  • The Gospel According To John.

  • [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

  • [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without

  • him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the

  • light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and

  • the darkness comprehended it not. [6] There was a man sent from God, whose name

  • was John. [7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness

  • of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

  • [8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

  • [9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

  • [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

  • [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

  • [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even

  • to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of

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

  • [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory

  • as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

  • [15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that

  • cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

  • [16] And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

  • [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

  • [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of

  • the Father, he hath declared him. [19] And this is the record of John, when

  • the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

  • [20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

  • [21] And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that

  • prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou?

  • that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

  • [23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of

  • the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. [24] And they which were sent were of the

  • Pharisees. [25] And they asked him, and said unto him,

  • Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

  • [26] John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you,

  • whom ye know not; [27] He it is, who coming after me is preferred

  • before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

  • [28] These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

  • [29] The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God,

  • which taketh away the sin of the world. [30] This is he of whom I said, After me cometh

  • a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

  • [31] And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I

  • come baptizing with water. [32] And John bare record, saying, I saw the

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

  • [33] And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto

  • me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which

  • baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. [34] And I saw, and bare record that this

  • is the Son of God. [35] Again the next day after John stood,

  • and two of his disciples; [36] And looking upon Jesus as he walked,

  • he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! [37] And the two disciples heard him speak,

  • and they followed Jesus. [38] Then Jesus turned, and saw them following,

  • and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted,

  • Master,) where dwellest thou? [39] He saith unto them, Come and see. They

  • came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

  • [40] One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's

  • brother. [41] He first findeth his own brother Simon,

  • and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

  • [42] And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon

  • the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

  • [43] The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith

  • unto him, Follow me. [44] Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city

  • of Andrew and Peter. [45] Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto

  • him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of

  • Nazareth, the son of Joseph. [46] And Nathanael said unto him, Can there

  • any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

  • [47] Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed,

  • in whom is no guile! [48] Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest

  • thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou

  • wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. [49] Nathanael answered and saith unto him,

  • Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

  • [50] Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig

  • tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

  • [51] And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven

  • open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

  • John.2 [1] And the third day there was a marriage

  • in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

  • [2] And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

  • [3] And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

  • [4] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

  • [5] His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

  • [6] And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying

  • of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

  • [7] Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the

  • brim. [8] And he saith unto them, Draw out now,

  • and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

  • [9] When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not

  • whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast

  • called the bridegroom, [10] And saith unto him, Every man at the

  • beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse:

  • but thou hast kept the good wine until now. [11] This beginning of miracles did Jesus

  • in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

  • [12] After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and

  • his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

  • [13] And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

  • [14] And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers

  • of money sitting: [15] And when he had made a scourge of small

  • cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out

  • the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; [16] And said unto them that sold doves, Take

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

  • [17] And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath

  • eaten me up. [18] Then answered the Jews and said unto

  • him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

  • [19] Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise

  • it up. [20] Then said the Jews, Forty and six years

  • was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

  • [21] But he spake of the temple of his body. [22] When therefore he was risen from the

  • dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the

  • scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. [23] Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover,

  • in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

  • [24] But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

  • [25] And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

  • John.3 [1] There was a man of the Pharisees, named

  • Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said

  • unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles

  • that thou doest, except God be with him. [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,

  • verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

  • [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second

  • time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say

  • unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom

  • of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh;

  • and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must

  • be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and

  • thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it

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

  • [9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

  • [10] Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these

  • things? [11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak

  • that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

  • [12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I

  • tell you of heavenly things? [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven,

  • but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

  • [14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man

  • be lifted up: [15] That whosoever believeth in him should

  • not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave

  • his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting

  • life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world

  • to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

  • [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,

  • because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

  • [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness

  • rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

  • [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest

  • his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the

  • light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

  • [22] After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there

  • he tarried with them, and baptized. [23] And John also was baptizing in Aenon

  • near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

  • [24] For John was not yet cast into prison. [25] Then there arose a question between some

  • of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. [26] And they came unto John, and said unto

  • him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same

  • baptizeth, and all men come to him. [27] John answered and said, A man can receive

  • nothing, except it be given him from heaven. [28] Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I

  • said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

  • [29] He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth

  • and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore

  • is fulfilled. [30] He must increase, but I must decrease.

  • [31] He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh

  • of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

  • [32] And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

  • [33] He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

  • [34] For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit

  • by measure unto him. [35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given

  • all things into his hand. [36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting

  • life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth

  • on him.

