John

His Testimony of Christ
Chapter 1

The gospel preached in the beginning--John bears record of the gospel and Christ--John is Elias--Andrew, Philip, and Peter called

1:1 In the beginning was the gospel preached through the Son. And the gospel was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God.

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

1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made which was made.

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

1:5 And the light shineth in the world, and the world perceiveth it not.

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

1:7 The same came into the world for a witness, to bear witness of the light, to bear record of the gospel through the Son, unto all, that through him men might believe.

1:8 He was not that light but came to bear witness of that light,

1:9 Which was the true light, which lighteth every man who cometh into the world,

1:10 Even the Son of God--he who was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

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

1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God; only to them who believe on his name.

1:13 He was born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

1:14 And the same word was made flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

1:15 John bare witness of him and cried, saying, This is he of whom I spake. He who cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me.

1:16 For in the beginning was the Word, even the Son, who is made flesh and sent unto us by the will of the Father. And as many as believe on his name shall receive of his fullness. And of his fullness have all we received, even immortality and eternal life, through his grace.

1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but life and truth came through Jesus Christ.

1:18 For the law was after a carnal commandment, to the administration of death; but the gospel was after the power of an endless life through Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father.

1:19 And no man hath seen God at any time, except he hath borne record of the Son; for except it is through him, no man can be saved.

1:20 And this is the record of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

1:21 And he confessed and denied not that he was Elias, but confessed, saying, I am not the Christ.

1:22 And they asked him, saying, How then art thou Elias? And he said, I am not that Elias who was to restore all things. And they asked him, saying, Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

1:23 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

1:24 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as saith the prophet Esaias.

1:25 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.

1:26 And they asked him and said unto him; Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not the Christ, nor Elias who was to restore all things, neither that prophet?

1:27 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you whom ye know not;

1:28 He it is of whom I bear record. He is that prophet, even Elias, who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose or whose place I am not able to fill; for he shall baptize, not only with water, but with fire and with the Holy Ghost.

1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him and said, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!

1:30 And John bare record of him unto the people, saying, This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is preferred before me; for he was before me, and I knew him and that he should be made manifest to Israel; therefore, am I come baptizing with water.

1:31 And John bare record, saying, When he was baptized of me, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

1:32 And I knew him; for he who 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 who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

1:33 And I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God.

1:34 These things were done in Bethabara, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

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

1:36 And, looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!

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

1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following him, and said unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), Where dwellest thou?

1:39 He said unto them, Come and see. And they came, and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

1:40 One of the two who heard John and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, by interpretation, a seer or a stone. And they were fishermen. And they straightway left all and followed Jesus.

1:43 The day following, Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

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

1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said unto him, Come and see.

1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

1:48 Nathanael said unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus, answering, said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

1:49 Nathanael answered and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.

1:51 And he said 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.
Chapter 2

Marriage at Cana--Jesus drives moneychangers from temple

2:1 And on the third day of the week, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.

2:2 And Jesus was called and his disciples to the marriage.

2:3 And when they wanted wine, his mother said unto him, They have no wine.

2:4 Jesus said unto her, Woman, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? That will I do; for mine hour is not yet come.

2:5 His mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, see that ye do it.

2:6 There were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

2:7 Jesus said unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

2:8 And he said, Draw out now and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare unto him.

2:9 When the governor of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine (he knew not whence it was, but the servants who drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

2:10 And said unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and manifested forth his glory; and the faith of his disciples was strengthened in him.

2:12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and they continued there not many days.

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

2:14 And found in the temple those who sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables,

2:16 And said unto them who sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

2:17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.

2:18 Then spake the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing thou doest these things?

2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

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

2:22 When, therefore, he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they remembered the scripture and the word which Jesus had said unto them.

2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast day, many believed on his name when they saw the miracles which he did.

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

2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man; for he knew what was in man.
Chapter 3

Rebirth by water and spirit--Love of God declared--John and Jesus baptize

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

3:2 The same came to Jesus by night and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles which thou doest, except God be with him.

3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

3:4 Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?

3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

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

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

3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

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

3:10 Jesus answered and said, Art thou a master of Israel and knowest not these things?

3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

3:12 If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

3:13 I tell you, No man hath ascended up to heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

3:15 That whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

3:18 He who believeth on him is not condemned; but he who believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God, which before was preached by the mouth of the holy prophets; for they testified of me.

3:19 And this is the condemnation: that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.

3:20 For everyone who doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

3:21 But he who loveth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest.

3:22 And he who obeyeth the truth, the works which he doeth, they are of God.

