1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any

thing made that was made.

1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness

comprehended it not.

1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.

1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,

that all [men] through him might believe.

1:8 He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear witness of

that Light.

1:9 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that

cometh into the world.

1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the

world knew him not.

1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to

become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his

name:

1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the

flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we

beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the

Father,) full of grace and truth.

1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of

whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:

for he was before me.

1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for

grace.

1:17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came

by Jesus Christ.

1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,

which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests

and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not

the Christ.

1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he

saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an

answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

1:23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness,

Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou

then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that

prophet?

1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there

standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose

shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where

John was baptizing.

1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,

Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is

preferred before me: for he was before me.

1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to

Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending

from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with

water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the

Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which

baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his

disciples;

1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the

Lamb of God!

1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed

Jesus.

1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto

them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to

say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

1:39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where

he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the

tenth hour.

1:40 One of the two which heard John [speak], and followed him,

was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him,

We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the

Christ.

1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he

said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called

Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and

findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found

him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,

Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come

out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold

an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus

answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee,

when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the

Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee,

I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see

greater things than these.

1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God

ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee;

and the mother of Jesus was there:

2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the

marriage.

2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto

him, They have no wine.

2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?

mine hour is not yet come.

2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto

you, do [it].

2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the

manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three

firkins apiece.

2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And

they filled them up to the brim.

2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the

governor of the feast. And they bare [it].

2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was

made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which

drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the

bridegroom,

2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set

forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which

is worse: [but] thou hast kept the good wine until now.

2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee,

and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on

him.

2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,

and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there

not many days.

2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to

Jerusalem,

2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and

doves, and the changers of money sitting:

2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove

them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and

poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things

hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal

of thine house hath eaten me up.

2:18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest

thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and

in three days I will raise it up.

2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in

building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples

remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed

the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast

[day], many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles

which he did.

2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew

all [men],

2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew

what was in man.

3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler

of the Jews:

3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi,

we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can

do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto

thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of

God.

3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is

old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and

be born?

3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a

man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into

the kingdom of God.

3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is

born of the Spirit is spirit.

3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the

sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither

it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things

be?

3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of

Israel, and knowest not these things?

3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know,

and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how

shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?

3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came

down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.

3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even

so must the Son of man be lifted up:

3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have

eternal life.

3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten

Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but

have everlasting life.

3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the

world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that

believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not

believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the

world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their

deeds were evil.

3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither

cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds

may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the

land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because

there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

3:25 Then there arose a question between [some] of John's

disciples and the Jews about purifying.

3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that

was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,

behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.

3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except

it be given him from heaven.

3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the

Christ, but that I am sent before him.

3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of

the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth

greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy

therefore is fulfilled.

3:30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease.

3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the

earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh

from heaven is above all.

3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no

man receiveth his testimony.

3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal

that God is true.

3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for

God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him].

3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into

his hand.

3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he

that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of

God abideth on him.

4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard

that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

4:3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar,

near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied

with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about

the sixth hour.

4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith

unto her, Give me to drink.

4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy

meat.)

4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that

thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of

Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift

of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink;

thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee

living water.

4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw

with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that

living water?

4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the

well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his

cattle?

4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of

this water shall thirst again:

4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him

shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall

be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I

thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come

hither.

4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said

unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast

is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a

prophet.

4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that

in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh,

when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,

worship the Father.

4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for

salvation is of the Jews.

4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers

shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father

seeketh such to worship him.

4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship

[him] in spirit and in truth.

4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which

is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].

4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he

talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or,

Why talkest thou with her?

4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the

city, and saith to the men,

4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did:

is not this the Christ?

4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master,

eat.

4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not

of.

4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man

brought him [ought] to eat?

4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him

that sent me, and to finish his work.

4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh

harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on

the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit

unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth

may rejoice together.

4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another

reapeth.

4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour:

other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for

the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that

ever I did.

4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought

him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;

4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy

saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this

is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into

Galilee.

4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour

in his own country.

4:45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received

him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the

feast: for they also went unto the feast.

4:46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the

water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was

sick at Capernaum.

4:47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into

Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come

down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders,

ye will not believe.

