1:1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
1:2 *He* was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things received being through him, and without him not
one [thing] received being which has received being.
1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
1:5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness
apprehended it not.
1:6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.
1:7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the
light, that all might believe through him.
1:8 *He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning
the light.
1:9 The true light was that which, coming into the world,
lightens every man.
1:10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through
him, and the world knew him not.
1:11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;
1:12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to
be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
1:13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor
of man's will, but of God.
1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have
contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a
father), full of grace and truth;
1:15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This
was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred
before me, for he was before me;)
1:16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon
grace.
1:17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists
through Jesus Christ.
1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who
is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared [him].
1:19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from
Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou,
who art thou?
1:20 And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am
not the Christ.
1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says,
I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
1:22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give
an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
1:23 He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said
Esaias the prophet.
1:24 And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
1:25 And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou
then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
1:26 John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the
midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
1:27 he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not
worthy to unloose.
1:28 These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan,
where John was baptising.
1:29 On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
1:30 He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a
place before me, because he *was* before me;
1:31 and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to
Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
1:32 And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit
descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
1:33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with
water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit
descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the]
Holy Spirit.
1:34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of
God.
1:35 Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his
disciples.
1:36 And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the
Lamb of God.
1:37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed
Jesus.
1:38 But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to
them, What seek ye? And *they* said to him, Rabbi (which, being
interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
1:39 He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw
where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about
the tenth hour.
1:40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who
heard [this] from John and followed him.
1:41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We
have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).
1:42 And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou
art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which
interpreted is stone).
1:43 On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus
finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
1:44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and
Peter.
1:45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him
of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the
son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
1:46 And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of
Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold
[one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
1:48 Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when
thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
1:49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son
of God, thou art the King of Israel.
1:50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I
saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see
greater things than these.
1:51 And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you,
Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of
God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
2:1 And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2:2 And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the
marriage.
2:3 And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him,
They have no wine.
2:4 Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine
hour has not yet come.
2:5 His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you,
do.
2:6 Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels,
according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three
measures each.
2:7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And
they filled them up to the brim.
2:8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the
feast-master. And they carried [it].
2:9 But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had
been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants
knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the
bridegroom,
2:10 and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and
when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept
the good wine till now.
2:11 This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
2:12 After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and
his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many
days.
2:13 And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
2:14 And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep
and doves, and the money-changers sitting;
2:15 and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out
of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out
the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,
2:16 and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence;
make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
2:17 [And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal
of thy house devours me.
2:18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign
shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?
2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and
in three days I will raise it up.
2:20 The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this
temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?
2:21 But *he* spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22 When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his
disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the
scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
2:23 And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the
feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he
wrought.
2:24 But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he
knew all [men],
2:25 and that he had not need that any should testify of man,
for himself knew what was in man.
3:1 But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
3:2 he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know
that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these
signs that thou doest unless God be with him.
3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of
God.
3:4 Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can
he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born?
3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any
one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.
3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7 Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that *ye*
should be born anew.
3:8 The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice,
but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is
every one that is born of the Spirit.
3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of
Israel and knowest not these things!
3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we
know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye
receive not our witness.
3:12 If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe
not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?
3:13 And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down
out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus
must the Son of man be lifted up,
3:15 that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but]
have life eternal.
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten
Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have
life eternal.
3:17 For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may
judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.
3:18 He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes
not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the
name of the only-begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the judgment, that light is come into the
world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their
works were evil.
3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not
come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;
3:21 but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that
his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.
3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the
land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised.
3:23 And John also was baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because
there was a great deal of water there; and they came to [him]
and were baptised:
3:24 for John was not yet cast into prison.
3:25 There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John
with a Jew about purification.
3:26 And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was
with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,
behold, he baptises, and all come to him.
3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it
be given him out of heaven.
3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the
Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
3:29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of
the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart
because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is
fulfilled.
3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
3:31 He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin
in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He
who comes out of heaven is above all,
3:32 [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies;
and no one receives his testimony.
3:33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that
God is true;
3:34 for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God
gives not the Spirit by measure.
3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be]
in his hand.
3:36 He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that
is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of
God abides upon him.
4:1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John
4:2 (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),
4:3 he left Judaea and went away again unto Galilee.
4:4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
4:5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near
to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
4:6 Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being
wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the
fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
4:7 A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to
her, Give me to drink
4:8 (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they
might buy provisions).
4:9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou,
being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for
Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.
4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of
God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou
wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living
water.