3:23 After these things, came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them and baptized.

3:24 And John also was baptizing in Aenon, near to Salim because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized,

3:25 For John was not yet cast into prison.

3:26 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

3:27 And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou bearest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and he receiveth of all people who come unto him.

3:28 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

3:29 Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

3:30 He who hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice; this my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.

3:31 He must increase, but I must decrease.

3:32 He who cometh from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaketh of the earth; he who cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and but few men receive his testimony.

3:33 He who hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God; for God giveth him not the Spirit by measure, for he dwelleth in him, even the fullness.

3:35 The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into his hands.

3:36 And he who believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and shall receive of his fullness. But he who believeth not the Son shall not receive of his fullness; for the wrath of God is upon him.
Chapter 4

Pharisees seek to destroy Jesus--Woman at the well--Water of life eternal--Nobleman's son healed

4:1 When, therefore, the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

4:2 They sought more diligently some means that they might put him to death; for many received John as a prophet, but they believed not on Jesus.

4:3 Now the Lord knew this, though he himself baptized not so many as his disciples;

4:4 For he suffered them for an example, preferring one another.

4:5 And he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee,

4:6 And said unto his disciples, I must needs go through Samaria.

4:7 Then he cometh to the city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph, the place where Jacob's well was.

4:8 Now Jesus, being weary with his journey, it being about the sixth hour, sat down on the well;

4:9 And there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.

4:10 Now his disciples were gone away into the city to buy meat.

4:11 Wherefore, he being alone, the woman of Samaria said unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

4:12 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

4:13 The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou that living water?

4:14 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

4:15 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever shall drink of this well shall thirst again;

4:16 But whosoever drinketh of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

4:17 The woman said unto him, Sir, give me of this water that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

4:18 Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

4:19 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband.

4:20 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in that, saidst thou truly.

4:21 The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

4:22 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

4:23 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father.

4:24 Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship; and salvation is of the Jews.

4:25 And the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

4:26 For unto such hath God promised his Spirit. And they who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.

4:27 The woman said unto him, I know that Messias cometh, who is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.

4:28 Jesus said unto her, I who speak unto thee am the Messias.

4:29 And upon this came his disciples and marveled that he talked with the woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

4:30 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,

4:31 Come see a man who told me all things that I have ever done. Is not this the Christ?

4:32 Then they went out of the city and came unto him.

4:33 In the meantime, his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

4:34 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

4:35 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him meat to eat?

4:36 Jesus said unto them, My meat is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

4:37 Say not ye, There are yet four months, then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

4:38 And he who reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that both he who soweth and he who reapeth may rejoice together.

4:39 And herein is that saying true: One soweth and another reapeth.

4:40 I have sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor; the prophets have labored, and ye have entered into their labors.

4:41 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, saying, He told me alI things that I have ever done.

4:42 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them; and he abode there two days.

4:43 And many more believed because of his own word,

4:44 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying; we have heard for ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.

4:45 Now after two days he departed thence and went into Galilee.

4:46 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

4:47 Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things which he did at Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went unto the feast.

4:48 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

4:49 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

4:50 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

4:51 The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down before my child die.

4:52 Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

4:53 And as he was now going down to his house, his servants met him and spake, saying, Thy son liveth.

4:54 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to mend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

4:55 So the father knew that his son was healed in the same hour in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house,

4:56 This being the second miracle which Jesus had done when he had come out of Judea into Galilee.
Chapter 5

Impotent man healed--The resurrection--Testimony of Christ

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

5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep market, a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches.

5:3 In these porches lay a great many impotent folk--of blind, halt, withered--waiting for the moving of the water.

5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water. Whosoever then first, after the troubling of the water, stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5:5 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

5:6 And Jesus saw him lie and knew that he had been now a long time afflicted; and he said unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

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

5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked; and it was on the Sabbath day.

5:10 The Jews, therefore, said unto him who was cured, It is the Sabbath day; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

5:11 He answered them, He who made me whole said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.

5:12 Then answered they him, saying, What man is he who said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

5:13 And he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.

5:14 Afterward, Jesus findeth him in the temple and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

5:15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole;

5:16 And, therefore, did the Jews persecute Jesus and sought to slay him because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

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

5:18 Therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him because he had not only broken the Sabbath but said also that God was his father, making himself equal with God.

5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father do; for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

5:20 For the Father loveth the Son and showeth him all things that himself doeth; and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them, even so, the Son quickeneth whom he will.

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

5:23 That all should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who hath sent him.

5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death into life.