4:49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child

die.

4:50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the

man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he

went his way.

4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and

told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.

4:52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend.

And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever

left him.

4:53 So the father knew that [it was] at the same hour, in the

which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself

believed, and his whole house.

4:54 This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did, when

he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up

to Jerusalem.

5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool,

which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five

porches.

5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,

halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,

and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the

troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever

disease he had.

5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty

and eight years.

5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long

time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made

whole?

5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the

water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am

coming, another steppeth down before me.

5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,

and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the

sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.

5:11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto

me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

5:12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,

Take up thy bed, and walk?

5:13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had

conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.

5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto

him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse

thing come unto thee.

5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus,

which had made him whole.

5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to

slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I

work.

5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he

not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his

Father, making himself equal with God.

5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I

say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he

seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these

also doeth the Son likewise.

5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things

that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than

these, that ye may marvel.

5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth

[them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all

judgment unto the Son:

5:23 That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour

the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the

Father which hath sent him.

5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,

and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and

shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto

life.

5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now

is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and

they that hear shall live.

5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to

the Son to have life in himself;

5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,

because he is the Son of man.

5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which

all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the

resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the

resurrection of damnation.

5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and

my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the

will of the Father which hath sent me.

5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know

that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

5:33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I

say, that ye might be saved.

5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing

for a season to rejoice in his light.

5:36 But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the

works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works

that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne

witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor

seen his shape.

5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath

sent, him ye believe not.

5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal

life: and they are they which testify of me.

5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

5:41 I receive not honour from men.

5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if

another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another,

and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?

5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is

[one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.

5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for

he wrote of me.

5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my

words?

6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which

is [the sea] of Tiberias.

6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his

miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his

disciples.

6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

6:5 When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great

company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we

buy bread, that these may eat?

6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he

would do.

6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not

sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith

unto him,

6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two

small fishes: but what are they among so many?

6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much

grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five

thousand.

6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he

distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that

were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they

would.

6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather

up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

6:13 Therefore they gathered [them] together, and filled twelve

baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which

remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus

did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come

into the world.

6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and

take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a

mountain himself alone.

6:16 And when even was [now] come, his disciples went down unto

the sea,

6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward

Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty

furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh

unto the ship: and they were afraid.

6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and

immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

6:22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other

side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save

that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus

went not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his

disciples were gone away alone;

6:23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the

place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given

thanks:)

6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,

neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to

Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea,

they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto

you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because

ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat

which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man

shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might

work the works of God?

6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,

that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then,

that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written,

He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth

you the true bread from heaven.

6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven,

and giveth life unto the world.

6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that

cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me

shall never thirst.

6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe

not.

6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him

that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but

the will of him that sent me.

6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of

all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should

raise it up again at the last day.

6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one

which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting

life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the

bread which came down from heaven.

6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose

father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came

down from heaven?

6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not

among yourselves.

6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me

draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught

of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned

of the Father, cometh unto me.

6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of

God, he hath seen the Father.

6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me

hath everlasting life.

6:48 I am that bread of life.

6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man

may eat thereof, and not die.

6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any

man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread

that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of

the world.

6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can

this man give us [his] flesh to eat?

6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood,

ye have no life in you.

6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal

life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in

me, and I in him.

6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the

Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your

fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this

bread shall live for ever.

6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in

Capernaum.

6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard

[this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at

it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

6:62 [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where

he was before?

6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth

nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit,

and [they] are life.

6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew

from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who

should betray him.

6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can

come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and

walked no more with him.

6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?

thou hast the words of eternal life.

6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the

Son of the living God.

6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one

of you is a devil?

6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for he it

was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not

walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

7:2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

7:3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go

into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that

thou doest.

7:4 For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and

he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things,

shew thyself to the world.

7:5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your

time is alway ready.

7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I

testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast;

for my time is not yet full come.

7:9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in

Galilee.

7:10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up

unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is

he?

7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning

him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he

deceiveth the people.

7:13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the

temple, and taught.

7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man

letters, having never learned?

7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but

his that sent me.

7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,

whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.

7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he

that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no

unrighteousness is in him.

7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you

keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth

about to kill thee?

