Bible in 90 Days
6 5 Five thousand are fed with five loaves and two fishes. 15 Christ goeth apart from the people. 17 As his disciples were rowing, 19 he cometh to them walking on the water. 26 He reasoneth of the true 27 and everlasting, 35 bread of life. 42, 52 The Jews murmur, 60 and many of the disciples, 66 depart from him. 69 The Apostles confess him to be the Son of God.
1 After these things, Jesus went his way [a]over the sea of Galilee, which is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles, which he did on them that were diseased.
3 Then Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 Now the Passover a (A)feast of the Jews was near.
5 (B)[b]Then Jesus lift up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude came unto him, he said unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these might eat?
6 (And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.)
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may take a little.
8 Then said unto him one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,
9 There is a little boy here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. (Now there was much grass in that place.) Then the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the bread, and gave thanks, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down: and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 And when they were satisfied, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the broken meat which remaineth, that nothing be lost.
13 Then they gathered it together, and filled twelve baskets with the broken meat of the five barley loaves, which remained unto them that had eaten.
14 Then the men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into the world.
15 [c]When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come, and take him to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 ¶ [d]When even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 (C)And entered into a ship, and went over the sea, [e]towards Capernaum: and now it was dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the Sea arose with a great wind that blew.
19 And when they had rowed about five and twenty, or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near unto the ship: so they were afraid.
20 But he said unto them, It is I: be not afraid.
21 Then [f]willingly they received him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the land, whither they went.
22 ¶ The day following, the people which stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was none other ship there, save that one, where into his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the ship, but that his disciples were gone alone,
23 And that there came other ships from Tiberias near unto the place where they ate the bread, after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Now when the people saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 [g]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 [h]Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath (D)God the Father [i]sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the [j]works of God?
29 [k]Jesus answered, and said unto them, (E)[l]This is the work of God, that ye believe in him, whom he hath sent.
30 [m]They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see it, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat Manna in the desert, as it is (F)written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 [n]Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not [o]that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you that true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then they said unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am that bread [p]of life: he that cometh to me, shall not 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 [q]All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, I cast not away.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine [r]own will, but his will which hath sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every man which [s]seeth the Son, and believeth in him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 [t]The Jews then murmured at him because he said, I am that bread, which is come down from heaven.
42 And they said, (G)Is not this Jesus that son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith he, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus then answered, and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father, which hath sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the (H)[u]Prophets, And they shall be all [v]taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me:
46 (I)Not that any man hath seen the Father, [w]save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.
48 [x]I am that bread of life.
49 (J)Your fathers did eat Manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 [y]This is that bread, which cometh down from heaven, that he which eateth of it, should not die.
51 [z]I am that [aa]living bread, which came down from heaven: if any man [ab]eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 [ac]Then the Jews strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have [ad]no life in you.
54 Whosoever (K)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 [ae]that living Father hath sent me, so live I by the [af]Father, and he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten Manna, and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live forever.
59 These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 [ag]Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) said, This is an hard saying: who can hear it?
61 But Jesus knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What then if ye should see that Son of man ascend up (L)where he was before?
63 [ah]It is the [ai]spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, are spirit and life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not: for Jesus knew from the beginning, which they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of my Father.
66 [aj]From that time, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Master, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life:
69 And we believe and know that thou art that Christ that Son of the living God.
70 [ak]Jesus answered them, Have not I (M)chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 Now he spake it of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, though he was one of the twelve.
7 2 Christ, after his cousins were gone up to the feast of Tabernacles, 10 goeth thither privily. 12 The people’s sundry opinions of him. 14 He teacheth in the Temple. 32 The Priests command to take him. 41 Strife among the multitude about him, 47 and between the Pharisees and the officers that were sent to take him, 50 and Nicodemus.
1 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, and would not walk in Judea: for the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jews’ (N)[al]feast of the Tabernacles was at hand.
3 [am]His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples may see thy works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth anything secretly, and he himself seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For as yet his [an]brethren believed not in him.
6 [ao]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 will not go up yet unto this feast: (O)for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 ¶ These things he said unto them, and abode still in Galilee.
10 [ap]But as soon as his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were privily.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay: but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake [aq]openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 [ar]Now when [as]half the feast was done, Jesus went up into the Temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that he never learned!
16 [at]Jesus answered them, and said, [au]My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 [av]He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 (P)[aw]Did not Moses give you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? (Q)Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 [ax]Jesus answered, and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 (R)Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the (S)fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the Sabbath receive circumcision, that the [ay]Law of Moses should not be broken, be ye angry with me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?
