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.
JOH 6:39 "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
JOH 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
JOH 6:41 The Jews therefore were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."
JOH 6:42 And they were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"
JOH 6:43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.
JOH 6:44 "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
JOH 6:45 "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught of God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
JOH 6:46 "Not that any man has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.
JOH 6:47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.
JOH 6:48 "I am the bread of life.
JOH 6:49 "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
JOH 6:50 "This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.
JOH 6:51 "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread also which I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh."
JOH 6:52 The Jews therefore began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"
JOH 6:53 Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
JOH 6:54 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
JOH 6:55 "For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
JOH 6:56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
JOH 6:57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.
JOH 6:58 "This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died, he who eats this bread shall live forever."
JOH 6:59 These things He said in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum.
JOH 6:60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"
JOH 6:61 But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?
JOH 6:62 "What then if you should behold the Son of Man ascending where He was before?
JOH 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
JOH 6:64 "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
JOH 6:65 And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been granted him from the Father."
JOH 6:66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew, and were not walking with Him anymore.
JOH 6:67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
JOH 6:68 Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
JOH 6:69 "And we have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."
JOH 6:70 Jesus answered them, "Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?"
JOH 6:71 Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

JOH 7:1 And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee; for He was unwilling to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
JOH 7:2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
JOH 7:3 His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may behold Your works which You are doing.
JOH 7:4 "For no one does anything in secret, when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
JOH 7:5 For not even His brothers were believing in Him.
JOH 7:6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time is not yet at hand, but your time is always opportune.
JOH 7:7 "The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.
JOH 7:8 "Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come."
JOH 7:9 And having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.
JOH 7:10 But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as it were, in secret.
JOH 7:11 The Jews therefore were seeking Him at the feast, and were saying, "Where is He?"
JOH 7:12 And there was much grumbling among the multitudes concerning Him; some were saying, "He is a good man"; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the multitude astray."
JOH 7:13 Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
JOH 7:14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.
JOH 7:15 The Jews therefore were marveling, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?"
JOH 7:16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
JOH 7:17 "If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself.
JOH 7:18 "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
JOH 7:19 "Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"
JOH 7:20 The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?"
JOH 7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel.
JOH 7:22 "On this account Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
JOH 7:23 "If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?
JOH 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
JOH 7:25 Therefore some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?
JOH 7:26 "And look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?
JOH 7:27 "However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from."
JOH 7:28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
JOH 7:29 "I know Him; because I am from Him, and He sent Me."
JOH 7:30 They were seeking therefore to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
JOH 7:31 But many of the multitude believed in Him; and they were saying, "When the Christ shall come, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"
JOH 7:32 The Pharisees heard the multitude muttering these things about Him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.
JOH 7:33 Jesus therefore said, "For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.
JOH 7:34 "You shall seek Me, and shall not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."
JOH 7:35 The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?
JOH 7:36 "What is this statement that He said, 'You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
JOH 7:37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
JOH 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'"
JOH 7:39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
JOH 7:40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This certainly is the Prophet."
JOH 7:41 Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, "Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He?
JOH 7:42 "Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
JOH 7:43 So there arose a division in the multitude because of Him.
JOH 7:44 And some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
JOH 7:45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"
JOH 7:46 The officers answered, "Never did a man speak the way this man speaks."
JOH 7:47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You have not also been led astray, have you?
JOH 7:48 "No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?
JOH 7:49 "But this multitude which does not know the Law is accursed."
JOH 7:50 Nicodemus said to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them),
JOH 7:51 "Our Law does not judge a man, unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"
JOH 7:52 They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee."
JOH 7:53 And everyone went to his home.

