JOHN

Page Version
[1:1] In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
[1:2] The same was in
the beginning with God.
[1:3] All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was
made.
[1:4] In him was
life; and the life was the light of men.
[1:5] And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[1:6] There was a man
sent from God, whose name was John.
[1:7] The same came
for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through
him might believe.
[1:8] He was not that
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[1:9] That was the
true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[1:10] He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[1:11] He came unto
his own, and his own received him not.
[1:12] But as many
as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name
[1:13] Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God.
[1:14] And the Word
was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth.
[1:15] John bare
witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake,
He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for he was before
me.
[1:16] And of his
fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[1:17] For the law
was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
[1:18] No man hath
seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
[1:19] And this is
the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
[1:20] And he
confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
[1:21] And they
asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art
thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
[1:22] Then said
they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them
that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
[1:23] He said, I am
the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way
of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
[1:24] And they
which were sent were of the Pharisees.
[1:25] And they
asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be
not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
[1:26] John answered
them, saying, I baptize with water; but there standeth one among
you, whom ye know not;
[1:27] He it is, who
coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am
not worthy to unloose.
[1:28] These things
were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
[1:29] The next day
John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
[1:30] This is he of
whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me;
for he was before me.
[1:31] And I knew
him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore
am I come baptizing with water.
[1:32] And John bare
record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a
dove, and it abode upon him.
[1:33] And I knew
him not; but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said
unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and
remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy
Ghost.
[1:34] And I saw,
and bare record that this is the Son of God.
[1:35] Again the
next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
[1:36] And looking
upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
[1:37] And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
[1:38] Then Jesus
turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek
ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being
interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
[1:39] He saith unto
them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode
with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.
[1:40] One of the
two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother.
[1:41] He first
findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found
the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
[1:42] And he
brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou
art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is
by interpretation, A stone.
[1:43] The day
following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip,
and saith unto him, Follow me.
[1:44] Now Philip
was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
[1:45] Philip
findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom
Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth,
the son of Joseph.
[1:46] And Nathanael
said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
[1:47] Jesus saw
Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite
indeed, in whom is no guile!
[1:48] Nathanael
saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said
unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under
the fig tree, I saw thee.
[1:49] Nathanael
answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou
art the King of Israel.
[1:50] Jesus
answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee
under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things
than these.
[1:51] And he saith
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see
heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of man.
[2:1] And the third
day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of
Jesus was there
[2:2] And both Jesus
was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
[2:3] And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no
wine.
[2:4] Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not
yet come.
[2:5] His mother
saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
[2:6] And there were
set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the
purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
[2:7] Jesus saith
unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up
to the brim.
[2:8] And he saith
unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare it.
[2:9] When the ruler
of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew
not whence it was; (but the servants which drew the water knew;)
the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
[2:10] And saith
unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine;
and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse; but thou
hast kept the good wine until now.
[2:11] This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
[2:12] After this he
went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and
his disciples; and they continued there not many days.
[2:13] And the Jews'
passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[2:14] And found in
the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the
changers of money sitting
[2:15] And when he
had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the
temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers'
money, and overthrew the tables;
[2:16] And said unto
them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my
Father's house an house of merchandise.
[2:17] And his
disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up.
[2:18] Then answered
the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us,
seeing that thou doest these things?
[2:19] Jesus
answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up.
[2:20] Then said the
Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt
thou rear it up in three days?
[2:21] But he spake
of the temple of his body.
[2:22] When
therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered
that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture,
and the word which Jesus had said.
[2:23] Now when he
was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed
in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
[2:24] But Jesus did
not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
[2:25] And needed
not that any should testify of man; for he knew what was in man.
[3:1] There was a man
of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews
[3:2] The same came
to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou
art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles
that thou doest, except God be with him.
[3:3] Jesus answered
and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[3:4] Nicodemus saith
unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the
second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
[3:5] Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water
and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[3:6] That which is
born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit.
[3:7] Marvel not that
I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[3:8] The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is
every one that is born of the Spirit.
[3:9] Nicodemus
answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
[3:10] Jesus
answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and
knowest not these things?
[3:11] Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify
that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
[3:12] If I have
told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
[3:13] And no man
hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven,
even the Son of man which is in heaven.
[3:14] And as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of
man be lifted up
[3:15] That
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal
life.
[3:16] For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
[3:17] For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the
world through him might be saved.
[3:18] He that
believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
[3:19] And this is
the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[3:20] For every one
that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
[3:21] But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
[3:22] After these
things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and
there he tarried with them, and baptized.
[3:23] And John also
was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much
water there; and they came, and were baptized.