5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they who hear shall live.

5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself,

5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also because he is the Son of Man.

5:28 Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming in the which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice,

5:29 And shall come forth--they who have done good, in the resurrection of the just; and they who have done evil, in the resurrection of the unjust--

5:30 And shall all be judged of the Son of Man. For as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just;

5:31 For I can of mine own self do nothing because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

5:32 Therefore, if I bear witness of myself, yet my witness is true.

5:33 For I am not alone; there is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that the testimony which he giveth of me is true.

5:34 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness also unto the truth.

5:35 And he received not his testimony of man, but of God; and ye yourselves say that he is a prophet; therefore, ye ought to receive his testimony. These things I say that ye might be saved.

5:36 He was a burning and a shining light; and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

5:37 But I have a greater witness than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

5:38 And the Father himself who sent me, hath borne witness of me. And verily, I testify unto you that ye have never heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape;

5:39 For ye have not his word abiding in you; and him whom he hath sent, ye believe not.

5:40 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me.

5:41 And ye will not come to me that ye might have life, lest ye should honor me.

5:42 I receive not honor from men.

5:43 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

5:44 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

5:45 How can ye believe, who seek honor one of another and seek not the honor which cometh from God only?

5:46 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is Moses who accuseth you, in whom ye trust.

5:47 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

5:48 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Chapter 6

Christ feeds five thousand--People would make Christ king--He walks on the sea--He is the bread of life--Many leave him

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

6:2 And a great multitude followed him because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

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

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

6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

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

6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

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

6:9 There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes. But what are they among so many?

6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

6:12 When they had eaten and were satisfied, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

6:13 Therefore, they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained, over and above unto them that had eaten.

6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

6:15 When Jesus, therefore, perceived that they would come and take him by force to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

6:16 And when even was come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

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

6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing nigh unto the ship; and they were afraid.

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

6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

6:22 The day following, the people, which stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone.

6:23 Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread after that the Lord had given thanks.

6:24 When the people, therefore, saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, how camest thou hither?

6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye desire to keep my sayings, neither because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled.

6:27 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man hath power to give unto you; for him hath God the Father sealed.

6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

6:30 They said, therefore, unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work?

6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world.

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

6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

6:36 But I said unto you that, Ye also have seen me and believe not.

6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

6:38 For I came down from heaven not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the resurrection of the just at the last day.

6:41 The Jews then murmured at him because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

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

6:44 No man can come unto me except he doeth the will of my Father who hath sent me. And this is the will of him who hath sent me, that ye receive the Son; for the Father beareth record of him; and he who receiveth the testimony and doeth the will of him who sent me, I will raise up in the resurrection of the just.

6:45 For it is written in the prophets, And these shall all be taught of God. Every man, therefore, that hath heard and hath learned of the Father cometh unto me.

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

6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

6:48 I am that bread of life.

6:49 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.

6:50 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead.

6:51 But I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

6:52 The Jews, therefore, strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up in the resurrection of the just at the last day.

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

6:56 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him.

6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead; he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.

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

6:60 Many, therefore, of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying. Who can hear it?

6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before?

6:63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.

6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not and who should betray him.

6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me except he doeth the will of my Father who hath sent me.

6:66 From that time, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.

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

6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.

6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
Chapter 7

Jesus reproves his kinsmen--Goes to the feast of tabernacles--Teaches in the temple

7:1 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Jewry because the Jews sought to kill him.

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

7:3 His brethren, therefore, said unto him, Depart hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works that thou doest.

7:4 For there is no man that doeth anything in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.

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

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

7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

7:8 Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet full come.

7:9 When he had said these words unto them, he continued still in Galilee.

7:10 But after his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

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

7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him; for some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the people.

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

7:14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

7:15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

7:16 Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself.

7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil. Who goeth about to kill thee?

7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

7:22 Moses, therefore, gave unto you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

7:23 If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken, are ye angry at me because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?

7:24 Judge not according to your traditions, but judge righteous judgment.

7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

7:26 But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know, indeed, that this is the very Christ?

7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is; but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

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

7:30 Then they sought to take him; but no man laid hands on him because his hour was not yet come.

7:31 And many of the people believed on him and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

7:34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find me; and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?

7:36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find me; and where I am thither ye cannot come?

7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive; for the Holy Ghost was promised unto them who believe, after that Jesus was glorified.)

7:40 Many of the people, therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the prophet.

7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

7:42 Hath not the scripture said that Christ cometh of the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

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

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

7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

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

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

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

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

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

7:51 Doth our law judge any man before it hear him and know what he doeth?

