John 11

  • 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
  • 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
  • 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
  • 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
  • 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
  • 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he stayed two days still in the same place where he was.
  • 11:7 Then after that said he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
  • 11:8 His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
  • 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
  • 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
  • 11:11 These things said he: and after that he said to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
  • 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
  • 11:13 However, Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
  • 11:14 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
  • 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go to him.
  • 11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
  • 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
  • 11:18 Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
  • 11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
  • 11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
  • 11:21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
  • 11:22 But I know, that even now, whatever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
  • 11:23 Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.
  • 11:24 Martha said to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
  • 11:25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
  • 11:26 And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this?
  • 11:27 She said to him, Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
  • 11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calls for you.
  • 11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him.
  • 11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
  • 11:31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the grave to weep there.
  • 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
  • 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
  • 11:34 And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.
  • 11:35 Jesus wept.
  • 11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
  • 11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
  • 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it.
  • 11:39 Jesus said, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
  • 11:40 Jesus said to her, Said I not to you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
  • 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
  • 11:42 And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
  • 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
  • 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go.
  • 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
  • 11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
  • 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
  • 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
  • 11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, You know nothing at all,
  • 11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
  • 11:51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
  • 11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
  • 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
  • 11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
  • 11:55 And the Jews’ passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
  • 11:56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
  • 11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.

John 10

  • 10:1 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
  • 10:2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
  • 10:3 To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
  • 10:4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
  • 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
  • 10:6 This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
  • 10:7 Then said Jesus to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
  • 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
  • 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
  • 10:10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
  • 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
  • 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
  • 10:13 The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
  • 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
  • 10:15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
  • 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
  • 10:17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
  • 10:18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
  • 10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
  • 10:20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why hear you him?
  • 10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
  • 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
  • 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
  • 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
  • 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
  • 10:26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
  • 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
  • 10:28 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
  • 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
  • 10:30 I and my Father are one.
  • 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
  • 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
  • 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
  • 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?
  • 10:35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
  • 10:36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
  • 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
  • 10:38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
  • 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
  • 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he stayed.
  • 10:41 And many resorted to him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
  • 10:42 And many believed on him there.

John 9

  • 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
  • 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
  • 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
  • 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.
  • 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
  • 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
  • 9:7 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
  • 9:8 The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
  • 9:9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
  • 9:10 Therefore said they to him, How were your eyes opened?
  • 9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
  • 9:12 Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
  • 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
  • 9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
  • 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
  • 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
  • 9:17 They say to the blind man again, What say you of him, that he has opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
  • 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
  • 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?
  • 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
  • 9:21 But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
  • 9:22 These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
  • 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
  • 9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
  • 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
  • 9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to you? how opened he your eyes?
  • 9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear: why would you hear it again? will you also be his disciples?
  • 9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
  • 9:29 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from where he is.
  • 9:30 The man answered and said to them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that you know not from where he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
  • 9:31 Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
  • 9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
  • 9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
  • 9:34 They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
  • 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?
  • 9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
  • 9:37 And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he that talks with you.
  • 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
  • 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
  • 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?
  • 9:41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.

John 8

  • 8:1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
  • 8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them.
  • 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,
  • 8:4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
  • 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?
  • 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
  • 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
  • 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
  • 8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.
  • 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?
  • 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.
  • 8:12 Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
  • 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bore record of yourself; your record is not true.
  • 8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go.
  • 8:15 You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
  • 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
  • 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
  • 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me.
  • 8:19 Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also.
  • 8:20 These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
  • 8:21 Then said Jesus again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.
  • 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he said, Where I go, you cannot come.
  • 8:23 And he said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
  • 8:24 I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.
  • 8:25 Then said they to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.
  • 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
  • 8:27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
  • 8:28 Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
  • 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
  • 8:30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
  • 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
  • 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
  • 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?
  • 8:34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
  • 8:35 And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever.
  • 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
  • 8:37 I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
  • 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.
  • 8:39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
  • 8:40 But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
  • 8:41 You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
  • 8:42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
  • 8:43 Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word.
  • 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
  • 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
  • 8:46 Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?
  • 8:47 He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.
  • 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?
  • 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.
  • 8:50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
  • 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
  • 8:52 Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that you have a devil.  Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
  • 8:53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?
  • 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
  • 8:55 Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
  • 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
  • 8:57 Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
  • 8:58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
  • 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by.

John 7

  • 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
  • 7:2 Now the Jew’s feast of tabernacles was at hand.
  • 7:3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
  • 7:4 For there is no man that does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
  • 7:5 For neither did his brothers believe in him.
  • 7:6 Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.
  • 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
  • 7:8 Go you up to this feast: I go not up yet to this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
  • 7:9 When he had said these words to them, he stayed still in Galilee.
  • 7:10 But when his brothers were gone up, then went he also up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
  • 7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
  • 7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceives the people.
  • 7:13 However, no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
  • 7:14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
  • 7:15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?
  • 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
  • 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
  • 7:18 He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
  • 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law?  Why go you about to kill me?
  • 7:20 The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?
  • 7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you all marvel.
  • 7:22 Moses therefore gave to you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
  • 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are you angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
  • 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
  • 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
  • 7:26 But, see, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
  • 7:27 However, we know this man from where he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows from where he is.
  • 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, You both know me, and you know from where I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.
  • 7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.
  • 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
  • 7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
  • 7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
  • 7:33 Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
  • 7:34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
  • 7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
  • 7:36 What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come?
  • 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
  • 7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
  • 7:39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
  • 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
  • 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
  • 7:42 Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
  • 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
  • 7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
  • 7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have you not brought him?
  • 7:46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
  • 7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are you also deceived?
  • 7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
  • 7:49 But this people who knows not the law are cursed.
  • 7:50 Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
  • 7:51 Does our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he does?
  • 7:52 They answered and said to him, Are you also of Galilee?  Search, and look: for out of Galilee rises no prophet.
  • 7:53 And every man went to his own house.

