THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT JOHN

CHAPTER 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
2 The same was in the beginning with
God.
3 All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that
was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the
light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 # There was a man sent from God,
whose name [was] John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all [men]
through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but [was sent]
to bear witness of that Light.
9 [That] was the true Light, which
lighteth every man that cometh into the
world.
10 He was in the world, and the world
was made by him, and the world knew him
not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own
received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of
God, [even] to them that believe on his
name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor
of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace
and truth.
15 # John bare witness of him, and
cried, saying, This was he of whom I
spake, He that cometh after me is
preferred before me: for he was before
me.
16 And of his fulness have all we
received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses,
[but] grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time;
the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared
[him].
19 # And this is the record of John,
when the Jews sent priests and Levites
from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art
thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied not;
but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art
thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art
thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art
thou? that we may give an answer to
them that sent us. What sayest thou of
thyself?
23 He said, I [am] the voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Make straight
the way of the Lord, as said the
prophet Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of the
Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto
him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou
be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither
that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I
baptize with water: but there standeth
one among you, whom ye know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me is
preferred before me, whose shoe's
latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethabara
beyond Jordan, where John was
baptizing.
29 # The next day John seeth Jesus
coming unto him, and saith, Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin
of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me
cometh a man which is preferred before
me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew him not: but that he
should be made manifest to Israel,
therefore am I come baptizing with
water.
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw
the Spirit descending from heaven like
a dove, and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent
me to baptize with water, the same said
unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the
Spirit descending, and remaining on
him, the same is he which baptizeth
with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this
is the Son of God.
35 # Again the next day after John
stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked,
he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him
speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and saith unto them, What
seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi,
(which is to say, being interpreted,
Master,) where dwellest thou?
39 He saith unto them, Come and see.
They came and saw where he dwelt, and
abode with him that day: for it was
about the tenth hour.
40 One of the two which heard John
[speak], and followed him, was Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother.
41 He first findeth his own brother
Simon, and saith unto him, We have
found the Messias, which is, being
interpreted, the Christ.
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And
when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou
art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt
be called Cephas, which is by
interpretation, A stone.
43 # The day following Jesus would go
forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip,
and saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the
city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith
unto him, We have found him, of whom
Moses in the law, and the prophets, did
write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can
there any good thing come out of
Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come
and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him,
and saith of him, Behold an Israelite
indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence
knowest thou me? Jesus answered and
said unto him, Before that Philip
called thee, when thou wast under the
fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto
him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God;
thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Because I said unto thee, I saw thee
under the fig tree, believest thou?
thou shalt see greater things than
these.
51 And he saith unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye
shall see heaven open, and the angels
of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of man.

CHAPTER 2
1 And the third day there was a
marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his
disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother
of Jesus saith unto him, They have no
wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what
have I to do with thee? mine hour is
not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants,
Whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it].
6 And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner of
the purifying of the Jews, containing
two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the
waterpots with water. And they filled
them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now,
and bear unto the governor of the
feast. And they bare [it].
9 When the ruler of the feast had
tasted the water that was made wine,
and knew not whence it was: (but the
servants which drew the water knew;)
the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the
beginning doth set forth good wine; and
when men have well drunk, then that
which is worse: [but] thou hast kept
the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus
in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
forth his glory; and his disciples
believed on him.
12 # After this he went down to
Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples: and they
continued there not many days.
13 # And the Jews' passover was at
hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that
sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the
changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of
small cords, he drove them all out of
the temple, and the sheep, and the
oxen; and poured out the changers'
money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves,
Take these things hence; make not my
Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it
was written, The zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up.
18 # Then answered the Jews and said
unto him, What sign shewest thou unto
us, seeing that thou doest these
things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days
I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six
years was this temple in building, and
wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his
body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the
dead, his disciples remembered that he
had said this unto them; and they
believed the scripture, and the word
which Jesus had said.
23 # Now when he was in Jerusalem at
the passover, in the feast [day], many
believed in his name, when they saw the
miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself
unto them, because he knew all [men],
25 And needed not that any should
testify of man: for he knew what was in
man.

