The Gospel According to Saint John

==Chapter 1{{chapter|1}}==

{{verse|1|1}} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.

{{verse|1|2}} The same was in the beginning
with God.

{{verse|1|3}} All things were made through him; and without
him was not anything made that hath been made.

{{verse|1|4}} In him was
life; and the life was the light of men.

{{verse|1|5}} And the light
shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

{{verse|1|6}} There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

{{verse|1|7}} The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of
the light, that all might believe through him.

{{verse|1|8}} He was not
the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.

{{verse|1|9}} There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth
every man, coming into the world.

{{verse|1|10}} He was in the world,
and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

{{verse|1|11}} He came unto his own, and they that were his own received
him not.

{{verse|1|12}} But as many as received him, to them gave he the
right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on
his name:

{{verse|1|13}} who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

{{verse|1|14}} And the
Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory,
glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace
and truth.

{{verse|1|15}} John beareth witness of him, and crieth,
saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is
become before me: for he was before me.

{{verse|1|16}} For of his
fulness we all received, and grace for grace.

{{verse|1|17}} For the law
was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ.

{{verse|1|18}} No man hath seen God at any time; the only
begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath
declared [him].

{{verse|1|19}} And this is the witness of John, when the
Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask
him, Who art thou?

{{verse|1|20}} And he confessed, and denied not; and
he confessed, I am not the Christ.

{{verse|1|21}} And they asked him,
What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the
prophet? And he answered, No.

{{verse|1|22}} They said therefore unto
him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent
us. What sayest thou of thyself?

{{verse|1|23}} He said, I am the voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the
Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

{{verse|1|24}} And they had been sent
from the Pharisees.

{{verse|1|25}} And they asked him, and said unto
him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ,
neither Elijah, neither the prophet?

{{verse|1|26}} John answered them,
saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one
whom ye know not,

{{verse|1|27}} [even] he that cometh after me, the
latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

{{verse|1|28}} These
things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was
baptizing.

{{verse|1|29}} On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him,
and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of
the world!

{{verse|1|30}} This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a
man who is become before me: for he was before me.

{{verse|1|31}} And I
knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for
this cause came I baptizing in water.

{{verse|1|32}} And John bare
witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove
out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

{{verse|1|33}} And I knew him not:
but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon
whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding
upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

{{verse|1|34}} And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the
Son of God.

{{verse|1|35}} Again on the morrow John was standing, and
two of his disciples;

{{verse|1|36}} and he looked upon Jesus as he
walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

{{verse|1|37}} And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

{{verse|1|38}} And
Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them,
What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say,
being interpreted, Teacher), where abideth thou?

{{verse|1|39}} He saith
unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw
where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about
the tenth hour.

{{verse|1|40}} One of the two that heard John [speak],
and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

{{verse|1|41}} He
findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have
found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

{{verse|1|42}} He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou
art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is
by interpretation, Peter).

{{verse|1|43}} On the morrow he was minded to
go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith
unto him, Follow me.

{{verse|1|44}} Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of
the city of Andrew and Peter.

{{verse|1|45}} Philip findeth Nathanael,
and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law,
and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

{{verse|1|46}} And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out
of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

{{verse|1|47}} Jesus
saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

{{verse|1|48}} Nathanael saith
unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto
him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig
tree, I saw thee.

{{verse|1|49}} Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art
the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.

{{verse|1|50}} Jesus answered
and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee
underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater
things than these.

{{verse|1|51}} And he saith unto him, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels
of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

==Chapter 2{{chapter|2}}==

{{verse|2|1}} And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

{{verse|2|2}} and Jesus also
was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.

{{verse|2|3}} And when
the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have
no wine.

{{verse|2|4}} And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to
do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

{{verse|2|5}} His mother saith
unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

{{verse|2|6}} Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews'
manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.

{{verse|2|7}} Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And
they filled them up to the brim.

{{verse|2|8}} And he saith unto them,
Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they
bare it.

{{verse|2|9}} And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water
now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants
that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth
the bridegroom,

{{verse|2|10}} and saith unto him, Every man setteth on
first the good wine; and when [men] have drunk freely, [then]
that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.

{{verse|2|11}} This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee,
and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

{{verse|2|12}} After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,
and [his] brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not
many days.

{{verse|2|13}} And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and
Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

{{verse|2|14}} And he found in the temple
those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting:

{{verse|2|15}} and he made a scourge of cords, and cast
all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he
poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables;

{{verse|2|16}} and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these
things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

{{verse|2|17}} His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for
thy house shall eat me up.

{{verse|2|18}} The Jews therefore answered
and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that
thou doest these things?

{{verse|2|19}} Jesus answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

{{verse|2|20}} The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

{{verse|2|21}} But he spake of the temple of his body.

{{verse|2|22}} When
therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered
that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the
word which Jesus had said.

{{verse|2|23}} Now when he was in Jerusalem
at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name,
beholding his signs which he did.

{{verse|2|24}} But Jesus did not trust
himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

{{verse|2|25}} and because
he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man;
for he himself knew what was in man.

==Chapter 3{{chapter|3}}==

{{verse|3|1}} Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews:

{{verse|3|2}} the same came unto him by night, and
said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from
God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God
be with him.

{{verse|3|3}} Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see
the kingdom of God.

{{verse|3|4}} Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a
man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his
mother's womb, and be born?

{{verse|3|5}} Jesus answered, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!

{{verse|3|6}} That
which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit.

{{verse|3|7}} Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born anew.

{{verse|3|8}} The wind bloweth where it will, and
thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of
the Spirit.

{{verse|3|9}} Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can
these things be?

{{verse|3|10}} Jesus answered and said unto him, Art
thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

{{verse|3|11}} Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we
know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye
receive not our witness.

{{verse|3|12}} If I told you earthly things and
ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly
things?

{{verse|3|13}} And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that
descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, who is in
heaven.

{{verse|3|14}} And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;

{{verse|3|15}} that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.

{{verse|3|16}} For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have
eternal life.

{{verse|3|17}} For God sent not the Son into the world to
judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

{{verse|3|18}} He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth
not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on
the name of the only begotten Son of God.

{{verse|3|19}} And this is the
judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved
the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

{{verse|3|20}} For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and
cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

{{verse|3|21}} But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his
works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

{{verse|3|22}} After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the
land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

{{verse|3|23}} And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim,
because there was much water there: and they came, and were
baptized.

{{verse|3|24}} For John was not yet cast into prison.

{{verse|3|25}} There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's
disciples with a Jew about purifying.

{{verse|3|26}} And they came unto
John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the
Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same
baptizeth, and all men come to him.

{{verse|3|27}} John answered and
said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him
from heaven.

{{verse|3|28}} Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said,
I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.

{{verse|3|29}} He
that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly
because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is made
full.

{{verse|3|30}} He must increase, but I must decrease.

{{verse|3|31}} He
that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is
of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from
heaven is above all.

{{verse|3|32}} What he hath seen and heard, of that
he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.

{{verse|3|33}} He
that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that
God is true.

{{verse|3|34}} For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words
of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.

{{verse|3|35}} The
Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

{{verse|3|36}} He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he
that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of
God abideth on him.

==Chapter 4{{chapter|4}}==

{{verse|4|1}} When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had
heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than
John

{{verse|4|2}} (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his
disciples),

{{verse|4|3}} he left Judea, and departed again into
Galilee.

