6 ¶ 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 signs which he did on the sick.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw a great company come unto him; he said unto Philip, From where shall we buy bread that these may eat?
6 But he said this to prove him, for he knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denarius of bread is not sufficient for them, that each 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 has five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?
10 Then 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 that were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they desired.
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 were left over from those that had eaten.
14 Then those men, as they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth the prophet that was to come into the world.
15 ¶ Jesus therefore knowing that they would come and take him by force to make him king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down unto the sea
17 and entered into a ship and were crossing 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 twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh unto the ship, and they were afraid.
20 But he said unto them, I AM; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land where they went.
22 ¶ The day following when the multitude which was on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one in 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 (but other boats came from Tiberias near unto the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks);
24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also entered into the 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 didst thou come here?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 Labour not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you, for him has God the Father sealed.
28 ¶ Then they said 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 has sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them of the bread from the heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from the heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from the heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he who descended from heaven and gives life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, always give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I AM the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes in me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That even though ye have seen me, ye do not believe.
37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and he that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from the heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will who has sent me, that of all whom he has given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again in the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured of him because he said, I AM the bread which descended from the 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 says, I descended from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who has sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard from the Father and has learned comes unto me.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me has eternal life.
48 I AM the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and are dead.
50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 I AM the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, they 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 contended among themselves, saying, How is he able to 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 shall have no life in you.
54 Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, he shall also live by me.
58 This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate manna and are dead; he that eats of this bread shall live eternally.
59 He said these things in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum.
60 ¶ Many therefore of his disciples when they had heard this said, This is a hard word; who can hear it?
61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said unto them, Does this offend you?
62 What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 The Spirit is he that gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken unto you, they are Spirit and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore I said unto you that no one can come unto me unless it is given unto them of my Father.
66 After this, 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 know that thou art the 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 it was he that 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 feast of the Jews, of the tabernacles, was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart from this place and go into Judea that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For no one who seeks to be clearly known does anything in secret. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For not even his brethren believed 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 it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were 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; others said, No, but he deceives the people.
13 But no one 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 marvelled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but he that seeks 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 keeps the law? Why do ye go about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon; who goes 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 receives circumcision without the law of Moses being broken, are ye angry at me because I have made a man entirely whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
25 Then one of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 But, behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Have the rulers truly understood that this is indeed the Christ?
27 But we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one shall know where he is from.
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye know me, and ye know from where I come, but I have 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 has sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him, but no one laid hands on him because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed in him and said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this man has done?
32 The Pharisees heard the people that murmured such things concerning him, and the princes of the priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.
33 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I shall be with you, and then I shall go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I shall be, ye shall not be able to come.
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, Where will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I shall be ye shall not be able to come?
37 ¶ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come unto me and drink.
38 He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which those that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Then many of the people, when they heard this word, said, Truly this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Has not the scripture said, That the Christ comes 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 one laid hands on him.
45 ¶ Then the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees came, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man.
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the princes or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who do not know the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),
51 Does our law judge any man before it hears him and knows what he does?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see, for a prophet has never arisen out of Galilee.
53 And each one 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 Then 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, tempting him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 And those who 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 that had been in the midst.
10 Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?
11 And she said, No one, Lord. Then Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.
12 ¶ Then Jesus spoke again unto them, saying, I AM the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.
13 Then the Pharisees said unto him, Thou dost bear witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true, for I know from where I came and where I go; but ye do not know where I came from and where I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh, but I judge no one.
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 bears witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears 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 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 ¶ Then Jesus said again unto them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, but ye shall die in your sins; where I go, ye shall not be able to come.
22 Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, ye shall not be able to come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 Therefore I said unto you that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye do not believe that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.
25 And said they unto him, Who art thou? Then Jesus said unto them, He that I said unto you also from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge regarding you, but he that sent me is true; and those things which I have heard of him, I speak in the world.
27 But they did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Then Jesus said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I AM and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone, for I always do those things that please him.
30 As he spoke these words, many believed in him.
31 ¶ Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye shall be my disciples indeed;
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
33 They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and we have never served anyone; how sayest thou, Ye shall be set free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the slave of sin.
35 And the slave does not abide in the house for ever, but the Son abides for ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall set 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 has 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 sons, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God; Abraham did not do this.
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 surely love me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither did I come 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 desires of your father ye desire to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 ¶ Which of you reproves me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God hears God’s words; ye therefore hear them not because ye are not of God.
48 Then the Jews answered, and said unto him, Do we not say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeks it and judges.
51 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If anyone keeps my word, he shall not see death forever.
52 Then the Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keeps my word, he shall not taste death forever?
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham who died? and the prophets died; whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father that glorifies 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 do not know him, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I know him and keep his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.
57 Then the Jews said 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 concealed himself and went out of the temple, and going through the midst of them, went away.
9 ¶ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 It is expedient that I do the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes, when no one 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). Then he went and washed and came back seeing.
8 ¶ The neighbours, therefore, and those who 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 Then they said unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my 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 beforehand had been blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus had made the clay and had 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 my eyes, and I washed and do see.
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
17 They said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that has 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 does 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 sees, we know not; or who has 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 anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
24 Then they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear? Do ye also desire to be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God spoke unto Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where he is from.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Indeed this is a marvellous thing that ye do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone should fear God and do his will, him he will hear.
32 Since the world began it has not been heard of that anyone 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 finding 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 seen him, and it is he that talks with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see might see and that those who see might be blinded.