  • John.4 [1] When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees

  • had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

  • [2] (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

  • [3] He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

  • [4] And he must needs go through Samaria. [5] Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which

  • is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

  • [6] Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on

  • the well: and it was about the sixth hour. [7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw

  • water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. [8] (For his disciples were gone away unto

  • the city to buy meat.) [9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him,

  • How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the

  • Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. [10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If

  • thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou

  • wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

  • [11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep:

  • from whence then hast thou that living water? [12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob,

  • which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

  • [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

  • [14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the

  • water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting

  • life. [15] The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me

  • this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

  • [16] Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

  • [17] The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well

  • said, I have no husband: [18] For thou hast had five husbands; and

  • he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

  • [19] The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

  • [20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place

  • where men ought to worship. [21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe

  • me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship

  • the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know

  • what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when

  • the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh

  • such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship

  • him must worship him in spirit and in truth. [25] The woman saith unto him, I know that

  • Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

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

  • [27] And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet

  • no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

  • [28] The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the

  • men, [29] Come, see a man, which told me all things

  • that ever I did: is not this the Christ? [30] Then they went out of the city, and came

  • unto him. [31] In the mean while his disciples prayed

  • him, saying, Master, eat. [32] But he said unto them, I have meat to

  • eat that ye know not of. [33] Therefore said the disciples one to another,

  • Hath any man brought him ought to eat? [34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to

  • do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

  • [35] Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto

  • you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

  • [36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that

  • both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

  • [37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

  • [38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are

  • entered into their labours. [39] And many of the Samaritans of that city

  • believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever

  • I did. [40] So when the Samaritans were come unto

  • him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

  • [41] And many more believed because of his own word;

  • [42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard

  • him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

  • [43] Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

  • [44] For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

  • [45] Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the

  • things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

  • [46] So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was

  • a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

  • [47] When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him,

  • and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point

  • of death. [48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see

  • signs and wonders, ye will not believe. [49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come

  • down ere my child die. [50] Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy

  • son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went

  • his way. [51] And as he was now going down, his servants

  • met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. [52] Then inquired he of them the hour when

  • he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left

  • him. [53] So the father knew that it was at the

  • same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and

  • his whole house. [54] This is again the second miracle that

  • Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

  • John.5 [1] After this there was a feast of the Jews;

  • and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [2] Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep

  • market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

  • [3] In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for

  • the moving of the water. [4] For an angel went down at a certain season

  • into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water

  • stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

  • [5] And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

  • [6] When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case,

  • he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? [7] The impotent man answered him, Sir, I

  • have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming,

  • another steppeth down before me. [8] Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy

  • bed, and walk. [9] And immediately the man was made whole,

  • and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

  • [10] The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not

  • lawful for thee to carry thy bed. [11] He answered them, He that made me whole,

  • the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

  • [12] Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and

  • walk? [13] And he that was healed wist not who it

  • was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

  • [14] Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole:

  • sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

  • [15] The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

  • [16] And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he

  • had done these things on the sabbath day. [17] But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh

  • hitherto, and I work. [18] Therefore the Jews sought the more to

  • kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father,

  • making himself equal with God. [19] Then answered Jesus and said unto them,

  • Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the

  • Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

  • [20] For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he

  • will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

  • [21] For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth

  • whom he will. [22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath

  • committed all judgment unto the Son: [23] That all men should honour the Son, even

  • as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which

  • hath sent him. [24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that

  • heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall

  • not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

  • [25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall

  • hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

  • [26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in

  • himself; [27] And hath given him authority to execute

  • judgment also, because he is the Son of man. [28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming,

  • in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

  • [29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;

  • and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

  • [30] I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;

  • because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

  • [31] If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

  • [32] There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he

  • witnesseth of me is true. [33] Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness

  • unto the truth. [34] But I receive not testimony from man:

  • but these things I say, that ye might be saved. [35] He was a burning and a shining light:

  • and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

  • [36] But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath

  • given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath

  • sent me. [37] And the Father himself, which hath sent

  • me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his

  • shape. [38] And ye have not his word abiding in you:

  • for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. [39] Search the scriptures; for in them ye

  • think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

  • [40] And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

  • [41] I receive not honour from men. [42] But I know you, that ye have not the

  • love of God in you. [43] I am come in my Father's name, and ye

  • receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

  • [44] How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that

  • cometh from God only? [45] Do not think that I will accuse you to

  • the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

  • [46] For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

  • [47] But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

  • John.6 [1] After these things Jesus went over the

  • sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. [2] And a great multitude followed him, because

  • they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

  • [3] And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

  • [4] And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

  • [5] When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith

  • unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

  • [6] And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

  • [7] Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that

  • every one of them may take a little. [8] One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's

  • brother, saith unto him, [9] There is a lad here, which hath five barley

  • loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

  • [10] And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So

  • the men sat down, in number about five thousand. [11] And Jesus took the loaves; and when he

  • had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down;

  • and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

  • [12] When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain,

  • that nothing be lost. [13] Therefore they gathered them together,

  • and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained

  • over and above unto them that had eaten. [14] Then those men, when they had seen the

  • miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the

  • world. [15] When Jesus therefore perceived that they

  • would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain

  • himself alone. [16] And when even was now come, his disciples

  • went down unto the sea, [17] And entered into a ship, and went over

  • the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

  • [18] And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

  • [19] So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus

  • walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

  • [20] But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

  • [21] Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at

  • the land whither they went. [22] The day following, when the people which

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

  • one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples

  • into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

  • [23] (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did

  • eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) [24] When the people therefore saw that Jesus

  • was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum,

  • seeking for Jesus. [25] And when they had found him on the other

  • side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

  • [26] Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because

  • ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

  • [27] Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting

  • life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

  • [28] Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

  • [29] Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him

  • whom he hath sent. [30] They said therefore unto him, What sign

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

  • [31] Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from

  • heaven to eat. [32] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily,

  • I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the

  • true bread from heaven. [33] For the bread of God is he which cometh

  • down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

  • [34] Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

  • [35] And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never

  • hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

  • [36] But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

  • [37] All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in

  • no wise cast out. [38] For I came down from heaven, not to do

  • mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

  • [39] And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me

  • I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

  • [40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and

  • believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

  • [41] The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from

  • heaven. [42] And they said, Is not this Jesus, the

  • son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came

  • down from heaven? [43] Jesus therefore answered and said unto

  • them, Murmur not among yourselves. [44] No man can come to me, except the Father

  • which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

  • [45] It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore

  • that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

  • [46] Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the

  • Father. [47] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that

  • believeth on me hath everlasting life. [48] I am that bread of life.

  • [49] Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

  • [50] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not

  • die. [51] I am the living bread which came down

  • from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that

  • I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

  • [52] The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh

  • to eat? [53] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily,

  • I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have

  • no life in you. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my

  • blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

  • [55] For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

  • [56] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

  • [57] As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me,

  • even he shall live by me. [58] This is that bread which came down from

  • heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread

  • shall live for ever. [59] These things said he in the synagogue,

  • as he taught in Capernaum. [60] Many therefore of his disciples, when

  • they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

  • [61] When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this

  • offend you? [62] What and if ye shall see the Son of man

  • ascend up where he was before? [63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the

  • flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they

  • are life. [64] But there are some of you that believe

  • not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should

  • betray him. [65] And he said, Therefore said I unto you,

  • that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

  • [66] From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

  • [67] Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

  • [68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of

  • eternal life. [69] And we believe and are sure that thou

  • art that Christ, the Son of the living God. [70] Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen

  • you twelve, and one of you is a devil? [71] He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of

  • Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

  • John.7 [1] After these things Jesus walked in Galilee:

  • for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

  • [2] Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

  • [3] His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy

  • disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

  • [4] For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known

  • openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

  • [5] For neither did his brethren believe in him.

  • [6] Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

  • [7] The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof

  • are evil. [8] Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up

  • yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

  • [9] When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

  • [10] But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly,

  • but as it were in secret. [11] Then the Jews sought him at the feast,

  • and said, Where is he? [12] And there was much murmuring among the

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

  • the people. [13] Howbeit no man spake openly of him for

  • fear of the Jews. [14] Now about the midst of the feast Jesus

  • went up into the temple, and taught. [15] And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth

  • this man letters, having never learned? [16] Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine

  • is not mine, but his that sent me. [17] If any man will do his will, he shall

  • know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

  • [18] He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that

  • sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

  • [19] Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about

  • to kill me? [20] The people answered and said, Thou hast

  • a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? [21] Jesus answered and said unto them, I

  • have done one work, and ye all marvel. [22] Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision;

  • (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

  • [23] If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken;

  • are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

  • [24] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

  • [25] Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

  • [26] But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed

  • that this is the very Christ? [27] Howbeit we know this man whence he is:

  • but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

  • [28] Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know

  • whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know

  • not. [29] But I know him: for I am from him, and

  • he hath sent me. [30] Then they sought to take him: but no

  • man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

  • [31] And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more

  • miracles than these which this man hath done? [32] The Pharisees heard that the people murmured

  • such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take

  • him. [33] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little

  • while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

  • [34] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

  • [35] Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find

  • him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

  • [36] What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find

  • me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? [37] In the last day, that great day of the

  • feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

  • [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers

  • of living water. [39] (But this spake he of the Spirit, which

  • they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because

  • that Jesus was not yet glorified.) [40] Many of the people therefore, when they

  • heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

  • [41] Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

  • [42] Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the

  • town of Bethlehem, where David was? [43] So there was a division among the people

  • because of him. [44] And some of them would have taken him;

  • but no man laid hands on him. [45] Then came the officers to the chief priests

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

  • [46] The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

  • [47] Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

  • [48] Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

  • [49] But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

  • [50] Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

  • [51] Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

  • [52] They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for

  • out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. [53] And every man went unto his own house.

