6 After these things Jesus went across 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 those who were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up onto a mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 And when Jesus lifted up His eyes and saw a great company coming unto Him, He said unto Philip, “Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”
6 And this He said to test 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, said unto Him,
9 “There is a lad here who 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 those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.
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 had done, said, “This is in truth that Prophet who is coming 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 onto a mountain alone.
16 And as evening had now come, His disciples went down unto the sea,
17 and entered into a boat and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing nigh unto the boat; and they were afraid.
20 But He said unto them, “It is I; be not afraid.”
21 Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.
22 The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save the one into which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not gone with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone
23 (however there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks)”
24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took boats 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 ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 Labor 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 on Him hath God the Father set His seal.”
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 in Him whom He hath sent.”
30 They said therefore unto Him, “What sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? What works dost thou do?
31 Our fathers ate 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 that cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world.”
34 Then they said 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 in 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 who 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 who seeth the Son and believeth in 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 unless the Father who 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 all be taught by God.’ Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned from the Father cometh unto Me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He that is of God; He hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth in Me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that Bread of Life.
49 Your fathers ate 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, unless 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 ate 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 of His disciples therefore, when they had heard this, said, “This is a 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 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 who believed not and who should betray Him.
65 And He said, “Therefore said I unto you that no man can come unto Me, unless it were given unto him by My Father.”
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him.
67 Then Jesus said 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 spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for he it was who should betray Him, being one of the twelve.
7 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, for He would not walk in Judea, 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 Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For no man doeth anything in secret if he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show 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 always 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 fully come.”
9 When He had said these words unto them, He remained still in Galilee.
10 But when His brethren had gone up, then He also went 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,” and others said, “Nay, for he deceiveth the people.”
13 Yet no man spoke 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 marveled, saying, “How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?”
16 Jesus answered them, “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 from God, or whether I speak from Myself.
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but He that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
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 receive circumcision on the Sabbath day, 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 from 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 Yet we know from whence this man comes; but when Christ cometh, no man will know from whence He comes.”
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple as He taught, saying, “Ye both know Me, and ye know from 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 had not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed in 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 the Jews said 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 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink.
38 He that believeth in Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
39 (But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believe in Him should receive; for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, “In 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 out 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, who said unto them, “Why have ye not brought him?”
46 The officers answered, “Never did man speak like this man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 But this people, who knoweth not the law, are cursed.”
50 Nicodemus said 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 from Galilee? Search and look, for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.”
53 And every man went unto his own house.
8 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 said 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 testing Him, that they might have cause 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 Himself up 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 who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the eldest even unto the last, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted Himself up 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 spoke 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 according to 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 they said 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 spoke Jesus in the treasury as He taught in the temple, and no man laid hands on Him, for His hour was not yet come.
21 Then Jesus said 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 they said unto Him, “Who art thou?” And Jesus said 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 spoke 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 spoke those words, many believed in Him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed in 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 are 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 said 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 from God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We are 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 convicteth 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 the Jews answered 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 honor My Father, and ye do dishonor 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, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom makest thou thyself?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father that honoreth 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 they took 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.
9 And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from his birth.
2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Master, who sinned, 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 with 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 interpreted means, “Sent”). He went his way therefore and washed, and came back seeing.
8 The neighbors therefore, and those who before had seen 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 they said unto him, “How were thine eyes opened?”
11 He answered and said, “A man who 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 they said unto him, “Where is he?” He said, “I know not.”
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand 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 some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such miracles?” And there was a division among them.
17 They said 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 spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already that if any man confessed 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 they again called the man who 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 not, 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 do to thee? How opened he thine eyes?”
27 He answered them, “I have told you already, and ye did not hear. Why 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 spoke 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 marvelous 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 worshiper of God and doeth His will, him He heareth.
32 Since the world began it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
33 If this man were not from 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 in the Son of God?”
36 He answered and said, “Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in 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 worshiped Him.
39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they that see not might see, and that they that see might be made blind.”
