18:12THEN Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.8:13Then the Pharisees said to him, You testify of yourself; your testimony is not true.8:14Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify of myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I came and whither I go; but you know not whence I come or whither I go.8:15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one;8:16and even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.8:17And it is written also in your law, that the testimony of two men is true;8:18I am one, testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me.8:19Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You have neither known me nor my Father; if you had known me you would also have known my Father.8:20These words he said in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him by force, for his hour had not yet come.
28:21Then Jesus said to them again, I go away, and you shall seek me and die in your sin; where I go, you cannot come.8:22Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go you cannot come?8:23And he said to them, You are from below; I am from above; you are from this world; I am not from this world.8:24Therefore I said to you, You shall die in your sins; for if you believe not that I am [the Christ], you shall die in your sins.8:25Then they said to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, What at the beginning, and what I tell you [now].8:26I have many things to say and judge of you; but he that sent me is true; and what I have heard from him, these things I speak in the world.8:27They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.8:28Then Jesus said to them, When you shall lift up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am [the Christ]; and I do nothing of myself; but I speak these things as the Father has taught me;8:29and he having sent me is with me, he has not left me alone, for I always do the things which please him.
38:30When he said these things many believed on him.8:31Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed;8:32and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.8:33They answered him, We are children of Abraham, and were never in servitude to any one; how say you, You shall become free?8:34Jesus answered them, I tell you most truly, that every one who commits sin is a servant of the sin.8:35But the servant continues not in the house for ever; the Son continues for ever.8:36If, therefore, the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.8:37I know that you are children of Abraham; but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.8:38What I have seen with my Father I speak, and you also do what you have heard from your father.8:39They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham;8:40but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this.8:41You do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born by fornication, we have one father, God.8:42Jesus said to them, If God was your father you would have loved me; for I came forth and come from God; for I came not of myself, but he sent me.8:43Why do you not understand my speech? because you cannot hear my word.8:44You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and stood not by the truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own; for he is a liar, and the father of him [that lies].8:45But because I tell you the truth you believe me not.8:46Who of you convicts me of a sin? If I say the truth, why do you not believe me?8:47He that is of God hears the words of God; you, therefore, hear not, because you are not of God.
48:48The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?8:49Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.8:50But I seek not my glory; there is one that seeks and judges.8:51I tell you most truly, if any one shall keep my word he shall never see death.8:52The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death.8:53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom do you make yourself?8:54Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, He is our God;8:55and you have not known him, but I have known him; and if I should say I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him and keep his word.8:56Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.8:57Then the Jews said to him, You have not yet fifty years, and have you seen Abraham?8:58Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am.8:59Then they took up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
19:1AND passing by he saw a man that was blind from birth;9:2and his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?9:3Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents, but that the works of God might appear in him.9:4I must perform the works of him that sent me, while it is day; night comes when no man can work.9:5While I am in the world I am the light of the world.9:6Saying these things he spit on the ground, and made a paste of the spittle, and put the paste on his eyes,9:7and said to him, Go, and wash in the pool of the Siloam; which is interpreted, Sent. Then he went away and washed, and came seeing.
29:8Then the neighbors and those who had seen him before, because he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?9:9Some said, This is he; others said, No, but he is like him; he said, I am he.9:10Then they said to him, How then were your eyes opened?9:11He answered, A man called Jesus made paste and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the Siloam and wash; then I went and washed, and obtained sight.9:12They said to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
39:13They brought to the Pharisees him that was formerly blind;9:14and it was on the sabbath when Jesus made the paste and opened his eyes.9:15Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he obtained sight. And he said to them, He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and see.9:16Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such miracles? And there was a division among them.9:17They said to the blind man again, What do you say of him, because he opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
49:18Then the Jews did not believe of him that he had been blind and received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight.9:19And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?9:20His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;9:21but how he now sees we know not, or who has opened his eyes we know not; ask him, he is of age, he will speak for himself.9:22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for already the Jews had agreed that if any one confessed him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue;9:23therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
59:24Then they called the man who had been blind, a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.9:25Then he answered, Whether he is a sinner I know not; one thing I know, that having been blind, I now see.9:26Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes?9:27He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear again? Do you also wish to be his disciples?9:28They reproached him, and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.9:29We know that God spoke to Moses, but we know not whence this man is.9:30The man answered and said to them, It is a strange thing, that you know not whence he is, and he has opened my eyes.9:31We know that God hears not sinners; but if one is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.9:32Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind;9:33unless this man was from God he would have been able to do nothing.9:34They answered and said to him, You were born entirely in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him without.