  • John.8 [1] Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

  • [2] And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto

  • him; and he sat down, and taught them. [3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought

  • unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

  • [4] They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

  • [5] Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

  • [6] This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped

  • down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

  • [7] So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He

  • that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

  • [8] And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

  • [9] And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,

  • beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing

  • in the midst. [10] When Jesus had lifted up himself, and

  • saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath

  • no man condemned thee? [11] She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said

  • unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

  • [12] Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth

  • me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

  • [13] The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record

  • is not true. [14] Jesus answered and said unto them, Though

  • I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither

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

  • [15] Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

  • [16] And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that

  • sent me. [17] It is also written in your law, that

  • the testimony of two men is true. [18] I am one that bear witness of myself,

  • and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

  • [19] Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me,

  • nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

  • [20] These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid

  • hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. [21] Then said Jesus again unto them, I go

  • my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

  • [22] Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot

  • come. [23] And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath;

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

  • [24] I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that

  • I am he, ye shall die in your sins. [25] Then said they unto him, Who art thou?

  • And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

  • [26] I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I

  • speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

  • [27] They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

  • [28] Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know

  • that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these

  • things. [29] And he that sent me is with me: the Father

  • hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

  • [30] As he spake these words, many believed on him.

  • [31] Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are

  • ye my disciples indeed; [32] And ye shall know the truth, and the

  • truth shall make you free. [33] They answered him, We be Abraham's seed,

  • and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

  • [34] Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is

  • the servant of sin. [35] And the servant abideth not in the house

  • for ever: but the Son abideth ever. [36] If the Son therefore shall make you free,

  • ye shall be free indeed. [37] I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but

  • ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

  • [38] I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen

  • with your father. [39] They answered and said unto him, Abraham

  • is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works

  • of Abraham. [40] But now ye seek to kill me, a man that

  • hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

  • [41] Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication;

  • we have one Father, even God. [42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your

  • Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of

  • myself, but he sent me. [43] Why do ye not understand my speech? even

  • because ye cannot hear my word. [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and

  • the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not

  • in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of

  • his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

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

  • [46] Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe

  • me? [47] He that is of God heareth God's words:

  • ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

  • [48] Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan,

  • and hast a devil? [49] Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but

  • I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. [50] And I seek not mine own glory: there

  • is one that seeketh and judgeth. [51] Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a

  • man keep my saying, he shall never see death. [52] Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know

  • that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep

  • my saying, he shall never taste of death. [53] Art thou greater than our father Abraham,

  • which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

  • [54] Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth

  • me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: [55] Yet ye have not known him; but I know

  • him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know

  • him, and keep his saying. [56] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my

  • day: and he saw it, and was glad. [57] Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art

  • not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

  • [58] Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

  • [59] Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the

  • temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

  • John.9 [1] And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which

  • was blind from his birth. [2] And his disciples asked him, saying, Master,

  • who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

  • [3] Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works

  • of God should be made manifest in him. [4] I must work the works of him that sent

  • me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

  • [5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

  • [6] When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and

  • he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

  • [7] And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.)

  • He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

  • [8] The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said,

  • Is not this he that sat and begged? [9] Some said, This is he: others said, He

  • is like him: but he said, I am he. [10] Therefore said they unto him, How were

  • thine eyes opened? [11] He answered and said, A man that is called

  • Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and

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

  • [12] Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

  • [13] They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

  • [14] And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

  • [15] Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto

  • them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

  • [16] Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth

  • not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And

  • there was a division among them. [17] They say unto the blind man again, What

  • sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

  • [18] But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received

  • his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

  • [19] And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then

  • doth he now see? [20] His parents answered them and said, We

  • know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

  • [21] But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know

  • not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

  • [22] These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed

  • already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the

  • synagogue. [23] Therefore said his parents, He is of

  • age; ask him. [24] Then again called they the man that was

  • blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

  • [25] He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know,

  • that, whereas I was blind, now I see. [26] Then said they to him again, What did

  • he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? [27] He answered them, I have told you already,

  • and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

  • [28] Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

  • [29] We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he

  • is. [30] The man answered and said unto them,

  • Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath

  • opened mine eyes. [31] Now we know that God heareth not sinners:

  • but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

  • [32] Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was

  • born blind. [33] If this man were not of God, he could

  • do nothing. [34] They answered and said unto him, Thou

  • wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

  • [35] Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him,

  • Dost thou believe on the Son of God? [36] He answered and said, Who is he, Lord,

  • that I might believe on him? [37] And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both

  • seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. [38] And he said, Lord, I believe. And he

  • worshipped him. [39] And Jesus said, For judgment I am come

  • into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made

  • blind. [40] And some of the Pharisees which were

  • with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

  • [41] Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We

  • see; therefore your sin remaineth.