[3:24] For John was
not yet cast into prison.
[3:25] Then there
arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews
about purifying.
[3:26] And they came
unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond
Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth,
and all men come to him.
[3:27] John answered
and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from
heaven.
[3:28] Ye yourselves
bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am
sent before him.
[3:29] He that hath
the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom,
which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
[3:30] He must
increase, but I must decrease.
[3:31] He that
cometh from above is above all; he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth; he that cometh from heaven is
above all.
[3:32] And what he
hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his
testimony.
[3:33] He that hath
received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
[3:34] For he whom
God hath sent speaketh the words of God; for God giveth not the
Spirit by measure unto him.
[3:35] The Father
loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
[3:36] He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
him.
[4:1] When therefore
the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John,
[4:2] (Though Jesus
himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
[4:3] He left Judaea,
and departed again into Galilee.
[4:4] And he must
needs go through Samaria.
[4:5] Then cometh he
to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel
of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
[4:6] Now Jacob's
well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey,
sat thus on the well; and it was about the sixth hour.
[4:7] There cometh a
woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus saith unto her, Give me to
drink.
[4:8] (For his
disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
[4:9] Then saith the
woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew,
askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews
have no dealings with the Samaritans.
[4:10] Jesus
answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and
who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
[4:11] The woman
saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well
is deep; from whence then hast thou that living water?
[4:12] Art thou
greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank
thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
[4:13] Jesus
answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water
shall thirst again
[4:14] But whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into everlasting life.
[4:15] The woman
saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
[4:16] Jesus saith
unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
[4:17] The woman
answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou
hast well said, I have no husband
[4:18] For thou hast
had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband;
in that saidst thou truly.
[4:19] The woman
saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
[4:20] Our fathers
worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the
place where men ought to worship.
[4:21] Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall
neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the
Father.
[4:22] Ye worship ye
know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the
Jews.
[4:23] But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to
worship him.
[4:24] God is a
Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and
in truth.
[4:25] The woman
saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called
Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.
[4:26] Jesus saith
unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
[4:27] And upon this
came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman;
yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with
her?
[4:28] The woman
then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith
to the men,
[4:29] Come, see a
man, which told me all things that ever I did; is not this the
Christ?
[4:30] Then they
went out of the city, and came unto him.
[4:31] In the mean
while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
[4:32] But he said
unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
[4:33] Therefore
said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought
to eat?
[4:34] Jesus saith
unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to
finish his work.
[4:35] Say not ye,
There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say
unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are
white already to harvest.
[4:36] And he that
reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal;
that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice
together.
[4:37] And herein is
that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
[4:38] I sent you to
reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour; other men laboured, and
ye are entered into their labours.
[4:39] And many of
the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the
woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
[4:40] So when the
Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would
tarry with them; and he abode there two days.
[4:41] And many more
believed because of his own word;
[4:42] And said unto
the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have
heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the
Saviour of the world.
[4:43] Now after two
days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
[4:44] For Jesus
himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own
country.
[4:45] Then when he
was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen
all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast; for they
also went unto the feast.
[4:46] So Jesus came
again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And
there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
[4:47] When he heard
that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him,
and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for
he was at the point of death.
[4:48] Then said
Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not
believe.
[4:49] The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
[4:50] Jesus saith
unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the
word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
[4:51] And as he was
now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy
son liveth.
[4:52] Then enquired
he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto
him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
[4:53] So the father
knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto
him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.
[4:54] This is again
the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea
into Galilee.
[5:1] After this
there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
[5:2] Now there is at
Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the
Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
[5:3] In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water.
[5:4] For an angel
went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the
water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water
stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
[5:5] And a certain
man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
[5:6] When Jesus saw
him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case,
he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
[5:7] The impotent
man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled,
to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth
down before me.
[5:8] Jesus saith
unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
[5:9] And immediately
the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked; and on
the same day was the sabbath.
[5:10] The Jews
therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day; it
is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
[5:11] He answered
them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy
bed, and walk.
[5:12] Then asked
they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed,
and walk?
[5:13] And he that
was healed wist not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself
away, a multitude being in that place.
[5:14] Afterward
Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou
art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
[5:15] The man
departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him
whole.
[5:16] And therefore
did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he
had done these things on the sabbath day.
[5:17] But Jesus
answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
[5:18] Therefore the
Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken
the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making
himself equal with God.
[5:19] Then answered
Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son
can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do; for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
[5:20] For the
Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself
doeth; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may
marvel.
[5:21] For as the
Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will.
[5:22] For the
Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son
[5:23] That all men
should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that
honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent
him.
