John 1
1 That Word begotten of God before all worlds. 2 Which was ever with the Father. 14 Is made
man, 6-7 For what end John was sent from God. 16 His preaching of Christ's office. 19 The
record that he bare given out unto the Priests. 40 The calling of Andrew, 42 of Peter, 43 Philip,
45 and Nathanael.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
5 And that light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 ¶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This same came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all men through
him might believe.
8 He was not the light, but was sent to bear witness of the light.
9 This was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew
him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
13 Which are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw the glory
thereof, as the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father) full of grace and
truth.
2
15 ¶ John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I said,
He that cometh after me, is preferred before me, for he was before me.
16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 ¶ Then this is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainly, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art
thou the Prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them
that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Make straight the
way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Isaiah.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be
not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the Prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there is one among
you, whom ye know not.
27 He it is that cometh after me, which is preferred before me, whose shoe
latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John did baptize.
29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
3
31 And I knew him not, but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore
am I come, baptizing with water.
32 So John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit come down from heaven, like a
dove, and it abode upon him,
33 And I knew him not, but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto
me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit come down, and tarry still on him, that
is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 ¶ The next day, John stood again, and two of his disciples.
36 And he beheld Jesus walking by, and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned about, and saw them follow, and said unto them, What
seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say by interpretation,
Master) where dwellest thou?
39 He said unto them, Come, and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and
abode with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two which had heard it of
John, and that followed him.
41 The same found his brother Simon first, and said unto him, We have found
the Messiah which is by interpretation, the Christ.
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him, and said, Thou art
Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation a
stone.
43 ¶ The day following, Jesus would go into Galilee, and found Philip, and said
unto him, Follow me.
4
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said unto him, We have found him of whom
Moses did write in the Law, and the Prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph.
46 Then Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of
Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come, and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, Behold indeed an
Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael said unto him, Whence knewest thou me? Jesus answered, and
said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I
saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered, and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou
art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered, and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under
the fig tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see
heaven open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending upon that Son of
man.
John 2
1 Christ turneth water into Wine, 11 which was the beginning of his miracles. 12 He goeth down
to Capernaum; 13 from thence he goeth up to Jerusalem, 15 and casteth the merchandise out of
the Temple. 19 He foretelleth that the Temple, that is, his body, shall be destroyed of the Jews.
23 Many believe in him, seeing the miracles which he did.
1 And the third day, was there a marriage in Cana a town of Galilee, and the
mother of Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus was called also, and his disciples unto the marriage.
5
3 Now when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said unto him, They have no
wine.
4 Jesus said unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet
come.
5 His mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there, six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the
purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins a piece.
7 And Jesus said unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. Then they filled them
up to the brim.
8 Then he said unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the
feast. So they bare it.
9 Now when the governor of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine,
(for he knew not whence it was, but the servants, which drew the water, knew)
the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And said unto him, All men at the beginning set forth good wine, and when
men have well drunk, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept back the good
wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana a town of Galilee, and shewed
forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him.
12 After that, he went down into Capernaum, he and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples; but they continued not many days there.
13 For the Jews’ Passover was at hand. Therefore Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and
changers of money, sitting there.
15 Then he made a scourge of small cords, and drove them all out of the Temple
with the sheep and oxen, and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew
their tables,
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my
father’s house, a house of merchandise.
6
17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written, The zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us,
that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three days I
will raise it up again.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this Temple a building, and wilt
thou rear it up in three days?
22 As soon therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered
that he thus said unto them; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which
Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was at Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast, many believed in
his Name, when they saw his miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew them all,
25 And had no need that any should testify of man, for he knew what was in
man.
John 3
1 Christ teacheth Nicodemus the very principles of Christian regeneration. 14 The serpent in the
wilderness. 23 John baptizeth, 27 and teacheth his, that he is not Christ.
1 There was now a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou
art a teacher come from God, for no man could do these miracles that thou doest,
except God were with him.
7
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born which is old? Can he enter
into his mother’s womb again, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, except that a man be born of
water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit, is
spirit.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every man that is born
of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered, and said unto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest
not these things?
11 Verily, verily I say unto thee, we speak that we know, and testify that we
have seen, but ye receive not our witness.