24 (T)[az]Judge not [ba]according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 ¶ [bb]Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they go about to kill?
26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him: do the rulers know indeed that this is indeed that Christ?
27 [bc]Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when that Christ cometh, no man shall know whence he is.
28 ¶ [bd]Then cried Jesus in the Temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am: yet am I not come of myself, but he that sent me, is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am of him, and he hath sent me.
30 [be]Then they sought to take him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 Now many of the people believed on him, and said, When that Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?
32 [bf]The Pharisees heard that the people murmured these things of him, and the Pharisees, and high Priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet am I a little while with you, and then go I unto him that sent me.
34 (U)Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me, and where I am, can ye not come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto them that are [bg]dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me? and where I am, can ye not come?
37 [bh]Now in the [bi]last and (V)great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth in me, (W)as saith the [bj]Scripture, out of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life.
39 ((X)This spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed in him, should receive: for the [bk]holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet [bl]glorified.)
40 [bm]So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, (Y)Of a truth this is that Prophet:
41 Others said, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galilee?
42 (Z)Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So was there dissension among the people for him.
44 And some of them would have taken him, but no man laid hands on him.
45 [bn]Then came the officers to the high Priests and Pharisees, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 [bo]Doth any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believe in him?
49 But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed,
50 Nicodemus said unto them, ((AA)he that came to Jesus by night, and was one of them.)
51 Doth our Law judge a man before it hear him, (AB)and know [bp]what he hath done?
52 They answered, and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no Prophet.
53 [bq]And every man went unto his own house.
8 3 The woman taken in adultery, 11 hath her sins forgiven her. 12 Christ the light of the world. 19 The Pharisees ask where his Father is. 39 The sons of Abraham. 42 The sons of God, 44 The devil the father of lying. 56 Abraham saw Christ’s day.
1 And Jesus went unto the mount of Olives,
2 And early in the morning came again into the Temple, and all the people came unto him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 [br]Then the Scribes and the Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery, and set her in the midst,
4 And said unto him, Master, we found this woman committing adultery even in the very act.
5 (AC)Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
6 And this they said to tempt him, that they might have, whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground,
7 [bs]And while they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said unto them, (AD)Let him that is among you without sin, cast the first stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And when they heard it, being accused by their own conscience, they went out, one by one, beginning at the eldest even to the last: so Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 [bt]When Jesus had lifted up himself again, and saw no man, 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, Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.
12 [bu]Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I (AE)am that light of the world: he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have that light of life.
13 [bv]The Pharisees therefore said unto him, [bw]Thou bearest record of thyself: thy record is not true.
14 (AF)Jesus answered, and said unto them, [bx]Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I come, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I came, and whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh: I [by]judge no man.
16 And if I also judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent me.
17 And it is also written in your Law, (AG)that the testimony of two men is true.
18 [bz]I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 [ca]Then said they unto him, Where is that Father of thine? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor the Father of mine. If ye had known me, ye should have known that Father of mine also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the [cb]treasury, as he taught in the Temple, and no man laid hands on him: [cc]for his hour was not yet come.
21 [cd]Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins, Whither I go, can ye not come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go, can ye not 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 except ye believe, that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 [ce]Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus said unto them, Even [cf]the same thing that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 [cg]I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I have heard of him, those speak I to the world.
27 [ch]They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath taught me, so I spake these things.
29 For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do always those things that please him.
30 ¶ As he spake these things, many believed in him.
31 [ci]Then said Jesus to the Jews which believed in him, If ye continue in my word, ye are verily my disciples,
32 And shall know the truth, and the truth shall [cj]make you free.
33 [ck]They answered him, We be [cl]Abraham’s seed, and were never bond to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you, that whosoever commiteth sin, is the (AH)servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth forever.
36 If that Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 [cm]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 go about to kill me, a man that have told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the works of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, which is God.
42 Therefore Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, then would ye 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 [cn]talk? because ye cannot hear my word.
44 (AI)Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he hath been a murderer from the [co]beginning, and [cp]abode not in the [cq]truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his [cr]own: for he is a liar, and the [cs]father thereof.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 [ct]Which of you can rebuke me of sin? and if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 (AJ)He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 [cu]Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil, but I honor my Father, and ye have dishonored me.
50 And I seek not mine own praise: but there is one that [cv]seeketh it, and judgeth.
51 [cw]Verily, verily I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never [cx]see death.