69:35Jesus heard that they had cast him without, and finding him he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God?9:36And he answered and said, Who is he, sir, that I shall believe on him?9:37Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and he that speaks to you is he.9:38And he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him.9:39And Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing become blind.
79:40And the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, Are we also blind?9:41Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would not have had sin; but now you say, We see, your sin remains.10:1I tell you most truly, he that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs in at some other place, he is a thief and robber;10:2but he that enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.10:3To him the gate-keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out.10:4When he puts out all his sheep he goes before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.10:5But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers.10:6This parable spoke Jesus to them, but they knew not what the words which he spoke to them meant.
810:7Then said Jesus to them again, I tell you most truly, I am the door of the sheep.10:8All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep have not heard them.10:9I am the door; by me if any one enters in he shall be saved, and go in and out, and find pasturage.10:10The thief comes not, except to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
910:11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.10:12But the hired servant, and one who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf seizes and scatters them;10:13for he is a hired servant and cares not for the sheep.10:14I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,10:15as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.
1010:16And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; and them I must lead, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.10:17Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.10:18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have a right to lay it down, and I have a right to take it again; this commandment have I received from my Father.10:19There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;10:20and many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?10:21Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
110:22IT was the dedication at Jerusalem; it was winter;10:23and Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.10:24Then the Jews came around him and said to him, How long do you hold our minds [in doubt]? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.10:25Jesus answered them, I have told you and you believe not; the works which I perform in my Father's name, these testify of me;10:26but you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you,10:27My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me,10:28and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand.10:29My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand.10:30I and the Father are one.
210:31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.10:32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do you stone me?10:33The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.10:34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said you are gods?10:35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken,10:36do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?10:37If I do not my Father's works, believe me not;10:38but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.10:39Then they sought again to take him by force; and he escaped out of their hand.
310:40And he went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and continued there.10:41And many came to him and said, John performed no miracle, but all things which John said of this man were true.10:42And many believed on him there.
111:1A CERTAIN man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.11:2It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick.11:3Then the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.11:4But Jesus hearing it said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.11:5And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.11:6When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he continued in the place where he was two days.
211:7Then after that he said to the disciples, Let us go again into Judea.11:8The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again?11:9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day? and if one walks in the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;11:10but if he walks in the night he stumbles, because the light is not in it.11:11He said these things, and after this he said to them, Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him.11:12Then they said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will recover.11:13But Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.11:14Then Jesus, therefore, said to them plainly, Lazarus has died;11:15and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him.11:16Then Thomas, who is called The twin, said to the fellow disciples, Let us go also, that we may die with him.
311:17Then Jesus coming found that he had been four days in the tomb.11:18And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadiums [1 3-4 miles] distant.11:19And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother.11:20Then when Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.11:21Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died;11:22but now also I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.11:23Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.11:24Martha said to him, I know that he will rise at the resurrection at the last day.11:25Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live,11:26and no one who lives and believes in me shall ever die; do you believe this?11:27She said to him, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.
411:28And having said this she went away and called Mary her sister, privately, saying, The teacher has come and calls for you.11:29When she heard, she arose quickly and came to him;11:30but Jesus had not yet entered into the village, but was at the place where Martha met him.11:31Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she arose and went out quickly, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb to weep there.11:32Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died.
511:33Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was greatly agitated in spirit and affected,11:34and said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.11:35Jesus wept.11:36Then the Jews said, Behold, how he loved him.11:37And some of them said, Could not this man who opens the eyes of the blind, cause that even he should not have died?11:38Then Jesus again being agitated within himself came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.11:39Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he smells; for he has been dead four days.11:40Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you will believe you shall see the glory of God?11:41Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted his eyes above, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;11:42and I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude who stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.11:43And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.11:44And the dead came forth, bound as to his feet and hands with bandages, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.
611:45Then many of the Jews who came with Mary, and saw what Jesus did, believed on him;11:46but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
711:47Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrim, and said, What do we accomplish? for this man performs many miracles.11:48If we leave him thus all will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away our place and nation.11:49And one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all,11:50neither consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that all the nation should perish.11:51This he said not of himself, but being chief priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;11:52and not for the nation only, but to bring together into one [body] all the children of God scattered abroad.11:53From that day, therefore, they took counsel to kill him.
