JOHN
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