7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look; for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

7:53 And every man went unto his own house.
Chapter 8

Woman taken in adultery--Christ is the light of the world

8:1 And Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

8:2 Early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down and taught them.

8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst of the people,

8:4 They said unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned. But what sayest thou?

8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

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

8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the temple.

8:10 When Jesus had raised up himself and saw none of her accusers and the woman standing, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?

8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more. And the woman glorified God from that hour and believed on his name.

8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

8:13 The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true; for I know whence I came and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come and whither I go.

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

8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

8:17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

8:18 I am one that bears witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me nor my Father; if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

8:20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury as he taught in the temple; and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.

8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way; and ye shall seek me and shall die in your sins; whither I go, ye cannot come.

8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above; ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

8:24 I said, therefore, unto you that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you; but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

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

8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

8:29 And he that sent me is with me; the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

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

8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

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

8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed and were never in bondage to any man. How sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the Son abideth ever.

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

8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me because my word hath no place in you.

8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father; and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God; this did not Abraham.

8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot bear my word.

8:44 Ye are of your father, the devil; and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar and the father of it.

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

8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

8:47 He that is of God receiveth God's words; ye, therefore, receive them not because ye are not of God.

8:48 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil?

8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and ye do dishonor me.

8:50 And I seek not mine own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom makest thou thyself?

8:54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing; it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God;

8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I know him and keep his saying.

8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it and was glad.

8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Chapter 9

Blind man healed

9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

9:2 And his disciples asked him saying, Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me while I am with you; the time cometh when I shall have finished my work; then I go unto the Father.

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

9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

9:7 And said unto him, Go; wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went his way, therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

9:8 The neighbors, therefore, and they which before had seen him, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9:9 Some said, This is he; others said, He is like him. But he said, I am he.

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

9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight.

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

9:13 And they brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

9:14 And it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed and do see.

9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

9:17 They said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him who hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age; ask him; he shall speak for himself.

9:22 These words spake his parents because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already that, if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

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

9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind and said unto him, Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner.

9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not; one thing I know: that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?

9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not believe; wherefore, would you believe if I should tell you again? And would you be his disciples?

9:28 Then they reviled him and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses; as for this man, we know not from whence he is.

9:30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners; but if any man be a worshiper of God and doeth his will, him he heareth.

9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind, except he be of God.

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

9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

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

9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

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

9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see and that they which see might be made blind.

9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?

9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore, your sin remaineth.
Chapter 10

Christ is the door and good shepherd--Divers opinions of him--Many believe on him

10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

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

10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.

10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.

10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them; but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheepfold.

10:8 All that ever came before me who testified not of me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.

10:9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10:10 The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.

10:11 I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

10:12 And the shepherd is not as a hireling, whose own the sheep are not, who seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth the sheep and scattereth them.

10:13 For I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

10:14 But he who is a hireling fleeth because he is a hireling and careth not for the sheep.

10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

10:19 There was a division, therefore, again among the Jews for these sayings.

10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear ye him?

10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

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

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

10:24 Then came the Jews round about him and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not; the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

10:26 But ye believe not because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

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

10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

10:30 I and my Father are one.

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

10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father. For which of those works do ye stone me?

10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken,

10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

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

10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.

10:39 Therefore, they sought again to take him; but he escaped out of their hand,

10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

10:41 And many resorted unto him and said, John did no miracle; but all things that John spake of this man were true.

10:42 And many believed on him there.
Chapter 11

Christ raises Lazarus--Many Jews believe--Caiaphas prophesies--Jesus hides himself

11:1 Now a certain man was sick, whose name was Lazarus, of the town of Bethany;

11:2 And Mary, his sister, who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, lived with her sister Martha, in whose house her brother Lazarus was sick.

11:3 Therefore, his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

11:4 And when Jesus heard he was sick, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

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

11:6 And Jesus tarried two days after he heard that Lazarus was sick, in the same place where he was.

11:7 After that, he said unto his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.

11:8 But his disciples said unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee. And goest thou thither again?

11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not because he seeth the light of this world.

11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth because there is no light in him.

11:11 These things said he; and after that, he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

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

11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death; but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

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

11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go unto him.

11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him; for they feared, lest the Jews should take Jesus and put him to death, for as yet they did not understand the power of God.

11:17 And when Jesus came to Bethany, to Martha's house, Lazarus had already been in the grave four days.

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

11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother.

11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary sat still in the house.

11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

11:22 But I know that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

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

11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live;

11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come and calleth for thee.