811:54Then Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence to a region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he staid with his disciples.11:55And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem, before the passover, to purify themselves.11:56Then they sought Jesus, and standing in the temple said one to another, What do you think? that he will not come to the feast?11:57And the chief priests and Pharisees had given commandment, that if any one knew where he was he should make it known, that they might take him by force.
112:1THEN Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead.12:2Then they made him a supper there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those that reclined with him.12:3Then Mary taking a pound of genuine nard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.12:4But the Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said,12:5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii [$42], and given to the poor?12:6But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it.12:7Then Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation for my burial;12:8the poor you always have with you, but me you have not always.
212:9A great multitude of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.12:10And the chief priests took counsel to kill Lazarus also,12:11because many of the Jews withdrew on his account and believed in Jesus.
312:12On the next day a great multitude having come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,12:13took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!12:14And Jesus finding a young ass sat on it, as it is written;12:15Fear not, Daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes sitting on the colt of an ass.12:16His disciples did not understand these things at 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.12:17The multitude, therefore, which was with him, testified that he called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead.12:18On this account also the multitude met him, because they heard that he had performed this miracle.12:19The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, You see that you have gained nothing; behold, the world has gone after him.12:20And there were some Greeks of those who went up to Jerusalem to worship at the feast;12:21these, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.12:22Philip went and told Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.12:23And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified.12:24I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.12:25He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life.12:26If any man serves me let him follow me; and where I am there also shall my servant be. If anyone serves me, him will the Father honor.12:27Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour;12:28Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified and will glorify it again.12:29Then the multitude standing and hearing, said, It was thunder; others said, An angel spoke to him.12:30Jesus answered and said, This voice was not on my account, but for you.12:31There is now a judgment of this world; the ruler of this world shall now be cast out;12:32and if I am raised on high from the earth I will draw all men to me.12:33But this he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
512:34Then the multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ continues forever; and how say you, The Son of man must be raised on high? Who is this Son of man?12:35Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes.12:36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light. Jesus said these things, and went away and concealed himself from them.
612:37But though he had performed so many miracles before them they did not believe in him;12:38that the word of Isaiah the prophet, which he spoke, might be fulfilled; Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?12:39For this reason they could not believe, because, Isaiah said again,12:40He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I should cure them.12:41Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.12:42Nevertheless, many of the rulers believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogues;12:43for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
712:44And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him that sent me;12:45and he that beholds me beholds him that sent me.12:46I have come a light into the world, that no one who believes in me should continue in darkness.12:47And if any one hears my words and keeps them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.12:48He that rejects me and receives not my words, has one that judges him; the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him at the last day.12:49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me gave me commandment what to say and what to speak;12:50and I know that his commandment is eternal life. What things I speak, therefore, I so speak as the Father has told me.
113:1AND before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own in the world he loved them to the end.13:2And supper being over, the devil having already put it in the heart that Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, should betray him,13:3he knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,13:4arose from supper, and laid aside his clothes, and taking a towel girded himself:13:5Then he put water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
213:6Then he came to Simon Peter; he said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?13:7Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you know not now, but you shall know hereafter.13:8Peter said to him, You shall never by any means wash my feet. He answered him, Unless I wash you you have no part with me.13:9Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.13:10Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only that his feet should be washed, but is wholly pure; and you are pure, but not all.13:11For he knew him that was to betray him; therefore, he said, You are not all pure.
313:12When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his clothes and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?13:13You call me Teacher and Lord; and you say well, for I am.13:14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.13:15For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done.13:16I tell you most truly, the servant is not greater than his lord, nor the apostle greater than he that sent him.13:17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.13:18I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.13:19I tell you from this time, before it occurs, that when it occurs you may believe that I am [the Christ].13:20I tell you most truly, He that receives one that I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
413:21Having said these things Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, I tell you most truly, that one of you shall betray me.13:22The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.13:23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining on the bosom of Jesus.13:24Then Simon Peter made signs to this man, and said to him, Ask who it is of whom he speaks.13:25He, falling down on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, who is it?13:26Then Jesus answered, It is he to whom I will dip and give the mouthful. Then dipping the mouthful, he took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.13:27And after the mouthful, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly.13:28No one of those reclining knew for what purpose he said this to him,13:29for some thought, since Judas had the treasure-chest, that Jesus said to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.13:30He, therefore, having taken the mouthful, immediately went out; and it was night.
