JOH 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
JOH 1:2 He was in the
beginning with God.
JOH 1:3 All things came
into being by Him, and apart from
Him nothing came into being that
has come into being.
JOH 1:4 In Him was life,
and the life was the light of men.
JOH 1:5 And the light
shines in the darkness, and the
darkness did not comprehend it.
JOH 1:6 There came a man,
sent from God, whose name was
John.
JOH 1:7 He came for a
witness, that he might bear
witness of the light, that all
might believe through him.
JOH 1:8 He was not the
light, but came that he might bear
witness of the light.
JOH 1:9 There was the true
light which, coming into the
world, enlightens every man.
JOH 1:10 He was in the
world, and the world was made
through Him, and the world did not
know Him.
JOH 1:11 He came to His
own, and those who were His own
did not receive Him.
JOH 1:12 But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the
right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His
name,
JOH 1:13 who were born not
of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
JOH 1:14 And the Word
became flesh, and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, glory as
of the only begotten from the
Father, full of grace and truth.
JOH 1:15 John bore witness
of Him, and cried out, saying,
"This was He of whom I said, 'He
who comes after me has a higher
rank than I, for He existed before
me.'"
JOH 1:16 For of His fulness
we have all received, and grace
upon grace.
JOH 1:17 For the Law was
given through Moses; grace and
truth were realized through Jesus
Christ.
JOH 1:18 No man has seen
God at any time; the only begotten
God, who is in the bosom of the
Father, He has explained Him.
JOH 1:19 And this is the
witness of John, when the Jews
sent to him priests and Levites
from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who
are you?"
JOH 1:20 And he confessed,
and did not deny, and he
confessed, "I am not the Christ."
JOH 1:21 And they asked
him, "What then? Are you Elijah?"
And he said, "I am not." "Are you
the Prophet?" And he answered,
"No."
JOH 1:22 They said then to
him, "Who are you, so that we may
give an answer to those who sent
us? What do you say about
yourself?"
JOH 1:23 He said, "I am a
voice of one crying in the
wilderness, 'Make straight the way
of the Lord,' as Isaiah the
prophet said."
JOH 1:24 Now they had been
sent from the Pharisees.
JOH 1:25 And they asked
him, and said to him, "Why then
are you baptizing, if you are not
the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the
Prophet?"
JOH 1:26 John answered them
saying, "I baptize in water, but
among you stands One whom you do
not know.
JOH 1:27 "It is He who
comes after me, the thong of whose
sandal I am not worthy to untie."
JOH 1:28 These things took
place in Bethany beyond the
Jordan, where John was baptizing.
JOH 1:29 The next day he
saw Jesus coming to him, and said,
"Behold, the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world!
JOH 1:30 "This is He on
behalf of whom I said, 'After me
comes a Man who has a higher rank
than I, for He existed before me.'
JOH 1:31 "And I did not
recognize Him, but in order that
He might be manifested to Israel,
I came baptizing in water."
JOH 1:32 And John bore
witness saying, "I have beheld the
Spirit descending as a dove out of
heaven, and He remained upon Him.
JOH 1:33 "And I did not
recognize Him, but He who sent me
to baptize in water said to me,
'He upon whom you see the Spirit
descending and remaining upon Him,
this is the one who baptizes in
the Holy Spirit.'
JOH 1:34 "And I have seen,
and have borne witness that this
is the Son of God."
JOH 1:35 Again the next day
John was standing with two of his
disciples,
JOH 1:36 and he looked upon
Jesus as He walked, and said,
"Behold, the Lamb of God!"
JOH 1:37 And the two
disciples heard him speak, and
they followed Jesus.
JOH 1:38 And Jesus turned,
and beheld them following, and
said to them,
"What do you
seek?" And they said to
Him, "Rabbi (which translated
means Teacher), where are You
staying?"
JOH 1:39 He said to them,
"Come, and
you will see." They came
therefore and saw where He was
staying; and they stayed with Him
that day, for it was about the
tenth hour.
JOH 1:40 One of the two who
heard John speak, and followed
Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother.
JOH 1:41 He found first his
own brother Simon, and said to
him, "We have found the Messiah"
(which translated means Christ).