JOH 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
JOH 8:2 And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them.
JOH 8:3 And the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
JOH 8:4 they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.
JOH 8:5 "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"
JOH 8:6 And they were saying this, testing Him, in order that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground.
JOH 8:7 But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
JOH 8:8 And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
JOH 8:9 And when they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
JOH 8:10 And straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
JOH 8:11 And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go your way. From now on sin no more."
JOH 8:12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."
JOH 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You are bearing witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."
JOH 8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, or where I am going.
JOH 8:15 "You people judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
JOH 8:16 "But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and He who sent Me.
JOH 8:17 "Even in your law it has been written, that the testimony of two men is true.
JOH 8:18 "I am He who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me."
JOH 8:19 And so they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me, nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."
JOH 8:20 These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
JOH 8:21 He said therefore again to them, "I go away, and you shall seek Me, and shall die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."
JOH 8:22 Therefore the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
JOH 8:23 And He was saying to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
JOH 8:24 "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins."
JOH 8:25 And so they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning?
JOH 8:26 "I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."
JOH 8:27 They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.
JOH 8:28 Jesus therefore said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.
JOH 8:29 "And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."
JOH 8:30 As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.
JOH 8:31 Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;
JOH 8:32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
JOH 8:33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's offspring, and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You shall become free'?"
JOH 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
JOH 8:35 "And the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
JOH 8:36 "If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
JOH 8:37 "I know that you are Abraham's offspring; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
JOH 8:38 "I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."
JOH 8:39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.
JOH 8:40 "But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.
JOH 8:41 "You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."
JOH 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me; for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.
JOH 8:43 "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.
JOH 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
JOH 8:45 "But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
JOH 8:46 "Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
JOH 8:47 "He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."
JOH 8:48 The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
JOH 8:49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
JOH 8:50 "But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
JOH 8:51 "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
JOH 8:52 The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he shall never taste of death.'
JOH 8:53 "Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"
JOH 8:54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God';
JOH 8:55 and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I shall be a liar like you, but I do know Him, and keep His word.
JOH 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
JOH 8:57 The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
JOH 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
JOH 8:59 Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple.

JOH 9:1 And as He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.
JOH 9:2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?"
JOH 9:3 Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was in order that the works of God might be displayed in him.
JOH 9:4 "We must work the works of Him who sent Me, as long as it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.
JOH 9:5 "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
JOH 9:6 When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,
JOH 9:7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). And so he went away and washed, and came back seeing.
JOH 9:8 The neighbors therefore, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, "Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?"
JOH 9:9 Others were saying, "This is he," still others were saying, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the one."
JOH 9:10 Therefore they were saying to him, "How then were your eyes opened?"
JOH 9:11 He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."
JOH 9:12 And they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."
JOH 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him who was formerly blind.
JOH 9:14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
JOH 9:15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received his sight. And he said to them, "He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
JOH 9:16 Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.
JOH 9:17 They said therefore to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."
JOH 9:18 The Jews therefore did not believe it of him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,
JOH 9:19 and questioned them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"
JOH 9:20 His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
JOH 9:21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he shall speak for himself."
JOH 9:22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if anyone should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
JOH 9:23 For this reason his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."
JOH 9:24 So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner."
JOH 9:25 He therefore answered, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
JOH 9:26 They said therefore to him, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"
JOH 9:27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?"
JOH 9:28 And they reviled him, and said, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
JOH 9:29 "We know that God has spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we do not know where He is from."
JOH 9:30 The man answered and said to them, "Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
JOH 9:31 "We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.
JOH 9:32 "Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.
JOH 9:33 "If this man were not from God, He could do nothing."
JOH 9:34 They answered and said to him, "You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they put him out.
JOH 9:35 Jesus heard that they had put him out; and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
JOH 9:36 He answered and said, "And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"
JOH 9:37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you."
JOH 9:38 And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him.
JOH 9:39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
JOH 9:40 Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, "We are not blind too, are we?"
JOH 9:41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

JOH 10:1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
JOH 10:2 "But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
JOH 10:3 "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
JOH 10:4 "When he puts forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
JOH 10:5 "And a stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
JOH 10:6 This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.
JOH 10:7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
JOH 10:8 "All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
JOH 10:9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
JOH 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.
JOH 10:11 "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
JOH 10:12 "He who is a hireling, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees, and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them.
JOH 10:13 "He flees because he is a hireling, and is not concerned about the sheep.
JOH 10:14 "I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me,
JOH 10:15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
JOH 10:16 "And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.
JOH 10:17 "For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
JOH 10:18 "No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."
JOH 10:19 There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
JOH 10:20 And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?"
JOH 10:21 Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?"
JOH 10:22 At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem;
JOH 10:23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon.
JOH 10:24 The Jews therefore gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."
JOH 10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these bear witness of Me.
JOH 10:26 "But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.
JOH 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
JOH 10:28 and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.
JOH 10:29 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
JOH 10:30 "I and the Father are one."
JOH 10:31 The Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
JOH 10:32 Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?"
JOH 10:33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."
JOH 10:34 Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'?
JOH 10:35 "If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
JOH 10:36 do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world,' You are blaspheming,' because I said,' I am the Son of God'?
JOH 10:37 "If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
JOH 10:38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."
JOH 10:39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp.
JOH 10:40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.
JOH 10:41 And many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true."
JOH 10:42 And many believed in Him there.