513:31When he had gone out Jesus said, Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.13:32If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him.13:33My little children, I am with you yet a little while. You shall seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Where I go you cannot come, I now also say to you.13:34I give you a new commandment to love another, as I have loved you that you also should love one another.13:35By this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.13:36Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered Where I go you cannot follow me now, but you shall follow afterwards.13:37Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.13:38Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for me? I tell you most truly, a cock shall not crow till you shall deny me thrice.
614:1Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God and believe in me.14:2In my Father's house are many mansions; if there were not I would have told you.14:3For I go to prepare a place for you; and if I go and shall prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may also be.14:4And where I go, you know the way.14:5Thomas said to him, Lord, we know not where you go, and how do we know the way?14:6Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.14:7If you had known me you would have known my Father; and from this time you know him and have seen him.
714:8Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.14:9Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father?14:10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you I speak not of myself, but the Father continuing in me, he does the works.14:11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe on account of the works themselves.14:12I tell you most truly, he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to the Father;14:13and whatever you ask in my name I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14:14If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
814:15If you love me, keep my commandments;14:16and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, to be with you forever,14:17the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it beholds it not nor knows it; but you know it, because it continues with you, and shall be in you.14:18I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.14:19Yet a little while and the world beholds me no more; but you shall behold me; because I live, you shall live also.14:20In that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.14:21He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.
914:22Judas said to him, not the Iscariot, Lord, and how is it that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?14:23Jesus answered and said to him, If any one loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our mansion with him.14:24He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's that sent me.
1014:25I have said these things to you while yet continuing with you,14:26but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and remind you of all things which I have told you.14:27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives give I to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.14:28You heard that I said to you, I will go away and come to you. If you loved me you would rejoice because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.14:29And now I have told you before it occurs, that when it occurs you may believe.14:30I will not speak with you much more; for the ruler of this world comes and has nothing in me;14:31but [I have said this] that the world may know that I love the Father, and that as the Father has commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
115:1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.15:2Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit.15:3You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you;15:4continue in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it continues in the vine, so you cannot, unless you continue in me.15:5I am the vine, you are the branches. He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing.15:6If any one continues not in me he is cast without as a branch, and is withered; and they collect them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.15:7If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be [given] you.15:8By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and be my disciples.15:9As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; continue in my love.15:10If you keep my commandments you shall continue in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and continue in his love.15:11I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed.15:12This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.15:13No man has greater love than this, that one should give his life for his friends.15:14You are my friends if you do what I command you;15:15I no longer call you servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does; but I have called you friends: for all things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.15:16You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should continue, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.15:17These things I charge you, that you love one another.
215:18If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you.15:19If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.15:20Remember the word which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.15:21But all these things they will do to you, on my account, because they know not him that sent me.15:22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin.15:23He that hates me, hates my Father also.15:24If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.15:25But [they do this] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.15:26But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me;15:27and you shall also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
316:1These things I have said to you, that you may not be offended.16:2They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming when every one that kills you will think he renders God a service.16:3And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father nor me.16:4But these things I have told you, that when the time comes you may remember that I told you of them. But I told you not these things at the beginning, because I was with you.16:5But now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, Where do you go?16:6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.16:7But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I should go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.16:8And when he has come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:16:9of sin, because they believe not on me;16:10and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you behold me no more;16:11and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
416:12I have many things yet to say to you, but you cannot bear them now;16:13but when he, the Spirit of truth has come, he will lead you in all the truth; for he will not speak of himself, but he will speak whatever he shall hear, and tell you things to come.16:14He shall glorify me, because he shall receive from me and tell you.16:15All things that the Father has, are mine; on this account I said, He shall receive of me and tell you.
516:16A little while and you shall not see me; and again a little while and you shall see me.16:17Then some of his disciples said one to another, What is this that he says to us, A little while and you shall not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me? and, Because I go to the Father?16:18They said therefore, What is this that he says, The little while? We do not know what he says.
616:19Jesus knew that they wished to ask him, and said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this that I said, A little while and you shall not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me?16:20I tell you most truly, that you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall become joy.16:21For when a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come; but when she has borne the child she no longer remembers the distress, because of joy that a man is born into the world.16:22And you therefore now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no one shall take from you.16:23And in that day you shall ask me nothing; I tell you most truly, whatever you shall ask the Father, he will give you in my name.16:24Till now you have asked nothing in my name; ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be complete.