JOH 1:42 He brought him to
Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and
said, "You
are Simon the son of John; you
shall be called Cephas"
(which is translated Peter).
JOH 1:43 The next day He
purposed to go forth into Galilee,
and He found Philip. And Jesus
said to him,
"Follow Me."
JOH 1:44 Now Philip was
from Bethsaida, of the city of
Andrew and Peter.
JOH 1:45 Philip found
Nathanael and said to him, "We
have found Him of whom Moses in
the Law and also the Prophets
wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son
of Joseph."
JOH 1:46 And Nathanael said
to him, "Can any good thing come
out of Nazareth?" Philip said to
him, "Come and see."
JOH 1:47 Jesus saw
Nathanael coming to Him, and said
of him,
"Behold, an Israelite indeed, in
whom is no guile!"
JOH 1:48 Nathanael said to
Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus
answered and said to him,
"Before
Philip called you, when you were
under the fig tree, I saw you."
JOH 1:49 Nathanael answered
Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of
God; You are the King of Israel."
JOH 1:50 Jesus answered and
said to him,
"Because I said to you that I saw
you under the fig tree, do you
believe? You shall see greater
things than these."
JOH 1:51 And He said to
him, "Truly,
truly, I say to you, you shall see
the heavens opened, and the angels
of God ascending and descending on
the Son of Man."

JOH 2:1
And on the third day there was a
wedding in Cana of Galilee, and
the mother of Jesus was there;
JOH 2:2 and Jesus also was
invited, and His disciples, to the
wedding.
JOH 2:3 And when the wine
gave out, the mother of Jesus said
to Him, "They have no wine."
JOH 2:4 And Jesus said to
her, "Woman,
what do I have to do with you? My
hour has not yet come."
JOH 2:5 His mother said to
the servants, "Whatever He says to
you, do it."
JOH 2:6 Now there were six
stone waterpots set there for the
Jewish custom of purification,
containing twenty or thirty
gallons each.
JOH 2:7 Jesus said to them,
"Fill the
waterpots with water." And
they filled them up to the brim.
JOH 2:8 And He said to
them, "Draw some out now, and take
it to the headwaiter." And they
took it to him.
JOH 2:9 And when the
headwaiter tasted the water which
had become wine, and did not know
where it came from (but the
servants who had drawn the water
knew), the headwaiter called the
bridegroom,
JOH 2:10 and said to him,
"Every man serves the good wine
first, and when men have drunk
freely, then that which is poorer;
you have kept the good wine until
now."
JOH 2:11 This beginning of
His signs Jesus did in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested His glory,
and His disciples believed in Him.
JOH 2:12 After this He went
down to Capernaum, He and His
mother, and His brothers, and His
disciples; and there they stayed a
few days.
JOH 2:13 And the Passover
of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus
went up to Jerusalem.
JOH 2:14 And He found in
the temple those who were selling
oxen and sheep and doves, and the
moneychangers seated.
JOH 2:15 And He made a
scourge of cords, and drove them
all out of the temple, with the
sheep and the oxen; and He poured
out the coins of the
moneychangers, and overturned
their tables;
JOH 2:16 and to those who
were selling the doves He said,
"Take these
things away; stop making My
Father's house a house of
merchandise."
JOH 2:17 His disciples
remembered that it was written,
"Zeal for Thy house will consume
me."
JOH 2:18 The Jews therefore
answered and said to Him, "What
sign do You show to us, seeing
that You do these things?"
JOH 2:19 Jesus answered and
said to them,
"Destroy
this temple, and in three days I
will raise it up."
JOH 2:20 The Jews therefore
said, "It took forty-six years to
build this temple, and will You
raise it up in three days?"
JOH 2:21 But He was
speaking of the temple of His
body.
JOH 2:22 When therefore He
was raised from the dead, His
disciples remembered that He said
this; and they believed the
Scripture, and the word which
Jesus had spoken.
JOH 2:23 Now when He was in
Jerusalem at the Passover, during
the feast, many believed in His
name, beholding His signs which He
was doing.