11:29 As soon as Mary heard that Jesus was come, she arose quickly and came unto him.

11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him.

11:31 The Jews then, which were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

11:33 When Jesus, therefore, saw her weeping and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

11:35 Jesus wept.

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

11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

11:38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh; for he hath been dead four days.

11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people which stand by, I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!

11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

11:45 Then many of the Jews, which came to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees and told them what things Jesus had done.

11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council and said, What shall we do? For this man doeth many miracles.

11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him; and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not.

11:51 And this spake he not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation,

11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

11:54 Jesus, therefore, walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

11:55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover to purify themselves.

11:56 Then sought they for Jesus and spake among themselves as they stood in the temple, What think ye of Jesus? Will he not come to the feast?

11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should show them, that they might take him.
Chapter 12

Mary anoints Jesus' feet--Christ rides into Jerusalem--Foretells his death--Many chief rulers believe but do not confess him

12:1 Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

12:2 There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?

12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone; for she hath preserved this ointment until now, that she might anoint me in token of my burial.

12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

12:9 Much people of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was there; and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death,

12:11 Because that, by reason of him, many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.

12:12 On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord!

12:14 And Jesus, when he had sent two of his disciples and got a young ass, sat thereon, as it is written,

12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him and that they had done these things unto him.

12:17 The people, therefore, that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bare record.

12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

12:19 The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.

12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast;

12:21 The same came, therefore, to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew; and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be; if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.

12:27 Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but for this cause came I unto this hour.

12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

12:29 The people, therefore, that stood by and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spake to him.

12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

12:31 Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth forever; and how sayest thou, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?

12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him,

12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake: Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

12:39 Therefore, they could not believe because that Esaias said again,

12:40 He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

12:41 These things said Esaias when he saw his glory and spake of him.

12:42 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

12:47 And if any man hear my words and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

12:48 He that rejecteth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment--what I should say and what I should speak.

12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting; whatsoever I speak, therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Chapter 13

Jesus washes the disciples' feet--Commands them to love one another

13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God,

13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments, and took a towel, and girded himself.

13:5 After that, he poureth water into a basin, and he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter; and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou needest not to wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that has washed his hands and his head needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit; and ye are clean, but not all. Now this was the custom of the Jews under their law; wherefore, Jesus did this that the law might be fulfilled.

13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am.

13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

13:18 I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am the Christ.

13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you that one of you shall betray me.

13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

13:24 Simon Peter, therefore, beckoned to him that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

13:25 He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

13:27 And after the sop, Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.

13:30 He then, having received the sop, went immediately out; and it was night.

13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself and shall straightway glorify him.

13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you:

13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

13:36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

13:38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
Chapter 14

Christ is the way, the truth, the life, and one with the Father--Prayers in his name are effectual--He requests love and obedience and promises the Comforter

14:1 Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God; believe also in me.

14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

14:3 And when I go, I will prepare a place for you, and come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, ye may be also.

14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest. And how can we know the way?

14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.

14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.

14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. And how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.

14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.

14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14:14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever,

14:17 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you.

14:18 I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.

14:19 Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall live also.

14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

14:21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

14:22 Judas saith unto him (not Iscariot), Lord, how is it thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?

14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him; and we will come unto him and make our abode with him.

14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's, which sent me.

14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice because I said, I go unto the Father; for my Father is greater than I.

14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you; for the prince of darkness, who is of this world, cometh, but hath no power over me; but he hath power over you.

14:31 And I tell you these things, that ye may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise; let us go hence.
Chapter 15

Parable of the vine--Hatred and persecution of the world--The Holy Ghost testifies of Christ

15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

15:5 I am the vine; ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered; and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue ye in my love.

15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.

15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

15:14 Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore, the world hateth you.

15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake because they know not him that sent me.

15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin.

15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin; but now have they both seen and hateth both me and my Father.

15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law: They hated me without a cause.

15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me;

15:27 And ye also shall bear witness because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Chapter 16

Christ forewarns of persecution--The Holy Ghost--Resurrection and ascension--Christ teaches to pray in his name--Peace in Christ and tribulation in the world

16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

16:3 And these things will they do unto you because they have not known the Father nor me.

16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning because I was with you.

16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

16:6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

16:9 Of sin because they believe not on me;

16:10 Of righteousness because I go to my Father, and they see me no more;

16:11 Of judgment because the prince of this world is judged.

16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come.

16:14 He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you.

16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine; therefore said I that he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you.

16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me because I go to the Father.

