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