4:11 The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with,
and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?
4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the
well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
4:13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of
this water shall thirst again;
4:14 but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him
shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give
him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into
eternal life.
4:15 The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may
not thirst nor come here to draw.
4:16 Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
4:17 The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus
says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;
4:18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast
is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.
4:19 The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.
4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in
Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
4:21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming
when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship
the Father.
4:22 Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for
salvation is of the Jews.
4:23 But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for
also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.
4:24 God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship
[him] in spirit and truth.
4:25 The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who
is called Christ; when *he* comes he will tell us all things.
4:26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he].
4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he
spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why
speakest thou with her?
4:28 The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the
city, and says to the men,
4:29 Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is
not he the Christ?
4:30 They went out of the city and came to him.
4:31 But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.
4:32 But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not
know.
4:33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one
brought him [anything] to eat?
4:34 Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of
him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.
4:35 Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the
harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and
behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.
4:36 He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life
eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice
together.
4:37 For in this is [verified] the true saying, It is one who
sows and another who reaps.
4:38 I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured;
others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
4:39 But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him
because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me
all things that I had ever done.
4:40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to
abide with them, and he abode there two days.
4:41 And more a great deal believed on account of his word;
4:42 and they said to the woman, [It is] no longer on account of
thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves,
and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
4:43 But after the two days he went forth thence and went away
into Galilee,
4:44 for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour
in his own country.
4:45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received
him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the
feast, for they also went to the feast.
4:46 He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made
the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum
whose son was sick.
4:47 He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into
Galilee, went to him and asked [him] that he would come down
and heal his son, for he was about to die.
4:48 Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye see signs and
wonders ye will not believe.
4:49 The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
4:50 Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed
the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
4:51 But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and
brought [him] word saying, Thy child lives.
4:52 He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got
better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the
fever left him.
4:53 The father therefore knew that [it was] in that hour in
which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed,
himself and his whole house.
4:54 This second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea
into Galilee.
5:1 After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
5:2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which
is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
5:3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered,
[awaiting the moving of the water.
5:4 For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and
troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the
troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he
laboured under.]
5:5 But there was a certain man there who had been suffering
under his infirmity thirty and eight years.
5:6 Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he
was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him,
Wouldest thou become well?
5:7 The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in
order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the
pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.
5:8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.
5:9 And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch
and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
5:10 The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath,
it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.
5:11 He answered them, He that made me well, *he* said to me,
Take up thy couch and walk.
5:12 They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to
thee, Take up thy couch and walk?
5:13 But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus
had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.
5:14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said
to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that
something worse do not happen to thee.
5:15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who
had made him well.
5:16 And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill
him], because he had done these things on sabbath.
5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I
work.
5:18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,
because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said
that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
5:19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily,
I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever
he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these
things also the Son does in like manner.
5:20 For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which
he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these,
that ye may wonder.
5:21 For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them],
thus the Son also quickens whom he will:
5:22 for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given
all judgment to the Son;
5:23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the
Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who
has sent him.
5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word,
and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does
not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.
5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God,
and they that have heard shall live.
5:26 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given
to the Son also to have life in himself,
5:27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also],
because he is Son of man.
5:28 Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who
are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
5:29 and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to
resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to
resurrection of judgment.
5:30 I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my
judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the
will of him that has sent me.
5:31 If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not
true.
5:32 It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know
that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.
5:33 Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the
truth.
5:34 But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that
*ye* might be saved.
5:35 *He* was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing
for a season to rejoice in his light.
5:36 But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of
John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should
complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness
concerning me that the Father has sent me.
5:37 And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness
concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor
have seen his shape,
5:38 and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom *he* hath
sent, him ye do not believe.
5:39 Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have
life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;
5:40 and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.
5:41 I do not receive glory from men,
5:42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if
another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
5:44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and
seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?
5:45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
[one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;
5:46 for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me,
for he wrote of me.
5:47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe
my words?
6:1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of
Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,
6:2 and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs
which he wrought upon the sick.
6:3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his
disciples:
6:4 but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
6:5 Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great
crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy
loaves that these may eat?
6:6 But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going
to do.
6:7 Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not
sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].
6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to
him,
6:9 There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and
two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?
6:10 [And] Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much
grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about
five thousand.
6:11 And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks,
distributed [them] to those that were set down; and in like
manner of the small fishes as much as they would.
6:12 And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples,
Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that
nothing may be lost.
6:13 They gathered [them] therefore together, and filled twelve
hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which
were over and above to those that had eaten.