JOH 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
JOH 11:2 And it was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
JOH 11:3 The sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick." JOH 11:4 But when Jesus heard it, He said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
JOH 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
JOH 11:6 When therefore He heard that he was sick, He stayed then two days longer in the place where He was.
JOH 11:7 Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
JOH 11:8 The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?"
JOH 11:9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
JOH 11:10 "But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
JOH 11:11 This He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awaken him out of sleep."
JOH 11:12 The disciples therefore said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
JOH 11:13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
JOH 11:14 Then Jesus therefore said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
JOH 11:15 and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."
JOH 11:16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."
JOH 11:17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
JOH 11:18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;
JOH 11:19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
JOH 11:20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him; but Mary still sat in the house.
JOH 11:21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
JOH 11:22 "Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."
JOH 11:23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother shall rise again."
JOH 11:24 Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."
JOH 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies,
JOH 11:26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
JOH 11:27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."
JOH 11:28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, "The Teacher is here, and is calling for you."
JOH 11:29 And when she heard it, she arose quickly, and was coming to Him.
JOH 11:30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.
JOH 11:31 The Jews then who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
JOH 11:32 Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
JOH 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her, also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,
JOH 11:34 and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."
JOH 11:35 Jesus wept.
JOH 11:36 And so the Jews were saying, "Behold how He loved him!"
JOH 11:37 But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have kept this man also from dying?"
JOH 11:38 Jesus therefore again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
JOH 11:39 Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days."
JOH 11:40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you, if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"
JOH 11:41 And so they removed the stone. And Jesus raised His eyes, and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou heardest Me.
JOH 11:42 "And I knew that Thou hearest Me always; but because of the people standing around I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send Me."
JOH 11:43 And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth."
JOH 11:44 He who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings; and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
JOH 11:45 Many therefore of the Jews, who had come to Mary and beheld what He had done, believed in Him.
JOH 11:46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
JOH 11:47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.
JOH 11:48 "If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
JOH 11:49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
JOH 11:50 nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."
JOH 11:51 Now this he did not say on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
JOH 11:52 and not for the nation only, but that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
JOH 11:53 So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.
JOH 11:54 Jesus therefore no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.
JOH 11:55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover, to purify themselves.
JOH 11:56 Therefore they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?"
JOH 11:57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.

JOH 12:1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
JOH 12:2 So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
JOH 12:3 Mary therefore took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
JOH 12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said,
JOH 12:5 "Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to poor people?"
JOH 12:6 Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
JOH 12:7 Jesus therefore said, "Let her alone, in order that she may keep it for the day of My burial.
JOH 12:8 "For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have Me."
JOH 12:9 The great multitude therefore of the Jews learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.
JOH 12:10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus to death also;
JOH 12:11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
JOH 12:12 On the next day the great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
JOH 12:13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet Him, and began to cry out, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel."
JOH 12:14 And Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
JOH 12:15 "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey's colt."
JOH 12:16 These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.
JOH 12:17 And so the multitude who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, were bearing Him witness.
JOH 12:18 For this cause also the multitude went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
JOH 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."
JOH 12:20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;
JOH 12:21 these therefore came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
JOH 12:22 Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip came, and they told Jesus.
JOH 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
JOH 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
JOH 12:25 "He who loves his life loses it; and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
JOH 12:26 "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall My servant also be; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
JOH 12:27 "Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.
JOH 12:28 "Father, glorify Thy name." There came therefore a voice out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
JOH 12:29 The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him."
JOH 12:30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.
JOH 12:31 "Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world shall be cast out.
JOH 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."
JOH 12:33 But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.
JOH 12:34 The multitude therefore answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
JOH 12:35 Jesus therefore said to them, "For a little while longer the light is among you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
JOH 12:36 "While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and He departed and hid Himself from them.
JOH 12:37 But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him;
JOH 12:38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
JOH 12:39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
JOH 12:40 "He has blinded their eyes, and He hardened their heart; lest they see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and be converted, and I heal them."
JOH 12:41 These things Isaiah said, because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.
JOH 12:42 Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
JOH 12:43 for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
JOH 12:44 And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me does not believe in Me, but in Him who sent Me.
JOH 12:45 "And he who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me.
JOH 12:46 "I have come as light into the world, that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness.
JOH 12:47 "And if anyone hears My sayings, and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
JOH 12:48 "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
JOH 12:49 "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me commandment, what to say, and what to speak.
JOH 12:50 "And I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