{{verse|4|4}} And he must needs pass through Samaria.

{{verse|4|5}} So
he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the
parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

{{verse|4|6}} and
Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his
journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

{{verse|4|7}} There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
unto her, Give me to drink.

{{verse|4|8}} For his disciples were gone
away into the city to buy food.

{{verse|4|9}} The Samaritan woman
therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew,
askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no
dealings with Samaritans.)

{{verse|4|10}} Jesus answered and said unto
unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that
saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of
him, and he would have given thee living water.

{{verse|4|11}} The woman
saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the
well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?

{{verse|4|12}} Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well,
and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

{{verse|4|13}} Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of
this water shall thirst again:

{{verse|4|14}} but whosoever drinketh of
the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the
water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water
springing up unto eternal life.

{{verse|4|15}} The woman saith unto him,
Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the
way hither to draw.

{{verse|4|16}} Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy
husband, and come hither.

{{verse|4|17}} The woman answered and said
unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst
well, I have no husband:

{{verse|4|18}} for thou hast had five husbands;
and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou
said truly.

{{verse|4|19}} The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive
that thou art a prophet.

{{verse|4|20}} Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men
ought to worship.

{{verse|4|21}} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in
Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

{{verse|4|22}} Ye worship that
which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation
is from the Jews.

{{verse|4|23}} But the hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and
truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

{{verse|4|24}} God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship
in spirit and truth.

{{verse|4|25}} The woman saith unto him, I know
that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come,
he will declare unto us all things.

{{verse|4|26}} Jesus saith unto her,
I that speak unto thee am [he].

{{verse|4|27}} And upon this came his
disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman;
yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with
her?

{{verse|4|28}} So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into
the city, and saith to the people,

{{verse|4|29}} Come, see a man, who
told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?

{{verse|4|30}} They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

{{verse|4|31}} In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

{{verse|4|32}} But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know
not.

{{verse|4|33}} The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath
any man brought him [aught] to eat?

{{verse|4|34}} Jesus saith unto
them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to
accomplish his work.

{{verse|4|35}} Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you,
Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white
already unto harvest.

{{verse|4|36}} He that reapeth receiveth wages,
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and
he that reapeth may rejoice together.

{{verse|4|37}} For herein is the
saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

{{verse|4|38}} I sent you
to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored,
and ye are entered into their labor.

{{verse|4|39}} And from that city
many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of
the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I
did.

{{verse|4|40}} So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought
him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.

{{verse|4|41}} And
many more believed because of his word;

{{verse|4|42}} and they said to
the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we
have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the
Saviour of the world.

{{verse|4|43}} And after the two days he went
forth from thence into Galilee.

{{verse|4|44}} For Jesus himself
testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

{{verse|4|45}} So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received
him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the
feast: for they also went unto the feast.

{{verse|4|46}} He came
therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water
wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at
Capernaum.

{{verse|4|47}} When he heard that Jesus was come out of
Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought [him] that
he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of
death.

{{verse|4|48}} Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs
and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.

{{verse|4|49}} The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

{{verse|4|50}} Jesus
saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the
word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.

{{verse|4|51}} And
as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his
son lived.

{{verse|4|52}} So he inquired of them the hour when he began
to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh
hour the fever left him.

{{verse|4|53}} So the father knew that [it was]
at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and
himself believed, and his whole house.

{{verse|4|54}} This is again the
second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into
Galilee.

==Chapter 5{{chapter|5}}==

{{verse|5|1}} After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and
Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

{{verse|5|2}} Now there is in Jerusalem by
the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda,
having five porches.

{{verse|5|3}} In these lay a multitude of them that
were sick, blind, halt, withered, [waiting for the moving of the
water.]

{{verse|5|4}} [for an angel of the Lord went down at certain
seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then
first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made
whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden.]

{{verse|5|5}} And a
certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in
his infirmity.

{{verse|5|6}} When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he
had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him,
Wouldest thou be made whole?

{{verse|5|7}} The sick man answered him,
Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into
the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before
me.

{{verse|5|8}} Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and
walk.

{{verse|5|9}} And straightway the man was made whole, and took up
his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.

{{verse|5|10}} So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and
it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

{{verse|5|11}} But he
answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me,
Take up thy bed, and walk.

{{verse|5|12}} They asked him, Who is the man
that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk?

{{verse|5|13}} But he
that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed
himself away, a multitude being in the place.

{{verse|5|14}} Afterward
Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou
art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

{{verse|5|15}} The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus
who had made him whole.

{{verse|5|16}} And for this cause the Jews
persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

{{verse|5|17}} But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until
now, and I work.

{{verse|5|18}} For this cause therefore the Jews sought
the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but
also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

{{verse|5|19}} Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but
what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth,
these the Son also doeth in like manner.

{{verse|5|20}} For the Father
loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth:
and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may
marvel.

{{verse|5|21}} For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth
them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

{{verse|5|22}} For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath
given all judgment unto the Son;

{{verse|5|23}} that all may honor the
Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son
honoreth not the Father that sent him.

{{verse|5|24}} Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that
sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but
hath passed out of death into life.

{{verse|5|25}} Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

{{verse|5|26}} For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he
to the Son also to have life in himself:

{{verse|5|27}} and he gave him
authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

{{verse|5|28}} Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all
that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

{{verse|5|29}} and shall
come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of
life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
judgment.

{{verse|5|30}} I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.

{{verse|5|31}} If I bear witness of
myself, my witness is not true.

{{verse|5|32}} It is another that
beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he
witnesseth of me is true.

{{verse|5|33}} Ye have sent unto John, and he
hath borne witness unto the truth.

{{verse|5|34}} But the witness which
I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye
may be saved.

{{verse|5|35}} He was the lamp that burneth and shineth;
and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

{{verse|5|36}} But the witness which I have is greater than [that of] John; for
the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very
works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent
me.

{{verse|5|37}} And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of
me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his
form.

{{verse|5|38}} And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom
he sent, him ye believe not.

{{verse|5|39}} Ye search the scriptures,
because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these
are they which bear witness of me;

{{verse|5|40}} and ye will not come
to me, that ye may have life.

{{verse|5|41}} I receive not glory from
men.

{{verse|5|42}} But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in
yourselves.

{{verse|5|43}} I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive
me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will
receive.

{{verse|5|44}} How can ye believe, who receive glory one of
another, and the glory that [cometh] from the only God ye seek
not?

{{verse|5|45}} Think not that I will accuse you to the Father:
there is one that accuseth you, [even] Moses, on whom ye have
set your hope.

{{verse|5|46}} For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe
me; for he wrote of me.

{{verse|5|47}} But if ye believe not his
writings, how shall ye believe my words?

==Chapter 6{{chapter|6}}==

{{verse|6|1}} After these things Jesus went away to the other side of
the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias.

{{verse|6|2}} And a
great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs
which he did on them that were sick.

{{verse|6|3}} And Jesus went up
into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

{{verse|6|4}} Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

{{verse|6|5}} Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great
multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to
buy bread, that these may eat?

{{verse|6|6}} And this he said to prove
him: for he himself knew what he would do.

{{verse|6|7}} Philip answered
him, Two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not sufficient for
them, that every one may take a little.

{{verse|6|8}} One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

{{verse|6|9}} There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two
fishes: but what are these among so many?