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 because ye say, We see, therefore your sin abides.
10 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 And they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
6 Jesus spoke this parable unto them, but they did not understand what it was that 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; whosoever enters in by me shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief comes not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy the sheep; I am come that they might have life and that they might have it in abundance.
11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 But the hireling, who is not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep.
13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and the sheep do not belong to him.
14 I AM the good shepherd, and know my sheep and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knows me, even so I know the Father, and I lay down my soul for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold; it is expedient that I bring them also, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my soul that I might take it again.
18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received of my Father.
19 ¶ There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these words.
20 And many of them said, He has a demon and is beside himself; why do ye hear him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 ¶ And they celebrated the dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews came round about him and said unto him, Until when wilt thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe; 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 anyone pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one 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 showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we do not stone thee, 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 has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I do, though ye do not believe 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 came unto him and said, John certainly did no sign, but all the 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 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 he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
8 His disciples said unto him, Rabbi, the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and goest thou there again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.
10 But he who walks in the night stumbles because there is no light in him.
11 Having said that he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then his disciples said, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall be saved.
13 But Jesus had spoken of his death, and they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus said unto them plainly, Lazarus has died.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then Thomas said, who is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us go also, 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 near unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
19 and many of the Jews had come 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 unto thee.
23 Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I AM the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, though he is dead, yet shall he live;
26 and whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She said unto him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
28 And having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calls 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 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goes 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 would not have died.
33 ¶ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he became enraged in the Spirit and stirred himself up
34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also caused that this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore, becoming enraged again in himself, came 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 had died, said unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks, for he has been dead four days.
40 Jesus said unto her, Did I not say unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shalt see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, 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 having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 Then he that had been 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 had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed on him.
46 But some of them went unto the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, What shall we do? for this man does many signs.
48 If we let him thus alone, everyone will believe on him, and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and the 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 not that the whole nation be lost.
51 And this he spoke not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 and not for that nation only, but that he should also gather together in one the sons of God that were scattered abroad.
53 So that from that day forth they took counsel together to kill him.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there unto a country near to the wilderness into a city called Ephraim and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the passover of the Jews was now at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover to purify themselves;
56 and they sought for Jesus and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the high priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if anyone knew where he was he should show it, that they might take him.
12 ¶ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those that 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 odour of the ointment.
4 Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who should betray him,
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarius 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 would take from what was put therein.
7 Therefore Jesus said, Let her alone; against the day of my burying she has kept this;
8 for the poor ye always have with you, but ye shall not always have me.
9 A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came not only for Jesus’ sake, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 So the princes of the priests took counsel that they might also put Lazarus to death
11 because by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.
12 ¶ On the next day the multitude 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 he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat upon it, as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold, thy King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 His disciples did not understand these things 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 multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
18 For this cause the multitude also met him, for they had heard that he had done this sign.
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, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour comes in which the Son of man shall be clarified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; the one that serves me, will my Father honour.
27 ¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this have I come in this hour.
28 Father, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again.
29 The people, therefore, that were present 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 out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man 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 walks in darkness does not know where he goes.
36 While ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may be the sons of light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and hid himself from them.
37 ¶ But although he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who shall believe our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory and spoke of him.
42 ¶ Nevertheless, even among the princes 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 glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 ¶ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes in me, believes not in me, but in him that sent me,
45 and he that sees me sees him that sent me.
46 I am come as a light into the world that whosoever believes in me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if anyone hears my words and believes not, I judge him not, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words has one that judges 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 eternal life; 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 was 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, 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 arose from the 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 with which he was girded.
6 Then he came 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 dost not understand now, but thou shalt understand afterwards.
8 Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have 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 needs only to wash his feet because he is completely clean, 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 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, the Lord and the 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 slave is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed 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 eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me,
19 now I tell you before it is done, so that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receives whomsoever I send receives me, and he that receives me receives 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 spoke.
23 And one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was seated at the table beside Jesus.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to this one that he should ask him who it was of whom he spoke.
25 He then, reclining 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, That which thou shalt do, do it more quickly.
28 Now no one at the table understood for what purpose he spoke 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 need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out, and it was now night.
31 ¶ Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man clarified, and God is clarified in him.
32 If God is clarified in him, God shall also clarify him in himself and shall straightway clarify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and as I said unto the Jews, Where 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 everyone know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 ¶ Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where 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 soul for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy soul for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow until thou hast denied me three times.
14 ¶ Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many dwelling places; 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 take you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 ¶ So that ye know where I go, and ye know the way.
5 Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not where thou goest; how, therefore, can we know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, I AM the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from now on ye know him and have seen him.
8 Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice us.
9 Jesus said unto him, Have I been such a long time with you, and yet thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has 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 dwells in me, he does 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 believes 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 the Father in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments;
16 and I will ask 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 does not see him, or know him; but ye know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.
18 ¶ I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall 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 has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
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, He who loves me will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and dwell with him.
24 He that does not love me does not keep my words, and the word which ye have heard is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.
25 ¶ I have spoken these things unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all the things that I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, 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 comes 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 comes and has 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 from here.
15 ¶ I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he shall take away; and every one that bears fruit, he shall purge that they 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 abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I AM the vine, ye are the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
6 He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and 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 In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.
9 ¶ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide 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 I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and that your joy might be fulfilled.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 From now on I do not call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does; 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 whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it unto you.
17 This I command you, that ye love one another.