16:17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, A little while, and ye shall see me; and, Because I go to the Father?

16:18 They said, therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We cannot tell what he saith.

16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, A little while, and ye shall see me?

16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

16:21 A woman, when she is in travail, hath sorrow because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

16:22 And ye now, therefore, have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man taketh from you.

16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing, but it shall be done unto you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs; but the time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you;

16:27 For the Father himself loveth you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.

16:28 I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly and speakest no proverb.

16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things and needest not that any man should ask thee; by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.

16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Chapter 17

Christ prays to his Father for his apostles and those who believe through their word--That they may be one

17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee;

17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me.

17:9 I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world; and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth.

17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word,

17:21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one,

17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

17:24 Father, I will that they, also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Chapter 18

Judas betrays Jesus--Officers fall to the ground--Peter smites off Malchus' ear--Peter's denial--Jesus examined by Caiaphas and Pilate--Jews ask for Barabbas

18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden into the which he entered, and his disciples.

18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place; for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.

18:4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward and fell to the ground.

18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he; if, therefore, ye seek me, let these go their way,

18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake: Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

18:10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

18:12 Then the band, and the captain, and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

18:14 Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

18:15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple; that disciple was known unto the high priest and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals, for it was cold; and they warmed themselves; and Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.

18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

18:21 Why askest thou me? Ask them which heard me what I have said unto them; behold, they know what I said.

18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?

18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas, the high priest.

18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said, therefore, unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said, I am not.

18:26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

18:27 Peter then denied again; and immediately the cock crew.

18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment; and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the passover.

18:29 Pilate then went out unto them and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him and judge him according to your law. The Jews, therefore, said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death,

18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake signifying what death he should die.

18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me. What hast thou done?

18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.

18:37 Pilate, therefore, said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice.

18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews and saith unto them, I find in him no fault.

18:39 But ye have a custom that I should release unto you one at the passover. Will ye, therefore, that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber.
Chapter 19

Christ is scourged, crowned with thorns, and beaten--Pilate delivers him to be crucified--Soldiers divide his garments--Christ dies--He is buried by Joseph and Nicodemus

19:1 Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him.

19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head; and they put on him a purple robe,

19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote him with their hands.

19:4 Pilate, therefore, went forth again and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

19:6 When the chief priests, therefore, and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him.

19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.

19:8 When Pilate, therefore, heard that saying, he was the more afraid,

19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and have power to release thee?

19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above; therefore, he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend; whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

19:13 When Pilate, therefore, heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour; and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

19:15 But they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

19:16 Then delivered he him, therefore, unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

19:17 And he, bearing his cross, went forth into a place called the place of burial, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha,

19:18 Where they crucified him and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19:19 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

19:20 This title then read many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat; now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

19:24 They said, therefore, among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things, therefore, the soldiers did.

19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

19:26 When Jesus, therefore, saw his mother and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

19:29 Now there was a vessel full of vinegar mingled with gall; and they filled a sponge with it, and put upon hyssop, and put to his mouth.

19:30 When Jesus, therefore, had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.

19:31 The Jews, therefore, because it was the preparation--that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day (for that Sabbath day was a high day)--besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

19:32 Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first and of the other which was crucified with him.

19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs;

19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

19:35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

19:36 For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

19:37 And again, another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

19:38 And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. He came, therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

19:39 And there came also Nicodemus (which at the first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.

19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid.

19:42 There laid they Jesus, therefore, because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.
Chapter 20

Mary, Peter, and John come to sepulcher--Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene and his disciples--Confession of Thomas

20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher and two angels sitting thereon.

20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.

20:3 Peter, therefore, went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher.

20:4 So they ran both together; and the other disciple did outrun Peter and came first to the sepulcher.

20:5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

20:7 And the napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulcher, and he saw and believed.

20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own homes.

20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping; and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulcher,

20:12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

20:13 And they said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.

20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Hold me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.

20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things unto her.

20:19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20:20 And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.

20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost;

20:23 Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.

20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

20:25 The other disciples, therefore, said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

20:26 And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them; then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.

20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God!

20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.

20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye might have life through his name.
Chapter 21

Christ appears to disciples again and dines with them

21:1 After these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he himself.

21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They said unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

21:5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast, therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

21:7 Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea.

21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship (for they were not far from land but, as it were, two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fishes.

21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

21:10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

21:11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three; and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples after that he was risen from the dead.

21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself and walkedst whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following, which also leaned on his breast at supper and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

21:21 Peter, seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but if I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