{{verse|6|10}} Jesus said,
Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place.
So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

{{verse|6|11}} Jesus
therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he
distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the
fishes as much as they would.

{{verse|6|12}} And when they were filled,
he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which
remain over, that nothing be lost.

{{verse|6|13}} So they gathered them
up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five
barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

{{verse|6|14}} When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they
said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.

{{verse|6|15}} Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come
and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the
mountain himself alone.

{{verse|6|16}} And when evening came, his
disciples went down unto the sea;

{{verse|6|17}} and they entered into a
boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now
dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

{{verse|6|18}} And the sea was
rising by reason of a great wind that blew.

{{verse|6|19}} When
therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh
unto the boat: and they were afraid.

{{verse|6|20}} But he saith unto
them, It is I; be not afraid.

{{verse|6|21}} They were willing therefore
to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at
the land whither they were going.

{{verse|6|22}} On the morrow the
multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there
was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not
with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples went
away alone

{{verse|6|23}} (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh
unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given
thanks):

{{verse|6|24}} when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was
not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the
boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

{{verse|6|25}} And when
they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him,
Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

{{verse|6|26}} Jesus answered them and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye
saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.

{{verse|6|27}} Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food
which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give
unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.

{{verse|6|28}} They
said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the
works of God?

{{verse|6|29}} Jesus answered and said unto them, This is
the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

{{verse|6|30}} They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a
sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?

{{verse|6|31}} Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is
written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

{{verse|6|32}} Jesus
therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was
not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father
giveth you the true bread out of heaven.

{{verse|6|33}} For the bread of
God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life
unto the world.

{{verse|6|34}} They said therefore unto him, Lord,
evermore give us this bread.

{{verse|6|35}} Jesus said unto them. I am
the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he
that believeth on me shall never thirst.

{{verse|6|36}} But I said unto
you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not.

{{verse|6|37}} All that
which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

{{verse|6|38}} For I am come
down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me.

{{verse|6|39}} And this is the will of him that sent me,
that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up at the last day.

{{verse|6|40}} For this is the
will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and
believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him
up at the last day.

{{verse|6|41}} The Jews therefore murmured
concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down
out of heaven.

{{verse|6|42}} And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son
of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say,
I am come down out of heaven?

{{verse|6|43}} Jesus answered and said
unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

{{verse|6|44}} No man can come
to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise
him up in the last day.

{{verse|6|45}} It is written in the prophets,
And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard
from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.

{{verse|6|46}} Not
that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he
hath seen the Father.

{{verse|6|47}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
that believeth hath eternal life.

{{verse|6|48}} I am the bread of life.

{{verse|6|49}} Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they
died.

{{verse|6|50}} This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven,
that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

{{verse|6|51}} I am the living
bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will
give is my flesh, for the life of the world.

{{verse|6|52}} The Jews
therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give
us his flesh to eat?

{{verse|6|53}} Jesus therefore said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the
Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.

{{verse|6|54}} He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath
eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

{{verse|6|55}} For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

{{verse|6|56}} He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in
me, and I in him.

{{verse|6|57}} As the living Father sent me, and I
live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall
live because of me.

{{verse|6|58}} This is the bread which came down out
of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this
bread shall live for ever.

{{verse|6|59}} These things said he in the
synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

{{verse|6|60}} Many therefore of
his disciples, when the heard [this], said, This is a hard
saying; who can hear it?

{{verse|6|61}} But Jesus knowing in himself
that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this
cause you to stumble?

{{verse|6|62}} [What] then if ye should behold the
Son of man ascending where he was before?

{{verse|6|63}} It is the
spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.

{{verse|6|64}} But
there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the
beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that
should betray him.

{{verse|6|65}} And he said, For this cause have I
said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given
unto him of the Father.

{{verse|6|66}} Upon this many of his disciples
went back, and walked no more with him.

{{verse|6|67}} Jesus said
therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?

{{verse|6|68}} Simon
Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life.

{{verse|6|69}} And we have believed and know that
thou art the Holy One of God.

{{verse|6|70}} Jesus answered them, Did
not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?

{{verse|6|71}} Now he spake of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he it was
that should betray him, [being] one of the twelve.

==Chapter 7{{chapter|7}}==

{{verse|7|1}} And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he
would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

{{verse|7|2}} Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was
at hand.

{{verse|7|3}} His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart
hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold
thy works which thou doest.

{{verse|7|4}} For no man doeth anything in
secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest
these things, manifest thyself to the world.

{{verse|7|5}} For even his
brethren did not believe on him.

{{verse|7|6}} Jesus therefore saith
unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always
ready.

{{verse|7|7}} The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth,
because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

{{verse|7|8}} Go ye up
unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is
not yet fulfilled.

{{verse|7|9}} And having said these things unto them,
he abode [still] in Galilee.

{{verse|7|10}} But when his brethren were
gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but
as it were in secret.

{{verse|7|11}} The Jews therefore sought him at
the feast, and said, Where is he?

{{verse|7|12}} And there was much
murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is
a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude
astray.

{{verse|7|13}} Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the
Jews.

{{verse|7|14}} But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus
went up into the temple, and taught.

{{verse|7|15}} The Jews therefore
marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never
learned?

{{verse|7|16}} Jesus therefore answered them and said, My
teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

{{verse|7|17}} If any man
willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether
it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.

{{verse|7|18}} He that
speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh
the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him.

{{verse|7|19}} Did not Moses give you the
law, and [yet] none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill
me?

{{verse|7|20}} The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who
seeketh to kill thee?

{{verse|7|21}} Jesus answered and said unto them,
I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof.

{{verse|7|22}} Moses
hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the
fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

{{verse|7|23}} If a
man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses
may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man
every whit whole on the sabbath?

{{verse|7|24}} Judge not according to
appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

{{verse|7|25}} Some therefore
of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to
kill?

{{verse|7|26}} And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing
unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the
Christ?

{{verse|7|27}} Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when
the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.

{{verse|7|28}} Jesus
therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know
me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he
that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

{{verse|7|29}} I know him;
because I am from him, and he sent me.

{{verse|7|30}} They sought
therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because
his hour was not yet come.

{{verse|7|31}} But of the multitude many
believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will
he do more signs than those which this man hath done?

{{verse|7|32}} The
Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning
him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to
take him.

{{verse|7|33}} Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I
with you, and I go unto him that sent me.

{{verse|7|34}} Ye shall seek
me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come.

{{verse|7|35}} The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will
this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the
Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

{{verse|7|36}} What
is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find
me; and where I am, ye cannot come?

{{verse|7|37}} Now on the last day,
the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If
any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

{{verse|7|38}} He that
believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him
shall flow rivers of living water.

{{verse|7|39}} But this spake he of
the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for
the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet
glorified.

{{verse|7|40}} [Some] of the multitude therefore, when they
heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.

{{verse|7|41}} Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the
Christ come out of Galilee?

{{verse|7|42}} Hath not the scripture said
that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem,
the village where David was?

{{verse|7|43}} So there arose a division in
the multitude because of him.

{{verse|7|44}} And some of them would have
taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

{{verse|7|45}} The officers
therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said
unto them, Why did ye not bring him?

{{verse|7|46}} The officers
answered, Never man so spake.