John 6

  • 6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
  • 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
  • 6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
  • 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
  • 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he said to Philip, From where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
  • 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
  • 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
  • 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
  • 6:9 There is a lad here, which has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
  • 6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
  • 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
  • 6:12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
  • 6:13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
  • 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
  • 6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
  • 6:16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down to the sea,
  • 6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
  • 6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
  • 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the ship: and they were afraid.
  • 6:20 But he said to them, It is I; be not afraid.
  • 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land where they went.
  • 6:22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one into where his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
  • 6:23 (However, there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
  • 6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
  • 6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when came you here?
  • 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
  • 6:27 Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him has God the Father sealed.
  • 6:28 Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
  • 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
  • 6:30 They said therefore to him, What sign show you then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?
  • 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
  • 6:32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
  • 6:33 For the bread of God is he which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.
  • 6:34 Then said they to him, Lord, ever more give us this bread.
  • 6:35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.
  • 6:36 But I said to you, That you also have seen me, and believe not.
  • 6:37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.
  • 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
  • 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which has sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
  • 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
  • 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
  • 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he said, I came down from heaven?
  • 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
  • 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
  • 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.  Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me.
  • 6:46 Not that any man has seen the Father, save he which is of God, he has seen the Father.
  • 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me has everlasting life.
  • 6:48 I am that bread of life.
  • 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
  • 6:50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
  • 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
  • 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
  • 6:53 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
  • 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
  • 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
  • 6:56 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.
  • 6:57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eats me, even he shall live by me.
  • 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live for ever.
  • 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
  • 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
  • 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Does this offend you?
  • 6:62 What and if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
  • 6:63 It is the spirit that vivifies; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.
  • 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 should betray him.
  • 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him of my Father.
  • 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
  • 6:67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away?
  • 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.
  • 6:69 And we believe and are sure that you are that Christ, the Son of the living God.
  • 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
  • 6:71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

John 5

  • 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
  • 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
  • 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of weak folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
  • 5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.
  • 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
  • 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said to him, Will you be made whole?
  • 5:7 The weak 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 steps down before me.
  • 5:8 Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk.
  • 5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
  • 5:10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
  • 5:11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said to me, Take up your bed, and walk.
  • 5:12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?
  • 5:13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
  • 5:14 Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to you.
  • 5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
  • 5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
  • 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works till now, and I work.
  • 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
  • 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
  • 5:20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
  • 5:21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and vivifies them; even so the Son vivifies whom he will.
  • 5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:
  • 5:23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father.  He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
  • 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life.
  • 5:25 Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
  • 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
  • 5:27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
  • 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
  • 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
  • 5:30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
  • 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
  • 5:32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
  • 5:33 You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
  • 5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
  • 5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
  • 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
  • 5:37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me.  You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
  • 5:38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
  • 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
  • 5:40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
  • 5:41 I receive not honor from men.
  • 5:42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
  • 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
  • 5:44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
  • 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
  • 5:46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
  • 5:47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

John 4

  • 4:1 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
  • 4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
  • 4:3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
  • 4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
  • 4:5 Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
  • 4:6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
  • 4:7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink.
  • 4:8 (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
  • 4:9 Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
  • 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
  • 4:11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
  • 4:12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
  • 4:13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
  • 4:14 But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
  • 4:15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
  • 4:16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
  • 4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
  • 4:18 For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
  • 4:19 The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
  • 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
  • 4:21 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
  • 4:22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
  • 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
  • 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
  • 4:25 The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
  • 4:26 Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.
  • 4:27 And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
  • 4:28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,
  • 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
  • 4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
  • 4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
  • 4:32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
  • 4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?
  • 4:34 Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
  • 4:35 Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
  • 4:36 And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
  • 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
  • 4:38 I sent you to reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
  • 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
  • 4:40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
  • 4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;
  • 4:42 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
  • 4:43 Now after two days he departed there, and went into Galilee.
  • 4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
  • 4:45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
  • 4:46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
  • 4:47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and sought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
  • 4:48 Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
  • 4:49 The nobleman said to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
  • 4:50 Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.
  • 4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
  • 4:52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
  • 4:53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
  • 4:54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

John 3

  • 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
  • 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
  • 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
  • 3:4 Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
  • 3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
  • 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
  • 3:7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
  • 3:8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
  • 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
  • 3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
  • 3:11 Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
  • 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
  • 3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
  • 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
  • 3:15 That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
  • 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
  • 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
  • 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
  • 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
  • 3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
  • 3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
  • 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
  • 3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
  • 3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
  • 3:25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
  • 3:26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
  • 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
  • 3:28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
  • 3:29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
  • 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
  • 3:31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
  • 3:32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
  • 3:33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
  • 3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
  • 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
  • 3:36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God stays on him.

John 2

  • 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
  • 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
  • 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
  • 2:4 Jesus said to her, Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour is not yet come.
  • 2:5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever he said to you, do it.
  • 2:6 And there were set there six water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
  • 2:7 Jesus said to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
  • 2:8 And he said to them, Draw out now, and bear to the governor of the feast. And they bore it.
  • 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not from where it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
  • 2:10 And said to him, Every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.
  • 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
  • 2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
  • 2:13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
  • 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
  • 2:15 And when he had made a whip of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
  • 2:16 And said to them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
  • 2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up.
  • 2:18 Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign show you to us, seeing that you do these things?
  • 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
