
16 {16:1} These things have I spoken unto you, that ye
should not be offended. {16:2} They shall put you out of
the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever
killeth you will think that he doeth God service. {16:3} And
these things will they do unto you, because they have not
known the Father, nor me. {16:4} But these things have I
told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember
that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you
at the beginning, because I was with you. {16:5} But now I
go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me,
Whither goest thou? {16:6} But because I have said these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. {16:7}
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that
I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. {16:8}
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and
of righteousness, and of judgment: {16:9} Of sin, because
they believe not on me; {16:10} Of righteousness, because I
go to my Father, and ye see me no more; {16:11} Of
judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
{16:12} I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye
cannot bear them now. {16:13} Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
[that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
{16:14} He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew [it] unto you. {16:15} All things that the
Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of
mine, and shall shew [it] unto you. {16:16} A little while,
and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye
shall see me, because I go to the Father. {16:17} Then said
[some] of his disciples among themselves, What is this that
he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go
to the Father? {16:18} They said therefore, What is this that
he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
{16:19} Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask
him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves
of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me? {16:20} Verily,
verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but
the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your
sorrow shall be turned into joy. {16:21} A woman when she
is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as
soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no
more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
{16:22} And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see
you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man
taketh from you. {16:23} And in that day ye shall ask me
nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall
ask the Father in my name, he will give [it] you. {16:24}
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye
shall receive, that your joy may be full. {16:25} These
things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time
cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs,
but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. {16:26} At that
day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I
will pray the Father for you: {16:27} For the Father himself
loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed
that I came out from God. {16:28} I came forth from the
Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the
world, and go to the Father. {16:29} His disciples said unto
him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no
proverb. {16:30} Now are we sure that thou knowest all
things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this
we believe that thou camest forth from God. {16:31} Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe? {16:32} Behold, the
hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered,
every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I
am not alone, because the Father is with me. {16:33} These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world.
17 {17:1} These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes
to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son,
that thy Son also may glorify thee: {17:2} As thou hast
given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal
life to as many as thou hast given him. {17:3} And this is
life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. {17:4} I have
glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which
thou gavest me to do. {17:5} And now, O Father, glorify
thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with
thee before the world was. {17:6} I have manifested thy
name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:
thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have
kept thy word. {17:7} Now they have known that all things
whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. {17:8} For I
have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and
they have received [them,] and have known surely that I
came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst
send me. {17:9} I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
{17:10} And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I
am glorified in them. {17:11} And now I am no more in the
world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast
given me, that they may be one, as we [are.] [17:12} While
I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those
that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
{17:13} And now come I to thee; and these things I speak
in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in
themselves. {17:14} I have given them thy word; and the
world hath hated them, because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world. {17:15} I pray not that thou
shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest
keep them from the evil. {17:16} They are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world. {17:17} Sanctify them
through thy truth: thy word is truth. {17:18} As thou hast
sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into
the world. {17:19} And for their sakes I sanctify myself,
that they also might be sanctified through the truth. {17:20}
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word; {17:21} That they all
may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that
thou hast sent me. {17:22} And the glory which thou gavest
me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are
one: {17:23} I in them, and thou in me, that they may be
made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou
hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
{17:24} Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given
me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world. {17:25} O righteous Father, the
world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and
these have known that thou hast sent me. {17:26} And I
have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it:] that
the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and
I in them.
18 {18:1} When Jesus had spoken these words, he went
forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a
garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. {18:2}
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for
Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. {18:3}
Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers
from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with
lanterns and torches and weapons. {18:4} Jesus therefore,
knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth,
and said unto them, Whom seek ye? {18:5} They answered
him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he.]
And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
{18:6} As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he,]
they went backward, and fell to the ground. {18:7} Then
asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus
of Nazareth. {18:8} Jesus answered, I have told you that I
am [he:] if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
{18:9} That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake,
Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. {18:10}
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the
high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s
name was Malchus. {18:11} Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put
up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath
given me, shall I not drink it? {18:12} Then the band and
the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound
him, {18:13} And led him away to Annas first; for he was
father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that
same year. {18:14} Now Caiaphas was he, which gave
counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man
should die for the people.