{{verse|7|47}} The Pharisees therefore
answered them, Are ye also led astray?

{{verse|7|48}} Hath any of the
rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

{{verse|7|49}} But this
multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

{{verse|7|50}} Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one
of them),

{{verse|7|51}} Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear
from himself and know what he doeth?

{{verse|7|52}} They answered and
said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that
out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

{{verse|7|53}} And they went every man unto his own house:

==Chapter 8{{chapter|8}}==

{{verse|8|1}} but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

{{verse|8|2}} And
early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the
people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

{{verse|8|3}} And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in
adultery; and having set her in the midst,

{{verse|8|4}} they say unto
him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the
very act.

{{verse|8|5}} Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such:
what then sayest thou of her?

{{verse|8|6}} And this they said, trying
him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus
stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

{{verse|8|7}} But
when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast
a stone at her.

{{verse|8|8}} And again he stooped down, and with his
finger wrote on the ground.

{{verse|8|9}} And they, when they heard it,
went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the
last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in
the midst.

{{verse|8|10}} And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto
her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

{{verse|8|11}} And
she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn
thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

{{verse|8|12}} Again
therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but
shall have the light of life.

{{verse|8|13}} The Pharisees therefore
said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is
not true.

{{verse|8|14}} Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I
bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I
came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or
whither I go.

{{verse|8|15}} Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

{{verse|8|16}} Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not
alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

{{verse|8|17}} Yea and in your
law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

{{verse|8|18}} I
am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent
me beareth witness of me.

{{verse|8|19}} They said therefore unto him,
Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my
Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

{{verse|8|20}} These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the
temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

{{verse|8|21}} He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye
shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye
cannot come.

{{verse|8|22}} The Jews therefore said, Will he kill
himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

{{verse|8|23}} And
he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are
of this world; I am not of this world.

{{verse|8|24}} I said therefore
unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe
that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

{{verse|8|25}} They said
therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even
that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

{{verse|8|26}} I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you:
howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard
from him, these speak I unto the world.

{{verse|8|27}} They perceived
not that he spake to them of the Father.

{{verse|8|28}} Jesus therefore
said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know
that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the
Father taught me, I speak these things.

{{verse|8|29}} And he that sent
me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the
things that are pleasing to him.

{{verse|8|30}} As he spake these
things, many believed on him.

{{verse|8|31}} Jesus therefore said to
those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then]
are ye truly my disciples;

{{verse|8|32}} and ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.

{{verse|8|33}} They answered unto
him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage
to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

{{verse|8|34}} Jesus
answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that
committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

{{verse|8|35}} And the
bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth
for ever.

{{verse|8|36}} If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye
shall be free indeed.

{{verse|8|37}} I know that ye are Abraham's seed:
yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in
you.

{{verse|8|38}} I speak the things which I have seen with [my]
Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your]
father.

{{verse|8|39}} They answered and said unto him, Our father is
Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children,
ye would do the works of Abraham.

{{verse|8|40}} But now ye seek to kill
me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God:
this did not Abraham.

{{verse|8|41}} Ye do the works of your father.
They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one
Father, [even] God.

{{verse|8|42}} Jesus said unto them, If God were
your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from
God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

{{verse|8|43}} Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot
hear my word.

{{verse|8|44}} Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the
lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there
is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

{{verse|8|45}} But
because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

{{verse|8|46}} Which of you
convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

{{verse|8|47}} He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this
cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

{{verse|8|48}} The
Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a demon?

{{verse|8|49}} Jesus answered, I have not a
demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

{{verse|8|50}} But I
seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

{{verse|8|51}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he
shall never see death.

{{verse|8|52}} The Jews said unto him, Now we
know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and
thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of
death.

{{verse|8|53}} Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who
died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

{{verse|8|54}} Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is
my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your
God;

{{verse|8|55}} and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I
should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar:
but I know him, and keep his word.

{{verse|8|56}} Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

{{verse|8|57}} The
Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,
and hast thou seen Abraham?

{{verse|8|58}} Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

{{verse|8|59}} They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple.

==Chapter 9{{chapter|9}}==

{{verse|9|1}} And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

{{verse|9|2}} And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned,
this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

{{verse|9|3}} Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but
that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

{{verse|9|4}} We
must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the
night cometh, when no man can work.

{{verse|9|5}} When I am in the
world, I am the light of the world.

{{verse|9|6}} When he had thus
spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and
anointed his eyes with the clay,

{{verse|9|7}} and said unto him, Go,
wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent).
He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

{{verse|9|8}} The
neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he
was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

{{verse|9|9}} Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He
said, I am [he].

{{verse|9|10}} They said therefore unto him, How then
were thine eyes opened?

{{verse|9|11}} He answered, The man that is
called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto
me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I
received sight.

{{verse|9|12}} And they said unto him, Where is he? He
saith, I know not.

{{verse|9|13}} They bring to the Pharisees him that
aforetime was blind.

{{verse|9|14}} Now it was the sabbath on the day
when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

{{verse|9|15}} Again
therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his
sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I
washed, and I see.

{{verse|9|16}} Some therefore of the Pharisees said,
This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath.
But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs?
And there was division among them.

{{verse|9|17}} They say therefore
unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he
opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

{{verse|9|18}} The Jews
therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been
blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents
of him that had received his sight,

{{verse|9|19}} and asked them,
saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then
doth he now see?

{{verse|9|20}} His parents answered and said, We know
that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

{{verse|9|21}} but how
he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not:
ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

{{verse|9|22}} These
things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the
Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to
be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

{{verse|9|23}} Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

{{verse|9|24}} So
they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto
him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

{{verse|9|25}} He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know
not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

{{verse|9|26}} They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How
opened he thine eyes?

{{verse|9|27}} He answered them, I told you even
now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again?
would ye also become his disciples?

{{verse|9|28}} And they reviled him,
and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

{{verse|9|29}} We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this
man, we know not whence he is.

{{verse|9|30}} The man answered and said
unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he
is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes.

{{verse|9|31}} We know that God
heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and
do his will, him he heareth.

{{verse|9|32}} Since the world began it was
never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

{{verse|9|33}} If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

{{verse|9|34}} They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether
born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

{{verse|9|35}} Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him,
he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

{{verse|9|36}} He answered
and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

{{verse|9|37}} Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that
speaketh with thee.

{{verse|9|38}} And he said, Lord, I believe. And he
worshipped him.

{{verse|9|39}} And Jesus said, For judgment came I into
this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that
see may become blind.

{{verse|9|40}} Those of the Pharisees who were
with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also
blind?

{{verse|9|41}} Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would
have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

==Chapter 10{{chapter|10}}==

{{verse|10|1}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not
by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

{{verse|10|2}} But he that
entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

{{verse|10|3}} To
him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

{{verse|10|4}} When
he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

{{verse|10|5}} And a stranger
will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not
the voice of strangers.

{{verse|10|6}} This parable spake Jesus unto
them: but they understood not what things they were which he
spake unto them.

{{verse|10|7}} Jesus therefore said unto them again,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

{{verse|10|8}} All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.

{{verse|10|9}} I am the door; by me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and
shall find pasture.

{{verse|10|10}} The thief cometh not, but that he
may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have
life, and may have [it] abundantly.

{{verse|10|11}} I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

{{verse|10|12}} He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep,
and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:

{{verse|10|13}} [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for
the sheep.