6:14 The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had
done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the
world.
6:15 Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and
seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to
the mountain himself alone.
6:16 But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the
sea,
6:17 and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to
Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not
come to them,
6:18 and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.
6:19 Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they
see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they
were frightened.
6:20 But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.
6:21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship;
and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.
6:22 On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of
the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there
except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus
had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but [that] his
disciples had gone away alone;
6:23 (but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the
place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)
6:24 when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor
his disciples, *they* got into the ships, and came to
Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25 And having found him the other side of the sea, they said
to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?
6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you,
Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have
eaten of the loaves and been filled.
6:27 Work not [for] the food which perishes, but [for] the food
which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give
to you; for him has the Father sealed, [even] God.
6:28 They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may
work the works of God?
6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God,
that ye believe on him whom *he* has sent.
6:30 They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that
we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?
6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is
written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
6:32 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you,
[It is] not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven;
but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and
gives life to the world.
6:34 They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this
bread.
6:35 [And] Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that
comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me
shall never thirst at any time.
6:36 But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do
not believe.
6:37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that
comes to me I will not at all cast out.
6:38 For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do *my*
will, but the will of him that has sent me.
6:39 And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all
that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it
up in the last day.
6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees
the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I
will raise him up at the last day.
6:41 The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I
am the bread which has come down out of heaven.
6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am
come down out of heaven?
6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among
yourselves.
6:44 No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me
draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught
of God. Every one that has heard from the Father [himself], and
has learned [of him], comes to me;
6:46 not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of
God, he has seen the Father.
6:47 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has
life eternal.
6:48 I am the bread of life.
6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
6:50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one
may eat of it and not die.
6:51 I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if
any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever;
but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I
will give for the life of the world.
6:52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How
can he give us this flesh to eat?
6:53 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man,
and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.
6:54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal,
and I will raise him up at the last day:
6:55 for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.
6:56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and
I in him.
6:57 As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of
the Father, *he* also who eats me shall live also on account of
me.
6:58 This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as
the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live
for ever.
6:59 These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in
Capernaum.
6:60 Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said,
This word is hard; who can hear it?
6:61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur
concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?
6:62 If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was
before?
6:63 It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing:
the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.
6:64 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and
who would deliver him up.
6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can
come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.
6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and
walked no more with him.
6:67 Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
6:68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
hast words of life eternal;
6:69 and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one
of God.
6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and
of you one is a devil.
6:71 Now he spoke of Judas [the son] of Simon, Iscariote, for he
[it was who] should deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
7:1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would
not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
7:2 Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
7:3 His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into
Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou
doest;
7:4 for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be
[known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself
to the world:
7:5 for neither did his brethren believe on him.
7:6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but
your time is always ready.
7:7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear
witness concerning it that its works are evil.
7:8 Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for
*my* time is not yet fulfilled.
7:9 Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.
7:10 But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also
went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.
7:11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where
is he?
7:12 And there was much murmuring concerning him among the
crowds. Some said, He is [a] good [man]; others said, No; but
he deceives the crowd.
7:13 However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of
[their] fear of the Jews.
7:14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up
into the temple and taught.
7:15 The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man]
letters, having never learned?
7:16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not
mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.
7:17 If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know
concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or [that] I
speak from myself.
7:18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he
that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and
unrighteousness is not in him.
7:19 Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you
practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
7:20 The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks
to kill thee?
7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and
ye all wonder.
7:22 Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of
Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
7:23 If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of
Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have
made a man entirely sound on sabbath?
7:24 Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
7:25 Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he
whom they seek to kill?
7:26 and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him.
Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?
7:27 But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to]
the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
7:28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and
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 do not
know.
7:29 I know him, because I am from him, and *he* has sent me.
7:30 They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand
upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
7:31 But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the
Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this
[man] has done?
7:32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things
concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent
officers that they might take him.
7:33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and
I go to him that has sent me.
7:34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I am ye
cannot come.
7:35 The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about
to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the
dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
7:36 What word is this which he said, Ye shall seek me and shall
not find [me]; and where I am ye cannot come?
7:37 In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.
7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of
his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that
believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not
yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
7:40 [Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word,
said, This is truly the prophet.
7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the
Christ come out of Galilee?
7:42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the
seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David
was?
7:43 There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of
him.
7:44 But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands
upon him.
7:45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and
Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
7:46 The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man
[speaks].
7:47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also
deceived?
7:48 Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the
Pharisees?
7:49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.
7:50 Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),
7:51 Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from
himself, and know what he does?