12 If when I tell you earthly things, ye believe not, how should ye believe, if I
shall tell you of heavenly things?
13 For no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that hath descended from heaven,
the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must that Son of man
be lifted up,
15 That whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he hath given his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world, that he should condemn the world,
but that the world through him might be saved.
8
18 He that believeth in him, is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of that only
begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every man that evil doeth, hateth the light, neither cometh to light, lest his
deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds might be made
manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
22 ¶ After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea, and
there tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also baptized in Aenon besides Salim, because there was much
water there; and they came and were baptized.
25 Then there arose a question between John’s disciples and the Jews, about
purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee
beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men
come to him.
27 John answered, and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him
from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves are my witnesses, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am
sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom
which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom’s
voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
31 He that is come from on high, is above all, he that is of the earth, is of the
earth, and speaketh of the earth; he that is come from heaven, is above all.
9
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; but no man receiveth his
testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony, hath sealed that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God giveth him
not the Spirit by measure.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth in the Son, hath everlasting life, and he that obeyeth not the
Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 4
6 Jesus being weary, asketh drink of the woman of Samaria. 21 He teacheth true worship. 26 He
confesseth that he is the Messiah. 32 His meat. 39 The Samaritans believe in him. 46 He healeth
the Ruler’s son.
1 Now when the Lord knew, how the Pharisees had heard, that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John,
5 Then came he to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near unto the possession that
Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 And there was Jacob’s well. Jesus then wearied in the journey, sat thus on the
well; it was about the sixth hour.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said unto her, Give me
drink.
10
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city, to buy meat.
9 Then said the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it, that thou being a Jew,
askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews meddle not
with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who
it is that saith to thee, Give me drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he
would have given thee water of life.
11 The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well
is deep; from whence then hast thou that water of life?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and he himself
drank thereof, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered, and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall
thirst again;
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more
athirst; but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water,
springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman said unto him, Sir, give me of that water, that I may not thirst,
neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered, and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou
hast well said, I have no husband.
18 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy
husband; that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman said unto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the
place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall
neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem worship the Father.
11
22 Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know, for
salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in Spirit and Truth; for the Father requireth even such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in Spirit and
Truth.
25 The woman said unto him, I know well that Messiah shall come, which is
called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.
27 ¶ And upon that, came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with a
woman, yet no man said unto him, What askest thou? Or why talkest thou with
her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and said
to the men,
29 Come, see a man which hath told me all things that ever I did; is not he the
Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not of.
33 Then said the disciples between themselves, Hath any man brought him
meat?
34 Jesus said unto them, My meat is that I may do the will of him that sent me,
and finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say
unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the regions, for they are white already
unto harvest.
36 And he that reapeth, receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal,
that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth might rejoice together.
12
37 For herein is the saying true, that one soweth and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that, whereon ye bestowed no labor; other men labored,
and ye are entered into their labors.
39 Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him, for the saying of the
woman which testified, He hath told me all things that ever I did.
40 Then when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him, that he
would tarry with them; and he abode there two days.
42 And they said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying,
for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed that Christ the
Saviour of the world.
44 For Jesus himself had testified, that a Prophet hath no honor in his own
country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, which had
seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast; for they went also unto
the feast.
46 And Jesus came again into Cana a town of Galilee, where he had made of
water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto
him, and besought him that he would go down, and heal his son; for he was even
ready to die.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not
believe.
49 The ruler said unto him, Sir, go down before my son dies.
50 Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy son liveth. And the man believed the
word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, Thy son liveth.
13
52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said
unto him, Yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Then the father knew that it was the same hour in the which Jesus had said
unto him, Thy son liveth. And he believed, and all his household.
54 This second miracle did Jesus again, after he was come out of Judea into
Galilee.
John 5
2 One lying at the pool, 5 is healed of Christ on the Sabbath. 10 The Jews that rashly find fault
with that his deed, 17 he convinceth with the authority of his Father, 19 He proveth his divine
power by many reasons, 45 and with Moses' testimony.