{{verse|10|14}} I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own,
and mine own know me,

{{verse|10|15}} even as the Father knoweth me, and
I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

{{verse|10|16}} And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I
must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become
one flock, one shepherd.

{{verse|10|17}} Therefore doth the Father love
me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

{{verse|10|18}} No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of
myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it
again. This commandment received I from my Father.

{{verse|10|19}} There
arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.

{{verse|10|20}} And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why
hear ye him?

{{verse|10|21}} Others said, These are not the sayings of
one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the
blind?

{{verse|10|22}} And it was the feast of the dedication at
Jerusalem:

{{verse|10|23}} it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the
temple in Solomon's porch.

{{verse|10|24}} The Jews therefore came round
about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in
suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

{{verse|10|25}} Jesus
answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I
do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.

{{verse|10|26}} But ye
believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

{{verse|10|27}} My sheep
hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

{{verse|10|28}} and
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and
no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

{{verse|10|29}} My Father, who
hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is
able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand.

{{verse|10|30}} I and
the Father are one.

{{verse|10|31}} The Jews took up stones again to
stone him.

{{verse|10|32}} Jesus answered them, Many good works have I
showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone
me?

{{verse|10|33}} The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee
not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
makest thyself God.

{{verse|10|34}} Jesus answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said, ye are gods?

{{verse|10|35}} If he called
them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture
cannot be broken),

{{verse|10|36}} say ye of him, whom the Father
sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I
said, I am [the] Son of God?

{{verse|10|37}} If I do not the works of my
Father, believe me not.

{{verse|10|38}} But if I do them, though ye
believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and
understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

{{verse|10|39}} They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of
their hand.

{{verse|10|40}} And he went away again beyond the Jordan
into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there
be abode.

{{verse|10|41}} And many came unto him; and they said, John
indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this
man were true.

{{verse|10|42}} And many believed on him there.

==Chapter 11{{chapter|11}}==

{{verse|11|1}} Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the
village of Mary and her sister Martha.

{{verse|11|2}} And it was that
Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet
with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

{{verse|11|3}} The
sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom
thou lovest is sick.

{{verse|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 thereby.

{{verse|11|5}} Now Jesus loved
Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

{{verse|11|6}} When therefore he
heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the
place where he was.

{{verse|11|7}} Then after this he saith to the
disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

{{verse|11|8}} The disciples say
unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee;
and goest thou thither again?

{{verse|11|9}} Jesus answered, Are there
not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

{{verse|11|10}} But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light
is not in him.

{{verse|11|11}} These things spake he: and after this he
saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go,
that I may awake him out of sleep.

{{verse|11|12}} The disciples
therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will
recover.

{{verse|11|13}} Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they
thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.

{{verse|11|14}} Then
Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

{{verse|11|15}} And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent
ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

{{verse|11|16}} Thomas
therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his
fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

{{verse|11|17}} So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the
tomb four days already.

{{verse|11|18}} Now Bethany was nigh unto
Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

{{verse|11|19}} and many of the
Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning
their brother.

{{verse|11|20}} Martha therefore, when she heard that
Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the
house.

{{verse|11|21}} Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou
hadst been here, my brother had not died.

{{verse|11|22}} And even now I
know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

{{verse|11|23}} Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

{{verse|11|24}} Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again
in the resurrection at the last day.

{{verse|11|25}} Jesus said unto
her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on
me, though he die, yet shall he live;

{{verse|11|26}} and whosoever
liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

{{verse|11|27}} She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou
art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the
world.

{{verse|11|28}} And when she had said this, she went away, and
called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and
calleth thee.

{{verse|11|29}} And she, when she heard it, arose quickly,
and went unto him.

{{verse|11|30}} (Now Jesus was not yet come into the
village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)

{{verse|11|31}} The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were
consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and
went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the
tomb to weep there.

{{verse|11|32}} Mary therefore, when she came where
Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

{{verse|11|33}} When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews [also]
weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled,

{{verse|11|34}} and said, Where have ye laid him? They say
unto him, Lord, come and see.

{{verse|11|35}} Jesus wept.

{{verse|11|36}} The
Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

{{verse|11|37}} But some
of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him
that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?

{{verse|11|38}} Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the
tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

{{verse|11|39}} Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body
decayeth; for he hath been [dead] four days.

{{verse|11|40}} Jesus saith
unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou
shouldest see the glory of God?

{{verse|11|41}} So they took away the
stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank
thee that thou heardest me.

{{verse|11|42}} And I knew that thou hearest
me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I
said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

{{verse|11|43}} And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.

{{verse|11|44}} He that was dead came forth, bound
hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about
with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

{{verse|11|45}} Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld
that which he did, believed on him.

{{verse|11|46}} But some of them
went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus
had done.

{{verse|11|47}} The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees
gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth
many signs.

{{verse|11|48}} If we let him thus alone, all men will
believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our
place and our nation.

{{verse|11|49}} But a certain one of them,
Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know
nothing at all,

{{verse|11|50}} nor do ye take account that it is
expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and
that the whole nation perish not.

{{verse|11|51}} Now this he said not
of himself: but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that
Jesus should die for the nation;

{{verse|11|52}} and not for the nation
only, but that he might also gather together into one the
children of God that are scattered abroad.

{{verse|11|53}} So from that
day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

{{verse|11|54}} Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews,
but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness,
into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the
disciples.

{{verse|11|55}} Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and
many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the
passover, to purify themselves.

{{verse|11|56}} They sought therefore
for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the
temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?

{{verse|11|57}} Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given
commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show
it, that they might take him.

==Chapter 12{{chapter|12}}==

{{verse|12|1}} Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

{{verse|12|2}} So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.

{{verse|12|3}} Mary
therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious,
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her
hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

{{verse|12|4}} But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should
betray him, saith,

{{verse|12|5}} Why was not this ointment sold for
three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?

{{verse|12|6}} Now this
he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a
thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.

{{verse|12|7}} Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of
my burying.

{{verse|12|8}} For the poor ye have always with you; but me
ye have not always.

{{verse|12|9}} The common people therefore of the
Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus'
sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had
raised from the dead.

{{verse|12|10}} But the chief priests took counsel
that they might put Lazarus also to death;

{{verse|12|11}} because that
by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on
Jesus.

{{verse|12|12}} On the morrow a great multitude that had come to
the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

{{verse|12|13}} took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to
meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in
the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.

{{verse|12|14}} And
Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

{{verse|12|15}} Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh,
sitting on an ass's colt.

{{verse|12|16}} These things understood not
his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then
remembered they that these things were written of him, and that
they had done these things unto him.

{{verse|12|17}} The multitude
therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the
tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.

{{verse|12|18}} For
this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they
heard that he had done this sign.

{{verse|12|19}} The Pharisees
therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing:
lo, the world is gone after him.

{{verse|12|20}} Now there were certain
Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:

{{verse|12|21}} these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

{{verse|12|22}} Philip
cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they
tell Jesus.

{{verse|12|23}} And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour
is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

{{verse|12|24}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall
into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it
die, it beareth much fruit.

{{verse|12|25}} He that loveth his life
loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep
it unto life eternal.

{{verse|12|26}} If any man serve me, let him
follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if
any man serve me, him will the Father honor.

{{verse|12|27}} Now is my
soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this
hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.