7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work,

and ye all marvel.

7:22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it

is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day

circumcise a man.

7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the

law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because

I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous

judgment.

7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom

they seek to kill?

7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him.

Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ

cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye

both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of

myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him,

because his hour was not yet come.

7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When

Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this

[man] hath done?

7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things

concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent

officers to take him.

7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with

you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.

7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am,

[thither] ye cannot come.

7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go,

that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among

the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

7:36 What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek

me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye

cannot come?

7:37 In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood

and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and

drink.

7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of

his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe

on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given];

because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying,

said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall

Christ come out of Galilee?

7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed

of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid

hands on him.

7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees;

and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

7:46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

7:49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

7:50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night,

being one of them,)

7:51 Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know

what he doeth?

7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee?

Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

7:53 And every man went unto his own house.

8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and

all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken

in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,

in the very act.

8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be

stoned: but what sayest thou?

8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse

him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the

ground, [as though he heard them not].

8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and

said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first

cast a stone at her.

8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

8:9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own]

conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,

[even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman

standing in the midst.

8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the

woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers?

hath no man condemned thee?

8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do

I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of

the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but

shall have the light of life.

8:13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record

of thyself; thy record is not true.

8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of

myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and

whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I

go.

8:15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not

alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two

men is true.

8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that

sent me beareth witness of me.

8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus

answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known

me, ye should have known my Father also.

8:20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in

the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not

yet come.

8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall

seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot

come.

8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,

Whither I go, ye cannot come.

8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from

above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:

for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your

sins.

8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto

them, Even [the same] that I said unto you from the beginning.

8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that

sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I

have heard of him.

8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son

of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do

nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak

these things.

8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me

alone; for I do always those things that please him.

8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye

continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;

8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you

free.

8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in

bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but]

the Son abideth ever.

8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free

indeed.

8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,

because my word hath no place in you.

8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do

that which ye have seen with your father.

8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father.

Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would

do the works of Abraham.

8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the

truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We

be not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.

8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would

love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came

I of myself, but he sent me.

8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye

cannot hear my word.

8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your

father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and

abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When

he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,

and the father of it.

8:45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.

8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth,

why do ye not believe me?

8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear

[them] not, because ye are not of God.

8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well

that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,

and ye do dishonour me.

8:50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh

and judgeth.

8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he

shall never see death.

8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a

devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a

man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead?

and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing:

it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is

your God:

8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should

say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I

know him, and keep his saying.

8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw

[it], and was glad.

8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years

old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Before Abraham was, I am.

8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid

himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of

them, and so passed by.

9:1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from

[his] birth.

9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin,

this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his

parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in

him.

9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:

the night cometh, when no man can work.

9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made

clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man

with the clay,

9:7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is

by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and

washed, and came seeing.

9:8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him

that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9:9 Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but]

he said, I am [he].

9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,

and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of

Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

9:12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and

opened his eyes.

9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received

his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I

washed, and do see.

9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of

God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How

can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a

division among them.

9:17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,

that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had

been blind, and received his sight, until they called the

parents of him that had received his sight.

9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say

was born blind? how then doth he now see?

9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is

our son, and that he was born blind:

9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath

opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall

speak for himself.

9:22 These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the

Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did

confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the

synagogue.

9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said

unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a

sinner.

9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner [or no], I

know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I

see.

9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how

opened he thine eyes?

9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not

hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his

disciples?

9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but

we are Moses' disciples.

9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow],

we know not from whence he is.

9:30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a

marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet]

he hath opened mine eyes.

9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be

a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened

the eyes of one that was born blind.

9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born

in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had

found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of

God?

9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe

on him?

9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is

he that talketh with thee.

9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world,

that they which see not might see; and that they which see

might be made blind.

9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these

words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no

sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the

door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the

same is a thief and a robber.

10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the

sheep.

10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice:

and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before

them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from

him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not

what things they were which he spake unto them.

10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto

you, I am the door of the sheep.

10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but

the sheep did not hear them.

10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be

saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and

to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they

might have [it] more abundantly.

10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life

for the sheep.

10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose

own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the

sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth

the sheep.

10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth

not for the sheep.