1 After that, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 And there is at Jerusalem by the place of the sheep, a pool called in Hebrew
Bethesda, having five porches;
3 In the which lay a great multitude of sick folk, of blind, halt, and withered,
waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an Angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the
water; whosoever then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made
whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had been diseased eight and thirty years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he now long time had been diseased,
he said unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to
put me into the pool, but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
14
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked;
and the same day was the Sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day, it is
not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole he said unto me, Take up thy
bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy
bed, and walk?
13 And he that was healed, knew not who it was, for Jesus had conveyed himself
away from the multitude that was in that place.
14 And after that, Jesus found him in the Temple, and said unto him, Behold,
thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 ¶ The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had made him
whole.
16 And therefore the Jews did persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because
he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had
broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, and made himself
equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus, and said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, The
Son can do nothing of himself, save that he seeth the Father do; for whatsoever
things he doeth, the same things doeth the Son in like manner.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things, whatsoever he
himself doeth, and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye should
marvel.
21 For likewise as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, so the
Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son,
15
23 Because that all men should honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that
honoreth not the Son, the same honoreth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth in him
that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but
hath passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily I say unto you, the hour shall come, and now is, when the dead
shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear it shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so likewise hath he given to the Son to
have life in himself.
27 And hath given him power also to execute judgment, in that he is the Son of
man.
28 Marvel not at this; for the hour shall come, in the which all that are in the
graves, shall hear his voice.
29 And they shall come forth, that have done good, unto the resurrection of life,
but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of condemnation.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me, and I know that the witness,
which he beareth of me, is true.
34 But I receive not the record of man, nevertheless these things I say, that ye
might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining candle, and ye would for a season have
rejoiced in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than the witness of John; for the works which the
Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that
the Father sent me.
16
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, beareth witness of me. Ye have
not heard his voice at any time, neither have ye seen his shape.
38 And his word have ye not abiding in you, for whom he hath sent, him ye
believe not.
39 Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think to have eternal life, and they are
they which testify of me.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the
honor that cometh of God alone?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to my Father; there is one that accuseth
you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.
John 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 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 over the sea of Galilee, which is
Tiberias.
17
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.
5 Then Jesus lifted 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 every one 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 the Prophet that should come into the world.
15 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 ¶ When evening was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
18
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea, towards Capernaum. And
now it was dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
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.
21 Then 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 no other ship there, save that one, whereinto 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 Jesus answered them, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye seek me not,
because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you, for him hath God the
Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of
God?
29 Jesus answered, and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe
in him, whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see
it, and believe thee? What doest thou work?
19
31 Our fathers did eat Manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread
from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not
that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you 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 of life; he that cometh to me, shall
not hunger, and he that believeth in me, shall never thirst.
36 But I say unto you, that ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me, and him that cometh to me, I
cast not away.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my 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 seeth the Son,
and believeth in him, should have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the
last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him because he said, I am the bread, which is
come down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus the 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 Prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man
therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me;
20
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen
the Father.
47 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.
49 Your fathers did eat Manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread, which cometh down from heaven, that he which eateth of it,
should not die.
51 I am that living bread, which came down from heaven; if any man 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 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 no life in you.
54 Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I
will raise him up at the last day.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, so live I by the Father, and he that eateth
me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is the 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.
60 Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) said, This is a hard
saying; who can hear it?
61 But Jesus knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said unto
them, Doeth this offend you?
21
62 What then if ye should see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I
speak unto you, 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 From that time, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with
him.
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 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 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.
John 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.
22
2 Now the Jews’ feast of the Tabernacles was at hand.
3 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, shew thyself to the world.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always
ready.
7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the
works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast; I will not go up yet unto this feast, for my time is not
yet fulfilled.
10 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.
14 Now when 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 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of
God, or whether I speak of myself.
23
18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh his
glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? Why go
ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil, who goeth about to kill
thee?
21 Jesus answered, and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but
of the fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the Sabbath receive circumcision, that the 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?
25 ¶ 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 the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no
man shall know whence he is.
28 ¶ 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.
30 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 in him, and said, When the Christ cometh,
will he do more miracles than this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured these things of him, and the
Pharisees, and high Priests sent officers to take him.
24
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet am I a little while with you, and then go I unto
him that sent me.
34 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 dispersed among the Grecians, and teach
the Grecians?
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 Now in the last and 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, as saith the Scripture, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of water of life.