716:25These things have I spoken to you in parables. The time is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but I will tell you plainly of the Father.16:26In that day you shall ask in my name, and I tell you not that I will ask the Father for you;16:27for the Father himself is a friend to you, because you have been friends to me, and believed that I came forth from God.16:28I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father.
816:29Then his disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and say no parable;16:30now we know that you know all things, and have no need that any one should ask you; on this account we believe that you have come forth from God.16:31Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?16:32Behold, the time is coming, and has come, that you shall be scattered every one to his own, and leave me alone; and I am not alone, for the Father is with me.16:33These things have I told you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction; but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.
117:1JESUS spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee,17:2as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given him he should give them eternal life.17:3And this is the eternal life; that they shall know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.17:4I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do.17:5And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
217:6I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.17:7Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee,17:8because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.17:9I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,17:10and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them.17:11And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we also are.17:12When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled;17:13but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them.
317:14I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.17:15I ask not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil.17:16They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.17:17Sanctify them by thy truth; thy word is truth.17:18As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world:17:19and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
417:20And I ask not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word,17:21that all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.17:22And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one as we are one,17:23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.17:24Father, what thou hast given me, I will that they should be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world;17:25and, righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me.17:26And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, as I also am in them.
118:1JESUS having said these words went out with his disciples across the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered and his disciples.18:2And Judas who betrayed him knew the place, for Jesus often retired there with his disciples.18:3Then Judas taking the guard and the officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with torches, and lamps, and weapons.18:4Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek?18:5They answered him, Jesus the Nazoraean. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas who betrayed him stood with them.18:6When, therefore, he said to them, I am he, they went backwards and fell on the ground.18:7Then he asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus, the Nazoraean.18:8Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if, therefore, you seek me, let these go;18:9that the word might be fulfilled which he said, Of those whom thou gayest me I have lost none.18:10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear; and the name of the servant was Malchus.18:11Then Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword in the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
218:12Then the guard and the chiliarch and the officers of the Jews apprehended Jesus, and bound him,18:13and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year;18:14and Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed for the people.
318:15But Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple; and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and went in with Jesus to the chief priest's court;18:16but Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought in Peter.18:17Then the female servant, the door-keeper, said to Peter, Are you also one of the disciples of this man? He said, I am not.18:18And the servants and officers having made a fire because it was cold, stood and warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
418:19Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and his teaching.18:20Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always assemble, and in secret I have said nothing.18:21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; behold, they know what I said.18:22He having said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave Jesus a blow, saying, Do you answer the chief priest thus?18:23Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrong, testify of the wrong; but if well, why do you beat me?18:24Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
518:25And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.18:26One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relation of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him?18:27Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew.
118:28THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Prætorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Prætorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.18:29Then Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man?18:30They answered and said to him, If he was not a criminal we should not have delivered him up to you.18:31Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;18:32that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
218:33Then Pilate went into the Prætorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews?18:34Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you of me?18:35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done?18:36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom had been of this world my officers would have fought for me, that I should not be given up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not here.18:37Then Pilate said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, As you say, I am a king. For this was I born, and for this I came into the world, that I should testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth hears my voice.18:38Pilate said to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find no fault in him.18:39But you have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover; are you willing, therefore, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?18:40Then all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.
319:1Then Pilate took and scourged Jesus.19:2And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head; and they put a purple garment about him,19:3and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they struck him with the open hand.19:4Then Pilate came out again and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.19:5Then Jesus came out, wearing the thorny crown and the purple garment. And he said to them, Behold the man!19:6When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.19:7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.
419:8When therefore Pilate heard this charge he was more afraid,19:9and entered into the Prætorium again, and said to Jesus, Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer.19:10Pilate said to him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and I have power to crucify you?19:11Jesus answered, You would have had no power against me if it had not been given you from above; therefore he that delivered me to you has a greater sin.
519:12From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried, saying, If you release this man you are not a friend of Cæsar; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Cæsar.19:13Then Pilate hearing these words led Jesus out, and sat on the tribunal, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.19:14And it was the preparation of the passover, it was about the sixth hour [noon]; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!19:15Then they 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 Cæsar.19:16Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified.
119:17THEN they took Jesus, and putting the cross on him he went out to what is called the place of a cranium, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha,19:18where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on one side and the other on the other, and Jesus between.19:19And Pilate wrote an inscription and put on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZORÆAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS.19:20Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.19:21Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.19:22Pilate answered, what I have written I have written.