10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known

of mine.

10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I

lay down my life for the sheep.

10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them

also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there

shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.

10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my

life, that I might take it again.

10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I

have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

This commandment have I received of my Father.

10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for

these sayings.

10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why

hear ye him?

10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a

devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and

it was winter.

10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How

long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us

plainly.

10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the

works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I

said unto you.

10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow

me:

10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never

perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.

10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and

no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.

10:30 I and [my] Father are one.

10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you

from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone

thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a

man, makest thyself God.

10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I

said, Ye are gods?

10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came,

and the scripture cannot be broken;

10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent

into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son

of God?

10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works:

that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and

I in him.

10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped

out of their hand,

10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where

John at first baptized; and there he abode.

10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle:

but all things that John spake of this man were true.

10:42 And many believed on him there.

11:1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany,

the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

11:2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,

and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was

sick.)

11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold,

he whom thou lovest is sick.

11:4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto

death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be

glorified thereby.

11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two

days still in the same place where he was.

11:7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into

Judaea again.

11:8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late

sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If

any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the

light of this world.

11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because

there is no light in him.

11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them,

Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out

of sleep.

11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do

well.

11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he

had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the

intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his

fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the

grave four days already.

11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen

furlongs off:

11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort

them concerning their brother.

11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming,

went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.

11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been

here, my brother had not died.

11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of

God, God will give [it] thee.

11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in

the resurrection at the last day.

11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:

he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he

live:

11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

Believest thou this?

11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the

Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called

Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and

calleth for thee.

11:29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came

unto him.

11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that

place where Martha met him.

11:31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and

comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and

went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to

weep there.

11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she

fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst

been here, my brother had not died.

11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also

weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was

troubled,

11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him,

Lord, come and see.

11:35 Jesus wept.

11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened

the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should

not have died?

11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the

grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of

him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he

stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.

11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou

wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

11:41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the

dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said,

Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the

people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that

thou hast sent me.

11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,

Lazarus, come forth.

11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with

graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus

saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the

things which Jesus did, believed on him.

11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and

told them what things Jesus had done.

11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a

council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many

miracles.

11:48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him:

and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and

nation.

11:49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest

that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man

should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish

not.

11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest

that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should

gather together in one the children of God that were scattered

abroad.

11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to

put him to death.

11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but

went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city

called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

11:55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out

of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify

themselves.

11:56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as

they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come

to the feast?

11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a

commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should

shew [it], that they might take him.

12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany,

where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the

dead.

12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but

Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very

costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with

her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the

ointment.

12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's

[son], which should betray him,

12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and

given to the poor?

12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because

he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my

burying hath she kept this.

12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not

always.

12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there:

and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see

Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put

Lazarus also to death;

12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away,

and believed on Jesus.

12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast,

when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him,

and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh

in the name of the Lord.

12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as

it is written,

12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh,

sitting on an ass's colt.

12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first:

but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these

things were written of him, and [that] they had done these

things unto him.

12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called

Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare

record.

12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they

heard that he had done this miracle.

12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye

how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to

worship at the feast:

12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida

of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and

Philip tell Jesus.

12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that

the Son of man should be glorified.

12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat

fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die,

it bringeth forth much fruit.

12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth

his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am,

there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will

[my] Father honour.

12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father,

save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this

hour.

12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from

heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify

[it] again.

12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard [it], said

that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of

me, but for your sakes.

12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of

this world be cast out.

12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all

[men] unto me.

12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that

Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man

must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light

with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon

you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he

goeth.

12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be

the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed,

and did hide himself from them.

12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet

they believed not on him:

12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled,

which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom

hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said

again,

12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that

they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with

[their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake

of him.

12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on

him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him],

lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of

God.

12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth

not on me, but on him that sent me.

12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth

on me should not abide in darkness.

12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him

not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one

that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall

judge him in the last day.

12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent

me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I

should speak.

12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:

whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,

so I speak.

13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that

his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto

the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he

loved them unto the end.

13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the

heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him;

13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his

hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and

took a towel, and girded himself.

13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash

the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel

wherewith he was girded.

13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him,

Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest

not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus

answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but

also [my] hands and [my] head.

13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to

wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but

not all.

