John 1
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 enquired he of them the hour when he
began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left him. 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 enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye
shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 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 priests 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, an 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.