7:52 They answered and said to him, Art thou also of Galilee?
Search and look, that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
7:53 And every one went to his home.
8:1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and
all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
8:3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman
taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
8:4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the
very act, committing adultery.
8:5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou
therefore, what sayest thou?
8:6 But this they said proving him, that they might have
[something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down,
wrote with his finger on the ground.
8:7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and
said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast
the stone at her.
8:8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
8:9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning
from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone
and the woman standing there.
8:10 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the
woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has
no one condemned thee?
8:11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither
do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
8:12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light
of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness
concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness
concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I
came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and
whither I go.
8:15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
8:16 And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not
alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.
8:17 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two
men is true:
8:18 I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the
Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.
8:19 They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus
answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me,
ye would have known also my Father.
8:20 These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the
temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.
8:21 He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall
seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.
8:22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he
says, Where I go ye cannot come?
8:23 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above.
Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
8:24 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins;
for unless ye shall believe that I am [he], ye shall die in
your sins.
8:25 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said
to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
8:26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but
he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him,
these things I say to the world.
8:27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
8:28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up
the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he], and [that] I
do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak
these things.
8:29 And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me
alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
8:30 As he spoke these things many believed on him.
8:31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye
abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
8:32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you
free.
8:33 They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never
been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become
free?
8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every
one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
8:35 Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son
abides for ever.
8:36 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really
free.
8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
because my word has no entrance in you.
8:38 I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do
what ye have seen with your father.
8:39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the
works of Abraham;
8:40 but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth
to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
8:41 Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to
him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
8:42 Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have
loved me, for I came forth from God and am come [from him]; for
neither am I come of myself, but *he* has sent me.
8:43 Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my
word.
8:44 Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do
the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning,
and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own;
for he is a liar and its father:
8:45 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
8:46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do
ye not believe me?
8:47 He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear
[them] not, because ye are not of God.
8:48 The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that
thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father,
and ye dishonour me.
8:50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and
judges.
8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my
word, he shall never see death.
8:52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast
a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest,
If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death.
8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and
the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
8:54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing:
it is my Father who glorifies me, [of] whom ye say, He is our
God.
8:55 And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know
him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I
keep his word.
8:56 Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day,
and he saw and rejoiced.
8:57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty
years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
8:58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am.
8:59 They took up therefore stones that they might cast [them]
at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple,
[going through the midst of them, and thus passed on.]
9:1 And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this
[man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
9:3 Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his
parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.
9:4 I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is
day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.
9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.
9:6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud
of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.
9:7 And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is
interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came
seeing.
9:8 The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him
before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was
sitting and begging?
9:9 Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him:
*he* said, It is I.
9:10 They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been
opened?
9:11 He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and
anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and
having gone and washed, I saw.
9:12 They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not
know.
9:13 They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
9:14 Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his
eyes.
9:15 The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he
received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine
eyes, and I washed, and I see.
9:16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of
God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a
sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among
them.
9:17 They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou
say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a
prophet.
9:18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he
was blind and had received sight, until they had called the
parents of him that had received sight.
9:19 And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye
say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
9:20 His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is
our son, and that he was born blind;
9:21 but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his
eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak
concerning himself.
9:22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews,
for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him
[to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the
synagogue.
9:23 On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.
9:24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been
blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this
man is sinful.
9:25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One
thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
9:26 And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how
opened he thine eyes?
9:27 He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear:
why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his
disciples?
9:28 They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we
are disciples of Moses.
9:29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we
know not whence he is.
9:30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a
wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has
opened mine eyes.
9:31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any
one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
9:32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened
the eyes of one born blind.
9:33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do
nothing.
9:34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born
in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.
9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found
him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?
9:36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may
believe on him?
9:37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that
speaks with thee is he.
9:38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world,
that they which see not may see, and they which see may become
blind.
9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these
things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?
9:41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin;
but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
10:1 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the
door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, *he* is
a thief and a robber;
10:2 but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the
sheep.
10:3 To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and
he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
10:4 When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and
the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5 But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from
him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6 This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know
what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
10:7 Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say
to you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the
sheep did not hear them.
10:9 I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
10:10 The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have
[it] abundantly.
10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his
life for the sheep:
10:12 but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd,
whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves
the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the
sheep.
10:13 Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for
wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine,
and am known of those that are mine,
10:15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay
down my life for the sheep.
10:16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those
also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one flock, one shepherd.
10:17 On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my
life that I may take it again.