13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye

are not all clean.

13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his

garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye

what I have done to you?

13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I

am.

13:14 If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet;

ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I

have done to you.

13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater

than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that

sent him.

13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but

that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with

me hath lifted up his heel against me.

13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to

pass, ye may believe that I am [he].

13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth

whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me

receiveth him that sent me.

13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and

testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one

of you shall betray me.

13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom

he spake.

13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his

disciples, whom Jesus loved.

13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask

who it should be of whom he spake.

13:25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who

is it?

13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when

I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave

[it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.

13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus

unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this

unto him.

13:29 For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag,

that Jesus had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have

need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to

the poor.

13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and

it was night.

13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the

Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in

himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye

shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye

cannot come; so now I say to you.

13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one

another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if

ye have love one to another.

13:36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus

answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but

thou shalt follow me afterwards.

13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I

will lay down my life for thy sake.

13:38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my

sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow,

till thou hast denied me thrice.

14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe

also in me.

14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not

[so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,

and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be

also.

14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou

goest; and how can we know the way?

14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the

life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:

and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it

sufficeth us.

14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,

and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me

hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the

Father?

14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father

in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:

but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in

me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me,

the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than

these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,

that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].

14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another

Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,

because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him;

for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye

see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

14:20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye

in me, and I in you.

14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is

that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my

Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that

thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he

will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will

come unto him, and make our abode with him.

14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word

which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present

with you.

14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the

Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and

bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said

unto you.

14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as

the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be

troubled, neither let it be afraid.

14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come

[again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I

said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when

it is come to pass, ye might believe.

14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of

this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as

the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go

hence.

15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:

and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it

may bring forth more fruit.

15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto

you.

15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit

of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except

ye abide in me.

15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in

me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for

without me ye can do nothing.

15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and

is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the

fire, and they are burned.

15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask

what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so

shall ye be my disciples.

15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue

ye in my love.

15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;

even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his

love.

15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might

remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.

15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I

have loved you.

15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down

his life for his friends.

15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant

knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;

for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known

unto you.

15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained

you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your

fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father

in my name, he may give it you.

15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it

hated] you.

15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but

because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of

the world, therefore the world hateth you.

15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not

greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will

also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep

yours also.

15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's

sake, because they know not him that sent me.

15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had

sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other

man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and

hated both me and my Father.

15:25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be

fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a

cause.

15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you

from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth

from the Father, he shall testify of me:

15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with

me from the beginning.

16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be

offended.

16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time

cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God

service.

16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have

not known the Father, nor me.

16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall

come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things

I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you

asketh me, Whither goest thou?

16:6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath

filled your heart.

16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you

that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not

come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and

of righteousness, and of judgment:

16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me

no more;

16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear

them now.

16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will

guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;

but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he

will shew you things to come.

16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and

shall shew [it] unto you.

16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said

I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.

16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a

little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

16:17 Then said [some] of his disciples among themselves, What

is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not

see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and,

Because I go to the Father?

16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little

while? we cannot tell what he saith.

16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and

said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said,

A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little

while, and ye shall see me?

16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and

lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful,

but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her

hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she

remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born

into the world.

16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you

again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh

from you.

16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I

say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he

will give [it] you.

16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye

shall receive, that your joy may be full.

16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the

time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs,

but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto

you, that I will pray the Father for you:

16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved

me, and have believed that I came out from God.

16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:

again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou

plainly, and speakest no proverb.

16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest

not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou

camest forth from God.

16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall

be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone:

and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might

have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of

good cheer; I have overcome the world.

17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven,

and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy

Son also may glorify thee:

17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should

give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the

only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the

work which thou gavest me to do.

17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with

the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest

me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me;

and they have kept thy word.

17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast

given me are of thee.

17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;

and they have received [them], and have known surely that I

came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send

me.

17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them

which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am

glorified in them.

17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the

world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own

name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we

[are].

17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy

name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them

is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be

fulfilled.

17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the

world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,

because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the

world.

17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,

but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also

sent them into the world.

17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also

might be sanctified through the truth.

17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which

shall believe on me through their word;

17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me,

and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world

may believe that thou hast sent me.