40 And some of the Pharisees who 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.
10 “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 doorkeeper 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 Jesus spoke unto them, but they understood not what things they were which He spoke 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 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 a 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 a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep and am known by 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 from 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, who gave them to 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 shown 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 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 do ye say 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 the Jordan into the place where John had first baptized; and there He abode.
41 And many resorted unto Him and said that John did no miracle, but all things that John spoke of this Man were true.
42 And many believed in Him there.
11 Now a certain man was sick named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (It was that Mary who had 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 heard therefore that Lazarus was sick, He stayed two days still in the same place where He was.
7 Then after that He said to His disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
8 His disciples said 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 said unto them, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awaken him out of sleep.”
12 Then said His disciples, “Lord, if he sleep he shall do well.”
13 However Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He had spoken of the taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus said unto them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go unto him.”
16 Then Thomas, who was called Didymus, said unto his fellow disciples, “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 two miles away,
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 Martha said unto Jesus, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But I know that even now, whatsoever Thou wilt ask of God, God will give it Thee.”
23 Jesus said unto her, “Thy brother shall rise again.”
24 Martha said unto Him, “I know that he shall rise again at the resurrection on 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 said unto Him, “Yea, Lord, I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who 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 has come, and calleth for thee.”
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came unto Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him.
31 The Jews then, who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, “She goeth unto the grave to weep there.”
32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying unto Him, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who 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, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?”
38 Jesus therefore again, groaning in Himself, came to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus said, “Take ye away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he hath been dead four days.”
40 Jesus said unto her, “Said I not unto thee that if thou would believe, thou should 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 who 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 said unto them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed in 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 shall we do? For this man doeth many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe in 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 he spoke this 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 who were scattered abroad.
53 So from that day forth, they took counsel together to put Him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went thence unto a region near 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 they sought for Jesus and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, saying, “What think ye — that he will not come to the feast?”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if any man knew where He was, he should report it, that they might take Him.
12 Then Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, who had been dead and whom He had raised from the dead.
2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son who was to betray Him, said,
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 money bag and took what was put therein.
7 Then Jesus said, “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 Many 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 by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 On the next day many people who had 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 Zion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.”
16 These things His disciples understood not at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things unto Him.
17 The people therefore who were with Him, when He called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore record.
18 For this cause the people also met Him, for they heard that He had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “Perceive ye how ye prevail not at all? Behold, the world has gone after him!”
20 And there were certain Greeks among them, who came up to worship at the feast.
21 They came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we would see Jesus.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip told 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, unless a grain 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 honor.
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 there came a voice from Heaven, saying, “I Have Both Glorified It, And Will Glorify It Again.”
29 The people therefore who stood by and heard it said that it thundered. Others said, “An angel spoke 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 from 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 spoke Jesus, and departed and hid Himself from them.
37 But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not in Him,
38 that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because as Isaiah 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 Isaiah when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.
42 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also, many believed in 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 out and said, “He that believeth in Me, believeth not in Me, but in 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 in 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 who 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.”
13 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, and 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 had come from God and was going to God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, and took a towel and girded Himself.
5 After that He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.
6 Then came He to Simon Peter, and Peter said 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 said 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 said unto Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.”
10 Jesus said to him, “He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean every whit. And ye are clean, but not all.”
11 (For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “Ye are not all clean.”)
12 So after He had washed their feet and had taken His garments and had sat 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 sentMe.”
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 at one another, not knowing of whom He spoke.
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 spoke.
25 He then, leaning on Jesus’ breast, said 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 Jesus said unto him, “What thou doest, do quickly.”
28 Now no man at the table knew with what intent He spoke this unto him.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the money bag, that Jesus had said unto him, “Buy those things that we have need of for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Judas then, having received the sop, went immediately out. And it was night.
31 Therefore when he had 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 say I 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 for 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.
14 “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 said unto Him, “Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said 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 said unto Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.”
9 Jesus said unto him, “Have I been so long a 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, ‘Show 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 in Me, the works that I do he shall 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 anything 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 you 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 by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said unto Him, “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 you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
25 “These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, who 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, as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
15 “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, unless it abide in the vine, no more can ye, unless 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 to you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