219:23Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and his coat. But his coat was without seam, woven from the top through the whole.19:24They said, therefore, one to another, Let us not divide this, but cast lots for it whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did indeed these things.
319:25And there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene.19:26Then Jesus seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, said to his mother, Woman, behold your son.19:27Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own [house].
419:28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were already finished, that the Scripture might be fully accomplished, said, I thirst.19:29Then a vessel was set full of vinegar; and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a hyssop stalk, they presented it to his mouth.19:30When therefore Jesus took the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and inclining his head gave up the spirit.
519:31Then the Jews, that the bodies might not continue on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, for that was a great sabbath, asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken down.19:32Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other crucified with him,19:33and coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they broke not his legs;19:34but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.19:35He who saw has testified, and his testimony is true, for he knows that he says what is true, that you also may believe.19:36For these things were done that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken;19:37and again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.
619:38After these things Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus; and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took his body.19:39And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.19:40Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it with bandages, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to prepare for burial.19:41And there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid.19:42In that therefore they laid Jesus, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near.
120:1AND on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene came in the morning, while it was yet dark, to the tomb and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.20:2Then 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 from the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.20:3Then went Peter and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.20:4And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb,20:5and stooping down saw the bandages lying, but he went not in.20:6Then Simon Peter came following him, and went into the tomb, and beheld the bandages lying,20:7and the napkin which was on his head not lying with the bandages but folded up in a place by itself.20:8Then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and saw and believed;20:9for they did not yet know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.20:10Then the disciples went away by themselves.
220:11But Mary stood at the tomb outside, weeping. Then as she wept she stooped down to the tomb,20:12and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.20:13And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She said to them, Because they have taken my Lord and I know not where they have laid him.20:14Having said these words she turned around and beheld Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.20:15Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek? She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him.20:16Jesus said to her, Mary. She, turning around, said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which is interpreted, Teacher.20:17Jesus said to her, Do not touch me; for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.20:18Mary the Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he said these things to her.
320:19Then when it was evening, on that first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you.20:20And having said this he showed them both his hands and his side; then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.20:21Then he said to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent me, I also send you.20:22And having said this he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.20:23Those whose sins you forgive, are forgiven; and whose you retain, are retained.
420:24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.20:25Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord; but he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the impression of the nails, and put my finger in the impression of the nails, and put my hand in his side, I will not believe.20:26And after eight days his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you.20:27Then he said to Thomas, Reach here your finger and behold my hands, and reach your hand and put it in my side, and be not faithless but believing.20:28Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.20:29Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and believed.
520:30Jesus performed also many other miracles in the presence of his disciples which are not recorded in this book;20:31but these are recorded that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
621:1After these things he showed himself again to the disciples at the lake of Tiberias; and he showed himself thus.21:2Simon Peter, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was from Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.21:3Simon Peter said to them, I am going a fishing. They said to him, We will also go with you. They went out and entered into the ship; and on that night caught nothing,21:4but when it was now morning Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.21:5Then Jesus said to them, Children, have you any thing to eat? They answered him, No.21:6And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship and you shall find. Then they cast it, and they were not able to draw it from the number of fishes.21:7Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, for he was naked, and cast himself into the lake.21:8But the other disciples came with the boat, drawing the net of fishes, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits distant.21:9Then when they came to land they saw coals placed, and a fish laid upon [them], and bread.21:10Jesus said to them, Bring of the fish that you have now caught.21:11Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of great fishes a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many the net was not broken.21:12Jesus said to them, Come and breakfast. No one of the disciples dared to ask him, Who are you? for they knew that he was the Lord.21:13Jesus came and took the bread and gave them, and the fish likewise.21:14This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he had arisen from the dead.
721:15When therefore they had breakfasted, 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 am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my lambs.21:16Again he said to him a second time; Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my sheep.21:17He said to him a third time; Simon, son of John, are you a friend to me? Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, Are you a friend to me? and he said to him, Lord you know all things; you know that I am a friend to you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.21:18I tell you most truly, that when you were young you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you become old, you shall stretch out your hands and another shall bind you and carry you where you would not;21:19but he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God; and having said this, he said to him, Follow me.
821:20And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said, Lord, who is it that is to betray you?21:21Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man [do]?21:22Jesus said to him, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you? follow me.21:23The report then went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die; but Jesus said not to him, He shall not die; but, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you?
921:24This is the disciple who testifies of these things and has written them; and we know that his testimony is true.21:25And there are many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written particularly, I do not suppose the world itself could contain the books written.