39 (This spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed in him, should receive;
for the holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is
the Prophet;
41 Others said, This is the Christ. And some said, But shall Christ come out of
Galilee?
42 Saith not the Scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of David, and out of
the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
44 And some of them would have taken him, but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the high Priests and Pharisees, and they said unto
them, Why have ye not brought him?
25
49 But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed.
50 Nicodemus said unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, and was one of
them.)
51 Doth our Law judge a man before it hear him, and know 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.
John 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.
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 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, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the Law commanded us, 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 And while they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said unto
them, Let him that is among you without sin, cast the first stone at her.
26
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 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 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that
followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy
record is not true.
14 Jesus answered, and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my
record is true, for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell
whence I come, and whither I go.
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, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth
witness of me.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither
know me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father
also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the Temple, and no
man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and
shall die in your sins, Whither I go, can ye not come.
27
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 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus said unto them, Even the
same thing that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say, and to judge of you, but he that sent me, is true,
and the things that I have heard of him, those speak I to the world.
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.
31 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 make you free.
33 They answered him, We be 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
committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house forever; but the Son abideth forever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
28
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed, but ye seek to kill me, because my word
hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father; and ye do that which ye have
seen with your father.
39 They answered, and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said unto
them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye 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.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He hath
been a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is
no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own, for he is a
liar, and the father thereof.
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not
believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words; ye therefore hear them not, because
ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil, but I honor my Father, and ye have
dishonored me.
50 And I seek not my own praise; but there is one that seeketh it, and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.
29
52 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?
55 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 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou
seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was, I
am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went out
of the Temple; And he passed through the midst of them, and so went his way.
John 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 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?
30
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the
works of God should be shewed on him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh
when no man can work.
6 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 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 opened?
11 He answered, and said, The man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed
my 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.
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 my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 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.
31
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 doeth 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.
24 Then again called they the man that had been blind, and said unto him, Give
glory unto God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Then he answered, and said, Whether he be a sinner or not, 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 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 my 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,
32
33 If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou art altogether born in sins, and doest
thou teach us? So they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he had found him, he said
unto him, Doest 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.
39 And Jesus said, I am come unto judgment into this world, that they which see
not, might see, and that they which see, might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these 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.
John 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 therefore dissension ariseth. 31 They take up stones, 39 and
go about to take him, but he escapeth.
1 Verily, 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.
3 To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his
own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
33
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 parable spake Jesus unto them, but they understood not what things they
were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily I say unto you, I am the door of
the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not
hear them.
9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in, and
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 I am that good shepherd; that good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12 But a 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 a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
15 As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father; and I lay down my life for
my sheep.
16 Other sheep I have also, which are not of this fold; them also must I bring,
and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one sheepfold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doeth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might
take it again.
34
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 commandment have I received of
my Father.
19 ¶ 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 Dedication, and it was winter.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long doest
thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 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 But ye believe not, 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 my 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.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my 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, I said, Ye are gods?
35
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God was given, and the
Scripture cannot be broken,
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou
blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
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 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.
John 11
1 Christ, to shew that he is, 5 the life and 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
prophesieth that one must die for the people. 56, 57 They command to seek Christ out, and to
take him.
1 And a certain man was sick, named Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary, and
her sister Martha.
2 (And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his
feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest,
is sick.
36
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory
of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
6 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 The disciples said unto him, Master, the Jews lately sought to stone thee, and
doest thou go thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not 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
sleepeth; but I go to wake him up.
13 Howbeit, Jesus spake of his death, but they thought that he had spoken of the
natural sleep.
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 And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary to comfort them for
their brother.
37
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.
24 Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the
last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me,
though he were dead yet shall he live.
26 And whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest thou
this?
27 She said unto him, Yea, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ the Son of God,
which should come into the world.
28 ¶ And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 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 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which
came with her, he 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.
38
35 And Jesus wept.
37 And some of them said, 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 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 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 take away both our place, and the nation.
39
49 Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the high Priest that same year,
said unto them, Ye perceive nothing at all,
50 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 This spake he not of himself, but being high Priest that same year, he
prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,
52 And not for the nation only, but that he should gather together in one the
children of God, which were scattered.
53 Then from that day forth they consulted together, to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence unto
a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued
with his disciples.