JOH 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
JOH 13:2 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,
JOH 13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God, and was going back to God,
JOH 13:4 rose from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself about.
JOH 13:5 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
JOH 13:6 And so He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"
JOH 13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you shall understand hereafter."
JOH 13:8 Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
JOH 13:9 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
JOH 13:10 Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
JOH 13:11 For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."
JOH 13:12 And so when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments, and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
JOH 13:13 "You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.
JOH 13:14 "If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
JOH 13:15 "For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.
JOH 13:16 "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.
JOH 13:17 "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
JOH 13:18 "I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.'
JOH 13:19 "From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.
JOH 13:20 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
JOH 13:21 When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."
JOH 13:22 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.
JOH 13:23 There was reclining on Jesus' breast one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
JOH 13:24 Simon Peter therefore gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."
JOH 13:25 He, leaning back thus on Jesus' breast, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
JOH 13:26 Jesus therefore answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
JOH 13:27 And after the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Jesus therefore said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
JOH 13:28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.
JOH 13:29 For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor.
JOH 13:30 And so after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.
JOH 13:31 When therefore he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;
JOH 13:32 if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.
JOH 13:33 "Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You shall seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, I now say to you also, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'
JOH 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
JOH 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
JOH 13:36 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, "Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you shall follow later."
JOH 13:37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You."
JOH 13:38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a cock shall not crow, until you deny Me three times.

JOH 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
JOH 14:2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
JOH 14:3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
JOH 14:4 "And you know the way where I am going."
JOH 14:5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"
JOH 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
JOH 14:7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."
JOH 14:8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."
JOH 14:9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?
JOH 14:10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
JOH 14:11 "Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; otherwise believe on account of the works themselves.
JOH 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.
JOH 14:13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
JOH 14:14 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.
JOH 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
JOH 14:16 "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
JOH 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.
JOH 14:18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
JOH 14:19 "After a little while the world will behold Me no more; but you will behold Me; because I live, you shall live also.
JOH 14:20 "In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
JOH 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to him."
JOH 14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us, and not to the world?"
JOH 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him.
JOH 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.
JOH 14:25 "These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you.
JOH 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
JOH 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
JOH 14:28 "You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.
JOH 14:29 "And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, you may believe.
JOH 14:30 "I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;
JOH 14:31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

JOH 15:1 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
JOH 15:2 "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit.
JOH 15:3 "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
JOH 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
JOH 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.
JOH 15:6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
JOH 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.
JOH 15:8 "By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
JOH 15:9 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
JOH 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.
JOH 15:11 "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
JOH 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
JOH 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
JOH 15:14 "You are My friends, if you do what I command you.
JOH 15:15 "No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
JOH 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you.
JOH 15:17 "This I command you, that you love one another.
JOH 15:18 "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
JOH 15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
JOH 15:20 "Remember the word that I said to you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
JOH 15:21 "But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.
JOH 15:22 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
JOH 15:23 "He who hates Me hates My Father also.
JOH 15:24 "If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.
JOH 15:25 "But they have done this in order that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'
JOH 15:26 "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me,
JOH 15:27 and you will bear witness also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