52 [cy]Then said the Jews to him, Now know we that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 [cz]Jesus answered, If I honor myself, mine honor is [da]nothing worth: it is my Father that honoreth me, whom ye say, that he is your God.
55 [db]Yet ye have not known him: but I know him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his word.
56 [dc]Your father Abraham [dd]rejoiced to see my [de]day, and he [df]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 [dg]am.
59 [dh]Then took they up stones to cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the Temple: And he passed through the midst of them, and so went his way.
9 1 Christ giveth sight on the Sabbath day, to him that was born blind. 13 Whom, after he had long reasoned against the Pharisees, 22, 35 and was cast out of the Synagogue, 36 Christ endueth with the knowledge of the everlasting light.
1 And [di]as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, [dj]Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God should be showed on him.
4 [dk]I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is [dl]day: the night cometh when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, (AK)I am the light of the world.
6 [dm]As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore and washed, and came again seeing.
8 [dn]Now the neighbors and they that had seen him before, when he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: and others said, He is like him: but he himself said, I am he.
10 Therefore they said unto him, How were thine eyes [do]opened?
11 He answered, and said, The man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and received sight.
12 Then they said unto him, Where is he? He said, I cannot tell.
13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that was once 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 sight. And he said unto them, He laid clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 [dp]Then said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner, do such miracles? and there was a dissension among them.
17 Then spake they unto the blind again, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a Prophet.
18 Then the Jews did not believe him (that he had been blind, and received his sight) until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say was born blind? How doth he now see then?
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, can we not tell: he is old enough: ask him: he shall answer for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had ordained already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be excommunicated out of the Synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is old enough: ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that had been blind, and said unto him, [dq]Give glory unto God: we know that this man is a [dr]sinner.
25 Then he answered, and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I cannot tell: one thing I know, that I was blind, and now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have not heard it: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 [ds]Then reviled they him, and said, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered, and said unto them, Doubtless, this is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.
32 Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing.
34 They answered, and said unto him, [dt]Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? so they cast him out.
35 [du]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, Both thou hast seen him, and he it is that talketh with thee.
38 Then he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him.
39 [dv]And Jesus said, I am come unto [dw]judgment into this world, that they [dx]which see not, might see: and that they (AL)which see, might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these things, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should not have sin: but now ye say, We see: therefore your sin remaineth.
10 1 Christ proveth that the Pharisees are the evil shepherds, 8 and by many reasons, that himself 11, 14 is the good shepherd: 19 And thereof dissension ariseth. 31 They take up stones, 39 and go about to take him, but he escapeth.
1 Verily, [dy]verily I say unto you, He that entereth not in by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, he is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that goeth in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the [dz]porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he hath sent forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This [ea]parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily I say unto you, I am that door of the sheep.
8 [eb]All that [ec]ever came before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 [ed]I am that door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall [ee]go in, and go out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and have it in abundance.
11 (AM)I am that good shepherd: that good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12 But an hireling, and he which is not the shepherd, neither the sheep are his own, seeth the wolf coming, and he leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am that good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father [ef]knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 [eg]Other sheep I have also, which are not of this fold: them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice: and (AN)there shall be [eh]one sheepfold, and one shepherd.
17 [ei]Therefore doth my Father love me, because (AO)[ej]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 have power to take it again: this (AP)commandment have I received of my Father.
19 ¶ [ek]Then there was a dissension 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 the devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the [el]Dedication, and it was winter.
23 [em]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 that Christ, tell us plainly.
25 [en]Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s Name, they bear witness of me.
26 [eo]But ye believe not: [ep]for 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 pluck them out of mine hand.
29 My Father which gave them me, is greater than all, and none is able to take them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 (AQ)[eq]Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my [er]Father: for which of these works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For the good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and that thou being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, (AR)I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God was given, and the Scripture cannot be [es]broken,
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, then though ye believe not me, yet believe the works, that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 [et]Again they went about to take him: but he escaped out of their hands,
40 And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John first baptized, and there abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man, were true.
42 And many believed in him there.
11 1 Christ, to show that he is, 25 the life and the resurrection, 14 cometh to Lazarus being dead, 17, 34 and buried, 43 and raiseth him up. 47 As the Priests were consulting together, 49 Caiaphas 50 prophecieth that one must die for the people. 56, 57 They command to seek Christ out, and to take him.
1 And [eu]a certain man was sick, named Lazarus of Bethany, the [ev]town of Mary, and her sister Martha.
2 (And it was that (AS)Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest, is sick.