{18:15} And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did]
another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high
priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high
priest. {18:16} But Peter stood at the door without. Then
went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high
priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in
Peter. {18:17} Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto
Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He
saith, I am not. {18:18} And the servants and officers stood
there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and
they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and
warmed himself.
{18:19} The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples,
and of his doctrine. {18:20} Jesus answered him, I spake
openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in
the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret
have I said nothing. {18:21} Why askest thou me? ask them
which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they
know what I said. {18:22} And when he had thus spoken,
one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the
palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
{18:23} Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear
witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
{18:24} Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the
high priest. {18:25} And Simon Peter stood and warmed
himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also
[one] of his disciples? He denied [it,] and said, I am not.
{18:26} One of the servants of the high priest, being [his]
kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in
the garden with him? {18:27} Peter then denied again: and
immediately the cock crew.
{18:28} Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall
of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not
into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that
they might eat the passover. {18:29} Pilate then went out
unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this
man? {18:30} They answered and said unto him, If he were
not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto
thee. {18:31} Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and
judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said
unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
{18:32} That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which
he spake, signifying what death he should die. {18:33}
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called
Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
{18:34} Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of
thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? {18:35} Pilate
answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief
priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
{18:36} Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:
if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants
fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is
my kingdom not from hence. {18:37} Pilate therefore said
unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou
sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto
the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
{18:38} Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he
had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith
unto them, I find in him no fault [at all.] [18:39} But ye
have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King
of the Jews? {18:40} Then cried they all again, saying, Not
this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
19 {19:1} Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged
[him.] [19:2} And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,
and put [it] on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
{19:3} And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote
him with their hands. {19:4} Pilate therefore went forth
again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you,
that ye may know that I find no fault in him. {19:5} Then
came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!
{19:6} When the chief priests therefore and officers saw
him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him,] crucify [him.]
Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify [him:] for I
find no fault in him. {19:7} The Jews answered him, We
have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he
made himself the Son of God.
{19:8} When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was
the more afraid; {19:9} And went again into the judgment
hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave
him no answer. {19:10} Then saith Pilate unto him,
Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have
power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
{19:11} Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at
all] against me, except it were given thee from above:
therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
{19:12} And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him:
but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou
art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king
speaketh against Caesar.
{19:13} When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he
brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a
place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gabbatha. {19:14} And it was the preparation of the
passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the
Jews, Behold your King! {19:15} But they cried out, Away
with [him,] away with [him,] crucify him. Pilate saith unto
them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,
We have no king but Caesar. {19:16} Then delivered he
him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took
Jesus, and led [him] away. {19:17} And he bearing his
cross went forth into a place called [the place] of a skull,
which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: {19:18} Where
they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side
one, and Jesus in the midst.
{19:19} And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross.
And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING
OF THE JEWS. {19:20} This title then read many of the
Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to
the city: and it was written in Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and]
Latin. {19:21} Then said the chief priests of the Jews to
Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I
am King of the Jews. {19:22} Pilate answered, What I have
written I have written.
{19:23} Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus,
took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a
part; and also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam,
woven from the top throughout. {19:24} They said
therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots
for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled,
which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for
my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the
soldiers did.
{19:25} Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother,
and his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and
Mary Magdalene. {19:26} When Jesus therefore saw his
mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he
saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! {19:27}
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home.