10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I
have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it
again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
10:19 There was a division again among the Jews on account of
these words;
10:20 but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye
hear him?
10:21 Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is
possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
10:22 Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at
Jerusalem, and it was winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
10:24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until
when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the
Christ, say [so] to us openly.
10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe.
The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness
concerning me:
10:26 but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I
told you.
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me;
10:28 and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish,
and no one shall seize them out of my hand.
10:29 My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all,
and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
10:30 I and the Father are one.
10:31 The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone
him.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of
my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
10:33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not,
but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest
thyself God.
10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I
said, Ye are gods?
10:35 If he called *them* gods to whom the word of God came (and
the scripture cannot be broken),
10:36 do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent
into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of
God?
10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
10:38 but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works,
that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I
in him.
10:39 They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away
from out of their hand
10:40 and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where
John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
10:41 And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all
things which John said of this [man] were true.
10:42 And many believed on him there.
11:1 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of
the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
11:2 It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
11:3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he
whom thou lovest is sick.
11:4 But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not
unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may
be glorified by it.
11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
11:6 When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days
then in the place where he was.
11:7 Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into
Judaea again.
11:8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews
sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?
11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If
any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees
the light of this world;
11:10 but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the
light is not in him.
11:11 These things said he; and after this he says to them,
Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may
awake him out of sleep.
11:12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen
asleep, he will get well.
11:13 But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he
spoke of the rest of sleep.
11:14 Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has
died.
11:15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in
order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.
11:16 Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow
disciples, Let *us* also go, that we may die with him.
11:17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four
days already in the tomb.
11:18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,
11:19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they
might console them concerning their brother.
11:20 Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet
him; but Mary sat in the house.
11:21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died;
11:22 but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of
God, God will give thee.
11:23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
11:24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection in the last day.
11:25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he
that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;
11:26 and every one who lives and believes on me shall never
die. Believest thou this?
11:27 She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
11:28 And having said this, she went away and called her sister
Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.
11:29 She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to
him.
11:30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in
the place where Martha came to meet him.
11:31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and
consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went
out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may
weep there.
11:32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him,
fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died.
11:33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who
came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was
troubled,
11:34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord,
come and see.
11:35 Jesus wept.
11:36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
11:37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has
opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man]
also should not have died?
11:38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to
the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
11:39 Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the
dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days
[there].
11:40 Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou
shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
11:41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up
his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast
heard me;
11:42 but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of
the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may
believe that thou hast sent me.
11:43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth.
11:44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with
graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief.
Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.
11:45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what
he had done, believed on him;
11:46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what
Jesus had done.
11:47 The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a
council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.
11:48 If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the
Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
11:49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest
that year, said to them, Ye know nothing
11:50 nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man
die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.
11:51 But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest
that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the
nation;
11:52 and not for the nation only, but that he should also
gather together into one the children of God who were scattered
abroad.
11:53 From that day therefore they took counsel that they might
kill him.
11:54 Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews,
but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a
city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned with the disciples.
11:55 But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to
Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they
might purify themselves.
11:56 They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves,
standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come
to the feast?
11:57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given
commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make
it known, that they might take him.
12:1 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to
Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised
from among [the] dead.
12:2 There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served,
but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
12:3 Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure
nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his
feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of
the ointment.
12:4 One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon,
Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
12:5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii
and given to the poor?
12:6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but
because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was
put into [it].
12:7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the
day of my preparation for burial;
12:8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not
always.
12:9 A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there;
and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they
might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
12:10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill
Lazarus also,
12:11 because many of the Jews went away on his account and
believed on Jesus.
12:12 On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having
heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
12:13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and
cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the]
Lord, the King of Israel.
12:14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is
written,
12:15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh,
sitting on an ass's colt.
12:16 [Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first;
but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these
things were written of him, and that they had done these things
to him.
12:17 The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because
he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from
among [the] dead.
12:18 Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard
that he had done this sign.
12:19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that
ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
12:20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that
they might worship in the feast;
12:21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see
Jesus.
12:22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes
and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
12:23 But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the
Son of man should be glorified.
12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat
falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it
bears much fruit.
12:25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates
his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
12:26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am,
there also shall be *my* servant. [And] if any one serve me,
him shall the Father honour.
12:27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father,
save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to
this hour.
12:28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out
of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
12:29 The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it],
said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to
him.
12:30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice
come, but on yours.
12:31 Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince
of this world be cast out:
12:32 and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all
to me.
12:33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to
die.
12:34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that
the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of
man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man?