[5:24] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on
him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
[5:25] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the
dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear
shall live.
[5:26] For as the
Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have
life in himself;
[5:27] And hath
given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the
Son of man.
[5:28] Marvel not at
this; for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice,
[5:29] And shall
come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of
life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
damnation.
[5:30] I can of mine
own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father
which hath sent me.
[5:31] If I bear
witness of myself, my witness is not true.
[5:32] There is
another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness
which he witnesseth of me is true.
[5:33] Ye sent unto
John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
[5:34] But I receive
not testimony from man; but these things I say, that ye might be
saved.
[5:35] He was a
burning and a shining light; and ye were willing for a season to
rejoice in his light.
[5:36] But I have
greater witness than that of John; for the works which the Father
hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness
of me, that the Father hath sent me.
[5:37] And the
Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye
have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
[5:38] And ye have
not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye
believe not.
[5:39] Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they
are they which testify of me.
[5:40] And ye will
not come to me, that ye might have life.
[5:41] I receive not
honour from men.
[5:42] But I know
you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
[5:43] I am come in
my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in
his own name, him ye will receive.
[5:44] How can ye
believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the
honour that cometh from God only?
[5:45] Do not think
that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth
you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
[5:46] For had ye
believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
[5:47] But if ye
believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
[6:1] After these
things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of
Tiberias.
[6:2] And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he
did on them that were diseased.
[6:3] And Jesus went
up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
[6:4] And the
passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
[6:5] When Jesus then
lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he
saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
[6:6] And this he
said to prove him; for he himself knew what he would do.
[6:7] Philip answered
him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them,
that every one of them may take a little.
[6:8] One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
[6:9] There is a lad
here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but
what are they among so many?
[6:10] And Jesus
said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
[6:11] And Jesus
took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to
the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and
likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
[6:12] When they
were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments
that remain, that nothing be lost.
[6:13] Therefore
they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and
above unto them that had eaten.
[6:14] Then those
men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is
of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
[6:15] When Jesus
therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force,
to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself
alone.
[6:16] And when even
was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
[6:17] And entered
into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was
now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
[6:18] And the sea
arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
[6:19] So when they
had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see
Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship; and
they were afraid.
[6:20] But he saith
unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
[6:21] Then they
willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship
was at the land whither they went.
[6:22] The day
following, when the people which stood on the other side of the
sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one
whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not
with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were
[6:23] (Howbeit
there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where
they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks)
[6:24] When the
people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his
disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum,
seeking for Jesus.
[6:25] And when they
had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him,
Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
[6:26] Jesus
answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek
me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of
the loaves, and were filled.
[6:27] Labour not
for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth
unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you;
for him hath God the Father sealed.
[6:28] Then said
they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of
God?
[6:29] Jesus
answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye
believe on him whom he hath sent.
[6:30] They said
therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see,
and believe thee? what dost thou work?
[6:31] Our fathers
did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread
from heaven to eat.
[6:32] Then Jesus
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you
not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true
bread from heaven.
[6:33] For the bread
of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto
the world.
[6:34] Then said
they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
[6:35] And Jesus
said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never
thirst.
[6:36] But I said
unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
[6:37] All that the
Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I
will in no wise cast out.
[6:38] For I came
down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me.
[6:39] And this is
the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath
given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at
the last day.
[6:40] And this is
the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise
him up at the last day.
[6:41] The Jews then
murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down
from heaven.
[6:42] And they
said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and
mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from
heaven?
[6:43] Jesus
therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves.
[6:44] No man can
come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him; and I
will raise him up at the last day.
[6:45] It is written
in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man
therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh
unto me.
[6:46] Not that any
man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen
the Father.
[6:47] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting
life.
[6:48] I am that
bread of life.
[6:49] Your fathers
did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
[6:50] This is the
bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof,
and not die.
[6:51] I am the
living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is
my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
[6:52] The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give
us his flesh to eat?
[6:53] Then Jesus
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the
flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in
you.
[6:54] Whoso eateth
my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will
raise him up at the last day.
[6:55] For my flesh
is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
[6:56] He that
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in
him.
[6:57] As the living
Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth
me, even he shall live by me.
[6:58] This is that
bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers did eat
manna, and are dead; he that eateth of this bread shall live for
ever.
[6:59] These things
said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
[6:60] Many
therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This
is an hard saying; who can hear it?
[6:61] When Jesus
knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto
them, Doth this offend you?
[6:62] What and if
ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
[6:63] It is the
spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
[6:64] But there are
some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning
who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
[6:65] And he said,
Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except
it were given unto him of my Father.
[6:66] From that
time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with
him.
