CHAPTER 8 JOH 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. JOH 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. JOH 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, JOH 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. JOH 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. JOH 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. JOH 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? JOH 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. JOH 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. JOH 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. JOH 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. JOH 8:15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. JOH 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. JOH 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. JOH 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. JOH 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; JOH 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. JOH 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? JOH 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. JOH 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. JOH 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. JOH 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. JOH 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. JOH 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. JOH 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. JOH 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? JOH 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. JOH 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? JOH 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. JOH 8:50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. JOH 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. JOH 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. JOH 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? JOH 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: JOH 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. JOH 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. JOH 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? JOH 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. JOH 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. CHAPTER 9 JOH 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. JOH 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? JOH 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. JOH 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. JOH 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. JOH 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, JOH 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. JOH 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? JOH 9:9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. JOH 9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? JOH 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. JOH 9:12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. JOH 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. JOH 9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? JOH 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? JOH 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? JOH 9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. JOH 9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. JOH 9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. JOH 9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. JOH 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? JOH 9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? JOH 9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. JOH 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. JOH 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. JOH 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? JOH 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. CHAPTER 10 JOH 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. JOH 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. JOH 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. JOH 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. JOH 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. JOH 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. JOH 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. JOH 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. JOH 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. JOH 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. JOH 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. JOH 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. JOH 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. JOH 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. JOH 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. JOH 10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. JOH 10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? JOH 10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? JOH 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. JOH 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. JOH 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: JOH 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. JOH 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. JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one. JOH 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. JOH 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? JOH 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. JOH 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? JOH 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; JOH 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? JOH 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. JOH 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. JOH 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, JOH 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. JOH 10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. JOH 10:42 And many believed on him there. CHAPTER 11 JOH 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. JOH 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) JOH 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. JOH 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. JOH 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. JOH 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. JOH 11:7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. JOH 11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? JOH 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. JOH 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. JOH 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. JOH 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. JOH 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. JOH 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. JOH 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. JOH 11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. JOH 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. JOH 11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: JOH 11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. JOH 11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. JOH 11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. JOH 11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. JOH 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. JOH 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. JOH 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: JOH 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. JOH 11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. JOH 11:35 Jesus wept. JOH 11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! JOH 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? JOH 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. JOH 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. JOH 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. JOH 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. JOH 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. JOH 11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. JOH 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. JOH 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. JOH 11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, JOH 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. JOH 11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; JOH 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. JOH 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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? JOH 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. CHAPTER 12 JOH 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. JOH 12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. JOH 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. JOH 12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, JOH 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? JOH 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. JOH 12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. JOH 12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. JOH 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. JOH 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; JOH 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. JOH 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, JOH 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. JOH 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, JOH 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. JOH 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. JOH 12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: JOH 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. JOH 12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. JOH 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. JOH 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. JOH 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. JOH 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. JOH 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. JOH 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. JOH 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? JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: JOH 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? JOH 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, JOH 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. JOH 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. JOH 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: JOH 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. JOH 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. JOH 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. JOH 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. CHAPTER 13 JOH 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. JOH 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; JOH 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; JOH 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. JOH 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. JOH 13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? JOH 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. JOH 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. JOH 13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. JOH 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. JOH 13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. JOH 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? JOH 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. JOH 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. JOH 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. JOH 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. JOH 13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. JOH 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. JOH 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. JOH 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. JOH 13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. JOH 13:25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? JOH 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. JOH 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. JOH 13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. JOH 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. JOH 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. JOH 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. JOH 13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. JOH 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. JOH 13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. JOH 13:38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. CHAPTER 14 JOH 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. JOH 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? JOH 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. JOH 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. JOH 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. JOH 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? JOH 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. JOH 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. JOH 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. JOH 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. JOH 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. JOH 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. JOH 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; JOH 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. JOH 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. JOH 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. JOH 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. JOH 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. JOH 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 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. JOH 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. JOH 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. JOH 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.