12:35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the
light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness
may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not
know where he goes.
12:36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may
become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away
hid himself from them.
12:37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they
believed not on him,
12:38 that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be
fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has
the arm of the Lord been revealed?
12:39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias
said again,
12:40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that
they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their
heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
12:41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and
spoke of him.
12:42 Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed
on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him],
that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
12:43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
12:44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes
not on me, but on him that sent me;
12:45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
12:46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that
believes on me may not abide in darkness;
12:47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I
judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world,
but that I might save the world.
12:48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him
who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge
him in the last day.
12:49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent
me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what
I should speak;
12:50 and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What
therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that
his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to
the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved
them to the end.
13:2 And during supper, the devil having already put it into the
heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should
deliver him up,
13:3 [Jesus,] knowing that the Father had given him all things
into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to
God,
13:4 rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having
taken a linen towel he girded himself:
13:5 then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to
wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen
towel with which he was girded.
13:6 He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and *he* says to him,
Lord, dost thou wash *my* feet?
13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not
know now, but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8 Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me.
13:9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
my hands and my head.
13:10 Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to
wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but
not all.
13:11 For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this
he said, Ye are not all clean.
13:12 When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his
garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know
what I have done to you?
13:13 Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for
I am [so].
13:14 If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your
feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet;
13:15 for I have given you an example that, as I have done to
you, ye should do also.
13:16 Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater
than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him.
13:17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
13:18 I speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen;
but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread
with me has lifted up his heel against me.
13:19 I tell you [it] now before it happens, that when it
happens, ye may believe that I am [he].
13:20 Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I
shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him
who has sent me.
13:21 Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit,
and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one
of you shall deliver me up.
13:22 The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of
whom he spoke.
13:23 Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom
of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.
13:24 Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it
might be of whom he spoke.
13:25 But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord,
who is it?
13:26 Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the
morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to
Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote.
13:27 And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus
therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly.
13:28 But none of those at table knew why he said this to him;
13:29 for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus
was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the
feast; or that he should give something to the poor.
13:30 Having therefore received the morsel, he went out
immediately; and it was night.
13:31 When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son
of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
13:32 If God be glorified in him, God also shall glorify him in
himself, and shall glorify him immediately.
13:33 Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek
me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I
say to you also now.
13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
13:35 By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if
ye have love amongst yourselves.
13:36 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou
shalt follow me after.
13:37 Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
will lay down my life for thee.
13:38 Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily,
verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast
denied me thrice.
14:1 Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe
also on me.
14:2 In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so,
I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;
14:3 and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming
again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also
may be.
14:4 And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.
14:5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and
how can we know the way?
14:6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.
14:7 If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and
henceforth ye know him and have seen him.
14:8 Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it
suffices us.
14:9 Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou
hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the
Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
14:10 Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the
Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak
from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the
works.
14:11 Believe *me* that I [am] in the Father and the Father in
me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves.
14:12 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the
works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than
these, because I go to the Father.
14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another
Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,
14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for
he abides with you, and shall be in you.
14:18 I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you.
14:19 Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see
me; because I live ye also shall live.
14:20 In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye
in me, and I in you.
14:21 He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that
loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and
I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
14:22 Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it
that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?
14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he
will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will
come to him and make our abode with him.
14:24 He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word
which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has
sent me.
14:25 These things I have said to you, abiding with you;
14:26 but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, *he* shall teach you all things, and will
bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to
you.
14:27 I leave peace with you; I give *my* peace to you: not as
the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it fear.
14:28 Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I
am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to
the Father, for [my] Father is greater than I.
14:29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when
it shall have come to pass ye may believe.
14:30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the
world comes, and in me he has nothing;
14:31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as
the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go
hence.
15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
15:2 [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it
away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it
may bring forth more fruit.
15:3 Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have
spoken to you.
15:4 Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit
of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye
unless ye abide in me.
15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me
and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do
nothing.
15:6 Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch,
and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the
fire, and they are burned.
15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.
15:8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit,
and ye shall become disciples of mine.
15:9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in
my love.
15:10 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my
love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his
love.
15:11 I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in
you, and your joy be full.
15:12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I
have loved you.
15:13 No one has greater love than this, that one should lay
down his life for his friends.
15:14 Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.
15:15 I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not
know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends,
for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made
known to you.
15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set
you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and
[that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask
the Father in my name he may give you.
15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
15:18 If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before
you.
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, on account of this the world hates you.
15:20 Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is
not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they
will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will
keep also yours.