[6:67] Then said
Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
[6:68] Then Simon
Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life.
[6:69] And we
believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the
living God.
[6:70] Jesus
answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a
devil?
[6:71] He spake of
Judas Iscariot the son of Simon; for he it was that should betray
him, being one of the twelve.
[7:1] After these
things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Jewry,
because the Jews sought to kill him.
[7:2] Now the Jews'
feast of tabernacles was at hand.
[7:3] His brethren
therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that
thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
[7:4] For there is no
man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be
known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
[7:5] For neither did
his brethren believe in him.
[7:6] Then Jesus said
unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is alway ready.
[7:7] The world
cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that
the works thereof are evil.
[7:8] Go ye up unto
this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not
yet full come.
[7:9] When he had
said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
[7:10] But when his
brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not
openly, but as it were in secret.
[7:11] Then the Jews
sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
[7:12] And there was
much murmuring among the people concerning him; for some said, He
is a good man; others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
[7:13] Howbeit no
man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
[7:14] Now about the
midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
[7:15] And the Jews
marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never
learned?
[7:16] Jesus
answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that
sent me.
[7:17] If any man
will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of
God, or whether I speak of myself.
[7:18] He that
speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh
his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness
is in him.
[7:19] Did not Moses
give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye
about to kill me?
[7:20] The people
answered and said, Thou hast a devil; who goeth about to kill
thee?
[7:21] Jesus
answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all
marvel.
[7:22] Moses
therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of
Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise
a man.
[7:23] If a man on
the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses
should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a
man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
[7:24] Judge not
according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
[7:25] Then said
some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to
kill?
[7:26] But, lo, he
speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers
know indeed that this is the very Christ?
[7:27] Howbeit we
know this man whence he is; but when Christ cometh, no man
knoweth whence he is.
[7:28] Then cried
Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye
know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent
me is true, whom ye know not.
[7:29] But I know
him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
[7:30] Then they
sought to take him; but no man laid hands on him, because his
hour was not yet come.
[7:31] And many of
the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he
do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
[7:32] The Pharisees
heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and
the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
[7:33] Then said
Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go
unto him that sent me.
[7:34] Ye shall seek
me, and shall not find me; and where I am, thither ye cannot
come.
[7:35] Then said the
Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find
him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach
the Gentiles?
[7:36] What manner
of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not
find me; and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
[7:37] In the last
day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
[7:38] He that
believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.
[7:39] (But this
spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should
receive; for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus
was not yet glorified.)
[7:40] Many of the
people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth
this is the Prophet.
[7:41] Others said,
This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of
Galilee?
[7:42] Hath not the
scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out
of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
[7:43] So there was
a division among the people because of him.
[7:44] And some of
them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
[7:45] Then came the
officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto
them, Why have ye not brought him?
[7:46] The officers
answered, Never man spake like this man.
[7:47] Then answered
them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
[7:48] Have any of
the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
[7:49] But this
people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
[7:50] Nicodemus
saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of
them,)
[7:51] Doth our law
judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
[7:52] They answered
and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look;
for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
[7:53] And every man
went unto his own house.
[8:1] Jesus went unto
the mount of Olives.
[8:2] And early in
the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people
came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
[8:3] And the scribes
and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and
when they had set her in the midst,
[8:4] They say unto
him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
[8:5] Now Moses in
the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest
thou?
[8:6] This they said,
tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus
stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though
he heard them not.
[8:7] So when they
continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at
her.
[8:8] And again he
stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
[8:9] And they which
heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one
by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last; and Jesus
was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
[8:10] When Jesus
had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto
her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned
thee?
[8:11] She said, No
man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee;
go, and sin no more.
[8:12] Then spake
Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he
that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the
light of life.
[8:13] The Pharisees
therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy
record is not true.
[8:14] Jesus
answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet
my record is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go;
but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
[8:15] Ye judge
after the flesh; I judge no man.
[8:16] And yet if I
judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the
Father that sent me.
[8:17] It is also
written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
[8:18] I am one that
bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth
witness of me.
[8:19] Then said
they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither
know me, nor my Father; if ye had known me, ye should have known
my Father also.
[8:20] These words
spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; and no
man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
[8:21] Then said
Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and
shall die in your sins; whither I go, ye cannot come.
[8:22] Then said the
Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye
cannot come.
[8:23] And he said
unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above; ye are of this
world; I am not of this world.
[8:24] I said
therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
[8:25] Then said
they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the
same that I said unto you from the beginning.
[8:26] I have many
things to say and to judge of you; but he that sent me is true;
and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
[8:27] They
understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
[8:28] Then said
Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then
shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but
as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
[8:29] And he that
sent me is with me; the Father hath not left me alone; for I do
always those things that please him.