17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that

they may be one, even as we are one:

17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect

in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and

hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be

with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou

hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the

world.

17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I

have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare

[it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in

them, and I in them.

18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his

disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the

which he entered, and his disciples.

18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for

Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

18:3 Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers

from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with

lanterns and torches and weapons.

18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon

him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto

them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with

them.

18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went

backward, and fell to the ground.

18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said,

Jesus of Nazareth.

18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if

therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them

which thou gavest me have I lost none.

18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the

high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's

name was Malchus.

18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the

sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not

drink it?

18:12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews

took Jesus, and bound him,

18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law

to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

18:14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that

it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

18:15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another

disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and

went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that

other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake

unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art

not thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am

not.

18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a

fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and

Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of

his doctrine.

18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever

taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews

always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have

said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which

stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying,

Answerest thou the high priest so?

18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of

the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high

priest.

18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said

therefore unto him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples?

He denied [it], and said, I am not.

18:26 One of the servants of the high priest, being [his]

kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in

the garden with him?

18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of

judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into

the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they

might eat the passover.

18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation

bring ye against this man?

18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a

malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him

according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is

not lawful for us to put any man to death:

18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he

spake, signifying what death he should die.

18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and

called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or

did others tell it thee of me?

18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the

chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my

kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that

I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom

not from hence.

18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?

Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I

born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should

bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth

heareth my voice.

18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said

this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I

find in him no fault [at all].

18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one

at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the

King of the Jews?

18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but

Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].

19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on

his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with

their hands.

19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,

Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find

no fault in him.

19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the

purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!

19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they

cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith

unto them, Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault

in him.

19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he

ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more

afraid;

19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto

Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me?

knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have

power to release thee?

19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all]

against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he

that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the

Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not

Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh

against Caesar.

19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus

forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is

called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the

sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him],

crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?

The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.

And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.

19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called

[the place] of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

19:18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on

either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And

the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where

Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in

Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and] Latin.

19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write

not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the

Jews.

19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his

garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and

also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the

top throughout.

19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it,

but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture

might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among

them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things

therefore the soldiers did.

19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his

mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary

Magdalene.

19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple

standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,

behold thy son!

19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from

that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home].

19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now

accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I

thirst.

19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they

filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put

[it] to his mouth.

19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It

is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that

the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,

(for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that

their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken

away.

19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,

and of the other which was crucified with him.

19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead

already, they brake not his legs:

19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and

forthwith came there out blood and water.

19:35 And he that saw [it] bare record, and his record is true:

and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

19:36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be

fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

19:37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him

whom they pierced.

19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of

Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that

he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him]

leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to

Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about

an hundred pound [weight].

19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen

clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a

garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never

man yet laid.

19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'

preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

20:1 The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,

when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone

taken away from the sepulchre.

20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the

other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They

have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not

where they have laid him.

20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and

came to the sepulchre.

20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did

outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

20:5 And he stooping down, [and looking in], saw the linen

clothes lying; yet went he not in.

20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the

sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the

linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to

the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise

again from the dead.

20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as

she wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the sepulchre,

20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the

head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had

lain.

20:13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith

unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not

where they have laid him.

20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and

saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom

seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto

him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast

laid him, and I will take him away.

20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith

unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet

ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto

them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my

God, and your God.

20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had

seen the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things unto her.

20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the

week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were

assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the

midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

20:20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them [his] hands

and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the

Lord.

20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as

[my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and

saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them;

[and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not

with them when Jesus came.

20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen

the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his

hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print

of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not

believe.

20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and

Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and

stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.

20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and

behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it]

into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me,

thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and

[yet] have believed.

20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of

his disciples, which are not written in this book:

20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is

the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have

life through his name.

21:1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the

disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he

[himself].

21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,

and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee,

and two other of his disciples.

21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto

him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a

ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the

shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

21:5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?

They answered him, No.

21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of

the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they

were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter,

It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the

Lord, he girt [his] fisher's coat [unto him], (for he was

naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they

were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)

dragging the net with fishes.

21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of

coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

21:10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now

caught.

21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of

great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there

were so many, yet was not the net broken.

21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] dine. And none of the

disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the

Lord.

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.