JOH 2:24 But Jesus, on His
part, was not entrusting Himself
to them, for He knew all men,
JOH 2:25 and because He did
not need anyone to bear witness
concerning man for He Himself knew
what was in man.

JOH 3:1
Now there was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a
ruler of the Jews;
JOH 3:2 this man came to
Him by night, and said to Him,
"Rabbi, we know that You have come
from God as a teacher; for no one
can do these signs that You do
unless God is with him."
JOH 3:3 Jesus answered and
said to him,
"Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God."
JOH 3:4 Nicodemus said to
Him, "How can a man be born when
he is old? He cannot enter a
second time into his mother's womb
and be born, can he?"
JOH 3:5 Jesus answered,
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, unless one is
born of water and the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of
God.
JOH 3:6
"That which
is born of the flesh is flesh, and
that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit.
JOH 3:7
"Do not
marvel that I said to you, 'You
must be born again.'
JOH 3:8
"The wind
blows where it wishes and you hear
the sound of it, but do not know
where it comes from and where it
is going; so is everyone who is
born of the Spirit."
JOH 3:9 Nicodemus answered
and said to Him, "How can these
things be?"
JOH 3:10 Jesus answered and
said to him,
"Are you the teacher of Israel,
and do not understand these
things?
JOH 3:11
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, we speak that
which we know, and bear witness of
that which we have seen; and you
do not receive our witness.
JOH 3:12
"If I told
you earthly things and you do not
believe, how shall you believe if
I tell you heavenly things?
JOH 3:13
"And no one
has ascended into heaven, but He
who descended from heaven, even
the Son of Man.
JOH 3:14
"And as
Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son
of Man be lifted up;
JOH 3:15
that whoever
believes may in Him have eternal
life.
JOH 3:16
"For God so
loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
JOH 3:17
"For God did
not send the Son into the world to
judge the world, but that the
world should be saved through Him.
JOH 3:18
"He who
believes in Him is not judged; he
who does not believe has been
judged already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
JOH 3:19
"And this is
the judgment, that the light is
come into the world, and men loved
the darkness rather than the
light; for their deeds were evil.
JOH 3:20
"For
everyone who does evil hates the
light, and does not come to the
light, lest his deeds should be
exposed.
JOH 3:21
"But he who
practices the truth comes to the
light, that his deeds may be
manifested as having been wrought
in God."
JOH 3:22 After these things
Jesus and His disciples came into
the land of Judea, and there He
was spending time with them and
baptizing.
JOH 3:23 And John also was
baptizing in Aenon near Salim,
because there was much water
there; and they were coming and
were being baptized.
JOH 3:24 For John had not
yet been thrown into prison.
JOH 3:25 There arose
therefore a discussion on the part
of John's disciples with a Jew
about purification.
JOH 3:26 And they came to
John and said to him, "Rabbi, He
who was with you beyond the
Jordan, to whom you have borne
witness, behold, He is baptizing,
and all are coming to Him."
JOH 3:27 John answered and
said, "A man can receive nothing,
unless it has been given him from
heaven.
JOH 3:28 "You yourselves
bear me witness, that I said, 'I
am not the Christ,' but, 'I have
been sent before Him.'
JOH 3:29 "He who has the
bride is the bridegroom; but the
friend of the bridegroom, who
stands and hears him, rejoices
greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice. And so this
joy of mine has been made full.
JOH 3:30 "He must increase,
but I must decrease.
JOH 3:31 "He who comes from
above is above all, he who is of
the earth is from the earth and
speaks of the earth. He who comes
from heaven is above all.
JOH 3:32 "What He has seen
and heard, of that He bears
witness; and no man receives His
witness.
JOH 3:33 "He who has
received His witness has set his
seal to this, that God is true.
JOH 3:34 "For He whom God
has sent speaks the words of God;
for He gives the Spirit without
measure.
JOH 3:35 "The Father loves
the Son, and has given all things
into His hand.
JOH 3:36 "He who believes
in the Son has eternal life; but
he who does not obey the Son shall
not see life, but the wrath of God
abides on him."

JOH 4:1
When therefore the Lord knew that
the Pharisees had heard that Jesus
was making and baptizing more
disciples than John
JOH 4:2 (although Jesus
Himself was not baptizing, but His
disciples were),
JOH 4:3 He left Judea, and
departed again into Galilee.
