  JOHN:


                            CHAPTER 1


  1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.

  2. The same was in the beginning with God.

  3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.

  4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

  5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.

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

  7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.

  8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
Light.

  9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
into the world.

  10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.

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

  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:

  13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.

  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.

  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.

  16. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for
grace.

  17. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ.

  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.

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

  20. And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not
the Christ.

  21. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith,
I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

  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?

  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.

  24. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

  25. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

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

  27. He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose
shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

  28. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where
John was baptizing.

  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.

  30. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.

  31. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

  32. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending
from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

  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.

  34. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

  35. Again the next day after John stood, and two of his
disciples;

  36. And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the
Lamb of God!

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

  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?

  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.

  40. One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

  47. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold
an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

  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.

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

  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.

  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.


                            CHAPTER 2


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

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

  3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto
him, They have no wine.

  4. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
mine hour is not yet come.

  5. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto
you, do it.

  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.

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

  8. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the
governor of the feast. And they bare it.

  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,

  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.

  11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

  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.

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

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

  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;

  16. And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence;
make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

  17. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal
of thine house hath eaten me up.

  18. Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest
thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  24. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew
all men,

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


                            CHAPTER 3


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

  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. 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.

  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?

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

  10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of
Israel, and knowest not these things?

  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.

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

  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.

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

  15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
eternal life.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

  21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds
may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

  22. After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the
land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

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

  24. For John was not yet cast into prison.

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

  30. He must increase, but I must decrease.

  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.

  32. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no
man receiveth his testimony.

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

  34. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God
giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

  35. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into
his hand.

  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.


                            CHAPTER 4


  1. When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that
Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

  2. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

  3. He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

  4. And he must needs go through Samaria.

  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.

  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.

  7. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
unto her, Give me to drink.

  8. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

  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.

  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.

  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?

  12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the
well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

  13. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this
water shall thirst again:

  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.

  15. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I
thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

  16. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

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

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

  19. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet.

  20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

  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.

  22. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for
salvation is of the Jews.

  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.

  24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth.

  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.

  26. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

  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?

  28. The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the
city, and saith to the men,

  29. Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did:
is not this the Christ?

  30. Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

  31. In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master,
eat.

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

  33. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man
brought him ought to eat?

  34. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that
sent me, and to finish his work.

  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.

  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.

  37. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
reapeth.

  38. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other
men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

  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.

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

  41. And many more believed because of his own word;

  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.

  43. Now after two days he departed thence, and went into
Galilee.

  44. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour
in his own country.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  49. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child
die.

  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.

  51. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
him, saying, Thy son liveth.

  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.

  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.

  54. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
come out of Judaea into Galilee.


                            CHAPTER 5


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

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

  3. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

  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. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty
and eight years.

  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?

  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.

  8. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

  9. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

  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.

  11. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto
me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

  12. Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
Take up thy bed, and walk?

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

  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.

  15. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which
had made him whole.

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  26. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
the Son to have life in himself;

  27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.

  28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all
that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

  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.

  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.

  31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

  32. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that
the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

  33. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

  34. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I
say, that ye might be saved.

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

  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.

  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.

  38. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath
sent, him ye believe not.

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

  40. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

  41. I receive not honour from men.

  42. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

  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.

  44. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and
seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

  45. Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

  46. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he
wrote of me.

  47. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?


                            CHAPTER 6


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  12. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  16. And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the
sea,

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

  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
gone away alone;

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

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

  30. They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then,
that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

  36. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe
not.

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

  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?

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

  48. I am that bread of life.

  49. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

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

  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.

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

  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.

  54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

  60. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

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

  62. What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he
was before?

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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


                            CHAPTER 7


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

  2. Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

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

  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.

  5. For neither did his brethren believe in him.

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

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

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

  9. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
Galilee.

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

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

  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.

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

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

  15. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man
letters, having never learned?

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

  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?

  24. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
judgment.

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

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

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

  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.

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

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

  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?

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

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

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

  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?

  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?

  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.

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

  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.)

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

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

  42. Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed
of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  53. And every man went unto his own house.


                            CHAPTER 8


  1. Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

  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. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

  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.