55 ¶ And the Jews’ Passover was 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 shew it, that they might take him.
John 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 Grecians 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 Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was,
who died, whom he had raised from the dead.
40
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 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the
poor?
6 Now he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief,
and had the bag, and bare that which was given.
7 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 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 ¶ 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.
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion; 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.
41
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.
20 ¶ Now there were certain Greeks among them that 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 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 Verily, verily I say unto you, Except the wheat corn fall into the ground and
die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life, shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world,
shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; for where I am, there shall also my
servant be; and if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this
hour; but therefore came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy Name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have
both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Then said the people that stood by, and heard, that it was a thunder; others
said, An Angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered, and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your
sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast
out.
42
32 And I, if I were lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the Law, that Christ bideth
forever; and how sayest thou, that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is that
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 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 the light, that ye may be the children of
the light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them.
37 ¶ 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, Lord,
who believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
39 Therefore could they not believe, because that Isaiah saith again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they should not see
with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I
should heal them.
41 These things said Isaiah when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 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 For they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God.
44 And Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in
him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me, should not
abide in darkness.
43
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came
not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that refuseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him;
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.
John 13
4 Christ rising from supper, 15 to command humility to his Apostles, washeth their feet. 21 He
noteth the traitor Judas, 26 with an evident token. 34 He commendeth charity. 37-39 He
foretelleth Peter of his denial.
1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was
come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, for as much as he
loved his 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 hands, and that he
was come forth from God, and went to God,
4 He 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, doest thou wash my feet?
44
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 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 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?
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, The servant is not greater than his master,
neither the ambassador greater than he that sent him.
18 ¶ I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but it is that the
Scripture might be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted 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 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 testified,
and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
45
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was one of his disciples, which 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 ¶ When he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and
God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall
straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while am I with you. Ye shall seek me, but as I said
unto the Jews, Whither I go, can ye not come. Also to you say I now.
34 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 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him,
Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
46
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay down my
life for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily I
say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou have denied me thrice.
John 14
1 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 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 to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself, that where I am, there may ye be also.
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 the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said unto him, Lord, shew 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, Shew us thy Father?
47
10 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 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he
shall do also, and greater than these shall he do; for I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye ask in my Name, that will I do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he
may abide with you forever,
17 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him, but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall
be in you.
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 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 shew
my own self to him.
22 Judas said unto him, (not Iscariot) Lord, what is the cause that thou wilt shew
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.
48
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 These things have I spoken unto you, being present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my
Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
which I have told you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor fear.
28 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 my
Father 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 Hereafter will I not speak many things unto you, for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath 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.
John 15
1 By the parable of the vine, 2 and the branches, 5-6 he declareth how disciples may bear fruit.
12-17 He commendeth mutual love. 18 He exhorteth them to bear afflictions patiently, 20 by his
own example.
2 Every branch that beareth not fruit in me, he taketh away; and every one that
beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now are ye clean through the word, which I have spoken unto you.
49
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 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 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and it shall be
done to you.
9 As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue in my love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and
that your joy might be full.
13 Greater love than this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his
friends.
15 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 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye go
and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of
the Father in my Name, he may give it you.
50
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not
of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth
you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his
master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have
kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my Name’s sake, because they
have not known him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they should not have had sin, but
now have they no cloak for their sin.
24 If I had not done works among them which none other man did, they had not
had sin; but now have they both seen, and have hated both me, and my Father.
25 But it is that the word might be fulfilled, that is written in their Law, They
hated me without a cause.
26 But when that Comforter shall come, whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth of the Father, he shall testify of
me.
27 And ye shall witness also, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John 16
1 He foretelleth the disciples of persecution. 7 He promiseth the Comforter, and declareth his
office. 21 He compareth the affliction of his, to a woman that travaileth with child.
1 These things have I said unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall excommunicate you, yea, the time shall come, that whosoever
killeth you, will think that he doth God service.
51
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the
Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the hour shall come, ye might
remember, that I told you them. And these things said I not unto you from the
beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither
goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow.
7 Yet I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto
you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit, when he is come which is the Spirit of truth, he will lead you into
all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, shall he
speak, and he will shew you the things to come.