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto [ew]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 [ex]And after he had heard that he was sick, yet abode he two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
8 [ey]The disciples said unto him, Master, the Jews lately sought to (AT)stone thee, and dost thou go thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not [ez]twelve hours in the day? If a 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 spake he, and after, he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus [fa]sleepeth: but I go to wake him up.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall be safe.
13 Howbeit, Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the natural sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may believe: but let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas (which is called Didymus) unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 ¶ Then came Jesus, and found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 (Now Bethany was near unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19 [fb]And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary to comfort them for their brother.
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead.
22 But now I know also, that whatsoever thou askest of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall [fc]rise again.
24 Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again (AU)in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: (AV)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 that Christ that Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 ¶ And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 And when she heard it, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave, to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead.
33 [fd]When Jesus therefore saw her weep, and the Jews also weep which came with her, he [fe]groaned in the spirit, and was troubled in himself,
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 And Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, behold, how he loved him.
37 And some of them said, (AW)Could not he which opened the eyes of the blind, have made also, that this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaned in himself, and came to the grave. And it was a cave, and a stone was laid upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said unto him, Lord, he stinketh already for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus said unto her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou didst believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee, because thou hast heard me.
42 I know that thou hearest me always, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may believe, that thou hast sent me.
43 As he had spoken these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hand and foot with bands, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 ¶ Then many of the Jews, which came to Mary, and had seen the things, which Jesus did, believed in him.
46 [ff]But some of them went their way to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the high Priests, and the Pharisees a [fg]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 will come and [fh]take away both our place, and the nation.
49 [fi]Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the high Priest that same year, said unto them, Ye perceive nothing at all,
50 (AX)Nor yet do you consider that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 [fj]This spake he not of himself: but being high Priest that same year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation:
52 And not for that nation only, but that he should gather together in one the children of God, which [fk]were scattered.
53 Then from that day forth they consulted together, to put him to death.
54 [fl]Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 ¶ And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the Temple, What think ye, that he cometh not to the feast?
57 Now both the high Priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
12 2 As Christ is at supper with Lazarus, 3 Mary anointeth his feet. 5 Judas findeth fault with her. 7 Christ defendeth her. 10 The Priests would put Lazarus to death. 12 As Christ cometh to Jerusalem. 18 The people meet him. 22 The Greeks desire to see him. 42 The chief rulers that believe in him, but for fear do not confess him, 44 he exhorteth to faith.
1 Then (AY)Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who died, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of Spikenard very costly, and anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the savor of the ointment.
4 Then said one of his disciples, even Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him:
5 [fm]Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Now he said thus, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and (AZ)had the bag, and bore that which was given.
7 [fn]Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it.
8 For the poor always ye have with you, but me ye shall not have always.
9 [fo]Then much people of the Jews 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 The high Priests therefore consulted, that they might put Lazarus to death also,
11 because that for his sake many of the Jews went away, and believed in Jesus.
12 ¶ (BA)On the morrow a great multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus should come 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 found a young ass, and sat thereon, as it is written,
15 (BB)Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 But his disciples understood not these things at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they, that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was with him, bare witness that he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead.
18 Therefore met him the people also, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 [fp]And the Pharisees said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold, the world goeth after him.
20 ¶ Now there were certain Greeks among them that [fq]came up to worship at the feast.
21 And they came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see that Jesus.
22 Philip came 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 must be glorified.
24 [fr]Verily, verily I say unto you, Except the wheat corn fall into the ground and [fs]die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 (BC)He that loveth his life, shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 (BD)If any man serve me, let him follow me: for where I am, there shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my father honor.
27 [ft]Now is my soul troubled: and what shall I say? Father, save me from this [fu]hour: but therefore came I unto this hour.
28 Father, [fv]glorify thy Name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Then said the people that stood by, and heard, that it was a thunder: others said, An Angel spake to him.
30 [fw]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 (BE)And I, if I were [fx]lift up from the earth, will draw [fy]all men unto me.
33 Now this said he, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the (BF)Law, that that Christ bideth forever: and how sayest thou, that that Son of man must be lift up? Who is that Son of man?
35 [fz]Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is (BG)the light with you: walk while ye have that light, lest the darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have that light, believe in that light, that ye may be the [ga]children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them.
37 ¶ [gb]And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet believed they not on him,
38 That the saying of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, that he said, (BH)Lord, who believed our report? and to whom is the [gc]arm of the Lord revealed?
39 Therefore could they not believe, because that Isaiah saith again,
40 (BI)He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Isaiah when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 [gd]Nevertheless, even among the chief rulers, many believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be cast out of the Synagogue.