JOH 16:1 "These things I have spoken to you, that you may be kept from stumbling.
JOH 16:2 "They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.
JOH 16:3 "And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father, or Me.
JOH 16:4 "But these things I have spoken to you, that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
JOH 16:5 "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
JOH 16:6 "But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
JOH 16:7 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
JOH 16:8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
JOH 16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
JOH 16:10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me;
JOH 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
JOH 16:12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
JOH 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
JOH 16:14 "He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you.
JOH 16:15 "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose it to you.
JOH 16:16 "A little while, and you will no longer behold Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."
JOH 16:17 Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling us, 'A little while, and you will not behold Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"
JOH 16:18 And so they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."
JOH 16:19 Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?
JOH 16:20 "Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned to joy.
JOH 16:21 "Whenever a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a child has been born into the world.
JOH 16:22 "Therefore you too now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy away from you.
JOH 16:23 "And in that day you will ask Me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you in My name.
JOH 16:24 "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
JOH 16:25 "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will speak no more to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
JOH 16:26 "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf;
JOH 16:27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
JOH 16:28 "I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again, and going to the Father."
JOH 16:29 His disciples said, "Lo, now You are speaking plainly, and are not using a figure of speech.
JOH 16:30 "Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."
JOH 16:31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
JOH 16:32 "Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
JOH 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

JOH 17:1 These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that the Son may glorify Thee,
JOH 17:2 even as Thou gavest Him authority over all mankind, that to all whom Thou hast given Him, He may give eternal life.
JOH 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.
JOH 17:4 "I glorified Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do.
JOH 17:5 "And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.
JOH 17:6 "I manifested Thy name to the men whom Thou gavest Me out of the world; Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to Me, and they have kept Thy word.
JOH 17:7 "Now they have come to know that everything Thou hast given Me is from Thee;
JOH 17:8 for the words which Thou gavest Me I have given to them; and they received them, and truly understood that I came forth from Thee, and they believed that Thou didst send Me.
JOH 17:9 "I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine;
JOH 17:10 and all things that are Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
JOH 17:11 "And I am no more in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, the name which Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as We are.
JOH 17:12 "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Thy name which Thou hast given Me; and I guarded them, and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
JOH 17:13 "But now I come to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
JOH 17:14 "I have given them Thy word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
JOH 17:15 "I do not ask Thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
JOH 17:16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
JOH 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth.
JOH 17:18 "As Thou didst send Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
JOH 17:19 "And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
JOH 17:20 "I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
JOH 17:21 that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.
JOH 17:22 "And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one;
JOH 17:23 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me.
JOH 17:24 "Father, I desire that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; for Thou didst love Me before the foundation of the world.
JOH 17:25 "O righteous Father, although the world has not known Thee, yet I have known Thee; and these have known that Thou didst send Me;
JOH 17:26 and I have made Thy name known to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith Thou didst love Me may be in them, and I in them."

JOH 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, into which He Himself entered, and His disciples.
JOH 18:2 Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place; for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
JOH 18:3 Judas then, having received the Roman cohort, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
JOH 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth, and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"
JOH 18:5 They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also who was betraying Him, was standing with them.
JOH 18:6 When therefore He said to them, "I am He," they drew back, and fell to the ground.
JOH 18:7 Again therefore He asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."
JOH 18:8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; if therefore you seek Me, let these go their way,"
JOH 18:9 that the word might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom Thou hast given Me I lost not one."
JOH 18:10 Simon Peter therefore having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.
JOH 18:11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"
JOH 18:12 So the Roman cohort and the commander, and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,
JOH 18:13 and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
JOH 18:14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
JOH 18:15 And Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,
JOH 18:16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought in Peter.
JOH 18:17 The slave-girl therefore who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
JOH 18:18 Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
JOH 18:19 The high priest therefore questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.
JOH 18:20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
JOH 18:21 "Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said."
JOH 18:22 And when He had said this, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"
JOH 18:23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"
JOH 18:24 Annas therefore sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
JOH 18:25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
JOH 18:26 One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
JOH 18:27 Peter therefore denied it again; and immediately a cock crowed.
JOH 18:28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium in order that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
JOH 18:29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"
JOH 18:30 They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you."
JOH 18:31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death,"
JOH 18:32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.
JOH 18:33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
JOH 18:34 Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"
JOH 18:35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what have You done?"
JOH 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."
JOH 18:37 Pilate therefore said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
JOH 18:38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no guilt in Him.
JOH 18:39 "But you have a custom, that I should release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"
JOH 18:40 Therefore they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