14 He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath, are mine; therefore said I, that he shall take of
mine, and shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again a little while, and ye shall see
me; for I go to the Father.
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith
unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me, and again a little while, and ye
shall see me, and, For I go to the Father.
52
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not
what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they would ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire
among yourselves, of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me, and again,
a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world
shall rejoice, and ye shall sorrow, but your sorrow shall be turned to joy.
21 A woman when she travaileth hath sorrow because her hour is come; but as
soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for
joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore are in sorrow; but I will see you again, and your hearts
shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you.
23 And in that day shall ye ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my Name; ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in parables; but the time will come,
when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but I shall shew you plainly of the
Father.
26 At that day shall ye ask in my Name, and I say not unto you, that I will pray
unto the Father for you;
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God.
28 I am come out from the Father, and came into the world; again I leave the
world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and thou speakest
no parable.
30 Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man
should ask thee. By this we believe, that thou art come out from God.
53
31 Jesus answered them, Do you believe now?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, and is already come, that ye shall be scattered every
man into his own, and shall leave me alone; but I am not alone, for the Father is
with me.
33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the
world ye shall have affliction, but be of good comfort; I have overcome the
world.
John 17
1 Christ prayeth that his glory together with his Father may be made manifest. 9 He prayeth for
his Apostles, 20 and for all believers.
1 These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the
hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee,
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to
all them that thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they know thee to be the only very God, and whom
thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, I have finished the work which thou gavest
me to do.
5 And now glorify me, thou Father, with thine own self, with the glory which I
had with thee before the world was.
6 I have declared thy Name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the
world; thine they were, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me, are of thee.
54
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have
received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and have
believed that thou hast sent me.
9 I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given
me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 And now am I no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to
thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy Name, even them whom thou hast given me,
that they may be one as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy Name; those that thou
gavest me, have I kept, and none of them is lost, but the child of perdition, that
the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee, and these things speak I in the world, that they
might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are
not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keep
them from evil.
18 As thou didst send me into the world, so have I sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes sanctify I myself, that they also may be sanctified through
the truth.
20 I pray not for these alone, but for them also which shall believe in me,
through their word,
21 That they all may be one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee, even that
they may be also one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory that thou gavest me, I have given them, that they may be one,
as we are one,
55
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the
world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved
me.
24 Father, I will that they which thou hast given me, be with me even where I
am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst
me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world also hath not known thee, but I have known
thee, and these have known, that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy Name, and will declare it, that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
John 18
1 By Christ's power, whom Judas betrayeth, 6 the soldiers are cast down to the ground. 13
Christ is led to Annas, and from him to Caiaphas. 22-23 His answer to the officer that smote
him with a rod. 28 Being delivered to Pilate, 36 he declareth his kingdom.
1 When Jesus had spoken these things, he went forth with his disciples over the
brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas which betrayed him knew also the place, for Jesus oft times
resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Judas then, after he had received a band of men and officers of the high Priests,
and of the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns and torches, and weapons.
4 Then Jesus, knowing all things that should come unto him, went forth and said
unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said unto them, I am he. Now
Judas also which betrayed him, stood with them.
56
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went away backwards,
and fell to the ground.
7 Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I said unto you, that I am he; therefore if ye seek me, let these
go their way.
9 This was that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of them which thou
gavest me, have I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and smote the high Priest’s
servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servants name was Malchus.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath; shall I not drink
of the cup which my Father hath given me?
12 Then the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews took Jesus and
bound him.
13 And led him away to Annas first (for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which
was the high Priest that same year.)
14 And Caiaphas was he, that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient
that one man should die for the people.
15 ¶ Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple, and that disciple
was known of the high Priest, therefore he went in with Jesus into the hall of the
high Priest,
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out the other disciple which
was known unto the high Priest, and spake to her that kept the door, and
brought in Peter.
17 Then said the maid that kept the door, unto Peter, Art not thou also one of
this man’s disciples? He said, I am not.
18 And the servants and officers stood there, which had made a fire of coals, for
it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter also stood among them,
and warmed himself.
19 ¶ (The high Priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
57
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the
Synagogue and in the Temple, whither the Jews resort continually, and in secret
have I said nothing.