  • John.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. [2] But he that entereth in by the door is

  • the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep

  • hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

  • [4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow

  • him: for they know his voice. [5] And a stranger will they not follow, but

  • will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

  • [6] This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were

  • which he spake unto them. [7] Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily,

  • verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

  • [8] All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

  • [9] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and

  • out, and find pasture. [10] The thief cometh not, but for to steal,

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

  • have it more abundantly. [11] I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd

  • giveth his life for the sheep. [12] But he that is an hireling, and not the

  • shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and

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

  • [13] The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

  • [14] I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

  • [15] As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the

  • sheep. [16] And other sheep I have, which are not

  • of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall

  • be one fold, and one shepherd. [17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because

  • I lay down my life, that I might take it again. [18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it

  • down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment

  • have I received of my Father. [19] There was a division therefore again

  • among the Jews for these sayings. [20] And many of them said, He hath a devil,

  • and is mad; why hear ye him? [21] Others said, These are not the words

  • of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

  • [22] And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

  • [23] And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

  • [24] Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us

  • to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. [25] Jesus answered them, I told you, and

  • ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

  • [26] But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

  • [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

  • [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any

  • man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater

  • than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

  • [30] I and my Father are one. [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to

  • stone him. [32] Jesus answered them, Many good works

  • have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

  • [33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy;

  • and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

  • [34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

  • [35] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot

  • be broken; [36] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified,

  • and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

  • [37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

  • [38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe,

  • that the Father is in me, and I in him. [39] Therefore they sought again to take him:

  • but he escaped out of their hand, [40] And went away again beyond Jordan into

  • the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

  • [41] And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John

  • spake of this man were true. [42] And many believed on him there.

  • John.11 [1] Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus,

  • of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

  • [2] (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her

  • hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) [3] Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying,

  • Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. [4] When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness

  • is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

  • [5] Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

  • [6] When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same

  • place where he was. [7] Then after that saith he to his disciples,

  • Let us go into Judaea again. [8] His disciples say unto him, Master, the

  • Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

  • [9] Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he

  • stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

  • [10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

  • [11] These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;

  • but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. [12] Then said his disciples, Lord, if he

  • sleep, he shall do well. [13] Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but

  • they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

  • [14] Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

  • [15] And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless

  • let us go unto him. [16] Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus,

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

  • [17] Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

  • [18] Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

  • [19] And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

  • [20] Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary

  • sat still in the house. [21] Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if

  • thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. [22] But I know, that even now, whatsoever

  • thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. [23] Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall

  • rise again. [24] Martha saith unto him, I know that he

  • shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

  • [25] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though

  • he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in

  • me shall never die. Believest thou this? [27] She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe

  • that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

  • [28] And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly,

  • saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

  • [29] As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

  • [30] Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

  • [31] The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw

  • Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave

  • to weep there. [32] Then when Mary was come where Jesus was,

  • and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my

  • brother had not died. [33] When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,

  • and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

  • [34] And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

  • [35] Jesus wept. [36] Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved

  • him! [37] And some of them said, Could not this

  • man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have

  • died? [38] Jesus therefore again groaning in himself

  • cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

  • [39] Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto

  • him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

  • [40] Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou

  • shouldest see the glory of God? [41] Then they took away the stone from the

  • place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee

  • that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always:

  • but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast

  • sent me. [43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried

  • with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. [44] And he that was dead came forth, bound

  • hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith

  • unto them, Loose him, and let him go. [45] Then many of the Jews which came to Mary,

  • and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

  • [46] But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus

  • had done. [47] Then gathered the chief priests and the

  • Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

  • [48] If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come

  • and take away both our place and nation. [49] And one of them, named Caiaphas, being

  • the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

  • [50] Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people,

  • and that the whole nation perish not. [51] And this spake he not of himself: but

  • being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

  • [52] And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the

  • children of God that were scattered abroad. [53] Then from that day forth they took counsel

  • together for to put him to death. [54] Jesus therefore walked no more openly

  • among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called

  • Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. [55] And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand:

  • and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

  • [56] Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple,

  • What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

  • [57] Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man

  • knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

  • John.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.

  • [2] There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat

  • at the table with him. [3] Then took Mary a pound of ointment of

  • spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair:

  • and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

  • [4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray

  • him, [5] Why was not this ointment sold for three

  • hundred pence, and given to the poor? [6] This he said, not that he cared for the

  • poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

  • [7] Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

  • [8] For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

  • [9] Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus'

  • sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

  • [10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

  • [11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

  • [12] On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus

  • was coming to Jerusalem, [13] Took branches of palm trees, and went

  • forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name

  • of the Lord. [14] And Jesus, when he had found a young

  • ass, sat thereon; as it is written, [15] Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy

  • King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. [16] These things understood not his disciples

  • at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were

  • written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

  • [17] The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and

  • raised him from the dead, bare record. [18] For this cause the people also met him,

  • for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

  • [19] The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold,

  • the world is gone after him. [20] And there were certain Greeks among them

  • that came up to worship at the feast: [21] The same came therefore to Philip, which

  • was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

  • [22] Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

  • [23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be

  • glorified. [24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except

  • a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth

  • forth much fruit. [25] He that loveth his life shall lose it;