JOH 4:4 And He had to pass
through Samaria.
JOH 4:5 So He came to a
city of Samaria, called Sychar,
near the parcel of ground that
Jacob gave to his son Joseph;
JOH 4:6 and Jacob's well
was there. Jesus therefore, being
wearied from His journey, was
sitting thus by the well. It was
about the sixth hour.
JOH 4:7 There came a woman
of Samaria to draw water. Jesus
said to her,
"Give Me a drink."
JOH 4:8 For His disciples
had gone away into the city to buy
food.
JOH 4:9 The Samaritan woman
therefore said to Him, "How is it
that You, being a Jew, ask me for
a drink since I am a Samaritan
woman?" (For Jews have no dealings
with Samaritans.)
JOH 4:10 Jesus answered and
said to her,
"If you knew the gift of God, and
who it is who says to you, 'Give
Me a drink,' you would have asked
Him, and He would have given you
living water."
JOH 4:11 She said to Him,
"Sir, You have nothing to draw
with and the well is deep; where
then do You get that living water?
JOH 4:12 "You are not
greater than our father Jacob, are
You, who gave us the well, and
drank of it himself, and his sons,
and his cattle?"
JOH 4:13 Jesus answered and
said to her,
"Everyone who drinks of this water
shall thirst again;
JOH 4:14
but whoever
drinks of the water that I shall
give him shall never thirst; but
the water that I shall give him
shall become in him a well of
water springing up to eternal
life."
JOH 4:15 The woman said to
Him, "Sir, give me this water, so
I will not be thirsty, nor come
all the way here to draw."
JOH 4:16 He said to her,
"Go, call
your husband, and come here."
JOH 4:17 The woman answered
and said, "I have no husband."
Jesus said to her,
"You have
well said, 'I have no husband';
JOH 4:18
for you have
had five husbands, and the one
whom you now have is not your
husband; this you have said
truly."
JOH 4:19 The woman said to
Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are
a prophet.
JOH 4:20 "Our fathers
worshiped in this mountain, and
you people say that in Jerusalem
is the place where men ought to
worship."
JOH 4:21 Jesus said to her,
"Woman,
believe Me, an hour is coming when
neither in this mountain, nor in
Jerusalem, shall you worship the
Father.
JOH 4:22
"You worship
that which you do not know; we
worship that which we know, for
salvation is from the Jews.
JOH 4:23
"But an hour
is coming, and now is, when the
true worshipers shall worship the
Father in spirit and truth; for
such people the Father seeks to be
His worshipers.
JOH 4:24
"God is
spirit, and those who worship Him
must worship in spirit and truth."
JOH 4:25 The woman said to
Him, "I know that Messiah is
coming (He who is called Christ);
when that One comes, He will
declare all things to us."
JOH 4:26 Jesus said to her,
"I who speak
to you am He."
JOH 4:27 And at this point
His disciples came, and they
marveled that He had been speaking
with a woman; yet no one said,
"What do You seek?" or, "Why do
You speak with her?"
JOH 4:28 So the woman left
her waterpot, and went into the
city, and said to the men,
JOH 4:29 "Come, see a man
who told me all the things that I
have done; this is not the Christ,
is it?"
JOH 4:30 They went out of
the city, and were coming to Him.
JOH 4:31 In the meanwhile
the disciples were requesting Him,
saying, "Rabbi, eat."
JOH 4:32 But He said to
them, "I
have food to eat that you do not
know about."
JOH 4:33 The disciples
therefore were saying to one
another, "No one brought Him
anything to eat, did he?"
JOH 4:34 Jesus said to
them, "My
food is to do the will of Him who
sent Me, and to accomplish His
work.
JOH 4:35
"Do you not
say, 'There are yet four months,
and then comes the harvest'?
Behold, I say to you, lift up your
eyes, and look on the fields, that
they are #663300 for harvest.
JOH 4:36
"Already he
who reaps is receiving wages, and
is gathering fruit for life
eternal; that he who sows and he
who reaps may rejoice together.