[8:30] As he spake
these words, many believed on him.
[8:31] Then said
Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
[8:32] And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
[8:33] They answered
him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man;
how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
[8:34] Jesus
answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin.
[8:35] And the
servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the Son abideth
ever.
[8:36] If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
[8:37] I know that
ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word
hath no place in you.
[8:38] I speak that
which I have seen with my Father; and ye do that which ye have
seen with your father.
[8:39] They answered
and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them,
If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
[8:40] But now ye
seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have
heard of God; this did not Abraham.
[8:41] Ye do the
deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God.
[8:42] Jesus said
unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I
proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but
he sent me.
[8:43] Why do ye not
understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
[8:44] Ye are of
your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father
[8:45] And because I
tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
[8:46] Which of you
convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not
believe me?
[8:47] He that is of
God heareth God's words; ye therefore hear them not, because ye
are not of God.
[8:48] Then answered
the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?
[8:49] Jesus
answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do
dishonour me.
[8:50] And I seek
not mine own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
[8:51] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never
see death.
[8:52] Then said the
Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is
dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never taste of death.
[8:53] Art thou
greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets
are dead; whom makest thou thyself?
[8:54] Jesus
answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing; it is my
Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God
[8:55] Yet ye have
not known him; but I know him; and if I should say, I know him
not, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I know him, and keep
his saying.
[8:56] Your father
Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
[8:57] Then said the
Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou
seen Abraham?
[8:58] Jesus said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I
am.
[8:59] Then took
they up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went
out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed
by.
[9:1] And as Jesus
passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
[9:2] And his
disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or
his parents, that he was born blind?
[9:3] Jesus answered,
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works
of God should be made manifest in him.
[9:4] I must work the
works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh,
when no man can work.
[9:5] As long as I am
in the world, I am the light of the world.
[9:6] When he had
thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle,
and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
[9:7] And said unto
him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation,
Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
[9:8] The neighbours
therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind,
said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
[9:9] Some said, This
is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.
[9:10] Therefore
said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
[9:11] He answered
and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine
eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I
went and washed, and I received sight.
[9:12] Then said
they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
[9:13] They brought
to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
[9:14] And it was
the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
[9:15] Then again
the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He
said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do
see.
[9:16] Therefore
said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he
keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a
sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
[9:17] They say unto
the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened
thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
[9:18] But the Jews
did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and
received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had
received his sight.
[9:19] And they
asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind?
how then doth he now see?
[9:20] His parents
answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he
was born blind
[9:21] But by what
means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we
know not; he is of age; ask him; he shall speak for himself.
[9:22] These words
spake his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had
agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ,
he should be put out of the synagogue.
[9:23] Therefore
said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
[9:24] Then again
called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God
the praise; we know that this man is a sinner.
[9:25] He answered
and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not; one thing I
know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
[9:26] Then said
they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
[9:27] He answered
them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear; wherefore
would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
[9:28] Then they
reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses'
disciples.
[9:29] We know that
God spake unto Moses; as for this fellow, we know not from whence
he is.
[9:30] The man
answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing,
that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine
eyes.
[9:31] Now we know
that God heareth not sinners; but if any man be a worshipper of
God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
[9:32] Since the
world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one
that was born blind.
[9:33] If this man
were not of God, he could do nothing.
[9:34] They answered
and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost
thou teach us? And they cast him out.
[9:35] Jesus heard
that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said
unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
[9:36] He answered
and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
[9:37] And Jesus
said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh
with thee.
[9:38] And he said,
Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
[9:39] And Jesus
said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see
not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
[9:40] And some of
the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said
unto him, Are we blind also?
[9:41] Jesus said
unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now ye
say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
[10:1] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the
sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief
and a robber.
[10:2] But he that
entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
[10:3] To him the
porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his
own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
[10:4] And when he
putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep
follow him; for they know his voice.
[10:5] And a
stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they
know not the voice of strangers.
[10:6] This parable
spake Jesus unto them; but they understood not what things they
were which he spake unto them.
[10:7] Then said
Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the
door of the sheep.
[10:8] All that ever
came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not
hear them.
[10:9] I am the
door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go
in and out, and find pasture.
[10:10] The thief
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am
come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.
[10:11] I am the
good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
[10:12] But he that
is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are
not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth;
and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
[10:13] The
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for
the sheep.
[10:14] I am the
good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
[10:15] As the
Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father; and I lay down my
life for the sheep.
[10:16] And other
sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and
one shepherd.
[10:17] Therefore
doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might
take it again.