  • and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

  • [26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant

  • be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

  • [27] Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but

  • for this cause came I unto this hour. [28] Father, glorify thy name. Then came there

  • a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

  • [29] The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others

  • said, An angel spake to him. [30] Jesus answered and said, This voice came

  • not because of me, but for your sakes. [31] Now is the judgment of this world: now

  • shall the prince of this world be cast out. [32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,

  • will draw all men unto me. [33] This he said, signifying what death he

  • should die. [34] The people answered him, We have heard

  • out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be

  • lifted up? who is this Son of man? [35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little

  • while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you:

  • for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

  • [36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These

  • things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

  • [37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

  • [38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord,

  • who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

  • [39] Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

  • [40] He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with

  • their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

  • [41] These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

  • [42] Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees

  • they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

  • [43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

  • [44] Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that

  • sent me. [45] And he that seeth me seeth him that sent

  • me. [46] I am come a light into the world, that

  • whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

  • [47] And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge

  • the world, but to save the world. [48] He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not

  • my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him

  • in the last day. [49] For I have not spoken of myself; but

  • the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

  • [50] And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore,

  • even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

  • John.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.

  • [2] And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot,

  • Simon's son, to betray him; [3] Jesus knowing that the Father had given

  • all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

  • [4] He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded

  • himself. [5] After that he poureth water into a bason,

  • and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was

  • girded. [6] Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter

  • saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? [7] Jesus answered and said unto him, What

  • I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

  • [8] Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash

  • thee not, thou hast no part with me. [9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not

  • my feet only, but also my hands and my head. [10] Jesus saith to him, He that is washed

  • needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not

  • all. [11] For he knew who should betray him; therefore

  • said he, Ye are not all clean. [12] So after he had washed their feet, and

  • had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done

  • to you? [13] Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say

  • well; for so I am. [14] If I then, your Lord and Master, have

  • washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

  • [15] For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

  • [16] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that

  • is sent greater than he that sent him. [17] If ye know these things, happy are ye

  • if ye do them. [18] I speak not of you all: I know whom I

  • have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath

  • lifted up his heel against me. [19] Now I tell you before it come, that,

  • when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

  • [20] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me;

  • and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

  • [21] When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily,

  • verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

  • [22] Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

  • [23] Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

  • [24] Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom

  • he spake. [25] He then lying on Jesus' breast saith

  • unto him, Lord, who is it? [26] Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall

  • give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas

  • Iscariot, the son of Simon. [27] And after the sop Satan entered into

  • him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

  • [28] Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

  • [29] For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him,

  • Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something

  • to the poor. [30] He then having received the sop went

  • immediately out: and it was night. [31] Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus

  • said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

  • [32] If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway

  • glorify him. [33] Little children, yet a little while I

  • am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come;

  • so now I say to you. [34] A new commandment I give unto you, That

  • ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

  • [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

  • [36] Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I

  • go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

  • [37] Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life

  • for thy sake. [38] Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down

  • thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou

  • hast denied me thrice.

  • John.14 [1] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe

  • in God, believe also in me. [2] In my Father's house are many mansions:

  • if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

  • [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;

  • that where I am, there ye may be also. [4] And whither I go ye know, and the way

  • ye know. [5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not

  • whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

  • [6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the

  • Father, but by me. [7] If ye had known me, ye should have known

  • my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

  • [8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

  • [9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known

  • me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew

  • us the Father? [10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father,

  • and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father

  • that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. [11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and

  • the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

  • [12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall

  • he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

  • [13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified

  • in the Son. [14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name,

  • I will do it. [15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.

  • [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide

  • with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world

  • cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for

  • he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will

  • come to you. [19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth

  • me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

  • [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

  • [21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that

  • loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself

  • to him. [22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord,

  • how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

  • [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and

  • my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

  • [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not

  • mine, but the Father's which sent me. [25] These things have I spoken unto you,

  • being yet present with you. [26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy

  • Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all

  • things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

  • [27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I

  • unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

  • [28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved

  • me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater

  • than I. [29] And now I have told you before it come

  • to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

  • [30] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath

  • nothing in me. [31] But that the world may know that I love

  • the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

  • John.15 [1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the

  • husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit

  • he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth

  • more fruit. [3] Now ye are clean through the word which

  • I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch

  • cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide

  • in me. [5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He

  • that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me

  • ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth

  • as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they

  • are burned. [7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide

  • in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

  • [8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

  • [9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

  • [10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's

  • commandments, and abide in his love. [11] These things have I spoken unto you,

  • that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

  • [12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

  • [13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

  • [14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

  • [15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:

  • but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made

  • known unto you. [16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen

  • you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should

  • remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

  • [17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.

  • [18] If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

  • [19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the

  • world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

  • [20] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.