JOH 4:37
"For in this
case the saying is true, 'One
sows, and another reaps.'
JOH 4:38
"I sent you
to reap that for which you have
not labored; others have labored,
and you have entered into their
labor."
JOH 4:39 And from that city
many of the Samaritans believed in
Him because of the word of the
woman who testified, "He told me
all the things that I have done."
JOH 4:40 So when the
Samaritans came to Him, they were
asking Him to stay with them; and
He stayed there two days.
JOH 4:41 And many more
believed because of His word;
JOH 4:42 and they were
saying to the woman, "It is no
longer because of what you said
that we believe, for we have heard
for ourselves and know that this
One is indeed the Savior of the
world."
JOH 4:43 And after the two
days He went forth from there into
Galilee.
JOH 4:44 For Jesus Himself
testified that a prophet has no
honor in his own country.
JOH 4:45 So when He came to
Galilee, the Galileans received
Him, having seen all the things
that He did in Jerusalem at the
feast; for they themselves also
went to the feast.
JOH 4:46 He came therefore
again to Cana of Galilee where He
had made the water wine. And there
was a certain royal official,
whose son was sick at Capernaum.
JOH 4:47 When he heard that
Jesus had come out of Judea into
Galilee, he went to Him, and was
requesting Him to come down and
heal his son; for he was at the
point of death.
JOH 4:48 Jesus therefore
said to him,
"Unless you people see signs and
wonders, you simply will not
believe."
JOH 4:49 The royal official
said to Him, "Sir, come down
before my child dies."
JOH 4:50 Jesus said to him,
"Go your
way; your son lives." The
man believed the word that Jesus
spoke to him, and he started off.
JOH 4:51 And as he was now
going down, his slaves met him,
saying that his son was living.
JOH 4:52 So he inquired of
them the hour when he began to get
better. They said therefore to
him, "Yesterday at the seventh
hour the fever left him."
JOH 4:53 So the father knew
that it was at that hour in which
Jesus said to him,
"Your son
lives"; and he himself
believed, and his whole household.
JOH 4:54 This is again a
second sign that Jesus performed,
when He had come out of Judea into
Galilee.

JOH 5:1
After these things there was a
feast of the Jews, and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
JOH 5:2 Now there is in
Jerusalem by the sheep gate a
pool, which is called in Hebrew
Bethesda, having five porticoes.
JOH 5:3 In these lay a
multitude of those who were sick,
blind, lame, and withered, waiting
for the moving of the waters;
JOH 5:4 for an angel of the
Lord went down at certain seasons
into the pool, and stirred up the
water; whoever then first, after
the stirring up of the water,
stepped in was made well from
whatever disease with which he was
afflicted.
JOH 5:5 And a certain man
was there, who had been
thirty-eight years in his
sickness.
JOH 5:6 When Jesus saw him
lying there, and knew that he had
already been a long time in that
condition, He said to him,
"Do you wish
to get well?"
JOH 5:7 The sick man
answered Him, "Sir, I have no man
to put me into the pool when the
water is stirred up, but while I
am coming, another steps down
before me."
JOH 5:8 Jesus said to him,
"Arise, take
up your pallet, and walk."
JOH 5:9 And immediately the
man became well, and took up his
pallet and began to walk. Now it
was the Sabbath on that day.
JOH 5:10 Therefore the Jews
were saying to him who was cured,
"It is the Sabbath, and it is not
permissible for you to carry your
pallet."
JOH 5:11 But he answered
them, "He
who made me well was the one who
said to me, 'Take up your pallet
and walk.'"
JOH 5:12 They asked him,
"Who is the man who said to you,
'Take up your pallet, and walk'?"
JOH 5:13 But he who was
healed did not know who it was;
for Jesus had slipped away while
there was a crowd in that place.
JOH 5:14 Afterward Jesus
found him in the temple, and said
to him,
"Behold, you have become well; do
not sin anymore, so that nothing
worse may befall you."
JOH 5:15 The man went away,
and told the Jews that it was
Jesus who had made him well.
JOH 5:16 And for this
reason the Jews were persecuting
Jesus, because He was doing these
things on the Sabbath.