[10:18] No man
taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to
lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment
have I received of my Father.
[10:19] There was a
division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
[10:20] And many of
them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
[10:21] Others
said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a
devil open the eyes of the blind?
[10:22] And it was
at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
[10:23] And Jesus
walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
[10:24] Then came
the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou
make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
[10:25] Jesus
answered them, I told you, and ye believed not; the works that I
do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
[10:26] But ye
believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
[10:27] My sheep
hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me
[10:28] And I give
unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
[10:29] My Father,
which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to
pluck them out of my Father's hand.
[10:30] I and my
Father are one.
[10:31] Then the
Jews took up stones again to stone him.
[10:32] Jesus
answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;
for which of those works do ye stone me?
[10:33] The Jews
answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself
God.
[10:34] Jesus
answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are
gods?
[10:35] If he
called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken;
[10:36] Say ye of
him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world,
Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
[10:37] If I do not
the works of my Father, believe me not.
[10:38] But if I
do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may
know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
[10:39] Therefore
they sought again to take him; but he escaped out of their hand,
[10:40] And went
away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first
baptized; and there he abode.
[10:41] And many
resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle; but all things
that John spake of this man were true.
[10:42] And many
believed on him there.
[11:1] Now a certain
man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her
sister Martha.
[11:2] (It was that
Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet
with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
[11:3] Therefore his
sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest
is sick.
[11:4] When Jesus
heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the
glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
[11:5] Now Jesus
loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
[11:6] When he had
heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the
same place where he was.
[11:7] Then after
that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
[11:8] His disciples
say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and
goest thou thither again?
[11:9] Jesus
answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk
in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this
world.
[11:10] But if a
man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in
him.
[11:11] These
things said he; and after that he saith unto them, Our friend
Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
[11:12] Then said
his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
[11:13] Howbeit
Jesus spake of his death; but they thought that he had spoken of
taking of rest in sleep.
[11:14] Then said
Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
[11:15] And I am
glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may
believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
[11:16] Then said
Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us
also go, that we may die with him.
[11:17] Then when
Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days
already.
[11:18] Now Bethany
was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off
[11:19] And many of
the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning
their brother.
[11:20] Then
Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met
him; but Mary sat still in the house.
[11:21] Then said
Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had
not died.
[11:22] But I know,
that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it
thee.
[11:23] Jesus saith
unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
[11:24] Martha
saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
[11:25] Jesus said
unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth
in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live
[11:26] And
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest
thou this?
[11:27] She saith
unto him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son
of God, which should come into the world.
[11:28] And when
she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
[11:29] As soon as
she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
[11:30] Now Jesus
was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where
Martha met him.
[11:31] The Jews
then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when
they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed
her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
[11:32] Then when
Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his
feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother
had not died.
[11:33] When Jesus
therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came
with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
[11:34] And said,
Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
[11:35] Jesus wept.
[11:36] Then said
the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
[11:37] And some of
them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the
blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
[11:38] Jesus
therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a
cave, and a stone lay upon it.
[11:39] Jesus said,
Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead,
saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh; for he hath been
dead four days.
[11:40] Jesus saith
unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of God?
[11:41] Then they
took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that
thou hast heard me.
[11:42] And I knew
that thou hearest me always; but because of the people which
stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
[11:43] And when he
thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
[11:44] And he that
was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and
his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them,
Loose him, and let him go.
[11:45] Then many
of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which
Jesus did, believed on him.
[11:46] But some of
them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things
Jesus had done.
[11:47] Then
gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said,
What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
[11:48] If we let
him thus alone, all men will believe on him; and the Romans shall
come and take away both our place and nation.
[11:49] And one of
them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said
unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
[11:50] Nor
consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for
the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
[11:51] And this
spake he not of himself; but being high priest that year, he
prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
[11:52] And not for
that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one
the children of God that were scattered abroad.
[11:53] Then from
that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to
death.
[11:54] Jesus
therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence
unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called
Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
[11:55] And the
Jews' passover was nigh at hand; and many went out of the country
up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
[11:56] Then sought
they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the
temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
[11:57] Now both
the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment,
that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they
might take him.
[12:1] Then Jesus
six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was
which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
[12:2] There they
made him a supper; and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them
that sat at the table with him.
[12:3] Then took
Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed
the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the
house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
[12:4] Then saith
one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should
betray him,
[12:5] Why was not
this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the
poor?
[12:6] This he said,
not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and
had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
[12:7] Then said
Jesus, Let her alone; against the day of my burying hath she kept
this.
[12:8] For the poor
always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
[12:9] Much people
of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came not
for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom
he had raised from the dead.