{{verse|12|28}} Father,
glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven,
[saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

{{verse|12|29}} The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it,
said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to
him.

{{verse|12|30}} Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come
for my sake, but for your sakes.

{{verse|12|31}} Now is the judgment of
this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

{{verse|12|32}} And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all
men unto myself.

{{verse|12|33}} But this he said, signifying by what
manner of death he should die.

{{verse|12|34}} The multitude therefore
answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be
lifted up? who is this Son of man?

{{verse|12|35}} Jesus therefore said
unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while
ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that
walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

{{verse|12|36}} While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may
become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed
and hid himself from them.

{{verse|12|37}} But though he had done so
many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:

{{verse|12|38}} that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake,
Lord, who hath believed our report?
And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

{{verse|12|39}} For this cause they could not believe, for that
Isaiah said again,

{{verse|12|40}} He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart;
Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their
heart,
And should turn,
And I should heal them.

{{verse|12|41}} These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory;
and he spake of him.

{{verse|12|42}} Nevertheless even of the rulers
many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

{{verse|12|43}} for they loved the glory [that is] of men more than the
glory [that is] of God.

{{verse|12|44}} And Jesus cried and said, He
that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent
me.

{{verse|12|45}} And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.

{{verse|12|46}} I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.

{{verse|12|47}} And if
any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for
I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

{{verse|12|48}} He
that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in
the last day.

{{verse|12|49}} For I spake not from myself; but the
Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I
should say, and what I should speak.

{{verse|12|50}} And I know that his
commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak,
even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.

==Chapter 13{{chapter|13}}==

{{verse|13|1}} Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing
that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world
unto his Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he
loved them unto the end.

{{verse|13|2}} And during supper, the devil
having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's
[son], to betray him,

{{verse|13|3}} [Jesus], knowing that the Father
had given all the things into his hands, and that he came forth
from God, and goeth unto God,

{{verse|13|4}} riseth from supper, and
layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded
himself.

{{verse|13|5}} Then he poureth water into the basin, and began
to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded.

{{verse|13|6}} So he cometh to Simon Peter. He
saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

{{verse|13|7}} Jesus
answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt understand hereafter.

{{verse|13|8}} Peter saith unto him,
Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash
thee not, thou hast no part with me.

{{verse|13|9}} Simon Peter saith
unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

{{verse|13|10}} Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save
to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but
not all.

{{verse|13|11}} For he knew him that should betray him;
therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

{{verse|13|12}} So when he had
washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again,
he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

{{verse|13|13}} Ye
call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

{{verse|13|14}} If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your
feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

{{verse|13|15}} For I
have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done
to you.

{{verse|13|16}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, a servant is not
greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he
that sent him.

{{verse|13|17}} If ye know these things, blessed are ye
if ye do them.

{{verse|13|18}} I speak not of you all: I know whom I
have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that
eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me.

{{verse|13|19}} From
henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is
come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].

{{verse|13|20}} Verily,
verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent
me.

{{verse|13|21}} When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the
spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
that one of you shall betray me.

{{verse|13|22}} The disciples looked
one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

{{verse|13|23}} There was at
the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom
Jesus loved.

{{verse|13|24}} Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and
saith unto him, Tell [us] who it is of whom he speaketh.

{{verse|13|25}} He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast saith unto him,
Lord, who is it?

{{verse|13|26}} Jesus therefore answereth, He it is,
for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had
dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, [the son] of
Simon Iscariot.

{{verse|13|27}} And after the sop, then entered Satan
into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do
quickly.

{{verse|13|28}} Now no man at the table knew for what intent he
spake this unto him.

{{verse|13|29}} For some thought, because Judas had
the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need
of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

{{verse|13|30}} He then having received the sop went out straightway:
and it was night.

{{verse|13|31}} When therefore he was gone out, Jesus
saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in
him;

{{verse|13|32}} and God shall glorify him in himself, and
straightway shall he glorify him.

{{verse|13|33}} Little children, yet a
little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto
the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you.

{{verse|13|34}} A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one
another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another.

{{verse|13|35}} By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another.

{{verse|13|36}} Simon Peter
saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered,
Whither I go, thou canst not follow now; but thou shalt follow
afterwards.

{{verse|13|37}} Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I
follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee.

{{verse|13|38}} Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast
denied me thrice.

==Chapter 14{{chapter|14}}==

{{verse|14|1}} Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God,
believe also in me.

{{verse|14|2}} In my Father's house are many
mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to
prepare a place for you.

{{verse|14|3}} And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that
where I am, [there] ye may be also.

{{verse|14|4}} And whither I go, ye
know the way.

{{verse|14|5}} Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not
whither thou goest; how know we the way?

{{verse|14|6}} Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh
unto the Father, but by me.

{{verse|14|7}} If ye had known me, ye would
have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have
seen him.

{{verse|14|8}} Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the
Father, and it sufficeth us.

{{verse|14|9}} Jesus saith unto him, Have I
been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show
us the Father?

{{verse|14|10}} Believest thou not that I am in the
Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I
speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his
works.

{{verse|14|11}} Believe me that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

{{verse|14|12}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me,
the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than
these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.

{{verse|14|13}} And
whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son.

{{verse|14|14}} If ye shall ask
anything in my name, that will I do.

{{verse|14|15}} If ye love me, ye
will keep my commandments.

{{verse|14|16}} And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you
for ever,

{{verse|14|17}} [even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world
cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him:
ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.

{{verse|14|18}} I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.

{{verse|14|19}} Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye
behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.

{{verse|14|20}} In that
day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in
you.

{{verse|14|21}} He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he
it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.

{{verse|14|22}} Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come
to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto
the world?

{{verse|14|23}} Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man
love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

{{verse|14|24}} He
that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye
hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

{{verse|14|25}} These
things have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you.

{{verse|14|26}} But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.

{{verse|14|27}} Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be fearful.

{{verse|14|28}} Ye heard how I said to you, I
go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have
rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is
greater than I.

{{verse|14|29}} And now I have told you before it come
to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.

{{verse|14|30}} I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world
cometh: and he hath nothing in me;

{{verse|14|31}} but that the world
may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me
commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

==Chapter 15{{chapter|15}}==

{{verse|15|1}} I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

{{verse|15|2}} Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it
away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it,
that it may bear more fruit.

{{verse|15|3}} Already ye are clean because
of the word which I have spoken unto you.

{{verse|15|4}} Abide in me,
and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except
it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.

{{verse|15|5}} I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me
ye can do nothing.

{{verse|15|6}} If a man abide not in me, he is cast
forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and
cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

{{verse|15|7}} If ye abide
in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it
shall be done unto you.

{{verse|15|8}} Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples.

{{verse|15|9}} Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you:
abide ye in my love.

{{verse|15|10}} If ye keep my commandments, ye
shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in his love.

{{verse|15|11}} These things have I
spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and [that] your joy
may be made full.

{{verse|15|12}} This is my commandment, that ye love
one another, even as I have loved you.

{{verse|15|13}} Greater love hath
no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

{{verse|15|14}} Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command
you.

{{verse|15|15}} No longer do I call you servants; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;
for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known
unto you.

{{verse|15|16}} Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and
appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your
fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
in my name, he may give it you.

{{verse|15|17}} These things I command
you, that ye may love one another.

{{verse|15|18}} If the world hateth
you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.