  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?

  11. She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do
I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

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

  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?

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

  35. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the
Son abideth ever.

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word.

  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.

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

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

  47. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear
them not, because ye are not of God.

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

  49. Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
and ye do dishonour me.

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

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

  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.

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

  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:

  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.

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

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

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

  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


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

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

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

  4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:
the night cometh, when no man can work.

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

  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,

  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.

  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. Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he
said, I am he.

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

  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.

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

  13. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

  14. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
opened his eyes.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  26. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
he thine eyes?

  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?

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

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

  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.

  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.

  32. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened
the eyes of one that was born blind.

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

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

  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?

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

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

  38. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

  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.

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

  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


  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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. 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.

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

  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.

  13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth
not for the sheep.

  14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
mine.

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

  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.

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

  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.

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

  20. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
ye him?

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

  30. I and my Father are one.

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

  32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from
my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

  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.

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

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

  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?

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

  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.

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

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

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

  42. And many believed on him there.


                            CHAPTER 11


  1. Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the
town of Mary and her sister Martha.

  2. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

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

  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.

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

  6. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
days still in the same place where he was.

  7. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into
Judaea again.

  8. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought
to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

  16. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

  17. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave
four days already.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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:

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

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

  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.

  29. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto
him.

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

  35. Jesus wept.

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

  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?

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

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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?

  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


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

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

  7. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
hath she kept this.

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

  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.

  10. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
also to death;

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

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

  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.

  14. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it
is written,

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

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

  22. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and
Philip tell Jesus.

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

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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?

  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.

  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.

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

  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?

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

  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.

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

  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:

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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


  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.

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

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

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

  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.

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

  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.

  19. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to
pass, ye may believe that I am he.

  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.

  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.

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

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

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

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

  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


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

  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.

  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.

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

  5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?

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

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

  8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.

  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?

  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.

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

  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.

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

  14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

  15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.

  16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

  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.

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

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

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

  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.

  22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that
thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  30. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

  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.


                            CHAPTER 15


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

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

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

  23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

  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.

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

  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:

  27. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me
from the beginning.


                            CHAPTER 16


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

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

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

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

  9. Of sin, because they believe not on me;

  10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me
no more;

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

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

  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.

  14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
shew it unto you.

  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. 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.

  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?

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

  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?

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

  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.

  31. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

  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.

  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


  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:

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

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

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

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

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

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

  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


  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.

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

  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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?

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

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

  18. 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.

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

  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.

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

  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?

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

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

  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.

  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?

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

  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.

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

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

  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:

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

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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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?

  40. Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but
Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.


                            CHAPTER 19


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

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

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

  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.

  5. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

  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.

  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.

  8. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
afraid;

  9. And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

  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?

  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.

  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.

  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.

  14. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

  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.

  16. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led him away.

  17. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the
place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

  18. Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
side one, and Jesus in the midst.

  19. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

  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.

  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.

  22. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

  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.

  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.

  25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

  26. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!

  27. Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

  28. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
thirst.

  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.

  30. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It
is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

  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.

  32. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and
of the other which was crucified with him.

  33. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs:

  34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.

  35. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and
he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

  36. For these things were done, that the scripture should be
fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

  37. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him
whom they pierced.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  42. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.


                            CHAPTER 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.

  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.

  3. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came
to the sepulchre.

  4. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun
Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

  5. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes
lying; yet went he not in.

  6. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

  7. And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

  8. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to
the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

  9. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
again from the dead.

  10. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

  11. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she
wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

  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.

  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.

  14. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw
Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

  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.

  16. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith
unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

  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.

  18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

  19. Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the
week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled
for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith
unto them, Peace be unto you.

  20. 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.

  21. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

  22. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith
unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

  23. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

  24. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with
them when Jesus came.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  28. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

  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.

  30. And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written in this book:

  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


  1. After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he
himself.

  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.

  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.

  4. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

  5. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They
answered him, No.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  9. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

  10. Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
caught.

  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.

  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.

  13. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and
fish likewise.

  14. This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

  20. Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus
loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and
said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

  21. Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this
man do?

  22. Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee? follow thou me.

  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?

  24. This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and
wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

  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.
