John 21

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

John 20

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

John 19

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

John 18

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

John 17

  • 17:1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
  • 17:2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
  • 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
  • 17:4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
  • 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
  • 17:6 I have manifested your name to the men which you gave me out of the world: your they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word.
  • 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you.
  • 17:8 For I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
  • 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
  • 17:10 And all my are yours, and your are mine; and I am glorified in them.
  • 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one, as we are.
  • 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
  • 17:13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
  • 17:14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  • 17:15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
  • 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  • 17:17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
  • 17:18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
  • 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
  • 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
  • 17:21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
  • 17:22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
  • 17:23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
  • 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
  • 17:25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
  • 17:26 And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.

John 16

  • 16:1 These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended.
  • 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God service.
  • 16:3 And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
  • 16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
  • 16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where go you?
  • 16:6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
  • 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 to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.
  • 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
  • 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
  • 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;
  • 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
  • 16:12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
  • 16:13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
  • 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you.
  • 16:15 All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it to you.
  • 16:16 A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.
  • 16:17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
  • 16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he said, A little while? we cannot tell what he said.
  • 16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me?
  • 16:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
  • 16:21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
  • 16:22 And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
  • 16:23 And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
  • 16:24 Till now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
  • 16:25 These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.
  • 16:26 At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:
  • 16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
  • 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
  • 16:29 His disciples said to him, See, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
  • 16:30 Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.
  • 16:31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
  • 16:32 Behold, the hour comes, yes, is now come, that you 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.
  • 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace.
  • In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 15

  • 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
  • 15:2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
  • 15:3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
  • 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
  • 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
  • 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
  • 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.
  • 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
  • 15:9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love.
  • 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
  • 15:11 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
  • 15:12 This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.
  • 15:13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
  • 15:14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
  • 15:15 From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
  • 15:16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
  • 15:17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
  • 15:18 If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
  • 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
  • 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
  • 15:21 But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
  • 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
  • 15:23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
  • 15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
  • 15:25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
  • 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
  • 15:27 And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

John 14

  • 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
  • 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
  • 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
  • 14:4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.
  • 14:5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
  • 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.
  • 14:7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from now on you know him, and have seen him.
  • 14:8 Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffises us.
  • 14:9 Jesus said to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
  • 14:10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?  the words that I speak to you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
  • 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
  • 14:12 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
  • 14:13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
  • 14:14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
  • 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
  • 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
  • 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
  • 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
  • 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.
  • 14:20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
  • 14:21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
  • 14:22 Judas said to him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?
  • 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our stayed with him.
  • 14:24 He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
  • 14:25 These things have I spoken to you, being yet present with you.
  • 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
  • 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
  • 14:28 You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
  • 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.
  • 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
  • 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.

John 13

  • 13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them to the end.
  • 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;
  • 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
  • 13:4 He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
  • 13:5 After that he pours water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
  • 13:6 Then comes he to Simon Peter: and Peter said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?
  • 13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you know not now; but you shall know hereafter.
  • 13:8 Peter said to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash you not, you have no part with me.
  • 13:9 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
  • 13:10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and you are clean, but not all.
  • 13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You are not all clean.
  • 13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said to them, Know you what I have done to you?
  • 13:13 You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am.
  • 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
  • 13:15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
  • 13:16 Truly, truly, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
  • 13:17 If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
  • 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
  • 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
  • 13:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that receives whomsoever I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
  • 13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
  • 13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.
  • 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
  • 13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spoke.
  • 13:25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast said to him, Lord, who is it?
  • 13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
  • 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus to him, That you do, do quickly.
  • 13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this to him.
  • 13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
  • 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
  • 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
  • 13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
  • 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you.
  • 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
  • 13:35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
  • 13:36 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where go you? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you can not follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.
  • 13:37 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
  • 13:38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me thrice.

John 12

  • 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
  • 12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
  • 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
  • 12:4 Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
  • 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
  • 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put therein.
  • 12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying has she kept this.
  • 12:8 For the poor always you have with you; but me you have not always.
  • 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
  • 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
  • 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
  • 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
  • 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.
  • 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
  • 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, your King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.
  • 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 to him.
  • 12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore record.
  • 12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
  • 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive you how you prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
  • 12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
  • 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
  • 12:22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
  • 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
  • 12:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it stays alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
  • 12:25 He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
  • 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
  • 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour.
  • 12:28 Father, glorify your name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
  • 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him.
  • 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
  • 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
  • 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.
  • 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
  • 12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ stays for ever: and how say you, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
  • 12:35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you.  Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come on you: for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes.
  • 12:36 While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
  • 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
  • 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
  • 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
  • 12:40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
  • 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
  • 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
  • 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
  • 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
  • 12:45 And he that sees me sees him that sent me.
  • 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.
  • 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
  • 12:48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
  • 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
  • 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.