43 (BJ)For they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God.
44 [ge]And Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth [gf]not in me, but in him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 I (BK)am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me, should not abide in darkness.
47 (BL)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 refuseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: (BM)the word that I have spoken, it shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself: but the father which sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: the things therefore that I speak, I speak them so as the Father said unto me.
13 4 Christ rising from supper, 14 to command humility to his Apostles, washeth their feet. 21 He noteth the traitor Judas, 26 with an evident token. 34 He commendeth charity. 37, 38 He foretelleth Peter of his denial.
1 Now (BN)[gg]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, forasmuch as he loved his [gh]own which were in the world, unto the end he loved them.
2 And when supper was done (and that the devil had now put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.)
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his [gi]hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,
4 He [gj]riseth from Supper, and layeth aside his upper 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, who said to 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 it hereafter.
8 Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have [gk]no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.
10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed, needeth not, save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are (BO)clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him: therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 ¶ So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I.
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, even as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily I say unto you, (BP)The servant is not greater than his master, neither the [gl]ambassador greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
18 ¶ [gm]I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled, (BQ)He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me.
19 From henceforth tell I you before it come, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe that I am he.
20 (BR)Verily, verily I say unto you, If I send any, he that receiveth him, receiveth me, and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in the Spirit, and [gn]testified, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 (BS)Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was one of his disciples, which [go]leaned on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved.
24 To him beckoned therefore Simon Peter, that he should ask who it was of whom he spake.
25 He then as he leaned 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 he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.
27 And after the sop, Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it unto him.
29 For some of them thought because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 As soon then as he had received the sop, he went immediately out, and it was night.
31 ¶ [gp]When he was gone out, Jesus said, [gq]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 [gr]Little children, yet a little while am I with you: ye shall seek me, but as I said unto the (BT)Jews, Whither I go, can ye not come: also to you say I now.
34 (BU)A new commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know, that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 [gs]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 afterward.
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why can I not follow thee now? (BV)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 have denied me thrice.
14 He comforteth his disciples, 2, 7 declaring his divinity and the fruit of his death, 16 promising the comforter, 17 even the holy Spirit, 26 whose office he setteth out. 27 He promiseth his peace.
1 Let [gt]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, [gu]I would have told you: I go to [gv]prepare a place for you.
3 [gw]And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will [gx]come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also.
4 [gy]And whither I go, ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: how can we then know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, I am [gz]that Way, and that Truth, and that Life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 [ha]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 thy Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus said unto him, I have been so long time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen my Father: how then sayest thou, Show us thy Father?
10 [hb]Believest thou not, that I am in the Father, and the Father is 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 is in me: at the least, believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 [hc]Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he shall do also, and [hd]greater than these shall he do: for I go unto my Father.
13 (BW)And whatsoever ye 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 [he]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 forever,
17 Even the [hf]Spirit of truth, whom the [hg]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 fatherless: but 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 shall ye know that I am [hh]in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them: is he that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will [hi]show mine own self to him.
22 [hj]Judas said unto him, (not Iscariot) Lord, what is the cause that thou wilt show thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered, and said unto him, If any man love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and will dwell with him.
24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words, and the word which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 [hk]These things have I spoken unto you, being present with you.
26 (BX)But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have told you.
27 [hl]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, nor fear.
28 [hm]Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and will come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would verily rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for the Father [hn]is greater than I.
29 And now have I spoken unto you, before it come, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 [ho]Hereafter will I not speak many things unto you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath [hp]nought in me,
31 But it is that the world may know that I love my Father: and as the Father hath commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
15 1 By the parable of the vine, 2 and the branches, 5, 6 he declareth how the disciples may bear fruit. 12, 17 He commendeth mutual love. 18 He exhorteth them to bear afflictions patiently, 20 by his own example.
1 I [hq]am that true vine, and my Father is that husbandman.
2 (BY)Every branch that beareth not fruit in me, he taketh away: and everyone that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 (BZ)Now are ye clean through the word, which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you: as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me can ye do nothing.
6 (CA)If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burn.
7 (CB)[hr]If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
8 [hs]Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and be made my disciples.
9 [ht]As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you: [hu]continue in that my love.
10 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, 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 (CC)This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love than this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 [hv]Henceforth call I you not servants: for the servant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I have called you friends: for all things that I have heard of my Father, have I made known to you.
16 [hw]Ye [hx]have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, (CD)that ye go and bring forth fruits, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name, he may give it you.
17 These things command I you, that ye love one another.