JOH 5:17 But He answered
them, "My
Father is working until now, and I
Myself am working."
JOH 5:18 For this cause
therefore the Jews were seeking
all the more to kill Him, because
He not only was breaking the
Sabbath, but also was calling God
His own Father, making Himself
equal with God.
JOH 5:19 Jesus therefore
answered and was saying to them,
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, the Son can
do nothing of Himself, unless it
is something He sees the Father
doing; for whatever the Father
does, these things the Son also
does in like manner.
JOH 5:20
"For the
Father loves the Son, and shows
Him all things that He Himself is
doing; and greater works than
these will He show Him, that you
may marvel.
JOH 5:21
"For just as
the Father raises the dead and
gives them life, even so the Son
also gives life to whom He wishes.
JOH 5:22
"For not
even the Father judges anyone, but
He has given all judgment to the
Son,
JOH 5:23
in order
that all may honor the Son, even
as they honor the Father. He who
does not honor the Son does not
honor the Father who sent Him.
JOH 5:24
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who hears
My word, and believes Him who sent
Me, has eternal life, and does not
come into judgment, but has passed
out of death into life.
JOH 5:25
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, an hour is
coming and now is, when the dead
shall hear the voice of the Son of
God; and those who hear shall
live.
JOH 5:26
"For just as
the Father has life in Himself,
even so He gave to the Son also to
have life in Himself;
JOH 5:27
and He gave
Him authority to execute judgment,
because He is the Son of Man.
JOH 5:28
"Do not
marvel at this; for an hour is
coming, in which all who are in
the tombs shall hear His voice,
JOH 5:29
and shall
come forth; those who did the good
deeds to a resurrection of life,
those who committed the evil deeds
to a resurrection of judgment.
JOH 5:30
"I can do
nothing on My own initiative. As I
hear, I judge; and My judgment is
just, because I do not seek My own
will, but the will of Him who sent
Me.
JOH 5:31
"If I alone
bear witness of Myself, My
testimony is not true.
JOH 5:32
"There is
another who bears witness of Me,
and I know that the testimony
which He bears of Me is true.
JOH 5:33
"You have
sent to John, and he has borne
witness to the truth.
JOH 5:34
"But the
witness which I receive is not
from man, but I say these things
that you may be saved.
JOH 5:35
"He was the
lamp that was burning and was
shining and you were willing to
rejoice for a while in his light.
JOH 5:36
"But the
witness which I have is greater
than that of John; for the works
which the Father has given Me to
accomplish, the very works that I
do, bear witness of Me, that the
Father has sent Me.
JOH 5:37
"And the
Father who sent Me, He has borne
witness of Me. You have neither
heard His voice at any time, nor
seen His form.
JOH 5:38
"And you do
not have His word abiding in you,
for you do not believe Him whom He
sent.
JOH 5:39
"You search
the Scriptures, because you think
that in them you have eternal
life; and it is these that bear
witness of Me;
JOH 5:40
and you are
unwilling to come to Me, that you
may have life.
JOH 5:41
"I do not
receive glory from men;
JOH 5:42
but I know
you, that you do not have the love
of God in yourselves.
JOH 5:43
"I have come
in My Father's name, and you do
not receive Me; if another shall
come in his own name, you will
receive him.
JOH 5:44
"How can you
believe, when you receive glory
from one another, and you do not
seek the glory that is from the
one and only God?
JOH 5:45
"Do not
think that I will accuse you
before the Father; the one who
accuses you is Moses, in whom you
have set your hope.
JOH 5:46
"For if you
believed Moses, you would believe
Me; for he wrote of Me.
JOH 5:47
"But if you
do not believe his writings, how
will you believe My words?"

JOH 6:1
After these things Jesus went away
to the other side of the Sea of
Galilee (or Tiberias).
JOH 6:2 And a great
multitude was following Him,
because they were seeing the signs
which He was performing on those
who were sick.
JOH 6:3 And Jesus went up
on the mountain, and there He sat
with His disciples.
JOH 6:4 Now the Passover,
the feast of the Jews, was at
hand.