[12:10] But the
chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to
death;
[12:11] Because
that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on
Jesus.
[12:12] On the next
day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that
Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
[12:13] Took
branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried,
Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of
the Lord.
[12:14] And Jesus,
when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
[12:15] Fear not,
daughter of Sion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's
colt.
[12:16] These
things understood not his disciples at the first; but when Jesus
was glorified, then remembered they that these things were
written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
[12:17] The people
therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his
grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
[12:18] For this
cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had
done this miracle.
[12:19] The
Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye
prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
[12:20] And there
were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
feast
[12:21] The same
came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and
desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
[12:22] Philip
cometh and telleth Andrew; and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
[12:23] And Jesus
answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man
should be glorified.
[12:24] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth
forth much fruit.
[12:25] He that
loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[12:26] If any man
serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my
servant be; if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
[12:27] Now is my
soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this
hour; but for this cause came I unto this hour.
[12:28] Father,
glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I
have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
[12:29] The people
therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered;
others said, An angel spake to him.
[12:30] Jesus
answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for
your sakes.
[12:31] Now is the
judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be
cast out.
[12:32] And I, if I
be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
[12:33] This he
said, signifying what death he should die.
[12:34] The people
answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth
for ever; and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up?
who is this Son of man?
[12:35] Then Jesus
said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk
while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
[12:36] While ye
have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of
light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide
himself from them.
[12:37] But though
he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not
on him
[12:38] That the
saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake,
Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of
the Lord been revealed?
[12:39] Therefore
they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
[12:40] He hath
blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should
not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be
converted, and I should heal them.
[12:41] These
things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
[12:42]
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him;
but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they
should be put out of the synagogue
[12:43] For they
loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
[12:44] Jesus cried
and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on
him that sent me.
[12:45] And he that
seeth me seeth him that sent me.
[12:46] I am come a
light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not
abide in darkness.
[12:47] And if any
man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came
not to judge the world, but to save the world.
[12:48] He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth
him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the
last day.
[12:49] For I have
not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a
commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
[12:50] And I know
that his commandment is life everlasting; whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
[13:1] Now before
the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come
that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having
loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the
end.
[13:2] And supper
being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
[13:3] Jesus knowing
that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he
was come from God, and went to God;
[13:4] He riseth
from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and
girded himself.
[13:5] After that he
poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples'
feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
[13:6] Then cometh
he to Simon Peter; and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash
my feet?
[13:7] Jesus
answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt know hereafter.
[13:8] Peter saith
unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
[13:9] Simon Peter
saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my
head.
[13:10] Jesus saith
to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but
is clean every whit; and ye are clean, but not all.
[13:11] For he knew
who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
[13:12] So after he
had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set
down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
[13:13] Ye call me
Master and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am.
[13:14] If I then,
your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one another's feet.
[13:15] For I have
given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
[13:16] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord;
neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
[13:17] If ye know
these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
[13:18] I speak not
of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the scripture may
be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his
heel against me.
[13:19] Now I tell
you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe
that I am he.
[13:20] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent
me.
[13:21] When Jesus
had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall
betray me.
[13:22] Then the
disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
[13:23] Now there
was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus
loved.
[13:24] Simon Peter
therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of
whom he spake.
[13:25] He then
lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
[13:26] Jesus
answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have
dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon.
[13:27] And after
the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That
thou doest, do quickly.
[13:28] Now no man
at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
[13:29] For some of
them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto
him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or,
that he should give something to the poor.
[13:30] He then
having received the sop went immediately out; and it was night.
[13:31] Therefore,
when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man
glorified, and God is glorified in him.
[13:32] If God be
glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and
shall straightway glorify him.
[13:33] Little
children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and
as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I
say to you.
[13:34] A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.
[13:35] By this
shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one
to another.
[13:36] Simon Peter
said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him,
Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow
me afterwards.
[13:37] Peter said
unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my
life for thy sake.
[13:38] Jesus
answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast
denied me thrice.
[14:1] Let not your
heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[14:2] In my
Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[14:3] And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
[14:4] And whither I
go ye know, and the way ye know.
[14:5] Thomas saith
unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we
know the way?
[14:6] Jesus saith
unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
[14:7] If ye had
known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[14:8] Philip saith
unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[14:9] Jesus saith
unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou
not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
[14:10] Believest
thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words
that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that
dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
[14:11] Believe me
that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me
for the very works' sake.
[14:12] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I
do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father.
[14:13] And
whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son.
[14:14] If ye shall
ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
[14:15] If ye love
me, keep my commandments.