21 Why askest thou me? Ask them which heard me what I said unto them;
behold, they know what I said.
22 When he had spoken these things, one of the officers which stood by, smote
Jesus with his rod, saying, Answerest thou the high Priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have evil spoken, bear witness of the evil; but if I
have well spoken, why smitest thou me?
24 ¶ Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high Priest.)
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself, and they said unto him, Art not
thou also of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high Priest, his cousin whose ear Peter smote off,
said, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas into the common hall. Now it was
morning, and they themselves went not into the common hall, lest they should
be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against
this man?
30 They answered, and said unto him, If he were not an evil doer, we would not
have delivered him unto thee.
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him after your own Law.
Then the Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.
32 It was that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spake, signifying
what death he should die.
33 So Pilate entered into the common hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto
him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
58
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou that of thyself, or did others tell it thee of
me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation, and the high Priests have
delivered thee unto me. What hast thou done?
37 Pilate then said unto him, Art thou a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest
that I am a King. For this cause am I born, and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth,
heareth my voice.
38 Pilate said unto him, What is truth? And when he had said that, he went out
again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find in him no cause at all.
39 But you have a custom that I should deliver you one loose at the Passover;
will ye then that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not him, but Barabbas. Now this Barabbas
was a murderer.
John 19
1 Pilate, when Christ was scourged, 2 and crowned with thrones, 4 as desirous to let him loose;
8 but being overcome with the outrage of the Jews, 16 he delivereth him to be crucified. 26 Jesus
committeth his mother to the disciple. 30 Having tasted vinegar, he dieth; 34 and being dead, his
side was pierced with a spear. 40 He is buried.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they
put on him a purple garment,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews. And they smote him with their rods.
59
4 Then Pilate went forth again, and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to
you, that ye may know, that I find no fault in him at all.
5 Then came Jesus forth wearing a crown of thorns, and a purple garment. And
Pilate said unto them, Behold the man.
6 Then when the high Priests and officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify,
crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him, for I find no
fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the Son of God.
8 ¶ When Pilate then heard that word, he was the more afraid,
9 And went again into the common hall, and said unto Jesus, Whence art thou?
But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then said Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that
I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it
were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered me unto thee, hath the
greater sin.
12 From thenceforth Pilate sought to loose him, but the Jews cried, saying, If
thou deliver him, thou art not Caesar’s friend; for whosoever maketh himself a
King, speaketh against Caesar.
13 ¶ When Pilate heard this word, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place called the Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour, and he
said unto the Jews, Behold your King.
15 But they cried, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto
them, Shall I crucify your King? The high Priests answered, We have no King but
Caesar.
16 Then delivered he him unto them, to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and
led him away.
60
17 And he bare his own cross, and came into a place named of dead men’s Skulls,
which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18 Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst.
19 ¶ And Pilate wrote also a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified,
was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
21 Then said the high Priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the
Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
23 ¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments (and
made four parts, to every soldier a part) and his coat; and the coat was without
seam woven from the top throughout.
24 ¶ Therefore they said one to another, Let us not divide it, but cast lots for it,
whose it shall be. This was that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They
parted my garments among them, and on my coat did cast lots. So the soldiers
did these things indeed.
25 ¶ Then stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary
the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 And when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he
loved, he said unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
27 Then said he to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the
disciple took her home unto him.
28 ¶ After, when Jesus knew that all things were performed, that the Scripture
might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst.
29 And there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with
vinegar, and put it about a hyssop stalk, and put it to his mouth.
30 Now when Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, It is finished. And
bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
61
31 The Jews then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not
remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, for that Sabbath was a high day)
besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken
down.
32 Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first, and of the other, which
was crucified with Jesus.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake
not his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there
out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it, bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that
he saith true, that ye might believe it.
36 For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, Not a bone
of him shall be broken.
37 And again another Scripture saith, They shall see him whom they have thrust
through.
38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take down the body of
Jesus. And Pilate gave him license. He came then and took Jesus’ body.
39 And there came also Nicodemus (which first came to Jesus by night) and
brought of myrrh and aloes mingled together about a hundred pounds.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen clothes with the
odors, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 And in that place where Jesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden
a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There then laid they Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation day, for the
sepulcher was near.