15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my
name, because they have not known him that sent me.
15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had
sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
15:23 He that hates me hates also my Father.
15:24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one
has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and
hated both me and my Father.
15:25 But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled,
They hated me without a cause.
15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with
the Father, *he* shall bear witness concerning me;
15:27 and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the]
beginning.
16:1 These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be
offended.
16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is
coming that every one who kills you will think to render
service to God;
16:3 and these things they will do because they have not known
the Father nor me.
16:4 But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour
shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them]
unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the]
beginning, because I was with you.
16:5 But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you
demands of me, Where goest thou?
16:6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has
filled your heart.
16:7 But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I
go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come
to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
16:8 And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world,
of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
16:9 of sin, because they do not believe on me;
16:10 of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye
behold me no longer;
16:11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
16:12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear
them now.
16:13 But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide
you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will
announce to you what is coming.
16:14 He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and
shall announce [it] to you.
16:15 All things that the Father has are mine; on account of
this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce
[it] to you.
16:16 A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little
while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].
16:17 [Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another,
What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold
me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because
I go away to the Father?
16:18 They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the
little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.
16:19 Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him,
and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I
said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a
little while and ye shall see me?
16:20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and
lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be
grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
16:21 A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief
because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no
longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man
has been born into the world.
16:22 And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from
you.
16:23 And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily,
verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my
name, he will give you.
16:24 Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye
shall receive, that your joy may be full.
16:25 These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour
is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but
will declare to you openly concerning the Father.
16:26 In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you
that I will demand of the Father for you,
16:27 for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye
have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out
from God.
16:28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world;
again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
16:29 His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and
utterest no allegory.
16:30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not
need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe
that thou art come from God.
16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
16:32 Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall
be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and
[yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
16:33 These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good
courage: I have overcome the world.
17:1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven
and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy
Son may glorify thee;
17:2 as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as
to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life
eternal.
17:3 And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
17:4 I have glorified *thee* on the earth, I have completed the
work which thou gavest me that I should do it;
17:5 and now glorify *me*, *thou* Father, along with thyself,
with the glory which I had along with thee before the world
was.
17:6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me
out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and
they have kept thy word.
17:7 Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me
are of thee;
17:8 for the words which thou hast given me I have given them,
and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came
out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.
17:9 I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the
world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they
are thine,
17:10 (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine
mine,) and I am glorified in them.
17:11 And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name
which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.
17:12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou
hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished,
but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be
fulfilled.
17:13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the
world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
17:14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them,
because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17:15 I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the
world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.
17:16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17:17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.
17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them
into the world;
17:19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be
sanctified by truth.
17:20 And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who
believe on me through their word;
17:21 that they may be all 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.
17:22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them,
that they may be one, as we are one;
17:23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into
one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and
[that] thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
17:24 Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire
that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold
my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before
[the] foundation of [the] world.
17:25 Righteous Father, -- and the world has not known thee, but
I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
17:26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it]
known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in
them and I in them.
18:1 Jesus, having said these things, went out with his
disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into
which he entered, he and his disciples.
18:2 And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place,
because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
18:3 Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the
chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and
torches and weapons.
18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon
him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
18:5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them,
I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with
them.
18:6 When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away
backward and fell to the ground.
18:7 He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they
said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
18:8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye
seek me, let these go away;
18:9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to]
those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
18:10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote
the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and
the bondman's name was Malchus.
18:11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the
sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not
drink it?
18:12 The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of
the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
18:13 and they led him away to Annas first; for he was
father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
18:14 But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was
better that one man should perish for the people.
18:15 Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple.
But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in
with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;
18:16 but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple
therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke
to the porteress and brought in Peter.
18:17 The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art
thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
18:18 But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals
(for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was
standing with them and warming himself.
18:19 The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his
disciples and concerning his doctrine.
18:20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught
always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews
come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
18:21 Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard,
what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.
18:22 But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood
by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the
high priest thus?
18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of
the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
18:24 Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high
priest.
18:25 But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They
said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He
denied, and said, I am not.
18:26 One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of
him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the
garden with him?
18:27 Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock
crew.
18:28 They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium;
and it was early morn. And *they* entered not into the
praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the
passover.
18:29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What
accusation do ye bring against this man?
18:30 They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an
evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
18:31 Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him
according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is
not permitted to us to put any one to death;
18:32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke,
signifying what death he should die.
18:33 Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and
called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
18:34 Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or
have others said it to thee concerning me?
18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief
priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my
kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might
not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from
hence.