  • If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying,

  • they will keep yours also. [21] But all these things will they do unto

  • you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

  • [22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no

  • cloke for their sin. [23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

  • [24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had

  • sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

  • [25] But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their

  • law, They hated me without a cause. [26] But when the Comforter is come, whom

  • I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from

  • the Father, he shall testify of me: [27] And ye also shall bear witness, because

  • ye have been with me from the beginning.

  • John.16 [1] These things have I spoken unto you, that

  • ye should not be offended. [2] They shall put you out of the synagogues:

  • yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

  • [3] And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor

  • me. [4] But these things have I told you, that

  • when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things

  • I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

  • [5] But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

  • [6] But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

  • [7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if

  • I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him

  • unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the

  • world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

  • [9] Of sin, because they believe not on me; [10] Of righteousness, because I go to my

  • Father, and ye see me no more; [11] Of judgment, because the prince of this

  • world is judged. [12] I have yet many things to say unto you,

  • but ye cannot bear them now. [13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,

  • is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever

  • he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

  • [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

  • [15] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine,

  • and shall shew it unto you. [16] A little while, and ye shall not see

  • me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

  • [17] Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto

  • us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see

  • me: and, Because I go to the Father? [18] They said therefore, What is this that

  • he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

  • [19] Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire

  • among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again,

  • a little while, and ye shall see me? [20] Verily, verily, I say unto you, That

  • ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your

  • sorrow shall be turned into joy. [21] A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow,

  • because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth

  • no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

  • [22] And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall

  • rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. [23] And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.

  • Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will

  • give it you. [24] Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my

  • name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

  • [25] These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall

  • no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

  • [26] At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the

  • Father for you: [27] For the Father himself loveth you, because

  • ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

  • [28] I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world,

  • and go to the Father. [29] His disciples said unto him, Lo, now

  • speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. [30] Now are we sure that thou knowest all

  • things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest

  • forth from God. [31] Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

  • [32] Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man

  • to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is

  • with me. [33] These things I have spoken unto you,

  • that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good

  • cheer; I have overcome the world.

  • John.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: [2] As thou hast given him power over all

  • flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

  • [3] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,

  • whom thou hast sent. [4] I have glorified thee on the earth: I

  • have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

  • [5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had

  • with thee before the world was. [6] I have manifested thy name unto the men

  • which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they

  • have kept thy word. [7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever

  • thou hast given me are of thee. [8] For I have given unto them the words which

  • thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from

  • thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

  • [9] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for

  • they are thine. [10] And all mine are thine, and thine are

  • mine; and I am glorified in them. [11] And now I am no more in the world, but

  • these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those

  • whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

  • [12] While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest

  • me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture

  • might be fulfilled. [13] And now come I to thee; and these things

  • I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

  • [14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the

  • world, even as I am not of the world. [15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them

  • out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

  • [16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

  • [17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

  • [18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

  • [19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through

  • the truth. [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for

  • them also which shall believe on me through their word;

  • [21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may

  • be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

  • [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even

  • as we are one: [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they

  • may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast

  • loved them, as thou hast loved me. [24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou

  • hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast

  • given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

  • [25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these

  • have known that thou hast sent me. [26] And I have declared unto them thy name,

  • and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in

  • them.

  • John.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. [2] And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew

  • the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

  • [3] Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and

  • Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

  • [4] Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said

  • unto them, Whom seek ye? [5] They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth.

  • Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

  • [6] As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the

  • ground. [7] Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye?

  • And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. [8] Jesus answered, I have told you that I

  • am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

  • [9] That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have

  • I lost none. [10] Then Simon Peter having a sword drew

  • it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name

  • was Malchus. [11] Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy

  • sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

  • [12] Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

  • [13] And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was

  • the high priest that same year. [14] Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel

  • to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

  • [15] And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known

  • unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

  • [16] But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was

  • known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

  • [17] Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this

  • man's disciples? He saith, I am not. [18] And the servants and officers stood there,

  • who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood

  • with them, and warmed himself. [19] The high priest then asked Jesus of his

  • disciples, and of his doctrine. [20] Jesus answered him, I spake openly to

  • the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always

  • resort; and in secret have I said nothing. [21] Why askest thou me? ask them which heard

  • me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

  • [22] And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with

  • the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

  • [23] Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well,

  • why smitest thou me? [24] Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas

  • the high priest. [25] And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself.