[14:16] And I will
pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he
may abide with you for ever;
[14:17] Even the
Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth
him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
[14:18] I will not
leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
[14:19] Yet a
little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me;
because I live, ye shall live also.
[14:20] At that day
ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
[14:21] He that
hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me;
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will
love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[14:22] Judas saith
unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest
thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[14:23] Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
[14:24] He that
loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; and the word which ye hear
is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
[14:25] These
things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
[14:26] But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in
my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
[14:27] Peace I
leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid.
[14:28] Ye have
heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If
ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the
Father; for my Father is greater than I.
[14:29] And now I
have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe.
[14:30] Hereafter I
will not talk much with you; for the prince of this world cometh,
and hath nothing in me.
[14:31] But that
the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave
me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
[15:1] I am the true
vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[15:2] Every branch
in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch
that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more
fruit.
[15:3] Now ye are
clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
[15:4] Abide in me,
and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except
it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
[15:5] I am the
vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do
nothing.
[15:6] If a man
abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered;
and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are
burned.
[15:7] If ye abide
in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
it shall be done unto you.
[15:8] Herein is my
Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
disciples.
[15:9] As the Father
hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue ye in my love.
[15:10] If ye keep
my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept
my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
[15:11] These
things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full.
[15:12] This is my
commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[15:13] Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
[15:14] Ye are my
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[15:15] Henceforth
I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his
lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things that I
have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
[15:16] Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should
remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you.
[15:17] These
things I command you, that ye love one another.
[15:18] If the
world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
[15:19] If ye were
of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are
not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you.
[15:20] Remember
the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than
his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute
you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
[15:21] But all
these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because
they know not him that sent me.
[15:22] If I had
not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they
have no cloke for their sin.
[15:23] He that
hateth me hateth my Father also.
[15:24] If I had
not done among them the works which none other man did, they had
not had sin; but now have they both seen and hated both me and my
Father.
[15:25] But this
cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written
in their law, They hated me without a cause.
[15:26] But when
the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he
shall testify of me
[15:27] And ye also
shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the
beginning.
[16:1] These things
have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
[16:2] They shall
put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
[16:3] And these
things will they do unto you, because they have not known the
Father, nor me.
[16:4] But these
things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may
remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not
unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
[16:5] But now I go
my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither
goest thou?
[16:6] But because I
have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
[16:7] Nevertheless
I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away; for
if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I
depart, I will send him unto you.
[16:8] And when he
is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment
[16:9] Of sin,
because they believe not on me;
[16:10] Of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[16:11] Of
judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
[16:12] I have yet
many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[16:13] Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all
truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come.
[16:14] He shall
glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto
you.
[16:15] All things
that the Father hath are mine; therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
[16:16] A little
while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye
shall see me, because I go to the Father.
[16:17] Then said
some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he
saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me; and, Because I go to
the Father?
[16:18] They said
therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot
tell what he saith.
[16:19] Now Jesus
knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do
ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and
ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see
me?
[16:20] Verily,
verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the
world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow
shall be turned into joy.
[16:21] A woman
when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but
as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more
the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
[16:22] And ye now
therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart
shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
[16:23] And in that
day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it
you.
[16:24] Hitherto
have ye asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full.
[16:25] These
things have I spoken unto you in proverbs; but the time cometh,
when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew
you plainly of the Father.
[16:26] At that day
ye shall ask in my name; and I say not unto you, that I will pray
the Father for you
[16:27] For the
Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God.
[16:28] I came
forth from the Father, and am come into the world; again, I leave
the world, and go to the Father.
[16:29] His
disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and
speakest no proverb.
[16:30] Now are we
sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man
should ask thee; by this we believe that thou camest forth from
God.
[16:31] Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe?
[16:32] Behold, the
hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every
man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with me.
[16:33] These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In
the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world.
[17:1] These words
spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father,
the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify
thee
[17:2] As thou hast
given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life
to as many as thou hast given him.
[17:3] And this is
life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
[17:4] I have
glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou
gavest me to do.
[17:5] And now, O
Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which
I had with thee before the world was.
[17:6] I have
manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the
world; thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have
kept thy word.
[17:7] Now they have
known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
[17:8] For I have
given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have
received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me.
[17:9] I pray for
them; I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast
given me; for they are thine.
[17:10] And all
mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
[17:11] And now I
am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come
to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou
hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
[17:12] While I was
with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those that thou
gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
[17:13] And now
come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they
might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
[17:14] I have
given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they
are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17:15] I pray not
that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou
shouldest keep them from the evil.
[17:16] They are
not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17:17] Sanctify
them through thy truth; thy word is truth.
[17:18] As thou
hast sent me into t