{{verse|15|19}} If ye were of the world, the world would love its own:
but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the
world, therefore the world hateth you.

{{verse|15|20}} Remember the word
that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If
they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept
my word, they will keep yours also.

{{verse|15|21}} But all these things
will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not
him that sent me.

{{verse|15|22}} If I had not come and spoken unto
them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for
their sin.

{{verse|15|23}} He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

{{verse|15|24}} If I had not done among them the works which none other
did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated
both me and my Father.

{{verse|15|25}} But [this cometh to pass], that
the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They
hated me without a cause.

{{verse|15|26}} But when the Comforter is
come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear
witness of me:

{{verse|15|27}} and ye also bear witness, because ye have
been with me from the beginning.

==Chapter 16{{chapter|16}}==

{{verse|16|1}} These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should
not be caused to stumble.

{{verse|16|2}} They shall put you out of the
synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you
shall think that he offereth service unto God.

{{verse|16|3}} And these
things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor
me.

{{verse|16|4}} But these things have I spoken unto you, that when
their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you.
And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because
I was with you.

{{verse|16|5}} But now I go unto him that sent me; and
none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

{{verse|16|6}} But because I
have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your
heart.

{{verse|16|7}} Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient
for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will
not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

{{verse|16|8}} And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of
sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

{{verse|16|9}} of sin,
because they believe not on me;

{{verse|16|10}} of righteousness,
because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

{{verse|16|11}} of
judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

{{verse|16|12}} I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot
bear them now.

{{verse|16|13}} Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not
speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear,
[these] shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things
that are to come.

{{verse|16|14}} He shall glorify me: for he shall take
of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you.

{{verse|16|15}} All things
whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he
taketh of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you.

{{verse|16|16}} A
little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little
while, and ye shall see me.

{{verse|16|17}} [Some] of his disciples
therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto
us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little
while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

{{verse|16|18}} They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A
little while? We know not what he saith.

{{verse|16|19}} Jesus perceived
that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye
inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little
while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye
shall see me?

{{verse|16|20}} Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye
shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

{{verse|16|21}} A
woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is
come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no
more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.

{{verse|16|22}} And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you
again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh
away from you.

{{verse|16|23}} And in that day ye shall ask me no
question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask
anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

{{verse|16|24}} Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
receive, that your joy may be made full.

{{verse|16|25}} These things
have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I
shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you
plainly of the Father.

{{verse|16|26}} In that day ye shall ask in my
name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for
you;

{{verse|16|27}} for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have
loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

{{verse|16|28}} I came out from the Father, and am come into the world:
again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

{{verse|16|29}} His
disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no
dark saying.

{{verse|16|30}} Now know we that thou knowest all things,
and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe
that thou camest forth from God.

{{verse|16|31}} Jesus answered them, Do
ye now believe?

{{verse|16|32}} Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come,
that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall
leave me alone: and [yet] I am not alone, because the Father is
with me.

{{verse|16|33}} These things have I spoken unto you, that in me
ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world.

==Chapter 17{{chapter|17}}==

{{verse|17|1}} These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to
heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that
the son may glorify thee:

{{verse|17|2}} even as thou gavest him
authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him,
he should give eternal life.

{{verse|17|3}} And this is life eternal,
that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou
didst send, [even] Jesus Christ.

{{verse|17|4}} I glorified thee on the
earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to
do.

{{verse|17|5}} And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self
with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

{{verse|17|6}} I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me
out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me;
and they have kept thy word.

{{verse|17|7}} Now they know that all
things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:

{{verse|17|8}} for
the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they
received [them], and knew of a truth that I came forth from
thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.

{{verse|17|9}} I pray
for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast
given me; for they are thine:

{{verse|17|10}} and all things that are
mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.

{{verse|17|11}} And I am no more 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, even as we
[are].

{{verse|17|12}} While I was with them, I kept them in thy name
which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of
them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture
might be fulfilled.

{{verse|17|13}} But now I come to thee; and these
things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full
in themselves.

{{verse|17|14}} I have given them thy word; and the world
hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not
of the world.

{{verse|17|15}} I pray not that thou shouldest take them
from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil
[one].

{{verse|17|16}} They are not of the world even as I am not of the
world.

{{verse|17|17}} Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

{{verse|17|18}} As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I
them into the world.

{{verse|17|19}} And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

{{verse|17|20}} Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that
believe on me through their word;

{{verse|17|21}} that they may all be
one; even as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they
also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst
send me.

{{verse|17|22}} And the glory which thou hast given me I have
given unto them; that they may be one, even as we [are] one;

{{verse|17|23}} I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected
into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and
lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

{{verse|17|24}} Father, I desire
that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am,
that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for
thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

{{verse|17|25}} O
righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and
these knew that thou didst send me;

{{verse|17|26}} and I made known
unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love
wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

==Chapter 18{{chapter|18}}==

{{verse|18|1}} When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with
his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into
which he entered, himself and his disciples.

{{verse|18|2}} Now Judas
also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times
resorted thither with his disciples.

{{verse|18|3}} Judas then, having
received the band [of soldiers], and officers from the chief
priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and
torches and weapons.

{{verse|18|4}} Jesus therefore, knowing all the
things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto
them, Whom seek ye?

{{verse|18|5}} They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who betrayed
him, was standing with them.

{{verse|18|6}} When therefore he said unto
them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.

{{verse|18|7}} Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they
said, Jesus of Nazareth.

{{verse|18|8}} Jesus answered, I told you that
I am [he]; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

{{verse|18|9}} that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those
whom thou hast given me I lost not one.

{{verse|18|10}} Simon Peter
therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's
servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was
Malchus.

{{verse|18|11}} Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the
sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me,
shall I not drink it?

{{verse|18|12}} So the band and the chief captain,
and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,

{{verse|18|13}} and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to
Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

{{verse|18|14}} Now Caiaphas
was he that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that
one man should die for the people.

{{verse|18|15}} And Simon Peter
followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. Now that disciple
was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into
the court of the high priest;

{{verse|18|16}} but Peter was standing at
the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the
high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and
brought in Peter.

{{verse|18|17}} The maid therefore that kept the door
saith unto Peter, Art thou also [one] of this man's disciples?
He saith, I am not.

{{verse|18|18}} Now the servants and the officers
were standing [there], having made a fire of coals; for it was
cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with
them, standing and warming himself.

{{verse|18|19}} The high priest
therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.

{{verse|18|20}} Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I
ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews
come together; and in secret spake I nothing.

{{verse|18|21}} Why askest
thou me? Ask them that have heard [me], what I spake unto them:
behold, these know the things which I said.

{{verse|18|22}} And when he
had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with
his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

{{verse|18|23}} Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the
evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

{{verse|18|24}} Annas therefore
sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

{{verse|18|25}} Now Simon
Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto
him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said,
I am not.

{{verse|18|26}} One of the servants of the high priest, being
a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see
thee in the garden with him?

{{verse|18|27}} Peter therefore denied
again: and straightway the cock crew.

{{verse|18|28}} They lead Jesus
therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium: and it was early;
and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they
might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

{{verse|18|29}} Pilate
therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring
ye against this man?

{{verse|18|30}} They answered and said unto him, If
this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him
up unto thee.

{{verse|18|31}} Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him
yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said
unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

{{verse|18|32}} that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he
spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.