18:37 Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus
answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born
for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might
bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears
my voice.
18:38 Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he
went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault
whatever in him.
18:39 But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at
the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the
king of the Jews?
18:40 They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man],
but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
19:2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on
his head, and put a purple robe on him,
19:3 and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave
him blows on the face.
19:4 And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him
out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault
whatever.
19:5 (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of
thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the
man!
19:6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him
they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to
them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in
him.
19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to
[our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.
19:8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather
afraid,
19:9 and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10 Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*?
Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and
have authority to crucify thee?
19:11 Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against
me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he
that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.
19:12 From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews
cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a
friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks
against Caesar.
19:13 Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out
and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called
Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;
19:14 (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was
about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your
king!
19:15 But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away,
crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king?
The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
19:16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might
be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
19:17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called
[place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
19:18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one]
on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
19:19 And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But
there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.
19:20 This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place
of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was
written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
19:21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do
not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king
of the Jews.
19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
19:23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus,
took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part,
and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven
through the whole from the top.
19:24 They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it,
but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the
scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my
garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots.
The soldiers therefore did these things.
19:25 And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister
of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
19:26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold
thy son.
19:27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And
from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now
finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I
thirst.
19:29 There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and
having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round
it, they put it up to his mouth.
19:30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It
is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his
spirit.
19:31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on
the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for
the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate
that their legs might be broken and they taken away.
19:32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the
first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
19:33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already
dead they did not break his legs,
19:34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and
immediately there came out blood and water.
19:35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true,
and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.
19:36 For these things took place that the scripture might be
fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
19:37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him
whom they pierced.
19:38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a
disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews,
demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and
Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of
Jesus.
19:39 And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night,
came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred
pounds [weight].
19:40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in
linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to
prepare for burial.
19:41 But there was in the place where he had been crucified a
garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever
been laid.
19:42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the
Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
20:1 And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in
early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the
stone taken away from the tomb.
20:2 She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them,
They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not
where they have laid him.
20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and
came to the tomb.
20:4 And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran
forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,
20:5 and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did
not however go in.
20:6 Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered
into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,
20:7 and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying
with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by
itself.
20:8 Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came
first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;
20:9 for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise
from among [the] dead.
20:10 The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.
20:11 But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore
she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,
20:12 and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at
the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
20:13 And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says
to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not
where they have laid him.
20:14 Having said these things she turned backward and beholds
Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.
20:15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest
thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him,
Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid
him, and I will take him away.
20:16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him
in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.
20:17 Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet
ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I
ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your
God.
20:18 Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that
she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to
her.
20:19 When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the
first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples
were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the
midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.
20:20 And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his
side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.
20:21 [Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you:
as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.
20:22 And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to
them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:
20:23 whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them;
whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not
with them when Jesus came.
20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen
the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the
mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the
nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
20:26 And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and
Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood
in the midst and said, Peace [be] to you.
20:27 Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my
hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not
unbelieving, but believing.
20:28 Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
20:29 Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast
believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.
20:30 Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his
disciples, which are not written in this book;
20:31 but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have
life in his name.
21:1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested [himself]
thus.
21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of
Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3 Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We
also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and
that night took nothing.
21:4 And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore;
the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.
21:5 Jesus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to
eat? They answered him, No.
21:6 And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the
ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no
longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes.
21:7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It
is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was
the Lord, girded his overcoat [on him] (for he was naked), and
cast himself into the sea;
21:8 and the other disciples came in the small boat, for they
were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred
cubits, dragging the net of fishes.
21:9 When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire
of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
21:10 Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now
taken.
21:11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of
great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were
so many, the net was not rent.
21:12 Jesus says to them, Come [and] dine. But none of the
disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it
was the Lord.
21:13 Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and
the fish in like manner.
21:14 This is already the third time that Jesus had been
manifested to the disciples, being risen from among [the] dead.
21:15 When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter,
Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says
to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He
says to him, Feed my lambs.
21:16 He says to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I
am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.
21:17 He says to him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, art
thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him
the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord,
thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to
thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.
21:18 Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou
girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when
thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not
desire.
21:19 But he said this signifying by what death he should
glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.
21:20 Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved
following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said,
Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?
21:21 Peter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what [of] this
[man]?
21:22 Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come,
what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.
21:23 This word therefore went out among the brethren, That
disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does
not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is
that] to thee?
21:24 This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these
things, and who has written these things; and we know that his
witness is true.
21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the
which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even
the world itself would contain the books written.