JOH 6:5 Jesus therefore
lifting up His eyes, and seeing
that a great multitude was coming
to Him, said to Philip,
"Where are
we to buy bread, that these may
eat?"
JOH 6:6 And this He was
saying to test him; for He Himself
knew what He was intending to do.
JOH 6:7 Philip answered
Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of
bread is not sufficient for them,
for everyone to receive a little."
JOH 6:8 One of His
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother, said to Him,
JOH 6:9 "There is a lad
here who has five barley loaves
and two fish, but what are these
for so many people?"
JOH 6:10 Jesus said,
"Have the
people sit down." Now there
was much grass in the place. So
the men sat down, in number about
five thousand.
JOH 6:11 Jesus therefore
took the loaves; and having given
thanks, He distributed to those
who were seated; likewise also of
the fish as much as they wanted.
JOH 6:12 And when they were
filled, He said to His disciples,
"Gather up
the leftover fragments that
nothing may be lost."
JOH 6:13 And so they
gathered them up, and filled
twelve baskets with fragments from
the five barley loaves, which were
left over by those who had eaten.
JOH 6:14 When therefore the
people saw the sign which He had
performed, they said, "This is of
a truth the Prophet who is to come
into the world."
JOH 6:15 Jesus therefore
perceiving that they were
intending to come and take Him by
force, to make Him king, withdrew
again to the mountain by Himself
alone.
JOH 6:16 Now when evening
came, His disciples went down to
the sea,
JOH 6:17 and after getting
into a boat, they started to cross
the sea to Capernaum. And it had
already become dark, and Jesus had
not yet come to them.
JOH 6:18 And the sea began
to be stirred up because a strong
wind was blowing.
JOH 6:19 When therefore
they had rowed about three or four
miles, they beheld Jesus walking
on the sea and drawing near to the
boat; and they were frightened.
JOH 6:20 But He said to
them, "It is
I; do not be afraid."
JOH 6:21 They were willing
therefore to receive Him into the
boat; and immediately the boat was
at the land to which they were
going.
JOH 6:22 The next day the
multitude that stood on the other
side of the sea saw that there was
no other small boat there, except
one, and that Jesus had not
entered with His disciples into
the boat, but that His disciples
had gone away alone.
JOH 6:23 There came other
small boats from Tiberias near to
the place where they ate the bread
after the Lord had given thanks.
JOH 6:24 When the multitude
therefore saw that Jesus was not
there, nor His disciples, they
themselves got into the small
boats, and came to Capernaum,
seeking Jesus.
JOH 6:25 And when they
found Him on the other side of the
sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi,
when did You get here?"
JOH 6:26 Jesus answered
them and said,
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, you seek Me,
not because you saw signs, but
because you ate of the loaves, and
were filled.
JOH 6:27
"Do not work
for the food which perishes, but
for the food which endures to
eternal life, which the Son of Man
shall give to you, for on Him the
Father, even God, has set His
seal."
JOH 6:28 They said
therefore to Him, "What shall we
do, that we may work the works of
God?"
JOH 6:29 Jesus answered and
said to them,
"This is the
work of God, that you believe in
Him whom He has sent."
JOH 6:30 They said
therefore to Him, "What then do
You do for a sign, that we may
see, and believe You? What work do
You perform?
JOH 6:31 "Our fathers ate
the manna in the wilderness; as it
is written, 'He gave them bread
out of heaven to eat.'"
JOH 6:32 Jesus therefore
said to them,
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, it is not
Moses who has given you the bread
out of heaven, but it is My Father
who gives you the true bread out
of heaven.
JOH 6:33
"For the
bread of God is that which comes
down out of heaven, and gives life
to the world."
JOH 6:34 They said
therefore to Him, "Lord, evermore
give us this bread."
JOH 6:35 Jesus said to
them, "I am
the bread of life; he who comes to
Me shall not hunger, and he who
believes in Me shall never thirst.
JOH 6:36
"But I said
to you, that you have seen Me, and
yet do not believe.
JOH 6:37
"All that
the Father gives Me shall come to
Me, and the one who comes to Me I
will certainly not cast out.
JOH 6:38
"For I have
come down from heaven, not to do
My own will, but the will of Him
who sent Me