JOH 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him.
JOH 19:2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and arrayed Him in a purple robe;
JOH 19:3 and they began to come up to Him, and say, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him blows in the face.
JOH 19:4 And Pilate came out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."
JOH 19:5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"
JOH 19:6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him."
JOH 19:7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God."
JOH 19:8 When Pilate therefore heard this statement, he was the more afraid;
JOH 19:9 and he entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
JOH 19:10 Pilate therefore said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"
JOH 19:11 Jesus answered, "You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me up to you has the greater sin."
JOH 19:12 As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."
JOH 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
JOH 19:14 Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
JOH 19:15 They therefore cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
JOH 19:16 So he then delivered Him to them to be crucified.
JOH 19:17 They took Jesus therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
JOH 19:18 There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
JOH 19:19 And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And it was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
JOH 19:20 Therefore this inscription many of the Jews read, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek.
JOH 19:21 And so the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews'; but that He said,' I am King of the Jews.'"
JOH 19:22 Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
JOH 19:23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.
JOH 19:24 They said therefore to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots."
JOH 19:25 Therefore the soldiers did these things. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
JOH 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"
JOH 19:27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
JOH 19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
JOH 19:29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop, and brought it up to His mouth.
JOH 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head, and gave up His spirit.
JOH 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
JOH 19:32 The soldiers therefore came, and broke the legs of the first man, and of the other man who was crucified with Him;
JOH 19:33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs;
JOH 19:34 but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
JOH 19:35 And he who has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
JOH 19:36 For these things came to pass, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of Him shall be broken."
JOH 19:37 And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced."
JOH 19:38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. He came therefore, and took away His body.
JOH 19:39 And Nicodemus came also, who had first come to Him by night; bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
JOH 19:40 And so they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
JOH 19:41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.
JOH 19:42 Therefore on account of the Jewish day of preparation, because the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

JOH 20:1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.
JOH 20:2 And so she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
JOH 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they were going to the tomb.
JOH 20:4 And the two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first;
JOH 20:5 and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.
JOH 20:6 Simon Peter therefore also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he beheld the linen wrappings lying there,
JOH 20:7 and the face-cloth, which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.
JOH 20:8 So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb entered then also, and he saw and believed.
JOH 20:9 For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
JOH 20:10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
JOH 20:11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
JOH 20:12 and she beheld two angels in #663300 sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.
JOH 20:13 And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
JOH 20:14 When she had said this, she turned around, and beheld Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.
JOH 20:15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
JOH 20:16 Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).
JOH 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren, and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"
JOH 20:18 Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.
JOH 20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."
JOH 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
JOH 20:21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
JOH 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
JOH 20:23 "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."
JOH 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
JOH 20:25 The other disciples therefore were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I shall see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."
JOH 20:26 And after eight days again His disciples were inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace be with you."
JOH 20:27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing."
JOH 20:28 Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
JOH 20:29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."
JOH 20:30 Many other signs therefore Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
JOH 20:31 but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

JOH 21:1 After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.
JOH 21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.
JOH 21:3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out, and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.
JOH 21:4 But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
JOH 21:5 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."
JOH 21:6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find a catch." They cast therefore, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
JOH 21:7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." And so when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.
JOH 21:8 But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.
JOH 21:9 And so when they got out upon the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid, and fish placed on it, and bread.
JOH 21:10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."
JOH 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
JOH 21:12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.
JOH 21:13 Jesus came and took the bread, and gave them, and the fish likewise.
JOH 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
JOH 21:15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs."
JOH 21:16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Shepherd My sheep."
JOH 21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Tend My sheep.
JOH 21:18 "Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."
JOH 21:19 Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me!"
JOH 21:20 Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
JOH 21:21 Peter therefore seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"
JOH 21:22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"
JOH 21:23 This saying therefore went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"
JOH 21:24 This is the disciple who bears witness of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his witness is true.
JOH 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books which were written.