{{verse|18|33}} Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called
Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

{{verse|18|34}} Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell
it thee concerning me?

{{verse|18|35}} Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?
Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me:
what hast thou done?

{{verse|18|36}} Jesus answered, My kingdom is not
of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my
servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but
now is my kingdom not from hence.

{{verse|18|37}} Pilate therefore said
unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that
I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I
come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

{{verse|18|38}} Pilate
saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he
went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no
crime in him.

{{verse|18|39}} But ye have a custom, that I should
release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I
release unto you the King of the Jews?

{{verse|18|40}} They cried out
therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.)

==Chapter 19{{chapter|19}}==

{{verse|19|1}} Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

{{verse|19|2}} And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on
his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;

{{verse|19|3}} and they
came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck
him with their hands.

{{verse|19|4}} And Pilate went out again, and
saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may
know that I find no crime in him.

{{verse|19|5}} Jesus therefore came
out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And
[Pilate] saith unto them, Behold, the man!

{{verse|19|6}} When therefore
the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out,
saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]! Pilate saith unto them,
Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in
him.

{{verse|19|7}} The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that
law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

{{verse|19|8}} When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more
afraid;

{{verse|19|9}} and he entered into the Praetorium again, and
saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

{{verse|19|10}} Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto
me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have
power to crucify thee?

{{verse|19|11}} Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest
have no power against me, except it were given thee from above:
therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.

{{verse|19|12}} Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews
cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not
Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh
against Caesar.

{{verse|19|13}} When Pilate therefore heard these words,
he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a
place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

{{verse|19|14}} Now
it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth
hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!

{{verse|19|15}} They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him],
crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

{{verse|19|16}} Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

{{verse|19|17}} They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the
cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull,
which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

{{verse|19|18}} where they
crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst.

{{verse|19|19}} And Pilate wrote a title also, and
put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.

{{verse|19|20}} This title therefore read many of
the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to
the city; and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in
Greek.

{{verse|19|21}} The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to
Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am
King of the Jews.

{{verse|19|22}} Pilate answered, What I have written I
have written.

{{verse|19|23}} The soldiers therefore, when they had
crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every
soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without
seam, woven from the top throughout.

{{verse|19|24}} They said therefore
one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose
it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,
They parted my garments among them,
And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

{{verse|19|25}} These things therefore the soldiers did. But there
were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

{{verse|19|26}} When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing
by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy
son!

{{verse|19|27}} Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother!
And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home].

{{verse|19|28}} After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now
finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I
thirst.

{{verse|19|29}} There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so
they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought
it to his mouth.

{{verse|19|30}} When Jesus therefore had received the
vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and
gave up his spirit.

{{verse|19|31}} The Jews therefore, because it was
the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross
upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]),
asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they
might be taken away.

{{verse|19|32}} The soldiers therefore came, and
brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified
with him:

{{verse|19|33}} but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he
was dead already, they brake not his legs:

{{verse|19|34}} howbeit one
of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway
there came out blood and water.

{{verse|19|35}} And he that hath seen
hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that
he saith true, that ye also may believe.

{{verse|19|36}} For these
things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken.

{{verse|19|37}} And again another
scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

{{verse|19|38}} And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a
disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of
Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate
gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.

{{verse|19|39}} And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came
to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a
hundred pounds.

{{verse|19|40}} So they took the body of Jesus, and
bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the
Jews is to bury.

{{verse|19|41}} Now in the place where he was crucified
there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was
never man yet laid.

{{verse|19|42}} There then because of the Jews'
Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

==Chapter 20{{chapter|20}}==

{{verse|20|1}} Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary
Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth
the stone taken away from the tomb.

{{verse|20|2}} She runneth
therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple
whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the
Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

{{verse|20|3}} Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and
they went toward the tomb.

{{verse|20|4}} And they ran both together:
and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

{{verse|20|5}} and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths
lying; yet entered he not in.

{{verse|20|6}} Simon Peter therefore also
cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he
beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

{{verse|20|7}} and the napkin, that
was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled
up in a place by itself.

{{verse|20|8}} Then entered in therefore the
other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and
believed.

{{verse|20|9}} For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he
must rise from the dead.

{{verse|20|10}} So the disciples went away
again unto their own home.

{{verse|20|11}} But Mary was standing without
at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked
into the tomb;

{{verse|20|12}} and she beholdeth two angels in white
sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain.

{{verse|20|13}} And they say unto her, Woman, why
weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away
my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

{{verse|20|14}} When
she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

{{verse|20|15}} Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou
hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I
will take him away.

{{verse|20|16}} Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She
turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is
to say, Teacher.

{{verse|20|17}} Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I
am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren,
and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my
God and your God.

{{verse|20|18}} Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the
disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [that] he had said these
things unto her.

{{verse|20|19}} When therefore it was evening, on that
day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut
where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and
stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

{{verse|20|20}} And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands
and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw
the Lord.

{{verse|20|21}} Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be]
unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

{{verse|20|22}} And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and
saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

{{verse|20|23}} whose
soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose
soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

{{verse|20|24}} But Thomas,
one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus
came.

{{verse|20|25}} The other disciples therefore said unto him, We
have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in
his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side,
I will not believe.

{{verse|20|26}} And after eight days again his
disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the
doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be]
unto you.

{{verse|20|27}} Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy
finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put
it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

{{verse|20|28}} Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

{{verse|20|29}} Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have
believed.

{{verse|20|30}} Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the
presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:

{{verse|20|31}} but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life
in his name.

==Chapter 21{{chapter|21}}==

{{verse|21|1}} After these things Jesus manifested himself again to
the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested
[himself] on this wise.

{{verse|21|2}} There was together Simon Peter,
and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and
the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

{{verse|21|3}} Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him,
We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the
boat; and that night they took nothing.

{{verse|21|4}} But when day was
now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew
not that it was Jesus.

{{verse|21|5}} Jesus therefore saith unto them,
Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No.

{{verse|21|6}} And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were
not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

{{verse|21|7}} That
disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the
Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt
his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the
sea.

{{verse|21|8}} But the other disciples came in the little boat (for
they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits
off), dragging the net [full] of fishes.

{{verse|21|9}} So when they got
out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid
thereon, and bread.

{{verse|21|10}} Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the
fish which ye have now taken.

{{verse|21|11}} Simon Peter therefore went
up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred
and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was
not rent.

{{verse|21|12}} Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] break your
fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art
thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

{{verse|21|13}} Jesus cometh, and
taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.

{{verse|21|14}} This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to
the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

{{verse|21|15}} So
when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith
unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my lambs.

{{verse|21|16}} He saith to him again a second
time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Tend my sheep.

{{verse|21|17}} He saith unto him the third time, Simon,
[son] of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said
unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him,
Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee.
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

{{verse|21|18}} Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and
walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou
shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and
carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

{{verse|21|19}} Now this he spake,
signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And
when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

{{verse|21|20}} Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and
said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

{{verse|21|21}} Peter
therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this
man do?

{{verse|21|22}} Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry
till I come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.

{{verse|21|23}} This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that
disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he
should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what
[is that] to thee?

{{verse|21|24}} This is the disciple that beareth
witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know
that his witness is true.

{{verse|21|25}} And there are also many other
things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written
every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not
contain the books that should be written.