CHAPTER 3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and
said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou
art a teacher come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a
man be born when he is old? can he
enter the second time into his mother's
womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth: so is every one that
is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him,
How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Israel, and
knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We
speak that we do know, and testify that
we have seen; and ye receive not our
witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly
things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down from
heaven, [even] the Son of man which is
in heaven.
14 # And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son
of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life.
16 # For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.
18 # He that believeth on him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth
the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to
the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 # After these things came Jesus and
his disciples into the land of Judaea;
and there he tarried with them, and
baptized.
23 # And John also was baptizing in
Aenon near to Salim, because there was
much water there: and they came, and
were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into
prison.
25 # Then there arose a question
between [some] of John's disciples and
the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said
unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee
beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest
witness, behold, the same baptizeth,
and all [men] come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can
receive nothing, except it be given him
from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that
I said, I am not the Christ, but that I
am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, which standeth and heareth
him, rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I [must]
decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above
all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he
that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard,
that he testifieth; and no man
receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony
hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh
the words of God: for God giveth not
the Spirit by measure [unto him].
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath
given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life: and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the
wrath of God abideth on him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CHAPTER 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye
believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many
mansions: if [it were] not [so], I
would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, [there]
ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way
ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know
not whither thou goest; and how can we
know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have
known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen
him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us
the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so
long time with you, and yet hast thou
not known me, Philip? he that hath seen
me hath seen the Father; and how sayest
thou [then], Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the
Father, and the Father in me? the words
that I speak unto you I speak not of
myself: but the Father that dwelleth in
me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I [am] in the
Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
that believeth on me, the works that I
do shall he do also; and greater
[works] than these shall he do; because
I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my
name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my
name, I will do [it].
15 # If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter, that
he may abide with you for ever;
17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth
him not, neither knoweth him: but ye
know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I
will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world
seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I
[am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of
my Father, and I will love him, and
will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot,
Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest
thyself unto us, and not unto the
world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If
a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him, and we
will come unto him, and make our abode
with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is
not mine, but the Father's which sent
me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you,
being [yet] present with you.
26 But the Comforter, [which is] the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said
unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I
go away, and come [again] unto you. If
ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because
I said, I go unto the Father: for my
Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it
come to pass, that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with
you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I
love the Father; and as the Father gave
me commandment, even so I do. Arise,
let us go hence.

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

CHAPTER 16
1 These things have I spoken unto you,
that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the
synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever killeth you will think that
he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto
you, because they have not known the
Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you,
that when the time shall come, ye may
remember that I told you of them. And
these things I said not unto you at the
beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent
me; and none of you asketh me, Whither
goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things
unto you, sorrow hath filled your
heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It
is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you; but if I
depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove
the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on
me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my
Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of
this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto
you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
[that] shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall shew [it]
unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are
mine: therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and shall shew [it] unto
you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see
me: and again, a little while, and ye
shall see me, because I go to the
Father.
17 Then said [some] of his disciples
among themselves, What is this that he
saith unto us, A little while, and ye
shall not see me: and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me: and,
Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this
that he saith, A little while? we
cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were
desirous to ask him, and said unto
them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of
that I said, A little while, and ye
shall not see me: and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That
ye shall weep and lament, but the world
shall rejoice: and ye shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be
turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath
sorrow, because her hour is come: but
as soon as she is delivered of the
child, she remembereth no more the
anguish, for joy that a man is born
into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow:
but I will see you again, and your
heart shall rejoice, and your joy no
man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me
nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father
in my name, he will give [it] you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my
name: ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you
in proverbs: but the time cometh, when
I shall no more speak unto you in
proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly
of the Father.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name:
and I say not unto you, that I will
pray the Father for you:
27 For the Father himself loveth you,
because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am
come into the world: again, I leave the
world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now
speakest thou plainly, and speakest no
proverb.
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest
all things, and needest not that any
man should ask thee: by this we believe
that thou camest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now
believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now
come, that ye shall be scattered, every
man to his own, and shall leave me
alone: and yet I am not alone, because
the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace. In the
world ye shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome the
world.

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

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

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

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

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