]{19:28} After this, Jesus knowing that all things were
now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled,
saith, I thirst. {19:29} Now there was set a vessel full of
vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it]
upon hyssop, and put [it] to his mouth. {19:30} When Jesus
therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. {19:31} The
Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the
bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,
(for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that
their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken
away. {19:32} Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of
the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
{19:33} But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was
dead already, they brake not his legs: {19:34} But one of
the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water. {19:35} And he that saw
[it] bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that
he saith true, that ye might believe. {19:36} For these things
were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of
him shall not be broken. {19:37} And again another
scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
{19:38} And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a
disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought
Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate
gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took the body of
Jesus. {19:39} And there came also Nicodemus, which at
the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of
myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound [weight.] [19:40}
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
{19:41} Now in the place where he was crucified there was
a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was
never man yet laid. {19:42} There laid they Jesus therefore
because of the Jews’ preparation [day;] for the sepulchre
was nigh at hand.
20 {20:1} The first [day] of the week cometh Mary
Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre,
and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. {20:2}
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They
have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we
know not where they have laid him. {20:3} Peter therefore
went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre. {20:4} So they ran both together: and the other
disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
{20:5} And he stooping down, [and looking in,] saw the
linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. {20:6} Then cometh
Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie, {20:7} And the napkin, that
was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but
wrapped together in a place by itself. {20:8} Then went in
also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre,
and he saw, and believed. {20:9} For as yet they knew not
the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. {20:10}
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
{20:11} But Mary stood without at the sepulchre
weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, [and looked]
into the sepulchre, {20:12} And seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where
the body of Jesus had lain. {20:13} And they say unto her,
Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because
they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they
have laid him. {20:14} And when she had thus said, she
turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not
that it was Jesus. {20:15} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why
weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to
be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him
away. {20:16} Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned
herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say,
Master. {20:17} Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I
am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren,
and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your
Father; and [to] my God, and your God. {20:18} Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the
Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things unto her.
{20:19} Then the same day at evening, being the first
[day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the
disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus
and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto
you. {20:20} And when he had so said, he shewed unto
them [his] hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord. {20:21} Then said Jesus to them
again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me,
even so send I you. {20:22} And when he had said this, he
breathed on [them,] and saith unto them, Receive ye the
Holy Ghost: {20:23} Whose soever sins ye remit, they are
remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain,
they are retained.
{20:24} But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus,
was not with them when Jesus came. {20:25} The other
disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord.
But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the
print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
{20:26} And after eight days again his disciples were
within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors
being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto
you. {20:27} Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy
finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and
thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
{20:28} And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord
and my God. {20:29} Jesus saith unto him, Thomas,
because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are]
they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
{20:30} And many other signs truly did Jesus in the
presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
{20:31} But these are written, that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye
might have life through his name.
21 {21:1} After these things Jesus shewed himself again to
the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed
he [himself.] [21:2} There were together Simon Peter, and
Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee,
and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
{21:3} Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They
say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and
entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught
nothing. {21:4} But when the morning was now come,
Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it
was Jesus. {21:5} Then Jesus saith unto them, Children,
have ye any meat? They answered him, No. {21:6} And he
said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship,
and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were
not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. {21:7}
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It
is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he girt [his] fisher’s coat [unto him,] (for he was
naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. {21:8} And the
other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far
from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the
net with fishes. {21:9} As soon then as they were come to
land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon,
and bread. {21:10} Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish
which ye have now caught. {21:11} Simon Peter went up,
and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and hundred
and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was
not the net broken. {21:12} Jesus saith unto them, Come
[and] dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art
thou? knowing that it was the Lord. {21:13} Jesus then
cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
likewise. {21:14} This is now the third time that Jesus
shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from
the dead.
{21:15} So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon
Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than
these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I
love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. {21:16} He
saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. {21:17}
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas,
lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him
the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord,
thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus
saith unto him, Feed my sheep. {21:18} Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and
walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old,
thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird
thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not. {21:19}
This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
Follow me. {21:20} Then Peter, turning about, seeth the
disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on
his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
betrayeth thee? {21:21} Peter seeing him saith to Jesus,
Lord, and what [shall] this man [do?] [21:22} Jesus saith
unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to
thee? follow thou me. {21:23} Then went this saying
abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die:
yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will
that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? {21:24} This
is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote
these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
{21:25} And there are also many other things which Jesus
did, 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.