62
John 20
1 Mary bringeth word that Christ is risen. 3 Peter and John 4 run to see it. 15 Jesus appeareth to
Mary, 19 and to the disciples that were together in the house, 25 Thomas, before faithless, 29
now believeth.
1 Now the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene, early when it was yet
dark, unto the sepulcher, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
2 Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus
loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher,
and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they came unto the
sepulcher.
4 So they ran both together, but the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came
first to the sepulcher.
5 And he stooped down, and saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and saw
the linen clothes lie,
7 And the kerchief that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but
wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also the other disciple, which came first to the sepulcher, and he
saw it, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the Scripture, That he must rise again from the dead.
10 And the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 ¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping; and as she wept, she
bowed herself into the sepulcher,
12 And saw two Angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the
feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She said unto them,
They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
63
14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and
knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She
supposing that he had been the gardener, said unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne
him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni,
which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father;
but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and to your
Father, and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and
that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 ¶ The same day then at night, which was the first day of the week, and when
the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,
came Jesus and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands, and his side. Then
were the disciples glad when they had seen the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father sent me, so
send I you.
22 And when he had said that, he breathed on them, and said unto them,
Receive the holy Ghost.
23 Whosoever’s sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever’s sins
ye retain, they are retained.
24 ¶ But Thomas one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he
said unto them, Except I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger
into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.
64
26 ¶ And eight days after, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them. Then came Jesus, when the doors were shut, and stood in the midst, and
said, Peace be unto you.
27 After said he to Thomas, Put thy finger here, and see my hands, and put forth
thy hand, and put it into my side, and be not faithless, but faithful.
28 Then Thomas answered and said unto him, Thou art my Lord, and my God.
29 Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou believest;
blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.
30 And many other signs also did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which
are not written in this book.
31 But these things are written that ye might believe, that Jesus is the Christ the
Son of God, and that in believing ye might have life through his Name.
John 21
1 Jesus appeareth to his disciples as they were a fishing, 6-7 whom thy knew by a miraculous
draught of fishes. 15 He committeth the charge of the sheep to Peter, 28 and foretelleth him of
the manner of his death.
1 After these things, Jesus shewed himself again to his disciples at the sea of
Tiberias; and thus shewed he himself;
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, which is called Didymus, and
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his
disciples.
3 Simon Peter said unto them, I go a fishing. They said unto him, We also will go
with thee. They went their way and entered into a ship straightway, and that
night caught they nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore; nevertheless
the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
65
5 Jesus then said unto them, Sirs, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 Then he said unto them, Cast out the net on the right side of the ship, and ye
shall find. So they cast out, and they were not able at all to draw it, for the
multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore said the disciple whom Jesus loved, unto Peter, It is the Lord. When
Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his coat to him (for he was
naked) and cast himself into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came by ship, (for they were not far from land, but
about two hundred cubits) and they drew the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw hot coals, and fish laid
thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus said unto them, Bring of the fishes, which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter stepped forth and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a
hundred, fifty and three; and albeit there were so many, yet was not the net
broken.
12 Jesus said unto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask
him, Who art thou? Seeing they knew that he was the Lord.
13 Jesus then came and took bread and gave them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that
he was risen again from the dead.
15 ¶ So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon the son of Jona,
lovest thou me more than these? He said unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that
I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He said to him again the second time, Simon the son of Jona, lovest thou me?
He said unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him,
Feed my sheep.
17 He said unto him the third time, Simon the son of Jona, lovest thou me? Peter
was sorry because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And said unto
him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said unto
him, Feed my sheep.
66
18 Verily, verily I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself,
and walkedst whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt
stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou
wouldest not.
19 And this spake he signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when
he had said this, he said to him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter turned about, and saw the disciple whom JESUS loved, following,
which had also leaned on his breast at supper, and had said, Lord, which is he
that betrayeth thee?
21 When Peter therefore saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what shall this man do?
22 Jesus said unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is it to thee? Follow
thou me.
23 Then went this word abroad among the brethren, that this disciple should not
die. Yet Jesus said not to him, He shall not die, but if I will that he tarry till I
come, what is it to thee?
24 This is that disciple, which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things,
and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Now there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they
should be written every one, I suppose the world could not contain the books
that should be written, Amen.
67
