                               CHAPTER 15

 JOH 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye
be my disciples.
 JOH 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my
love.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in
you, and that your joy might be full.
 JOH 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved
you.
 JOH 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.
 JOH 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
 JOH 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake,
because they know not him that sent me.
 JOH 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but
now they have no cloak for their sin.
 JOH 15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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:
 JOH 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from
the beginning.


                              CHAPTER 16

 JOH 16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known
the Father, nor me.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me,
Whither goest thou?
 JOH 16:6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled
your heart.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
 JOH 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
 JOH 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
 JOH 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
 JOH 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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?
 JOH 16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we
cannot tell what he saith.
 JOH 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?
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
receive, that your joy may be full.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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:
 JOH 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and
have believed that I came out from God.
 JOH 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I
leave the world, and go to the Father.
 JOH 16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and
speakest no proverb.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
 JOH 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.
 JOH 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.


                               CHAPTER 17

 JOH 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:
 JOH 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.
 JOH 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
 JOH 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which
thou gavest me to do.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are
of thee.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou
hast given me; for they are thine.
 JOH 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in
them.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 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.
 JOH 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that
thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
 JOH 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
 JOH 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
 JOH 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them
into the world.
 JOH 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be
sanctified through the truth.
 JOH 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word;
 JOH 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me.
 JOH 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may
be one, even as we are one:
 JOH 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and
that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou
hast loved me.
 JOH 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me
where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou
lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
 JOH 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known
thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
 JOH 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that
the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.


                               CHAPTER 18

 JOH 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples
over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his
disciples.
 JOH 18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus
ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
 JOH 18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief
priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
 JOH 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went
forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
 JOH 18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
 JOH 18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward,
and fell to the ground.
 JOH 18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of
Nazareth.
 JOH 18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek
me, let these go their way:
 JOH 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which
thou gavest me have I lost none.
 JOH 18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's
servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
 JOH 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the
cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
 JOH 18:12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus,
and bound him,
 JOH 18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to
Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
 JOH 18:14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was
expedient that one man should die for the people.
 JOH 18:15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that
disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace
of the high priest.
 JOH 18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other
disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept
the door, and brought in Peter.
 JOH 18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou
also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
 JOH 18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of
coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them,
and warmed himself.
 JOH 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
doctrine.
 JOH 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in
the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret
have I said nothing.
 JOH 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto
them: behold, they know what I said.
 JOH 18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by
struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest
so?
 JOH 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil:
but if well, why smitest thou me?
 JOH 18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
 JOH 18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto
him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
 JOH 18:26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear
Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
 JOH 18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
 JOH 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it
was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they
should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
 JOH 18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye
against this man?
 JOH 18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we
would not have delivered him up unto thee.
 JOH 18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to
your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any
man to death:
 JOH 18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
signifying what death he should die.
 JOH 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus,
and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
 JOH 18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others
tell it thee of me?
 JOH 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
 JOH 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were
of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to
the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
 JOH 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every
one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
 JOH 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he
went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at
all.
 JOH 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
 JOH 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.


                              CHAPTER 19

 JOH 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
 JOH 19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head,
and they put on him a purple robe,
 JOH 19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their
hands.
 JOH 19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I
bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
 JOH 19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple
robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
 JOH 19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried
out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and
crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
 JOH 19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the Son of God.
 JOH 19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
 JOH 19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence
art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
 JOH 19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou
not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
 JOH 19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me,
except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee
hath the greater sin.
 JOH 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews
cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend:
whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
 JOH 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and
sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in
the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
 JOH 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth
hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
 JOH 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,
We have no king but Caesar.
 JOH 19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they
took Jesus, and led him away.
 JOH 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of
a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
 JOH 19:18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side
one, and Jesus in the midst.
 JOH 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing
was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
 JOH 19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and
Latin.
 JOH 19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The
King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
 JOH 19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
 JOH 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments,
and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat
was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
 JOH 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast
lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which
saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast
lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
 JOH 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
 JOH 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by,
whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
 JOH 19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour
that disciple took her unto his own home.
 JOH 19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
 JOH 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
 JOH 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
 JOH 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was
an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they
might be taken away.
 JOH 19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him.
 JOH 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they
brake not his legs:
 JOH 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
 JOH 19:35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
 JOH 19:36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled,
A bone of him shall not be broken.
 JOH 19:37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they
pierced.
 JOH 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body
of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of
Jesus.
 JOH 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by
night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
 JOH 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
 JOH 19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in
the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
 JOH 19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation
day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.


                              CHAPTER 20

 JOH 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was
yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the
sepulchre.
 JOH 20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD
out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
 JOH 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre.
 JOH 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter,
and came first to the sepulchre.
 JOH 20:5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying;
yet went he not in.
 JOH 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie,
 JOH 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen
clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
 JOH 20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the
sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
 JOH 20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from
the dead.
 JOH 20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
 JOH 20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept,
she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
 JOH 20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the
other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
 JOH 20:13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them,
Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
 JOH 20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
 JOH 20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?
She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne
him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
 JOH 20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him,
Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
 JOH 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my
Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and
your Father; and to my God, and your God.
 JOH 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the
LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
 JOH 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when
the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,
came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
 JOH 20:20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side.
Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.
 JOH 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath
sent me, even so send I you.
 JOH 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
 JOH 20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose
soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
 JOH 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them
when Jesus came.
 JOH 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD.
But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his
side, I will not believe.
 JOH 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas
with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and
said, Peace be unto you.
 JOH 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not
faithless, but believing.
 JOH 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
 JOH 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
 JOH 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written in this book:
 JOH 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.


                              CHAPTER 21

 JOH 21:1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
 JOH 21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his
disciples.
 JOH 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We
also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and
that night they caught nothing.
 JOH 21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
 JOH 21:5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered
him, No.
 JOH 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship,
and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it
for the multitude of fishes.
 JOH 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the
Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's
coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
 JOH 21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far
from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
 JOH 21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals
there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
 JOH 21:10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
 JOH 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes,
an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the
net broken.
 JOH 21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples
durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
 JOH 21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
likewise.
 JOH 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
 JOH 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou
knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
 JOH 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my sheep.
 JOH 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love
thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
 JOH 21:18 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.
 JOH 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And
when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
 JOH 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is
he that betrayeth thee?
 JOH 21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
 JOH 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
that to thee? follow thou me.
 JOH 21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will
that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
 JOH 21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote
these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
 JOH 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could
not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