  • They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and

  • said, I am not. [26] One of the servants of the high priest,

  • being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with

  • him? [27] Peter then denied again: and immediately

  • the cock crew. [28] Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto

  • the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment

  • hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

  • [29] Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

  • [30] They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered

  • him up unto thee. [31] Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him,

  • and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful

  • for us to put any man to death: [32] That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled,

  • which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

  • [33] Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto

  • him, Art thou the King of the Jews? [34] Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this

  • thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

  • [35] Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered

  • thee unto me: what hast thou done? [36] Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of

  • this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should

  • not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

  • [37] Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that

  • I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should

  • bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

  • [38] Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again

  • unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

  • [39] But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore

  • that I release unto you the King of the Jews? [40] Then cried they all again, saying, Not

  • this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

  • John.19 [1] Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and

  • scourged him. [2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,

  • and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

  • [3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

  • [4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth

  • to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

  • [5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate

  • saith unto them, Behold the man! [6] When the chief priests therefore and officers

  • saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take

  • ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

  • [7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he

  • made himself the Son of God. [8] When Pilate therefore heard that saying,

  • he was the more afraid; [9] And went again into the judgment hall,

  • and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

  • [10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I

  • have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

  • [11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given

  • thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

  • [12] And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying,

  • If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh

  • against Caesar. [13] When Pilate therefore heard that saying,

  • he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the

  • Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. [14] And it was the preparation of the passover,

  • and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

  • [15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them,

  • Shall I crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We have no king but Caesar.

  • [16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus,

  • and led him away. [17] And he bearing his cross went forth into

  • a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

  • [18] Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in

  • the midst. [19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put it

  • on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

  • [20] This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was

  • nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

  • [21] Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews;

  • but that he said, I am King of the Jews. [22] Pilate answered, What I have written

  • I have written. [23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified

  • Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat:

  • now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

  • [24] They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it,

  • whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my

  • raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the

  • soldiers did. [25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus

  • his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

  • [26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved,

  • he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

  • [27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple

  • took her unto his own home. [28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things

  • were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

  • [29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and

  • put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. [30] When Jesus therefore had received the

  • vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

  • [31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain

  • upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate

  • that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

  • [32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which

  • was crucified with him. [33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw

  • that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

  • [34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there

  • out blood and water. [35] And he that saw it bare record, and his

  • record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

  • [36] For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him

  • shall not be broken. [37] And again another scripture saith, They

  • shall look on him whom they pierced. [38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea,

  • being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he

  • might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took

  • the body of Jesus. [39] And there came also Nicodemus, which

  • at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred

  • pound weight. [40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and

  • wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

  • [41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new

  • sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. [42] There laid they Jesus therefore because

  • of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

  • John.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. [2] Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon

  • Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken

  • away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

  • [3] Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

  • [4] So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first

  • to the sepulchre. [5] And he stooping down, and looking in,

  • saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

  • [6] Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the

  • linen clothes lie, [7] And the napkin, that was about his head,

  • not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

  • [8] Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he

  • saw, and believed. [9] For as yet they knew not the scripture,

  • that he must rise again from the dead. [10] Then the disciples went away again unto

  • their own home. [11] But Mary stood without at the sepulchre

  • weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

  • [12] And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the

  • feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. [13] And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest

  • thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they

  • have laid him. [14] And when she had thus said, she turned

  • herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

  • [15] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him

  • to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou

  • hast laid him, and I will take him away. [16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned

  • herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

  • [17] Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go

  • to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my

  • God, and your God. [18] Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples

  • that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

  • [19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were

  • shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in

  • the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

  • [20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the

  • disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. [21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace

  • be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

  • [22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the

  • Holy Ghost: [23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are

  • remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

  • [24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

  • [25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto

  • them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into

  • the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

  • [26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came

  • Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

  • [27] Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach

  • hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

  • [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

  • [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed

  • are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

  • [30] And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are

  • not written in this book: [31] But these are written, that ye might

  • believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life

  • through his name.

  • John.21 [1] After these things Jesus shewed himself

  • again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

  • [2] There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee,

  • and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

  • [3] Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They

  • went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

  • [4] But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew

  • not that it was Jesus. [5] Then Jesus saith unto them, Children,

  • have ye any meat? They answered him, No. [6] And he said unto them, Cast the net on

  • the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not

  • able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. [7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved

  • saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he

  • girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

  • [8] And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but

  • as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

  • [9] As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid

  • thereon, and bread. [10] Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish

  • which ye have now caught. [11] Simon Peter went up, and drew the net

  • to land full of great fishes, and hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were

  • so many, yet was not the net broken. [12] Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.

  • And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

  • [13] Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

  • [14] This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that

  • he was risen from the dead. [15] So when they had dined, Jesus saith to

  • Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea,

  • Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

  • [16] He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith

  • unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

  • [17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved

  • because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou

  • knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

  • [18] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and

  • walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy

  • hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

  • [19] This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken

  • this, he saith unto him, Follow me. [20] Then Peter, turning about, seeth the

  • disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said,

  • Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? [21] Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord,

  • and what shall this man do? [22] Jesus saith unto him, If I will that

  • he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

  • [23] Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die:

  • yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come,

  • what is that to thee? [24] This is the disciple which testifieth

  • of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

  • [25] And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should

  • be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books

  • that should be written. Amen.
